Sailing and Success

An excerpt from No-Fault Sales
I have two memorable experiences of sailing on Lake
Michigan. My initial sailing experience coincided with
my first bout of seasickness. Spending the day wistfully
staring at land and completely missing the company of
the people I was with, I only hoped they would decide
it was too dangerous to be out on the waves and head
for shore. Having observed many sales presentations, I
find that often the salesperson is either too debilitated
by fear to enjoy the company of the client or has been
scared so often in the past that he or she has put
together an automated or slick presentation. As a result,
any communication or pleasure with the customer
becomes impossible. I dont know the cause of my

Darbys Definite Difference
Darby has given me
permission to share
her experience with
NLP and hypnosis. Her
presenting problem
was fear of flying.
Because Darby had a
long-time interest in holistic health and holistic medicine,
she opted for hypnotherapy rather than one of the
standard medical or psychotherapeutic approaches to
eliminating fears and anxieties.
Current medical approaches to reducing fears usually
include a combination of drugs, such as Xanax or Valium,
and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT). Drugs can be
addictive, and they dont really do anything to address
the underlying problem. Even when referring to how the
results from CBT can be speedy, practitioners admit that
it takes several weeks or months of hour-long sessions
to reduce phobias and similar fears to acceptable levels
[Get Over Your Fears by Facing Them, by Maureen
Farrell, Forbes, October 26, 2007].
A great deal of research effort is being expended
looking into increasingly complex ways of helping
people get over fears, including Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder, from fMRI efforts to locate regions of the brain
being affected, to video games designed to desensitize
individuals to traumatic events, and injecting anesthesia
directly into the brain, according to Elizabeth Phelps,
professor of psychology at New York University doing
pioneer research on the amygdala [New Research
Hopes to Rid Brain of Anxiety, by Susan Donaldson
James, ABC News Internet Ventures, March 25, 2010]. So
far, at least, theyve only tried this with goldfish, but who
knows whats next?
One of the least known facts about Neurolinguistic
Programming (NLP) is that basic NLP techniques
produce faster and more permanent relief from fear-
based emotionsincluding anxiety, phobias, panic
attacks, and episodes of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD)than either Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR) or Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT).
In a number of clinical studies, both EMDR and EFT
have proven more effective than medication or common
cognitive behavioral treatments (CBT) at reducing the
severity of self-reported symptoms (primarily anxiety and
depression). What has not been well-reported is that
NLP techniques, most notably the Fast Phobia Cure
developed by Richard Bandler in 1976, out-performs
both EMDR and EFT in providing quick and lasting relief
from anxiety, phobias, and PTSD. (The Fast Phobia Cure
702-456-3267 Fax 702-436-3267 www.abh-abnlp.com
By Debra Basham
was introduced in Using Your Brain for a Change, by
Richard Bandler, in 1985, (pp.43-48).)
How They Work
EMDR and EFT are similar in the way they work. EMDR
employs a series of hand passes in front of the clients
eyes while he or she is thinking about the problem
or source of the distress. EFT uses tapping in a set
sequence of locations on the clients body while he
or she is thinking about the problem or the source
of distress. Although EMDR uses the visual sensory
system and EFT uses the kinesthetic sensory system,
both employ cross-body connections to activate both
hemispheres of the brain. This activation provides the
client with access to behavioral and emotional resources
that enhance coping skills.
The NLP Fast Phobia Cure does the same thing but in a
different way. The Fast Phobia Cure beings with what is
known as a Visual-Kinesthetic dissociation, which allows
the client to objectify and gain psychological distance
from the source of the anxiety, phobia, or trauma. The
procedure then uses a process of reverse reassociation
to undo the emotional charge that had been associated
with the phobic item or trauma.
Principal Differences
The main differences among traditional pharmaceutical,
CBT, EMDR, EFT, and NLP are the time it takes to
alleviate a clients fear-based response. According to
most reports, the differences are as follows:
Pharmaceuticals and CBT: Numerous sessions over 6
months to a year or more. Those undergoing these
treatments also experience much less likelihood of
improvement. The most recent efforts to employ
this approach are now using realistic video games to
speed the process of exposure for war veterans who
have experienced PTSD.
EMDR: Several applications during several sessions
over several weeks. EMDR often produces significant
change quickly, but the symptoms return, so several
treatment sessions are required.
EFT: Several applications during several sessions
over several weeks. EFT often produces significant
change quickly, but the symptoms return, so several
treatment sessions are required.
NLP: One application in one session lasting
approximately 20 - 30 minutes. The alleviation of
symptoms is permanent.

(Continued on page 4)
 What Makes NLP Different
Although EMDR, EFT, and NLP all induce a degree of
hypnotic trance, the NLP procedure is the only one of
the three to use specific hypnotic language to influence
the way in which the client reinterprets the phobic or
traumatic event. Most NLP practitioners also incorporate
a kind of stimulus-response conditioning known as
anchoring to help ensure that the client accesses
appropriate resources and retains access to them
following the session.
In spite of its proven record of therapeutic success, NLP
is usually not considered the protocol of choice when it
comes to treating anxieties, phobias, and PTSD. Even
when physicians and psychotherapists know about NLP,
they are typically unaware of its history of therapeutic
success and stick to what they consider tried and true
treatment protocols. Well-meaning as that approach
may be, it condemns clients to an extended period
of suffering while they attempt to overcome their
difficulties.
One of our dreams and desires is to have at least
one practitioner in every medical and psychotherapy
practice be trained in NLP so that those with anxieties,
phobias, and PTSD can recover more quickly, easily, and
comfortably than most current methodologies allow.
We are grateful to be moving in that direction as more
people become interested in learning more about
the Mind-Body connection. Small changes really can
produce infinite results.
One of the reasons the Fast Phobia Cure is so effective
is that it uses covert hypnosis, inducing trance through
the process of fractionating. The client goes inside to
follow directions, and then comes out and reports. This is
repeated several times.
Of the different types of anxiety disorders, phobias
are the most common. According to the American
Psychiatric Association, 7.8% of American adults suffer
from a phobia. Phobias and anxieties involve an intense
fear response to something which actually presents
little or no threat. A phobic reaction can be present just
looking at a photo or speaking of the trigger.
Phobia statistics indicate that approximately 1 in 20
suffer from phobias. Nearly 4.25% of the population
suffers from phobiasthat means almost 6.2 million US
citizens has some sort of specific phobia. Phobias are
reportedly the most common psychological disorder
among women and the second most common disorder
among men over 25 years of age.
Approximately 1.9 million people have specific phobias,
such as crossing bridges or going through tunnels.
Actually, according to the Anxiety Disorders Association
of America, 19 million people have specific phobias, such
as fear of spiders; 15 million have what is considered a
social phobia, as in the case of fear of public speaking;
and 2 million suffer from agoraphobia.
Arachnophobia is the most common phobia and can
range from not being comfortable with spiders, to being
terrified even to look at a photo and to having physical
stress reactions just to be asked to think about one
4 being in the room. Almost 50 % of all females and 10
percent of males admit to being afraid of spiders.
With traditional therapy it can be very expensive
and time consuming to eliminate a phobia, such as
claustrophobia. The Claustrophobia Clinic at the CTRN
Phobia Clinic reports the price for their program
typically runs from $2495.00 and up! And their process
usually requires approximately ten hours of treatment.
Studies report the efficacy of the NLP Fast Phobia Cure,
which can usually be done in less than 30 minutes and
for the cost of one session, which is typically about $100.
Using the NLP Fast Phobia Cure, snake phobias can
be cleared in about ten minutes. See An Investigation
of the
Effectiveness of
Neurolinguistic
Programming
Procedures in
treating Snake
Phobias (in
Dissertation
Abstracts
International
43,861B) 1982.
NLP was
found to be
superior to the
desensitization
regimes, and it
is done in just
10 minutes.
Traditional therapy postures that discussing and
processing their feelings helps people who have
suffered or witnessed a trauma lessen the negative
impact. According to Get Shrunk at Your Own Risk, by
Sharon Begley, (Newsweek, June 18, 2007), many of
those who undergo stress debriefing develop worse
symptoms.
The Fast Phobia Cure is based on the NLP model of
dissociation so you can release the trauma without
additional escalation of painful emotions. Because the
intervention is based on how the memory is stored, some
interventions can be done content free, meaning
without your having to say what the phobia is of.
The avoidance of medical care due to needle phobia
has dangerous implications. Fortunately, you can be
comfortable because with NLP phobias can easily be
cleared.
Glossophobia is the official term describing a person
who has a fear of public speaking, and is considered a
social construction rather than a natural phenomenon
like fear of falling or fear of loud noises. It is the fear of
the fear that NLP Fast Phobia Cure will alleviate.
The NLP Fast Phobia Cure relieves trauma and anxieties
as well as phobias. Unlike other psychological and
medical approaches, NLP is designed to eliminate most
common psychological disorders, including trauma,
anxiety, and phobias in a single session.
But dont take my word for it. Let someone who has
experienced the benefit of the NLP Fast Phobia Cure
share with you how quickly and easily you can get your
life back again.

 Darbys Story - Now I Can Fly
Over the past 20 years, Ive experienced fears around flying. Specifically, I havent liked the feeling of being
confined to an enclosed space . . . its a claustrophobia feeling, I know. Once I was in the plane, whether in the air,
or sitting on the tarmac with the hatch closed, it was easy for me to slide into a panic attack. I relied on all sorts of
creature comforts to distract me: portable DVD player, iPod shuffle, books, deck of cards with a family member to
play and keep me company.
I just wouldnt fly unless I absolutely had to (e.g. if I was totally overruled by family at a time when we had to travel a
large expanse). I would have rather driven the long distance.
In the summer of 2009, I became aware of an incredible to attend the World Conference on Love, Forgiveness, and
Compassion. The Dalai Lama and Arch Bishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu would be receiving awards. The event was
taking place mid September, but it meant I would have to travel to Vancouver, British Columbia.
My husband, Bruce, would depart days earlier. This meant that I would not only be flying a great distance, but
potentially flying alone.
Id met Debra Basham some months earlier and I recalled that she worked with people to overcome their phobias. I
was desperate for help.
This fear had not only kept me from comfortable travel, but had reduced options of connection to family and close
friends. As our three daughters travel on school and youth group related trips, Id, unfortunately, been bound by my
fear and consequently, remained at home.
I met with Debra and Joel Bowman early in September. After we became better acquainted, the actual intervention
was no longer than about 30 minutes, and consisted of the Fast Phobia Cure, a standard NLP technique. Debra
explained that the Fast Phobia Cure uses Ericksonian hypnosis and was originally developed by Richard Bandler and
John Grinder as a way to use hypnosis without inducing a formal trance. When the session was over, they wanted to
know if I thought the treatment helpful and if I thought things would have changed for me now. My response was,
Ill see.
A week later I flew to Vancouver. Thankfully some friends of ours were accompanying me. During one of the flights,
we sat on the tarmac for an hour. I was fine. The flight from Detroit to Seattle was 2 hours long. Throughout
the flight, I was fine. On the flight home, I sat with Bruce, and Im happy to report that all flights were emotionally
uneventful.
Since then, our family has flown to North Carolina to gather with family for Christmas. All those flights were
comfortable as well. In February, I was entertaining the idea of visiting a close friend in Marquette. With
unpredictable weather and winter road conditions, driving was contraindicated. That meant a flight. I contacted
Debra and Joel and requested a Booster. They again spent not more than about 30 minutes with me.
The following week I flew to Marquette, on a small plane from home to Detroit and another one from Detroit to
Marquette . . . roughly 1 hours in tight quarters. I was fine!
Between the hypnotherapy/NLP sessions and a few self-help techniques that I learned from Debra and Joel, I was
equipped and empowered to face (and move beyond) a previously life-limiting fear.
I have a new friend who lives in South Africa. She wants me to visit. While I still dont relish the idea of being in
a plane for multiple hours, Im now open to the possibility. My plan is to continue to challenge myself until I can
eventually travel overseas.
Working with Debra and Joel has removed a barricaded door in my mind. Now Im living a freer, happier, more
actualized life as a result.

The Fast Phobia Cure is a major attraction at health
fairs. If a persons fears centered on something that
has potential for harm (heights, snakes, spiders, bees,
etc.) we always build in appropriate caution, and if a
person was on anti-anxiety medications, we make sure
he or she knows to avoid serious problems by receiving
appropriate medical supervision for getting off them.

Success Story
Every time we conduct an NLP and Time Line Therapy
training, we are so moved and blown away by the
amazing changes that our students experience. We find
that around Day 4 of the 7 Day Practitioner course, our
students really breakthrough the boundaries that were
holding them back and really begin moving to a new
way of thinking. What is even more incredible is the
successes they continue to experience once they leave
the training room. To know that our graduates are out
there helping others to change their world for the better
is priceless and keeps us motivated to train and help
more and more people to embrace the changes that
these amazing techniques can bring.
Wed like to share with you a story about one of our
graduates who touched our hearts during the training
and still continues to do so as she helps people around
her make the changes they need to design the future
they want.
Sue from Armidale, NSW Australia was diagnosed with
psychotic depression, melancholia and anxiety panic
disorder and had been on medication for about 20
years. She had spent a significant amount of money
searching for a way to let go of these issues that were
preventing her from achieving the success she wanted.
Sue wasnt living a fulfilled life. In fact she told us that
she reached the lowest point of her life and desperately
After the training, Sue wrote to us and said, I have now
decided I want to share the gift you and Jonathon have
taught me THANK YOU THANK YOU. Sue is now off
her medication and is working with women and teaching
them how to let go of depression and anxiety using
Time Line Therapy , NLP and Hypnosis techniques.
The local paper in Armidale published an article on
Sues personal breakthrough and her results working
with other women facing similar problems. Sue told us
her phone hasnt stopped ringing since the article and
she is loving herself and her successes. Sue is coming
along to our Master Practitioner course in October 2010
to continue her journey.
As Trainers of Time Line Therapy , NLP, Coaching and
Hypnosis, we are honoured to be part of her journey to
success.

wanted to find a solution. Sue attended our NLP
Practitioner training course in 2009 and experienced
an amazing breakthrough during the week. After she
had completed the Time Line Therapy portion of the
training, she approached us and asked if she could

Embracing the Past Through Remembrance
Is there a future in exploring the past?
The history of each soul-the cumulative total lives
spanning many centuries-is recorded in the persons
subconscious mind. Many of us have no conscious
memories of such past events: yet, the associated
emotions, talents, and behaviors have a direct and
profound effect on our lives. Gaining access to those
records can be the adventure of a lifetime! We talk about
the mysteries of the mind but only a few people get
involved with the investigation.
Some people are skeptical of the concept of past lives
and of the influence that past events have in the current
life of the individual. They seek empirical evidence.
Trying to prove through the senses or by logic the
authenticity of past lives is like trying to prove the
existence of love. Most people will agree that love exists:
yet, they cannot explain the feeling of love for another
person-they cannot identify which of the five senses
can be used as evidence. Although you might not be
able to prove the existence of love, you still continue to
experience it. Perhaps it is not necessary to prove love
in order to share its benefits. It is the experience, not
the proof, which is important. Generally, when someone
asks you to prove your love, you tend to think in terms of
physical acts you could perform for that person. Those
two notions are unrelated. You can do something good
for a person without having much genuine love. Past-life
memory, like love, is an experience to be enjoyed and to
be embraced for growth and spiritual development.
Critics question whether the retrieving of past life
memories is authentic. The names, places, and dates
could have been recalled from existing records which
had been heard or read and then forgotten by the
conscious mind in the current life. They also add that so-
called memories come from the imagination or fantasy.
In some instances, that opinion might be accurate;
however, the reports of so many people who believe
that their recollections must have come from past lives
have led therapists and researchers to accept the idea
that we have had many lifetimes on earth. Events can be
authentic without being recalled at will. One reason for
the belief in the theory of past lives is the need to learn
the multiple lessons on the journey toward wholeness.
Some traditional therapists find the idea of past-life
regression to be too implausible or radical to warrant
attention. Others hold the position that people have
only one chance to succeed but, nonetheless, accept
their clients beliefs in the continuity of life. Another
group acknowledges the concept that we live multiple
lives and that earth serves as a school with progressive
experiences and credits. Members of this latter group
702-456-3267 Fax 702-436-3267 www.abh-abnlp.com
By Henry Leo Bolduc with
Marjorie Reynolds
who practice past-life are called Regressionists or
Regression Therapists. Among the three groups of
therapists there is a difference in focus regarding the
embracing of new ideas about the way we perceive
existence ant the complexity of mind.
One interesting criticism regarding the acceptance of
past lives: too many people assert that they have had
previous existences as famous people. In our many
combined years of active regression and past life
exploration, we have not had a client report being a
person who was famous. Regression therapy generally
reveals people doing everyday activities, living lives
which are normal for the times, and reporting or re-living
emotional experiences related to the development of
their personal and spiritual lives.
Perhaps we have unknowingly met such celebrated
personalities. For us, when a client is guided on a journey
into the unconscious mind, the therapeutic purpose-
and the clients purpose-goes far beyond the curiosity
of who, where, and when. We, and other regressionists,
tend to focus on what the individual accomplished at the
soul level-whether there was spiritual gain or loss in a
particular lifetime. In Past-Life Regression, the therapist
usually asks a non leading question and allows the client
to respond from the unconscious mind. Often, the name,
date, and place are not requested and not volunteered.
Since the information the client shares usually is tied to
strong emotions, it is not wise to break the continuity of
images and impressions to obtain other personal data.
7
(Continued on page 8

Some examples of spiritually focused questions are:
How did you gain and grow in that life?
How did you lose or what could you have done better?
What caused the most sadness and hurt?
What brought you the greatest happiness and
fulfillment?
What did you learn or experience in that life that you
could bring back with you to help you in your current
life?
The past-life record of who you were on the inside-you
individuality-is much more important than who you
appeared to be on the outside. By analogy, if you dress
in a costume for a Halloween party, do you become the
person whose type of outfit you are wearing? Of course
not! The outer grab creates an illusion. On the inside,
you are yourself. The actor, too, portraying a role for a
specific amount of time, maintains personal integrity.
Your outward appearance in a past life is of minor
importance.
The true value of knowledge of past lives is in the
lessons you have learned. Your souls memory is your
true wisdom. How well did you serve humanity? How
close did you come to fulfilling the purpose for which
you came to earth? Did you work to bring yourself and
others closer to God? The above questions, significant in
understanding how you learned and what you learned,
seem to be more important than the data of who, where,
and when. The progress of the soul toward atonement
with God is the measuring rod by which we view a
lifetime.
Bringing your personal record to conscious awareness
adds a significant chapter in the history of humanity.
Each life contains sections of splendor and tales of
travail. There are page of wonder and growth and there
8 are episodes of loss. Such experiences are natural
components of the cosmic drama called life. Regression
exercises are gifts to refresh your memory. They are like
pieces of a complex puzzle that you fit together, carefully
and patiently, to view a full panorama of your soul.
Regression work is a process rather than a product.
In past-life regression, we explore the mysteries of the
inner self, the subconscious mind, where the souls
history is recorded. Most people are apprehensive
about embarking on this journey without a guide, a
regressionist, who understands the science of exploring
and who has studied the mysteries of the human mind.
The client is an investigator who makes use of the skills
of a guide. As an analogy, a rock hound who is going
to do significant collecting of some minerals would hire
a guide who has a map and who knows the territory.
Without a guide, an inexperienced person could spend
many hours, days, or weeks without much success.
Eventually, of course, it becomes easier to recognize
the indicators for locating the minerals you are seeking;
similarly, the art/science of exploring soul memories is
assisted by the services of a guide until the seeker learns
the ways of recognizing which path is best for spiritual
growth.
To use another analogy, the work of a regressionist
is like that of an archaeologist who studies the sites
and artifacts of prehistoric people. Regressionists are
archaeologists who dig through the strata and substrata
of memory. They help the client to sift through the
emotional, mental, and spiritual pot shards, to identify
them, and to assemble them into a mosaic. The client
is able to recognize a similar pattern in the current
life and can begin to understand why life is the way
it is. Understanding the past builds wisdom, wisdom
builds trust, and trust conquers fear. The recalling and
processing of such events, along with insights from the
current perspective, can have a profound impact on the
desire to improve life.
Past-life therapy is rapidly-evolving and dynamic field.
It embraces many disciplines, both traditional and
innovative. Many hypnotist, psychologists, counselors,
and holistic healers have added past-life therapy to their
practices.
Two of the most important hallmarks of a true profession
are the establishment of a set of ethical standards and
the recognition of practitioners who have met those
standards through an objective evaluation process. The
field of Past-Life Therapy has reached a new level of
recognition-Certification. International Certification, a
mark of professionalism, is available in this therapeutic
profession.
In the Western world, the subconscious mind has been
a seldom-explored area for centuries. Although, in
recent years, much has been accomplished, it is not a
final frontier. It is, however, a vast, new world: Mind, the
pathway through time, is limitless and contains episodes
where we failed to make adequate progress. It also
contains our triumphs. By embracing the past through
remembrance, we acknowledge our mistakes, learn
to cultivate forgiveness, and proceed on the path to
spiritual betterment and enlightenment.

Self Hypnosis for Holistic Healing
The process of holistic self-hypnosis involves relaxation
and a guided process for engaging the unconscious or
inner mind to provide information and guidance and
to produce positive changes. Holistic self-hypnosis
integrates several dimensions of perception, not only the
physical senses such as visual, auditory and kinesthetic,
but spontaneous transpersonal feelings and experiences.
This dynamic process transforms the goal of hypnosis to
embrace each individual as a whole person, rather than
the smoker, dieter, insomniac, or victim. at what they are processing. Even with their eyes closed,
The subconscious mind controls all bodily functions,
harbors all memories and causes us to act out those
ideas, thoughts, or images that are transformed into
conviction through imagination and belief. Hypnosis
facilitates access to the constructive use of imagination
and enables us to build a better reality. In this way,
hypnosis becomes magnificent inner adventure for self-
healing. It opens a pathway for guidance toward optimal
physical health, mental well-being, emotional fulfillment,
financial balance and spiritual harmony. Since improving
the state of the whole self is the goal of hypnosis as
discussed in this article, the term holistic is justifiably
applied to the approach detailed below.
Many people assume that pretending is something
childish, phony, or undesirable. In truth, pretending
is a valuable process of creation. Words and phrases
like constructive imagination, positive thinking,
visualization, and faith may be used as an alternate
way of presenting the idea of pretending. When we
pretend that something will happen, what we pretend
has a far better chance of manifesting than when
we dont imagine anything at all. The mind is the

builder. If we pretend or imagine that something is
already accomplished, the inner mind perceives it as
accomplished, and we tend to respond accordingly.
The concept that we first envision is not new: create a
dominant thought and then manifest our own destiny.
The self-help approach that brought many people to
the hypnotherapy field initially can be viewed holistically
a much larger context. This wider context. This wider
context consists of four distinct elements; definition,
application, healing, and contentment. Definition is the
personal process of intimate self-assessment that defines
reality for the individual. Application is the means to
manifesting the definition. Healing is the result of this
process and can be physical, spiritual, mental, emotional,
or financial. Contentment is the acceptance, with inner
peace and satisfaction, of the process by the individual.
Educational research, after examining the learning
process, defined multiple intelligence theories that
delineate various styles in which individuals experience,
comprehend, and retain information. In other words,
each person learns and develops in unique ways. Some
generalizations can be drawn from intelligence potential,
learning modes, patterns, or styles. Individuals who
thrive in interpersonal relationships and social activities
for learning may be described as the interpersonal
or social learners. Others find value in time spent in
quiet contemplation and deep thought. Those are the
intrapersonal learners. They are willing to sleep on it
before accepting a reality. Those learners are often avid
dreamers and regular mediators. They need to go within
to make decisions.
People who learn visually like to see things or to look
the visual learner can see pictures and scenes via the
image center of the mind. The process of recording,
storing, and playing-back visual impressions is easy for
them. People who learn primarily through the auditory
style hear things externally like listening to a speaker. In
essence, they listen to their inner voices. Those people
tend to enjoy music, excel at foreign languages, and
memorize easily. They can record, store, and play-back
words, stories and sounds. Kinesthetic learners are the
hands-on people. They learn through doing. They are
in touch with life, putting things together and making
them work. Kinesthetic learners often display strong
emotions. Those are just a few examples of intelligence
potentials. Some individuals integrate all of those
styles depending upon the circumstances. Others rely
primarily on one, but are secondarily influenced by some
combination of the other styles.
The wonderful discoveries afforded through the journey
of holistic self-hypnosis may be expressed through the
various intelligence potentials. Visually oriented travelers
often keep a written journal or they document their 9
holistic adventure through drawings or other creative
(Continued on page 10)
 art forms. Interpersonal learners prefer to participate
in discussion groups to share their discoveries.
Interpersonal learners create personal spaces in their
homes for meditation or dedicate places in natural
settings to contemplate their new holistic realities.
Kinesthetic learners create a dance or ritual movements
to express commitment and dedication to the holistic
process. All learners can combine and develop a means
of expressing their journeys and their healings.
Those who wish to experience the holistic self-hypnosis
journey may want to keep in mind that trust is the key
to the door of the higher mind and appreciation makes
opening the door easier. An attitude of thankfulness for
all that is received will contribute to and is essential for
growth and fulfillment on the journey along the pathways
of life.
In holistic self-hypnosis, the individual perceptions,
thoughts, dreams, and awareness of the person blend
together. They become integrated harmoniously,
synergistically creating a single Self greater than the
various parts. The physical is seen as happy, healthy,
vibrant, and radiant. The emotional is peaceful, thankful,
and willing to give and to receive
love. The financial has witnessed Holistic self-hypnosis

provides guidance a familiar
pathway to heal the various parts of the individual-
forming the whole Self.
In the following script, the inner mind is engaged for a
dual purpose. First, imagination is employed to manifest
positive outcomes in the areas of physical health,
emotional fulfillment, financial balance, and spiritual
harmony. Second, the profound depth and wisdom of
the inner mind is tapped for inspiration and information
to maximize the use of those talents that will be most
helpful in healing all areas of life. Repeated use of the
self-hypnosis approach will integrate the various parts of
life and heal the whole person.
To begin this inner journey, position yourself so that
you will be comfortable for a few minutes and will be
able easily to keep pen or pencil on paper and write or
draw at the appropriate limes. Even though you will be
completely relaxed, you easily will open your eyes just
wide enough to see and, when prompted, record your
thoughts or describe your feelings. When prompted,
write or draw whatever comes to mind, trusting your
senses and accepting the first feelings, pictures or words
that appear.
Close your eyes now and take several deep breaths,
breathing in through your nose and out through your
mouth. Allow the tension to begin to leave your body
10 with each exhalation. Begin to move to a place of
deep relaxation. As you begin to breathe deeply and
naturally now, realize that healing is more than a goal:
it is a journey itself. Experiencing the journey will take
you beyond thinking to experiencing and embracing all
levels of your being. Allow yourself now to open to this
important work. Remember a time when you really felt
safe and comfortable. Bring back from your memory,
the sensations associated with that time. Remember the
place and the circumstances in full detail. Become aware
of the sounds, colors, textures, and feelings associated
with complete safety and harmony. With your eyes
closed, feel completely relaxed and comfortable.
When you are relaxed and comfortable, do you allow
yourself to dream or daydream? Can you imagine
yourself entering your dream? Allow images, sounds and
feelings to come to you and take you lightly into your
very being-feeling your connection with your self-your
higher self-your higher mind.
Allow yourself to notice a tiny light within you as you are
in this safe place. Notice how this light becomes brighter
and brighter as it expands to encompass your entire
being Perhaps the light has colors within it. Maybe it is
pure white. It might even pulsate in living rays of light
and wonder. The light may extend beyond your physical
body. This is the light of your true
self. The divine light of your being.
The light allows you to imagine,
to learn and to grow in many new
ways. The light illuminates you
and opens the possibility for new
discoveries and insights.
This light that now surrounds
your very being allows you to
imagine and to learn. Imagine yourself giving your mind
a positive picture about an aspect of your life. Can you
anticipate that what you planted and when our where it
was or for what reason, realize and appreciate the eternal
truth that you can use your mind to improve your life by
creatively sensing the way your life will improve.
You also can feel your connection with the light of your
higher mind your higher self. You can sense your inner
wisdom and learn from that wisdom. You can begin by
comparing your mind to the surface of a quiet pond. My
voice is like a gentle breeze whispering in the trees along
the shore. The pond remains quiet and still even though
there is activity beneath the surface. Often, there is much
happening beneath a still surface. The gentle surface
conceals extraordinary depth-the depth of your inner
wisdom.
As you continue to drift deeper and deeper relaxed
now, bathed in the divine light of your being, see
yourself leisurely descending a set of stairs covered
with a thick, white carpet that is like a cloud beneath
your feet. Perhaps there is a brass handrail or a walnut
banister. The stairs lead you to a comfortable room, a
very safe place. While you are in that room, the outside
world will stay outside. You can rest a minute and
become aware of just how good you feel-free from all
of the realities of the outside world and bathed in your
divine light.
(Continued on page 11)
You are free to do whatever you wish to do at
this time. You may wish to allow your conscious
mind to drift. You dont even have to make the
effort to listen to my voice. It isnt important
what your conscious mind does now because
your unconscious mind is here with me and it
hears me and can respond in its own time and
its own way. At this time, you go to whatever
level of relaxation your unconscious mind
wants you to go to in order to do the work you
are going to do now.
Imagine yourself giving your mind a positive
picture. In your creative imagination, sense
yourself as having a powerful and creative
mind. Realize that you can use your mind to
create a better life in a fashion similar to a
light shining through a motion picture film
onto a screen. Allow a scene to come into
focus. Witness yourself nourishing your mind. Imagine
that you enjoy mental well-being and complete peace
of mind. Now, ask to connect with your higher mind. Ask
your higher mind to convey to you how you can utilize
the higher mind to create the kind of life you want. Just
write or sketch whatever you receive or perceive. Trust
the thoughts, feelings or pictures that first come. (Pause
for two minutes.) Now, rest your hand and rest your eyes.
Relax and breathe naturally.
Now, imagine how important your body is to your
physical health. Observe how the body enjoys fresh air,
pure water, exercise, healthy foods, proper elimination,
cleansing of pores, massage, or skeletal alignments.
Imagine a healthy Lifestyle, receiving nutrition for
strength, rest, and deep, restful sleep. Look forward to
your exercising to gain vitality and taking a sauna or
steam bath to cleanse the skin. Sense yourself enjoying
nature. Imagine yourself energetic and vital. View
yourself as healthy, happy, and enjoying life to its fullest.
Create a mental picture of rejuvenation: look younger
with sparkling eyes and shiny hair, feel younger. Now ask
to connect with your physical body. What does our inner
healer say or convey to you? What guidance, feelings,
or impressions are given to you? Make a note of the
information. Write or sketch whatever you receive or
perceive. Trust the thoughts, feelings or pictures that firs
come. (Pause for two minutes.) Now rest your hand and
rest your eyes. Relax and breathe naturally.
In your constructive imagination, look forward to living in
emotional balance and healing. For instance, if you were
ever hurt or angry, can you sense yourself learning to use
that hurt or anger as motivation for change? Transform
yourself to forgive others and to forgive yourself.
Recognize emotional intelligence as clear vision for your
social and family life. In you minds eye, observe yourself
as emotionally fulfilled and happy, you give and receive
love and affection. You offer support and you receive
it. This scene comes easily and is surrounded in light
and pleasure. Now ask to connect to your emotional
being. Open to the thoughts, feelings, or impressions
of your emotional life. Ask what you can do each day for
702-456-3267 Fax 702-436-3267 www.abh-abnlp.com
emotional healing balance, and fulfillment. Make a note
of this information. Write or sketch whatever you receive
or perceive. Trust the thoughts, feelings or pictures that
first come. (Pause for two minutes.) Now rest your hand
and rest your eyes. Relax and breathe naturally.
Can you sense the connection between your finances
and your mental, physical and emotional wellbeing?
Imagine yourself living within your income. See yourself
budgeting time and money as valuable resources and
notice how this improves your overall picture of life.
Sense yourself living generously within guidelines of
simplicity and financial intelligence. Imagine yourself
deciding what you really want to do with your life. Create
a clear picture in your minds eye of financial balance
and economic healing. Sense yourself liking your work
and producing a healthy income. Make the vision real.
Envision yourself contributing fairly and generously to
others. You may give of your time, your knowledge,
and your prayers. Now ask to connect to inner financial
advisor. What guidance, counsel, or information can
be given to you at this time. Ask your inner accountant
for impressions or information. Make a note of the
information. Write or sketch whatever you receive or
perceive. Trust the thoughts, feelings or pictures that first
come. (Pause for two minutes.) Now rest your hand and
rest you eyes. Relax and breathe naturally.
Now sense how you are connected with God and see
Gods role in your daily life. Imagine your life as your
religion and your temple. Affirm that how you live your
life each day reveals who and what your really are. Focus
your attention inward to your soulful place of deep
imagination. Sense yourself living a spiritual life. Make
it joyful and active and place yourself prominently at it
center. Now create a new impression an impression
that nourishes your soul, illuminating you with happiness
and fulfillment. Imagine that it is already true. You are
spiritually centered. You live a life full of purpose a life
of service to God and to humanity. Now ask to connect
with the highest source of your being with the creative
source of life. What is the highest guidance, wisdom, or 11
counsel that you can be given at this time? What can you
(Continued on page 13)
 (Continued from page 2)
can discover where the front of the boat is pointed
and where you want to go, but you will not discover
much about your progress. You determine where you
have been and your direction by observing the past.
To sail effectively, you must know your destination and
the direction you are going. You must be willing to
experiment and learn from experience. Be present in the
moment-enjoying and playing with the boat-while also
having enough awareness of the weather and the future
to determine where you will end up.
In sales, determine at each moment how what you are
doing will appear in retrospect. Morality in sales is always
determined by your direction and destination. The
moment will be morally lost without these references.
Salespeople who dont use their direction as a guide
often mislead or lie to clients when they are interested in
making sales or getting commissions. A salesperson too
intent on the future misses the pleasure and delight of
the sale at the moment it takes place.
One of my past employers gave us the following one
question quiz: When do you know the sale is made?
His answer, based on an adversarial short-term model
of sales, was When you have the cash in hand
(destination). In no-fault sales, you play during the sale
process, focusing your attention on the client rater than
on the climax. The outcome is not what determines the
success of a sale. The essence of a sale is a request and
a promise. A sale can end with a no (a promise not to
buy) or a yes (a promise to buy). The point of selling is
much larger than getting the cash in hand. The person
who wins a sail boat race and does not enjoy the sailing
itself is missing the boat and probably doesnt even
know it. We are constantly attempting to discover how
good we are and constantly afraid that we may discover
how bad we are. We are too quick to judge ourselves by
any yardstick we can find-no matter how inappropriate or
inaccurate it is.
In sailing, it is obvious which boat is ahead: it is not
obvious which boat is traveling fastest at any given
moment. Movement is all-important in sailing, in sales
and in life. In a sailboat race there is a declared end: in
sales and in life there is only one end, and that is final.
In sales you can make up intermediate ends (goals)
- a quarter, a year or a particular quota period. It is
important to remember that these ends do no indicate
12
movement: they simply indicate what position you are in
at a particular point in time. In sailing you can be moving
much faster than a boat ahead of you, yet the relative
difference between your speeds results in it taking a long
time for you to catch up. You can also be traveling more
slowly than someone else, and difference in your speeds
only becomes apparent over time.
In sales, you will probably have a tendency to judge
yourself. Please keep in mind that everything is relative.
Where you are is not usually as easy to influence as
how fast you are moving. The judgments you make
about how you are doing in the time frames you set as
intermediate ends will have a lot to do with how much
you learn from and enjoy the moment.
I have worked with salespeople who were so intent on
closing the transaction that they were willing to say or
do anything to that end. These people often burned
out and did not enjoy the pre-burnout flash. They had
no long term destination or any awareness of their
overall direction. I have also worked with salespeople
who would never compromise on anything and were
much more interested in being right than in serving their
clients. These salespeople were typically disappointed,
but it was always someone elses fault that they were
not selling. The client became an obstacle to overcome.
These salespeople would often be fired for not making
their quotas.
Some salespeople are just plain too scared and afraid to
play the game of sales. They usually spend a short time
being very upset, and then quit.
A few salespeople who genuinely enjoy the game of
sales and the game of life thrive on uncertainty and
insecurity. They have an awareness of their direction
and their long term goals (declarations). Acting
in accordance with their direction and their goals
without compromising themselves, these people
have a tendency to move between jobs until they
find a management that will support their standards
while selling a product that serves some useful needs
(declarations) made by a large group of clients. No-fault
salespeople have a good time and make good money.
Sail while you are sailing, sell while you sell, be becalmed
while you are becalmed. Whether or not you make a
particular sale is less relevant than the long term end, the
present activities and the overall direction. No-fault sales
people are always successful, happy and healthy.
(Continued from page 11)
do on a daily basis to nourish your soul, to be fully vital and happy? Make a note of the information. Write or sketch whatever
you receive or perceive. Trust the thoughts, feelings, or pictures that first come. (Pause for two minutes.) Now rest your hand
rest your eyes. Relax and breathe naturally.
Ask the various aspects of your being to work together in a meaningful whole. By working together, the parts create harmony,
a oneness that is greater than the various parts. Ask for receive a few words or a short sentence that encapsulates this
oneness, this healing at all levels of your being. Now write or print those words. (Pause for one minute.)
Allow yourself to enjoy all that you have accomplished. Thank your mind, your body, your emotions, your financial advisor and
your spiritual guidance. Allow healing to occur each day and at every level of your being. When you are ready, slowly come
back to a fully alert state. Open your eyes and smile. Physically stretch you have stretched. You have embraced a new level
of thinking, healing, and holistic living. You are fully alert now and completely refreshed. Set aside your writings and sketches
for a few days or weeks before reading and examining them. Later, when you examine them, realize that they are sacred gifts
from your inner mind and your higher self.
The goal of holistic self-hypnosis is to involve the whole self in the creation of a wellness partnership that can lead to
physical, mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual harmony. This approach enables us to integrate our various intelligence
potentials, and to apply learning styles to experience positive results. It is known as healing. Holistic self-hypnosis also leads
to a better understanding of ourselves as individuals and as universal consciousness.
Healing is a natural on-going process. One does not have to be sick to experience holistic healing. Holistic healing is a win-
win process that encourages limitless self-potential.
