Energy Hypnosis

A First Introduction To Energy Hypnosis by Dr Silvia Hartmann

What is energy hypnosis? To answer that, we need to first go back and ask, what is energy?

Energy is a component of actual reality, and it is something we generally cannot see, at least not with our physical eyes, but we can FEEL ENERGY.

The Energy Behind The Words

This is not feeling in any kind of imagination sense, but actual body sensations, for example, feeling touched by something cold in a warm room, a tightening in the stomach, a feeling of electricity in the back of the neck, hands getting hot, feet starting to tingle, etc.

All elements of nature - trees, ants, rocks, water, lions etc. - have naturally an energetic component, a layer of existence, that is energetic in origin.

Many elements of human design, however, do not  have this energetic component that makes something alive and real; words, for example, can have energetic components, OR NOT.

When there is actual energy behind the words, they can be felt and an EVENT comes into being that is NOTICED by people as they can now feel it in their body.

If there is no energy behind the words, it leaves you cold, as the term goes - you feel nothing because there is NOTHING THERE.

I usually give the example of a child who doesn't understand the words, reeling out a poem "a word at a time", blahblahblah, blah blah, blah, blah - and it means absolutely nothing because the words have become disconnected from the events they are supposed to describe.

The same phenomenon occurs when people rotely chant out prayers they've been taught - but there are just sounds that mean nothing, feel like nothing, because they are nothing.

Now take a fine, well trained, highly acclaimed Shakespearian actor and have them deliver the same poem, the same prayer.

The room falls silent.

All are fascinated, all attention is turned towards this person, delivering NOT WORDS, but TRANSMITTING EVENTS - the audience is on the edge of their seats, forgets to breathe, becomes involved, LIVES THE EVENTS, and feels them in their bodies.

They might start to cry, or to laugh - they FEEL THE EVENTS.

Energy Hypnosis Is About EVENTS

We are not transmitting like NLP would say "a sequence of internal representations" but instead, in energy hypnosis we are creating and transmitting "a sequence of EVENTS" that have an energetic existence, are an ENERGETIC REALITY, that touches those who interact with it literally, literally TOUCHES them so they can feel it.

You could call it real communication, if you will.

Energy Evocation

In order to transmit the event, the energy behind the words must be that of the event, and it must be present, or else there is no event, no communication AND THERE CAN BE NO CHANGE TO THE LISTENER.

It is the EVENTS that prescribe the words that will be spoken; the words can NEVER be thought of in terms of being separate from any event, or they will immediately cease to have reality, or effect.

The words themselves therefore become ONLY evocations to raise the energy that you trying to transmit to the other.

In order to evoke the energy and transmit the event, YOU need to contact the reality of the event - you need to feel the event yourself, feel it first, because if you don't, you can't possibly transmit it correctly!

Here is a simple example.

Say or read this sentence,

"The grass is green."

That's not much, in fact it might well be nothing, a non-event as this sequence of words has no impact on the energy body, doesn't MOVE YOU, doesn't change you.

Now, try this.

Transport yourself into a meadow with real grass.

Breathe deeply and let the feeling, the scent, the colour of the grass all become real to you, really have it be absolute real for you, and now, and from there, now say it again:

The grass is green.

That is the difference between "evoking the green grass" and just spouting meaningless words that change nothing, and touch nobody.

The ability to EVOKE THE EVENT, before you start talking "about it", is the key skill in energy hypnosis.

You need to step into that event, have it be real for you, and describe the event from inside the event, and then it becomes real for the listeners and the audience, because then, they can feel it to.

No Words, No State, No Voice

In energy hypnosis, there is no "one state" into which either the hypnotist or the traveller/audience enter.

THE STATE IS DEFINED BY THE EVENT.

You get a different state if you are standing on the green, green grass we talked about earlier, breathing deeply, looking across the meadow to the forests, and the silver mountains at the far horizon, than you will get if you are sitting on a hot rock in the Arizona desert, and all is reds and ochres and oranges, only the shadows are deepest black, and it is hot, relentless ... which is a totally different state to running down a beach and crashing into the wild, cold surf, gasping, laughing ...

So the state depends on the event, and as soon as the event is known, state follows not just automatically, but NATURALLY in direct cause and effect.

In that way, the state is totally connected to the event; and that's exactly as it should be!

THE WORDS ARE DEFINED BY THE EVENT

Words are a direct result of the state and the event.

Which words we choose, and how we put them together, is ENTIRELY defined by the event.

We don't have to "make up" words, they come naturally as the event is being described.

If you describe a horse rase from within the event, and from within the state of really being there, with the excitement of the crowd, the thundering of the hooves that you feel through your own body, and you're grasping your ticket, your horse is catching up, go on, GO ON!

Whoa ...

You get THE RIGHT WORDS totally free of charge, without any need for staring at grammatical constructs or language "patterns" - they just happen and are dependent on the event, and the state caused by the event.

Now, the voice.

What do you think?

Do you have to artificially moan, groan and rasp?

Do you have to "control your breathing" and remember to enter "an alpha breathing cycle" or "speak from your stomach"?

That is ALL totally unhelpful, and MERCIFULLY totally unnecessary in Energy Hypnosis.

All that YOU have to take care of is that YOU ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE EVENT - and then of course, your voice follows suit, naturally, obviously, and PERFECTLY.

THE VOICE IS DEFINED BY THE EVENT

Now we have the right state, the right words in the right order and sequence, AND the right voice.

Perfection in natural alignment and congruency.

How do you think that affects the listener?

How much easier does it become for the listener, the client, the audience to JOIN INTO THE EVENT and experience it likewise?

Of course it is easy now - everything is congruent, everything is essentially AS IT SHOULD BE in natural, human communication.

The Skills Of Energy Hypnosis

So if we don't need to "learn to enter into states", and we don't need to "learn the words", and we don't need to "learn the grammar", and we don't need to "learn the hypnotic language patterns", and we don't need to "learn the voices" - what's left to learn to become a superb Energy Hypnotist?

There are just two core skills, and they are EASY - once again, because they are completely natural and work in harmony with the basic design of human beings, their bodies and minds, and how they communicate amongst themselves.

The first skill is to be able to enter into the event.

In order to do that, it is important to completely forget about the audience - you can't enter fully into an experience if you keep one eye open and fixed into a different direction.

To do that, a lot of old entrainment must be let go off - including thoughts like, "What will they think of me?" and "I wonder if they like my tie ..."

You can't BE in the Arizona desert, or at a horse race, or throwing yourself into the surf wholeheartedly if you think like that.

This first skill, to allow oneself to enter into the event, is actually quite easy once its been made clear that this is what has to happen.

It also gets better very fast with practice, once it's known what we are supposed to be doing.

The second skill is to find events that are the right events for the person or the audience in question, and make an order and sequence of events that will get the desired outcome.

This too, is not difficult.

We might ask ourselves, "What does this person need to experience in order for these changes we are seeking to happen?" and then provide the events that produce the experience.

The EXPERIENCE - something that happened, something that was FELT IN THE BODY, something that was REAL and IS REMEMBERED! - is also, the event.

So that is energy hypnosis in a nutshell.

It is a form of communication by which the audience gets to have an experience, a REAL EXPERIENCE, that helps them to move on, to change, to heal or grow, whatever the purpose may be.

This experience comes from an event that is created and evoked by the energy hypnotist, whose job it is to find the right event for that person, and to MAKE IT REAL.

When the energy hypnotist can enter into the event themselves, their state, what they say, how they say it, and EVERYTHING ELSE becomes congruent and CORRECT.

With practice, this gets ever more intense, and ever more fascinating.

As one last comment, I would like to point out that the energy hypnotist is the one who gains the most from energy hypnosis - they are the ones who are continuously creating and partaking fully in positive events THEY are EXPERIENCING in mind, body and spirit.

They get the most out of it, and for the energy hypnotist themselves, every session with a client or an audience is a gift to themselves and at the same time.
