Sooth your child with Hypnosis - Worry is a waste of Imagination
‘Worry is a waste of imagination’ - Creating a healthy imagination is key to designing your dream life. Maybe you can recall a time when you would play mummies and daddies or hide and seek? From the age of two, children are at the prime stage for fantasy play. Children that have a rich fantasy life are usually happier children. So you don't need to become a dictating parent, if your child has an imaginary friend or talks to themselves in their room at night - unless it interferes with progress or their social skills. Fantasies are an important part of growing up.
Children learn by observation. Every parent has experienced pointing to pictures in a book and saying `this is a dog, this is a cat and this is a tree” after the child has seen the pictures several times the child can easily recognize the pictures later.
There are three kinds of sight:
Sight - meaning to see
Cite - to say it out loud
Site - the location
To ‘recall’ information, you reverse it. Congratulations you have ‘re-sighted’ the information.
Children dream every night
They are more likely to remember the bad dreams over the good dreams and it’s harder for them to distinguish bad dreams from reality.
You can do a lot to turn your child's nightmares around
Get out the crayons, coloured pencils and paint and ask your child to ‘draw’ the bad dream. When it's finished, ask the child to add flowers or balloons to the dream. You can explain to the child that dreams can change - they are like television, you can switch the channel.
Hypnosis in the age of imagination
“Imagine your on a beach” or “Imagine your on top of a mountain” Guided visualizations are frequently used in hypnosis - they are the easy short-cut to hypnosis. The client's brain shifts from the dominant hemisphere to the non-dominant hemisphere.
In ancient times ‘sheer will’ was your ability to use your imagination and create a holographic presentation of a new environment was called “oneironautics” - “to dream journey” becoming an ‘oneironaut' meant to move toward your cosmic-creative-power and inturn would be in your words and thoughts. Between the ages of seven and ten, the imaginative play of early childhood becomes internalized, it's just not as public. Don't you remember falling in love with actors, rock stars? Jon Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, Joey McIntyre the youngest guy from NKOTB (new kids on the block?)
Fantasizing can boost your mental health, give you a positive outlook on life and provide you with clear-cut goals for the future. Fantasies help us crystallize what it is we really want in life.
