I have been asked to write and do a guided meditation (group hypnosis) for 200+ :eek: entrepreneurs at an up coming seminar. They asked it to be something along the lines of “Reprogramming for Success”.. :p My nerves have kicked into high gear! LOL

Never done a group so large, but could mean a HUGE boost for my practice.:D



Wish me luck! LOL



All good things,

Sky

Quite obviously you are ready to do this, otherwise you would not have been approached.
Good Luck !
Keep us posted on the details.

Easiest group to work with Sky, so don't get you knickers in a knot.....Just relax and accept that each of them is glued to your every word once you step onstage, and will follow your lead no matter were you take em.... Nerves will kill you, but knowing how easy they are to control should make you feel more confident... After all, you too are an entrepreneur, and are being accepted as exceptional, since they are asking you to take the lead in their convention.
Good luck, Terry

Thank you BOTH... The number of people caught me a bit off guard... Deep breath, Sky…..
(Like I said to the dentist when he asked why I wanted Novocain, being a hypnotist... When was the last time you did dentistry on yourself? )

Friends :) yes ! - think of these *entrepeneurial*-folks simply as your Friends. In a
real way, both you & they are just *that*, right ?

You can transform the energy of "nerves" into
"happy anticipatory excitement" as you focus on *what/how* you can inspire them, as well as yourself, to succeed ! Play with that idea, and get ready for Fun, Sky :D

Forgive this un-related question : in my previous post, I penned encouraging words to Sky, choosing to Hi-light the word "friends" by coloring it in a *rainbow= rainbow*-like effect. Is this visible to Readers as well ? ... I thought of it as a wonderful gesture :) Annie

Good luck Sky! I'm sure you'll be fine! I hear you on the nerves bit though - I've just been asked to do a group PLR... That should be interesting! LOL Just trying to work out how to make it work now but think Ive figured out a fantastic method! :)

Sky,

Nerves huh? Weve all got them. Thats what makes it possible to walk, to talk, to think, even to feel. So what is it that your nerves are making you feel, when you close your eyes, and experience yourself in front of these 200 plus people.

Do you imagine yourself naked! Some people do. Some like it! Others dont. Do you imagine yourself there, and find everyone frowning like that third grade teacher who used to chill you so? Do you imagine yourself forgetting what you are supposed to say? Do all the people out there look like sabre toothed tigers, hungry ones?

Whew! I dont like it when my nerves make me feel that way, do you?

So how do I want my nerves to make me feel? Cause you and I both know that the nerves dont particularly care, one way or another, they are just doing their job.

Since I am not there yet, I can rehurse how I want to feel, I can decide how I want to unconsciously respond, when I look out there, at all those faces, and make it so.

So in my imagining, I definately want to see lots of faces, all of them looking up at me. And how do I want to feel when I see those faces? Do I want to be a tiger and they are food? Do I want to feel bathed in love and affection? Do I want to feel like a wise teacher, and they are eager students? Do I want to feel calm and relaxed, just as if I were in my most comfortable chair at home, in my living room, maybe in front of a nice crackling fire? Do I want to feel I have something valuable to impart, and I can do it easily, and they are wanting to know what I have to offer?

More like some bits of all the above. Yea some of all the above.

So Sky, can you put some combination of all those feelings together, and maybe some more really neat special ones, that you havent thought of yet, and see the faces and turn up the feelings, and see the faces and turn up the feelings and see the faces ... and keep doing that until when you see the faces you are automatically bathed in the feelings?

Just a little of practice and guess what?

Remember it is just imagination, and when practicing, since it is just imagination, you can feel whatever you want, just decide to rehurse the feelings you want as well as what you want to say, and we will have a hard time getting you off the stage!

That was 1 of your better posts :) : thoroughly *positively constructively encouraging* !

After being given, by *wholesome fun-loving people*, opportunities from age 15 onward of teaching 100's of people a myriad of skills, I can vouch for what Skip says about having a hard-time saying "Good-bye", at least for that time!

Inspiring each other is *fun* !

now, if I can just remember to *inspire myself* while practicing skills in the 3 contexts I am currently excited about learning too - that would be, additionally, great ! :)

Better be careful with your suggestions Skip, or Sky may walk out on stage, and see several hundred naked bodies as her audience. Don't know whether that would be offputting, or amusing, but it would certainly put one off stride. Terry

LOL... can I wait and see what the audience looks like before I decide?? :)

Terry,

You are right but only in imagination.

I have worked with nudist groups and honestly the 'novelty' wears off very quickly. In fact, after just a bit, it is the people in clothes who look odd.

The important thing is to rehurse your neurology, really well. You really can decide exactly how you want to feel.

See the people, hear yourself being intorduced, feel yourself walking out on stage, and feel the feelings you have picked out, that you want to feel. Do it exactly that way, enough times, and you wont have to think about it, your unconscious will get the idea, and it will make sure you feel what you chose to feel.

Sky you might want to add in how you want to feel responding to questions, and how you want to feel, as the people crowd around you, asking for business cards and appointments. :)

Hear the question, feel what you want to feel.
