USING SOME ELEMENTS OF THE TIBETAN CONCEPT OF TERMA IN HYPNOTHERAPY
What is a Terma?
A Terma
is a bit of profound knowledge passed to modern people from ancient Lamas. The
indepth explanation woluld take a lot of time. What we want to propose in this
article is a short version of application of this technique in Hypnotherapy. We
would warn you indeed to search more knowledge on this argument before to become
fully operational. We are at your disposal for this goal.
The Western concept of resource
In the
modern western concept of psychotherapy, we call "resources" ideas and
concepts buried in the personality that can be recovered through various manner.
Normally, for acceding to such resources, we ask help from the subconscious or
the superconscious part of the mind. The concept of "Terma" go
even in a wider direction then the western term.
One of the many possible Techniques
GOAL:
Acceding to inner knowledge through experientials and visualization.
For proper application, this exercise should be part of a wider curriculum.
THERAPEUTIC
APPLICATION: When a client feel "blocked". When arises the need for a
deeper analysis
STEPS:
-
Rapport
-
Introduction to the concept of inner search in the
tibetan point of view
-
Have
you client sit down (or go in situ)
-
Execute
an hypnotic non verbal induction (in its ritualistic manner is more apt for
our goal)
-
Have
your client imagine a place to explore and have him to find an opening for
entering in a new space
-
Have
your client find a little container closed.
-
Say
to your client "inside is an object on wich is written something very
useful for you: take it in your hand and read it" A)
If client reads, go to the next step B) If client is
unable to read have him have an intuition about what is written
C) Otherwise have him
take the object in his hand without looking at it - make him close the fist
-
Have
the client putting an offer in the little container, closing it, and coming
outside closing all the doors and opening
-
Suggest
amnesia excepted for the object
-
Do
the awakening procedure
This
technique is many times more powerful with a direct access to the appropriate
poweplaces for terma. After a direct visit the person can acced many times
through visualisation. Under the tibetan point of view, going directly in situ
permit to have the direct contact with the right and most powerful energies
