\"Dad
Dad and the Fish!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hi, Hypno-Friends!<\/p>\n

I have a photograph of my dad on my desk.\u00a0 Here it is!\u00a0 I’m sharing it.\u00a0\u00a0This is my dad the day he caught a fish–and what a fish!– and won a salmon derby in Canada.\u00a0 That’s a 70+ pound salmon!!\u00a0 In my mind, it was the happiest moment of his life!<\/p>\n

Now, of course I didn’t know my dad his ENTIRE life, I showed up when he was around 30.\u00a0 But in my mind, it captures the essence of happy.\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 And, thanks to Kodak, it’s captured forever.\u00a0 This moment in time.\u00a0 Framed.\u00a0 On my desk.\u00a0 When I see it, I feel happy, too.<\/p>\n

Kodak is cool.\u00a0 Photography, allowing us to capture a moment in time visually, terrific.\u00a0 Well, we have something inside us that does even more than that.\u00a0 We have a wonderful ability to not just capture but recreate a moment in time as well.\u00a0 It’s called “memory.”\u00a0 And it’s not just visual.\u00a0 Not just a picture.\u00a0 It’s got the vibrancy of full-sensory LIFE.\u00a0 Re-LIVING.\u00a0 Our memories capture all of it, sensory rich full-bodied experiences, with movement, scent, taste, breath, energy, sound, emotion, thought, etc.\u00a0 It’s all in there.\u00a0 Captured in our minds and in our memories.<\/p>\n

Guess what?\u00a0 This is useful!!<\/p>\n

Thoughts are attached to feelings.\u00a0 Memory is attached to all of it.\u00a0 If my dad were still alive, and I asked him to remember that moment, \u00a0that day he caught “the fish” (as it’s known in family lore), he would re-experience all that emotion you see in the picture in his body now.\u00a0 Just as vividly and richly.\u00a0 He would “get happy.”\u00a0 Guess what?\u00a0 This is useful!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\u00a0Our unconscious minds (accessible more than we know) have stored the experience.\u00a0 We can capture it again via memory and use it NOW.<\/p>\n

One of the things I do for clients is create good feelings and capture them for specific contexts.\u00a0 In a problem situation, I ask them:\u00a0 “How would you rather feel?”\u00a0 We can do that.\u00a0 Capture and bring those good feelings to where they are useful.\u00a0 If it’s fear, bring calm.\u00a0 You can’t have both, fear and calm operating in your body at the same time.\u00a0 If it’s tension, bring relaxed.\u00a0 You can’t have both, tense and relaxed at the same time.\u00a0 If it’s sad, bring some happy.\u00a0 You can’t be both, sad and happy at the same time.\u00a0 As the old song goes:\u00a0 something’s gotta give!\u00a0 It’s the negative, unwanted feeling which goes.\u00a0 And the positive, desired feeling which stays.<\/p>\n

That’s NLP.\u00a0 Simple processes which make that happen.\u00a0 So fast!<\/p>\n

And when you change how you feel, you change how you think, and you change what you do.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Have you ever made soup “from scratch?”\u00a0 Adding\u00a0 and blending spices and seasonings, salt, pepper, oregano, what have you, and tasting, adding a little more of this, and tasting, a little more of that, and tasting, until it’s JUST RIGHT.\u00a0 Alchemy happens, the flavors meld and merge in the pot into something brand new, something perfectly delicious.\u00a0 Well, we can do the same thing with feelings.\u00a0 Create new ones.\u00a0 Good ones.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I do this with clients! \u00a0I’m a master chef and my spices are feelings, and I custom blend new, useful feelings for clients, feelings that advance them in new directions.\u00a0 We even give these new feelings new names.\u00a0 I’m often amused with the names my clients create for them.\u00a0 Two recent examples:\u00a0 girl’s resourceful new feeling a few days ago was called “Yay, me!” and man’s yesterday was “Quiet confidence with a smile.” I like both of those!!<\/p>\n

What’s really useful is bringing these designer, resourceful feelings into life to change things.\u00a0 That’s NLP.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple process and enormously powerful.\u00a0 To feel good, I mean.<\/p>\n

Finding out how to feel good in ways and places you want to feel good is really, really easy.\u00a0 Call me.<\/p>\n
