Having been told ‘All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten’ I started to think about who I might have learned it from. As they were visiting me this weekend (my Mum and Dad that is, not my Kindergarten teacher) I started thinking about the impact anything my parents had said after I left Kindergarten. I soon concluded that their input throughout my life has been a massive influence.

Then I started to think about meditations and affirmations. In the past I have recorded affirmations to use during self-hypnosis, usually my own voice taking me into a meditation then telling me “Mark, you are a creative thinker” and so on. It actually works really well and has a strong impression on my subconscious mind. Hypnosis is a brilliant relaxation technique and under hypnosis the subconscious mind has no relative concept of time, making past traumas relatively easy to undo.

Then I started to think about ways of making these affirmations even more powerful. If your mind works like mine you can guess what I am going to say next. Any message from my parents used suggestively under hypnosis will be like they are talking to my inner three year old. Not everything I needed to know was learned in Kindergarten. Some things I need to know to survive here in 2008 were not even conceived in 1966…

I wrote each of them a script and simply asked “can we record this” being pleasantly surprised when each read through their ‘part’ and agreed. Actually, I say simply… I felt a bit foolish asking them to participate in such way out new age nonsense. Something said ‘go on just do it’ so I did it anyway.

What surprised me more was that my mother added a few bits of her own (she is not just proud of me, she is proud to be my Mum, which seems very grown up) and that I felt closer to both my parents afterwards.

I have just finished creating an audio meditation program which is based on brain wave synchronisation with audio tones (more about this later) and my personal version of this is going to include the messages from my parents.

Kindergarten here I come…
