I am in the process of writing a book titled, "Christian Principled Hypnotherapy" (© Copyright December, 1991 - W. Dennis Parker) covering most of these topics and subjects, from my personal experiences and viewpoints. I will begin posting the chapters here on the site through the catalog as they become available for download or hard copy purchase. I will also begin to post free download of other materials that tie into the topics and subjects at hand for your use and reference.

Our subconscious mind is the area of our memories, imaginations, and emotions, which contain every thought, every touch, every smell, every conversation, and every sensory perception we have experienced in this life's existence. The magic of trance is that everything we have experienced in life can all be accessed through proper hypnotic methods and procedures. Trance is our natural God given ability to go into several deeper mental states of concentration or singularity of focus, allowing access to all experiences stored in memories. Thus coming to understand decisions (predominate thoughts) made from those sensitizing experiences, and sensory perceptions, which are generating our emotions and behaviors. Our Natural God given Trance or Mental Abilities to Ponder and Meditate is what the world is now calling "Hypnosis."

I would change the terms of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, simply to trance, or to pondering and meditation when prayerfully intentionally utilizing these mental states skillfully with knowledge for goal directed purposes. Hypnosis is varying states of mental trance concentration and focus. If I were to ask you, “What in your life's experiences have formulated beliefs in you that are still holding you back, binding you down, and keeping you from being all you want and wish to be? What is it?” Many of us would take a guess and some would be right, but most of us consciously don't know. We buried it years ago with amnesia and denial, our two primary defense mechanisms. "I never want to talk about that again." “Let’s never discuss or have this conversation again." "Oh, it's no big deal, just let it go, get over it.” You shouldn't feel that way about......” and so forth. We consciously instruct our subconscious functions of memory, imagination, and emotions, to bury and hide the hurts and pains of life as best we can, to defend our preservation of self. These self-preservation processes have terms and verbiage we all use such as, "I just put up walls and block the memories and pain out."

The hypnotherapy processes when employed correctly take us from being victims to survivors, take us from a state of unaware trauma, to a state of freedom and enlightenment, from a state of confusion and darkness of mind, to complete clarity and peace. "Peace of Mind, Body, and Spirit" is the potential of our sought out hypnotic trance experiences, and ought to be the ultimate goal through our study of trance and our application of these learning’s and self directed-self hypnosis, pondering and mediation.

A test of 100 questions doesn’t have to be taken to see if you answer a certain number this way or that way, which would indicate this or that or the other, may be the root of a behavioral issue. You simply need to learn how to go into trance yourself, intentionally for your own goal directed purposes, and learn to ask the subconscious mind appropriately, to bring forth the answers of your behavioral existence. When you do these processes correctly you break the hidden knowledge barriers (amnesia and denials) and up comes the exact situation of what is, and not just what someone may think it could be. I have engaged these processes on the "White Series" of CD's so you can work through numerous issues, as you relax and sleep following the "Therapeutic Prompts". Your subconscious mind which never sleeps will work through issues as prompted in the script of the CD. You will learn to listen to your thoughts, discern them, challenge them, change them, or accept and reinforce them, all in relaxation and sleep.

The hypnotic/hypnotherapy trance processes and procedures taught here are called, "The Gleaning of the Wisdom of Your Sub-Conscious Mind." Self-Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy processes give you knowledge of how to uncover and reveal to your conscious awareness, those "Predominate Thoughts," that generate our "Emotional Content" which drives our "Behaviors." The discovered and understood predominant thoughts that are not producing the behaviors we desire, are to then be challenged and changed, which when done effectively, generates new and different emotional content, altering and changing our behaviors.

The wisdom of our subconscious spoken of is our own God-given “conscience.” Where in we discern right from wrong, good from evil, and light from dark. A wise man once said to me, “We may not always know what, and we may not exactly know how, but we always know what is right, and have the ability to make right choices in our lives.” (Lewis R. Childs) This light of conscience becomes clearer in deep trance and illuminates former accepted self defeating beliefs generated through the misinterpretations or misunderstandings of our life's experiences and the decisions that we made from them. These decisions as predominant thoughts, created our belief system. Our belief systems are foundational to our character and drive our overall actions and behaviors.

Again, in trance and with proper hypnotic/hypnotherapy methods and procedures our life's experiences and the developed predominant thoughts can be revealed, reviewed, and analyzed. Bringing us to a complete new conscious awareness of these Initial Sensitizing Events, which is the root causes of our behaviors. We then apply an older, wiser, more knowledgeable view of the experience from a refined more mature understanding of life and conscience judgment, modifying or completely changing former misinterpretations, misunderstandings, or previously accepted misrepresentations of ourselves to ourselves or the accepted scripting of others. As we achieve these thought adjustments and changes, we release and change former emotional content, thus generating new and different behaviors. As we achieve these thought adjustments and changes, we release and change former emotional content, thus generating new and different behaviors. more mature understanding of life and conscience judgement, modifying or completely changing former misinterpetations, misunderstandings, or previously accepted misrepresentations of ourselves to ourselves or the accepted scripting of others. As we achieve these thougt adjustments and changes, we release and change former emotional content, thus generating new and different behaviors.

Some people identify and name our subconscious state of mind as being our spirit, our intelligence; I am of self, our inner being, and so forth. Whatever you choose to call it at present, isn't the point here and now, the point is that it contains the answers for you. You individually can come to understand you, and with that understanding is "the conscious awareness of the freedom of choice." This freedom of agency to choose, choice, is a God given gift, given to each of us, his children. Our ability to change our minds and thoughts making new decisions whenever we choose to gives us hope. We can discern that there is a better way for us, which makes us responsible for our actions and accountable to our Creator for our entertained chosen thoughts, actions, and dealings in this life.

Again, this ability to think, reason, discern, and analyze gives us the power and ability to change our minds through conscious freedom of choice. These choices are best developed from subconscious knowledge of "What Is," in fact driving our behaviors. This is what makes us different than the animals, in that we have independent ability to think about our thoughts and actions, choosing to act instead of just reacting. Again, these mental- spiritual abilities make us accountable for our thoughts, choices, and actions in this life. This agency of mind allows us to make new and better choices than we have done in the past. Giving us hope of a brighter future, knowing that we have individual power given us to choose and change for the better, whenever we choose to. This is an inherent power of being a son or daughter of God; it makes us human-mortal-children of divine spiritual and mortal parentage. We all participate in this agency as a portion of the divine inheritance we have been given and share, being human.

There is much confusion as to the "power of hypnosis," as if the term itself evokes some mystical control. Our purpose here is to dignify the capacities of the human mind and spirit. I want to bring about understanding of what great gifts we have all been given from our Creator in our varying natural trance abilities, to cope with the many tests and trials of this probationary school of existence that we all share in this mortal state on earth. Trance, or pondering and mediation, is the path to wisdom, understanding, and overcoming this world creating, Peace of Mind. I have presented at several ACHE International Hypnotherapy Conferences and instructed and explained trance principles to other therapists. The attached audio link is an edited version of a conference seminar presentation. The link gives an explanation Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, and of the potential benefits of the varying trance states with some detail of each.

The recording spends time dealing with the trance state of somnambulism. This is a highly imaginative mental state and is problematic for many people. Natural somnambulistic people are the ones stage hypnotists seek out to perform their stage shows, as they are exceptionally vulnerable to suggestion, and give the appearance of being in someone else's power. This illusion of hypnotic power that the stage hypnotist is attempting to create, for entertainment value, is the same as the magician is attempting to create the illusion that rabbits come out of hats, and pigeons come out of thin air, and money comes from your ear. The stage hypnotist seeks out these natural somnambulistic people that are walking around in a highly vulnerable, suggestible, chronic state of trance already.

This illusion of mind control keeps many people from studying trance with its true usefulness and potential benefits. It keeps us from understanding how to control our own minds, knowing when we are in consciousness, or a varying trance state, or choosing to go into trance intentionally for our own goal achievement, and using our power of choice to continuously improve. Our natural trance abilities are being portrayed in some pretty silly and many times inappropriate ways out in the world.

Listening to the linked conference seminar below will also give you information on my background and what I do with Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. You will begin to understand this natural trance phenomenon we call - Hypnosis. Again, this ability to think, reason, discern, and analyze gives us the power and ability to change our minds through conscious freedom of choice. These choices are best developed from subconscious knowledge of "What Is," in fact driving our behaviors. This is what makes us different than the animals, in that we have independent ability to think about our thoughts and actions, choosing to act instead of just reacting. Again, these mental- spiritual abilities make us accountable for our thoughts, choices, and actions in this life. This agency of mind allows us to make new and better choices than we have done in the past. Giving us hope of a brighter future, knowing that we have individual power given us to choose and change for the better, whenever we choose to.
