How does our mind work? How do others control our thoughts? Guided by Eldon Taylor, whom Joan Borysenko calls “a grand master of the mind,” we answer these questions and thread together a practical and easy system for maximizing our true potential. “Inside every human being is an eternal truth and a life purpose,” Taylor says. “Using our mind power is simply starting the engine on that journey of self-discovery and highest self-actualization.” In this spirit, we explore the ways in which we create self-illusions and discover why so many of our choices are already made for us before we “think” we make them. We learn how we form our self-representations and acquire beliefs. We also unlock the mystery of the powerful influences of subliminal stimuli, altered brain wave states, and television; hypnosis and memory; and the illusion of choice. Through the discussions and experiential exercises we engage in together, we gain options for choosing differently, attend to our “self-talk,” and learn that it is never too late to be happy and to succeed in the life we want to lead, regardless of our past choices and actions. This workshop is valuable for anyone interested in this fascinating approach to self-discovery, and offers mental health professionals new techniques to use in their practices back home. Eldon Taylor, PhD, FAPA, is author of the New York Times best-seller, Choices and Illusions. A former practicing criminalist specializing in lie detection and forensic hypnosis, he has earned doctoral distinction in psychology and metaphysics. Taylor is a Fellow in the American Psychotherapy Association and director of Progressive Awareness Research. choicesandillusions.com |
