Hypnosis Is Deep Energy Work

by

Or is Deep Energy Work Hypnosis?

Either way…

When Energy Moves Prepare to Jump Your “Grooves”

HOLY… Guacamole.

Some Deep “stuff” is going on. Have you noticed it?

Or is it only me?

I’ve lately been doing a lot of “energy work” and it is really interesting to see how things are shifting incredibly rapidly for me.

Some people point to astrological events to explain seemingly random spiritual and emotional turn-arounds and transformational events in their lives that result in MASSIVE shifts and SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.

I just think the process of opening our minds to the idea that we are actually fields of energy constantly swirling and shifting, opening and constricting, filtering, learning, exploring, experiencing can cause us to “level up” in a way that defies logical explanations.

In my song Paying Attention which I shared with you last week (and which Pete Furlong and I recently NAILED in the studio and I can’t freaking wait to share it with you) refers to the conversion experience of the apostle Paul who started out as a guy named “Saul” who was going around doing his absolute best to destroy the early Christian church.

Then one day he got his “butt kicked by the Spirit” and ended up literally struck down blind on the road to Tarsus… When he came to his senses, the world was different.

But the only thing that had actually changed was him.

So whether you are of any particular religion or  spiritual tradition or totally “not into that stuff”, doesn’t seem to matter.  When energy begins to move in the form of new ideas, new ways of moving your body, new patterns of heathy eating or behavior, “stuff” begins to happen. “Stuff” begins to come up and demand our attention…

Just a little “heads up” for you my beloved transformation nation…

“STUFF”  is MOVING! (“Stuff” of course is a polite technical term for Sh*t)

Shifts Happen.

While we all SAY we want to change our lives for the better, in our daily reality, Transformation is often messy and inconvenient and typically challenges the hell out of our comfort zones (not to mention little things like how we make a living and how we deal with the people in our lives who cling desperately to wanting “stuff” to stay the same…)

So the question I have for you today is this:
Are you ready? Because ready or not, if you actually implement ANY of the daily mind mastery tips that I have been sharing with you, energy is going to MOVE.

When energy moves, prepare to jump your groove.

Your assignment for Today (Should you choose to accept it):

is to take a moment and breathe, while imagining the breathe coming in as sparkling liquid light. Breathe that liquid light up from the bottoms of your feet, up the backs of your legs, up your spine and over the top of your head… pause for a count of 5 while swirling the energy of the breathe in front of your forehead… then release down the front of your body imagining the liquid light washing you clean of anything that may have been blocking the “flow”.

Engage your imagination to vividly increase the open flow of energy through your “field”.

That’s it. Do this for a few minutes throughout the day.

You might want to start keeping track in a journal or on your phone of the things that noticeably start to shift, or not. That’s totally to you.

We aren’t necessarily attempting to change anything specific. Just focus on allowing energy to flow freely though your “system”.  Then notice and follow the “nudges”.  Let me know how you do with this ok? You can use the contact form HERE.

The question ultimately is How Deep Do You Really Want To Go?

For your Transformation Tune portion of the Daily Mind Mastery Message, here’s a song in the process of “coming through”. I think it’s a message from the Universe. :o) Please watch to the end because I have a few short concise thoughts about going deep… and the creative process that might apply to you. (or you can skip ahead in the video once you get a feel for the new song as it “comes in”.)
Song # 517 “How Deep…” Version #1: The moment of inspiration…

Song # 517 “How Deep…” Version #2: The next step, following the flow of energy and playing with a more complex form.

For me, It feels like an energetic wave that is starting to GUSH through my life. And songs are quite literally energy forms that trigger emotions and states…

The question is, are you ready? Are you on board? Are you willing?

Personally I’m too deep in this now to turn back. I want to go deeper. And that means exploring ways to consistently, sustainably nurture and nourish the energy of transformation.

More about this as we dive in… in the meantime enjoy the process of allowing a song to move through and burst out into the world… DEMANDING TO BE SUNG…

Peace and grooviness to you!

The really important thing is just to be fully aware that you can realize the change you’re looking for…

Chunking UP and The Ecology of Congruence

by

Chunking UP and The Ecology of Congruence

Yo! Transformation Nation!

Today we are exploring the NLP concept of Chunking up and making sure your decisions for your work and relationships are CONGRUENT.

This has been an issue for me as well as many, many of my friends and clients.

How do you discover the “one thing” that truly satisfies your soul? When you love to do a bunch of things… (that all seem unrelated).

What is the “one thing” that just makes everything make sense and brings all of YOU under the laser beam focus that empowers you to make rapid progress, consistently AND sustainably?

19703982_mIn my NLP trainings we cover a subject that actually gives us this power. It’s called “Chunking”.

If you “chunk up” you are going more big picture. If you “chunk down” you get deeper into the details.

Now if you’re like me, you have a bunch of areas of interest in your life, you may have a ton of different talents and abilities that you love to explore and expand. And that’s great!

The challenge comes when we attempt to find a way to make a living that honors many aspects of ourselves and talents at the same time that it delivers real, actual VALUE to SOMEONE who will pay you money for the RESULT you provide for THEM.

(BTW I’m working on a course about MONEY and RIGHT LIVELIHOOD that goes deep with this).

Those of you on my lists who have been reading my emails for awhile have literally seen in action my own process for “chunking up”.

Back in July I started asking,
“How can I combine and integrate all the areas of expertise I’ve developed in my private NLP/Hypnosis practice over the years into ONE congruent, ecological website?

The result is HonestHypnosis.com 

Instead of a website for each and every course (which was driving me crazy), I have one site where ALL my  courses can be accessed in one handy place…with one handy user name and password. scroll up to the top menu and check out “Programs”

BOOM! Shift! (and a lot of work for my wordpress guru Michael Guerin LOL)

Lately I’ve been asking THESE questions:

“How can I integrate my music, my storytelling, my visual art, my insatiable curiosity for personal development and peak performance into my love of Hypnosis, NLP, EFT, Timeline Therapy, Energy Healing and  “NON-Religious Spirituality?”

also:

“How can I do one single email and blog post each day that gracefully honors my gifts and talents and personal transformation journey in a way that supports, encourages and inspires YOURS?”

HOWEVER!

In the process of asking these questions it was clear to me that I can no longer separate out my music from my transformation work.

So today we have a mind mastery tip and challenge about “chunking” AND a song that supports the concept and acts as an instant, “Wide Awake” hypnosis session.

So here’s the NLP “Mind Mastery” idea:
To chunk up to a bigger picture that includes all the stuff you love and desire in your “one thing” you simply ask

“What is this an example of?”

To illustrate simply – Think about a car. Now ask, “What is this an example of?” And you might get, “vehicle”…

then ask “What is a vehicle an example of?” and you might get “Transportation”

Then ask, “What is transportation an example of?” And you might get “movement”.

Of Course there’s a point where you’ve chunked up enough… and that’s where you are chunked high enough so that everything you love doing is an example of a single, focused, higher level of thinking…

So I asked myself, “what is my music an example of?”
And “what are all these cool mind mastery techniques examples of?”

I got HYPNOSIS… what is hypnosis an example of? and I got, Transformational Communication…

What this is all about, what I am all about is communicating to myself and others in a way that positively transforms our challenges and struggles into an empowered experience of being fully alive.

Boom! Shazaam! Oya moochka hannah hee knee!

COW-A-BUN-GAH!

Now I can work on whatever moves me every day and STILL be on target, on track on focus.

Does that make sense? Do you see it clearly? How does that feel? Does that ring a bell?

For years I struggled with “Do I do MUSIC?” or “Do I Do NLP/Hypnosis?” But suddenly it is brilliantly clear.

IT IS ALL THE SAME THING! Transformational Communication!

And all of a sudden…. Ahhhhh. Congruence. Everything is in alignment. It is suddenly ECOLOGICAL for me to connect with you daily and share a song AND and idea…. through the written word, the spoken word, the SUNG word…. and what are “words” examples of? Communication!

And if the words and ideas are about transforming your life, then we have my dear friend, TRANSFORMATIONAL COMMUNICATION.

The hound that chases two rabbits catches none! Focus is important, but if you chunk high enough your “focus” can include multiple “rabbits” – YOUR multiple talents, abilities and interests.

So your assignment today (should you choose to accept it) is to “Chunk up” in your life and see what you get.

As always I am happy to answer your questions so feel free to Contact Me

And the soundtrack for that transformational process today is Rise Up And Dance


This “wide awake hypnosis session in song” was written at a pivotal moment at the very beginning of my transformation adventure. And no matter where YOU are on your journey there is a powerful message in the song that can ignite and confirm your passionate power to create change, healing and transformation in your own life.

Enjoy!

Cowabungah!

I will see YOU on the inside!

p.s. I’m heading down to the recording studio today to record some more of the new tunes that are DELUGING me. I still have a ton of new videos to share with you, and a bunch of new courses in progress so YOU will hear about those soon…

The Shift

by

463 Paying Attention 2The Shift!

Paying Attention to the small changes that lead to big changes.

Hey There Transformation Tribe!

I know I’ve been a bit scarce around these here parts lately….

The reason? I’ve been DEEP in the integration process I call “The Shift”…

Not sure if you’ve noticed but you and I are not MACHINES! When we do deep healing work sometimes we have to be patient as the “new form” begins to replace the “old form”.

Sometimes it is a sudden, clear, concise shift “like the day that Saul of Tarsus was struck down blind but joyful on the road”…

Other times, the change slips in like mist or ground fog, does it’s thing and then leaves you feeling like something has mysteriously and inexplicably shifted but you may not even notice it for a while or be able to “figure it out”.

FYI I am working on my own personal transformation just as much as you are. We are in this TOGETHER.

Back in the beginning of February I had the good fortune to experience the full “Transformational Gate” of Dr. Donnie Epstein… Needless to say it was a mind-blowing, energy enhancing, deep change inducing experience.

As a result, I’ve made a ton of new videos and written a bunch of new songs that have simply been pouring through me as a result of that “Shift”. So much has come in, so fast, I just haven’t yet edited, uploaded and shared them with you…

I’ve also been working with my comrade in communication, Michael Guerin to more precisely “hone” my message and focus… So a lot of new content is about to be EXPRESSED!

Starting TODAY, there will be a Mind Mastery Tip as well as a Transformation Tune in my “regular” blog posts and email broadcasts. (BTW if you aren’t getting the emails you can sign up for them right here).

The bottom line is that my songs in and of themselves ARE Hypnosis.
“Wide Awake Hypnosis” to be sure, but totally and completely congruent and useful as tools to REPLACE the normal toxic, negative self talk that we all engage in. And it’s that negative self talk that is the actual “hypnosis” most of the humans on this planet do everyday. And then, add to that negative self hypnosis, the barrage of main stream media messages telling you, “you’re not pretty enough, rich enough, skinny enough, strong enough, popular enough etc”, and you have billions of people hypnotized to be miserable and to seek relief by buying stuff, eating stuff, drinking stuff that isn’t necessarily good for them.

When you fill your mind instead with music containing the specific language patterns I build into my songs, it can literally support YOU in transforming YOUR life.

And THAT’S what these emails are all about. YOU. Transforming. Your LIFE.

A story to illustrate: At Donnie Epstein’s “Transformational Gate” event, a woman came up to me and excitedly told me that she had begun playing my song, “Together We Can Change The World” for her elementary school class EVERY SINGLE DAY!

The other teachers in the school noticed that her class was noticeably happier, more productive, better students in general. So THEY DEMANDED that the entire school start the day with EVERYONE singing “Together We Can Change The World”. So somewhere there’s a school full of Elementary School kids singing “Change your mind and change your life, set aside the fear and strife…”

Every day. Every Single Day.

That is a “transformation tune” in action. Just keep in mind that the change created by a song is often a “Shift”. It can be subtle. It may need repetition. So the Mind Mastery Message for today is to Pay Attention to the subtle changes as well as the big changes. When you begin to pay attention you get more of what you focus on. It is an actual “law of the universe” kind of thing.

So today’s song is one I’ve been singing a lot lately with my friend Pete Furlong. We just recorded it together with his fabulous harmonies and Joe Mennonna’s amazing arranging talents.  I’ll send you the new version as soon as Joe is done mastering it. But in the meantime, here’s the solo acoustic version from my Home Across The Sea CD

Your assignment today, should you choose to accept it is to play this song softly in the background while you drive or work or go about your day or work out, or meditate. Let it percolate into your unconscious mind. And see if you can notice the “shift”. It might be subtle. after all, sometimes you have to “pay attention” to the still small voice that whispers to you of your sweet magnificence.

So that’s it for today!

I will see YOU on the INSIDE!

peace out.

Focus & Meaning Rap

by

hh-12-08-FocusRap-ss2Hey, hey, hey, hey,

HAY!

Surprise! a VERY short video for you today.

With a new song that is just now moving through me…

Inspired by what I talked about in yesterday’s video/blog post about Dr. Donnie Epstein…

Grounded in the idea that the only two things we humans can control in our world is

1. Where we are focusing our attention or What we are focusing ON…

and…

2. What meaning we give to whatever is happening…

To simplify it into a “chant” or “rap”

It becomes a new mantra…

Where is my focus?
What am I making it mean?

Your assignment today is to write this out, whisper it to yourself, chant it, rap it, sing it… all day long and then let me know how your day went.

Got it? Good!

Cool and groovy. I’m outa hear!

(yes you beloved detail oriented “spell checkers out there”, I MEANT to spell here, “Hear” it’s called “Phonological ambiguity” in Ericksonian Conversational Hypnosis…  Sum People call it Punning… But it adds up to something deep going on in your unconscious mind… That’s right… mmm hmmm :o)

– Mark

Some People Make A Living Surfing

by

9664488_mSome People Make A Living Surfing.

Yes?

OK.

So I have a point to make. I make it pretty clearly in this video. Watch it to find out.

So what do you think? What is it for you that is the equivalent of “surfing”?

And what do you tell yourself when you see other people doing what you would “love” to do?

  • Did they just get lucky?
  • Were they born with a silver spoon in their mouths?
  • Were they in the right place at the right time?
  • What else do you tell yourself?
  • What beliefs do you have in place that block YOU from doing what you actually want to do?

What would it be like to be able to let go of those old limiting beliefs AT WILL? Easily? Safely?

Once the “table is cleared” of old patterns, baggage, habits, limiting beliefs etc, you can then install beliefs that SUPPORT your healing, personal growth, and expansion…

Sometimes it takes a moment. Sometimes it takes a long time. Either way it’s worth going for…

Learn how in CRUSH anxiety FOREVER! (special beta test price expires soon)

–  Mark

p.s. if someone can make a living surfing, I personally believe that it MUST be possible do find a way to make a living that YOU love.
