Automatic Writing

One could easily practice the techniques of automatic writing. The only thumb rule to be kept in mind is that the questions should be pertaining to the present and not the future like. 'Will I become a doctor?' when the subject has no aptitude or desire to do hard work to achieve the goal he may not reap a very encouraging answer. Even insignificant questions like, 'When will I die?' will bear no fruitful answer. All questions should be about the present, 'Are my current meditations in tune with my spiritual growth? How can I become more useful to this world? 'What are the hobbies and interest I should pursue?', etc.

Pendulum: Pendulum could be made of acrylic, brass or crystal It is a useful tool to communicate with our subconscious mind. The pendulum could be stringed at one end and programmed as under:

The pendulum should be kept in hand and swung vertically and one should mentally repeat 'yes', 'yes', 'yes'... 10 times. The resource for the pendulum is your subconscious mind and hence what is in the subconscious only will answer correctly otherwise it will give wrong readings.

Pendulums can be used for:

• Selecting medicines good for you and others. A very useful tool for homeopaths as it helps them to select best out of many logical choices.
• Knowing the condition of the patient.
• Finding directions like east, west, north, south.
• Finding energies in different places of the house. Useful tool for Vastu/Feng Shui and for people who use it for correcting energies in different corners and locations.
• Selecting the right life partner or business associate.

It is important to note that answers given by pendulum are only indicative and all logical procedure need to be followed for taking the final decision.

Past Life Regression : The very thought of regressing into the past may seem scary to many. Subconscious mind has a permanent memory of events that have occurred either in this life or in the previous lives. The conscious mind rejects most of the happenstance save those that are major or traumatic, that leave more or less a permanent scar on the subconscious. You may have noticed that there are some people whom you meet for the first time and you abhor them for no known reason. Here the subconscious mind remember some incident relating to that person and triggers the signal of non-acceptance or dislike. Even the reverse happens that is some people whom you meet might instantly become your friends. They might have been your friends from the past lives and the subconscious has been able recognize to them. Past life regression is a journey back in time in the present life or past life using the power of your subconscious to basically change our perception of life. This is an enlightenment process to understand who we are and the deeper meaning in being incarnated being in this body. It is an audiovisual experience in which we see a set of scenes and sounds or even feel certain feelings related to the past of this life or past lives. This becomes possible due to the superior intelligence of the subconscious and also its willingness to view these incidences.

Generally, past life regression is used for traumatic and unusual experiences that have no logic or medical experiences.

A word of caution here is that the subject is bound to view these events as real experience at the physical level. It will certainly help the subject if the Hypnotherapies says that the event is being viewed by the subject as a witness and not as a victim.

Regression therapy is a specialized job and unless the hypnotist is experienced he should not even try it.

Similar to the past life regression it is also possible to go into future life regression. Some people argue that it could basically be our imagination but the fact remains that our mind cannot even imagine what is not possible. Had it not been for the imagination of the Wright brothers there would have been no airplanes today. As per Albert Einstein, 'There is no past, no future; everything is happening simultaneously but in a different dimension.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) : NLP is a relatively new science which studies our structure of subjective experiences and creates an unique internal world to experience the external world. This is a powerful science invented by Dr Richard Brandler and John Grinder in the 70's.

Neuro refers to the Neurology and shows how body and mind are linked through the nervous system. Linguistic is the language aspect; both verbal and non-verbal (body language and eye cues).

Programming is the repeated sequences of thoughts and behavior how we act to gain our goals and the consequence of our own action. NLP is a body of ideas and our way of thinking and is about enriching our own model of anything be it health, communication skills, selling, etc. This in turn helps you to look for answers within.

NLP has many techniques to change our perception about health, goals, beliefs and values system, fears and phobias, allergies, modern medicine even involving mild hypnosis and visualisation techniques.
