    Christmas Meditation

    Monday, December 24, 2007, 04:12 PM [General]

    Allow yourself to take a deep breath
    and as you gently exhale,
    drift back to when snow drifted high...
    illuminated by stars in the black frosty night...
    with a soft jingle of sleigh bells in the distance.
    Drift back to a time...
    when you knew reindeer could fly.

    Now step in from the cold holy night...
    into a room bathed in a welcoming glow...
    warmed by a cheery fireplace.
    Air thick with the scent of peppermint...
    cinnamon and pine...
    a carol plays on a silvery music box.

    In the center of this room...
    you behold with the eyes of a wondrous child...
    a magnificent evergreen...
    its branches lit by tiny candles...
    an angel of silk and lace floats above...
    and beneath its boughs, among the gifts...
    a toy drum, a porcelain doll,
    and a baby in a manger.

    Now close your eyes, and experience...
    the wonder, peace & joy...
    of a child on this night...
    Knowing these feelings...
    are forever a part of you.

    Whistle A Happy Tune

    Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 04:48 PM [General]

    I just realized that Oscar Hammerstein wrote a great affirmation for overcoming fear:

    Whenever I feel afraid
    I hold my head erect
    And whistle a happy tune
    So no one will suspect
    I'm afraid.

    While shivering in my shoes
    I strike a careless pose
    And whistle a happy tune
    And no one ever knows
    I'm afraid.

    The result of this deception
    Is very strange to tell
    For when I fool the people
    I fear I fool myself as well!

    I whistle a happy tune
    And ev'ry single time
    The happiness in the tune
    Convinces me that I'm not afraid.

    From The King and I

    The last two verses, in particular, seem to me to be very apropos to the process of hypnotherapy.

    Thank you so much! I love that approach and can see how that would be VERY beneficial! From a personal perspective, I know that approach would be something to which I would definitely have a favorable response. I have only read the Conversational Hypnosis Handbook and other small bits and pieces about Erickson's approach. From what I have read, I so appreciate his ability to slowly "sidle up" to the client and let the metaphors sort of "wash over" their subconcious! Thank you again!!
