There are all sorts of ways to use the power of your mind to improve your health and your quality of life.

The greatest athletes in the world use visualization. They imagine their performance and their success to mobilize all their strength toward victory.

Dentists and doctors use hypnosis to reduce the pain of a procedure and speed up healing.

Since the dawn of time, people have meditated to better manage their stress and to enjoy its many other benefits.

We start from the principle that our mind loves to play, that it loves beauty, and that it has the power to act on our body, our emotions, and our beliefs. That is why we developed the Méthode Dolfino® as a set of techniques and imagination games that:

give you more control over your health and your emotions

This method fosters a better awareness of your inner world and your emotions, then puts you in touch with your ability to make them harmonious and pleasant.

The method is simple and easy to understand. You can use it alone or to guide someone you love. There are 8 basic techniques and games to learn first. They are taught in detail in this book so that you can put them into action and enjoy their benefits right away. Each technique is described and illustrated graphically to make it easier to understand.

The techniques are played within a fixed, safe framework inside which you have great freedom. They are presented as stories, as metaphors that must be improved. Past events are never discussed or recalled.

For example, to improve emotional management, the metaphor proposed will be that of a river. The game is to improve this imaginary river until it is perfectly beautiful and pleasant in the eyes of the person being guided. It is by transforming the river that the person being guided communicates to their unconscious the changes they wish to bring about.

The techniques are simple, but a few simple rules must be followed for them to be pleasant, safe, and transformative.

a. Each session must begin with a clear and precise statement of the objective.

Each technique is designed to help you improve your life in a notable and measurable way. The key is that you must begin by clearly stating what you want.

Do you want to release a pain, improve your relationship with your partner, lose weight... there’s a whole universe of possible goals, you have to choose one and define it clearly before you begin. You’ll see further on how to do this.

b. Respect everyone’s role: The method consists of establishing a lively and enjoyable dialogue between a guide and a guided person.

Guided: This is the person who wants to improve their life through the Dolfino method. They are the master, the one who makes the decisions and carries out the transformations in their imaginary world. It’s up to the guided person to determine what is beautiful and harmonious in their eyes.

Guide: This is the person who chooses the most appropriate technique(s), who sets the scenes, who encourages and who opens up the field of possibilities. They impose no decision, make no transformation, and in no case set the criteria for beauty and harmony. The guide is at the service of the player.

Note: When you do a session by yourself, you play both roles.

c. Foster an altered state of consciousness: The guide uses a set of simple techniques to foster a chosen altered state of consciousness in order to bring out the imagination. This state goes by several names: hypnotic trance, deep meditation, alpha state, etc.

d. Put it into action in real life: Metaphorical prescriptions are concrete actions to take in daily life. It’s important for the guided person to take these actions to anchor the transformations over time.

The basic techniques are flexible; they can be used to achieve a great many of the goals sought by most people (stress, pain, weight, etc.).

Next, the advanced techniques are designed to go deeper and to achieve very specific goals, some of which may even seem surprising to you, notably:

The advanced techniques will be the subject of separate books, so readers can deepen their knowledge and achieve new goals.

To date, we have trained several thousand practitioners who use the Méthode Dolfino® around the world. Their testimonials agree that these techniques bring well-being and surprising transformations.

Reading this simple, playful and practical book lets you make the method your own and adapt it to your needs.
