EYES

The online healing hypnosis session was “a bit tricky,” but fortunately, neither I nor the subject gave up.

Do you remember my post about a “naive” subject who often avoided eye contact? (You can read that post again here.) This is the story of that person, and you should read it in full because you might get “chills” from what happened during the hypnosis session.

This subject is a man in his 40s, born into a family with status and reputation on both sides. As a child, the only thing his family required of him was to study well; he wasn’t expected to do anything else. Almost everything in his life, even up until now, has been pre-arranged by them. Due to his family’s great reputation and the strict boundaries placed on him, he always withdrew, carefully choosing his words and actions, afraid that anything he did might be used by others to judge him and damage his family’s reputation. Moreover, because of his very honest nature—his mother even described him as “naive” and “a little foolish”—he withdrew even more, overthinking everything to the point of negativity, easily getting angry, and always wanting to avoid eye contact with others because it made him uncomfortable. However, when he withdrew and avoided eye contact like this, people often misunderstood him as untrustworthy, much like how people read body language to determine if someone avoids eye contact and looks around aimlessly.

In nearly two years of practicing quantum hypnosis, this was one of the most difficult sessions I’ve had. It was challenging because he lacked self-trust, and even more so, he couldn’t visualize anything. Visualization is a path that leads to the subconscious, and most people who haven’t lost their eyesight since birth can visualize to some extent. In one way or another, a hypnotherapist will tap into the subject’s ability to visualize to guide them. During the first session, I spent about two hours trying all methods, but he still couldn’t visualize anything. Later, he managed to visualize a little, but it was very fragmented, and before he could focus on anything, he was carried away by a stream of wandering thoughts. The discomfort of the position he was lying in and external noise may have contributed to this.

The second session, two weeks later, was still challenging. I tried some of the same methods, but he was still “lying still on the bed,” unable to visualize anything. I continued to attempt some smaller steps that I knew had worked for him before, because with these steps, he responded. But never before with any subject had I had to repeat so many small steps like this. Oh my, finally, he began to see brief but meaningful stories.

In most of the stories, he found himself in the position of a target being hunted, observing the eyes of the pursuer or the eyes of others watching what was happening to him. For example, at one point, he was a rabbit being chased by a fox, seeing the threatening gaze of the fox and the fearful gaze of the rabbit. At another moment, he felt betrayed by someone behind his back because he sacrificed himself for his daughter, and he saw the pain in his daughter’s eyes witnessing that. There was also a moment when he saw himself as a general fighting in battle, blood spilling, heads falling. People around judged the general, right or wrong, but the general didn’t care about that, for he was steadfast in following his ideal. He also saw a large Buddha with green-colored skin, which changed depending on how he looked at it, and it didn’t matter what skin color the Buddha had.

The most special moment was when he saw the gaze of a being (whom we’ll call a “person,” though their appearance didn’t resemble that of a human) looking at him with such warmth and love that he felt deeply moved. Then he looked at himself and saw that he was a glowing green flower, shimmering strangely, and the flower also looked at the being with immense reverence. But when the being was taken away, the flower wilted and disappeared.
