Ep. 163–Are Poetry And Hypnosis The Same?!
April is Poetry Month and today we explore the connections between poetry and a hypnotic therapy script - and how YOU can use BOTH in Coaching.
I share several poems in this episode and read some sample Trance Scripts to illustrate the similarities.
One poem I read is by David Whyte who's website is www.davidwhyte.com.
Another is by E. E. Cummings (1894–1962)
Another poem I read comes to us courtesy of the poet Julie Flanders. Julie is also a founding member of the band "October Project" and writes all of their lyrics and sings in the band.
Julie is posting a new poem everyday this month on the October Project's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/octoberproject/
They are also sponsoring their 6th annual poetry contest.
