Being Somnambulistic

Posted By a starsoul on February 25, 2010

I did the suggestibility questionnaire three times, once on the website of Crossroad’s Training Institute, I got 53; once in class where I got 41; once at home alone and I got 55. As I’m more and more experienced in this and my understanding grows, I know I am a somnambulist (in hypnosis term) with issues of “Control”.

Tonight my life segments came to me like movie scenes. I see how my view points about anything change easily and quickly (I used to understand this phenomenon as “being open minded”). I see how my breakfast habits change over the years – Now I am under Wattle Wallace’s influence having a “No Breakfast Plan” (see his book Science of Being Well); but I once had full bacon-egg-toast breakfast plan, I once had jam and bread plan, another time I had only sweet little cake plan, I had noodles plan… totally depending on with whom I was. I changed naturally and even claimed “this is me”. I see how my accents and gestures mimicking the person closing to me easily and effortlessly. I see how my life has been drifting around to a point an old friend, when she saw me after many years of no contact, said she felt I was living different lifetimes in one lifetime…

Now all my behaviour patterns seem to make more sense. A natural somnambulist, I may have been living in hypnosis most of the time.

Which, makes change easy – Being somnambulistic means very suggestible, which can be very good, or not. I’m glad I stopped watching TV and reading newspaper all together some years ago, as I found I just couldn’t let go whatever bad news I saw or read. Reading newspaper for half an hour in the morning required me a full day to digest. On the other hand, I only need to be associated with people I look up to for better changes. And as long as I can see the best in people I interact with, I can let myself being influenced without conscious efforts.

By the way, there is a question in Suggestibility Questionnaire “Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night and felt that you could not move your body and/or talk?”

Have you ever found this question a bit weird? Well, not to a Somnambulist.
