The Key To Transformational Embodiment About 30 years ago I began searching for the universal ”skeleton key” to transformational change. By the mid-1990s I had come to the conclusion that the ”key” to transformational change was part of what I began calling the somatic ground of being ... embodiment ... the foundation of ontological experience and awareness. This led to an approach using somatic interventions to instigate ontological transformation. I remember sitting in the “Hypnotorium” with Roye at the front doing something with someone, a piece of profound transformational hypnosis. This is very different from what many think of as hypnosis, i.e.: “You are getting sleepy … your eyes are getting heavy, tired, and they want to close … just let them close, NOW … going deeper into a deep, deep sense of relaxation … let yourself float down, even deeper, still …” and then some suggestions about stopping smoking or losing weight, or some other habit interruption and Continue Reading
SENSING TIME
Just like seeing or hearing TIME is a sense. I was in a brief exchange with James Tsakalos, an NLP Trainer, colleague and FB friend of mine, about setting time frames in training events. Fundamentally it was about when we begin and end training days with groups. I mentioned that I almost always begin the first day at 10:00 or 11:00, while I think James likes to start early. typically around 8:00. My reasoning for this is that for most folks who work they typically begin their day earlier rather than later, say 8:00 - 9:00 versus 10:00 to 11:00, and starting at a different time signals very clearly "THIS is NOT THAT." The same can be said for other aspects of timing during the day, e.g.: ending times, or breaks ... I usually break for 90 minutes for lunch, not 30 or 60 minutes. Again in part for the distinction that it makes versus many people's standard routine, as well as because it gives them longer to integrate and incorporate the material we covered in the Continue Reading
My comments on Social Ontology
[NOTE: Copied from http://blognostra.blogspot.in/2005/08/re-sv-mythoself-tm-my-comments-on.html ... reposted here in full. Response on mythoself-tm@yahoogroups.com in response to the Social Ontology blog at www.blognostra.blogspot.com – simultaneously posted in both forums. - JSR] Robert, Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; I must admit I don’t “get it” ... a lot of words and little point. You the “master” of “simplicity” taking so many words to say so little. I appreciate that Najma loved it so it of course may just be me, but with absolute honesty I don’t get it ... at least in relation to Social Ontology ... or even the ordinary construction of logical connections. First, as always with you, I accept that this is ultimately a trance-lation from Swedish into Swenglish ... (pronounced either ‘swing-lish’ or ‘sweng-lish’ if you prefer, for those who want to know). I also accept that Najma Continue Reading
Reinventing Reality …
Why Sir Issac Newton Had To “INVENT” Calculus … (and why his reason should matter to you) “If you can’t tell if it’s reality you’re dealing with, you can’t possibly expect take action to create the results you want.” - Joseph Riggio, Ph.D. author of “The State of Pefection: Unleashing Your Hidden Code To Mastery” For decades I’ve been on about the alignment between our perceptions of reality (all I believe we ever have with regard to our sense of reality and our ability to act in the world as we know and experience it) and … What’s beyond beyond our subjective, or constructed, experience .. the manifest and extant data in the environment … “objective, empirical evidence” … what we must accept as true even when we don’t agree with it or like it … as we know it to be through our own empirical, sensory perceptual experience. BUT … this is no ordinary or easy task … i.e.: arriving at an empirical experience of reality that simultaneously allows for what cannot be known except by Continue Reading
