Hypnosis and hanging.

As a hypnotherapist I am constantly trying new things on myself and discovered something interesting while hanging this morning.

As I relaxed into my heavy phase of the session I consciously began to imagine my ligaments turning to warm toffee and stretching way longer than usual. I held this view for a few minutes and kept the weight swinging as I stood and gradually I felt the tissues across the lower part of my abdomen just let go and I felt the stretch reach up higher than I’ve ever felt before.

I only held this view for a few minutes while doing the 10 pound standing part of the session, but I cans till feel the added stretch from the tissues relaxing.

We hold ourselves in so much unconscious tension that I think this is partly how our ligaments resist weights so readily.

I am going to continue to practice visualizing letting go and see what happens.

I, too, am a big believer in “creative visualization”. When PEing, I visualize myself getting bigger, and try to focus and hold that image. I also incurporate it into my weightlifting routine by visualizing the muscles getting bigger as I’m working out. I believe that everything that exists on the physical plane first starts out as a thought on the mental plane.

I find it kind of funny how much we have to “work” at being relaxed.

Hope it gives you that little extra.

We’ve spent all our lives being conditioned to be anxious and fearful.

A-unit, you got this from NLP ?

I’m gonna try this. Right now I’m hang 4.5 lbs. It also seems like it will help with my body stretching exercises I am using to grow taller. (Which is as unlikely as growing your unit out two or three inches.)

The stretch visualization?

Yes, that visualization. It sound a bit like a mental exercices I’ve read from a NLP book. Like sleepy278 called it ”creative visualization”.

Well, I am a Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner so I suppose it’s part of both.

NLP never claims to be the originator of the modalities, merely the compiler of the things that work.

To be precise, the visualization is from Hypnosis and the linguistic structure is from NLP.

A-unit,

Its nice to see some interest in the mental aspects of PE. I am a believer in the creative aspects of our internal dialogue and imagery in all aspects of life and I believe that includes increasing the size of our members. Have you given any thought to the role of intention in doing PE work?

Endorphins are released during hanging.

Intention is vital.

It maybe the difference between success and failure for people.

Myself included.

Yes they are, and we have to be careful hoe far we go chasing the high.

“We?”…best to speak for yourself. Careful…that’s what must be applied to hanger attachment. In my experience, once that’s accomplished, no further concern about care need be considered…just hang.

I’ve hung 20-30-40-50 lbs. for 30-40-50-60+ minutes at a time, sleeping through the latter parts due to endorphin saturation. No circulation problems…and I awake highly invigorated!

Intention, yes, and it’s derivative commitment, is all.

Intention and it’s derivative commitment.

Wow, yeah, I like that a lot.

I found that on my road bike.

Neurochemical Zen.

My concern was with those who use constructive hangers that need circulation breaks.

Please people, watch for dark tissues while hanging. Take breaks.
