Well.....I've signed up for an Integrated Hypnotherapy Program. It's with EKAA (Ekagra Karma Apara Antara), a Hypnotherapy Foundation (formerly known as the California Hypnotherapy Institute of India).
It's a one month program...... everyday, whole day, so you can imagine how intensive a program it is.
So what is it ?
It's been four days, and I feel like I'm on a trip....like a high. (no, not under hypnosis :). Yuvaraj Kapadia the founder and our teacher, is by himself an amazing experience. He's this real fund of knowledge, totally sorted on the most complex and deep of concepts, full of energy, and as said by him....he just loves to talk, and he's crazy good at it too. Makes the ten hour day (8.30 to 6.30) just fly by.
I'm not yet ready to provide a coherent and concise enough answer to the what yet, but let's suffice it to say, it covers the entire gamut of Hypnotherapy, right from it's clinical application, through which almost any ailment can be healed, through to the mystical and metaphysical facets of consciousness.

The Hypnotic State, simply put, is an altered state of consciousness which enables access to the subconscious mind, which is like the powerhouse of the mind.
Hypnosis is derived from the Greek term 'hypnose' which means 'nervous sleep', a paradoxical term which nicely defines what hypnosis is. Nervous is 'heightened awareness' and sleep is 'no awareness', so 'nervous sleep' is a different state of awareness, where the body is asleep and the mind is awake. And by mind it's more the subconscious mind.
The mix of people attending is really interesting. Of the forty people, there are only four from Bangalore. There's twenty five from different parts of the country, including Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Ahmadabad, Calcutta, Chennai, Baroda, Hyderabad and Mangalore and then ten from overseas, including Kenya, Dubai, US, UK and Norway. The bunch ranges across all age groups from varying professions, including Doctors, Psycho therapists, Physiotherapists, Chief Engineers from the Merchant Navy, Corporate Coaches, Motivational speakers, IT professionals, Special Educators, NLP practitioners and others. With this mix, and the one common eclectic thread of interest, it makes for a really fascinating group.
When I got home yesterday and a friend asked how it's been, what came out was 'Mind Blowing.....metaphorically and literally, mind blowing'
