I am believing more now than ever in the transformative power of trance work imagery and suggestion as a healing remedy for the past wounds and present self destructive compulsions. One of my closest friends, John Soileau sponsored my attendance in programs teaching Milton Erickson and Richard Bandler trance work. We have within us the ability to alter behaviors and our unconscious mind is in control. After spending time at the Monroe Institute which offered greater access to the subconscious I was ready to study the Bandler/Erickson methods to facilitate change and freedom. I had instinctively been doing a lot if this work for decades but could have used the awareness and techniques of these innovative and brilliant therapists. The focus is less on the traumas of our past and more on altering the images of past, present and future. In review of what I have learned I liken it to the film industry. We can edit the motion pictures of our lives by becoming cinematographers, fading out scenes, changing our perspectives, intentional cuts, juxtaposing realities, build our own plot line, and determine the angle, direction, message and meaning of the rest of the movie. We become the directors as well as editors. We choose the cast, parts and scenes that make the final cut. The ability to see a close up of an unwanted behavior or event with full volume that effects our lives and causes stress also indicates we can reduce and fade that scene, make it smaller and distant until it is a small particle of our past or present. We mute the sound and we can reduce the image until it disappears from the screening of our lives. Its true we are not always the producer or the original script writer of life events but we direct and edit. At some point we can decide to take over the filming, to control the production and deal with unwanted intrusions with cuts and retakes. We can make meaning out of the earlier scenes by demonstrating the lessons learned, growth achieved, expansion of vision and humanity, teaching and witnessing for others, modeling and guiding healing. Our life cinema can become a soul awakening, awareness expanding, life intensifying feature presentation. Its simply mind over matter. TK
