So the last Story in Your Mind I shared was The Reindeer and Santa Claus where a man encountered Santa Claus during his hypnosis
And the last Encounter was With Aliens where another man strongly believed his past life was an alien!
Such unique experiences!
Yet that’s how they are able to resolve their issues in just 1 session
Anyway, Stories are amazing experiences from my clients while Encounters are astonishingly out of this world!
And for today, this story is called, The Hall Of Memories
That’s pretty catchy if I do say so myself
This client came to me feeling overwhelmed with relationships
She shared her traumatic childhood experiences and how she was so scared all the time
In particular, she highlighted that she recognised issues of abandonment in herself and her relationships
And she wanted to let go and resolve them now
Now to remind you
Each person is unique
So each of you might experience unique things for the same technique with the same issue
Especially with this client
And since we all have different Perceptions, Mindsets, And Beliefs
Thus we all have a unique world within us
A unique story of our lives
With our different understandings and perceptions of the world around us
So anyway, today we have Sakura (her name was changed to keep her identity a secret) who wanted to resolve her abandonment issues and whatever else that might be in her
We chat for a bit and once she was ready (she needed some time to prepare), we begin the hypnosis
And her story begins in her bedroom
Sakura shared how she was under her blanket in her bed, feeling safe and comfortable
She seemed to need some extra time before she was ready to continue, so I let her enjoy for a bit
Finally, she was ready to go on to find and resolve her issues
She opened the door and walked down a dark tunnel
Towards the end, she could sort of make out someone or two
As she walked closer, she saw what was there and she screamed and cried!
She immediately opened her eyes and cried some more, saying it was so scary
I gave her some tissue paper and started to calm her down
And then I asked her what she saw at the end of the tunnel
She said she saw the Grinch, in fact, 2 of them
A taller and slimmer Grinch and a shorter and fatter Grinch
Sakura started sharing how she first watched the Grinch That Stole Christmas and it freaked her out
I gave her time to calm down and she asked, “Why I saw the Grinch? Like why is such a scary being in my mind?!”
Since she seemed better now, I said, “I honestly don’t know”
“In fact, we don’t even know yet if both Grinches are there to help or harm you”, I continued
All we know is that both Grinches are important and somewhat related to the issues she wanted to resolve
And then I gave her a choice, whether to continue or end for today
She can always pull out if the Grinches really want to harm her
It is just how the story in her mind manifest itself after all
She took a deep breath and said, “Ok, let’s continue, I really need to get this out of my system”
She closed her eyes and was back in the dark tunnel
It was like she never left
And both Grinches were there waiting for her
Just standing there
She was trembling and she gulped before asking them, “Why are you here?”
One of them said, “We were waiting for you Sakura”
“Yea, we are here to guide you to what you are seeking”, the other Grinch added
Sakura went oh, and started to calm down
She realized they had no intentions to scare her and in fact, had kind looks and smiles
She took another breathe and said, lead the way
The Grinches gestured, and lead the way through a door at the end of the tunnel
And when she went through, she was astounded
“Wow… OMG McKing, you should see this…”, Sakura said
Since I cannot, I asked her to describe what she saw to me
“It’s amazing! I’m in a place, it’s very spacious, and there are many things floating around”
“Huh? Floating around? What do you mean?”
“I don’t know how to describe it… it’s just a huge white space and many items floating around… like I see some toys, some books, some furniture… they all are just floating around”
“Cool… so why did the Grinches bring you here?”
“Oh yea”, Sakura looked around but both Grinches have disappeared
“Oh well, it’s ok, your unconscious mind will know what to do next to help you”, I said
And soon, she was describing how a particular book was floating towards her and into her hands
It was an old brown leather book, and yet when she opened it, it was blank!
She flipped through the pages, but it was a truly blank book
No idea if it was supposed to be a story book, picture book, or a diary
Confused, she looked to me for guidance
And I asked her, “What do you think you need to activate this book?”
“A pen, it just came out in my mind, but I don’t have a pen”, she said
“Ok, how about you check your pockets first?”
Sakura checked her pockets and was surprised to find a feather quill
“McKing, this is weird, I found a feather quill in my pocket, what is it doing there?”
“Well, in the unconscious world, there are many interesting stuff that could happen”
“Yea! It’s been very interesting so far!”
“Know what to do with the feather quill?”
“I have no idea, I’m just going to put it on the book…”
The moment the tip of the feather quill touched the blank page of the book, ink magically flowed out of the feather quill and started to form an image
Sakura waited until it was formed before telling me it’s a tree
“Any idea why this tree appeared?”
“Hmm… I don’t know… funny though, cause this tree looks somewhat familiar… but I don’t recognize it… yet it looks familiar…”
She shifted her head and frowned in confusion due to this tree that seems familiar and yet not familiar
“OMG McKing!”
“What happened?”, I asked
“I don’t know! I think I just got sucked into the image of the tree! Like Harry Potter!”
“Oh that’s cool! So where are you now?”
“I see the tree! OMG I remember!”, she said as tears started flowing
“It’s ok, it’s ok… tell me what happened”
Sakura shared, through her tears, that she is now 6 years old and used to have a pet rabbit then
Her pet rabbit died and she was very sad
This tree, was where she was burying the rabbit
That’s why it looked familiar, yet she couldn’t place where or when cause it was so long ago in Japan
Also, while she was mourning of her recently dead pet
Her mum was around, but it was like she didn’t care
Her mum just walked away once the rabbit was buried and didn’t wait for her to say her last goodbyes to her pet
So it’s like a double whammy, first losing her pet rabbit and her mum abandoning her at the lowest point of her life of 6 years
(Children are delicate)
Once she was ready to continue, I guided her to resolve these issues of being lost and abandoned
And one of which was to forgive her mum
Regardless of the reasons for her walking away
Cause it happened so long in the past and it was time to let go
Once that was done, I brought her back to The Hall Of Memories (ok la that’s my name for it)
And soon after, out of hypnosis cause she was tired
Cause a lot happened for her and she will need some time to settle before handling other issues in her life
Her main issue she wanted to target is resolved and that’s good enough for her too
What do we learn from this hypnosis case study?
Quite a few things honestly!
Things aren’t always what they seem when we enter into the unconscious mind
Sometimes things that look scary are actually beneficial!
Her initial idea that the Grinch is scary was flipped opposite in her story
On top of that, we have many ways to do hypnosis and resolve a problem
It’s not a usual regression to enter into a story book like Harry Potter!
Hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I wrote it
