Would you like to ask a Question about the 5-Path System for Doing Hypnosis?

This is not a discussion about your opinions regarding 5PATH. I am just offering to answer any general questions you may have about it or the 5 phases we use. The phases are PTC, AR, FOO, FOS and PMT: Preparation, Testing and Convincing, Age Regression, Forgiveness of Others, Forgiveness of Self and Parts Mediation Technique.

Have a great day!

Now I can address some of the other questions about ego and age regression.....

First off I apologize for it taking me so long to answer all of your questions. I had clients that needed my attention, household stuff I had to do, and then my computer had a bit of a glitch.

Yes, the whole regress or not to regress thing is a debate that has been going on for a long time. I want to say in general that this comes from fear and ego issues. To me, there should be room for all techniques. Every hypnotist will tell you nothing works 100% of the time.

The problem is that to become absolutely superb at every facet of some hypnosis techniques such as NLP and Regression you have to do them routinely, have a certain degree of failures and do your technique with a lot of clients over several years. So, neither side can truly say with total integrity that theirs is best. And there has yet to be any scientific studies that have taken an awesome NLP practitioner and an awesome Regressionist-type hypnotist and compared the outcomes.

And maybe you are wondering if someone had truly compared both by getting awesomely good at both. I wonder that too, but what I believe is that if you get very good results with, say NLP and then you say, Ok now I am going to devote myself entirely to doing only regression and to learning it in depth once you get a client in the chair that needs your help desperately, it would take a EXTREMELY disciplined, confident person to not fall back on what is tried and true for them and just do a little bit of what they know instead.

Why? Because despite all the egos we are in the helping profession and to see someone in pain we just want to go for what we know works as fast or as best as possible. Also, for some interesting reason, people who are attracted to the inth degree to NLP just don’t seem to be as attracted to regression and vice versa. Could it be that we simply are not meant to do the same things? Could it be that there is supposed to be a variety of really good practitioners in every technique available? I mean does it really have to be me verses you? How about if I admire you and you admire me? Then we might be able to come to each other for help.

Did you see my article posted on “What Hypnosis Technique is the Absolute Best”? I went to bed musing on that and my subconscious woke me up with a very satisfying answer! At least to me: “It is the realization and the acceptance of the truth that brings healing, change and ultimately even spiritual awakening to people. The way you get there is just a way.”

That is my comment in regards to the ego part of your question. The Age regressions questions will be answered in another post. :o).

Celeste,

Marc mentions that age regression is the corner stone....

There has been much heated debating, (some egoic bashing going on, just my opinion), about regression or not to regress.

Does this 5 path process incorporate special or specific safety measures or procedures that limits re-living a horrific event, or is it the same as all age regression where a safe place is established before starting?

Now for the regression questions:

Cal does teach us to say something like, and now you are aware of your back against the chair and whenever you put your attention on that feeling you are aware that you are here in my office just listening to the sound of my voice. The idea is when your client is in a very high state of emotion you could have them put their focus on the chair for them to be aware that they aren’t actually there in that scene.

Most of us don’t do that, however. The client generally wants to tell their story and intuits that he way out is through. Sometimes they will say, “I can’t do this!” Then we just pause the scene by just saying, “and the scene pauses. What is the worst part of this that makes you feel you can’t do it?” There is a feeling attached to that. For instance if they say “I’m so scared!” Then I like to say,” if we can make it so you aren’t so scared would you could you go through it then”? They always say yes. So then you can do a bit of EFT to bring down the emotion before proceeding. It usually only takes one round of EFT to bring the emotion to a level where they can go thorugh the scene again.

Does that answer your questions?

Thanks for your support on the other posts! I appreciate it!

Hello, Celeste. I appreciate your willingness to post profusely. Upon reading through your responses a question emerges. How is "Franz Anton Mesmer's Animal Magnetism" specifically used in 5-Path? I would like to know of any particular techniques or methods that Mesmer regularly used that are also employed in Banyan's system. Thanks for including any distinct details that may further enhance your reply. Please explain; exactly what influence are you referring to?

Steve,

I am going to answer your questions in a couple of separate posts to keep it simple. I hope it's okay.

Your said:

Celeste,

I also know nothing about the 5 path, up until reading what Marc wrote. So any description of the process is welcomed by me...

So here is the first part of my answer then:

5-PATH® was developed as a result of thousands of hours of work with hypnosis and hypnotherapy clients and the integration of techniques taught by some of the master teachers in the profession of hypnotism, including but not limited to Harry Arons, Charles Tebbetts, Gerald F. Kein, Gil Boyne and others. In addition, the field of psychology and some of its greats influenced the development of the 5-PATH® process, including Franz Anton Mesmer's Animal Magnetism, Dr. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov's Classical Conditioning, Dr. Fritz Perls' Gestalt Therapy, Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy and others. This systematic process has been used by the many hypnosis professionals who have worked at the Banyan Hypnosis Center, as well as other 5-PATH® certified professionals around the world. 5-PATH® continues to evolve as a system with the continued experience and input of these hypnosis professionals around the world.

5 PATH stands for 5 phase advanced transformational hypnosis. It is a system for doing hypnosis sessions that utilizes advanced hypnotic techniques that are proven. These techniques are organized in such a way that each technique makes the next one more effective.

The major techniques applied are masterful use of inductions and convincers in the first phase which is call Preparation Testing and Convincing (PTC), Age Regression (AR), Forgivness of Others (FOO), Forgiveness of Self (FOS) and uses parts therapy work in our Parts Mediation Technique or 5th Phase (PMT), which is rarely ever needed.
