Celeste Hackett, CH The Debt Free Hypnotist

I've been thinking a lot about what makes a hypnosis practice work and one thing I think is extremely important is being a decent manager of money. The truth is if you can't handle money, you’ll fail in any business. Being able to budget, putting money aside to save up for things, saying no to something you know you don’t need right now, even when you have a strong desire for it, shopping around for the best prices, and knowing what you are willing to lose are some of the things common to those… Continue

James Hazlerig Good Omen

So today I got my DBA and set up my business bank account. As I was getting the money out to pay the county clerk for my DBA, my hand slid to the part of my wallet where I keep my business cards, and I pulled one out. I just had a feeling I need to give one to the county clerk. So, she took my notarized application and said, "Harmony Hypnosis. So can you help with weight loss? I need to lose a few pounds, but my sister really needs help." I smiled. "Do I help with weight loss?" I said. "Why, ye… Continue

Richard Rumble Stage Hypnosis and the UK Hypnosis Act of 1952

So... while in a heated discussion on one of the lists here on Hypnothoughts, the UK Hypnosis Act of 1952 was mentioned several times by one of the participants. Being Unfamiliar with the the actual verbiage of the UK LAW on how you MUST do a hypnosis show in the UK.. I thought it would be good to take a look at it. The way that it was used in the posting, I was expecting this HUGE list of DO NOT DO THIS.. DO NOT DO THAT.... and what I imagined was a difficult list of requirements and a bunch o… Continue

Celeste Hackett, CH Hypnotic Photos from Peru

A few years ago I went with a couple of friends to Peru. My friend, Lynn, took a bunch of photos with a digital camera while there. He took the photos and then left to go back home a week ahead of us. When we got back to the US we met up for lunch and he showed me all the pics he had printed out. He had them in an album. These were his last ones. He said, " I took these pics of you when you were meditating above the Incan wall that day. I took them one right after another with no waiting. There… Continue

Brian David Phillips Derren Brown versus Richard Bandler

Derren Brown has had to back down from some of his very critical statements about Neruolinguistic Programming (NLP) and - more specifically - about Richard Bandler, one of the founders of NLP. In his book, Trick of the Mind, Brown called NLP a bit of a pyramid scheme rather than a legitimate approach to the mind and therapeutic change. He also took a swipe at Bandler, equating him to a con man.

Bandler and friends took umbrage and hit Brown with a suit. Brown has backed down a…

So he came back in stating that he felt incredible for about 3 days, then at work when he had to meet a big client for a sales lunch, he began to feel very nervous again and it is so bad he is stil feeling it big time in his stomach. HE says he's been eating rolaids all day. In fact, he is BACK to eating them like candy like when I met him three weeks ago. We had done regression in the last session and I thought everything was cleared up. What do you do when something like that happens? Well, i… Continue

I use Google Alerts to do this (see my videos on this site for how to set up Google Alerts). Sometimes, I also find really good examples of what NOT to do.

James Hazlerig Be Careful What You Ask For

My wife is reading a book called _Eat, Pray, Love_, and she is enjoying it so much that she reads various passages to me. (This is one of the many things I love about my wife.) Anyway, one of them has a wonderful case for the "Be Careful What You Ask For and How You Phrase It" file; here's the quick version: A man who had faced many struggles in his life decided that being open and loving towards all was a good approach, so he prayed repeatedly, saying, "Dear Lord, please open my heart.

Stephen Gruber Choosing a Consulting Hypnotist

In my experience some people who would benefit from working with a Hypnotist can feel uneasy about selecting a professional to work with the first time if they do not have a personal referral. There are a range of variables (experience, training, fees, etc. to name a few) that someone unfamiliar with our world is not sure how to interpret. To help potenital clients new to hypnosis with these issues I have prepared a brief free report on the subject that is available from my site; www.ask-the-hy… Continue

Patricia V. Scott "MEDICINE OF THE MIND" AUTHOR, DR. PRESTON, SURPRISES ME!

This has been an exciting week, culminating in an unexpected hour-long telephone call with Dr. Michael Preston, author of "Medicine of the Mind". I studied extensively with Dr. Preston in the early 1990's and haven't seen or spoken with him in many years. Since he was in his 70's when I studied with him, I wasn't even sure if he was still of this world. An interesting twist of fate that included someone "borrowing" my cherished signed copy of "Medicine of The Mind" about 2 years ago and never re… Continue

Whew! I've spent pretty much all day whittling away at my marketing and development to-do list. I'm posting wherever it's free and a few places it isn't, and I've approached several local organizations about giving presentations and demonstrations. I contacted a local charity about donating a session to their raffle, and I designed the gift certificate.

Victor Sturm Giving with an Intuitive Heart

Hi, As some of you know, I am from Belgium and when buying a service there, let's say a haircut from a barber at a salon, or a waiter's service in a restaurant, tip for a taxi cab driver, or a bell hop, etc., the tips are all included. Even the VAT (Value Added Tax) is shown for products on the shelves of super market stores. When I moved to the US, as was defined in the life's programming of my soul, I did not realize there was such a thing as giving tips for services. Quickly I learned that i… Continue

I finally did it. I made my first one. Inspired by this YouTube video. Half way through I was panicking that I wouldn't have enough pictures, but I think it turned out OK. I took a picture of it, so I'll probably laminate that later so I have a "mobile" version! I know a few people on here use the PC version, but I prefer "hands on" - I can really get into the creative process in a tactile way that digital pictures don't do for me, but at… Continue

Elaina McMillan Sexual Confidence, It's Yours for the Taking

While recently engaging in a little self-exploration, I revisited the topic of Sexual Confidence. I knew that sexual confidence was not exclusively reserved for the super beautiful or for the ultra skilled. I also knew that beauty and skill did not guarantee sexual confidence. So where does this elusive power live, and how do we get our hands on it? What is sexual confidence and how does it differ from confidence in general? Can we be confident in life and not in the bedroom? These are the que… Continue

SUSAN FOX Do You Feel Excited To Do Public Presentations?

Okay everyone who says, "I have the public speaking fear! Help!" Here's something that might be useful for you. If you shy away from prospecting for sales or doing public presenations, it is because your left brain is attempting to dominate your right brain. The left brain is the task-oriented brain hemisphere. That means it feels fulfilled doing tasks. The left brain thinks in closed-minded and narrow-minded thought patterns. Prospecting or doing public speaking are right hemisphere activiti… Continue

Rather than trying to develop a thick emotional skin toward beating off fear; a more effective (and emotionally healthy) approach is to seek an understanding why positive emotions are eaten into by fear.

Our imaginations often and easily amplify our fears and can spring up from an immediate stimulus.

Patricia V. Scott WHO'S AFRAID OF THE WORD "HYPNOSIS"?

It still amazes me after 16 years in the business. I go to at least 4 conferences each year and it still amazes me how many professional Hypnotists espouse the "belief" that you can't, or shouldn't, or better not use the word "Hypnosis" when you are out in the community giving talks. I can't imagine (and don't want to) a more limiting belief for a Hypnotherapist to hold. When I was first Certified in 1992, that was what I was told. "People are afraid of hypnosis, so use other words", was the me… Continue

So, you'll have to forgive me, I'm kind of an intruder. I'm not a hypnotist, but dating one for the last little while has exposed me to a new way to see the world. I'm an engineer by training, which means that I'm about as analytical as it gets. It's not that I don't see or appreciate gray areas, but I understand the black and white more. It was a very different kind of experience to hear someone tell me the ways that they can, in many ways very precisely and deliberately, help people change the… Continue

Today, I did my first smoking cessation session, which was also the first session I did for someone who wasn't a close friend or volunteer. Of course, I did not tell my client that it was my first smoking cessation. :-) The really interesting challenge was that her primary sense is smell . . . Still, when we finished, she said, "Wow!
