The Tuning Effect is an extraordinary new technique in the tradition of hypnotic learning. It brings attention, eye movement, and breathing together to produce a strongly felt sense of security and confidence in the body and mind. It is a simple practice individuals can use to evoke a positive state of well-being and restore one’s feelings of joy and excitement. Like learning how to ride a bicycle, skip rope, or type, this practice coordinates attention, vision, and action without the need for complex mental processing. This elegant and simple practice allows emotionally charged memories stored in the body to release their hold naturally without complex, or lengthy, conscious examination. Once learned, the effects remain deeply felt and long lasting, leading to a sense of stability, sensory sharpness, and heightened energy.
Mel was personally trained by Milton Erickson, the foremost practitioner of clinical hypnosis in the 20th Century and over the years he has been evolving his own unique synthesis. This is the first time the Tuning Effect is being offered in a public venue.
Mel Bucholtz is internationally recognized as a trainer of medical and mental health care practitioners, artistic performers, inventors, and athletes. He was introduced to Japanese Zen practice in Hokkaido, Japan, founded Interface Education Foundation, and has long been interested in waking us up from our “everyday trance.” He’s lectured and taught about art and hypnosis at major universities and hospitals, is the director of the Stillness Institute, and maintains a private counseling practice.
