The workshop is merely a way of giving those whispers a more structured form, a way of bringing them within our deliberate reach.
DurationThe wisdom of the unconscious is available on demand. There are many less formal ways to access one’s inner mind. This is David Calof’s “The Workshop of the Self” method for self-hypnosis, useful especially when one faces a particularly thorny problem.
Count the steps as you descend: twenty narrow stone steps cut into the side of a mountain. At the bottom is the door to your mental workshop.
Nail by nail, board by board, build your workshop in your head: a computerized archive of all your dreams, memories, and reflections; a bookcase housing every book you’ve ever read; an easy chair in which to read and ponder; a forge where you can wrestle with strong emotions and bend problems like molten metal until their answers are revealed in newly wrought forms; and, for more complex problems, an elevator that carries your questions to realms where long-term solutions can be found.
On the floor below, maybe, unlimited “raw materials” are stored, resources for solving any problem.This workshop can be used in many ways: for unraveling dilemmas, for examining stumbling blocks, to see what you are not seeing in a situation.
You can type the question into the computer, or wrestle it on the forge, and see, after several minutes, an answer, or a new perspective emerges.We all have the ability to create workshops in our minds.
We all hear whispers from our inner wisdom. The workshop is merely a way of giving those whispers a more structured form, a way of bringing them within our deliberate reach.
One of the most asked questions in my consultations is how I became a hypnotherapist. With that question, my first thought is often, “Do you have three hours?”
But instead of saying that, the versions of my answers vary depending on the time we have left in our consultations. It is a long story. So much so I dedicated a chapter called Onto the Promised Path in my memoir of sorts Carol’s Lives.
Recently, I was joking with a client that if I were to choose a profession again, two would be at the top of my list: A mail delivery person and a window cleaner – “Just imagine walking around with a bag of mail, visiting all sorts of houses, saying hello to kids and pets, maybe even occasionally striking up a meaningful conversation with different kinds of people. It’s healthy. It’s fresh air.
I could save a gym membership, and I’d be paid to walk around. Or, equally interesting, as a window cleaner, I’d be hanging in the air, cleaning windows, looking into different rooms and greeting different families, maybe even spotting some family dramas live…” At this point, my client exclaimed, “But you are doing just that!”
