Captain’s Log:

Happy Holidays!

I will keep this short so you can enjoy the holidays!

As I write this, I am still recovering from the jet lag from Asia. It was a great trip, got to teach and do some consulting, so it was a great experience. Each time I travel I learn something new. One thing was the dramatic shift in perception from the election of our first President of color. It has renewed the great American dream; anyone can become president. We all wish him well in the coming years!

Personal Request:

I have recently completed a new program: Apex Recovery Program, an addiction relief system. (See below.) I would like to offer a Beta copy (at cost) to NFNLP members as I am developing testimonials for an upcoming infomercial. Call today for details! (I will also need on-camera testimonials. I have a few from students and clients who I have helped stop/overcome an addiction problem and if you want to be a part of this, call for details.)  

Apex Recovery Program

The only program that uses the latest in cutting-edge psychology, addictions research and advanced hypnotic techniques to bring about addiction recovery… Fast Effective, Easy to Use.

Traditional treatment for addictions has a very low success rate.  This ground-breaking program bypasses the normal places where people fail by reprogramming the mind using hypnosis, NLP, and new techniques.

Most programs take an all or nothing approach. This unique system combines the best from the current treatments and adds new insights from Dr. William Horton's 25 years in the field. It is the only program that can be used alone or with other programs, i.e. 12-Step, psychotherapy, or spiritual.

If you have tried traditional methods to no avail, now is the time to reach beyond and release your inner power using hypnosis and mental reprogramming to leave your addiction behind you now.

This is the only program that will help you easily lose the compulsion and obsession about your addiction and addictive behavior. No cravings, withdrawal symptoms or negative side effects.

You will notice changes almost immediately and many stop using from the first session. By the end of the first week a profound shift in your attitude and thinking will have started. 

You will know a new freedom and outlook. Fear of the addiction will leave you. You will realize your ability to overcome this problem.

These amazing results will last and you can review the program as needed to ensure your ongoing success.

The main features are an easy to use program that you can do in your own home, that you can do at your own pace. It will also allow total privacy for you to work on this problem. It has both visual and audio to ensure your understanding both the reasons for addiction and why it is usually difficult to overcome. It will give you deep insight into your problems, and how to overcome them.

It can be reviewed as many times as needed, so you get as much personal attention as you want for one low cost.

The benefits are many, from deep insight into yourself and why these problems are so difficult to overcome.

You will learn how to overcome compulsions and obsessions about the addiction and get on with your life.

Some of the benefits are:
* Techniques to overcome fear, to turn fear into power.
* Immediate ways to lower your stress levels.
* Develop steel resolve.
* Learn how to motivate yourself into action!

NFNLP SPECIAL

Once again, in our own "NFNLP Tradition", we will share the following poem. It has been in our e-zines for the past four years...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!

I would like to share this poem sent to me by one of our trainers.

"Twas the night before a NLP Christmas"
by Ed Redard MD

"Twas the night before Christmas"
And look what I find
All these empowering resources
In my unconscious mind

My beliefs and values
Were aligned with great care
In hopes that Erickson
Could work with what's there

The fears of my past
Were all put to bed
While visions of trance
Danced in my head

I took a deep breath
And adjusted my cap
And settled my brain
For a long winters nap

When into my head
There arose such a clatter
I set up in bed
To see what was the matter

Deep into my mind
I flew like a flash
And shut out the world
By pulling the sash

My tender new beliefs
Shown white as the snow
And gave the luster of permanence
To the convictions below

When, what to my minds eye
Should curiously appear
But the kind Milton Erickson
Drawing me near

With hypnotic language
Seductively slick
I knew in a moment
He put me in trance quick

Reaching down in my memories
The resources they came
With a deep and slow voice
He called them by name

Now Courage, now Compassion
Now Love and Conviction
On Power, On Laughter
On Faith and Determination

To the top of mind
Deep inside I knew how
Now integrate! Integrate!
Integrate Now!

And then in a twinkling
Without any grief
Empowering new ideas
Integrated into beliefs

As I lounged in my head
And was turning around
Deeper into my consciousness
Erickson came with a bound

He was dressed all in purple
From his head to his boots
With his hypnotic skills
Resisting was moot

He was kindly and wise
And quite assured of himself
And I went into trance
In spite of myself

He spoke many strange words
And went straight to work
Creating new possibilities
And then turned with a jerk

Clutching onto an idea
To a dream he gave a whistle
And flew out of my mind
Like a heat seeking missile

But I heard him exclaim
As he flew out of site
Happy NLPing to all
And to all a good night!

Techniques and Tips:

This is a mini-coaching session with a 6-year old child we would like to share.  It is an excellent example of how NLP techniques can be used in a variety of environments! 

We would like to thank Dr. Joseph Dube for sharing it with us!

Coaching Session: Scary Nightmare with a Small Child, Age 6.
By: Dr. Joseph Dube

Issue/Background: My 6 year old daughter had a terrifying nightmare which prevented her from sleeping. The mere thought of going to bed absolutely terrified her. And, it was getting late (thus a brief, powerful yet simple intervention was necessary so we all could get some sleep!)

Description: The nightmare consisted of "a scary witch who was bald, with a green eye", at school looking in at me from (outside) the school yard door."

Modified NLP Protocol:

Capturing the Scene: I asked my daughter to draw the "scary picture" she had seen in detail, including, as best she could, the horrible, terrifying physical features of the witch/scene. I directed her to feel all those "yucky feelings" while trying to capture them as best as she could, with colour. When she said she was done, I could clearly see the green, malformed eye oozing out of the witch (scary indeed!)

I folded part of the page back, over the "scary picture" - to cover it completely with a clean part of the sheet.

Modified EMDR Eye Movements: I asked her to think of the scary image while humming the words to one of her favourite songs - "I got nerve" (by Hannah Montana) as I asked her to track my hand movements with her eyes. I had her track a Z-pattern, several infinity loops, and finally some up and down sweeps while she hummed her happy tune. Her smile grew noticeably bigger from this procedure.

Positive Picture: I then asked her to redraw a positive, happy version on the folded-over part of the page - a funny, big, bright, happy, friendly, fun-loving version. She seemed to perk up when I asked her to do this and included trees, sun, rainbow, picnic scene, hearts, pretty flowers etc. I also directed her to feel all the "happy feelings" associated with this new, vibrant scene and to "bring it to her heart" (hold it to her chest).

I asked her to rename the new picture, to which she eagerly exclaimed "Yellow, the witch."

Swish-like Flick: I then flicked the page over the negative image (-pic.) - like a door hinge to expose the happy positive image of  "Yellow" the happy witch (+pic.) overtop.  I repeated this process several times quickly until the images were suitably "morphed" together. As I snapped the pieces of the page together in dramatic fashion, I made a "bling" noise to which she laughed. (At this point, through slight of hand, I covertly tore off the -pic and tossed it into the garbage!)

I covertly tore the - pic off the backside of the page).

Modified Autopilot: I asked her to watch the picture as I moved the +pic. close to her, and "waved" it in (close) and out (back) of her visual field for the requisite number of presentations i.e., 1x, 5x, 10x, 40X, 10X, 5X, 1X. She giggled when I did this.

Anchor: I anchored her (touched the centre of her chest gently) when she laughed. I repeated the anchoring and said "look it is Yellow (anchor)."

"She's all better now (anchor)." "She feels happy (anchor) - just like you feel happy (anchor)."

Sling-Shot (modified Swish technique): I had my daughter imagine that a rubber band was pulling her +pic. back as I slowly pulled the image back and pretended to snap the image up close to her face (I ran up to her with it and said "snap"- - whereupon she laughed, each time).

Lasting Impression: I placed a drop of lavender essential oil (one of her favourite smells) on the +pic and placed a second drop under her nose, as a "sensual" anchor.

Repeated Autopilot

Repeat Sling-Shot

Repeat Anchor

Fairly Tale Conversation:"Yellow the witch thanks you for helping her…She wants you to realise that she came to you - and only you - because she knew only you could help her. She didn't mean to scare you in your dream, but that is the way witches show up sometimes. She had a small eye problem and she used to be teased by everyone so she used to hide away from the sun and come out only at night-time to be around people when everyone is asleep. Only you were brave enough to help her. Now that you've helped fix her eye she is so very, very, happy. She says that you are her best friend. She says that you can tap your chest and breathe in whenever you need her or want to play with her." "Oh, what's that…oh yeah, she says that she really really loves you!"

Result:

Yellow the happy witch slept with my daughter that night. She cooed "I'm so happy…I feel like crying now. "Tomorrow I would like draw Yellow a witch family and some witch friends."
