Happy Christmas!

"Twas the night before a NLP Christmas"by Ed Redard MD

"Twas the night before Christmas"
And look what I find
All these empowering resources
In my unconscious mind
My beliefs and values
Were aligned with great care
In hopes that Erickson
Could work with what's there
The fears of my past
Were all put to bed
While visions of trance
Danced in my head
I took a deep breath
And adjusted my cap
And settled my brain
For a long winters nap
When into my head
There arose such a clatter
I set up in bed
To see what was the matter
Deep into my mind
I flew like a flash
And shut out the world
By pulling the sash
My tender new beliefs
Shown white as the snow
And gave the luster of permanence
To the convictions below
When, what to my minds eye
Should curiously appear
But the kind Milton Erickson
Drawing me near
With hypnotic language
Seductively slick
I knew in a moment
He put me in trance quick
Reaching down in my memories
The resources they came
With a deep and slow voice
He called them by name
Now Courage, now Compassion
Now Love and Conviction
On Power, On Laughter
On Faith and Determination
To the top of mind
Deep inside I knew how
Now integrate! Integrate!Integrate Now!
And then in a twinkling
Without any grief
Empowering new ideas
Integrated into beliefs
As I lounged in my head
And was turning around
Deeper into my consciousness
Erickson came with a bound
He was dressed all in purple
From his head to his boots
With his hypnotic skills
Resisting was moot
He was kindly and wise
And quite assured of himself
And I went into trance
In spite of myself
He spoke many strange words
And went straight to work
Creating new possibilities
And then turned with a jerk
Clutching onto an idea
To a dream he gave a whistle
And flew out of my mind
Like a heat seeking missile
But I heard him exclaim
As he flew out of site
Happy NLPing to all
And to all a good night!

I think this poem is very amusing, hope you do, too!
