All Charges Were Dropped Against the Easter Bunny
Remembering the day the Easter Bunny got into a fight at the mall
Yesterday I met Dandi Lion Elf Breeze for lunch. I had salami and she had veggie pizza. Then we walked around a little bit. We strolled. Pastels in the store windows reminded me of about 6 years ago when the rabbit got in a fight at the mall and it was on the news. I asked her about it but she did not remember.
It was back in the days when Julia Butterfly was in the tree and all it did was rain. Those days felt heavy to me. I had been sick for a year. I knew I would get better but I did not know when. I did not know when the rain would stop.
Then this happened.
The Easter Bunny was at the Mall visiting with the children and everyone was having their picture taken. There was a line. Moms and Dad and kids all waiting to see the Bunny.
One mom, who maybe was not a good mom, or maybe was having a hard day, was being mean to her kid. Yanking the kid by the arm and saying "Don't be stupid." or some other spirit evaporating thing"
The Easter Bunny got out of its chair and said to the mom, "Hey this is the Easter Bunny line, only kindness in the Easter Bunny line" and when to sit down and smile that picture taking smile with the next kid.
The mom got meaner to the kid and smacked it on the head. The Easter Bunny jumped into Super Hero action and stood between the mom and the kid.
The mom pushed the Easter Bunny and the Easter Bunny pushed the mom back.
The mom smacked the Easter Bunny and the Easter Bunny smacked the mom back.
( There are no pictures of this.)
So the Easter Bunny and the mom are going at it. This was not a Zen Rabbit, one who knew how to 'Be Peace" It was an Action Rabbit who was, I must say at a disadvantage with the large head that sort of turned on its own when there was a lot of movement.
Any how, first Mall Security came. Then the Police and then the News Crews.
I followed the story and in time all charges were dropped against the Rabbit.
I knew then that I had moved to the right town.
( In writing this I wonder more about the kid.... what is it like to see your mom duke it out, or maybe in the kids view, be attacked by the Easter Rabbit? )

There's a movie in that story somewhere. "Super Bunny" (based on a true story), followed by "Super Bunny 2". Super Bunny action figures and Monopoly game boards.
I read what you said wrong the first time. I thought you said there is already a movie and I thought omg... Rabbits are punching folks out all over the cournty.
that is so great. you're right about the bunny's charges being dropped, being a good testiment to this town's politics. we are in the right place.
Neurolinguistic Programming
In the early 1970s in America Richard Bandler, then a young college student studied the work of Fritz Perls and later Virginia Satir and found that he could reproduce their high-level therapy skills to a degree that even surprised him. Bandler seemed to have a natural ability to mimic (model) the language patterns by Virginia and Fritz.
At the University of California at Santa Cruz, Bandler who was well versed in the teachings of patterns in mathematics and computers teamed up with a college professor, John Grinder to help him understand the processes that were at work. Soon Bandler and Grinder, who used what he knew about patterns in linguistics, created a new model for personal growth called NeuroLinguistic Programming.
Bandler and Grinder had set out to model the hypnotic skills of Milton Erickson. They had astounding results. They built a communication model about human "thinking" and "processing" and used that model of how we see images, hear sounds, reproduces smells and tactile experiences in our mind to track and model the structure of subjective experiences.
Sounds very complicated but really it works very simply. Here is an example as used by Paul McKenna - probably the best & most successful hypnotist in the world.
Close your eyes and think of a negative memory. Become involved in the situation as best as you can. Feel the emotions that you felt, see the things you saw and hear the things you heard.
Now take that memory and project it onto a mental screen seeing yourself in the picture. Put a frame around the picture and view it as if it is an old photograph. Next drain all the colour from the picture and shrink the screen to the size of a matchbox.
Have the feelings associated with the picture decreased in any way?
Another good example of NLP involves Anchors. Have you ever smelt a certain perfume or aftershave and had it remind you of a certain person or situation? Gone to a certain place that brings feelings long forgotten flooding back? Or been in any situation that creates emotional responses that would not normally be associated with it? Well if you can answer yes to any of these then you have experienced anchors. Some anchors are associated with positive feelings and some with negative emotions. However, you should be aware that anchors can be consciously installed or already existing ones altered. Here is an example:
Think of a time when you were really happy. If you can't think of one then imagine something that would make you feel really happy. See what you would see, hear what you would hear and feel what you would feel. Really get into the picture and try to experience it as though it were happening now.
Now brighten the colours and make them richer. Increase the volume. Make the picture bigger, brighter, louder. That's it and more and more....
Now press your first finger against your thumb and fully experience your happy feelings. Do this everyday for 2 weeks and you will create an anchor that will instantly recreate these feelings. Whenever you want to feel like that again just press your thumb and first finger together and wham the feelings will come flooding back! Don't believe me? Just try it and see!!! subliminal messages
