It works for me.
Impasse.
do other videos have sound for you?
Oh Rob ! I have already answered that question.
Again, it is only this one, audio & video, that lacks sound.
Please delete and load again from the original source.
It works on my wife's computer also, Andrew so i'm not replacing it. Must be something your end. Happy hunting.
Hope there is time to cover this next week, then.
I've worked it out. Loaded the file into a Sound Editor, and this file has a characteristic the others don't have - it is recorded in Mono, rather than Stereo.
This could mean you are playing the audios on a Mono player. For some unexplained reason, my Stereo player only picks up the silent channel. See attached.
Using the Sound Editor, I can copy the Left channel to the Right, and it should then work.
This may be a case of the practical solution triumphing.
well done!
Nice to see how effortless it can be, and to be reminded of how much I needlessly struggle sometimes in life...lifting my eye brows up and down vigorously at the end of an hypnotic session isn't going to help open my eyes. My work with hypnosis as a therapist is also aided by not struggling

What a relief, and what a useful learning to take into our interactions ... and life. Thanks Mark
I echo your client’s words at the end of the experience “oh wow”. I found myself easily slipping into trance as I remembered my own experience of meditating and was impressed at how smooth and gentle the transition was. It felt lovely and having experienced it myself I am encouraged and confident that I can reassure clients about the safety and effectiveness of this process. I needed to watch a few times and endeavour to stay out of trance so that I could consciously learn this procedure to add to my unconscious learning.
Thanks Judith, remembering our own experience rather than reponding to a therapist's suggestions allows for the ease of the slipping. Enjoy your learning.
Observing this session I am transported to my ealier days of learning and studying counselling. It appears to be so simple and yet feelings of 'diffidence' arise. I will enjoy returing to this video time and time again.
I appreciate how very attuned you are to her body language, non-verbals, energy field. Toward the end, I'm curious, how did she let you know how she comes out of meditation? I understand you are drawing from her previous experience. Did she smile, nod as an indication? I also appreciate the non-judgmental message of not forcing something to happen and reconnecting with our own selves and internal resources. We truly know what to do if we learn how to listen to ourselves. .
On looking again, it seems that I asked her how she completes her meditation, and in recalling an answer, she recalled her experience and completed it.
Fantastic experience for her and for me. :D
I am unsure why the lexicon " the risk of being exterminated" was used at the very end of the session. Can you explain this use of the phrase?
By "allow our voice to become part of there meditation", I presume you mean "allow our voice to become part of their meditation." Don't you?
The sound doesn't work, on either the audio or video.
Only this one so far. The others are all okay.
