Hey Everyone

I hope the title of this post got your attention because that was the plan. This is such an interesting story I thought it deserved an interesting title.

About a week or so ago my father asked me to hypnotize him for an upcoming pool match called the U.S. Open. He is a great player, but feels as if his mental game needs a tune up. For anyone who is new to the site you can read about this HERE. Since the post I wrote my father is currently in Virginia playing in the match. He arrived Saturday since the actual match starts Sunday. Well I got a very interesting phone call from him yesterday which was Monday the 15th of Oct.

When he called me his voice was filled with a lot of excitement. He was amazed at how good he felt playing pool. He said he just felt so relaxed and calm while he was playing. I was pretty excited as well since this was some of the stuff we covered in the hypnosis session. Even though I don’t think he got to the working state of hypnosis. The suggestions still had a powerful effect on him. I thought this was all he was calling to tell me about, but I was wrong. He told me while he was practicing a very famous pool player, who was also in the match came up to him and asked him if he wanted to play some pool. As my dad played him he told me he held his own against the pool giant.

Now here comes the strange part of this story. During our hypnosis session I had him do some guided imagery. Well one of guided images had to do with him playing his favorite pool player and doing well against him. I think some of you may be able to see where this story is going. The same person he played in his hypnosis session was the same pool player he played at the U.S. Open. My father has never met this pool player from I understand and had no clue he would be at the match. What are the odds that the same person he imagined in his hypnosis session would end up coming up to him in real life asking to play?

So I pose the question did hypnosis tap into the law of attraction somehow or did he predict the future. For those of you who don’t know what the law of attraction is the simple delimitation is whatever you tend to focus on you attract to yourself. So I wonder if the hypnosis session which includes intense focus somehow interacted with the law of attraction. Once again I don’t know the answer to this question. This is why I posed it in the form of a question. I have also heard stories of people who predict the future while in hypnosis. Is this true or how it is done is a mystery to me, but could that be what happened. Personally I think this is really interesting and I don’t have a clue how it happened. For those of you who are religious such as me maybe it was god or a higher power. The honest truth is I don’t know how it happened. I just had this interesting idea pop up and thought I would write it down.

So I pose this question for anyone who may have an opinion on this event. So if any of you have any comments or ideas than I would love to hear them.
