Hi Nicolas,

It sounds to me that you're dissociated. I have difficulty with that
too. Probably you're not experiencing things directly. You're a
step back, watching yourself experience it.

The day you posted this, I received an email from my Reiki teacher,
who has the Oceans book:

"The first pages I got more and more convinced that the book
would be able to help me out of some shit, although at one
page, (printed version page 22, third paragraph from the
bottom, " The truly wonderful ...") Silvia says something
that has disturbed me before, and that is that there is a
group of "...very few highly disassociated individuals who
also cannot make any of the other energy therapies work..."."

I don't have this book yet (gave someone the $$ to put it on his
card), so I can't comment on the contents, but I -DO- know there are
ways to learn to be associated.

Probably the best I've heard is to do it first, then think about it
later. This is actually a major requirement to get someone
hypnotized easily.

So, since I've learned this attitude of "Just DO IT NOW, and think
later", I've been able to feel energies ACCURATELY, hypnotize myself
VERY EASILY the first time I tried an induction, and do things that
just wouldn't affect me before.

As I mentioned, I don't have the Emotrance book yet. However, I was
able to use ET (or something similar) myself on a migraine.
Physically pulled it out of my head (felt like a nail made of taffy)
and let it dissipate. Cool. Now I'm actually LOOKING FORWARD to
getting a headache again, just so I can play with it.

Anyway, if I'm right, you've got a babblebox in your head -
chattering away 24/7. It's distracting you from what's happening
right here, right NOW. PAY ATTENTION first, think about it second.
Then all those self-help books might actually be able to affect you.

I've also got some specific drills for other approaches of bypassing
dissociation, but I'm asking for the author's permission before
sharing them here. It's from an awesome NLP trainer who couldn't
apply NLP and hypnosis to himself, until he learned to associate.

P.S. Side note to those familiar with NLP, I'm fairly certain
Richard Bandler is majorly dissociated. He's mentioned things that
NLP and hypnosis are supposed to fix, but last I heard he has those
very problems himself.
