Consciousness, Transformation, Quantum physics, Appreciation, Structure, Opposites, Containment, Resistance, Inferences, MomentumAbstract
This article will continue the exploration of the possibilities for applying the knowledge embedded in the integration of Mind-Body Hypnotherapy and Quantum Physics. The Erickson Resistance Protocol will be utilized as a template for demonstrating a series of relevant and transformative applications. Erickson’s consciousness of appreciation will be complemented by the incorporation of inference to illustrate how quantum variables and concepts provide opportunities to creatively focus attention to facilitate unconscious healing processes. Emphasis will be placed on the appreciation and utilization of the themes of structure, receiving, opposites and novelty. The significance of thinking in terms of biology, set theory and group theory will also be highlighted. Further context will be provided by historical reviews of the evolution of the integration of Psychology and Quantum Physics and the role of the unconscious in general.
