A problem is simply a frame of mind, a way of looking at things.\u00a0 If it’s not a problem to YOU, it’s not a problem.\u00a0 Think about flying on an airplane.\u00a0 After all the hustle\/bustle of travel arrangements, packing, airports, and etc. when I get on a plane, I settle into the seat and go:\u00a0 “ahhhhhhhhh.”\u00a0 Now it’s time to relax.\u00a0 No worries.\u00a0\u00a0 All I have to do is sit here and enjoy myself.\u00a0 Perhaps for someone else sitting down a few rows, \u00a0it’s churning turmoil inside, it’s white-knuckle time.\u00a0 It’s visions of disaster.\u00a0 It doesn’t have to be.\u00a0 You can change your mind.\u00a0 And experience life differently.\u00a0 Yes, about flying, and pretty much about ANYTHING!\u00a0 That’s what hypnosis can do!\u00a0 It’s called “reframing.”<\/p>\n

Perhaps you’re skeptical about those statements. \u00a0\u00a0Here’s a few recent examples of reframing from my life, for further illustration.<\/p>\n

I got caught up in the shopping frenzy last week.\u00a0 My husband and I were at the mall, and I found a shirt I loved.\u00a0 The color in particular was appealing to me.\u00a0 Hypnotists have an “inside joke” about the color purple being hypnotic, because one of the most famous and successful hypnotists in the world, Milton Erickson, was fond of wearing bright purple jumpsuits.\u00a0 Color analysis books describe purple as the dreamer color.<\/p>\n

I found a purple shirt.\u00a0 Not just any old purple, this was a rich, deep royal purple, a magically hypnotic jewel-tone purple.\u00a0 I was excited to find it, and on sale!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 As I was checking out at the department store, the clerk commented on the “grape” shirt.\u00a0 Grape?\u00a0 Yikes.\u00a0 I almost put it back.\u00a0 I don’t want a grape shirt, as that sounds utterly unappealing.\u00a0 Purple, yes.\u00a0 Grape, forget about it!\u00a0 One word flipped my state of mind about the shirt, and not in a good way.\u00a0 She reframed my shirt (negatively) and almost lost the sale.\u00a0 This is something we teach in our NLP for Sales <\/a>courses, how to reframe in a way that sells, not creates aversion.<\/p>\n

Here’s another example of reframing.\u00a0 This is a sign.<\/p>\n

\"Crosswalk<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps you’re familiar with it.\u00a0 It indicates a pedestrian crosswalk.\u00a0 It’s a stylized guy crossing the street.\u00a0 You can see that.<\/p>\n

Here is a sign I saw today in a parking garage.<\/p>\n

\"Pedestrian<\/a><\/p>\n

They’ve shifted the sign slightly, and the meaning massively.\u00a0 What it thinks it’s saying is “pedestrian crossing,” but what I see is a pedestrian falling, and flying through the air, obviously after being struck by a moving vehicle.\u00a0 Yikes, again!\u00a0 A different angle on the picture, and the whole meaning changes.\u00a0 That’s reframing.<\/p>\n

Here’s a classic example of reframing.\u00a0 Imagine a roaring fire in a fireplace.\u00a0 That elicits positive feelings, right?\u00a0 Cozy, nice, warm.\u00a0 Now, expand the picture’s parameter, and you see the house is on fire as well.\u00a0 Oh, no, run for your lives!\u00a0 Negative feelings.\u00a0 Now expand the picture further and you see it’s all a movie set and they’re only filming a controlled reproduction of a house fire.\u00a0 Positive feelings, again.\u00a0 A shift of frame changes everything.<\/p>\n

What makes this “reframing” process cool of course is changing things that are problems in your life to non-problems.\u00a0 Like the fear of flying.\u00a0 What if your experience of planes and flight became a frame of relaxation, like lounging on a tropical beach or sitting in your easy chair at home?\u00a0 Hypnosis can do that.<\/p>\n

Big secret: \u00a0\u00a0How we feel and how we respond to things and the thoughts\/frames we create around them:\u00a0 it’s all moveable furniture.\u00a0 Within our control.\u00a0 If you want to rearrange your mental furniture in a way that creates more beauty and ease \u00a0and success in your life, I can help.\u00a0 That is my gig.\u00a0 My passion.\u00a0 My joy.\u00a0 Come see me and we’ll reframe those problems out of existence.<\/p>\n

Warm Regards,
\nConnie<\/p>\n
