Ericksonian Hypnosis

[Guest guest]

Hello group,

 

The leader of Ericksonian Hypnosis in France is man called Olivier

Lockert, who has studied with Carol Erickson and Ernest Rossi.

 

He studied NLP with Robert Dilts, Jay Haley, William O'Hanlon and

Frank Farrelly. He was certified by richard Bandler.

 

Now, that sounds really good to me. Having been deceited at least

one time by an Italian martial artist who blatantly lies about

anything, privately and in magazines, I 'm currently reading his

books, before considering studying with him.

 

What I've read so far is really good, and I'd like to recommend his

book " Core Gem " to all french speaking people.

 

Yet he fails to answer one question which is the ONE question I seem

to find no answer to, anywhere.

 

Would anyone be able to direct me to relevant material?

 

What is the physiological difference between sleep and trance? Or

sleep and alpha state? Or trance and alpha-state?

 

I know what it's like to be in trance.

I know what it's like to be asleep.

I know what it's like to be conscious at alpha.

 

But given that they can both occur at the same level of brain

activity, what is the physiological diference between them all?

 

Is it just some " obscur parts of the brain being activated or shut

down " ?

 

If so which ones, specifically?

 

Thanks,

 

Pierre
