Hallo and
welcome.
My name is Paul Hastings and I have put up this
page to give you some background information
about me and my association with Pilgrim
recordings. As I have been using them, or selling
them or giving them to clients for twenty years.
I have always been interested in certain things
martial arts, yoga and magick even from an early
age.
I started my journey with hypnosis around the age
of eight when a friend at school sold me a hypno
disk and small instruction booklet that his dad
had got him from the USA. You may even remember
seeing these adds forty years ago in some
magazines.
I began to play and it was not long before I was
hypnotising friends at school and playing all the
games an eight year old does. I began to buy
anything I could on hypnosis and various kinds of
mind control, much of it, as it still is today
was total rubbish.
I did notice down the years that hypnosis and
other techniques were useful in many areas of my
life, however getting consistency was always a
problem and many of the things I was reading
about I was just unable to do.
However the years moved on and I find myself in
1989 enrolling in a course on hypno-analises in
1990 I qualified as a hypnotherapist and
psychotherapist and started a private practice in
Leamington Spa about a year later.
I was excited and asked a friend who is also a
hypnotist how I could become brilliant, I was
young. He suggested I contact some old guy called
Duncan McColl who was good and sold some amazing
hypnosis tapes that I could learn from. While
training I had listened to many different
hypnosis tapes and wondered how these may be
different, they all seamed the same old hat.
However I trusted my friends opinion.
So in 1990 I rang Duncan and started one of he
most amazing relationships I have had, so far. He
recommended a tape called "love awareness" a few
days later it arrived. It blew me away and still
does today. With in a year or so I had most of
Duncan's recordings and my life was changed
forever.
His approach was not that of the typical
hypnotist who back in those days mainly used
suggestion therapy, these seamed to go way beyond
that. The results he got were also mind blowing,
especially with healing and the more unusual
areas. What impressed me most was that he used
what he taught, he walked the talk. I discovered
that unlike many recordings some of his took
three months to make. Each word was scripted to
ensure maximum impact with our control level of
mind. Our subconscious mind, "The Boss"
"The Boss" is where we store all of our automatic
processes and much of what and who we think and
feel we are is not what we have chosen, we have
all been conditioned by parents, friends society
and religious conditioning, as well as running
old outdated programs that a younger less
experienced "us" may have chosen. We also have to
contend with outdated survival programs that may
have been useful when we were reptiles or less
advanced species, however they are not as useful
in todays world.
Much of Duncan's work was involved in this area,
of us programming what we want the computer
between our ears to do, that is our
responsibility, and often that does take some
growing up and emotional maturity and control. It
is for this reason that the recordings fit in
very well with emotional freedom therapy and
techniques.
For the next fifteen years or so Duncan continued
to poke, guide, advise and teach me how to play I
was beginning to learn how to do things with
consistency. Many of his recordings induced large
shifts in my thinking and awareness. Not always
comfortable, but necessary.
As he continued to develop his skills and
knowledge and constantly refine his product I
sort of joined in, testing recordings, playing
with new stuff and during this time qualified as
a trainer with Duncan in his system of "Precision
Therapy" and went on to train a few precision
therapists for him.
Duncan always encouraged me to go and find out, a
habit I still enjoy to this day. It lead to some
incredible learning experiences and insights.
During this time I was lucky enough to study and
learn from such people as: John Seamore, Neil
French, Tony Robbins, Dr Richard Bandler, Ross
Jeffries, John Lavelle, Kathline Lavelle, Dr
Yates Canipe, Paul McKenna, Michael Breen, Tom
Vizzini, Major Mark Cummings, Kim MacFadden. Carl
Dawson and the mind blowing Dr Jack La Tourrette.
"The Doc" as Tourrette is also known introduced
me to Silvia mind method and huna. Two systems
that I later learnt played a large part in the
impact of Pilgrim Recordings. It seams Duncan had
been there before.
Much of the new information was discussed with
Duncan who added what he felt would be useful to
his clients and he began to revamp many of his
subliminal recordings with dramatic effect. The
pilgrim whisper subs being some of my favourites.
The court is still out on subliminals, some think
they don't work, other have had great benefit
from using them, I am in the camp of those who
have had great success with them.
The more I learnt the smarter I realised he was,
the depth of wisdom on his recordings is profound
and I still listen to many twenty years later.
Many are like returning to great old books and
wondering why you missed that first time round,
of course you have grown and evolved. I always
recommend the stress, love awareness
understanding parents and fears recordings. Most
people can achieve what they desire by using
these.
So what do I do these days, well I still help
people using a mixture of hypnosis, nlp, eft,
huna and energy psychology. I still have a
practice in Leamington Spa and all of my clients
use Duncan's recordings as I still find them some
of the most valuable tools available for personal
change. I still practice martial arts, yoga and a
few other things and these days enjoy cycling for
fun and health, have a few web sites up and
running apart from this one.NLP
