Since 2007 he has been teaching NLP and Hypnosis on Intensive Yoga Teachers Training Programmes in Tokyo and Bali, ( Yoga and Aikido are also part of his long term practices ) as both an accelerated learning tool and as a way to navigate more generative states of awareness and personal congruence.

He also designs and delivers  trainings for organizations and businesses , as well as and giving direct coaching to executives, athletes, and anyone looking to optimize their performance and results at the highest levels.

Alastair has a deep interest in the rituals and practices of Amazonian Shamanism in Peru and has traveled there to learn and appreciate these complex technologies of altering consciousness, accessing deep trance states and entering into states of  healing, learning and transformation. He sees these traditions and technologies as complementary to Milton  Ericksons work ( Erickson was considered as a Shaman and “wounded healer” by many) and sees them as advanced practices all with the intention of “responding to a call to awaken into full human consciousness” , enabling a more full understanding of " generative trance" and discovering ways to facilitate effective change for oneself and others.
