Self Mastery Scripts

  2. Stever Robbins Technic
  3. Self Mastery Script 1
  4. Self Mastery Script 2
  5. Self Mastery Script 3
Introduction
This set contains 3 word-for-word self-hypnosis induction scripts to utilize a technique that Stever Robbins proposed.

Script I asks the subconscious to sort through a set of events, pick out the ten best instances and install the best techniques from those instances into your future actions.

This script is idiosyncratic because it incorporates the sequence I have been using since I was a teenager to go into trance. It contains my interpretation of a propulsion system to progressively deepen the trance state.

During the relaxation suggestions (fractional relaxation) you can tense then relax the part of the body to be relaxed to enhance the contrast and further anchor 1000 3 as a relaxation mantra. Or you can use your own technic and skip to the actual specific suggestions. The funny punctuation is because I use my Macintosh's speech capability to refine my scripts before I put them on audio tape. It works pretty well. (Until you been hypnotized by Software Sam, you ain't been hyp-motized!) This is a script I use for enhancing my work style. You can substitute any activity. Stever used the technique for voice and learning. I left the trance open-ended because I am very comfortable with trance-states. If you're not you might want to add wake up suggestions at the end. I'll be eager to hear if anyone uses this script to advantage. And also any suggestions from the NLP/hypno-pro's about ways to enhance it.

Script II - Next Step Modeling Others This message contains a variation on the word-for-word self-hypnosis induction script that encourages the subconscious to model others who show self-mastery. This script asks the subconscious to sort through a set of events, pick out the ten best instances and install the best techniques from those instances into your future actions.

Script III-This script is for use after having worked with Script 1 and/or II. In this script the best behaviors that the subconscious has learned from having sorted through past experiences are installed within you via a New Behavior Generator segment. I've used an actual script I use. You would want to change the particulars for your own issues. I hope this makes it easy for you to use Stever's original plan for increasing mastery.

Stever Robbins Technic

I have a number of techniques I've used to help stretch myself and others. Based on "Trance-Formations," my first technique is:

1. Choose a topic area where you want to perform better.
2. Put yourself into a light trance.
3. a. Tell your unconscious mind to review every time you've done
   the  activity.
    b. Tell it to review the scenes from the inside [first person point of view], and from several vantage points.  
     c. Tell it to review the sights, sounds, and feelings.

4. a. As it reviews, ask it to note the ten BEST times you ever did the activity.  
    b. Tell it to find out what those ten  times have IN COMMON that the other times don't have.  It might be something physical, something visual, something auditory, a state of mind, etc.

5. Tell it to begin doing those common things more and more
   in the future, and monitor the results to find out if those
   are the crucial distinctions.

6. Tell yourself to drop into a deep trance and do those
   instructions.

Do this daily for a few weeks.  At that point, do it again, but for
the "topic," choose "learning to learn."  That will have your
unconscious mind find out how/when/where it learns best.

After you've mastered that, enrich step #3 by having your
unconscious mind review other people who are superb at
, and review THOSE PEOPLE being excellent from within
their bodies.

... In the last year or so, I've begun to specialize this technique on each sensory system. For example, I'm taking voice lessons, so I've put myself through several trances where I gave my unconscious mind instructions to pay very close attention to the link between the feelings/kinesthesia of my throat, mouth, tongue, and vocal chords, and the resulting sound. My voice teacher tells me that in 18 months, I've come farther than most people do in 4 or 5 years.

One piece that was very important to me was using finger signals (because I needed an external indicator to trust that it was "really" my unconscious mind giving me internal answers, rather than conscious hopefulness) to set up a contract with my unconscious mind:

When I'm getting good at something, I am deliberately kept unaware of it and consciously amnesiac for it, EXCEPT for some of the pieces that don't matter. That way, my conscious mind can worry about whether or not I'm doing right, when all the while I'm busily mastering several other fields. It's deliberate misdirection, so my occasional doubts and self-scrutiny don't get in the way of learning.
