Frequently Asked Questions Diamond Transformation What is self- hypnosis? Self- hypnosis combines deep relaxation, trance and suggestions in order to permanently transform your conscious and subconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In self- hypnosis the hypnotist is your 'Higher Self', the part within you, that makes life choices from a perspective of deep knowledge, love and empowerment. Any suggestions provided in the training are only given to empower you to learn to do the whole process by yourself. How does our self- hypnosis training work? When listening to our self-hypnosis recording you will be gently guided into a state of deep relaxation. This is achieved, with your co-operation and permission, by a technique called progressive relaxation, which involves following simple verbal instructions and responding positively to the suggestions you hear. Once you are deeply relaxed into the Esdaile state you will be able to work with self- chosen suggestions (affirmations) or creative visualisation, which will profoundly and permanently alter your thoughts, feelings and behaviours around the chosen topic. Alternatively, you can ask your ‘Higher Self’, the powerful, loving and wise part of yourself, to assists you improving your health and wellbeing, and to develop and achieve your chosen goals. As a result of conditioning, you will be able to access this highly creative and healing inner state of deep relaxation and trance without a recording, Just by using two distinct words to trigger this state, whenever you wish. You will be then able to utilise this technique of profound transformation whenever and wherever you wish, completely without assistance. In addition, you will benefit from the health promoting and health protecting effects of deep relaxation. What makes our self- hypnosis training different? The strong focus on autonomy that allows you those this technique of self- exploration and powerful transformation of self and life Just by yourself, without external influences and in the complete privacy of your own mind. The suggestions that are used in this recording train you to achieve very deep relaxation and to access your ‘Higher Self’, which means, that you become your own wise, loving and powerful guide, coach and therapist in this process.

On a physiological level deep relaxation leads to a reduction of sympathetic nervous system activity (tension, fight and flight response) and an increase of parasympathetic (rest, digest and recovery). This may show the following benefits: Slowing of heart rate, normalising blood pressure, slowing of breathing rate, improving of digestion, maintaining normal blood sugar levels, reducing activity of stress hormones, increasing blood flow to maJor muscles, reducing muscle tension and chronic pain, improving concentration and mood, improving sleep quality, improved recovery, lowering fatigue, reducing tension, anxiety, anger and frustration, and boosting confidence to handle problems. When will I notice results of self- hypnosis? You may notice some improvement in your physical and emotional wellbeing from day 1. The pace with which you will see improvement in daily life will vary but will depend less on the how fast you achieve deep relaxation and trance, but more on how willing you are to embrace change in your life, and how regular you practice. Over 4 weeks of practice with the recording most people will achieve a very deep relaxation and trance; some improvements in wellbeing; a decent level of suggestibility for suggestions (affirmations) to take effect; improved inner guidance and ability to change behaviour, emotional response and thoughts at will and the capacity to access deep sates of relaxation on demand within a few seconds. This will alow you to access deep relaxation and trance immediately anywhere and anytime, for a period of 15 minutes at a time; Just by yourself and without the need for the recording. What about the Parabola? Inspired stories have a profound effect on our conscious, subconscious and superconscious mind. They are educational, but there imagery also side-passes our critical faculties and helps to profoundly impact on our believes about ourselves, and our cognitive, emotional and behavioural responses. That’s why fairy-tales and social stories play such an important role in our education as children. Even as adults the imagery of good stories impact profoundly on us. That’s why theatre performances, such as the dramas in the Golden Age of the Greek classic and Shakespeare dramas have had such a profound impact on people’s life, if the viewer whished so. This process initiates, was called the catharsis (purification) of the soul, a process that combines reliving of similar past experiences, deeper self- knowledge and inner change. The Parabola is an inspired Rosicrucian alchemistic tale from the seventeenth century, and it originates from a similar source of inspiration as Shakespeare’s dramas and the Grimm fairy-tales. The dramatic illustration of the Royal Wedding is a tale of the balance union of opposites, such as the male and female nature within us, young and old, intellect and action. In the process of embracing and balancing the opposites we learn to marry our ‘Higher Self’ with our human soul. Emotions, such as anxiety, fear, anger, and sadness are lifted up into our consciousness and transformed into higher feelings, such as enthusiasm, love, and compassion. ‘Inner death’ is transformed into resurrection, coldness in warmed, heat is cooled, darkness is enlightened. As a result of this slow process, we increasingly manifest wisdom, love and empowerment of our ‘Higher Self’ into our daily life experience. What can I gain from regularly listening to the Parabola? In many ways the effect of listening to the Parabola in a state of deep relaxation facilitated by the music and brainwave entrainment technology is quite similar than the Esdaile self-hypnosis, but achieved by very different means. Listening to the Parabola 1x daily may help to improve your physical, emotional and social health and help you to gain more clarity of your life’s goals and your ability to manifest those in your personal and professional life. © Dr Peter Gruenewald 2019 Frequently Asked Questions Diamond Transformation Is it better to use a hypnotherapist than practicing self- hypnosis? There are clear advantages and disadvantages. When dealing with complex problems or with mental health problems, the input from a therapist may very well be required. Where this is not the case, the advantage is, that you learn to apply a powerful tool of transformation by yourself, without having to share your concerns with another person nor giving another person too much influence over yourself. Diamond Transformation is a training that teaches you how to practice effective self- hypnosis without the help of a therapist orang further hypnosis recordings. You will learn to simply induce safely a deep state of relaxation, trance and suggestibility, which be entirely under your control. In this state you can effectively use self- chosen suggestions, creative visualisations or mental rehearsing. Alternatively, if you focus on your problem immediately before you go into trance then the deep Esdaile state off self- hypnosis will allow your Higher Self, the part within you, that makes life choices from a perspective of deep knowledge, love and empowerment, to work out the problem without external input. As a result, you will develop new insight, feelings and intentions and bring behaviour change about without much effort. Does self- hypnosis work for everyone?
