I practice mindfulness meditation also, Vipassana meditation. It has been my experience that a lot of people seem to like the "thought" of meditating, but find the idea of being alone with their thoughts unnerving. I am wondering if anyone has used hypnosis on clients, as a prelude to meditation, or to allow suggestions of ability to reach that calm place, where meditation can take place.
I have been able to reach the point of "no thought" and it is so wonderful, I would love to help others experience this also.

I was thinking along the same lines as you Wendy, by using N.L.P. to enhance ones meditation practice, and / or using Guided Imagery in conjuction with N.L.P. to see if a person in question can acheive accelerated effects with becoming more comfortable with Vipassana, or any type of meditation.

I wrote this because I feel that here in the west people tend to be too easily distracted by their own selffishness, and the everyday distrations of western civilization.
