hi welcome to our first episode of beyond my crisis i'm your co host ron ross next and i'm vivian caspar here to help you understand how not to stop a crisis but move forward beyond the crisis that you've already encountered and we have exposure exceptional gas on how do you complex this and today we're very fortunate to have with us jim cullum a hypnotist consultant jim welcome to our show and help us understand how the power of the human mind can do so many things to propel people past the crises they've encountered already the human mind is very very powerful it can do amazing things if you think about it we were born we started off as a little  grew into this wonderful body and everyone knew exactly where to go the ice here the mouth here the knees here everything was perfectly formed by the power of the human body from the mind your mind is exceptionally powerful it can do so many things in fact they say that the sub conscious mind is the most powerful driving force in the universe well so when we think of hypnosis and our audience may think have gnosis is that misconception that that's what hypnosis is the incident did you just say you haven't used a watch in twenty years how long have you been doing hypnosis thirty to thirty two years how long is it now has been around oh thousands of years ok so modern hypnosis is not like those t v shows where people are quoting like a chicken might have no says for a professional like yourself is to achieve what what do you try to achieve for people we get people over the bum you get them unstuck from where they are with whatever it might be whether somebody wants to stop smoking where they have a habit they want to eliminate fears of flying things such as that study to recall people who want to pass exams at work with lawyers to pass the bar exam there are so many areas that you could improve when you use this computer that's built into your own money so would depression be a subject matter that you can help people with well that would be but i'm not a therapist i don't do therapy so i have a scope of limitation that i must focusing on me i have a license health care professional for over forty years but i am not a therapist i don't do therapy so i would like to ask you as i heard that you can do some very powerful things we all know the mind controls everything and i personally believe there's way too many drugs being implemented as a health care professional what is it something that the average person would be very shocked to find out that you could do to through hypnosis that people otherwise control with drugs pain control for instance pain can how well i've worked with several physicians over the years i've taught in a hospital for twenty two years and we teach people to do self hypnosis and there are specific techniques that we also teach them to help control certain types of pain so what about i think we earlier that you can actually help women going into labor and someone who's been a nurse for a long time i think that's amazing i personally have been in the birth three times so how could i have benefited from this if i had known you sooner well hypnosis is actually manual hypnosis of lamar's right up to a certain point or identical and that point is where a lot mas has you focus on an external object maybe a light switch on the wall hypnosis has you focused within using imagery now you had told us before that you can control when you have the contractions you gave us a great story recently that you helped a woman to not get the contractions as much until she got to the hospital then speed up tell us about that pla well basically besides a pagan troll using imagery again you have control over the contractions you can speed them up you can slow them down so many women on the way to the hospital would slow them down so they arrive comfortably and get there once they're in the labor warm then they would speed them up because i don't think there are too many women that i've heard you mention that want to spend hours and hours in the labor so people in general are actually employing some form of word definition is focused concentration when you focus all your attention in one area and block out all the distraction your initiative and gnosis have but the subconscious mind this morning i was on my way here driving and i found i needed to make a detour to get gas and the gas station was a little bit more north i know only one direction i had to turn around so was that auto driving that your auto pilot has type of something does well it's kind of like that are usually driving to a familiar destination your mind to the thought maybe what you're having for dinner tonight or you're taking a trip on the weekend you're thinking about the trip and when you arrive at your destination you say you don't want to remember driving unless half a mile  a pilot or another example might be when you were in school someone who'd never opened a book but always got above ninety on a test that was a child who sat in the classroom and was so focused on the information being presented by the teacher it went right into their long term memory which is in the subconscious when they got home they knew it they knew they know it why waste time studying i really know their stuff and they did exceptionally on the test right i've seen some t v shows where they have an actor switch personalities as a form of like changing their personality type so hypnosis kind of connects with your personality with who you are and can shift how you observe the world how you perceive the world how you perceive yourself and how you react to it exactly the one thing you need with hypnosis you need to either need it or want it can't make you do anything it don't want to do and hypnosis already isn't that's important you can't do what you don't want to do how many focus and the geriatric sort of senile maybe dementia or borderline person they're also difficult because they also do not follow along a conversation well but in the in the wide spectrum in the middle there most people are in the times ahead so most people are hypnotizable but the problem i feel is that there's a gap between people who believe in hypnosis and people people who don't believe in hypnosis i think a lot of our audience may be interested to know how it gnosis can really work and today we're going to introduce a guest on the show which is one of your clients that you've done one hypnosis session with so far one session ok and what what what what was the goal for the session well for parents for to say maybe because she had a severe stutter and problem when she first came in it was very difficult to understand there i could make out to about fifty percent of what she was saying and her mother was very helpful to help me understand the rest we worked with her for one session and the results were very impressive how long does that that that last for the individual well the first session was somebody is normally about an hour and a half and then they had gnosis hypnosis needs reinforcement so what i normally do is teach my clients to do self hypnosis so they can practice at home and maintain the level that we've achieved in the office now i need to add in that i have seen you in the right reason i've asked you to come onto the show is i've experienced your skills firsthand i just had seen you about two weeks ago just under two weeks ago and a sunday two days later i had three cavities filled i had a pretty good amount of dental work done and i did employ your suggestions of s gnosis and i really was able to manage right to not have any pain or discomfort during that amount of as about an hour in the dentist chair so from my own perspective that's why i asked to come here because i thought that's phenomenal so the key to got it i don't have control over you you have the control i'm sure you have access and i think it would be important to say that i did did i see you for the purpose of dental relaxation no not at all no but i changed it up for that saw you saying completely unrelated i had a case actually very similar to what you're talking about i saw a young man about a year ago for study and we call to help him pass his test he was a very nervous test taker and his mother was a teacher so naturally even more so concerned that he does well i worked with him for that he aces exams his mother was very happy about that several months ago a few months went by and my wife and i were away on vacation i came back it was a message for me from this young man that he had going on a trip i'm sorry he had gone to the bike ride i was on the trip were going to bike right and he was hit by a car and when he was so panicked when he was laying in the street bleeding he was very upset and nervous he didn't know what to do what he was afraid so he  so because he said he felt safe and comfortable there when he got to the hospital they had to do emergency surgery on him for the bleeding that was occurring and the doctor told his family later that he doesn't know exactly how the boy stayed so and relaxed but there was a good chance that he could have bled out if he did not do that because the injury was serious enough so when osis in effect saved his life yes i tell my wife so this is something that i pretty much everybody should want to learn about would you be able to do a demonstration for us today yes i can live on camera yes we ok so you have your client here  with that my parent now sure grade and get around thank you very much for joining us and assisting us on demonstrating jim's abilities and what hypnosis can do for people so but how do you feel about being on camera today consent that she can be filmed and with you her consent as well she's happy to do it because she's happy with everything and i would love to ask this one question if i mean to jack do you find that hypnosis has been any kind of a barrier to getting something you want to did you ever want to get a job and you think something you know that these stunning rather i meant to say the stud ring was a barrier to helping you get like a job or anything else you wanted and has not come up too much yet but i feel that it would be a barrier for our employers to hire me in the future i've heard you before and you had started so so much we're going to do a cut in of an audiobook track you to hear what you sound like before that one session but do you remember how much you started or is that something you can't really recall at this point do you remember how you spoke before have you watched any videos of yourself i  have you seen yourself stuck here in the past on video sometimes and i feel so embarrassed you feel embarrassed about the stuttering and and do you think there's other people that could benefit from team and do you remember when approximate you started studying or when it was told to you do you have did you have a speech therapy i do not recall exactly when i started setting but i have had their case since first grade so it's and you're what grade now feel has started two weeks in yours and do they do they do anything that helps you with like hypnosis or is no employ any of that ok what do they do generally and speech their suffering games and exercises couple weeks ago before that one session i said this is incredible because the one session and perhaps it's also that never having been on t v before or maybe be deliberate slow speed test something to do in the gym when you met schools yes how how are you how do you do at school well what was the period last year three point nine three point nine ok and what's your favorite subject you pick one if you have several i enjoy designing creative writing ok ok what do you want to be when you grow up you want to go to man that aldous anything specific in anthropology  professor so as you might need to speak to be a professor right that might be helpful to teach so you let i'd like the audience to see what a session of a quick session off of those this would be knuckles a little bit there and then spread the first fingers of both hands apart keep your thumbs crossed now before you this we would get if i did this is something that happened to me if i kind of followed you along if the audience tries to do this what happens well then it might get right to where we need to be and we don't need to spend all the time to write get you there so was definitely a science behind this this is not like an art and the signs are an aside exactly so take and spread those first two fingers and regardless of how hard you try want you to focus on them with all your attention we guard less of how hard you try they're going to eventually close to you they will touch and you'll you may try to keep them apart but the minute they do touch your hands begin to melt right into your lap just falling right into your lap your fingers becoming soft and comfortable and just melting apart and your whole body begins to relax your entire body becoming smooth soft uncomfortable and at this time i'd like  imagine that you were standing in front of a large wooden door in a moment i'll ask you to open this door and when you do you're going to step into a very safe comfortable place it's a place where you can go to get away to be miles away from  cares and concerns it could be a deserted beach and a far away island it might be a comfortable river in your own home anywhere at all were you feel safe and comfortable so become away areas you reach out with your hand and grasp the door knob slowly turning it until you hear the lock catch and now open the door and step into this wonderful place as if you were actually there right now so that you could enjoy the sights the sounds the smell the colors all the comfortable feelings associated with this very special place and find a spot anywhere would all we can sit back to lie back as if you could spend the entire afternoon relaxing in this wonderful place feeling the safety feeling the comfort feeling the relaxation and then as you're relaxing your comfortable way become aware that your brain is a very powerful computer and it can process information faster than you can write it faster than you can speak but when it's time for you to speak any time anywhere at all you allow yourself to feel the relaxation look comfort and you allow the information to come down from your mind and through your mouth flowing comfortable way safely so that you are very articulate and you would not see ate your words clearly and comfortably so that you speak exactly the way you've been taught to speak over the years speaking clearly comfortably and of an adequate pace to enjoy the conversation and any time you feel yourself becoming a little fast you can simply touch the first finger and thumb of your left hand together form that little ok circle that will just slow you down a bit so that everything comes out clearly everything comes out comfortably and your words are easily understood and you feel good about that difference then go to count from one to three in a can of three you open your eyes awake alert feeling good relaxed and comfortable one coming up and up and up number two becoming more awake and alert and number three allowing your eyes to begin to open coming back into the present time in the present place feeling really good welcome back and can you share with us where you went when you open that door i want my grandparent's house very nice very very nice hadn't you had an enjoyable time is there anything that you could advise other kids or or even adults about what you experienced the feel safe ye relaxed do you feel there was any influence that you felt comfortable at any point of time now what would you say to people who might fear hypnosis if they think it's some type of mind control you feel that way i would say that sounds fact kind of ridiculous that resounds ridiculous and i noticed something about how you did it you used words that were always positive and affirmation no negatives like i hear sometimes parents saying don't touch that don't go there don't do this don't play with that toy and in my view those don'ts should not be part of the whole cavaleri it's tell your child what they should do negative suggestion because when you do you get the opposite of what you're looking for right so the subconscious mind has a way of filtering out the negative and leaving the past kind of like what the secret talks about what is what is they now get technique is called anyone doing it without the negative you have to ask for what you want when you ask for what you don't want that's exactly what you get what your don't want so when you're afraid so let's say there's a lot of people in financial crisis let's face it unfortunately most crises fall into not having enough money some people focus on i don't have enough i don't have enough i can't buy that today you need more of what you ask for right what you're saying i don't have enough you're convincing yourself if you really do not have enough and you will do everything in your power to ensure that you don't have enough you'll make the wrong decisions you know you'll be in the wrong place at the right tough time right so something our audience can start doing is start using language that promotes a positive result like neuro linguistic programming has that type of effect exactly you do get what you asked for and it's amazing because probably the worst thing that ever happened to me i broke my neck eight years ago story for another top i'm but i had a few friends that said i'm going to pray for us or please just ask for good health that's all i want you to say because they're always throwing the negative in america he will not mean he will not and then you get the opposite so i was very specific so i think one of the goals would be get people to speak positively to each other to family members to their friends to their colleagues bosses to their employees and we will have a more productive more happy environment and for the people who have had all the people have had divorce or party can heart break for those people i'd like to mention that you have written a book about it but really going back to pounds of that that has to do with positive and really i think that it's important to mention if people are focused i can't have a good relationship they're not going to have good relationships instead they just have to look beyond that and say what next how to be better what should they say they should say what kevin to do starting right now the past is over there's only one real time it's the present the future hasn't come yet the past it's gone there's nothing we can change at this point time to make this better the next time because it's the things you do today that will set the stage for tomorrow that's a start of the young lady here how do you feel this experience was few not just today but in general do you believe that hypnosis is something that has helped you more than the speech therapy or does it going to help you going forward i feel is benefiting me to help with my speech so you c do how does that how do you think that help you with the rest of your life i feel help it more when you speak more fluently right well thank you so much jim that was a great demonstration i really appreciate i wan to see more i want to experience it too so now an open mind for suggestibility in a positive way you are in control it's your computer you get to call the shots it's just learning how to use it it's like riding a bicycle that bicycles a great tool to get your from point a to point b but you first have to learn how to balance and then pedal and then take it were if you were right and the belief that you can do it is probably the most significant thought to have if you want to achieve something to believe to have hope that you can belief is very important but i have noticed technically it's not something that you must believe in like i said we do it naturally dozens of times every day we focus our attention on something and we block everything out and we don't know sometimes how we've done it you're maybe preparing a meal or at the kitchen counter and you see your spot or two of blood and you say where did that at oh wow it's me and you cut yourself and you didn't even realize it because you were so focused on what you were doing your the thought that was in your mind and you didn't even realize that you cut yourself well i had i def i think the only way to transform your life is just being a lot more positive it really would have boils down to because it's all the energy right more positive thoughts being being positive energy and positive outcomes and people don't realize if you've been stuck in negative patterns for very long time it has to do with your thought process subconsciously and consciously are going to yield those constant results correct exactly we believe that you are what you think so without our infest and so yeah let's start doing things that move us forward to make our lives great abundance joyful happy spirited even in the worst of situations there's still something that we can do with our minds to get it right on track and that is how you get beyond your crisis thank
