Hey everyone,

Thanks for subscribing to this blog and sorry we haven't posted here for a while but Jon is now concentrating on his new blog.

Go and have a look at JonathanChase.com. Jon will be adding to that regularly. I will be putting the odd post up here about Hypnosis.

We are really excited though about the launch - 'Coming Soon' of the Svengali System everything you need to know about Influence, Persausion, Covert and Conversational Hypnosis. Something that Jon's been working on for a year and practicing for a lifetime.

Things that work in the real world to help you get more TIME to play.

Hypnosis and weight loss

2009-09-09T20:22:00.004+01:00

Hypnosis for weight loss is one of the most searched for terms on the internet. Using hypnosis for weight loss does come with a responsibility to not make the client ill so dietry advice is necessary.

I came across this article from Healthy Pages and thought I would share it with you as it certainly seems to be a very creative use of hypnosis and if you are a good hypnotist and achieve a testable state then this idea is certainly one worth thinking about.

Anxiety and Fear - Can You Cope?

2009-05-03T12:22:00.004+01:00

Jon and I have been really busy focussing on new products that revolutionise and simplyfy the way we think and how to change our mental state.

It was by chance I came across this article in Healthy Pages. Anxiety and fear are on the rise in the UK.

Are you really ready to help to calm and motivate people into a better way of thinking?

See You Soon

What you can't do with hypnosis

2009-03-17T11:32:00.003Z

If you take a quick look around the internet hypnosis can apparently cure everything from Manic Depression to Cancer. And do that on CD - MP3 download or Telephone.

Hypnosis can make you thin, make you happy, make you sleep, make you stay awake, make you confident and even make you rich. Some people even claim it can increase the size of your breasts and even your penis, that is of course if you have those attachments in the first place.

Well actually to be perfectly honest, Hypnosis can't do any of the above.

Hypnosis is in fact very limited in what it can do as is any psychologically based intervention.

Your body can fight disease and repair trauma and your brain can learn new and more productive behaviours. Thoughts can not make your body do what it isn’t programmed to do or is capable of, and your brain can not change it’s base influential process which we call your personality.

For instance you can not by thought alone, and by extension by hypnosis, regrow a limb, change the shape of your nose, change your eye colour, only digest the good stuff, fly without the aid of mechanics or survive being immersed in water for twenty minutes without breathing apparatus. Your body has limits and, your imagination, your personality can not force it to go beyond those.

I know, if you’re a pro in the people problem sorting game you will see all this as entirely negative and will ban any prospective clients from coming within a million miles of this blog but, it’s just as important to know what hypnosis can’t do as it is to know what it does. Then you can find ways around to create viable alternatives.

Hypnosis changes behaviour. That’s what it does. Nearly all behaviour, habitual thinking is just behaviour, is learned from someone else. I say nearly because lifting your backside to pass wind, scratching an itch, laughing with relief when someone else falls over and picking your nose are all instinctive behaviours. There are probably 7,987,876 other ones and most are just too gross to talk about - including sex.

Hypnosis however can not change personality and the propensity to do certain stuff no matter how much it is claimed to able to.

You are born with a personality. It isn’t something that develops. It is a basis of predisposition and innate talent.

An addictive personality for instance becomes an addicted person. And by addiction I’m not talking just about the physical state with some drugs - although a non addictive personality usually doesn’t get hooked. That is a learned behaviour. I am talking about an underlying compulsion rather than a learned habit. Hypnosis is very good at changing learned habits using as it does the same mental process as learning. But no matter what you may have read it isn’t good at all in stopping people returning to whatever it is their personality, think mental DNA or blueprint, is inclined to do.

Physical stuff works more or less the same. Physical stuff works best when our body’s chemicals are balanced and in the right proportions. Our brain controls a lot of this except when it comes down to what comes in to our body from outside, although on the whole it does a good job of regulating that by . Note I say brain which in my book is as mechanical as the heart, liver or pancreas. Our mind is something else. Think of it as a computer and user relationship.

The thing is whilst the brain can be overridden by the mind it can not go further than it is designed to go and it can not do more than it is possible for it to do. Hypnosis can’t make it either.

So what can hypnosis do? It allows us to learn new behaviours in response to certain stimuli. If, and only if, that doesn’t conflict with our base personality, then these will become habit and we will respond in a different manner. Using hypnosis makes this happen really fast. I mean at the speed of thought fast and even light doesn’t stand a chance there.

By changing our behaviour we change the environment our brain and body works in and we can give both the best shot they have at becoming healthy, and that is what makes most people happy. Although there are some personalities that prefer to be unhappy.

Learning Hypnosis - empowerment self awareness

2009-02-12T15:26:00.004Z

Just sitting here and contemplating frost damage, having just looked at the photo from my last post! I got to thinking about why Jon and I do what we do.

We were talking this morning about satisfaction feeling a great warmth and glow from the feed back from our last training - the 1 Day and the 3 Day.

Here's what Donna had to say. She came from Essex to Oxford just to experience 1 day.

"I would like to thank you and Jon for a fascinating insight into the world of hypnosis, and I am so pleased I attended despite the 5 hour journey home in blizzard snow! Also please convey my thanks to Paul, who did indeed manage to give me some energy. What the class did for me yesterday was give me a little more empowerment, gain more self awareness and most important of all the knowledge that I am capable of continuing to move forward even if it's only baby steps.!"

Despite contemplating frost damage! Feedback like this makes it all worth it.

This is why what we do is so great and not only that Donna is also even more equipped with a new skill to do the same for others. So it's like passing it on.

Giving and passing on and as Jon is now getting into quantum read his past lives recall blog, it seems that the law of attraction really does have phsysics on its side.

Hypnosis is about intent there is nothing more powerful than your intentions.

3 Day Hypnosis - it snowed

2009-02-06T23:44:00.006Z

We had a great time on our 3 Day Hypnosis masterclass in Oxfordshire, and Jon and I would like to extend our thanks to all those that attended.

I think also for the first time it snowed and hope it didn't impede journeys home particularly the flights.

Today I took pictures from the office window. The sea looked steely grey and the rooftops were bright.

I will be confirming our new May dates soon for our next 3 Day Jonathan Chase masterclass.

NLP - Hypnosis by another name

2009-01-09T16:11:00.005Z

Jon posted this on a forum recently having found it at:

http://www.nlp-institut.ch/pdf/bandler.pdf an interview with Richard Bandler.

I suppose this makes the title of this blog official I quote Richard Bandler....

"You know you could sit around for three hours doing reframing. I can't believe that they still teach it. They teach it in courses that I am teaching with them. They don't teach it when I am around, but I just think it takes too long and it's too idiotic. It was a good step. But at that time the reason we had to do it was because people thought hypnosis was bad and they thought it didn't exist. These things don't even fit together but yet this was the current belief. So we made up a goofy way that they didn't have to say the word hypnosis, but they did all the same things.

Now that I don’t really think that‘s an issue anymore, I think any competent communicator who thinks hypnosis is bad or good is got to be wearing a dress and it has got to have a white collar on it at the same time. Because anybody else is not thinking about bad or good. They're thinking about what works and what doesn't work."

In the interview he also says that he believes change should be fast and that NLP has got very slow.

I have to say that this is what Jon has been saying about hypnosis for years, that it is easy to learn the techniques because mostly it's what's inside you anyway - you just have to know that you can do it.

To that end Jon has cut down his 5 day training to 3 days. In that 3 days you will learn the techniques that he has identified as being the most important and the most productive, rapid induction techniques, the way he uses symbolism to effect changes and how to influence people using conversation. Nothing complicated, just practical hypnosis for the modern world.

So why doesn't he do this online or by DVD, because to give it to you in th most effective way means practise. A bit like learning to drive a car really, you have to sit in it and do it, and you can learn enough to pass a test, but the real driving skills happen when you sit in the car and drive it on your own. But without those initial practical driving lessons you wouldn't have got to the point so quickly where you could put it to real use for yourself.

Not only does Jon teach you his methods really rapidly but we give you the whole package, materials and hotels as well - you don't need to think about anything - oh except your travel and bar bills ;-)

Add skills to broaden your income generation

2009-01-07T16:01:00.006Z

Jon and I were out last night having dinner at a friends pub in Starcross Devon, (the Anchor Inn – if you’re ever in the county go and eat there the food is great). It was their night off so they sat down and joined us; we spent a very pleasant few hours. They have owned and run the pub for years very successfully Alison winning awards for her cooking, but Terry told us about the huge amount of pubs going out of business and then talked about marketing. Let’s face it, good ideas and glossy brochures are only worth anything if you are able to get them in front of the people who are going to respond and become your patrons. And this is the same for any business; the very best marketing is still word of mouth. Give your clients beneficial value and your referral list will grow.

More people than ever this year will be coming into the hypnosis and therapy field because of redundancies, career changes and the promise of money to be made.

With more people wanting to earn a living out of the therapy field it is really important to take advice and learn from the real experts, those that have a track record and notable success in what they are telling you about. Self employment is never easy, but at the same time has never been easier, the key to success is:

1 Being passionate about what you do
2 Being very good and giving value and real benefits out of the thing that you do

For those already in the field, now is a really good time to learn and utilise more skills and specialise in what you know or feel you are really good at. In fact now is the time to spend money investing in yourself, adding those skills that will set you head and shoulders above the crowd.

Happily hypnosis is still free from government directives (at least in the UK) and we have always maintained that certificates and qualifications will not give you the necessary skills to alter someone else’s behavioural patterning, but learning how to manipulate the skills you already have in order to safely and responsibly alter someone else’s behavioural patterns is something you should be seriously thinking about.

Whether someone is just dipping their toes in the water, or someone with lots of knowledge already of hypnosis and its allied arts – there is always something else to be learnt. Especially (and I’m a bit biased here:-)) from someone as knowledgeable and caring as Jonathan Chase.

So take a tip from me, learn new skills all the time to broaden your knowledge and give your income generation possibilities a new lease of life.

Covert and conversational hypnosis coming

2009-01-03T12:24:00.000Z

2008 saw me do something I thought I never would, buy a lot of other peoples stuff.

A lot of future and former students have been asking when I will do my own version of a conversational-indirect-covert-secret-persuasion-manipulative Hypnosis course-audio-online-download course. So before I do, and I am going to, I thought I'd look at some of the leaders out there and discover the difference between them and what I'll be doing. Remember my speciality isn't invention, it is simplification and happily communicating that in an easy to recall fashion.

So here for the those of you who think my opinion is valid, is an appraisal from my own perspective on some of the stuff I've been looking at.

You know a lot of people knock the Taylor Starr stuff but there are some valid approaches in there - the black mirror and string pulling work very well but then again they always have. Igor Ledochowski's stuff has one or two as well although for me personally I find the long winded and unnecessarily complex beginning something of a waste of time, the statement that it only works for the benefit of the victim naive and the language archaic. The final section of the audio course, although not really worth the fee, is the bit you need and then around 50% of it.

Ross Jefferies stuff is one of the best manipulation approaches out there although even that is a little drawn out although much less so than most of the others although the focus is on getting someone into bed it would work for getting someone to draw the curtains or make coffee - it would just be easier to ask. Tom Vizzini and Kimberly McFarland also have some good stuff but again I find the layering cumbersome and it feels like addition for the sake of the conscious brain rather than for the necessity of usefulness.

Kenton Knepper's Wonder Words focuses on stage mentalism but is a very good example of how to use these skills in very practical situations even if all of those are on stage.

The other, and there are a lot, are just variations on a similar theme or just cut and paste bits and bobs of little interest. No doubt if you came across them first and didn't make a 'study' or comparison then you'd be convinced they were the best thing since Svengali but please, always think about this, you already have the skills, you just need mentored on how to use them.

The ultimate source of all of these however still stands out as unique and no, it isn't the idiosyncratic language used by Milton Erickson who's complete works bare little or no resemblance to any of his apparently spawned stuff which has more to do with Bandler than the good doctor, no. The ultimately unmissable persuasion treatise - hypnosis or otherwise - is of course How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. However wading through the early 20th century language and modernising the practical approaches to fit a much more educated and cynical society has took a while. Unless that's what you do I wouldn't bother.

So, now I've spent a lot of cash, time and effort. Worn out the iPod and noted what is missing or overly complicated I'm going to be presenting my own - probably online - how to cajole and persuade your mother to clean your room, the wife to mow the lawn, the boss to give you their job, the kids to clean your room, your clients to give you a tip and every member of the opposite sex of an acceptable age and demeanour to want to - - well - to want to -- course..... Stay tuned.

It's 2009 on Thursday

2008-12-29T22:54:00.007Z

Yes well it's that time of year again. Frankly I love each New Year. It always seems to me like a covering of snow, virginal and bright like a blank canvas to do amazing and exciting things.

All the reports say that 2009 is going to be tough - that money will be tight.

Change tough to Challenge and money as a series of numbers on a screen. My mentor, a very quiet, very successful entrepreneur, always said to me that money just goes round and round - sometimes it comes your way - sometimes you need to send it elsewhere to reap even greater rewards, but always remember your worth, your value and never underestimate what you do for others.

Passion leads to Success. Do what you feel really passionate about. Use the opportunities that come your way in 2009 to really explore.
Listening gives you greater understanding. Listen to others, by listening and caring you will earn greater respect.
Motive gives you a reason. Find your purpose and act upon it.
Investment is wisdom personifyed. Invest in yourself and be an inspiration to others.

My dear little grandson was born two weeks early on boxing day so I know that 2009 will bring me closer to a different role.

Happy New Year to you
Jane and JonC :-)

Building Relationships

2008-12-17T16:17:00.009Z

People, it's through our relationships with others that we get our support, our rewards and our purpose.

The series on TV at the moment here in the UK called Survivors really highlights this need I think we have for mutually beneficial relationships. (In case you're wondering what this has to do with a hypnosis blog - well I'll get to that.)

Survivors is a story about what happens when a virus wipes out 90% of the population. In the story people form small alliances with others that they meet along the way and makes me think that in those circumstances it is the building of new relationships that become important, otherwise what is the point.

So how can learning hypnosis help you to be able to form mutually beneficial relationships that will have a lasting effect on your life, your work, your wealth and your health?

Hypnosis changes patterns at a subconscious level. It is the ultimate communication tool, it is suggestion and as such you hypnotise and are hypnotised on a daily basis. Because you build relationships with people, what you say to them and yourself matters, learning hypnosis allows you to understand how you are able to influence and how to supercharge your relationships and build stronger and more understanding into those close-knit bonds.

Learn to join others in their reality, it's fun and rewarding and beneficial to all.

Are There Gaps In Your Market?

2008-12-12T13:03:00.005Z

Now that all our 2008 events and masterclasses are finished, aside from wishing all our readers a very Merry Chistmas I'd like to ensure that 2009 is going to be great for you.

I've just been reading a blog about clever companies who find gaps in the market. It was specifically talking about film hire companies and how there is a great divide between traditional film hire companies such as blockbusters and the newer type that deliver to your door. One you have to physically go to the other way you order then wait. There is a new brand of film hire that bridges the waiting gap - those that you can hire at your local supermarket for a $1 and even order online before you pick up. This is just an example of one particular company that saw a gap in the market and filled it. Which leads me nicely onto you and what gap you can fill in the market you're in.

On the last and successful stage hypnosis masterclass last weekend at the Hilton in Swindon, it became really clear to us where we needed to take the training to be of service to the majority of our customers. The stage is Jonathan's first love, his experience of - not just stage hypnosis - but of presentation and audiences is obvious, so for 2009 we will tayloring this particular masterclass to make it even more useful to you. You see gaps in markets can be filled in any business, even just by learning to get an edge.

Jon is really happy because in 2009 he will be returning to the stage - a place that he loves, however with the limitations of his disability being on stage has now become quite a challenge so he's combining his passions that of Past Life Recall and theatre. His new show will be local to us in Teignmouth Devon at the Carlton Theatre, January 11th see JonathanChase.com to find out more about this and the other forthcoming show in London March 10th.

I'm also excited about 2009 as I'm going to be a granny - Saskia (who works for the Academy - keeping our money and orders in order) is my eldest daughter and is due in the next month.

So where will 2009 take you? And how can learning the wealth of knowledge and communication skills off an experienced hypnotist take you?

Happy Crimball

Psychic Time Travel Phenomenon

2008-11-18T17:59:00.005Z

Now there comes a time in everyone's life when they start to become very phylisophical and enquiring, when they get interested and start to really think about life the universe and everything.

I used to do this many moons ago, but what comes around comes around and Jon is beginning to really peek my interest again with his past lives. Not regression but past life recall, recall because we are recalling memory - we are not being regressed back to childhood, we are simply recalling memory.

Jon being an experienced hypnotist, an innovator is now creating in me new thoughts about our minds and how our imaginations work.

Without hypnotic trance or indeed hypnosis Jon can very quickly and easily get my mind recalling things - more importantly adding that all important detail.

He is doing a Past Lives presentation at the Carlton Theatre, in Teignmouth Devon on 11th January and then another in London on March 10th. The fascinating thing is that he won't be using hypnosis and he will give the audience time for questions. He will be exploding and exploring the myths and the beliefs around Past Lives.

How to - Impromtu Hypnosis

2008-11-06T20:00:00.005Z

Walk into a group of people and announce in a clear and confident
voice that you are a hypnotist. You don't have to do anything else.
Just wait.

There will be one somnambulist. There is always one. They will have an eager
expression. They will be watching the person, not you, they will be
watching the person who is also always there. The one who *
challenges You * The one who say's. "Really? Bet you can't hypnotise
me."

You reply "No, I probably couldn't but there is someone here I can.
They know who they are."

Look at the challenger but lift your hand
with your finger pointing upwards and see who is first to look up
with your peripheral vision. It will be the somnambulist. The perfect
hypnotic subject. And in this case that is a fair word. It doesn't
mean they are subjugated it means they are subject to the hypnotic
state.

Now say,

"** If there was someone here who could be hypnotised I would say...**

Just look at that light up there. Just stare at it and watch how
heavy your eyes are getting. You won't let them close just yet but
they are getting very heavy and they do want to close sooooo much."
[This is possibly Erickson type language usage although I suspect eye
fixation even pre-dates Braid who was the first to write it down.
Early Americans and African wisemen often stared into flames to get
visions.]

Wait a moment. Count five in your head.

Now say,
"But now it is just too hard to keep them open so let them close. Let
them close and just relax and sleep deeply."
Your somnambulist will be gone regardless of whether you are in a
noisy bar or a royal garden party. Whether you are talking directly to them or not.

They will often remain standing if they began that way. Their head will drop
forward. It usually does, even if only slightly. It's really great if they begin to fall but if not catch them.

And there you go, your fist truly somnambulistic hypnotised person.
Although hypnosis isn't somnambulism, that's the result of hypnosis
not what it is.

Remote viewing enhanced with hypnosis?

2008-11-03T17:31:00.004Z

"Does Jon believe in remote viewing? Can hypnosis be used to enhance the ability to do this and if so, how?"

Jon's reply.

Ahhhhhh. The number 1 dream of every 14 year old school boy when gazing longingly at the girls gym changing rooms. The ability to see beyond the limits of walls space and distance and to view the secret hidden sights undetected and from the comfort of your own psyche.

I'm not sure. I have seen some people do this and get fairly close but never with any accuracy. The governments of the world, yes all of them, are reported by anecdote to use remote viewers but if they were accurate then finding Bin Larder [sic] would be a done deal. Unless of course he used a remote viewer to tell him when they were coming.

Look, I read Tarot. Now when you've stopped gasping or laughing I warm read and it seems to have relevance. However it isn't accurate enough to get the lottery numbers or I wouldn't be here.

IF there is such a thing as remote viewing then it could be enhanced using hypnosis quite simply and easily. Note I say hypnosis not hypnotherapy. Most hypnotherapy techniques take the hypnotee into too lethargic a state mentally or psychically - the words mean more or less the same thing - to elicit the focus you need to enhance such a skill so that you can make use of it.

It's the same with any mental asset, the more relaxed you become the harder it is to focus.

I'd use direct suggestion and hypnotic management to retain focus by asking the right very clean questions such as "What do you see to the left?" This assumes they have a left and that there is something worth looking at, both fairly safe bets in remote viewing.

I guess the biggest problem would be the propensity for the human mind to fill in the gaps - bet there's a term for that - because the mind hates gaps. You'd never really know which was which.

I did do an experiment with a friend of mine once made up of objects on a tray and he got around 70% which is fairly mind blowing but not completely outside the realms of coincidence or chance. So my juries still out.

How to hypnotise 1 day workshop

2008-10-29T12:54:00.003Z

We had a great day on Saturday and Sunday in London on our 1 day hypnosis workshop.

We met 40 great people from all walks of life who all had an interesting time hypnotising each other and asking some really interesting questions about hypnosis and hypnosis phenomenon.

We will be doing more of these next year to satisfy the growing number of people who want to know how to make the most out of their minds.

Hypnosis as Jon explains is about manipulation and control - however that is expected surely. If you see a hypnotist then you expect the hypnotist to reverse whatever it is you want changing - from simple phobias to anxiety states. The hypnotist needs to be able to control your subconscious to do the work if the hypnotist doesn't have that ability then the problem won't be relieved. Simple really.

When you are hypnotised (properly) you don't have a choice. But then you don't have a choice either when the behaviour is first implanted either.

Jon hypnotised Andy on Saturday for his fear of lifts. Not only did we film him in a lift afterwards but just to make sure himself, when he was at the airport later he went up and down in the lift to see what he felt about it, something he wouldn't have done before.

You have an incredible power at your fingertips - understand it, learn to use it and have a great time.

Hypnosis - Behaviour patterns or Perception?

2008-10-23T15:33:00.005+01:00

This little gem came from Jon in answer to a question on a forum. Obvious really but gives huge food for thought (excuse the pun):-) Jane

"When someone is eating onions on stage they are not eating onions. At least not in their reality. So you haven't made them enjoy onions you gave them an apple, or a banana or a kumquat or whatever else they like. So you haven't changed their behaviour at all, you are using their behaviour for apple.

What you have changed is their perception.

Now this is important, hypnosis doesn't change anything. Hypnotists change belief patterns. Behaviour comes from those, it doesn't create them."

Past Life - New Video

2008-10-17T16:01:00.003+01:00

Past Life Regression continues to be a source of fascination and to this end Jonathan will be teaching this much sought after art to run your very own past life parties.

Past Life Regression isn't always about noteable characters in history. According to Jon in his experience (in the early nineties he did a twelve week series of Past Lives on air at Beacon Radio)most people's accounts are of quite mundane ordinary lives, but it does give a clue sometimes that maybe there is something to the idea that we are born again.

Being of the mind that we are energy and energy never dies - then where might our memories and past existence end up?

If you look at remarkable people throughout History who appear to be before their time - like Da Vinci, maybe, just maybe he did exist in the future and that his energy was travelled backwards by being tossed around in the universe - and that all the inventions he appeared to make were actually memories of things he had actually witnessed.

Symbols and Perspective

2008-10-13T16:35:00.003+01:00

The subconscious doesn't work on language it works in symbols, or to be accurate patterns of energy. The symbol is just a way of focusing on that pattern. Change the pattern you change the result.... Or change the belief and you change the behaviour.... Or change the mind and you change everything.

The other thing is that you have to get your head around the fact that there is no such thing as positive or negative for the mind. Both are perspectives of the result seen from a specific point of view.

Take something like a bomb. For the victim it is a terrible act of terrorism. For the freedom fighter it is a glorious act of liberty.

The mind doesn't reason from a conscious perspective.

The trick with symbolism is to accept what they give you without interpretation and never to impose.
