How do meditation and hypnosis really work? What is their practical value to a busy professional?

The value of effective mind management is often hidden behind woolly or esoteric half truths. The fact is that hypnosis and meditation are extremely useful processes which, when effectively learned and coordinated, form a very powerful mind management tool applicable in many areas of professional and personal life from creativity and innovation through to effective problem forming and solving.

These workshops are an application of the revolutionary modelling methodology DBM (Developmental Behavioural Modelling). DBM offers a practical, realistic, effective and scientific approach to many areas of human endeavour and learning.

Experiential training - guaranteed to be very different in terms of interest and effectiveness.

DBM Effective Meditation and Hypnosis - A Unique Course

The purpose of this training is to develop a "whole brain" approach to thinking, feeling and behaving through developing an integrated use of meditation and hypnosis.

Through the training you will learn to use a variety of meditations and levels of hypnosis to explore how you organise and process your reality. You will then learn how to use these processes to facilitate specific changes and overall life development.

It is designed to provide participants with a unique experience - highly useful, interesting and enjoyable. Specifically you will learn

To think more clearly
To feel better (and more usefully)
To gain a better understanding of yourself and others.
To achieve a thorough understanding of the processes of hypnosis and meditation - beyond the myths and half truths which abound.
To use both processes to promote and further health and welbeing.
To learn more thorougly and effectively
To go beyond the run of the mill techniques and dogmas in hypnosis and meditation.

These workshops combine the most recent scientific developments with the art of putting them into effective practice with a wide range of application in private and professional life:

Human Development

For thousands of years different cultures have developed and practiced a wide variety of meditation and trance techniques to enhance thinking and spiritual practice.

Meditation

Many people think of meditation as a way of relaxing. It is also much more than that. Meditation is the systematic cultivation of resourceful mental states: one meditates to transform oneself and one’s world. The practice of sitting in meditation is not an end in itself but is a process of changing the way our minds work – with repercussions on all aspects of living. Through the process of modelling we can identify the different skills and changes traditionally sought through meditation and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the process.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is often thought of as a kind of relaxation or sleep. The coining of the name hypnosis from hypnos (sleep) by Braid emphasised this. He later tried to change the name when he had experimented more and realised that ‘hypnosis could be used for active behavioural change. Through hypnosis it is easier to activate unconscious processes making active use of the patterning and creative abilities of the non-dominant hemisphere. The history and practical performance of hypnosis has been riddled with myths and rituals. Through the process of modelling we can identify the key processes (and tricks) in traditional induction techniques and create simpler, more effective ways of inducing trance and using hypnosis.

Integration of Hypnosis and Meditation

Through the modelling methodology of Developmental Behavioural Modelling DBM® and thirty years exploring meditation and hypnosis, John McWhirter has developed an integrated process that combines the individual benefits of meditation and hypnosis, creating more than the sum of the parts, offering a development tool to assist in a holistic approach to learning and personal development.

These workshops

These are experiential workshops in which John McWhirter (creator and principal developer of the DBM methodology and internationally recognised expert in both processes) will introduce and develop the most recent advances in modelling meditation and hypnosis.
He will present the key distinctions, models and processes in effective hypnosis and meditation in such a way as to allow detailed exploration, practise and learning.
These workshops are not about rapid, superficial trance inductions and meditation techniques. They are about developing a broader and deeper practical understanding of both processes.

Who Should Attend?

This training will be of value both to beginners in hypnosis and meditation and those with years of experience. The core skills and key models which we will be presenting and working on will enable all participants to develop whatever their current skills level.

Participants Will Learn:

How meditation and hypnosis really work.
To distinguish between three levels of mind: the conscious mind, the unconscious mind and the biological mind.
How to help yourself and others to enter into a range of trance states
How to guide yourself and others in a range of different mdeitations.
