When I was a teenager I often hitchhiked to rock concerts and festivals. My girlfriend and I wanted to go to a big, wild gathering near Leicester, New York and I suggested we hitch to my Uncle’s where we could stay the night and be near the festival.
My friend was apprehensive as we were pretty wild girls and she had no clue that my uncle was really cool.
Our family regarded him as eccentric. He lived in the middle of a cornfield in a trailer.
This humble home was crammed with stuff along with his wife and children. And “yes” he was unusual.
This lovely man of freedom and spirituality was exactly why I loved and admired my uncle. I guess you could say I took after him as I’m presently living in a trailer, not in a cornfield but the desert.
That night he played a cassette tape for us and we slept like babies, peacefully and deeply.
It was my uncle’s voice, deep, melodic and gravely, inducing us with relaxation techniques, suggestions and mindfulness. It was the essence of, what I know now, as entering into a trance state. Of hypnosis.
From that moment on, without consciously understanding or even remembering, I sought out Hypnosis. I bought cassettes and books on Hypnosis, creative visualization and similar subjects and at the age of 27 I joined S.G.I. Buddhism which is the act of intoning the phrase Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo.
This repetitive phrase along with the musical quality of these sounds in a rhythm induce a trance- state. A mystic state.
I have loved the feeling of weightlessness and floating that the trance state brings.
I am now in my home town, after being away for about 30 or 40 years.
Being with my sister and being here has brought back to the fore very vivid memories and one of them was of this event with my uncle Ray.
He truly was a mystic and ahead of his time and I thank him so very much for planting the seed of Hypnosis in my subconscious so that I may be of help and service to many others. Dedicated to my Uncle Ray.
As I slowly count down from twenty to one, I walk down a stairway. I breathe in for a count of 3 and out for a count of 5 and I relax. I relax deeper and deeper as I walk down these stairs. I see at the bottom of the stairs a door and I continue towards it.
I don’t know whether I will enter into trance in the middle of my descending or I will enter into trance when I come upon this door.
My eyes are closing and I feel well inside of myself and well with the all of the world.
NICE
