The Trance Cafe

Any Questions? : An Evening Of Discovery : With Harry Knox

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 13:18:03 +0000

The June offering of the Trance Cafe is being offered by the one and only Harry Knox who is my close friend and mentor and is one of the best facilitators and transformative change consultants that I know. He is also dangerously funny, client centred and horribly pervasive.

This coming June Harry is offering an open and participatory discussion called ‘Any Questions?’ So the invite here is to bring your good self and absolutely any questions you have regarding NLP, Hypnotherapy, Change Work, Comedy, Humour, God, Religion, Politics, The Climate, Family Life, Therapy, Building A Profitable Practice, Swearing, Phobias, Weight Loss, Fishing and the Meaning Of Life to name a few potential topics.

Harry very often provides the stimulation for the most unexpected and deeply meaningful context for real change, so personal change is on the agenda too. Anticipate an evening of laughter, humour and learning … Not to be missed … Certainly to be experienced!

Harry will also be facilitating on the Master Practitioner NLP course beginning in September 2012.

Learning Forgiveness : Newcastle Hypnotherapy & NLP Practice Group : Wednesday 16th May – Nigel Hetherington

admin — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 09:45:55 +0000

Holding a grudge against another person or even yourself is like holding tightly onto bad, unhealthy and potentially destructive energy. In fact, holding a grudge IS holding onto bad, unhealthy and potentially destructive energy. The act of honest forgiveness for any such transgressions is an incredibly powerful healing tool. But it can be almost painfully impossible to forgive yet it can be done.

How many people do you know that have made a personal prison for themselves from events in the past? Bad and painful memories into bricks and bars. Prisons are built restrict and punish. They are intended both to be correctional and at the same time remove the prisoner from their friends, support and society. Are you one of these people who are still continuing to be holding onto some grudge from the past?

Grudges can be described as “An emotional response to some transgression of your values ( what is important ) and / or Your rules.”

When you want to be free of restrictive emotions, free from the prison of the past and you are ready to start out while you keep all the learnings that keep you safe, you are invited to come to the May Trance Cafe with a view of letting go the past and moving on forwards to live in more harmonistic ways.

There will be a brief overview of grudges and how they are ‘caused‘ and then move rapidly into ways to dissolve negative guilt laden energy without the requirement of any clerical presence.

Integrating Opposites : Newcastle Hypnosis & NLP Practice Group : Wednesday 18th April – Nigel Hetherington

admin — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:21:14 +0000

April .. and spring has sprung. We have all recently experienced a wonderful mixture of very hot and sunny weather mixed in with unseasonal rain and even snow. In short mother nature has shown many of her facets.

&nbsp

Life can be likened to the seasons. Sometimes it is hot and vibrant other times it is cold and desolate. This cafe is an exploration of some ways to integrate our changing seasons of life and experience into honest change work. It’s all to easy for a client to request that their life is free from depression or worry yet at the same time because of many factors totally disregard the positive function of life’s lesser valued emotions and experiences.

&nbsp

Newcastle’s hypnosis and nlp practice group this April is an honest attempt to integrate the seeming polarities of our lifes journey into a more accepting whole of experience and in ways, discover the better parts of the two such that we can all lead more meaningful and open lifes.

Somatic Symptom Space : Newcastle Hypnosis & NLP Practice Group : Wednesday 21st March – Nigel Hetherington

admin — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:05:48 +0000

This March the Newcastle hypnotherapy group is focusing on the practice of fostering and sponsoring a change process in a mutual therapeutic alliance. This process with concentrate on creating a space, a safe space where clients can connect with and to their own powerful internal resources with a not to hard, not to soft but middle path into a hypnotic state where change can be supported.

This is an opportunity to create change that is based in a non-verbal experience and has the depth that is more sustainable and general talk based therapies like CBT or counselling. Here the emphasis is on not talking but to create the space in trance where a bodily or somatic representation of the symptom or specific area of intentioned change is to be welcomed and supported and encouraged to evolve in its own organic way.

This process lends itself to working with physical and emotional problems; where a problem is defined as something like a block or barriers to achieving something of genuine benefit. This process will also lend itself to problems of the non physical, non-emotional kind … if such kinds exist at all.

Elman Style Hypnosis Induction And Change Process : Newcastle Hypnotherapy & NLP Practice Group : Wednesday 15th February – Nigel Hetherington

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:59:53 +0000

A long term favourite and particularly effective hypnotic induction and deeper is the Elman style hypnosis induction. It is a rather rapid technique at inducing trance in most people and it is very easy to learn. The Elman style induction combines tactile experience with repeated suggestion and deepening techniques.

More often learning one or more techniques to introduce trance usually moves to an important question for the hypnotist. The question being “Once someone is in trance what to do next?” This great question can be translated into how do you go about helping someone change?

This month at the Trance Cafe you will learn how to facilitate client change. So as well as learning the Elman style induction we also get to learn and use ‘The Room of Change’. The Room of Change is both a guided and emergent change metaphor to use with your clients and friends to do almost content free change work.

NLP Secret Meta Model Question – Nigel Hetherington

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:20:24 +0000

This is for me one of the most important
Distinctions I have shared in my newsletters.

This is so powerful yet simple you may not initially
Fully appreciate the significance of this question.

This is a distinction and equally a ‘Meta Model’
Question that was created by one of my good
Friends and original NLP trainers. This is from
Mike Treasure, who is one of the currently unsung yet
Oceanically deep NLP developers and practitioners.

When Bandler and Grinder first began teaching
What is know as the first NLP model, The Meta Model
The story goes they taught it without any explicit
Use of rapport ( Rapport is said to have come from
The third NLP Model ) and the results were very interesting.

Friends and families fell out with each other. People got
Punched and kicked. Small kittens were scorned and it is
Said that some cried and created work for therapists.
Relationships were rocked to their foundations. Not just
Because of a lack of rapport but as well a lack of understanding
The purpose behind the Meta Model interventions …

The Meta Model of Bandler and Grinder is a linguistic tool
Kit. It is designed to uncover Deep Structure and at the
Same time force a re-evaluation of ‘unhelpful’ and ’stuck’
States or thought process. It is an amazing tool, when
It is used well. It can also be a rapport killing problem creator.

I invite you to check your own experience of being
Meta Modelled by people. When applied without
Skill or purpose or rapport The Meta Model can
Become a very sharp scalpel making incisions and
Cuts where not are required, invited or needed.

The Meta Model and honest rapport not to
Mention compassion go hand in hand. But Please
Note I say compassion not empathy. No need to
Feel other peoples pain in order for you to help!

Now, having set the scene here is Mike Treasures
Excellent and Secret in the sense of only known
To a very few, Meta Model Question. Ask this of
Yourself BEFORE you go wielding the Meta scalpel.

“Can I say the same is true about me?”

This is a wonderful way to help people stop making
Unrefined incisions, Uncaring cuts and being a Slasher.

Asking yourself this before hand will really help you
With Rapport, Compassion and the Intention behind
Your Meta Modelling : Meta Meddling : Metal Mudding

Try this self reflexive Secret Meta Model Question and
Improve your 2nd and 3rd Position’s ( META ) too …

TuiNa Healing & WellBeing : Newcastle Hypnotherapist & NLP Practice Group : January 18th

admin — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:58:38 +0000

This January’s New Year Trance Cafe is a excellent way to begin 2012 – This is a Well -Being Workshop.

During 2012 as well as lots of practice and application of hypnotherapy skills, I am also going to be using the trance Cafe to offer some excellent and additional complementary skill sets for personal and professional wellbeing. Integrating additional skill sets is something I consider vitally important for continued professional development ( CPD ) and personal growth.

My good friend and college Tony MacDonald will be sharing his considerable skills in TuiNa Chinese massage for healing and well being. Tony is an internationally recognised Master Practitioner in TuiNa and has recently returned from India where he has added some very interesting new skills into his healing and well being work. Tony has decades of practising healing from his well known and respected background as a top martial arts instructor in the North East.

TuiNa is a massage technique that works on the muscles and ‘energy meridians’ that will be familiar concepts for those of us familiar with Chi Kung, Acupuncture and emotional freedom technique ( EFT ). This two hour session in Newcastle will give you hands, very practical ways to help your friends and family not just top up their well being ( one of the benefits of massage ) but be able to help with muscular aches and pains.

Our evening together will be packed full of practice of Chi Kung breathing exercises and well structured TuiNa massage techniques which are going to be interlaced with healing hypnotherapist language.

Rapid Hypnosis Inductions : Newcastle NLP & Hypnotherapy Practice Group : Wednesday 16th November – Nigel Hetherington

admin — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:31:47 +0000

This November at the Trance Cafe is rapid hypnotic inductions and trance phenomena.

Many hypnotists and therapists are not comfortable with eliciting trance phenomena with their clients in case it doesn’t work. Learning to more carefully calibrate your clients or the people you are hypnotizing will let you know more confidently what kind of trance phenomena you can go for. Trance phenomena like stuck hands, immobile feet, name amnesia or positive and negative hallucinations are all on the cards this month.

Now whether you choose to use these skills for entertainment or for therapy work is up to you. The evening is going to be a fun exploration of rapid hypnosis leading into trance phenomena. With Nigel Hetherington and my colleague John Penman, who is a stage magician and hypnotist.

The evening will consist of lots of rapid induction demonstrations and even more practice for you. Come along and learn how to rapidly induce trance and see how many hypnotic phenomena you can experience in one evening.
