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.
