As you see the are all still sealed and wrapped
-Yes
Now what is important.
In first instance... Look at that hand.
There's only my voice and that hand.
As your sitting there, looking at your hand listening to my voice...
seeing the little lines in your hand.
Than you can easily start to imagine that the weirder that hand starts to look.
You can imagine that this hand becomes different.
That it starts to look weirder.
As you now look at that hand. What is now your experience of that hand?
As if I look at someone else's hand.
Who's hand would that be?
It could be anyone's.
Name one specific person. -Rob!
Who's Rob? -My best friend.
Now imagine that this hand is attached to Rob's body.
Now that hand as you notice starts to feel different.
If I do this how does it compare to the other hand?
What's the difference you experience between that hand and this hand, which is your?
Sharper
This is shaper or that? -This one
As you imagine that this hand is in a container with ice.
So you see Rob, in your mind's eye. Put that hand in a container with ice.
Can you imagine that that hands start to feel cold?
It changes that perception of that hand.
The more I touch this as you look at it. You start to notice it feels more numb.
Different... Weirder...
Maybe "they" look a bit hazy.
What's your perception now. Of that hand of Rob's?
I see it as a different hand. -You see it as a different hand.
What is your experience now?
Are you ready to put a needle through the back of that hand?
Yes -Yes
Because this hand is now Rob's
Now you can imagine that that numb feeling you experience now. Moves up.
All the nerves from your head going down that arm into that hand are turned off.
It feels number and number, weirder and weirder.
As if it's a very weird hand from somebody else.
Just comfortable, sit and watch.
Be amazed when I do this.
That at the most you feel a little prick.
Who does it feel now?
Wet. -Wet.
Do you dare to take it out yourself?
Yes -What would be your perception when you take it out?
That I pull it out of his hand. -Well go ahead.
Notice that it's completely numb.
Does it matter which way I pull it out? -It's easier when you pull it this way.
When I do this, how does it compare to that?
Does this hand feel different than that hand?
Do it again?
Is this different than that hand? -No...
This is now again your hand. A bit of blood…
That's okay. -We have a bandaid here.
Please put your hand down for a second.
It wasn't a small distance we pricked through. We went through almost 1.5 cm.
Stick the bandaid on. Then I will explain what happened.
If you have someone... There's no feeling...
with a paranoia for needles and they see the needle?
How would you do that?
When they see the needle at a certain point they wake up. Actually say "woah"
To let them close their eyes is ideal for most people.
