eXperiential Hypnocast

So long to the Hypnocast, we are moving to a new location . . . go to http://briandavidphillips.net for the new blog and set your feeds to http://briandavidphillips.net/feed/podcast for the new podcast.See you there! -Brian

This week, the eXperiential Hypnocast is a video episode with a discussion and demonstration of Tarot Trance, a variation of the Tarot Trance process. This particular variation of the Tarot Trance process is a single-card method that involves intensified imaginative involvement for a fully realized experiential trance experience, ideomotor action, and other trance phenomena leveraged to create a dynamic and postive experience. As it's been a while since my last full episode upload, I have made this a very special episode in that the video includes the basic explanation as well as demonstration footage of me running the process with three different trance partners (the clip is after the induction, deepening, and processes for ensuring somnambulism and responsiveness). All three of the examples are of trance partners experiencing their first ever hypnosis session. Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

In this audio episode of the eXperiential Hypnocast, I demonstrate the SIGIL process, a playful yet powerful technique based upon ancient wisdom with a contemporary twist for externalizing internal feelings through the use of sigils, signs, symbols, or glyphs that creates a magickal connection within the changework process. The process uses visualization, focused feeling, kinesthetic and ideomotor effect, and more to change the neural responses and psychological states toward desired outcomes. Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

This week, the Brian David Phillips eXperiential Hypnocast is an video episode incorporating a simple explanation and then demonstration of a straightforward process I use that takes advantage of an old stage hypnotist effect of number amnesia for counting fingers and finding too many fingers and then turning that into a very powerful positive state emotion anchor. After the explanation, there is a demonstration with a trance partner in genuine unrehearsed hypnosis so you can see the process in actual practical application. Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams. Please Note: Some folks have reported problems with streaming the video files as well as problems with podcatchers catching the video episodes. So, please, if you're having issues with the videos, download the episode manually to your machine for playback. Sorry for the inconvenience (hopefully, this issue can get resolved for future hypnocasts or I will switch to audio only in the future after I've completed the run of episodes I already have set for video, that is).

This week, the eXperiential Hypnocast is a simple explanation and then demonstration of one of my FAVORITE trance processes. The process requires somnambulism and utilizes positive hallucination, tactile sensation, and a number of other experiential hypnosis effects and is a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE for recreation or even hypnotherapy. I developed the original process when inspired by the short story "The Magic Egg" by Frank Stockton, the Nineteenth Century writer. However, my version is inspired by the story but is very very different and uses the image of a fairy dragon rather than a phoenix and is much more positive in nature. After the explanation, there is a demonstration with a trance partner in genuine unrehearsed hypnosis so you can see the process in actual practical application. I have also used this process as one of the bags of tricks used in my Walkabout Trance Street Hypnosis act and have considered adding a variation to my Waking Dreams Hypnosis Show (for both of these, see more information in the category here or go to the "hypnosis show" section of my main webpages at http://www.briandavidphillips.com). Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

This week, the Hypnocast is a discussion and demonstration of Furry Fun Hypnosis, a variation of the Shapeshifter process which was an early audio hypnocast episode (still available for direct download in the archives). This particular variation of the Shapeshifter process is a guided method that involves intensified imaginative involvement for a fully realized experiential trance experience, ideomotor action, and other trance phenomena leveraged to create a dynamic and postive experience. Basically, in hypnosis your trance partner imagines herself as taking on animal form . . . the form can be full animal shape or an interim variation of humnanoid animal (popular with folks with a "furry" interest). Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

This episode of the Brian David Phillips Podcast is one of my favorite processes turned into a guided imagery that combines the concept of the animal spirit guide with that of the the werecreature. Folks who know me, know my love of the werewolf and this is a playful way to explore one's animal spirit connection. Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

In this episode of the Brian David Phillips eXperiential Hypnocast, we look at the NLP process of Anchoring and see how it is different in some ways and similar in others to Hypnotic Trigger Response Conditioning with a peek at where the concepts come from in the history of classical and associative behavioral conditioning. I also explain the differences between overt explicit conditioning and covert implicit conditioning processes. Finally, we go through a simple anchoring based guided imagery process to demonstrate the process. Yes, the example I use in the "test" your anchor part of the is intended to be playful. Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

In this video episode of the eXperiential Hypnocast, Brian David Phillips demonstrates the Energizer.  The video for this episode was recorded during a Walkabout Trance event in Taipei, Taiwan (see my workshop posts at Life of Brian where a group of hypnotists got together and did cold walkups to members of the public to perform instant inductions and suggestion effects). The Energizer is an elegant visualization process where you have a person imagine a good feeling as if it is held within the cups of their palms and accelerate that feeling and intensify the feeling. The original process is described in the archives at the Hypnosis Technique Exchange. It was originally developed as part of a covert seduction pattern but I demonstrate it here as a general feel good process instead. It is a rather nice and elegant process. If you are interested in learning this process more fully, feel free to sign up for the upcoming workshops at http://www.briandavidphillips.com. Feel free to post positive comments and responses to Life of Brian or Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

This episode of the Brian David Phillips eXperiential Hypnocast is a straightforward guided imagery in which you imagine you have found a magick carpet which flies over the landscape on a special journey.
