Doctor Ivy Bullen on Conscious States
Disclaimer:Â Notes recorded by Debby Blettner
Dr. Ivy Bullen presenting: The Conscious States.
There are three states of consciousness:
1) awake
2) asleep
3) trance
Sleep takes place in 90-minute cycles, deep and then light. Melatonin production at 2 AM. is increased. There are 4 levels of Trance States.
Just prior to waking is one of them and is a very good time to give a child positive affirmations, and is very important to make this time very positive for them.
Beta and Alpha States make up a normal relaxation or simple meditation.
Hypnosis means to influence and put in suggestions, the deeper the relaxation the better a suggestion is received.
Suggestion for those desiring to receive hypnosis:
1) Agree beforehand what suggestions will be made.
2) 100% trust and consent is necessary. The conscious mind is bypassed and the subconscious mind listens.
Meditation can be done while waiting for a red traffic light, relax the hands and breathe deeply, and simply relax.
Trance is a waking suggestion. At the time a patient is told that they have cancer, they go into Shock Trance. “Awaking Hypnosis” is what’s told them after the shock of finding out. Post- traumatic shock is the result and the doctor “hypnotizes” the patient.
This can be similar to the Aboriginal ritual of “bone pointing”, where the person being in shock, receives a waking suggestion, the body responds to the waking suggestion, shuts down and dies. If some person came along and told them positive affirmations, the body would change.
Anesthetic is a form of hypnosis. Hypnotic suggestions occur during surgery, during this time of deepest trances, and can seriously affect the outcome of the surgery and the patients desire to live.
If Surgeons really wanted to help increase the survival rate of cancer patients receiving surgery, they should put in positive suggestions during this time. Even cassette tapes taped to the ears of the patient with continuous play of positive input have proven to give patients good recovery after surgery.
There are 3 types of meditation.
1) Passive Meditation, mind and body relaxation.
2) Creative Meditation, visualise a healthy body and make things happen.
3) Insight – not necessary here.
The first 2 are the most important regarding health.
Imagining a white light = healing energy.
After 3 deep breaths train yourself to totally relax.
Choose a regular place and time to meditate and do it daily. You will look forward to it. If possible do it 2 times a day. The task is to relax and be still. Natural Killer cells increase with Meditation.
Even in a very deep meditation you can still hear a cassette tape, so be sure the tape is full of positive affirmations. (Notes recorded in 1999)
Note: Next, we were asked to draw a picture of our family, all members, when we were 5 years old.
Later we were asked to do a meditation to go back to the time we were 5-years- old to try to visualize everyone then and try to understand what happened at that time.
The meditation included us visualizing and feeling the emotion of us holding and cuddling our own 5-year-old child.
Then later we were asked to sketch our present day family, could include in-laws etc.
We then discussed possible childhood influences affecting our health today.
End of Lecture by Dr Ivy Bullen.
Note: I’ll end by saying that I have experienced the trauma and shock of first hearing I had cancer. The first time I heard it, my doctor tried to persuade me to have a mastectomy, arranging it to be performed in 6 days time.
Fortunately, I was able to tell him I needed 6 days to think about it. His response was that most women in my condition, precancerous cells and a family history, wouldn’t even be able to wait 6 days to “have it off”. I never had that surgery, although I did consent to minor surgery.
He also added a pleaful story that if I had been his wife, he would have insisted that I have the mastectomy ASAP. (As soon as possible.)
So, the doctors can have a lot of influence and pressure you, as they are very aware of the hypnotic advantage they have over their patients, after they hear the initial prognosis.
Dr. Ivy told my husband about his cancer, saying, “It seemed like it was, but that she wouldn’t say for certain, until the last test result was in, and anyway this type of cancer was easily cured, so not to worry. Take it one day at a time, one test at a time and see how it goes.” This made it all the easier to bear.
His specialist was not quite as gentle and was quite graphic in regards to the surgery needed and upset me a lot, as I also suffered from the shock. We were able to take it home to pray, and went through with the surgery.
Taking time to listen to the procedure presented and requesting time to process it can be very helpful stress wise, if you were to receive the cancer diagnosis.
Protecting yourself from any negative statements about your particular type of cancer and how advanced or hopeless the diagnosis is may help you make an informed decision on the treatments available.
Resting can be very beneficial with the use of meditation during this strenuous time. Taking time for yourself can also be very beneficial for your family. I was able to use these techniques so I endorse them.
In my experience a diagnosis of cancer can create pressure to choose treatment quickly. It can be quite challenging to think of alternative treatments during the space between the diagnosis and the treatment options.
Requesting a time frame for your life span, after being diagnosed with cancer, may not be the best choice as each person has a different experience. The estimates can often determine the time frame in the patients mind with painful results.
Taking time, meditating and self-educating can help take the sting out of the initial cancer diagnosis, treatment, to become a cancer survivor.

The Joy and Beauty of Garden Meditation
By Debby Blettner
Five stairs, five minutes, at five o’clock-
“In the cool of the day He walks with me, in the rose bordered way He talks with me. In perfect communion we have our full union in the garden of my heart”(1)
Treading lightly, spreading my toes between the pathway of white, gold-hearted Frangipani flowers, to avoid crushing them, I enter my garden.
Hugging the branch of my lemon tree assures me all is well. Lemon tree is half blackened on her trunk; she has seen better days, yet her fruit is delicious, organic and healing for me.
Stunning red Bottle-brush tree awaits me next brushing my shoulder with her velvety brush, followed by Hibiscus, pink and fresh, Poinsettia pale yellow, our dear rabbits contributing to the greenery of the garden, a spacious grape vine drawing me close to check her timely fruit.
Reaching for the sky is my shade tree, housing several hanging baskets overlaid with cacti, eye-catching red lustrous flowers, bold and beautiful, Rattail cactus and Red Orchid Cactus Flower.
A few more steps to the Lantana bush spreading her generous flowers o’er the pet graves beneath; a continual reminder of their presence. Visiting the white/pink flower tree I discover her secret, she buds white and matures pink, bearing white and pink flowers simultaneously at any one time.
Pink Frangipani approaches my sight beside Christmas red Poinsettia. More flamboyant pink Hibiscus to complete the setting.
Crossing over the garden I engage with two Palm trees, more Bottle-brush with Ivy covered trunks, a monumental Grass Tree I am learning to sculpture; Bougainvillea, fluorescent purple, Jacaranda in full bloom, lilac in color, reaching to the sky, and the lowly parsley bush feeding our family with herbs.
During my healing I spent time daily meditating on God’s creation, my own backyard, watching the birds visiting, nesting, fighting for territory, eating, droppings and singing. My meditation was timeless and beautiful.
Our family united together to watch the Kookaburras visit, or the Cockatoos in their crowd, the Doves so gentle, the Willy Wagtails that claimed most of the yard, Ravens oft visiting also with other birds of names I know not.
Healing arrived for me this year. Instead of sitting and watching I became a tender of the garden, trimming, edging, weeding, watering, fertilizing, raking, checking and maintaining the reticulation, recycling the rabbits offerings into manure for the plants.
I have witnessed my Palm tree, flattened to the ground, when the back fence collapsed after a heavy storm, only to find my dear husband rescuing it, roots intact standing once again, unharmed. I took strength from this tree. I wrapped my arms around several trees, felt their energy, their life, which fed my energy supply.
They are always there for me, all I need to do it walk out of my back door and I am with them.
I like to think that is how God is, a reflection of His creation, He is JUST always there. Ready to hug, a shoulder to cry on, something to admire, smell, see, feel, hear and maybe taste. A place to laugh, breathe, rest and reflect, and be.
Precisely five o’clock every afternoon I am drawn to our special garden, the one of my heart and the one of our yard. I unlock the treasures of my heart amidst the pruning, weeding, gathering watering, planting, in my garden.
The parallel for me is clear, both for my heart and my garden. Both need pruning, weeding, watering, fertilizing, edging, a gentle but firm hand to create the needed boundaries to perfect a beautiful garden.
