If you can imagine it, then you can experience it . . . anything you can imagine can be powerfully felt as if it is real and happening right now via Experiential Hypnosis or Experiential Trance . . . that’s right, anything you can imagine . . . and I mean anything.

As it is something I do a LOT of and will be doing much more with in future with more essays and mp3s and books and teaching . . . not to mention it is both a valuable skillset and a lot of fun . . . presented appropriately contexts for recreation, entertainment, and therapy . . . I have added a new category to Life of Brian . . . Experiential Trance which covers the topic of Experiential Hypnosis and Focused Trance. There is some overlap with the hyperempiria, hyper-acuity, and associated sensory experience set but eventually you will see more and more on my take on experiential hypnosis which is one of my crusade areas, so to speak.

What is Experiential Hypnosis and what’s it used for?  Within Experiential Trance, anything you can imagine can be fully experienced as if it is real . . . powerfully real . . . anything you can imagine . . . and that means anything.  Applications are primarily for therapy, recreation, and entertainment but the contexts it can be used for are pretty much limited only to one’s imagination and ingenuity.  When I teach Experiential Hypnosis I train students in both how to do it as well as how to apply it creatively with a number of examples but without locking into scripts or models but learning underlying processes behind the demonstrations or examples so they can apply it to anything they wish to . . . anything.

Experiential hypnosis or experiential trance is when the trance experience is so deep and so vivid and so powerful that a person experiences all of the suggestions as if they are happening right now! My take on Experiential Hypnosis relies upon Instant and Rapid Hypnosis Induction techniques that take a person from full alert consciousness to complete deep trance in a matter of a few short minutes or instantly, right then, right there, right now. These powerful techniques can be used within any context . . . entertainment, recreation, therapy, changework . . . and more. Any context. People can learn how to instantly create deep trance phenomena and how to deepen the experience as they guide others into very vivid and very powerful trance that can lead to wonderful recreational experiences or very powerful permanent positive change. I do a lot of work in this area and am wellknown within the hypnosis community for this particular approach or modality of experiential hypnosis and trance based upon very powerful and very very fast instant and rapid deep hypnosis techniques that lead to powerfully realized and fully experienced trance states including fully experienced regression, parts therapy, and imagery so vivid it is experienced as if it is completely real . . . right now in the present moment . . . all of which can be utilized for recreation, entertainment, education, or therapeutic permanent positive change.

Those interested in learning the techniques can read Life of Brian and take any of the trainings I offer, including certification with the Society of Experiential Trance (see the Brian David Phillips Waking Dreams webpages for more information).

All the best,
Brian
