Every now and again I come across a book that stops me in my tracks. Trances People Live was one, The User Illusion was another. A few months ago I was given a book by a graduate of ours as a present, which is the best thing people can ever get me (the name of a good book is the second). It’s called the Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, and, to be honest, as I read the blurb on the back it didn’t inspire me much, but I trusted Katy and so took it with me to a meeting I had, knowing that I’d have an hour to kill in the pub beforehand. The hour flew. In the end I was pulled out of the book by the arrival of a friend and it almost felt that I needed to be, so excited had I become by what I was reading.

I’m on a journey to find out why hypnotic suggestion works. So far the journey has taken about 12 years, and from it I’ve developed Wordweaving, but it’s only the story so far. What Lipton suggests in the first third of his book is a model that, when added to Wordeaving, connects suggestions from the words that are spoken, all the way down to their effect at a cellular level. Let me repeat that. At a cellular level. I’m talking about a model that describes hypnotherapy as a true means of mind/body communication. So I’m a little excited.
