Back To The Future: Hypnotherapy

It felt like forever but really it only took an hour.

I took a spectacular journey through time and matter as I lay there on the penthouse of the Radisson in Media City under the hypnosis of self-described life designer David Crane.

Under Crane’s instruction, I swam with dolphins under the sea, rode spirited horses through green meadows and floated in space without a space suit.

More important, he helped me finally discover an extremely powerful white energy deeply embedded within myself that first appeared as a spark and then covered my entire body, protecting me, and guiding me for the rest of my life.

In an important spiritual exercise that he has shared with Toshiba executives in Spain and other corporate types in Germany, France and India, Crane put me deep into "dreamvision", as he calls it, where I saw my future life.

There I was in an ocean-side Spanish-styled villa; I saw my kids running around a pool; I had money to burn; and there were weekend gatherings of friends.

A raven-haired dark-eyed love came gently to me in a hanging garden, smiled sweetly and told me that I was just seeing the sunrise of my life after a long journey.

When I awoke, I realised that the blinding white light was my potential, an extremely deep repository of dreams, hopes, fears, desires and visions.

Crane explains that "your mind can’t tell what you’ve imagined and what is real".

In an approach very close to what others call "visualisation," Crane says that once you’ve seen your life in such powerful reality, it gives you the direction and courage to go out and get it.

He told me that life’s answers are already deep within me, that I just had to unlock them.

The West Indies native will help others when he releases his important work on a new CD, dubbed "Now That’s What I Call Hypnosis", by month’s end.

Using a variety of music, Crane applies his hypnosis technique to what he calls his "life design wheel" which helps a person see their life now as it is and to plan for the next five years.
