Anchors Away: Anchoring and Trigger Response Conditioning (22:41, 8 megs.). In this episode, we look at the NLP process of Anchoring and see how it is different in some ways and similar in others to Hypnotic Trigger Response Conditioning with a peek at where the concepts come from in the history of classical and associative behavioral conditioning. I also explain the differences between overt explicit conditioning and covert implicit conditioning processes. Finally, we go through a simple anchoring based guided imagery process to demonstrate the process. Yes, the example I use in the "test" your anchor part of the is intended to be playful.

Magick Carpet Ride (13:07, 4.6 megs.). This episode is a straightforward guided imagery in which you imagine you have found a magick carpet which flies over the landscape on a special journey. Feel free to post positive comments and responses at Life of Brian or at Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams. New and past episodes here. Subscription link for your podcatcher here.

Swishy, Swishy, Swish, Swish, Swish (14:29, 5.1 megs). In this episode, I explain and demonstrate the structure of the Swish Pattern from Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). This is one of the older NLP patterns and uses both associated and dissociated states and swishes them together to form a powerful unconsciously driven compulsion for change. The pattern itself is an oldie, but a goldie. The demonstration portion of the explanation is setup to allow listeners to run the pattern themselves for their own behaviors, responses, or issues they wish to change. Feel free to leave positive feedback and responses at Life of Brian or the usual places. New and past episodes here. Subscription link for your podcatcher here.

I have set up the next hypnocast and you should be getting it when the clock ticks . . . when I upload new hypnocasts, they are set to automatically be podcast Sunday at 01:00 (that's 1am). That happens to be a completely different time zone from where I live though . . . for instance, my time, right now . . . it is Sept. 11, at about 1:11pm . . . so let's see when libsyn says it's posted. - Brian

The subscription link for the hypnocast was malformed in a number of my posts at Life of Brian . . . should be fixed now so folks can enjoy the podcast. Sheesh. - Brian

Through the Gate into Tarot (24:41, 8.7 megs.). Here we go. The premiere post for the Brian David Phillips Hypnocast is an explanation and guided imgery for a process adapted from a technique I use that empolys deep trance identification involving the Tarot which I have taught in a number of web-based seminars. This new process is one that I have developed out of that as well as some other ideas I've had floating around a bit. It is an introspective meditation process using a deck of Tarot cards that involves a three card draw (guide card, grounding card, and catalyst card) which are then combined in an experiential trance process. Feel free to comment upon this epsisode, the process and the positive effect you get from it, or the hypnocast in general either by dropping me an email or commenting here or at Life of Brian or at Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams.

I am tweaking the auto delivery dates and times for the episodes that have been finished and uploaded (we'll be doing the "Throught the Gate into Tarot" process first episode and "Swishy Swishy Swish Swish Swish" as an explanation and demonstration of the NLP Swish Pattern for the second episode. I wanted to set these to autopost at Noon on Sunday . . . it seems the Libsyn clock is not the same as mine so I'll check again after the world turns a bit to see if they've posted away.
