A guided self-hypnosis course
to help you discover your own ability to overcome chronic pain
The HypnoBooks
are a brilliant new development of image-based, self-help courses
Viewing the DVD quietly, safely in your own home, you can build up your skills of memory and imagination. These are the tools you need to invisage and then create a new outlook on your life. This is a self-administrated, self-help course to help you change the conscious and unconscious blockages that may be stopping you from living the life you want.
Firstly the HypnoBook manuals help you plan the course of your new life rising above the distraction of pain. Then the trance-inducing DVD allows you to settle this chosen course into your unconscious and so fully resource yourself for the changes you want. The gentle hypnotic images providing self-help in an enjoyable and entertaining format.
How
this program works
Rising above Pain is a unique program that combines the
healing principles of focussed self-awareness and the power to make positive
changes to your unconscious mind. The research, psychological theory and principles
upon which the program is based recognise that you already have an array of
personal resources to manage pain.
These personal resources include the natural ability to relax and an
ability to choose what you pay attention to. This program will help
you enhance these tools.
Pain is intrusive and disruptive. When it becomes chronic, pain dominates
our thinking and feeling. Trying to cope with it takes up all our time and
energy. The energy our body produces is a precious, yet limited resource.
We need to understand how to make best use of this wonderful energy.
Medically prescribed and self-prescribed pain relieving medications can lose
their effectiveness in the medium to long term, resulting in the need to take
even stronger drugs. This can become an endless path, as our body becomes
increasingly accustomed to the drugs, undermining their effectiveness. Fortunately,
there are other approaches available for overcoming pain that can shift the
control back into your hands.
This course offers the techniques to methodically establish, reinforce and
achieve your goals to rise above pain.
Together, book and DVD combine to provide you with the tools to begin the
road to successfully attaining the full enjoyment of your life.

Introduction
from Chapter 1
The experience of pain, especially chronic pain, draws
upon our physical, emotional and spiritual energies, energies that could be
better spent on enjoying and expanding our lives. Feeling controlled by our
experience of, and ineffectual responses to pain is no longer neccessary.
This program uses a potent set of techniques including some drawn from NeuroLinguistic
Programming, guided imagery, cognitive restructuring and the teaching of self-hypnosis
to help you to learn to discover and achieve comfort and ease from your current
experiences of pain.
It also includes a revolutionary new development. For the first time, the
known ability of moving images on a screen to focus attention is harnessed
in this way for therapeutic ends to increase your ability to learn and use
self-hypnosis.
Why
use a DVD?
Moving images on a screen together with the spoken word are known to be a powerful hypnotic medium. Millions of people for a hundred years now have gone to the movies and willingly suspended their belief in a public yet very private place and let their imaginations soar. You can respond to and weave many messages on many levels through the flow of images and words. And that’s why there is a DVD component to this program.
The
images in the DVD / video are of small birds coming to a suspended feeding
bowl. The everyday, simple activity of the feeding blends in and out with
their other life of sweeping through the sky. The guiding, spoken words are
mixed with a very slow natural heartbeat that in turn blends with a gently
pulsing, tidal water sparkle. These softly pulsing ripples float in and out
with the natural intervals of deep, refeshing sleep.
This program will teach you to recognise, extend and actually enjoy applying
skills you already have. It will help you to learn new skills and enjoy applying
these. With this learning you can have a sense of mastery over your pain and
over the management of your life.
As part of this process, the program will teach you how you can reconstruct
your habitual ways of operating, to make your life more satisfying.
