Self Hypnosis

Now you have been offered one person's thoughts and experiences in regard to self hypnosis. Please let these ideas rest inside of you for now. We will explore these principles further in later articles.

The idea of answering the "wrong" Zen koan

In a Zen koan you are presented with a question that you are asked to find the answer to. When you are stuck in this process of finding an answer to the original koan, you often wind up providing yourself with the answer to the "wrong" koan.

Here is how this works in everyday life:

If you are feeling bad about yourself you might say- "I am incompetent." and at such times you will believe that you have made a factual statement, rather than realizing that you have instead answered a question that you are not aware of having asked.

The question you are answering when you say "I am incompetent." might be "What is my first thought after tensing up and no longer trusting in myself?" The answer would be "I am incompetent." In this context your answer makes total sense.

In each instance that you feel stuck, go back and find the question that you have been answering without realizing that you are doing so. Then go ahead and change your question to one that is likely to have a more generative answer.

For instance in the instance just described you could change your question to be, "What will my first thought be if I remain relaxed and trusting in myself?"

What will your answer to this question be?

Ask a different question and you will get a different answer!

Prelude to "Tuning in"

I want to "set the stage" for you prior to your beginning the following practice:

a.) The "practice" that follows is NOT meant to get specific results in regard to behavioral changes. This is very important to note.

You are being asked to pay attention to what is going on in the moment, rather than trying to change yourself or something that you are not satisfied with. This practice is designed to help you learn how to better communicate with your somatic self.

If generative change does happen to occur it will take place only as a by-product of high quality communication with your somatic self.

Most of the arguments to which I am a party fall somewhat short of being impressive, owing to the fact that neither I nor my opponent knows what we are talking about.
