Forty-seven people were killed in mass murders in the US in less than 30 days this year. Everyone is looking for reasons and to make sense of these tragic events because we all cope better with catastrophic events if we can make some sense of them or find safety for ourselves and our loved ones. Otherwise, terrible events seem out of control, overwhelming, and terrifying.

We must study and understand mass murders to prevent future ones from happening. Research shows that there is not one thing that pushes a person over the edge into violence and murder, but multiple risk factors and stressors and few or ineffective coping skills.

If someone feels she is chronically treated as inferior, she can believe she has no value, can be disconnected from people, and may be fueled by a growing rage against those who have treated her badly. This can happen at various developmental stages in life.

In infancy, a rejection by a parent can lead to problems in attachment, which can be a factor in child development of communication, personal and interpersonal skills. Attachment problems are associated with many forms of later violence and murder.

Children can be traumatized in early childhood by abuse and neglect and exposure to domestic or community violence. Adolescents can have an exaggerated striving for independence when rejected by peers, bullied, failing in school, and or rejected by family.

In adulthood, someone who is unsuccessful in moving toward a partner relationship, has conflicted relationships, is unsuccessful at work or loses his or her job, can feel he is inferior to others. This rejection (called recognition denial) can be associated with anger, rage, and lack of strong attachment bonds to family, school, work, or community. It has been associated with violence and murder in a study by Timothy Brezina (2008).

What happens if someone is rejected as a child by an abusive family and rejected by peers because of bullying or because he is different and has difficulty maintaining employment as an adult? If he feels that he is being treated as inferior, recognition denial and rage can take place.

Some examples of rejection and feelings of inferiority reported by mass murderers readily come to mind: Mass Murderers, Seng-Hui Cho, the Unibomber, the Columbine shooters, and Golden and Andrews. More recently, it is alleged that Jiverly Wong killed 14 in NY. It is reported that he had been fired from his job, was depressed, and felt people made fun of him because he did not speak English well.

Seng-Hui Cho had trouble communicating, had obvious mental health problems from an early age, and thought people made fun of him. He killed 32 and wounded 25 at Virginia Tech. James Harrison allegedly murdered his 5 children and then himself following a fight with his wife, in which she left him. Child Protective services had been called several times to this home due to the father’s yelling and screaming at the children.

It appears that all of these mass murderers felt they were treated as inferior, had major stressors and ineffective coping skills. Additionally, there were signs of trouble long before these terrible events took place.

Violence occurs when risk factors are many, resiliency factors are few and/or stressors exceed one’s ability to cope. There are many combinations of risk and resiliency factors, as well as stressors and coping skills (or lack thereof) that can lead to violence.

In these difficult economic times, losing a job is a huge stressor for most. For those with multiple stressors whose coping is compromised, it can be overwhelming. If violence was modeled by the person’s childhood caregivers as a way to solve problems and control others, the results can be horrific.

Every mounting stressor pushes the person to the tipping point. Are they to be excused? Is there no accountability? Not at all, we have a criminal justice system for that. But while they are under the direction of the Court, multiple resources are needed to keep such violence from happening again. Unless something changes within the person, it is likely that violence will happen again. Good coping skills are essential to avoiding using violence as a way to deal with problems.

Children who experience trauma sometimes have delays in the development of coping skills. So they may operate with less successful coping. Stressors can more easily exceed their ability to cope. If not altered, this lack of appropriate coping can last into adulthood. Someone can step in to increase the coping skills and/or decrease stress and if it is successful, a child can veer from the path of violent rage against a world that has seemingly rejected him.

It is possible that the help and support to build skills and cope with stressors can come anywhere in the lifespan. However, it is also more likely that it is easier to build necessary skills in children. This will cause their later life experiences to be more positive and confidence building. One success builds upon another.

So what needs to be done? Where ever or whenever, it is apparent that a child, teen, or adult’s stressors routinely exceed their ability to cope, especially in cases of child abuse, neglect and domestic violence, there need to be services to resolve old trauma, increase feelings of competence and well-being, and teach appropriate coping skills. Whether someone with a history of violence is in jail or the community, these skills need to be taught to prevent future violence.

These are skills that should have been learned during the 18 years of childhood and adolescence. A six week course in anger management will not make up for those lost years of skill building. It may take several years for adults to heal from trauma and learn good interpersonal and problem solving coping skills.

It is this writer’s opinion that assessment for the need for long term interventions to build skills should be legally mandated for any person convicted of any form of violence or committed to a mental health facility as a danger to self or others. This can be done in jail or the community, but must be done.

It is also important that youth who commit violence have a similar assessment for dangerousness to the community and treatment needs. The cycle of violence often goes from generation to generation, while we build more prisons and have one of the highest violence rates in the industrialized world. We can reverse the trend and interrupt the cycle of violence and murder.

There is no doubting the power of hypnosis. It is also well documented that we are all able to use hypnosis techniques on ourselves to great effect. There are various courses, tapes, instruction manuals out there to help us apply these techniques in our own lives.

One example, is a course that Dr Joe Vitale, author and part creator of the secret calls it ‘breath taking’ and says that he had never seen anything as powerful or complete, before in his life. This truly amazing the material is taken from the god father of hypnosis, Milton Erickson. Even before his death no one except licensed doctors and psychologists were allowed access to his methods and recorded knowledge. Milton had a very real sense of the incredible damage someone could cause if it this information was used for anything other than good intentions.

Well, Igor Ledochowski, another master hypnotist with international acclaim, managed to decode the great master’s methods and to great result. These forms of hypnosis are so powerful that you can put someone under full hypnosis just by talking to them. It may sound unreal, but if you have ever used hypnotherapy and the positive results it can achieve, you would understand and, no doubt, be slightly afraid of this product.

This is just one example of teachings that enable every one of us to benefit from hypnosis in our own lives. Paul Mckenna’s range of CD’s is another, highly popular example of ‘use at home’ resources. This brand of hypnosis aims to cure phobias, build confidence or break bad habbits.

The life story of Jack Gibson is a further example of the fact that hypnosis has been used to great effect for many years. He documented the power of hypnosis through a number of books written about how he personally employed hypnosis. Jack Gibson was the first British surgeon to use it in standard practice in the UK. He, too, created self help tapes and books explaining the power of hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy has played quite a vital role on several occassions in my life. Hypnosis saved the life of my girlfriend when she was literally dying from a truly debilitating illness and needed to find the will to live. Slowly, but surely she made progress in her treatment and she is clear that the turning point was hypnosis.

What we are dealing with here is truly great and fascinating; if the power of the mind can alter matter itself, then surely we are truly nearing our full potential as human beings.

Whilst the potential power of hypnosis to heal should not be taken lightly, we should never walk away from any opportunity that allows us the chance to be all that we can possibly be. The potential power here is not what we should fear. It does allow us to manifest in our lives that which we want, be it healing or success. Instead we should embrace the potential it offers and fear only the intentions of those using it!

I am a young man learning about my power in this life. I have learned alot and has brought me countless blessings and showed me truth. I only hope to share my findings and the blessing bestowed on me through my findings.

Conversational Hypnosis is an art that takes a certain set of skills in order to master. These skills are quite attainable when the correct instruction and study of hypnosis has been focused on.

Conversational hypnosis is the practice of inducing hypnotic trances through the focused skills learned in language, speech and suggestion. The primary objective is to induce a trance in order to accomplish a motivated outcome or reach a specific purpose; for example ease emotional pain, enhance health, and lead a happier life.

The skills most required of you as the hypnotist are to master a signal recognition system, develop a relationship with your subject beyond rapport, learn the foundations of hypnotic language and advanced hypnotic language, develop authority strategies, recognize emotional triggers, destroy resistance as well as become skilled in conversational induction, conversational trance formulas and advanced frame control.

All of these skills will help you attain the highest level of success in conversational hypnosis and achieve a better life for your subjects as well as for yourself.

Signal recognition systems are the foundation in hypnosis training from which you will start to see when a subject is entering a hypnotic trance. These skills will aide you in opening your senses to the signs given by your subject when becoming hypnotized.

Signal recognition will save you time in that you will be able to quickly asses when your subject is in trance instead of using unnecessary time to talk you subject into hypnosis. You will learn to see, hear and feel when people are responding to you hypnotically.

This skill will also allow you to see those around you moving in and out of hypnotic trances produced everyday by their environments. The signal recognition system is important to master and continue to study as it is a core fundamental skill you will use throughout your study and practice of hypnosis.

Everyday we develop rapport with people, friends, family and strangers. In conversational hypnosis it is important to learn to move on beyond the normal constraints of typical rapport and to develop deeper relationships with your subjects.

In hypnosis you and your subject are developing an intimate relationship that allows you as the hypnotist into your subjects mind, to understand and ultimately control certain thoughts through suggestion and language.

In order to accomplish this you must go beyond rapport and embody an intense connection that allows your subject the unconscious freedom to do something simply because it pleases them to please you.

This can be considered an abnormal or skewed relationship in that the subject allows you into their world and will follow your lead through the conversations, language and suggestions you give to them. This is a very powerful and unique connection.

Conversational hypnosis is just that, there is an art to the language you as the hypnotist need to master. Part of this skill is found in hypnotic language foundation and advanced hypnotic language. The main idea is that conversational hypnosis is attained through language.

You need to learn how to shape the conversation you are having with your subject in a way that makes the words you speak themselves hypnotic, causing your subjects mind to set off into hypnotic state that responds to you in hypnotic ways. This skill should get strong focus from you as you master hypnosis techniques.

In the language you use for hypnosis you will also want to develop your authority strategy. Authority strategy is a tactic that is required in order to be a successful hypnotist.

It allows you to phrase suggestions in a way that the conscious mind of your subject responds, without this skill you will not be able to attain your goals as a hypnotist.

The authority strategy gives your subject the will and wants to carry out your hypnotic suggestions, if you are not the authority within their trance the subject will not listen to your suggestions. This skill is fundamental as it will be a large piece of the puzzle that will aide in your success as a hypnotist and allow you to achieve your goals in hypnotism.

Emotional triggers are the way to your subjects unconscious responses, once you learn to control emotional triggers you will have the power to control the pictures and feelings that govern a subjects mind and ultimately change their life.

This skill will give you access to pictures and feelings from within your subjects mind. As you perfect this skill you will be able to be able to alter feelings that lead to a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life for your subject. This will aide in your objective to create rewarding and wonderful happiness for those who attain your services.

In conversational hypnosis there is often resistance and this brings us to the next fundamental skill you will need to acquire. How you as the hypnotist will destroy this resistance, the most popular way being through the telling of stories.

Destroying resistance through story telling involves you becoming the story teller to bypass the minds usual filtering systems that tell a person, “this is not right”, or “this cant be happening”. Once you have mastered story telling that will create a hypnotic trance you will be allowed into your subjects mind to place new ideas, perceptions and thoughts dealing with their lives and how they ultimately live them.

Conversational hypnosis will require you to also learn how to deal directly with the unconscious mind; this is done through conversational inductions. This concept is a way to formulate how to induce a trance through conversation, the real core of conversational hypnosis.

Conversational induction will provide you with the skill of moving from normal speech into a conversational hypnotic induction with ease. In doing this you will then be dealing directly with the unconscious mind of your subject which is what your job as a hypnotist is ultimately all about.

This technique will teach you to mold conversation that sounds completely ordinary to others into something much more intense for you and your subject; this in itself will take a grand amount of understanding and skill.

Conversational trance formulas are paramount in the art of hypnosis. These are formulas that will get you exactly where and what you want from your subject. Getting your subject into a trance come very easily to you but then where do you go from there, this is where conversational trance formulas are required.

The formulas consist of the P-CAT formula, which is used for personal change in a subject. This is handy for those rough days, bad times in relationships and even when ending a relationship.

The COMILA formula is used mainly for persuading and influencing people. This formula is helpful to people in their professions such as influencing an individual to want to learn, sales, education, management as well as for general inspiration.

Next in the list of helpful formulas is the LIFE checklist. This is a checklist developed to help you know you are actually engaged in a hypnotic conversation. The LIFE check list consists of four steps that will help you identify quickly and efficiently that hypnosis is underway.

Conversational hypnosis will also require you to master such techniques as “future memories” and “stacking realities”. Future memories are memories you place in your hypnotized subjects mind that have not taken place yet.

The goal is that they will become memories as the subjects unconscious brings them to their conscious mind as events that have already happened. The art in this is to make the future memory so compelling that the unconscious mind will want the memory to have happened and eventually follow your suggestion to make the memory a real instance that has happened in the past.

“Stacking realities” and “accidental trance identification” are other techniques that help hypnotists to slip past the resistance and interference within a subjects mind that prevent hypnosis.

Advanced frame control will also be paramount to master. This is the art of leading all your hypnotic interactions in the direction you desire. Without this skill you will not be able to control the direction of conversation, hampering your goal of creating a more peaceful, happy, healthy mindset for your subjects. All of these strategies, once mastered, will help you in the ease of your conversational hypnosis.

There are many exciting and great skills involved in becoming a successful conversational hypnotist, while this information may seem overwhelming at first it is just a taste of the powerful skills that you will enjoy perfecting as you assume your role as a hypnotist.

Once mastered many of these skills will provide you with a life time of learning and development personally and professionally, as well as help you to change lives for the better.

It is time that we re-examined the dictums that say a symptom can never be removed unless the cause is understood and the unconscious background of symptom-complexes must be made conscious and understood before a cure is effected.

There are many positive thinking groups functioning in the religious field.

Many of these religious groups are in existence primarily because of the dynamic philosophy or psychology they offer for every day living. Couple this with a strong faith in God, and you have a combination which approaches infallibility. Recently we have had a series of best-selling books which expound this very theme. Does it work? Of course it does when used properly.

You can be sure that there has been criticism of this religious psychology. The criticism is that the basic causes of the problem are never dealt with and the unconscious conflict is not resolved. It’s the same argument over and over again. What about the people helped? They seem to have made tremendous strides and are leading lives as well adjusted as anyone else. Once imbued with this spirit or feeling of well-being, it permeates every phase of their relationships in a constructive manner.

The only reason that there isn’t more criticism is that this type of psychotherapy is incorporated into the religious tenets of these groups, and criticizing another man’s religion makes the detractor’s entire philosophy unacceptable. I am strongly in favor of these groups because I would prefer having a religion that keeps pointing out the positive side of life and that “life can be beautiful” if you put your faith in God and practice positive thinking. It is certainly better than the cynical philosophy of its detractors or the grim religions which stress punishment. Think of the guilt feelings involved in the latter. No one can live up to such a formidable creed.

Of course, if you suggest to positive thinking, religious individuals that they are using a form of self-hypnosis, they will emphatically deny and debate the issue. Since we are primarily interested in mental hygiene and not in winning a debate, it is well to leave the matter as it stands. The point to keep in mind is that so long as a person feels that this methodology is the answer to his needs and so long as no one is being hurt by his belief, I feel he should cling to his conviction. He should not allow it to be destroyed by those who are thinking in different semantic terms.

I would like to bring up another common example pertaining to the two basic concepts that we have been discussing. It is the example of the many individuals who have taken public speaking courses to overcome stage fright.

In most cases, the person involved hasn’t had too much opportunity to be a public speaker. Because of this, he suddenly feels he may not say the right thing or forget what he wants to say. This anxiety can create the very situation or block that he fears. What is the solution? Certainly not psychoanalysis to find out why he functions the way he does.

You could use this approach, but I don’t think it’s the most constructive one. It is like asking, “What am I doing that’s wrong?” instead of “What can I do that’s right?” The most constructive approach is to take a course of instruction to get the actual practice and experience in the techniques of public speaking.

Before proceeding further, I believe it is necessary to point out that I am not just being critical of the convictions of other sincere and dedicated individuals engaged in the field of mental hygiene. It is always good to re-evaluate our present thinking on any subject, no matter how sincere or convinced we may be that what we are doing is correct. At times, we can become so immersed in our convictions that we cannot take criticism and respond emotionally to ideas or
interpretations that do not coincide with logical thinking.

What, then, is the answer to mental health problems? There is no single answer. It is a very complex situation. There are many promising drugs and treatments which, if adequately developed and widely used, could do a great deal toward promoting good mental health. Fundamentally, the problem will always be that of trying to understand human behavior and helping those in distress with an efficacious formula.

What is that formula? I believe hypnosis can contribute in part to the answer. Needless to say, hypnosis is contraindicated in many emotional problems because of the very nature of the problem itself. Some emotional difficulties must first be worked out on a conscious level. After this, hypnosis can be instrumental in achieving the final goal.

Dr. Frank S. Caprio, a prominent psychiatrist, in his book, _Helping Yourself with Psychiatry_, states the following: “A whole new world of self-confidence and positive living is open to every person, young and old, through hypnosis, self-hypnosis and self-suggestion or
auto-hypnosis.”

John Hubert is an avid researcher of hypnosis. He highly recommends you visit the guide on How To Hypnotize Someone, which offers a simple 6 step explanation on how to hypnotize almost anyone you meet. John Hubert also runs a site on covert hypnosis.

When you want to strengthen your muscles, you lift weights. If you want to improve the concentration and focus of your mind, then you need to work out and exercise your brain. The correct brain exercises will improve the way your brain works and develop better focus and concentration.

As we age, we may lose the ability to concentrate, but brain exercises can improve concentration even in older people. Brain exercises are excellent tools for people of any age who would like to strengthen their mind!

Here are some great brain exercises that can help you build your brain:

1. Do some crossword puzzles. Not only are crossword puzzles a lot of fun, but they can help improve your concentration. Relying on your long-term memory and trying to solve tough questions help stimulate the brain.

* Taking only 15 minutes daily to work on crossword puzzles can benefit you.

* To keep a fresh supply of puzzles handy, you can buy a crossword puzzle book, check your daily newspaper, or look online to find them for free.

2. Changing your daily routine challenges your brain to do something that’s outside your comfort zone. This can strengthen your problem solving abilities.

* Consider changing things by taking a different route to work one morning and then finding another on your way home.

3. Try Sudoku puzzles. These are number placement puzzles based on logic. You complete a 9×9 grid so that each row and each column only has numbers that range from 1-9. Within the grid, in each 3×3 block, a number can only be used once. Most definitely challenging!

* These puzzles are often found in daily newspapers, printed books, and online.

4. Eat foods that help your brain. Your brain will stay healthy and function at its best if nourished with nutritious foods.

* Proteins are great for the brain, and may be found in cheeses, meats, fish, and milk.

* Complex carbohydrates are important as well, and these carbs come from fruits, vegetables, and grains.

* The brain needs some fat, so don’t shy away from healthy oils like olive oil or fish oils.

* Eat foods that include omega-3s, such as trout, salmon, and tuna, which are oily fish. Some nuts contain these fats as well and are healthy food for the brain.

5. Start a new hobby. Trying a new hobby is another way to expand your interests and use your brain to learn something new. Being busy and learning new things expand the way the brain thinks and gets you out of a rut.

* Join a local club or take a class at a hobby store or community college.

Challenging yourself and improving brain function is something that any person can do. Young and old alike can enjoy and benefit from these great techniques. Get your whole family in on the fun!

Make just one change today to stimulate your brain. You won’t notice any drastic changes overnight, but with time and practice, eventually you’ll find that you can finish puzzles quicker, solve problems more easily, and enjoy improved concentration and focus.
