Memory Palace can enhance Your Hypnotic Experience
Creating a memory palace is a powerful technique that can be used to enhance hypnotic experiences in a number of ways. Essentially, a memory palace involves creating a mental map of a physical space that you are very familiar with, such as your home, workplace, or a familiar route you take regularly. By mentally placing and associating the information with specific locations within this space, you can improve your ability to remember and recall important information.

The human brain creates a false memory just a few seconds after the event!
People may misremember events, often within seconds, and reshape memories to fit their expectations. Previous studies have shown that people's perception of their surroundings can be shaped by their expectations, which can lead to delusions. People's long-term memories can also be shaped to fit their expectations, sometimes generating false memories.

The Genie script
What is Manifesting? Manifesting is the process of bringing your solicitations into reality through the power of your studies, passions, and conduct. It's grounded on the principle that we're all connected to the macrocosm, and our studies and feelings can impact our reality. By fastening our attention on what we want, and aligning our studies, passions, and conduct with our solicitations, we can bring them into our lives.

Understanding Ego
Ego is in the essential part of living on this world of materials. It often gets a bad rap, but without it, we cannot function in this world. Making Ego a bad guy can be detrimental to your mental health, your psyche, hence to your wholeness as a human being. Just as the knife can be useful and helpful as we cut potatoes into small pieces to cook faster, it can also be dangerous in the hands of a little one who has no idea how to use.

Panic Attack Aftercare
Let’s talk about trauma aftercare. I have CPTSD. Today I woke up from a bad nightmare in an active panic attack. Nightmares are traumatic. They feel just like the real trauma that happened. This means that after I come out of the panic attack (treated with medication, self-talk, affirmations, grounding techniques, and active comfort), I need to take care of myself in ways I wouldn’t otherwise. I will need to actively reassure myself that I no longer have that trauma in my life. I will need extra reassurance from partners, and I might have to cancel activities to rest. I had to learn how to do these things. Our society teaches us that we should “suck it up” and move on, but that’s not actually how brains work. We have to reteach our brains that we are no longer in physical, emotional, sexual, mental, or psychological danger. That’s hard. That’s complicated. That’s not being a good capitalist. So we stockpile trauma, which isn’t good for anyone. So today I heal, at least the trauma from my nightmare. It’s probably going to involve a whopper (with cheese, no pickles, onion or ketchup), and a lot of reassuring myself that I have every right to nurture myself through food. It will require rest, and puppy snuggles, but in the end I will be more whole, I won’t have that trauma to pass on to others, and healing myself also heals the collective. Healing myself helps heal you, and vice versa. So we will heal together, we will commune together, and we will find joy together. Together we are stronger than trauma. Together, nothing can stop us.
