#revivification

William Shakespeare is a historical figure whose character—qua legacy, reputation, and name—both is and continually becomes. As part of the collective ensemble of cultural impressions, conscious and unconscious alike, Shakespeare is continually revived in modern depictions, such as the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love. Another example appears online in Shakespearean memes. Incidentally, these modern portrayals mirror what Shakespeare himself did to historical figures. As Charles Caleb Colton wrote in Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

When Shakespeare depicted historical figures, he highlighted defining traits, behavioral tendencies, and prevailing public sentiment. For example, his portrayal of Richard III emphasizes both the king’s idiopathic scoliosis—confirmed by the 2012 discovery of his remains—and his murderousness, including the supposed deaths of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York. Shakespeare's characterizations, rather than caricatures, engage with the dynamic, meaningful context (Derridean différance) surrounding these figures. In doing so, he revivifies history, updating our collective impression of them for better or worse. Shakespearean memes operate similarly, but the focus is Shakespeare himself.

Shakespeare’s works are rich with ambiguity and irony, and their dated language can make them challenging for modern readers. Additionally, his academic status makes ridicule feel almost sacrilegious. Consider, for example, the following meme:

Here, Shakespeare’s name is given a literal reinterpretation: “William shakes pear.” The meme transforms a literary genius into the punchline of a simple pun. It plays on several defining elements of Shakespeare: his likeness, his iconic status, his use of irony and ambiguity, his archaic language, and the mythos surrounding him.

This mirrors what Shakespeare did to historical figures, but in a way that subverts the gravitas typically associated with him—a layer of irony at the heart of metamodern expression. Including Shakespeare in this memetic mode simultaneously acknowledges his enduring cultural significance and playfully mocks those who take him too seriously. As such, it exemplifies metamodernism: “an oscillation between…a modern sincerity and a postmodern irony.”

These and other memes constitute metamodernity’s memetic revivification of Shakespeare. Whether a byproduct of my exposure to this particular meme or grounded in intuition, I suspect Shakespeare would appreciate it.

Hypnosis For Migraines: What Causes A “Headache On Steroids” & The Hypnosis Techniques For Prevention & Pain Relief

However, before we get down to the nitty gritty, here’s some information that will help you gain a better understanding of the causes and effects of a dreaded “headache on steroids.”

What Are Migraines& Who Suffers From Them?

The word “migraine” brings to mind the idea of a terrible, severe headache. It can show as a throbbing or pulsing sensation, often on one side of the head.

As well as the ache, migraines usually involve other symptoms. These can include nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.

The pain from a migraine can last for hours or for days, and it can be so severe that it leaves a person unable to do anything until it passes.

According to the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study, approximately 12% of Americans suffer from migraines. Nine out of 10 sufferers are unable to function normally when a migraine strikes, and a third of those involve bed rest.

Research by the World Health Organization states that migraines mostly affect those aged 35 -4 5, and that they are twice as likely to occur in women.

Migraines can have 4 stages, although sufferers may not experience all of the stages.

These stages are :P TAGEND

IMPORTANT NOTE: A migraine is a medical condition. Before you work with someone who claims to be suffering from a migraine, make sure they provide you with a referral from their doctor. The referral will ensure that you are treating them for the purposes of an actual migraine, rather than for a pain caused by or related to something entirely different.

But as discussed earlier, we’ll only be looking at the benefits of using a revivification in this article.

How A Revivification Can Reduce The Pain And Onset Of A Migraine

A revivification is used to revivify or bring back to life a pleasant memory. Your client will be able to remember the event clearly and will also be able to experience the feelings he or she felt at the time.

This technique has a strong and positive effect that will help diminish the pain caused by the migraine. It runs by giving clients the resources they need to solve problems for themselves.

During the prodrome and aura stages, your client will be experiencing signs that something is happening. Particularly at the aura stage, they’ll start to feel the migraine coming on, so they need to change whatever they’re doing.

In this sense, the revivification runs more like an education tool, giving your clients alternatives once they’ve left its term of office so they don’t just feel like they have no choice but to wait for the ache to begin when the next migraine strikes.

So this technique empowers them to take charge of something they have previously felt powerless against.

For instance, suppose they’re going through a particularly stressful period. They might begin to feel one of those aura signals( pins and needles, blurred vision, etc .) which would be a cue that they need to take better care of themselves. They need to make sure they’ve consume properly and have had enough rest.

They should also try to find time to relax, perhaps doing some deep breathing or meditation. Migraines are often associated with stress and tension, so any practise that helps them to relax and de-stress will go a long way towards relieving the ache or minimizing its impact.

Pain is as big part of a migraine. Interestingly, though, 40% of the ache people feel is actually due to their anticipation of the ache. That’s another reason why revivification is such an effective tool to use in these cases.

A revivification is all about tap into a pleasant memory, creating a positive effect, putting your client into a good mood, and changeable the style they experience the pain of a migraine. Once you’ve taken them through a revivification, they’ll know that they can cope with the pain more easily next time they feel a migraine coming on. They’ll have the resources they need to :P TAGEND

Recognize the signals when a migraine is approaching Slow down and focus on a pleasant memory Take the energy away from the pain and direct it towards a positive and enjoyable experience instead

You’ve probably heard the expression that where attention goes, energy flows. That’s true with migraines as well. As long as your client’s attention is focused on the ache, the ache will be more intense. Get them to focus on something else, and the pain will diminish. That’s the power of a revivification.

The main function behind a revivification is to intensify an emotional experience. But it’s also possible to find resources from a memory that isn’t quite so pleasant.

For example, suppose your client tells you that they’ve just finished a really tough exam. They might not have felt particularly elated at the end of it. In fact, they might tell you that they felt drained and depleted and are just relieved that the whole thing is over with.

That exam could typify their ability to overcome difficulties, to endure when the going gets tough. So even though it might not have been a “pleasant” experience for them, they nevertheless can extract some real benefit from it, which is their ability to face difficult situations and find the resources within themselves to get through them successfully.

So next time a client comes to you feeling powerless against their repeat migraines, why not try a revivification and arm them with the tools to take back control.

OC ReMix #3179: Final Fantasy II 'Rebirth' [Revival] by Brandon Strader  

Brandon fucking Strader... Even though this is apparently an older mix of his, it is more than quite amazing to my ears. I adore the soundscape and the melody development in it. It has one of my favorite instruments in it, a sexy saxophone, but also so mild wub-wub and also chorals. It is very eclectic, in a wonderfully organic way.
