Description: Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-Formation by Dr Richard Bandler From one of the greatest innovators in the field of personal growth comes bold new insights and hypnosis techniques to achieve lasting freedom from negative habits, thoughts, and beliefs. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description More than thirty years ago, Richard Bandler set out to discover how some therapists managed to effect startling change with their clients, while others were arguing about theories as their face patients waited in vain for help. Now widely regarded as the worlds greatest hypnotist, Richard Bandler observed and developed patterns which became the foundation of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), arguably one of the most profoundly effective approaches for self-development and change. Since coauthoring the internationally influential books, The Structure of Magic Volume 1, and Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton Erickson, M.D. Volume 1, Bandler has traveled the world, honing his skills and helping people solve problems and achieve goals when other "experts" have been unable to help. Richard Bandlers Guide to TRANCE-formation, he returns to his roots: hypnotic phenomena, trancework, and altered states to provide a highly compelling prescription for personal change. According to Bandler, "trance" is at the very foundation of human experience. People are not simply in or out of trance, but are moving from one trance to another. They have their work trances, their relationship trances, their driving trances, and their parenting trances. Some of these states are useful and appropriate; others are not. With his signature wit and contrarian approach to therapy, Bandler shows how anyone can reset or reprogram problem behaviors to desired alternatives, with lasting and life-altering results. Peppered with case studies and more than thirty exercises, Richard Bandlers Guide to TRANCE-formation, is an intriguing, engaging, and often amusing, read for anyone, whether they are new to NLP, want to further their NLP training, or simply want to make a positive difference in their own lives. Author Biography Richard Bandlers books have sold more than half a million copies worldwide. Tens of thousands of people, many of them therapists, have studied Bandlers blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and positive thinking at colleges and NLP training centers in the United States, Europe, and Australia.

Review "This wonderful book is for anyone interested in making their life significantly better. It is a goldmine of insights and techniques from one of the greatest geniuses of personal change. As you use the techniques in this book, you will exponentially increase your ability to make dramatic life-enhancing differences. It is by far one of the most entertaining and professionally stimulating books I have read. It will change your life!"--Paul McKenna, Ph.D, author of I Can Make You Thin and host of The Learning Channels I Can Make YouWith decades of practical and clinical hypnotherapy work behind him--during which he claims to have cured everything from phobias to schizophrenia--hypnotist and author Bandler (Get the Life You Want) rejects conventional psychotherapy in favor of neuro-linguistic programming, rooted in the inherent human capacity for learning and communication. Here, Bandler collects his techniques for overcoming mental problems now and in the future. Trance states, according to Bandler, are phenomena vital to the human experience, particularly in repetitive behaviors: [A]t some level or other, everything is hypnosis...[people] have their work trances, their relationship trances, their driving trances. Exploring these trance states with readers, Bandler provides a number of practical, meditative strategies for developing ones abilities to self-assess and reprogram destructive patterns, providing numerous patient anecdotes and sidelights on subjects like buried hypnotic commands. Despite some improbable claims (achieving lasting cures after only one trance session), Bandlers thorough breakdown of the learning process and simple, cumulative exercises make this psychological self-help worth a look, especially for those who have hit dead ends with more standard approaches.

Publishers Weekly, November 2008 Excerpt from Book Patterns, Learning, and Change How to Take Charge of Your Brain I have written many books and talked to many hundreds of thousands of people about hypnosis and NLP, and people are still confused about the similarities and differences between the two. In this book I hope to simplify the issue. My attitude is that at some level or other, everything is hypnosis. People are not simply in or out of trance but are moving from one trance to another. They have their work trances, their relationship trances, their driving trances, their parenting trances, and a whole collection of problem trances. One characteristic of trance is that it is patterned. Its repetitive or habitual. Its also the way we learn. After were born, we have so much knowledge and expertise to acquire--everything from walking, talking, and feeding ourselves to making decisions about what we want to do with the rest of our lives. Our brains are quick to learn how to automate behavior. Of course, this doesnt mean the brain always learns the right behavior to automate; quite often, our brains learn to do things in ways that make us miserable and even sick. We learn by repetition. Something we do enough times gets its own neuronal pathways in the brain. Each neuron learns to connect and fire with the next one down, and the behavior gets set. Sleeping and dreaming are important parts of the learning process. Freud thought of dreams as merely wish fulfillment--and maybe for him they were. I regard dreaming as unconscious rehearsal. If I do something Ive never done before, I tend to go home, go to sleep, and do it all night long. This is one of the functions of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. REM sleep is the way the unconscious mind processes what its experienced during the day. Its literally practicing repetitively to pattern the new learning at the neurological level. Quality information and quality material are important to the learning process. If the brain isnt given anything specific to work with, it processes nonsense. If we plan to take control of our learning, we need to understand that its not only repetition that is important but speed as well. The brain is designed to recognize patterns, and the pattern needs to be presented rapidly enough for the human to be able to perceive the pattern for what it is. Most people have drawn a series of stick figures in the margins of their schoolbooks, then flipped through them to make the figure appear to move. Each page has on it a static image, but the brain will find a pattern--in this case, movement--if the images run rapidly enough. We wouldnt be able to enjoy movies without this process. Wed never be able to understand the story if we only saw one frame a day. So, when we dream, were running through things to learn, and were not doing it in real time. Internal time differs from clock time in that we can expand or contract it. We learn at extraordinary speed--we can do maybe eight hours worth of work in five minutes before waking up. Sleep researchers support this idea. Subjects who report massively long and complex dreams are found through neural scanning to have been dreaming for only minutes, or even seconds, at a time. Sleep, therefore, is one of the ways we program and reprogram ourselves. If you doubt your own ability to do this, try this out tonight: As youre settling down to go to sleep, look at the clock, and tell yourself several times very firmly that youre going to wake up at a specific time. Set the alarm if you like, but you will wake up a second or two before it goes off. This is something Ive encountered in several different cultures. Some people gently bang the pillow with their heads the same number of times as the hour they want to get up. Others tap their heads or their forearms to set their wake-up time. Whichever way its done, the principle is the same; you somehow know you have an internal clock that you can set, using a specific ritual, and no matter how deeply you sleep, it will wake you as effectively as any alarm. If we can program ourselves to do one little thing--such as waking without an alarm--we can program our minds to do many things. We can decide to go to the supermarket. Maybe we need bread, milk, peanut butter, and a couple of cartons of juice. We can drive five miles to the supermarket, walk through a thousand products, maybe talking to someone on our cell phone, and still remember the juice, peanut butter, milk, and bread. Academics sometimes challenge me for something they call evidence. They want to know the theory behind what I do; they want me to explain it, preferably with the appropriate research references. Ive even had people ask for the correct citations for things that Ive made up. The way I see it, its not my job to prove, or even understand, everything about the workings of the mind. Im not too interested in why something should work. I only want to know how, so I can help people affect and influence whatever they want to change. The truth is, when we know how something is done, it becomes easy to change. Were highly programmable beings--as unpopular as that idea still is in some quarters. When I started using the term programming, people became really angry. They said things like, Youre saying were like machines. Were human beings, not robots. Actually, what I was saying was just the opposite. Were the only machine that can program itself. We are meta-programmable. We can set deliberately designed, automated programs that work by themselves to take care of boring, mundane tasks, thus freeing up our minds to do other, more interesting and creative, things. At the same time, if were doing something automatically that we shouldnt be doing--whether overeating, smoking, being afraid of elevators or the outside world, becoming depressed, or coveting our neighbors spouse--then we can program ourselves to change. Thats not being a robot; thats becoming a free spirit. To me the definition of freedom is being able to use your conscious mind to direct your unconscious activity. The unconscious mind is hugely powerful, but it needs direction. Without direction, you might end up grasping for straws . . . and then finding there just arent any there at all.
