Power Hypnosis Course– A Student’s Perspective
I, along with a number of other students, was fortunate enough to attend Rick’s first ‘Power Hypnosis Course’. The course was conducted at a new training venue and the venue was, in my humble opinion, much better than the State Library. While not as central as the Library, the location provides free parking and a much better atmosphere.
I had spoken to Rick before the course started and he had told me that this course was focussed on getting back to the fundamentals of hypnosis in the same way that the early masters had done. We spent the first day focussing on the methods and explanations of Baird and Esdaile and this served to give us a very good understanding of what they did, how they did it and just how effective it was. This was good background. Personally I was impressed by the depth of knowledge that Rick has acquired and this was demonstrated by his understanding of their techniques, how the techniques were applied and just how monumentally successful these techniques were in achieving deep (and effective) trance.
The second day of the course encompassed demonstrations of the applications of magnetism techniques and then the students were given the opportunity to practice, practice and more practice. This was both amazing and enlightening – amazing from the perspective of just how easy and effective the techniques are and enlightening to know that we all had the ability to effect very quick, very deep trance in a short time frame.
Everyone is well aware of Rick’s teaching abilities but what was particularly noteworthy was the way that Rick researched, tested, proved and incorporated these techniques. Throughout the course I was struck by the passion that Rick showed for this topic and that only served to provide the students with a better learning experience.
Probably the biggest hurdle that the students needed to overcome was developing the understanding of just how easy, simple and effective the techniques are. It was never the intention to use these techniques as they were originally intended - to perform complex surgical procedures and operations, however using the magnetists’ approach and coupling that with hypnotherapy practices serves to provide the hypnotherapist with greatly enhanced skills, impressive abilities and far more productive outcomes. Just to prove that it is effective though, Rick happily entranced and ‘pinned’ a couple of the students (see photo).
In summary, I think that the Power Hypnosis course was absolutely fantastic and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who has completed the Certificate Course and achieved some practice. It definitely adds another string to the bow and this is a very powerful bow!
