good muscle tone, relaxed mind.

Accomplished in many different ways.

Yes.
Depending on what specifically you want.
It can be dangerous though.
So be careful.

TIME DISTORTION! Your mind has already learned how to do it so well. All we have to do is show you how to use it at the right times. Cool, huh? Pood ;)

A.) When you are bored or paying little attention to the "outside" time slows down .
B.) when you are having fun time seems to go faster (i use to use this technique at work to make the day go faster; creating rapport = fun)
C.) practice makes perfect so practice the qaulity you wish to have often.
D.) What i gathered from reading this forum, hypnosis can change most to all qualities of the mind that effect our daily lives unless it is physically caused by the structure of our biology.

Contrary to popular belief, the belief that "practice makes perfect" is totally wrong and easily demonstrably false.

If you are learning to play a piece at the piano and practice it incorrectly for hours every day and for several weeks, you will not suddenly have a perfect version of the piece. All you will have done is learn how to play the piece incorrectly.

Practicing something doesn't guarantee you will perfect it. The only way to perfectly learn something is to correctly practice it. The correct version of the saying should be "Only perfect practice makes perfect."

If you practice playing an incorrect piece over and over again will you not perfect playing it imperfectly? notice also I said after after "practice makes perfect" ; "so practice the qaulity you wish to have", if he wished to be imperfect and practice being imperfect then he would get that, if he wished to be perfect and practiced being perfect, then he would get that instead.

Don, what about people who practice incorrectly and still produce results?

I have been playing violin for quite some years and was taking the "correct learning path" because I had a competent teacher. And you might guess what the results were :)

But I am sure that you are aware that learning it the "right" way isn't the only way to bring beautiful sounds from a violin.

For example it's commonly known that most of gypsies can't read notes nor do they have the correct posture. All of this as a result of learning style...
But does that restrain them from playing violin? From playing it really good?

I believe that certain learning styles produce fast results and some really slow (it's however common sense that some learning styles are plain rubbish) . But generally speaking any learning style will bring you somewhere... Depending on a person some adjust their behaviors better then others.

So I believe that this is due the fact that most of us are able to distinguish when something is working and when it isn't. Knowing that the learning style is just a part of an equation.

Simon, I never said there was only one way to do something correctly! :D

Take my class next summer and you'll have it. Sometimes I teach it to my clients. How cool is that? Pood :D
