What are the two top learning tips from Marisa

The rules of the mind (4)
The mind does what it thinks you want it to do.
Your mind loves the familiar and avoids the unfamiliar.

script for before the induction
We could spend ages talking about this, but your brilliant mind already knows what is going on and what is behind it so let’s go back and find out.
lines to use frequently and during induction.
Let yourself go deeper, sink deeper, drift deeper.
2 lines to aid in suggestibility and use during inductions
You are accepting these suggestions, and each suggestion you accept is making the next
one easier to accept, more real and more meaningful.
“You see now that you have a perfectly suggestible mind, and I know you are a perfect
client.”
2 lines to say When Going Back to Scenes
“You are going back to a scene, a place, a time, an event, an experience that is all to do with…”
* “Drifting back to a vivid, vital, crucial, significant scene.”
4 Lines to say for The Transformation
- “Understanding is power, and understanding in hypnosis is the most extraordinary and
liberating power. It’s giving you freedom.” - “Understanding is power, and as you go deeper, you know that understanding in hypnosis
has a phenomenal, transforming, liberating power… - “You behaved in an age-appropriate, acceptable way; you were a victim.”
- “Events do not affect you; scenes do not affect you; the meaning and interpretation you
attach to a scene affects you. But the good news is that you get to change the meaning of
the scene. You can change the meaning of your past in no time at all.”
