Weekly Troubleshooting (Video) Hand Drop Induction Demo
This weeks troubleshooting video is a demonstration of Joergen conducting the Hand Drop Rapid induction at the April 2011 Provocative Hypnosis Training…
Once you’ve watched the demo at approximately (3 minutes in) the video moves onto Joergen giving hints, tips, and practical advice about the technique demonstrated.
Not only does the video demonstrate hypnosis in action but Joergen also elegantly describes how traditional ‘convincers’ used by hypnotists can hinder the idea of rapid inductions.
If you require any further convincing then please watch the video and notice what other nuances you find in the demo.

Weekly Troubleshooting (VIDEO) Who’s your ‘Guru’? Bandler, Robbins Et Al??
Welcome to the weekly troubleshooting tip of the week…
Have I got a brilliant demo lined up for you today… Or have I got a brilliant demo lined up for you today…
This weeks VIDEO delves into Guru worship and Projection…
Can you think of anyone you admire?
Someone you ‘look up to’?
Maybe they’re your ‘guru’ and you’d just love to be like them whilst owning the qualities that seem to ooze effortlessly from them?
If only I could or If only I was like or If only I had the….. I wish I was… Repeat to fade internal dialogue…
In the world of NLP & Hypnosis some people can and do take advantage of their art and utilise their skills to have you believe that.
BUT it’s not the truth and many trainers find it difficult to push their ego aside and make it clear as we all like a good old ego massage from time to time.
The problem is that after many a training if no-one has let you know or you’ve not yet discovered it for yourself… The source of your learning will be outside of YOU…
AND that in my opinion is what numerous schools of NLP do either consciously or unconsciously…
Because you may come back to the Master Track or the Advanced super jedi ninja higher Huna module… And that’s sometimes more important for them than the good old NLP ecology check!
I remember when I first listened to John Grinder talking and being in awe of his presense, his movements, his precision, his mind and thinking to myself he’s so cool… And today I still think the same… Yet differently, and I’m cool with that…
So how can you claim back ownership of those talents that you’ve been projecting outside yourself and nurture them from within as part of your ongoing personal development through time?
Watch the video and find out…
—-> If you’d like to view the video on the review page then just click here <—-
And embody the skills you already have even more to new and exciting levels with another simply complex piece of elegant change-work from Joergen Rasmussen.
A quick note for Trainers or would be trainers… Have you ever left a training buzzing about them and their skills as you aspire to be like them?
Then as you’ve got to know your trainer more you realised that some of the things you thought about them the opposite was just as true?
Then maybe felt let down or maybe even deceived???
Sometimes it’s all about the numbers and the intention is to take your money whilst keeping you hyped… Hindsight is always a great teacher…
After all they’re only human…
Just like YOU…
Enjoy Wayne

10 Minute Troubleshooting Tip of the week – Language Responsiveness (II)
Hi Everyone and welcome to the weekly 10 minute troubleshooting tips with myself Wayne Marsh & Joergen Rasmussen the author of the book ‘Provocative Hypnosis’…
These weekly audios are aimed at offering practical hints, tips and advice for both aspiring and seasoned change-workers.
This weeks Troubleshooting tip is part two of two and gives practical advice on how to utilise language with your clients for change. These tips are simple, practical and can help you create major shifts in your clients thinking and behaving in a very short space of time.
Again we encourage you not take our word for it because we’d like you to test the ideas and come back to us.
Next week we will be interviewing our cameraman that you may have saw hypnotically led to believe that the hallucinations, amnesia and a whole host of other phenomena were really just a 10 minute massage in a chair…
Keep tuned in to find out what happened afterwards and get his thoughts and insights to this fascinating realm…
Salman Rushdie once stated:
If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind.

Weekly Troubleshooting (Video) Hypnotically improving your vision…
Improving your vision ~ of what’s possible
In the following video you’ll see a real live demonstration of a hypnotic regression conducted with the ‘cameraman’ who was assisting at the Provocative Hypnosis Training in April 2011.
Previously mentioning his eyesight was poor in certain ways and expressed he’d be willing to explore some ‘phenomena’. There are a few amazing things in this video and for some I guess it may appear difficult to believe that this is actually ‘real’ for the person.
It was for me so I would have been with you at one time…
The reason I say that is I’ve been a BIG sceptic of Hypnotic Phenomena for a long time (especially when watching stage hypnosis). Throughout my NLP training hypnosis was never really introduced in the ways that as I’ve fine-tuned my training I’ve started discovering.
Now, In the video You’ll notice a variety of different phenomena being elicited and we’d like to offer it up as an invitation for you to explore and consider after watching:
What are some of the ways you could utilise this type of work?
What are the implications for change-work?
At the end of the video Joergen suggested amnesia for the work and then tests his suggestions. The person really believed they’d just had a 10 minute relax in a comfy chair. Moreover, we really tested the suggestions for the rest of the day or should I say I did and the next day…
The reason for me being so motivated to test the suggestions in pure fascination was that the ‘cameraman’ means quite a bit more to me than that….
It was my 16 year old step-son!!!
So myself and Joergen are really keen on opening up a discussion about this video and we’d really appreciate your comments and questions.
Levi had no idea that he’d got the capacity to change his world like that…
Until I showed him the video that your about to see!
For anyone with a new code/classic background that may have read Whispering in the wind or has a copy to hand you may like to refer to page 133 and John Grinders writing about ‘Maribeth’.
In short John recognizes that Maribeth is wearing contact lenses and utilizes hypnotic regression to enhance her eyesight.
Another statement taken from Whispering:
We are aware that with discipline, training and/or the use of hypnotic patterning it is possible to influence portions of ones physiology at levels well before FA. Development of this topic is well beyond the scope of this book. Whispering in the wind – footnote (5) page 46
1. How do you think the guy responded when I showed him the video a couple of
days later… hint, his response is very typical of the highly hypnotizable ?
2. What are the implications of this demo for change work…
How does hypnotizability factor into the mix ?
3. What pitfalls do you think its important to watch out for when people have
so much hypnotic capacity ?
4. For those with a “hypnosis as a state ” perspecitve… and for those with a more
socio cognitive “non state” perpective on hypnosis.. How do you make sense out of
this video and does it alter your current stance in any way?
5 : What does this video suggest, if anything, about the relationship between
personality traits and hypnotic capacity… and how is that relationship
relevant for change work ?
In a follow up to this and anticipating your questions I’ll be interviewing Levi and quite possibly some of the provocative Hypnosis participants so we can utilise this example as a method for learning to all involved.
Enjoy…

10 minute NLP & Hypnosis Troubleshooting (Simply profound shifts by tasking) ~ As easy as ABC
Hi Everyone and welcome to the weekly 10 minute troubleshooting tips with myself Wayne Marsh & Joergen Rasmussen the author of the book ‘Provocative Hypnosis’…
These weekly audios are aimed at offering practical hints, tips and advice for both aspiring and seasoned change-workers. Joergen has had his own private practice for over 13 years and I’m sure you’ll find some of his ideas, both groundbreaking and packed with nuances derived from years of being in the trenches, inspiring…
This weeks Troubleshooting tip offers a way of pre-tasking or after session tasking that can be utilised when working with clients who present themselves with anxiety or are depressing themselves… Rather than remaining passive in the process both client and trainer get active and get results that sometimes are more like profound shifts in thinking and behaving even before they step into your office…
We’d like to invite you to the idea (I for one was guilty at the beginnings of my NLP training) that some of the more seemingly simple tasks can help you get the most leverage with your clients…
Please enjoy and please test these ideas to the MAX in experience and hopefully feedback on your progress through time…
So please enjoy and here you go:

The Map is not the territory and YOU are not your labels (Part 1)
In 1933 Alfred Korzybski, a Polish Count and mathematician, published ‘Science and Sanity’ a thesis that discussed how we experience the world through our senses and use this external datum to build internal representations of the world within our brain. The thesis used the term ‘The Map Is Not the Territory’ to explain how the real world and the internalised perception are different.
“A map is not the territory it represents, but if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness”. What this means is that our perception of reality is not reality itself but our own version of it, or our “map”.
Alfred Korzybski
By Wayne Marsh ~ If you’ve ever frequented the London underground you may or may not find the tube map to be useful. Certainly on occasions I’ve found myself going in a variety of different destinations polar to my intentions. Now as I travel to London quite regular I’ve become accustomed to the map and can navigate on the tube with great effect. In fact sometimes I don’t have to check the map as the more I’ve learned the more knowledge I have of what to look for…
But the London Underground Map does not contain all the smells, sights and sounds of the London underground because its just a map and a useful way of navigating but as our Korzy says it’s not the territory.
Now I’m going to ask you to shift perspectives a little here and some of you who are familiar with the Map/territory distinctions may already be saying, “so what! same old distinctions repeated zillions of times please come up with something new for crying out loud”.
Others may be unfamiliar with the concept and want to delve a little more so let me have a go at offering up some other distinctions where I may cater for both parties…
You are not who you think you are…
Now that again may be old news to some but I’m carrying on regardless. If I said I’m a father then that would hold some weight in certain contexts of which I have fatherly duties and as you can imagine the same applies to teachers, trainers, Accountants etc. However, they are just random labels imposed on the constant flow of experience. In the constant flow of experience these labels have no value whatsoever, other that to carve experience up whilst we categorise information in our neurology…
It’s a game of probability very much like poker because you work out what you think you have against what your opponents may have whilst making a best ‘guess’ as to how accurate you may be…
So based on how we build our maps/models of the world through-time with a sprinkling of our inbuilt beleifs and values plays a HUGE part in what labels we find to make our judgements and either raise, call or fold… Maybe even push ALL IN..
Pretty cool stuff when you think about it and I’d like you to think briefly about how we create problems, issues or challenges because there’s a structure to how we do that.
As our Aussie Friend Rolf Harris would say… “Do You know what it is yet?” as he carried on painting his picture ready for the viewers to build up their interpretations of what his splashes of paint actually meant… Here we go again back to old Korzys Map/territory and here we splash a bit of meaning on the canvas or add a bit more paint so the picture emerges. BUT It only actually means something if we already have a reference point for it based on our experience. Then it still doesn’t mean anything really like what it actually is because we’d never be able to describe it fully as it’s only our interpretation. All our internal maps/models of the world are only partial and can never be full and that’s why the menu can never be the meal…
Why? Well for one our senses wouldn’t allow it and for two our language restricts our senses even more… Our nervous system is a complex thingymajig and it does a great job of filtering things down.
So without delving further down the rabbit hole just yet, here’s hoping I’ve peaked your interest enough to be curiously confused enough to gauge some kind of understanding you can build upon? If you read on and I’ll try to expand a little here.
Mental Poker for the mind. (Some experimentation)
Let’s say for example you’re walking down the road and you see a man with a green bomber jacket, Bleached Jeans, Doc Martin boots and a bald head covered in tattoos running up the street. As he’s caught your attention and curiosity you notice he’s running towards a man probably late 50′s who’s suited and booted with a briefcase, brolly and bowler hat… As our running man gets closer the other man turns around to see and an expression emerges across his face that looks to you like panic and instantaniously he pulls his briefcase tightly towards his torso and starts moving away…
What possibilities can you think of that could be happening at this particular moment in time?
Did you come up with a few different scenarios or did you conclude in your mind just the one?
Or do you hold multiple ideas of what could possibly be happening but as you think about it now one of them seems to pack the most punch?
Think back to how you took the words I wrote and formed them in your mind to create a scenario or scenarios.
What went off in your head?
Think about how you did it and then go back to your imagination and…
If you were to focus now on the tattoos what kind of tattoos can you see on the guys head… Pretty amazing huh?
Problems, issues, challenges or whatever you like to label them are very similarly created like what you just did… They are constructs of your imagination and the one that holds the most weight normally becomes the one we choose as the real illusion… Until we can challenge that illusion (of which there are many methods) we can hold certain illusions and carry them in our daily lives ‘as if’ they were the truth.
Einstien once said that the same thinking that created a problem cannot be used to get rid of it… In my mind he’s stating that the structure of the problem created is using the same structure to eliminate it and there’s where the looping or vicious circle begins…
And more often than not it’s not the problem that’s a problem but thinking in those loops make them so. I like to think of a problem as a gift that doesn’t come wrapped very well but once you’ve unpacked it you realise it wasn’t what you thought…
So… There are no such things as problems, issues or challenges in raw experience… Not even negation exists 
Our MAPS/MODELS of the world are created by a whole host of things as we navigate our way through life and its twists and turns. What’s a problem to one may be a learning opportunity for another and that’s all dependant on how we utilise our minds and our bodies to BE who we are… Now that’s a big problem for many… (Insert a mad scientists MUWAAAAHHHHHHHH here)…
And that’s YOU… Because whatever you think you are… You are… Are you not?
In part II i’ll be going a little deeper into PERSONAL FREEDOM and sharing some NEW things i’ve learned and hopefully via your feedback adding to the map/model of the world I’ve been creating for the last 35 years + VAT…
Now if you really want to see what the ‘skinhead’ did… here you go…
