It's fascinating to me how much information is missed the first time around when reading a really great book on hypnosis/hypnotherapy.
Today in trance-FORMATIONS there was a page from a seminar about negatives in hypnosis. I remember the language patterns from basic NLP training but I did not remember reading it the way it was written in the book pertaining to hypnosis. I'm finding it useful to go back and re-read before I pick up any more new. May start re-watching DVD's and listening to CD's too.
Anyone else doing this or have done this?

Chris Hall goes into this in some depth on Trainer Training and as i'm fascinated with language and the written/spoken word it really resonated with me...
There are mechanisms inside the language performance system that are different from the language comprehension system. Understanding of language is a different system from production of language and they are not even learned at the same rate. What you understand and what you can say are not the same thing...
By for example talking about what you have been learning or in this example (re-reading and reflecting) you take the opportunity to process information again from another perspective. So you have an existing knowledge base that you now have recoded, (reorganised) your experience. When you go back and re-evaluate you put that previous knowledge through a whole different process at a different logical level... COOL...
She took us back to the NLP pre-suppositions and went into some depth into explaining about some of them in a variety of different ways... And this lead to a much more profound sense because as we re-iterated over them in this way we rechunked with language performance. Your abilities to understand become more profound...
Now, you have a new understanding about what you already understood... At other levels because by going through this process it becomes real in other way/s... Leading to building more creativity and flexibility...
That's why my entire personal history is such a valuable resource... And books and everyday experience and sometimes...
Even the original pre-suppositions because you can visit them with new frames of reference and gather some gold from time to time...

have written great accolades about her. Obviously they are true from what you just wrote. I was going to go to NLP 'Trainer's Training" with her but (one of my favorite little words) that training was in Alaska and I would have had to travel 18 hours by plane four times. I can be in sunny Florida in a few hours. Chris Hall is also Society of NLP so all my Licenses would be valid.
Maybe some day she will join us in the lower 48 states.
Stay well my friend~Pood
To comment on the idea of learning new things when re-reading: Yes, it happens all the time. My analogy is that the mind is, in this instance, like a computer. Reading a book is like entering raw data. You have to push some keys and give it time to compute.
After it computes the raw data, you get new ways and new understandings about that information. You change unconscious knowing into conscious knowings, triggered by the re-reading.
Learning is context and state dependent, it seems. If you re-read, you have changed the context (maybe the state, also), but it is also true that in really good books, and there are not many of them, important, fundamental points are clearly important and fundamental.

When I read a book I am definately tranced.
Then I ask my 'unconscious' to reread and to integrate in different contexts the learnings in the book while I sleep and dream. To envision scenerios where I will use the learnings fully. etc.
And I will re read later as well.

u r soooo very "Miltonie". Actually, one of my fav quotes from him. You will find it on my website. ...Tonight you will dream. You may have mild dreams. You may have wild dreams. Your dreams may be memorial or not. In any case, let that be a sign you are integrating everything ... :love:
