Reprogramming the Past for a Brighter Future
By John Henderson, DD, CI
Sometimes we feel blocked and don’t know why. We feel that if we could just figure out what’s holding us back we could conquer the world. Things start to turn around and get better and then they revert to the same old pattern. It seems that there’s nothing we can do to make it get better so we watch as our life spirals down… again… We feel out of control and can’t understand why the law of attraction does not work for us. All we attract are more headaches, depression and loneliness.
If you can find the trigger that started the downward spi- ral resulting in an unhappy present day life, you have the ability to change it. The problem is that we often do not remember the event that triggered this unhappiness or lack of success. The subconscious mind blocks memories that it finds too painful to deal with and seals them off so that even if we were told about the event by an eyewitness, we just might not remember it. Events, especially in childhood often happen in situations that we have absolutely no con- trol over, so the subconscious chooses not to allow them into our conscious. This means that no matter how many affirmations we do, we are trying to program over errant programming.
The subconscious mind files away everything that comes through. It is bombarded with so much information that it deems unnecessary or that it deems painful, that the conscious mind cannot process all of the information, so the computer (the mind) needs a good defrag and virus removal program. The subconscious mind does not know the difference between what we call reality and what we call pretend, so it is possible to reinvent a new outcome of a bad situation. Even though you have no idea what is caus- ing your problems, there is still hope.
The subconscious mind can only be accessed when the conscious barriers are removed either during sleep or by an induced altered state. It is in this theta state that the sub- conscious can be reprogrammed to change the past trau- matic event into an event with a pleasant outcome whether it’s in this lifetime or in a past life. A perfect example of reprogramming a forgotten event from childhood would be in the case of a severe punishment or embarrassment that the child endured and “forgot”. In the hypnotic state, the subconscious mind can remember the event. The chain of events from the past is retold with a favorable outcome and the subconscious mind, which doesn’t know the difference between physical reality and reprogramming is now healed and the person can move ahead successfully.
There are a plethora of different sub modalities that can be done within the overall hypnotherapy modality. Probably the most famous sub modality is past life regression. A good example is of a woman who came to me because she just couldn’t have a good love relationship. She and her boyfriend would continuously break up and get back

together again and again. Every time she would think he was close to saying the “L” word, they would break up again. In past life regression, she saw herself with her fian- cé on a stage coach in the old west. They were on their way to his home town to get married. She seemed happy, smil- ing and suddenly a dark cloud came over her. She started to become uncomfortable and fearful. She was reliving the event of being attacked by robbers. I reminded her to see it as an observer as though she was watching a movie. She was still visibly upset as she shouted out “they’ve shot him. He’s dead.” At that point, before the trauma went any further, I told her to stop and go back in time I told her that her subconscious mind had remembered the experi- ence incorrectly and that she should look behind herself and she would see a bright light. This is the sun shining at a time and place where she goes back in time to when she was with her fiancé when they first boarded the stage coach and that she should tell her subconscious mind that the version she is now hearing is the real and only experi- ence and that she should replace any other experience with this version. I retold the story in which she and her fiancé arrived at the station where his family was waiting. I took her through the details of the visit, the wedding and even to their later life with children and grandchildren around. Now it was important for me to put as much emotion into the story as possible and have her feel and experience the emotions and the story because emotion seems, from my experience, to speed up the reprogramming considerably. Slowly through NLP reprogramming I moved the tapping points together until they were at the same place on her arm anchoring her new experience of being safe, loved and happy. The next thing I notice is a smile as the tears of joy streamed down her face. I started with the affirmations to help reinforce the new programming. I could see her breathing change to a rhythmic steady relaxed pace and I knew the reprogramming was complete. The last time I heard from her, she and her boyfriend were engaged. The “L” word was no longer an issue.
