[mindmastery-essentialskills] Happy Thanksgiving + Experiment :)

[Guest guest]

Hi Doc, all,

 

Happy Thanksgiving and hope all is well with everyone

 

The other day I experienced something interesting and so now I have

been playing with this experiment. I figure,that

you, like me, enjoy practicing your skills in real life.

 

Someone I was hanging out with and who knows what I do for a living

wanted some help with learning something. He wanted to learn how to

use embedded commands. Firtst of all, because of his personality I suggested

that he consider them embedded suggestions.

 

You may wonder why or what I mean by this. Or not.

 

Anyway, did a few demonstrations because that is my preferred method to

teach and share things. A quick demo to me is thousands of times better

than hours of "talking theory" ( reminds me of Doc's saying "Talking don't cook the rice."

 

So this guy is nice and I wanted to help him with some things and these days I

have become

more and more selective with the people I help, whether for free or as a client.

 

Long story short, I was going to show him yet another fun and cool way to

practice his skills but before I could do this the situation changed.

 

It was almost like a Mentalism "trick" because you see I had written down

on a napkin what I thought would be a good embedded suggestion for him to play with

( for the new person who arrived to take their coat off ) Had I done this as a trick it would have

had a very powerful effect. When I showed the guy what I had written it blew him away!

 

The thing is I was really focusing on this happening and I saw it, felt the breeze of their jacket next to

my arm, I heard the fabric ( one of those polyester, fake down filled jackets )

and even the scent of it.

 

So before he could read what I wrote and then manage to smoothly suggest that this person take off their coat

and get comfortable, the person did it.

Right after I was thinking/feeling it happening very vividly.

 

This has happened countless times and so I started to experiment with this more consistantly.

More and more, over the years I have realized that techniques work and not always because of why

someone says they work. The important thing is that the techniques work.

 

So whether it is my belief that language patterns focus our energies and intentions on what we want

or whether they really are effective because of the subconscious understanding the meaning

and acting on it, or whatever the reason.

 

Anyway, it would be interesting to get some feedback from others about this.

You may want to go out and play with this and report back.

 

Getting ready for enjoying a small Thanksgiving gathering,
