Last Day of a Significant One Month

This was one month pretty much taken out of life, and totally devoted to the Hypnotherapy Course. While it's titled Hypnotherapy, it goes into so many deep facets of human consciousness, that I can very easily draw a parallel to the Vipassana experience. 

If that was a deep dive into consciousness at a Spiritual and Metaphorical level, this was at a Cognitive and Conscious Subconscious level. Like it's said, the shift is from unconscious incompetency, to unconscious competency, to conscious competency, and it's that last shift that this course enabled.

                  That's the whole group, with Yuvaraj at center, in the tie

While we started with a group of forty, the course was a five level course and it gradually grew to a group of sixty five, as people who had earlier done basic levels, joined in for the higher levels of the program.

The content of the course.....understanding life in its deeper dimensions, the time spent in trance, changing subconscious patterns, healing psychological and physiological disorders, past life regressions, parallel realities, dream interpretation, astral travel, aural readings, chakra awakening, manifesting ones own reality, journey of consciousness, the matrix of creation.....it almost starts to sound like a fantasy.......... but it's so rational, that you can't help but get seduced by its cognitive appeal.

I don't think there was even one person in the entire group who didn't completely conform to the idea that this was a month that had changed life at some deep deep level...in fact many were explicit in their declarations of having discovered themselves.

Again, the group itself added a fantastic energy, even the lunch table conversations were at a crazy surreal level.

There would be discussions on why Buddha's body stayed after death, but Christ's didn't......how water has a memory..... how plants talk to each other.... why the wise Adi Shankara lost his temper .......Bermuda Triangle....how Karma plays out....it's so so much, that at this point I'm thinking it'll take me months to process it all. 

Some pics from the last day:

Suzanne, me and Peter

Suzanne is a Sound Healer and works with Gongs for therapy. Peter is a Life Coach, and Sports and Corporate Trainer. We had an amazingly great time together. In fact, Suzanne and I now have a pact to meet in Amsterdam next year, for yet another ethereal rendezvous. And as we're talking, Peter's like....you can't be serious...but then, both of us were :)

 With Shree and Shibani

Shree is a language trainer with Corporates, long time into Chakra healing and Meditation at pretty deep levels, and Shibani is again a healer in various other spheres.

                                                With Gustaf, Bergie and Shruti

Gustaf , A Gestalt Psychotherapist from Norway, was my very first partner on day two of the course, when we learnt how to put people into a trance, and I won't forget his sense of humor. When I got him out of trance and I was like...so how was it? he went...'Wow, I'm a changed man'. It was hilarious.

I also remember Bergie about two weeks into the course saying...'this is tough, all my belief systems are being completely challenged'...... but last day she goes, 'well, maybe we'll meet again, in some life or the other'

With Promila, Sharan, Ajith and Rakesh (ignore his fingers on my head :)

Sharan is a living example of Hypnotherapy impact. She was, two years back, obese, at over 90 kgs, and with a spate of weight related disorders...... and with consistent hypnosis modalities she's brought herself to the pretty and healthy woman she now is. 

Rakesh, a hardened rationalist, who the first time I partnered with him, even refused to be put under trance, and chose to do just a clear cut existential talk....but end of the month, was one who went into the deepest of trances.

Ajith, an established organic farmer in Kenya, a super interesting person, to who learning seems to be a way of life. He even came with me to SELCO one day, and he's introduced me to some amazing new concepts like Water Memory, Talking to Plants, Oil gargling and such others.

Promila, the one with the sweetest, simplest and most grounded questions. 

There's lots of other people who we built strong connections with, and we realized that together we had built a co-created energy center in the room, one which we were all a little sad to let go off.......but one which we also knew was the beginning of some fundamental shifts in life. 

To Yuvaraj and the entire group, for enabling a beyond current dimensions experience....a huge huge wave of thrill, joy and gratitude.
