Hypnosis

Still struggling with hip flexibility and so not going low enough in my tai chi or using the waist enough.

It's almost certainly not a physical limitation since I can do some fairly intense hip opening yoga postures. Double pigeon? No problem. Butterfly? Easy. Lotus variations? Lotus crow no problem. Other postures and tai chi moves that use a very similar range of movement are "impossible".

Faced with a significant and unshifting mental block my teacher is suggesting I try hypnosis. Not surprisingly I'm reluctant (if I was happy "letting go" I wouldn't have the problem in the first place).

Has any one used hypnosis as part of training? What did it involve? Did it help?

I have used E.M.D.R. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (reprogramming).
It uses the same principles, but you don't go "under".
I used it for P.T.S.D. and fear of flying. My son had success with it for nail biting.
Google it. It's painless.
