Are you looking for a way to get better at hypnosis? Trying to find a product that will improve visualisation, focus, lucidity, clarity and trance depths?

There is such a product, and we've had it already for five long years!

This is a message from the Project Sanctuary group, and a response to an enquiry about a "basic hypnosis skills training set".

Have you (or are you) making these available, yet?

I inquire as I have recently been on a very tiring business trip where I

really needed the autogenics for aid/stress relief and discovered that I

needed help under those conditions. I really could have used something

to augment my normal imagination and senses. As a result, I didn't get

the help from PS that I sometimes get... and REALLY needed.

Any help available?

Hi John,

oh. Wow. Hypnosis 101! I'd quite forgotten about that. How weird.

Well not really. Even at the time I didn't like it.

It sounds "reasonable" but it sort of isn't in the spirit of what I do and how I do things. It smacks of dusty school rooms and treadmills, if you know what I mean.

And just because people *think* it would be good for them because they are entrained to think that way of suffering and it would be very easy to ride in on the back of that, I STILL don't like it and want no part of it, to be honest.

Also and in hindsight, I really don't think you could make a better "Hypnosis skills 101 trainer" than HypnoDreams Vol. 1, The Wisdom of the Water, if you TRIED.

Wisdom has a collection of journeys that take one through the most extraordinary range of skills and states along the way.

And that's just a *side effect* of what is going on so one is learning these things through the experience of them.

Just a few things off the top of my head include:

• Trance (Shamanic) Identification (the water journey) with all its many energy/state shifts;
• OBE/PSI/3rd Eye Activator (Ice River)
• Far Journeys Loci/States Immersion (Star Fall)
• Energy Awareness (Oceans)
• High States Overview Travelling (Darling)
• Aphasia and Mid Range Journeying, Aphasic Transformations (Treasures)

But of course, there's SO VERY MUCH MORE going on there; the structure and order of states and internal representations called for across the board as you go through each one is a major trip. The sequence of trance depths and what you find there, too.

Wisdom of the Water is the equivalent of taking a kid to see a premium production of a Shakespeare play to have them get an idea of what you can do with language, history, experience, observation, movement, colour, morality, and and and and and, and all of that whilst they're simply engaging with the story, rather than sitting them down in a corner with an A is for Annie Apple book, if you know what I mean.

They come away from it perhaps not immediately being able to now go : aahaaappppaaalelelleleleeeeehhh ... but my God, what they've learned is just LIGHTYEARS beyond such balloney.

There is no doubt in my mind that by playing the HypnoDreams we've made, or should I say, I INVENTED as TOOLS for *MY* PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, let's be honest here, I've created a teaching/learning device that has MASSIVELY increased my understanding and abilities of trance and what you can do with autogenics.

This also answers the practicality of it - like your stress travel experience. When I'm too freaked out to get to the states I need, I simply use HDs to *take me there*, CDs at one point, now using the Ipod.

Every time they *take me there*, *I* get to learn more about how to get there and how that works, and as well from all sorts of different starting points, that's important, like rage, total despair, physical pain, overfreaked insomniac tired, distressed, bored to screaming pitch, what have you.

It's a double thing. You get the instant state shifts but the thing is GENERATIVE - you learn how to do it. HOW to do the state movements.

And another thing.

When I listen these days to Wisdom, or should I say, when I *do* Wisdom or parts thereof or sequences constructed to my liking from the components, mix'n'match, what I get to see, feel, think, experience is ON ANOTHER PLANET, PLANE of existence to what it used to be when first I made them.

I used to love them, but now, they totally blow me away.

I get in there, and I can touch EVERYTHING, feel it, taste it, it's absolutely A-MAZING.

So, that's what that is.

I've already done "Hypnosis 101" and it's called HypnoDreams Vol.1, The Wisdom Of The Water.

Do those tracks for a month with the clear intention to get EVERYTHING from them you can get, and you won't recognise your abilities, images, trance-abilities, thoughts, levels of sheer lucidity after.

Carry them around and let them help you get out of misery states and you learn HOW it is done, how YOU do that and how quickly it can be done if you just know where you want to go.

Thank God I finally got clear on that one and can leave the "Annie Apple" rubbish where it belongs!

Bright rushing morning winds,
