I'll be dead by Tuesday ...

40

I’ll be dead …

Hypnosis for the removal of limiting beliefs … Even this concept baffles me.

Let’s think for a moment. What is a limiting belief? A limiting belief is something that holds us back. For my brain, I need air to breath … is that a limiting belief? as it has a limit to it … or is it an essential belief?

This then leads me to think. Perhaps all beliefs have a limitation, its more a matter of whether that limitation is working for or against us.
When we change the wording from limiting to essential that is when we can open up possibility.

Whilst in Melbourne back in 2016 I received a frantic phone call from a lady asking for hypnosis. She told me that her father and two brothers had all died within days of their 40th birthdays and she only had a few days to live (her 40th birthday was coming up on the Tuesday)

For her it was evident that she would die. All three of her family members had died in sudden accidents and she didn’t want to leave behind her 3 children. She also wanted to know if she was cursed and if she had to sacrifice herself for her children to lift the curse. This is something she was willing to do …

I told her that I would be home the next day (Monday) at 4pm and to meet me at the clinic. I asked her to go someplace where she felt safe till she could see me the next day. If at any stage she felt unsafe she was to go up to the hospital. Was she suicidal? was she a druggy? was she a mental case? or perhaps it was something simpler …

As I started the 7 hour drive home from Melbourne my thoughts were with this woman.

Was she going to show? Had she done something during those darkest hours?

I sent her a text message to confirm I would be home at 4pm. She responded … My heart could rest a little.

I immediately drove to my clinic to meet this woman. During the session I used a variety of hypnosis and nlp techniques to help ease her thoughts. She wasn’t a druggy. She wasn’t a fruit loop. She was a worried mother of three gorgeous boys that she loved more than herself and she didn’t want to leave them.

The one technique that helped her make the switch was the use of Cartesian nlp. A series of questions asked to achieve an outcome.

Do this for yourself with a problem you may have.

Think of the problem and answer each question quickly with the first response that comes to your mind … BE QUICK … BE HONEST!!!:

What would happen if you did?

What would happen if you didn’t?

What wouldn’t happen if it did?

What wouldn’t happen if you didn’t?

How have you failed to overcome the solution?

When will you stop this from being a limitation?

After this we quickly moved into a hypnosis technique called De-Identification pattern. Where she could go beyond the limiting identification she had for herself and changed her mind into an essential belief that she was a survivor. She was going to see her boys get married and have babies. She was going to be at graduations and celebrations in the future. AND … most importantly she was lifting this “curse” for them and the rest of the family.

And Tiger, if your reading this. I’ll see you at volleyball xox

Thanks for letting me share this story and I look forward to sending you a traditional HAPPY SURVIVAL BIRTHDAY text again this year. Did you wanna get some cake as well? :D
