Lost Ring
In June of 2004 I had a client who I’ll call Natalie that had lost her $15,000
diamond wedding ring.
Needless to say, when she and her husband arrived at my office she was upset and
said she was willing to try anything to recover it. I explained that there was
no guarantee that a hypnosis session would be successful in helping her to find
her ring, since there might be other variables involved such as theft. I also
explained that while I could not guarantee that she would find her ring, I
assured her that her subconscious mind had a record of her last contact with the
object and hypnosis could be useful in bringing that memory forward.
In our pre-talk I asked her to give me every available detail about the morning
she lost the ring. Since it had happened on the previous Sunday, many of the
details were still fresh in her mind. I had her recall what she was wearing,
where she was, details about her movements, what the weather was like.
While Natalie was able to give me many details, the only memory of the ring was
when she left home to buy breakfast for her family at a fast food restaurant.
She said her last memory of her ring was when she was driving her vehicle, she
looked at her hand on the steering wheel and admired the ring. That was her last
memory.
She told me that after she realized the ring was missing, she began a frantic
search. She and her husband had lifted the carpet, looked under every bit of
furniture, gone through every bit of garbage, even followed the dog around
thinking he may have swallowed it.
They even searched every inch of their vehicle. The ring was no where to be
found. I asked Natalie if it was possible that the ring may have fallen from her
finger, or if someone else might have taken the ring after she put it someplace
in her home. “No” was the answer to both questions.
I began the hypnosis session. Using the “finding a lost object” script from
Hypnotic World as a framework, I slowly guided Natalie through the events of
that Sunday morning, questioning her about her every move. For most of the
session, I used a very gentle, permissive tone of voice. But when I got to a
critical point, my tone of voice changed to a more demanding, authoritative
sound.
“What happened next?”, I asked Natalie.
She said she took her baby into the bathroom for a bath. “Then what? Take
your time.” I continued. She said, “I took the baby from the bathroom to the
bedroom, laid her on the bed, there were no sheets on the bed because I was
washing them”. In a firm voice I asked, “What happened then Natalie? Did you
take off your ring then?”. In a firmer voice, I repeated, “Did you take off your
ring when you laid the baby on the mattress?”.
“Yes!”, she replied. “What happened then?”, I asked. “I dressed the baby, than I
got the bed sheets out of the clothes dryer and made the bed.” I ended the
session, bringing Natalie to a full waking state. I looked at Natalie and her
husband and said,
“You guys have been sleeping on your ring since Sunday! The ring is between
your top bed sheet and the mattress!”.
Natalie and her husband could not get out of my office fast enough! They
returned home to find the ring exactlyy where I said it was. Natalie called me
immediately, she couldn’t believe it!
All the searching that this young couple had done was for nothing. All the
while, the answer to her question, “Where’s my ring?!”, was in her subconscious
mind. I was pretty impressed myself!
