My neighbor had a trampoline in their back yard, and the wind picked the thing up, flipped it, and deposited it two stories up on my roof. Once it was up there, the wind ripped it into a mass of heavy aluminum pipes and springs attached to a wildly flapping tarp, and then took the opportunity to beat said pipes and springs against http://chewingthroughtherestraints.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-appreciation-for-kneepads-right.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hypnoguy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945337646217637109.post-8147035165603444923Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:35:00 +00002009-04-14T11:20:40.402-04:00teh funnehLink to original.http://chewingthroughtherestraints.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-tickled-my-funny-bone.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hypnoguy)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945337646217637109.post-389894621226443099Thu, 19 Mar 2009 19:56:00 +00002009-03-19T16:55:27.842-04:00introspectionSo that article about Passive Barriers has got me thinking... about the barriers in my own life, and the ones that I see around me.I work as a consultant for a tech company (read temp) and after reading the article, I called up my employer asked if they had a 401k. It turns out that they do, and even though it's non-matching, I signed up to drop about 13% of my income into it.

It's basically about how inconsequential, easily overcome obstacles can stop us from doing the things that we want to do, or keep us doing the things that we don't want to do.For example... not posting to a blog just because the things that you're thinking about don't have http://chewingthroughtherestraints.blogspot.com/2009/03/reboot.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hypnoguy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945337646217637109.post-2161554785237310532Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:29:00 +00002009-04-14T17:26:29.171-04:00videoteh funnehhttp://chewingthroughtherestraints.blogspot.com/2008/07/happy-4th-of-july.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hypnoguy)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945337646217637109.post-8533494456436415526Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:39:00 +00002008-07-02T20:40:18.258-04:00When you're driving at night, most folks have a tendency to look directly into the headlights of oncomng traffic. It's a pretty natural thing to do. Something bright and shiny is moving in your field of vision, so it draws your eye.It also tends to kill your night vision, leaving you seeing spots, and not seeing the road as well as you did before.A little trick that I was shown is to not look http://chewingthroughtherestraints.blogspot.com/2008/07/tip-for-folks-who-drive-at-night.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hypnoguy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945337646217637109.post-6989973088037135432Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:37:00 +00002009-04-14T17:27:10.664-04:00hypnosisrants"Sleepnosis" is a way of doing hypnosis where the hypnotist simply repeats suggestions over and over while the subject is asleep. There's some discussion about just how effective this really is, but for the most part, people studying this seem to agree that there is some effect. They also show that the more often the suggestions are repeated, and the more nights they are presented, the more http://chewingthroughtherestraints.blogspot.com/2008/07/pay-attention-or-else.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hypnoguy)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945337646217637109.post-4181478770405200650Sat, 12 Jan 2008 17:07:00 +00002009-04-14T17:25:39.846-04:00videoteh funnehJust to keep things from getting too highbrow around here, here's a clip from the Japanese game show Silent Library.

For that, I apologize. Normally I wouldn't do something like this, but watching the discussion in a couple of mailing lists that I follow, has caused me a bit of discomfort in these past weeks.

I guess that's a good way to start as any, eh?I've worked myself up into a good rant on a couple of issues of late, but really haven't had the time, or the opportunity to put pen to e-paper and codify any of them. So here we go.I've been involved with hypnosis for a long time now, mostly as an interest, and then as a hobby.
