- That is a quite legitimate use of hypnosis (or NLP, for that matter).
- However, it is "custom" to each individual; it depends on your own
- particular strategy for *having* intuition or hunches.
-
- I once worked for a Venture Capitalist as a consultant, and he
- started describing the unique feeling he got in his stomach when he
- evaluated deals that were "good" versus the feeling he got that was
- different when the deal was "bad." We then went back in his history
- (actually, we did this sitting in the lobby of a hotel outside
- La Guardia airport!) and he recalled the feelings he had before he
- invested in deals that produced a profit versus the feels he had
- before he invested in deals that did *not* produce a profit. He
- now relies on those two feelings to make investements and has claimed
- (to me) that his success rate in long-term investments has improved.
-
- You might also wish to investigate a different, but also fruitful
- process used by Russell Targ and associates at SRI to make (practice)
- investments in commodities markets using his methods of "remote view-
- ing." (It's not hypnosis, but I found it interesting anyway.)
