Ghandi once said, “Usually I meditate for an hour each morning, but I have so much to do today, I will meditate for two.” In other words, once you have something worked out firmly in your mind, its physical manifestation comes quickly.

HAMMERTOES

For example, a woman suffered from hammertoes (toes curl down). She tried everything, even having the tendons in her foot cut to help her toes lie flat. The tendons grew back together! Finally, she decided to try hypnosis. In one session, she recalled her father had been very mean. If she would cry, her father would threaten her with a beating. As an adult, she remembered how mean her father was and how afraid she was of him. What was buried in her subconscious were decisions she had made as a child:

To stop herself from crying (and avoid a beating), she would curl up her toes. She had equated showing emotion with physical pain.

As an adult she was continuing to curl her toes to keep from being emotional and avoid pain. Ah ha! Once she understood what caused her behavior, her toes went flat and remained flat.

THE LEFTY

A 57-year-old man procrastinated when writing checks and paying bills. He wanted to conquer his procrastination and tried hypnosis to overcome it. It worked, but not in the way he anticipated.

During hypnosis, he remembered being in kindergarten and holding his pencil in his left hand. His teacher walked by and remarked, “Oh, you must be a lefty” (meaning he must be left-handed). At that very moment, his young mind decided he must be left handed. Why?

Because he was told by an “authority figure” that he was left handed. (Children are taught to respect authority and grown-ups are always right.) Because as a child he didn’t have enough information to make an informed decision on his own. (A child doesn’t have enough information until the ages of 7-9. Before that, their young minds accept pretty much everything - carte blanche.)

Because of this one remark, he spent the next 51 years writing left handed. However, everything else he performed with his right hand - opening doors, throwing balls, etc. Once he analyzed the incident with his adult mind, he realized he wasn’t left-handed, but really was right handed. He started writing with his right hand and within two days said it felt “right”. And his procrastination had left. For more examples, visit www.personalenergyprogram.com

THE LESSONS WE LEARN

We learned many lessons as children. Some were good and others not so good. These lessons play out constantly in our daily lives and run our behavior, even today. You usually remember an event, but how your young mind interpreted the event is usually buried deep in your subconscious. If you want to change a behavior, you need to: 1) Become aware of the event(s) that caused the behavior you want to change, 2) Determine how you interpreted the event(s), 3) Recognize how your interpretation created the behavior you want to change, and 4) Change or delete the behavior.

The fastest and most efficient way to change an unwanted behavior is through the use of hypnosis. With hypnosis you can easily access your subconscious mind, locate the event that triggered the pattern, understand how you interpreted the event, analyze the resulting behavior and re-train your brain by changing or deleting the behavior.

With hypnosis, you can easily re-train your brain. Remember, once you have something worked out in your mind, its physical manifestation comes quickly.

This card trick is very impromptu and can be done with a borrowed deck. There is no need to practice and no sleights needed.

Trick:

You predict a card without even touching the deck.

Method:

You hand a whole deck to your spectator and tell him to shuffle it. You then tell him to count 26 cards which is half of the deck. As he/she is counting, you remember the seventh card. Then tell him/her to set aside the 26 cards counted. You then write your prediction to a piece of paper. Next, tell him/her to pick any three cards from the other half. After that tell him to put the other half on top of the counted 26 cards. Put the three cards in a row order face up. Tell him for each card how many will he add to make it 10. For example the three cards are a six, seven, and a king. You will add four cards to six, three cards to seven and zero to king as it is considered 10 together with jack or queen. You then add the three cards: six + seven + 10 (king) = 27. You then tell the spectator to get the remaining cards face down and count until the 27th card is reached. The 27th card is the card you predicted.

Here is a another free card trick that requires a bit of preparation and practice. It can be done with a borrowed deck with a little misdirection to perform the flip.

Effect:

The spectator s chosen card appeared to be different from the rest.

Explanation:

You setup the deck with all face down except for one card at the bottom. You spread the card asking your spectator to choose one card. Be careful not to reveal the face up card at the bottom. You tell your spectator to pick the card, look at it, and remember the card but as he does, you flip the cards over. So you have one card face down and the rest face up. You tell your spectator to put the cards somewhere in the middle of the deck. Be careful not to reveal all face up cards. Then tell your spectator that you will put all cards behind you and reveal your card within a split second. What will you do here is you just get the top card and reveal it. This is obviously not his card. You then spread the cards face up to reveal one card that is face down. This is your spectator s card.
