般若，梵文意譯「智慧、知識」。「波羅蜜多」，意譯「能勝了知，能達彼岸，圓滿完成，度脫苦卮」。 哲道行者，也許有點浮誇、有點膚淺、非常地獄，但也是一種哲學。

ONE OF THE BEST WAYS of getting over unhappy past and guaranteeing a happy and successful future is to practise making yourself feel better for no particular reason. If you wake up in the morning and feel good, you'll make better decisions about what to do with your life. People are making problems for themselves all the time. Some break up with a  partner and then they go out and get drunk to meet other people, and a couple of hours and a lot of beer or whiskey later they're telling ssomeone they only met a little while ago how much they love them. Then they wake up in the morning and find they're in bed with a piece of wood. Sometimes people do stupid things and say later they acted like that because they were "confused", but one of the things I have discoved over years is that confusion is not a state that should lead to stupidity. It's a door to new understanding. If you begin to think of things as difficult, they will be. If you begin to study what makes ...

Erickon emphasized to couples that they could not (and need not aspire to)  share equal all the things because bilolgically they are totally different creatures and have many different interests. They just need enough mutual interests and pleasures to create a healthy balance between autonomy and realationship. In that balance, both individuals are accomplishing certain things for self, for each other, and for their live together. Like much of Erickson's wisdom, this notion of balance sounds  simple in theory. And yet it can be too complex for many people to put into practice. Erickson explained that many people "grow up in convicition of the goodness of their ideas ... They never learn to respect the goodness of separate ideas ... and they get into difficulty when they try to influence each other". In this framework, problems in marriage result from too much effort on the part of each spouse to convert the other spouse. Furthermore, each holds the faulty b...

Wu wei ( traditional Chinese : 無爲 ; simplified Chinese : 无为 ; pinyin : wúwéi) is an important concept of Taoism (Daoism), that involves knowing when to act and when not to act. Another perspective to this is that "Wu Wei" means natural action - as planets revolve around the sun, they "do" this revolving, but without "doing" it; or as trees grow, they "do", but without "doing". Thus knowing when (and how) to act is not knowledge in the sense that one would think " now " is the right time to do " this ", but rather just doing it, doing the natural thing. Wu may be translated as not have or without ; Wei may be translated as do, act, serve as, govern or effort . The literal meaning of Wu Wei is "without action" and is often included in the paradox wei wu wei : "action without action" or "effortless doing". The practice of wu wei and the efficacy of wei wu wei are fundamental tenets ...

> The benevolent intent  of the practitioner. This assumes that all healing takes place within the self and can be assisted by the therapist, but that the therapist follows the lead of the client and assesses and utilize whatever the client presents > The unconscious contains solution to problems that can be retrieved to help facilitate optimum health and functioning. > By metaphor and other forms of indirect suggestion, the therapist may facilitate a series of internal responses that can lead to the desired change. The change may or may not overt or immediately measurable or observable. > The therapist assists in the facilitation of a reorganization of the client's inner world so that life can be experienced as less problematic and, therefore, the symptom may no longer be necessary. > The unconscious mind tends to be benign and generally healthseeking.    

Erickson said,  "You are as unique as your fingerprints. There never has been , and never will be, anyone exactly like you. So you have the right to be that, fully. There are things you can change, but other things are like your fingerprints. You can't change them. So just accept them."     

As a Hypnotherapist while in apporaching any patient must ask : Do I have adequate clinical training to understanding and to anticipate the probable responses from this specific patient? Do I have an an adequate foundation in  my hypnotic training to use hypnosis as an adjubctive tool in the treatment of this particular patient? Do I have sufficient understanding about my patient's unique strengths, concerns, and motivations to utilize them within the context of hypnosis toward a therapeutic outcome? Do I have the flexibilty andd experience to employ the responses of this specific patient in the service of the therapeutic goal? Do I have sufficient supervision available with which to confer as I expand the boundaries of my skills and experience in the use of hypnosis as therapeutic tool?     extract form Handbook of Ericksonian Psychotherapy 一些讀書分享，渴望一些有志人仕能用得著。

Erickson stated, "When you are working hynotically with a patient, your orientation should centre around the patient's needs. Whenever you try to maximized your own ego through a patent you start losing ground. That is why we are so much opposed to the teaching of stage hypnosis techniques, because stage hypnotists are oriented about themselves as operators, not about their subjects. In medical and dental hypnosis, you need to orient everything about patient. It is the patient who is the important person." 相信這個就是治療師應該和須要的態度！

It has been William J. Matthews' experience that the average Ericksonian-oriented therapist, when asked to describe the defining characteristic of Milton Erickson's approach to therapy, would be likely to say, "Erickson had no limitimg theory of psychotherapy or personality. He was interested in what worked." Rossi (Erickson & Rossi, 1980) makes this point in discussing Erickson's notion of the "limiting preconceptions of most schools of psychotherapy". Erickson notes that in the field of psychotherapy, there has been an overemphasis on theory and rigidity of practice. This is particularly evident in psychoanalysis with its underlying psychodynamic orientation, which, although actually practiced by few therapists, continues to influence the field (e.g. notions of a repressed unconxcious, defense mechanisms, stages of development). Erickson made these observation in the 1950s, at a time when these beliefs were probably even more pronounced than today....

老鬼係一個極度自負的人！自負是來自許多的正面經驗，正面經驗的感覺好好好！ 何為正面經驗，好像別人的認同、肯定、鼓勵、關懷、愛又或是來自己內在的肯定、感覺等等，正面能量可以令一個人作出許多有趣的改變，一些自信心比較薄弱的人可以變得很有自信；自我不足的人可以肯定自己；幽憂的人變成開朗，一切負面的感覺變得正面，相信正能量的的好處有多好也不用多講！ 今天晚上以另一個身份再上催眠課堂，老師教的是升手 (arm levitation) ，升手是催眠現象的其中一種，嚴格來說升手包含了至小兩種催眠現象，就是僵硬 (catalepsy) 同抽離 (dissociation)等，升手這個現象能夠有力地說服受導者催眠是可以令自己能作出改變同時潛意識同時會告訴意識有能能力為自己作出改變。這個亦是米爾頓．艾克森經常利用的一種催眠現象。 同學練習的時候我便看人做練習，特然間有同學同我講：「師兄不如你做個示範呢.......」，心諗有無問題呢？與此同時個同學又講：「你吾洗睇書架啦，即刻來都得啦........」，咁心急我無乜時間喎、親和感建立好未呀，呢位同學叫乜名？雖然有小小瑕疵但當然能夠完成呢個簡單的示範，就係呢個時候我見到又驚訝又羨慕的目光，呢個又係一個美好的正面經驗，可惜示範完已沒時間和受導者討論了！ 生活裡面不妨為自己製造多一些正面經驗，可能會令自己變得自大，但相信自大點都好過自卑！又也許可以為自己帶來許多有趣的體驗，桀桀桀............ 後記：個性剛強、直率，喜歡不斷接受挑戰和刺激；具有天生的直覺和判斷能力，而且有很好的創意和表達能力。優點是活力充沛，精力旺盛，企圖心強烈，領導和溝通能力強。缺點是衝動，具破壞力和毀滅性；剛愎，自負。又幾似喎，都係要改改先............

昨天第二次到工聯會作義務治療，client (受導者，李中瑩老師的用詞)是一位只比老鬼大一點點的朋友。老鬼見到呢位朋友內裏不期然感到有點點自豪因為發現老鬼個樣在有比較之下後生許多，無怪夫連峻先生有提及過當一個人學催眠的時候樣貌便可以保持在那個時刻到老了！吾知自己可吾可以好似米雪姐姐咁保持得咁好呢？ 講番標童先，認識我嘅朋友會知道我有一千種瘋狂又貪玩！但每次做治療的時候就好似玩標童咁變咗第二個人！ 個人變得好正經、好似好有智慧咁，連講野個tune吾都同咗。昨天呢位朋友都好有趣又問我正職是甚麼又問我收開幾多錢，連坐的位置也互換了，即是他坐了治療師的位置而我坐了client的位置，最有趣是竟然問我 NLP 的理解層次和時間線！好彩自己重記得，不過最重要的是他滿意自己的答案，否則便沒有了信任！在個半小時的傾談裏面建立了親和感、取得有用的相關資料和做了seeding 的工作，當然亦取得了催眠合約，但已 over run 了！ 回到家中也發現自己做小了功夫，有些應該做的事情還是沒有做。 booking 要去到四月，到時候再和大家分享呢個 case。 20080202
