Subject: INDUCE.... Then REMOVE a headache!!

Hey all,

I was just chatting to Tim a short while ago, and I got a few ideas
when we were confering.

Now this is for EDUCATIONAL purposes only. Seriously guys, I mean it.
I was thinking of the variations & possibilities that one could use
this. The only reason I typed it up is so that I can learn it... "The
best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else".

I'm gonna post some of the transcript (with permission from Tim
ofcourse! :) - Oh yeah, and it may be edited a little! :)

Tim says:
i cant wait till the hypno course
Tim says:
ive been hypnotising people on and off for a while anyway
Tim says:
but it will be good to get a qualification so people will trust me a
bit more!!
Sab says:
lol
Sab says:
well u could just say that you've got one
Sab says:
and as soon as their considering it... say "SLEEP NOW, YOU WILL SLEEP
NOW!!!", and pressuring their temples while you're saying it
Tim says:
lol
Sab says:
apparently it works...
Tim says:
or even their carotids!!!!!!!!
Tim says:
do u know why the carotid artery is called "carotid"
Tim says:
its because its named from the Greek doctors (Karee = to sleep in
Greek) who realised that when they pressed it, people started
blacking out!!!
Sab says:
where is the carotid?
Tim says:
the carotid artery is a blood vessel in the neck
Sab says:
where abouts?
Tim says:
both sides of the upper neck - i dont advise u press it though
becuase it does cause people to black out i know from experience
Sab says:
oh
Sab says:
is it like under the earlobe?
Tim says:
na more under the jaw
Sab says:
coz i know thats a sevear pressure point
Sab says:
just pressed it
Sab says:
and it's stopping me from breathing, lol
Tim says:
ooooh
Sab says:
am i doing it right?
Tim says:
yes
Tim says:
it stops blood to the brain
Tim says:
dont press both sides simultaneously - i cannot stress enough u may
well black out
Sab says:
if you say "dont", ofcourse im gonna try it
Sab says:
and i have
Sab says:
now i got a bit of a headache...
Sab says:
....Thanks!!
Tim says:
no problem
Tim says:
its a shame u dont live closer i could probably cure ur headache in
about 3 mins
Sab says:
lol, i can do it on 40 seconds!!
Sab says:

Sab says:
or 1 min, to be sure!
Sab says:
lol, so im gonna go round sqeezing people's necks then curing them,
LOL!!
Tim says:
dont try and cure a headache by pressing the carotid - it will not i
assure u
Tim says:
much better to press the temporal bones
Sab says:
pretty good
Sab says:
you used "dont" again!??
Sab says:
hey man, you gotta stop that
Sab says:
it has adverse effects on people
Sab says:
and actually makes them do it
Tim says:
lol
Tim says:
sorry didnt notice i was being so direct!
Sab says:
this reverse shit works with everyone
Sab says:
we've been conditioned as children to the word "don't" with "do"
Tim says:
true
Tim says:
you've been watching DB too much "don't think of a black cat..."
Sab says:
you'll find that derren often says "don't try and.... .... .... "
Tim says:
LOL
Sab says:
could be a suggestion to make you do it
Sab says:
"don't try and guess what it is... "
Sab says:
lol!!
Sab says:
we came out with the same thing at the same time
Tim says:
yer
Tim says:
hehe
Tim says:
you are right btw
Tim says:
but i was being serious - watch out when pressing the carotids!
Sab says:
yeah
Sab says:
im gonna induce
Sab says:
then remove
Sab says:
then induce again (with a simple anchor)
Sab says:
then remove
Sab says:
then induce
Sab says:
then remove
Sab says:
LOL, thanks!!
Sab says:
you've given me a great idea!!
Tim says:

Sab says:
I have to post this on the group!!
Tim says:
ok -just give me some credit!
Tim says:
or an acknowledgement!
Tim says:

Sab says:
ofcourse...
Sab says:

Sab says:

Sab says:
hehehehehe
Tim says:

Tim says:
sure post the transcript

Right, okay, I didn't edit it!!

Well onto my idea...

I found a way (with help of Tim ofcourse) that you could induce a
headache in a person by squeezing their "carotids" which really does
make your head thump, and then remove it by either squeezing the
temples or the pressure point combined squeezing the chin (refer
to "Psychological Subtleties" if you want to know more).

So, basically I'm thinking that this can be incorporated with an
anchor (preferably kinsthetic, possibly on their shoulder)...

You ask one of your friends to sqeeze their "carotids" for you
(because you want to try something medical on them). Then you tell
them to hold it there (only for about 10-20 seconds), NOT ANY LONGER,
or they may pass out!! While their doing that when reaching about 17
seconds, you start your anchor, then you tell them to let go, when
they do you sqeeze their left shoulder, and then let go as soon as
it's peaked.

They'll have a headache now... (I've tried it on myself, and my head
is seriously thumping now).

Okay... Now onto removing it...

I'm only going to inform you on one method I've found successful on
removing headaches (which is thoroughly conveyed in "Psychological
Subtleties - Banachek"), but I'm incorpating it differently here..

Tell them to relax a little (into a waking trance if possible), then
you either tell them to remove it with their hands, or you can do it
to them. It really depends on what kind of anchor you want. For
example, if you wanted a kinsthetic anchor then you would let them do
it. But if you wanted to make some sort of visual anchor then you can
do it for them...

I find that removing a headache is best done by a second person,
because of expectation etc... it's difficult to get optimum results
on oneself.

Anyway, back to my method:


Basically you put them a light trance (if you can), or just tell them
to relax... When you feel that this has been accomplised, then you
can start to remove the headache by applying pressure on the relevant
points. Hold the pressure for about 40 seconds, and then let go!!
When you reach about 37 seconds, start your anchor (whatever that may
be), then as soon as she's finished and opened her eyes you can stop
the anchor. But make sure you have it so that the anchor lasts over
the peak..

Now if you've done both steps successfully, you should have two
distinctive anchors. ONE to induce a headache, and one to remove it.

Now when the headache is gone, ask her how she feels, and if the
headache has gone... If she agrees then later on, when she's not
expecting it, fire the anchor!! and ask her how she feels. If it's
worked, she may say something like "I've got a bit of a headache
again". When she says this, fire the other one and it should go away!

Pretty good huh?

Then you can fire both of them at the same time, and her head will
explode >;o)

Now out of this seemingly sadistic post, there is some good that you
can use it for. For example, now that you've got a simple anchor to
cure a headache for her, you can fire it everytime she says that she
doesn't want to go out because of a headache!! :))))

She'll never be able to use that excuse again... heh...

But seriously though, it beats the hell out of Paracetamol in my IMO.


Anyway, hope you've enjoyed reading, and I would ofcourse appreciate
any comments or criticims, especially from the NLP guru's of this
group, i.e. Terry, Marc?? :))
