Thanks for giving me more of an insight HenryDavid. Sounds a bit like self-hypnosis, which I do have some experience of - the whole give up smoking / lose weight / overcome your fear of heights/death/flying/success/failure etc. is also available through registered/qualified hypnotherapists here in Northern Ireland. Paul McKenna, a particularly well-publicised hynoptherapist in England is now also promoting energetic healing in combination with hypnosis, which is an interesting idea for healing practice that is clearly also being explored by Learning Strategies.
I suppose the AFL PR smacked a bit to me of extended ego gratification (you can get whatever you want and influence other people to go along with what you want too!) rather than real growth/healing. But perhaps I just picked up the wrong end of the stick.
I suppose anything which really does seek to help heal the mind and body by enabling individuals to access their capacity to do the healing for themselves is a real plus. As long as this doesn't involve imposing your will on others or actually reinforcing your own egotism, then that can only be a good thing.
I really hope the course goes well for you.
best wishes
Ingrid
