the self

Christina: You can not tell us more about the self?

Erickson: Well. Once I taught course in hypnosis, it seems, somewhere in Indiana. And now I wade huge maypole, dense bones and muscles. On the face nothing but the intoxication of its force. Wanted him, you see, reap my hand. No sooner was this Machine to come up to me, as I have hastened to take his hand.

He said that all his knowledge on the nickname "Bulldog", and even if he took that himself in the head, then do not talk to anyone. "Not a single soul in the world can not drive me to the cross" - he said. "You want to see the opposite?" - I asked. "Long has not yet been born a man, that I was able mesmerized" - it is a firmament.

"I would like to prove otherwise, and to acquaint you with the person who can you mesmerized" - "I said. "Catch you on the word. Damned! "- Exclaimed Bulldog. "Tonight, when you prepare to sleep in his hotel room, find an hour, somewhere in the seven or eight nights. Put pajamas, sit in a chair in front of the mirror and look at the man who put you into trance. "

Morning, he said to me: "I'm in the Ferris chair and slept sitting up to eight AM. (Laughter) It must be the same prosidet well all night. I admit that he himself can introduce yourself in the trance. "

In 1950, I was a patient. Call me later, it was a while and said: "All last year I have been studying a book about samogipnoze, two or three hours each day, following all the instructions, but I can not enter into trance."

"Joan - I say it - you are also treated me in 1950. Really, after communicating with me you do not realize that it was necessary to call me a long time. Perhaps the author of the book that you are trying to осилить, such and such. " (Erickson calls the name of a well-known outsider in hypnosis.) "Yes, it most" - meets Joan. I explained it all: "All of his books on samogipnoze nothing more than waste paper. Are you deliberately trying to give me instructions on how and what to do. You deystvuesh on a conscious level. If you want samoindutsirovat trans, head of the alarm so that it zazvonil 20 minutes, put it on the dressing table, sit in front of the mirror and look at your reflection. "

The next day, call Joan: "I have raised the alarm and at the time that you said. I just sat and looked in the mirror, as he zazvonil. I decided that wrong. Again, very carefully run it so that it zazvonil 20 minutes. Set the clock on the table, the village looked in the mirror, and the alarm clock again zazvonil. The clock showed exactly that it was 20 minutes. "

In other words, you can not tell me what to do in a state of trance. Unconscious knows a lot more for you. Just have to trust the unconscious, and it will samogipnozom instead of you. Perhaps the unconscious will prompt more interesting ideas than those that you yourself think.

By the way, recently came to us from Dallas, my daughter who is a nurse. She tells about her work with patients. Work it hard, a lot of emergency calls, have to watch long. Their office is injured in car crashes, but in Dallas they wait in any minute.

The mother asked how she managed to fall asleep after exhausting duty. "Oh, it's easy - Roxanne replied. - I have a watch with luminous dial. I know that if in ten minutes I was still able to distinguish between the face, I stand and 20-fold down and lift the ladder from the bedroom into the living room. I am in fact lentyayka and I have never had to run 20 times on the stairs. But I firmly know that if after 10 minutes, I still will not sleep and was able to distinguish the figures on the clock, I always got out of bed 20 times sbegayu up and down the stairs. "

I have a paper about a man who lost his wife. He lived together with his son-widower. They were farm and together manage the affairs of his office, Real Estate. Suddenly they came to a head divided household responsibilities.

Finally, the old man came to me and said: "I spent the whole night can not get a wink of sleep all roll with the side to side and trying to sleep. I sleep two hours of power. Fall asleep somewhere in the five hours of the morning and wake up at seven. "

"Well, - I said. - Make your insomnia. Take everything I say. You say that sharing household chores with her son. How do you share them? "He replied:" Son of doing what he likes, but I - what I like. " "What do you most hate to do? - I asked. "Rub the floors. We have good floors of solid wood, like when they shine. I am ready to do all the work for himself and for his son, if only he nater floors. I am of this activity can not tolerate. "

"It's clear - I said. - I invented a cure for you. Only eight hours will not sleep. Survive the loss of eight hours of sleep? "" I'm too much of this year for the sleep lost, which is stand the extra eight hours, "- answered the old man.

I am advised: "When will you return home tonight, buy the bank mastics and special cloth for natirki and polished the floor the whole night. Completed by the time you usually arises morning. Then do the normal daily work. So you spend two hours of sleep. On the following night, start to chafe when all stacked up. Rub all night until the time comes to leave the office. For the four hours of sleep lost. The following night, continue natirku - and two more hours of sleep than usual. "

On the fourth night, before you start natirke sex, old man told his son: "I probably prisyadu for a moment, let your eyes relax." He woke up at seven o'clock the next morning.

Now in his mirror mastic and painted bank rag to natirki. I told him: "Do you watch with luminous dial, if after fifteen minutes zasnete, get up and rub the floor." Since then, sleep as a marmot, not a single night is not missed.
