Encyclopedia www.hypnosisfederation.com This feat immensely builds confidence in ones own powers. It is terrific to use as a demonstration in front of many as you need a third person for more impact. Hypnotize your client, and directly suggest, I am going to teach you how to make your body light or heavy, under the control of your own mind. Stand up nice and tall with your feet flat on the floor. Think of yourself as becoming light in weight. And as you do we will have someone lift you from the floor. Then have a strong person grip them around the waist, and lift them from the floor. The lifter will be able to do this easily. Then have client returned to floor and suggest: You will go deeper and deeper into hypnosis, as you now stand on the floor. This first lift at a light weight is performed easily and naturally. The strong lifter stays nearby as you continue: Now stand up nice and tall again and think of yourself becoming so powerful and solid that you wont budge. This gives you great confidence in yourself, you can now make your body so heavy with your will power that the strong man cannot now lift you from the floor at all. To effect perfect results, you place your right hand on the wrist of the lifter and the index finger of your left hand upon the side of lifters neck, and press in. By pressing simultaneously upon these body points, the strongest man can be defied to make the lift. It works perfectly. Try as the man will, the client has made himself so heavy he cant be lifted from the floor. So you see, you have learned how to make himself light or heavy, at your own mental command.

MYTH & METAPHOR BY PETER BLUM

A metaphor is a linguistic representation of experience that stands for a parallel experience. It communicates on a multiplicity of dimensions that is different than straight communication. When a word or phrase denotes one idea, it suggests an analogy and the listener fills in a description to apply it to another idea. Metaphors can be real world experiences or make-believe tales that illustrate or illuminate a particular viewpoint or lead someone toward a particular outcome. Metaphors can be simple or complex symbols, Zen koans, ritual, words, stories, parables, myths, legend, comedy or a joke. Metaphors provide vicarious learning experience, and let us entertain novel experiences and a new perspective. It is also a fail-safe way for the hypnotist to instruct the client without arousing resistance. Metaphor is found in the great spiritual traditions and teachings of the world (the Bible, The Tao Te Ching, The Koran). The Holy Communion is a huge symbolic and metaphoric impact. Aesops Fables like The Tortoise and the Hare are a great example of using metaphors. Here, two distinct personality types compete, with the winner living slow and stable over the losers fast and impetuous style. The Grasshopper and the Ant Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Sleeping Beauty, Jack and The Beanstalk, Aladdins Magic Lamp, are metaphors Psychiatrist and Hypnotherapist, Dr. Milton Erickson, employed metaphors extensively in his hypnotic language patterns in assigning his clients ordeal therapy tasks. For instance, some people who came to see him were told to climb a nearby mountain- a fairly rigorous hike. When they got to the top they were to see something special; something of significance. Everyone, of course, saw something different. For successful hypnosis and therapy, its a good idea to involve the client. By following the suggestion of taking the hike, the client metaphorically agrees to do the work. Sometimes a client lacks a greater vision in their day-to-day existence. Here, the metaphor of looking out at a panoramic view from the top of a mountain and seeing something of unique personal importance, could be interpreted in an open-ended way as finding the particular goal or Hello all members

inner meaning in life. Erickson assumed that we all have the ability to solve what troubles but need to master these abilities in the context in which the problem occurs. The task of therapy is to transfer this know-how from their current context to a different context. Metaphor accomplishes this. A good analogy or metaphor leaves the client to ultimately judge what the story means, how it is interpreted, and what kind of response is best. Its as if you help the client have a dream while in trance. Like dream interpretation, if the material in the metaphor is not relevant, it will most likely be discarded. If the material is stressful for the client, it can be consciously dismissed as just a story (just a dream) while the unconscious is free to respond in a meaningful way. Zeig (1980) summarized Ericksons reasons for using metaphorical anecdotes: 1. They are non-threatening and bypass resistance 2. They are engaging. 3. They foster independence causing you to make sense out of the message and reach a selfinitiated action for which they are responsible. 4. They create confusion and promote hypnotic responsiveness 5. Anecdotes tag the memory, making the presented idea more memorable. Native American ceremonial healer Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrrow) in his book Ceremonies of the Living Spirit says: Puns, metaphors, parables, and stories are the teaching tools of the spiritual teacher in every tradition. Metaphors connect the world around us with the metaphysical, giving us a window on the infinite. A metaphor is not simply a figure of speech... it is energy in a state of action, breathing life into ceremony. We work with metaphor to find the essence of everything we encounter... When traditional Native American people look at material reality, we are looking not for scientific truth but for the metaphors. To look at a thing as metaphor is to ask, What principal idea is it expressing? Just as someone in frustration might say, Here, let me draw you a picture we use metaphor to draw mental pictures... to engage in the symbolic interpretation so we capture the deepest truths in a literal, direct, word-way. The bottom line is this, all experience has a metaphor, either explicit or implicit, alongside its literal meaning. An effective metaphor entertains, arouses curiosity, stimulates imagination, clarifies emotions, develops intellect, and attunes you to issues, answers and options. In hypnosis a metaphor is especially used in the intake, assessment phase and feedback phases of a session.

We recently started to use a new computer program for members. We thought it was to send out notices to all members when their dues are due...WRONG. Therefore you did not get a notice when your dues were due and probably wont get an invoice when your dues are due. Help us with the dues this year and we will do our best to have the issue resolved by the time your dues are due next year. You can go to the website and renew with paypal or send a check or call Shelley with the credit card information. Dues are still only $65 per year. page 3

TRUE LIFE SELF-HYPNOSIS TALE (Excerpts from Marcia Linahan, Professor of Psychology and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington) My mind has been my best friend and my worst enemy I had lots of problems. I had phobias and obsessions. I believed that there was a man standing outside of my window every night, waiting to break in and kill us. I felt myself losing coherence. Imagine a sand castle with all the sand sliding away in the receding surf. At 16, I read Sylvia Plath and then left school in middle of the day and walked several miles home. As I did, the houses got ominous and foreboding. I thought that they were sending me messages. Look! You must see! You are bad! I heard it as thoughts that were put in my head by the houses. A psychotic episode is a waking nightmare. You're terrified, confused, and believe the bizarre. At Oxford University I was depressed. I lost my appetite and a huge amount of weight. I thought I wasn't supposed to speak because it would spread my evil. I was socially isolated and thought people were talking about me and laughing behind my back, which may have been true. I walked down the street gesticulating and talking to myself. I formed delusional beliefs, like Ive killed lots of people with my thoughts or people are setting off nuclear explosions in my brain or my brain's going to leak out of my ears and drown people. For 26 months I was put in a mental hospital. It was horrifying, demeaning and debilitating. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and secluded in a fourwalled room with a bed, a chair and a tiny, barred window. They left me really out; my soul was tossed somewhere askew; My limbs were tossed here about. I was dosed with Freudian analysis and Thorazine and Librium and strapped down for some 30 electroshock treatments. My medical care made it worse. I made a vow when I get out, Im going to come back and get others out of here. I left the institute as a desperate 20year-old. After several suicide attempts and another hospitalization, I signed up for classes at Loyola University. One night, kneeling in prayer, the whole place became goldI felt something coming toward me. It was a shimmering experience and I ran back to my room saying, I love myself. It was the first time I talked to myself in the first person. I felt transformed. The high lasted about a year, before the feelings of devastation returned in the wake of an ended romance. But, something was different. I could now weather her emotional storms without harming myself. What changed? I accepted myself as I was. I tried to kill myself because of the gulf between who I wanted to be and the person I was. I earned a PhD at Loyola in 1971. Mindfulness meditation and behavioral therapy helped me act appropriately to the way I feel. When a transient thought comes to mind I say, Oh that's your illness acting up. A direct, warts-and-all approach can help outof-control eating disorders, drug addictions, suicidal tendencies or mental issues. People with borderline personality disorders who acknowledge their behavior and accept that their cutting, burning and suicide attempts made sense and then make a verbal pledge to change their behavior; in exchange for a chance to live. DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY or D.B.T. 1. Radical Acceptance; Accept life as it is, not as its supposed to be. 2. Behavior Change; Agree to change for a chance to live despite and because of the reality of what you are. Notice what it is like when you go off and take steps before it really takes you over.

WHY YOU GO INTO TRANCE: Attempts to identify the whats and whys of trance: 1. Hereditary; Youre hypnotized because its a genetic characteristic. 2. Physiology; Youre hypnotized because of brain inhibition and excitation. 3. Internal Environment; Hypnosis results from biochemical substances exchanged in your brain. 4. Learning; Like all learning hypnosis is simply conditioning. 5. Social-Cultural; Hypnosis is contagious suggestibility and role-playing. 6. Developmental; You are hypnotized because of dissociation and regression to earlier thinking, feeling and behavior that revives child-parent relationships and transference.

Nuts & Bolts of Hypnosis Demonstrations By Carm Blacconiere Carm will teach you rapid inductions at our up-coming Its All About YOU, Retreat, March 2-4. Carm is the head of the MidAmerica Hypnosis group in Chicago. Hypnosis is the process of suggesting to the subconscious a picture or idea that it can accept. Its all about rapport and you being able to communicate to your clients subconscious mind what you want them to experience. You are like an artist using words and actions instead of paint and brushes. Your art form changes their self image as the become the person they came to you to be. Hand Demonstration First you extend and set their hand with a gentle tug and ask them to keep it there. Exaggerate an arc and gently push the hand down slightly as you pass you hand over theirs. Each time you pass your hand over theirs slightly pressing down, you can usually tell if they are trying to keep it there and then you start a pass again but this time, you dont touch the hand but raise your hand up and theirs will follow. If theyre not watching (looking away, or closing their eyes) just barely touch their wrist

with one finger. This suggests to the subconscious mind Im going to push down and it will cause them to push up. It feels to them as if you have a magnet that is attracting their hand. Some may say that this is a reflex action but what is a reflex action? Its the subconscious mind reacting before the conscious mind is aware of it. That may be what is happening in hypnosis. The subconscious mind gets programmed and before the conscious mind can get in the way, there is an action and that response can be very positive, when directed properly. The Induction The pendulum is one of the oldest inductions in hypnosis. Any swinging device can be used as a pendulum. Swinging a pencil or light can give the same results. You can start with the object 12-15 inches away from the face about eye level or slightly above eye level telling them keep their eyes on the pendulum. Then swing the pendulum slowly back and forth while closely observing your client or volunteer. Raise the pendulum slightly and bring it a little closer. They will begin to blink. Usually they dont notice this so tell them Soon theyll begin to blink and keep the pendulum swinging. Soon your eyelids will become heavy and they will want to stay closed when they blink. You

may want to lower the pendulum allowing their eyes to close more. Then say, allow your eyelids to close comfortably as you relax deeper and deeper with each breath you exhale. You can go into all kinds of deepening techniques from there. Suggestions The more emotion you influence, the more effective your suggestion will be. If you can paint an energetic/emotional picture in their mind as to what they are going to feel as they accomplish their goal, the more the subconscious mind will be affected. Many times we dont know what the client will do to accomplish their goal, but we can still facilitate them to do things. One suggestion could be You will find yourself doing things to accomplish your goal. Ideas will come to you to help you achieve your goal. To enhance results say, every time you see the color ______ (their favorite) you will feel more in control of your life and will reinforce all positive and beneficial suggestions. You can suggest, How good you feel. Others notice something wonderfully different about you. And every day you notice something excellent is happening and how well things are going.

BANGS FOR BUCK effect was complete. The Bangs Sisters of Chicago marketed clairvoyance, sance trumpet effects, spirit materializations, automatic writing, spirit typewriting, and slate effects. Rev. Stanley L. Krebs, who attended one demonstration/sances in 1901 reported; A spirit replied to a multipaged letter. I was instructed to bring it in a sealed envelope. The letter was placed between two bound slates. Using a small mirror I viewed under the table as the bound slates were surreptitiously wedged apart, the envelope dropped into Miss Bangss lap, and then transferred to a tray on the floor and drawn under a closed door. Later (after her sister steamed open the envelope and penned a reply) the impossible

NICOTINE DRUG RISKS Tobacco use is responsible for one in five deaths in the United States each year and adds $193 billion to health care costs. An estimated 36 percent of U.S. smokers attempt to quit each year. Hypnosis is the best helper. Drugs the worst. Take the case of the drug Chantix (varenicline). As of July 1, 2009, the drug carries a black box warning from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) because of overwhelming public reports of the side effects of depression, and suicidal thoughts and actions. Researchers at the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center concur. The FDA studies did not even capture most of the serious psychiatric side effects, including suicide, depression, aggression and assaults because of the use of these drugs. Curt D. Furberg, MD, PhD, professor of Public Health Sciences at Wake Forest Medical Center and his team of scientists analyzed 3,249 case reports in the FDAs Adverse Event Reporting System from 1998 through September 2010 noted 2,925 (90 percent) cases of suicidal behavior or depression for varenicline, 229 (7 percent) for bupropion, and 95 (3 percent) cases for nicotine replacement products. Additionally, Varenicline was associated with aggression and violence in three studies and its effects on vision, cognition and motor control and other risks caused it to be banned for airline pilots, air traffic controllers, military pilots and missile crews, and restricted for truck drivers. It is also associated with a serious increase cardiovascular events, according to a July 4, 2011, Canadian Medical Association Journal report.

BE A BETTER SPEAKER By Henry Leo Bolduc Public speaking is a career that is here to stay! Its roots go back to antiquity and it flourishes today, and it will continue growing as long as someone has something interesting to relate or valuable information to share. As long as people want to learn, grow and have fun, there will be speakers to teach and entertain and audiences to learn and enjoy. Learn to be a speaker, and become a teacher who imparts your knowledge to the enlightenment of humanity. In this mediadriven age, people want REAL speakers and live action. Certainly, electronic images and sound-bytes can be beamed to larger audiences but a real person speaking to a live audience will always have the advantage over electronic illusion. Even if you do not intend to become a professional speaker, you will benefit greatly from the experience. Preparation for a speech will give you practice in researching for material and organizing your thoughts and ideas in a logical, orderly fashion. Done properly, public speaking will increase your vocabulary and improve your grammar. Practicing the speech will improve your voice and diction. The actual presentation will increase your self-confidence and sharpen your thought processes when you are questioned. Many are terrified at the thought of standing before an audience and delivering a speech. Even the most experienced speakers sometimes suffer from stage-fright before a presentation. It would be unusual if this did not occur. Do not let this deter you; once you have taken this first step, broken the ice, so to speak, you will have overcome this first hurdle and will relax and enjoy the experience. At this point you may ask, Who are you and what qualifies you to be giving this advice? It is precisely who I am that allows me to feel qualified to encourage you, because I have experienced all the doubts, fears, and uncertainties you may feel. I certainly dont claim to be a great speaker. I have never had any training or classes in public speaking. Notwithstanding, I am a professional speaker; I began my career about sixteen years ago, starting out slowly until now I am presenting workshops arid programs almost, every week throughout the country (and frequently in foreign countries). Thus, I feel that, using my own experience, I can encourage you to take that first step, get started, and share your knowledge and experience. You speak to people every day; if you can speak to one person, you can as easily speak to two. When you can speak to two, it is easy to speak to three, and so on. Everything in life starts slowly. Learning is gradual. You have already done the hard part: you have learned a language and have spoken to ONE person. If you sit around with family or friends and talk, that IS informal speaking to a group. You probably ALREADY do that. Soon you can expand to other informal groups like a club, or a book discussion group. Many people belong to study groups where sharing is easy and comfortable. Toastmasters International is a group with local clubs in virtually every city. If you can join a Toastmasters Club, I recommend it highly. Membership in Toastmasters gives you an opportunity to practice before a sympathetic, supportive group, which will give constructive criticism and practical advice in a friendly, nonthreatening atmosphere. Its primary advantage is that it permits one to practice, and the only way one can become a good speaker is with practice. If you mainly focus your talk on YOU, youll never be a great speaker. When your primary focus is to help others, you will encourage and inspire them to reach their highest potential. This is the goal of great speakers. Most speeches teach, entertain, or are to recognize and credit others. YOU are only the presenter- WHAT you have to give is far more important than WHO you are. THAT is the great secret of public speaking. If you think only of yourself, youll become nervous and ineffective. When you think of how much you can give to the group, then you excel! Successful speakers share certain practices and techniques. Among other things, they make it a point to entertain as well as to inform just as good teachers do. In fact, you can think of yourself as a teacher, as you share your knowledge with others. Good speakers also deepen and expand their bond with their audiences through openness, sensitivity, and humor. TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR SPEAKING 1. Be thoroughly prepared and comfortable with your material. Enthusiasm builds automatically when your topic is something you know. The audience perceives this immediately, and responds accordingly. But remember, the actual spoken words are only a SMALL part of the message you convey. People communicate in numerous ways, such as bodylanguage, eye movements, unconscious signals, a smile or a frown even a well-chosen silence can be filled with meaning. A pause

has been said to be pregnant because it can give birth to great inspiration or revelation. 2. Be Yourself Most important of all, be yourself. You are only human we all are that includes being spontaneous, candid, kind, vulnerable; whatever else happens is what happens! Your audience will identify with you. I surely have done and said sonic truly stupid things through the years, but I have learned the MOST through my worst experiences. You will, too, if you dont take yourself too seriously. 3. Enhance your presentation with creative use of newspaper clippings, cartoons, music, appropriate quotes, or relevant experiences. Dont bore your audience with common knowledge; keep them expectant and on their toes with fresh and interesting material. 4. Develop a bond with your audience. If possible, greet them individually as they enter the room. Thank them for their promptness and encourage them to preview any early handouts or reference materials. Move around the room during the presentation rather than standing behind a lectern. This makes you and your audience more accessible to each other. Involve them in the talk by soliciting comments and information. You will be surprised at the knowledge of the audience and the insights you will receive. One word of caution, however: dont lose control of the agenda and allow the discussion to get out of focus. 5. Use self-deprecating humor to get your points across. This allows your audience to identify with your foibles. Dont use canned jokes. Humor will develop naturally from your work or your presentations. Humor is the icing on the cake of your presentation. 6. Avoid reading scripts. Reading results in a dull, boring experience. If people want a technical presentation, theyd do better to read a journal or a book. Your talk should teach helpful procedures (I suggest you provide a manual or other handouts), but the overall purpose is for your audience to enjoy the learning. Instead of a prepared lecture, I use only a small card listing or outlining a few general topics to cover. As mentioned above, you should be comfortable with, enthusiastic about, and know your subject. If you do, you do not need a script. You could tell the group that if they desire reference notes or a list of sources, they could write you. 7. Avoid UMMs, AHHs and ERRs. These are the unconscious chants that speakers hum when they are thinking of what to say next. When you need to think for a minute, STOP, take a deep breath, or smile or something, but not UMMs. The audience will not mind a brief pause most appreciate it so they can absorb what you had been saying. 8. Practice your speech. Experts say, Practice makes perfect and even if the practice doesnt make you perfect, it will certainly make your presentation better. First, outline the major items you want to cover and the order that you want to present them. Organize your references and supporting material to follow your outline. Then go over the speech mentally. Do this several times until you are satisfied that you are comfortable with the material. Now you are ready to practice it aloud. Find a place where you will not be disturbed. If you forget things, or make mistakes. Dont let that discourage you. If you are not satisfied, just start over, and continue until you have gone through the speech at least once to your satisfaction. At this point, you may want to record the speech and listen to it to identify places where it can be improved. Listening to your first attempt can be a very humbling experience, but you will learn from it. Just do it. Finally, if you want to, practice it before a friend or loved one and ask for comments. If you do all this, when the time comes, you will be prepared and comfortable with your material. 9. Go to the location where you will speak. Go early and check out the facilities. Is the seating properly arranged? Are the visual aids ready? Test the microphone and audio system; people wont appreciate it if you have to waste time adjusting the system, or if it. too loud or too low. If this is an allday presentation, have you arranged for refreshments at the breaks? Are they there? Attention to these small details beforehand get you off to a smooth start. These advance preparations make it unlikely that anything will go wrong. THE MOMENT OF TRUTH Okay, you have a topic that you are excited and knowledgeable about. You have practiced with friends or small informal groups. You want to share your information. You have been invited to speak. Now is a good time to prepare yourself psychologically. Use selfhypnosis to channel adrenaline into enthusiasm and high energy and activate your sense of humor. The big day has arrived. You are introduced now what? Go up, adjust the microphone, and THANK your introducer and the organization which invited you, Greet the audience. Then take a moment to smile and slowly look around the audience

BE A BETTER SPEAKER from pg 7 this minute may seem like an eternity but you need this minute to get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Not nervousness, but shock. As you look out across the audience what you see will shock you it shocked me at first but now I recognize it everywhere. People will be facing you but they will be frowning. Yes, some will look sad, others dull and some stare blankly. This look has nothing to do with you- it is simply how most people sit when listening to a speaker. (If you are lucky, about one person in a hundred will dare to smile at you!) Immediately youll wonder, Oh God, whats wrong? NOTHING is wrong. That simply is what an audience looks like from the speakers stand. That is the reason many speakers tell a joke to test if everyone is actually alive! You do NOT need to test, for I assure you that if they paid to attend, or they are actually sitting there, it is because they want to hear you. It is that simple. So GIVE them something important to hear and think about. Jump right in and use every precious minute you have together. When I first started, I was so eager to GIVE so much that I often spoke too fast that is a mistake also. Just give what you can, make it clear, be honest, and be sure to look at the audience as you speak. Slowly move your attention and eyes around the room and speak to the audience exactly as you would to a friend or a group of friends. If you come to a point where you wonder what to say next, take a small pause; that pause gives everyone a breather. Better still, ask the audience for questions. If you have a large group, be certain to repeat the question so that everyone can hear it. This interchange allows you to lighten up and reveal your humanity. If you have a good answer, share it. If you do not, be willing to admit you dont and offer to find it. Keep answers brief and THANK the questioner (It takes courage on their part to ask). Above all, be courteous and polite, no matter how irrelevant the question. If your presentation continues for several hours, remember to take breaks! People cannot concentrate with full bladders!! Its hard for them to pay much attention when they are squirming in their seats. I usually break about every hour-and-a-half. Before they leave, announce a definite time for them to return. When you speak, you give of yourself fully. It is also wise to give something tangible, like handouts; articles, data, charts, or even an appropriate cartoon. BE SURE to have your name, address and telephone number on all handouts, so people can contact you later on. I usually pass around a pad of paper for people who want to be on my mailing list. Ask them to PRINT their e-mail or address with ZIP codes. Some of your audience may write to you. If so, by all means respond. Your correspondent will appreciate and remember it, and you may find someone with whom you have much in common. I have made many friends and received much help from people who have written after one of my presentations. I always allow people to tape record all my presentations. The tape will continue to teach and reach people long after the actual event. I also avoid lecterns or podiums, as that becomes a barrier between me and the audience. A good microphone is important and I prefer the clip-on type to the hand-held variety (this leaves your hands free to write on a board or to gesture). End every presentation with a time for questions and answers. If you have hooks or tapes for sale this is a good time to hold them up for people to see, and to tell them where in the room they will be available. Speaking to any group is an honor and a gift. A speaker has a great responsibility not just in what you teach, but in how you live. Counsel may sometimes be confusing, but your example is always clear. Demonstrate your truth. Speak your ancient wisdom, reveal your vision for the future. Encourage and inspire others to help build a better future for humanity. Love your audience, and they will multiply that love a thousand-fold and return it. page 8

TWENTY-FIVE WAYS TO SUPPRESS TRUTH: DISINFORMATION By H. Michael Sweeney (Cultural Hypnotism Submitted by Robert Stefan [rstefan01@hotmail.com] 1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, dont discuss it. This is especially used by a public figure, or news anchor. If its not reported, it didnt happen, and you never have to deal with it. 2. Be incredulous and indignant. How dare you! Avoid discussing key issues. Instead, focus on side issues that show the topic was actually critical of some otherwise group or theme. 3. Create wild rumors. Regardless of the evidence, use the Internet to certify it as a wild rumor with no basis in fact. Better yet create rumors and wild accusations against the fact giver. 4. Use a straw man. Create an element of your opponents argument you can easily knock down so they look bad. Imply an issue based on their argument. Select the weakest aspect of the weakest charge. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way that appears to debunk all charges, real and fabricated, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues. 5. Boring old news. Similar to the straw man when you foresee an issue raise an issue and deal with it prior to an expected attack. Then, when the predicted charges come associate them with the original charge and dismiss it as a rehash of the past. 6. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the issue at hand completely. 7. Sidetrack Attack the messenger Use name calling and ridicule. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as kooks, right-wing, liberal, leftwing, terrorists, conspiracy buffs, radicals, militia, racists, religious fanatics, sexual deviates, and so forth. This creates fear and takes the heat off of you and the issue. 8. Hit and Run. In a public forum, briefly attack of your opponent or their position then scamper off before you have to answer questions. Or simply ignore an answer. This works well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor. Make an accusation, never discussing issues, or answer subsequent responses. 9. Question motives. Twist a fact to imply that the opponent has a hidden agenda or bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive. 10. Invoke authority. Associate yourself with authority and present your argument with jargon and minutiae to illustrate that you are the one who knows. Then simply say it isnt so without discussing issues. 11. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or argument is offered, avoid discussing issues it has no credibility It doesnt make any sense It doesnt prove anything There is no point that supports that conclusion. 12. Demand impossible proofs. A variant of the play dumb rule. Regardless of what is presented, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible to come by (it may exist, but not be at their disposal, or it may be destroyed or withheld- ie a murder weapon). You may have to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as

valid sources, witnesses, or statements made by authorities as irrelevant. 13. Establish a fall-back position. Take a minor matter or element and on the high road confess with candor an innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made but that they blow it all out of proportion. Then imply greater criminalities, just isnt so. Others can reinforce this on your behalf. This garners sympathy and respect for coming clean and owning up to mistakes without addressing more serious issues. 14. Enigmas have no solution. An overall umbrella of events paints the entire issue as too complex to solve. This helps people to lose interest without having to address the actual issues. 15. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussing an issues by reasoning backwards with an apparent deductive logic in a way that forbears any actual material fact. 16. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the issue was planned with contingency conclusions in place. 17. Vanishing evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you wont have to address the issue. 18. Change the subject. Used along other ploys, side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments. This works especially well with those who argue with you thus you avoid discussing key issues. 19. Emotionalize, antagonize, and goad. Chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses that make them look foolish. You can then focus on how sensitive they are to criticism. 20. False evidence. Design and manufacture new facts and clues that conflict with opponent points to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best with contingencies of purpose, and when facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications. 21. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively. 22. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the process and neutralize sensitive issues. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. Owning the prosecuting attorney, can insure that a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed and unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict is achieved, the matter can be officially closed. 23. Create bigger distractions. To prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract. 24. Silence critics. Remove opponents from circulation by death, arrest, detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or by intimidation. 25. Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, vacate the kitchen.

FIRST AID FROM YOUR KITCHEN Let thy kitchen be thy apothecary, and let foods be your medicine. Hippocrates (Thanks to Anne Spencer for sending this) An organic diet and natural or herbal remedies for ailments may make a huge difference. So here are some First Aid Suggestions: Onion slices - applied to bruises may relieve pain and reduce discoloration. Breaks and Strains: Stop any bleeding, splint any breaks, and bandage as necessary. Arnica compresses treat bumps, bruises, sprains, and strains. Colds: Garlic poultice applied to the chest to ward off cold symptoms. Constipation: Drink plenty of water and take a brisk walk each day. A cup wheat bran in a cup of hot milk, ripe fruit, such as bananas, dates, grapes, raisins, apricots, guava, and papaya help. So does hot milk with two tablespoons honey or four or five dried prunes. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables, especially spinach, raw spinach juice, beets, lettuce, and cabbage salad. A teaspoon of licorice powder mixed with some sugar and warm water can set you free. Diarrhea and Cramps: If neglected it will cause dehydration very quickly. Mix a teaspoon of nutmeg with mashed banana. This can be given to children. Infants can be given a bit of the liquid with a little water a teaspoon or less. This will relieve stomach cramps and colic in infants and acts as a sedative. Too much can be addictive. Buttermilk or fresh yogurt can be taken to ease the stomach too. Ear Infection: Raw unadulterated apple cider vinegar and rubbing alcohol equal parts dropped in the ear may kill an ear infection. Hay Fever: Raw unadulterated apple cider vinegar- drinking an ounce in a cup of water can reduce hay fever symptoms (some claim this will even cure it) when drunk daily during the season. It has also been claimed to be a catalyst in the bodys own repair system. Headache: Add one tablespoon of honey to raw, unadulterated apple cider vinegar and water and drink. Or heat the solution and

ANCHORS By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas Has our song brought a tear to your eye? Do you salivate when you smell cinnamon rolls? Youre anchored. An anchor is an internal or external stimulia gesture, facial expression, sight, smell, sound, feeling, taste, buzzword, phrase, smell, touch, colorthat elicits a specific response. When you automatically, by association, bring up a memory and/or a mind/body/emotional state, you know you are anchored. Anchors happen naturally or can be set up. A natural anchor occurs when you touch a person, say their name, and look them in the eye. You anchor a connection for them and a memory peg for yourself. Pavlovs dog was conditioned to salivate when a bell rang. The bell stimuli and the saliva response were anchored together. Pavlov called this the law of association. Hypnosis in this same way anchors positive feeling for success. Lets say that your client laughs. Touch their wrist and laugh with them and then quickly release the touch. You set an anchor. Joy and a touch are now linked or anchored on the wrist. Later in the session you can fire off this anchor by touching their wrist and saying, You now happily accomplish your goal. My Dr Shelleys Hi Ho Trigger works wonders as I tell my client to Touch your thumb to your forefinger in the okay sign and give yourself a post hypnotic suggestion like, Whenever I touch my thumb and finger together like this I remember that I am in control of my behavior and I feel terrific. In trance, hypnotists suggest a waking trigger like, It is safe in your world. There is always a bubble of protection that surrounds you. To remind yourself, all you need to do is to touch this place on your wrist and invisible protective energy will completely encapsulate you. Hypnotic anchors link good feeling to positive results. Hypnotically adopting an idea, buzzword or phrase in your waking life that evokes a conditioned response. E.g. Every time you see your wedding ring on your finger you say to yourself Items To Keep Handy: I enjoy getting along with my mate. Baking soda Or Every time you see the color green Honey Lemon juice - fresh or you will say to yourself I love fresh food. Such a stimuli or anchor works as concentrate a post-hypnotic suggestion to bring about Epson Salt an intense neurological state and the Raw apple cider vinegar desired result. Garlic A runner might say, full speed or full Onions energy and to automatically activate Herbs and spices: more push. A weight releaser may say the Cayenne name of a movie stat and feel motivated to Cinnamon Cloves - ground, whole, pass up dessert to look just their hero. A sexual enhancer might say, blissful and and clove oil vital, to feel sexier. And a test taker says, Dill I open my mind to all knowledge to Fennel Ginger powdered and fresh activate the part of the brain that learns and remembers. gingerroot You can also anchor in negative feelings Oregano in a form of aversion therapy. Every Peppermint time you see a candy bar you think this Rosemary page 9 vile, gross, disgusting thing. This vile, Sage breathe the fumes. Indigestion: Drink a cup of water with teaspoon of soda to reduce or prevent indigestion and gas. Take a teaspoon fresh ginger juice, a teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt after meals twice a day for a week or two. Or chew a small slice of fresh ginger sprinkled with sea salt before meals for a week or two. Scarring Prevention: Potato poultice - raw, grated potato used as a poultice relieves burns, swelling, swollen joints, strains, and sprains. When using on burns, first cool the area with cold running water, then add the potato poultice. Grate a clean, raw potato into mush. Apply directly to the affected area. Hold it in place by wrapping with plastic wrap or bandages. Shock: Place a rag soaked in arnica on top of the head or around the wrists or put a drop of the homeopathic solution under the tongue of the wounded person. Those in shock should be kept warm and still. Nausea: Barley water, arrowroot, rice, and oat gruel is very nutritious for those who cant retain solids. A few slices of onion or their leaves boiled with the gruel and strained out before eating helps too. Upset Stomach: Ginger, peppermint, or chamomile tea - for upset stomach. Bee Sting: A paste of baking soda and water will pull the stinger out of a bee sting and pull the poison from the area stung. Weight Loss: One tablespoon of honey to raw, unadulterated apple cider vinegar and water aids weight loss.

gross, disgusting thing and the candy bar are all mixed up in your head. Conflicting Anchoring Pavlov noted that when a negative and positive anchors were used at the same time a dog would not respond to either but became passive. Seemingly a confusing contradictory feeling to evoked neutrality. Hypnotists use this same mental confusion (cognitive dissonance) for an induction and to solve problems. Anchor Collapse: 1. Recall a difficult situation (e.g upset) As they do, squeeze their right shoulder and say, I know it hurts. Then remove your hand 2. Remember now a time when you felt so good everything was exciting? When they recall gently squeeze their left shoulder. 3. Test by squeezing the left shoulder again and saying, That feels better than the other one? Release. This feels so much better than this one. Squeeze the right shoulder 4. Squeeze both at the same time saying, Confusion is learning. Close your eyes and it will all clear up comfortably. After several minutes ask, What is going on? Then squeeze the negative right side to make sure there is no negative reaction release and then ask them to share how they are now feeling about the original problem. It will be gone. See Anchoring. Anchor New Parenting Programs 1.Think of a Parent Problem Close your eyes and think of time in the past when your parent (or parents) made a choice that has affected you negatively. 2. Anchor The Icky When that unhappy thought comes to mind touch your left shoulder with your left hand (or you, the Hypnotherapist, can touch their left shoulder or hand as you choose). 3. Think of A Gift You Hold Think of a wonderful resource like bravery, compassion, thoughtfulness, practicality, humorthat you now have that you wish you parents had back then. Good. 4. Anchor The Strength When that happy thought of your strength comes to mind, touch your right shoulder with your right hand. (Or you, the Hypnotherapist, can touch their right shoulder or hand as you choose). 5. Anchor Away Keep your hand on your right shoulder (or the hypnotist remains holding the positive anchor), lets imagine your parent(s) having this same precious resource and notice it would affect the choices they made in that time long ago, and now also put your left hand on your left shoulder (or the Hypnotherapist uses both the negative and positive anchor). You now freely relive that old memory in a new way. When you are complete smile, drop your hands in your lap (or hypnotist stops touching the anchor) and open your eyes. 6. Check In As you think about the past what difference do you notice?

THE BIOLOGY OF WHAT YOU FEEL BY SHELLEY STOCKWELLNICHOLAS, PhD Did you ever wonder what makes you think, say and do what you think, say and do? Ever wonder what makes you feel emotions? Your biological self! It recognizes processes, remembers, learns and creates your every behavior. This same biochemistry decides what you consciously notice and what remains unconscious. To a hypnotherapist, the conclusion is clear: your body IS your mind! How this happens is what this is about. You were born instinctively knowing how to lift your head, roll over or walk. It was hardwired into your thoughts and neurology. So was your ability to speak. Your ear canals, filled with sound amplified amniotic fluid, were so finely tuned that from birth to four months you could distinguish some 150 sounds that make up human speech. These miracles came with you as pre-programmed behavioral instructions. As you evolved and grew, you learned and honed additional behaviors that dramatically sculpted your molecules, neurons and structural development. Each biological adjustment in turn affected who you are and what you feel, think, say and do. HOW YOUR BRAIN PROCESSES THOUGHT Did you ever stop to think and forget to start again? Your awesome brain is primarily made of water, fat and protein. No two brains are the same, and your brain is not the same, moment to moment. Your brain hemispheres differ in size and distribution of gray and white matter, chemistry and structure. The very structure of your brain is influenced by how you use it. Everything you create begins as a conscious or subconscious thought manifested in your neurology. Every instant, your brain electrochemically alters neurons and their countless links; puberty, pregnancy, aging, past events and memory cause helpful structural brain function changes. Your internal and external environment sends a message to your cells. The cells receptors and their ligands then modify according to the information received and every modification affects your emotions and physiology. A cell and its modifications influence other cells. MIND/BODY LOVE CONNECTION Ever notice how your heart beats rapidly and your breathing changes when you are excited, angry or in love? Have you observed how your thoughts turn you on or off sexually? Consider how depression makes you feel physically rotten, super sensitive, or numb, and how happiness makes you free, easy and more vital. Emotion is e-motion or energy in motion. Each conscious or subconscious emotion is the result of an intricate biochemical action inside yourself that then inspires the next thing you feel. What you think emanates from inside your bio-computer. So does what you choose to do. In other words, what you do and how you feel is biologically based. What you see, hear, smell, taste, feel and intuit is received within a millisecond and placed into your memory. This, in turn, affects your decisions, feelings and imagination, and colors what next you see, hear, smell, taste, feel and intuit. The first symptoms of poor blood

circulation, says Dr. H.A. Parkyn, appear in your head. Poor memory, the inability to concentrate, sleeplessness, nervousness and headaches result and then your mental computer further reduces circulation. Physical environment affects your energy. Breathing stale air in a poorly ventilated room can make you feel mentally sluggish. Physical indigestion can cause mental depression. Conversely, depression can cause illness and illness can cause depression. Arthritis-like symptoms, digestive problems, (gastric ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, constipation, diarrhea, sinus problems) headaches (migraines) difficult breathing (upper respiratory infections, asthma), heart palpitations, dizziness, arthritis, fibromyalgia, shingles and chronic fatigue result from, contribute to and activate depressing changes in brain chemistry.

From the time you initially formed, your brain produced these chemicalbioelectrical impulses as communication links from one neuron to another. Synapses are a sort of telephone line that communicate and store information. If a synapse is destroyed, usually the information it stored slips your mind. Information that neurons send and receive travel long distances and form complex networks; networks of brain cells and synapses are called a neural web. A single neuron can receive more than fifteen thousand connections from other cells. Over 100 trillion neural connections have been counted; more than the number of galaxies in the known universe.

THE NEW PARADIGM In the 1920s Dr. Walter Cannon, a physiology professor at Harvard University coined the phrase homeostasis from the Greek word homoios meaning similar and stasis meaning position. His studies revealed a relationship between emotions and perceptions and the physical fight, flight, fright response. A new paradigm was emerging: the brain is hooked up to the body and the body is hooked up to the brain! About the same time, Hans Selye noted that animals under stress had weakened immune responses. These ideas led to the modern science we call psycho-neuro immunology, which studies the interrelationship of mind, and body wellness. BIOLOGY IS BIG BUSINESS Pharmaceutical manufacturers, with their well-controlled medical industry, have been happy to keep the old body-machine attitude. If you hurt, take this pill then come back next month so we can sell you the perfect drug or implant the perfectly engineered mechanical part or gene and make you as good as new is their message. Genes separated from a living organism can be legally patented by the US Patent Office. Of the thirty-to-forty thousand genes isolated by the multi-billion-dollar congress funded genome projects, twenty thousand genes (and related molecules) are now patented. The idea is that if you own the gene and drugs that influence that gene, you can introduce it into the body to generate the right instructions to the protein receptors. PULL DOWN YOUR GENES THEORY When a gene product is needed, a signal from its environment, not an emergent property of the gene itself, activates expression of that gene. - H.F. Nijhout, BioEssayist Your brain is the control center for your body, right? So what happens if we remove your brain from your body? Youd die of course. Genetic theory implies that DNA and genes in the cell nucleus, are the control central of your emotion/thought. So what happens if we remove the nucleus (de-nucleate) the DNA and genes from a cell? No, it doesnt dieit lives. How can that be? Genes are not the master controller of your cell! If you remove receptors from your cell, the cell dies. Are receptors the control center of your mind/body; not genes? And where do the receptors get their information? They get their information from the environment (your interior environment and the environment of the everything else in the universe.) And armed with these environmental signals, the receptors regulatory proteins control the expression of the genes. All genes are controlled by signals from the environment via receptors. Receptors alter genes, not the other way around. It is the proteins receptors that turn genes on and off. Cancer may correlate to a specific gene but a specific gene does not cause it. So much for the genetic determination theory. Proteomics Proteins are the orchestra that plays your song of life. A cell is only alive because protein pathways regulate and integrate its function. Proteins structure and move all the cells in your body and coordinate their behavior; respiration, digestion, excretion and movement. They

THE BIOLOGY OF WHAT YOU FEEL control the firing of neurotransmitters that allow you to think, your muscles to move, they switch your genes on and off and bind your DNA. Marc Wilkins of Australia coined the word proteome at a scientific conference in Italy in 1994 to describe all proteins expressed by genome, cell or tissue. Proteins are composed of some 20 different amino acids (as apposed to just 4 building blocks of the DNA of your genes). And we are clueless as to their astronomical numbers. At this time, there is no simple way to identify, or characterize them. The proteome project is now attempting this feat. June of 2000 to October of 2001 more than $700 million poured into proteomics companies from venture capitalists and IPOs. The primary structure of protein looks like a pop-it bead necklace. Each bead contains twenty different amino acids in specific sequences. These beads, along with electromagnetic charges, determine its shape. The charged molecules resemble magnets! Mesmer was right! We do have a natural animal magnetism. Dr Mark George, Neurologist at London Hospital confirms that magnets applied at first about two inches above the left ear (making the thumb jerk) and, then moved forward three inches of so along the skull to the frontal cortex, helps depressed folks sleep better, cry less and eat more. Thousands of times a second, charged proteins bind to molecules and other proteins and alter their electrical charge distribution as their bead-like backbones adapt with specific movement. When the bond is severed, a protein usually re-expresses itself back to its original shape and configuration. Glycomics In October of 2001, the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH) awarded a fiveyear, $34-million glue grant to a 54member Consortium for Functional Glycomics to identify carbohydrates (simple and complex sugars) that are known to combine with proteins and fats on cell surfaces and influence cell-to-cell communication. Next to bring in the big bucks bid will most likely be a study to categorize fats (lipids). EMOTIONAL MOLECULES In the 1970s, neuro-biology student, Candace Pert was laid up in a hospital bed enjoying regular shots of Talwin (a morphine derivative). She so liked the opiates wonderful feeling of being deeply nourished and satisfied she considered taking the drug with her when she was discharged from the hospital. Though she resisted that urge, her intense, physical and emotional experience fascinated her. She wasnt alone in her intrigue. Hippies and scientists wanted to know why heroin, marijuana, Librium and PCP (angel dust) elicited such radical emotional changes. Candace wanted to identify the biochemical ligand behind her feel good reaction to drugs. A ligand she surmised, only binds with a receptor that is perfect for it. This is called receptor specificity. A Valium receptor ligand would then only attach to a Valium or Valium-like peptide. An opiate receptor ligand, would then only

attach to the perfect opiate group, like endorphins, morphine or heroine. The thesis; opium excites a specific ligand that binds to a receptor and changes the neuron. She knew that when opium enters the body, it generates a ligand that binds to a receptor for only a brief time before it exits as urine. How could Candace identify such a small unit that comes and goes so quickly? British scientist, W.D.M. Pattons pingpong theory gave her the solution. His approach explained how two similar drugs bind with the same receptor: one drug, the agonist, enters the receptor and creates cell changes, while the other drug, the antagonist, blocks the receptor by occupying it. The magnitude of a drug reaction is proportional to how many times a drug hits (or pings) the receptor, and therefore remains on the receptor. This idea gave her more time to observe the process. She knew that a few injected milligrams of the drug Naloxone reversed heroin overdose effects, so she used Naloxone, (labeled with a radioactive isotope) to act as the antagonist to bump up the heroin from the receptor. And on October 25, 1972, the brilliant Candace Pert measured a cells opiate receptor ligand, in a test tube! This put opium receptors into the realm of science for the first time. Perts book, Molecules of Emotions tells of personal challenges in trapping the morphine molecule on its receptor. It is now known that you dont have to take a drug to get high. Your brain naturally manufactures its own endogenous, (from within) morphine. How and why we do this goes back to how we receive and interpret energetic input from the inside and from the vast universe. Dr SHELLEYS CONCLUSIONS Heres what we know about the biochemistry of what you think say and do: 1. Everything you create begins as a conscious or subconscious thought manifested in your neurology. 2. There is a direct relationship between emotional states and the physical body. A physical change creates an emotional change and an emotional change creates a physical change. 3. Neurons and their receptors create billions of messages per second that allow you to collect, integrate, send and store data and enhance or inhibit thoughts, feelings, behavior and bodily function. 4. Environment and your reaction to it, creates your biological actions and reactions. 5. Survival requires effective and accurate receiving and interpreting environmental signals. 6. Homeostasis and wellness reflect your bio-energy attunement to resonate rapidly and efficiently on the molecular and environmental level. 7. How your receptors take and give information determines what remains unconscious, and what is moved to conscious priority.

INTELLIGENCE, LEARNING & TESTING BY TIM BRUNSON, DCH The underlying theory of intelligence testing and personality profiling presumes there are differences in each persons capability to use perception, memory, and learning. I cringe to think how intelligence and personality testing is currently used with certainty to make critical decisions about peoples lives. Making a decision based on neurology, DNA, Myers-Briggs personality tests, ink-blots or other such criteria begs the question of accuracy and relevance. Intelligence testing measures only a temporary and limited snap shot. At best, an intelligence test only gives a limited indication of your learning ability that may be only slightly relevant. Freud, Jung, Dennett, Ramachandran, Piaget, Gardner and others write of the psychology of intelligence and consciousness. J. Krishnamurti, Ken Wilber, and the Buddha cover the same topics and share many concepts about consciousness, learning from your environment, and the idea that a person can change their intelligence. Neurologists like to pin intelligence and consciousness like a bug to a fixed in geographical brain region. Some go so far as to say, your brain is wired for God (Newberg, et. al., 2001). My favorite is Richard Restak, M.D., and Daniel Amen, M.D. of the Amen Clinics, who say intelligence relates to specific interrelated neural substrates and that lifestyle, environment, novel stimulation, and even medications affect your mental functioning hence, intelligence. In Restaks book The Naked Brain he warns of using IQ testing in making preemptive decisions about employment and mates. Better he suggests that first you need to understand the structure and function of the brain. In fact, stimulation of serotonin-producing neurons of the brain-stem by conscious slow breathing actually improve your cognitive functions. In my studies of Tibetan Buddhist monks I noticed dramatic memory and clarity of mind improvement in meditators. Ive seen other studies that relate relaxed breathing to increased reading speeds and comprehension. Could conscious regulation of breath before an intelligence test influence results? What is the actual impact of breathing and test-taking results? CHANGE HAPPENS Many books underscore that we are not stuck with what we inherit. People can and do change dramatically. Measurable intelligence must be considered along with a persons sense of identity, their values, their beliefs, and even their realization of a spiritual dimension and mission. People have various propensities and intelligence capabilities AT A GIVEN MOMENT. I love Howard Gardners theory of multiple intelligences. It makes me realize that no matter how good someone is at a given skill, everyone is very good at something. Even people that recall haunting memories of abuse can be applauded for their high level of talent when it comes to beating themselves up emotionally. Indeed, even failure shows a high level of expertise. I learned that I had mastered the strategy of losing money as a day trader, it took just a slight change that allowed me to turn this expertise into a money making proposition. So, I agree everyone is to be honored for their specific expertise or genius. Is your given genius permanent and unchanging? In NLP we teach five basic communication modalities: Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, and Gustatory. The idea is that a person has a preferred learning and communication modality. On the other hand, NLP promotes the Law of Requisite Variety, which states that: The element of a system that has the most flexibility will become the catalyst of that system. NLP promotes you to become comfortable outside your proverbial box for example, a visual learner is encouraged to call upon movement, and sound. Respecting anothers specific genius not shared by ourselves, doesnt mean that we cannot improve our ability in their area. We need to develop all of our senses and gifts and be flexible enough to expand our experience. If you detect a lack in one area, explore it. Be a life-long learner and live by this philosophy. This idea led me to take an undergraduate course, dance lessons, learn Sudoku, study musical instruments, and learn German, Spanish, and Tibetan. I even challenged my fear of heights by becoming licensed as a helicopter pilot. The typologies represented by intelligence testing and the like are pseudo-science and relevant only in that they give indications for further exploration. Making firm academic and sociological decisions based on these tests constitutes an un-justice. Even with their aura of certainty they fail to mention that we are creatures on a constant journey of transformation always becoming.

He is also the founder and executive director of The International Hypnosis Research Institute (http://www.hypnosisresearchinstitute.org).

RETIREMENT LEARNING COACHING By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD By 2030 there will be as many persons over age 65 as persons under 18. California by 2010 will have more than 7 million senior citizens by 2020. Peer or lifelong learning is big money and is of great service. Programs, overseen by coaches, are run by volunteer members who serve on a Board of Directors and committees. UCLA has the Plato Society (Perpetual Learning and Teaching Organization) with over 400 attendees who pay $485 for three semesters a year plus additional fees for events, retreats, parties and day trips. Redondo Beach, California has Omnilore. A coach becomes the president, founder or manager for self-improvement seminars or whatever on the Internet or on location. Groups are promoted by the question, Do you have a mind thats not ready to retire? Many programs are affiliated with colleges. Members conceive, plan, and direct themed courses, discussion groups the subjects of which are chosen by ballot. The group has no teachers. California State University at Dominguez Hills extended education program is under the banner of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Their meetings are held bi-monthly in a classrooms and private homes. Similar groups elsewhere charge around $600 a year. LIFE LONG LEARNING Learn Later; Live Greater Elderhostel: Began in 1989 a national group known for its traveling educational seminars. Today, there are 272 such groups. SAGE for Study, Activity, Growth, Enrichment: Meets in a Granada Hills California and charges $225 a year plus. Presenter brings refreshments. SLR, Society for Learning in Retirement: Voluntary non-profit, tax-exempt, organization popular in Britain and Canada. Established to meet the educational interests and needs of retired persons 50+ who share a love of the camaraderie of learning regardless of their formal education. Osher Lifelong Learning Institute: Began in 2001, as the University of Southern Maine Senior College. Shortly after, Sonoma State University became a grantee too. Grants of $100,000 were made on the understanding that, once a lifelong learning institute was launched, the Foundation would consider grant renewal for two or more years of no less than $1 million is success and sustainability is demonstrated. Non-credit educational programs specifically developed for those 50 and older often have a university connection and support. The designation of as The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of X is a condition of the Foundations grant-making along with the words Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Grantees have included performing arts groups, literary programs, educational and environmental groups, and social service organizations. Registrants pay an annual $35 membership fee to in addition to study group fees. The organization receives around 70 a year from each participant and additional fees go to the Trustees of ______ (college, elderhostel, or your name ie Smiths Institute for Learning in Retirement.)

SEX By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD Great sex is not a metaphor for a great relationship and vice versa. There are many languages. Sex speaks its own. So does love. Each language thrives in parallel narratives. Of course, when you communicate in loving ways you feel closer, laugh more, look at each other more, and are more likely to be intimate. And conversely great sex lets you feel closer and laugh more too. Yet, with desire, your adrenals pump out- not fight, flight, fright- but EXCITE. Sex is a selfish language; born of excitement, adventure and imbalance. Think of a time when you were powerfully drawn to your partner or anyone. Go ahead live it up and think about it. Your answer holds within it the thrilling surprise of unexpected delight, and an element of distant objective awareness. Separateness is accentuated before we merge. You look at a distance and sex becomes a bridge that takes you, on your own, to the erotic land of trance. Novelty makes things interesting. So rather than trying to mechanically improve sex, improve your language of eroticism and play inside yourself. Be kind and reciprocal of course and then talk to yourself about the expectation, enthusiasm and adventure that brings YOU excitement. Then BLISS YOU.

EVIL EYE How do you know someone is looking at you even when your eyes dont see them? Your senses pick up transmitted energy. Plato, Euclid, and Ptolemy, called this the extramission of visual perception. In fact, electromagnetic energy entering your skull can be detected at short range by the optic nerve terminal of your retina. Amulets, rituals, sayings, and counter-spells for this phenomenon are abundant in many cultures to ward off a curse or envy and a glance powerful enough to injure or even kill.

SMOKING CESSATION Hypnosis makes breathing with ease a foregone conclusion. With no debate or hesitation non-smoking is a done deal. Suggestions like, I breathe with ease my lungs are clear motivate success and increased stamina, energy, productivity and extra money in your pocket. Smokers have to smoke outside in all weather and endure judgmental stares. A morning cough, chest pain, chronic low energy, increased anxiety and tough and wrinkled skin takes its toll. Half of all long-term smokers die from tobacco related causes. Fatal respiratory diseases like emphysema make each breath an effort. Imagine dragging an oxygen tank around as you slowly suffocate to death. Cancer is not pleasant either. You may have to have your tongue cut away. Often, treatments for cancer is worse than the disease itself. Chemotherapy used to kill cancer, can kill you. Strokes can really mess up your thinking and functioning. Todays cigarettes are more dangerous than ever. Ammonia- the acrid, ultra-strong household cleanser that cuts grease and grime- is now added to amplify the nicotine so it is more addictive. Ammonia increases the speed at which nicotine gets to the brain. Todays cigarettes give you a nicotine jolt some seven seconds after you inhale. Within 10 years, former smokers erase most, if not all, damage smoking caused. Their risk of death from cigarettes evoked disease is said to be equal to those who never smoked.

WRITE A PRESS RELEASE The IHF Pre-Conference Market U Boot Camp is your chance to master the media and make real money. The all-day Thursday features five amazing presenters: Wil Dieck, Craig Sigl, Michael Holt, Laura Rubinstein and Ken Owens who generously share the ways you can make REAL MONEY NOW. To register call (310) 541-4844. In that spirit here is an excellent FREE tool to maximize media coverage that promote your business (Check out Associated Press Stylebook for more ideas): 1. Be Compelling Write to appeal to the journalist who asks, Why would this interest our readers, viewers, or listeners? A journalists job is to relay newsworthy information to their audience and not to sell. So do your homework. Be familiar with the publications format, and what they print or report. 2. Headline Hooks Your headline needs an interesting new focus that proclaims newsworthiness. 3. Keep It Simple Make your message clear and concise to stimulate the editors interest. You are presenting the Cliff Notes summer of your plans. Most press releases are 400-500 words maximum. Find the shortest simplest way to make your points in order to avoid wordiness. You can always provide indepth details later. 4. Have The Facts The W questions- what, when, where, who and why in your first two sentences ensure a complete press release. 5. Contact Information Big and bold phone and e-mail at the top of the page assure that the editor can contact you. 6. Be Readable All upper case letters SCREAM. Use regular sentence style letters and make it at 12 points so it is easy to read. 7. Be Credible The publishers spam filters catch any hype flags that challenge the credibility of your release. Avoid exclamation points or wild claims. 8. Grammatically Correct Proof read, edit and then reproof your press releases again and again. Too many spelling and grammatical errors, says you are a duffus. 9. Dates for Releases If your new release is not about an upcoming event, DO NOT PUT A DATE ON IT. REMEMBER By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD I will remember what I forgot. My days of birth and wonder what. The time of days; by and coming Things vibrant; things numbing. My sister placenta My mother, my dad, The things I wanted The things Ive had. Lifes your dream Well spent though sleeping with each memory worth the keeping.

EVOKE POSITIVE CHANGE By Ken Guzzo, CHt Ken will present a talk called Success Beyond Beliefs at this years Its All About YOU conference. Youve had several sessions with a client. Why arent they letting go of that issue? Why arent they behaving in that healthy new way you both agreed upon? The answer is found much deeper than the mind. First, every human being has five basic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun that must be met. Maslow said that these needs were a hierarchy with survival as the most basic. He was wrong. He cannot explain why a soldier will throw himself on a grenade to save his platoon, or why a teenager will commit suicide because his girlfriend left him, or why a Jew in a concentration camp would give away his last scrap of food to help a younger person survive. Did these people give up survival to meet a lesser need? No. What is more true is that all of your emotional needs need to be met. If one is missing, your nervous system will find a way to get that need met at all cost. So, which is the most important need? Probably the one that is not being met. In a healthy system, emotional needs orbit around your Authentic Self and needs are met easily. However, fear or anxiety is hidden and trapped deep within your nervous system, your Survival need is pulled to the center, obscuring Authentic Self, and all the other needs are seen through the filter of Survival and Fear. An unbalanced system attempts to pull the basic needs into your experience in unhealthy and even self-sabotaging ways. We can be triggered by others, and depressed, tired, defensive, craving, and confused when life isnt the way we want it. Some of my clients systems were so cross-wired they could not experience Love and Power simultaneously. When they were in a loving state, theyd feel vulnerable and powerless, and when they were feeling powerful theyd push loved ones away. When working with clients, identify which of the five basic emotional needs is not being met. Discover what secondary gain the system is experiencing by the sabotaging behavior, and trace it back to the earliest occurrence. This is where the coping began, and where you will gain access to clear this issue. Always remember that all behavior is purposeful, even if it seems illogical from the outside. Remember too that your client is more than their mind and behaviors. All of us are a powerful integration of mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Addressing only the mind severely limits your ability to aid your

clients to transform themselves. Notice I said transform themselves! Ego bruised? Oops sorry! Understanding these dynamics are key to bringing true value to your clients and maintaining a successful practice. Always honor the genius of your client. Because of the value they receive, my clients happily pay me $5,000 to facilitate a four-session, 1-on-1 integrated process that quickly eliminates from their nervous system underlying issues that distract and keep them from having their best day every day. Like clearing the viruses from a computer, suddenly the issues and triggers holding them back are no longer there to be coped with- only their Authentic Self remains, and performance rapidly increases. Clients accelerate their own evolution through a process that integrates science, psychology, and spirituality.

BIG EYE By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD My TV watches me. Its liquid crystal face Down the tubes Dressed now in gas or silicone Radiating energetic. Turn me on it calls. When I tune in, it blares in living color. It shutters electronically as I sleep. It watches what I watch. My TV watches me. I am programmed in my reality show Remotely controlled by Friends, Monk CSI As the huge eye watches mewatching.

VOICE DIALOG: THE BOARD MEETING By DUNCAN TOOLEY, CHt, IHF Instructor [Editors Note: Duncan will teach you to TURN DOWN a food CRAVINGS at our 2012 IHF Retreat. He will also offer his complete turn-key TOOLEYS MENTAL GASTRIC BAND SPECIALTY CERTIFICATION COURSE as a Post-conference 5-day class, March 5-9 at the discounted rate of only $997! The class is terrific. It lets you experience the benefits of lap band surgery by using your mind to squeeze your stomach.] When my Tooley Mental Gastric Band weight reduction client, Ray, read my case study in the IHF Hyp News, he was intrigued. So, when he told me, I need to make better microchoices to continue releasing over a pound a week, I called upon Dr Shelley Stockwells sub-personality boardroom process again. Heres how the session went: I need to make better micro-choices to continue releasing over a pound a week Tell me more When I go to a social function and am offered a brownie or cookie, I accept just a little morsel to be polite. But when I record what I ate in my journal it is clear that my microchoices double my daily intake. It is as if I have an angel on one shoulder whispering in one ear and a devil whispering in the other. Also, I want to go to bed earlier so I can wake up earlier and leave work earlier so I have time to walk on the beach. I even brought my tennis shoes to work but, instead, I find things to do to stay up late, and give myself excuses to not walk. Using the Mental Gastric Band induction that he already knew well; Ray formulated and radiated his specific intention to every cell in his body. He invited the energy of Spirit that spins the galaxies and blooms the flowers to assist him and with deep, slow breathing he went into trance. Find a spot where there is a boardroom table with chairs all around it and seat yourself at the head of the table. I instructed. Good. Now call a meeting of all the parts of yourself. When they are all seated, raise a finger on his right hand. After about a minute, Ray raised his finger. I thanked all the board members for being present and asked May I speak to your board members individually? He agreed. May I speak to that part of Ray that inspires him to want to walk on the beachfront? Yes What shall I call this part? Walk-Motivator. Walk-Motivator, what is your job as a part? WALK-MOTIVATOR: To cause him to want to move his legs, to walk. Do you like your job? WALK-MOTIVATOR: Yes, but sometimes Ray doesnt cooperate. Its fun when he does! But sometimes procrastination gets in the way. Thank you. Ray, may I speak to that part of you that is responsible for procrastination? Yes. What shall I call this part? Procrastinator. Procrastinator, what is your role as a part of Ray? PROCRASTINATOR: I keep him up at night, to keep him awake so he enjoys the evening and to prevent nightmares. Is that all you do for Ray? PROCRASTINATOR: I keep him confused, putting things off, and having a worse day. Do you like your job?

PROCRASTINATOR: No. What would you rather do? PROCRASTINATOR: Take a vacation. Where would you like to go? PROCRASTINATOR: Anywhere! Im speaking to all the other board members; are you in favor of sending Procrastinator on a vacation? ALL: Yes Procrastination, you are authorized to take a very long vacation, anywhere you want. Stay a long time! Go ahead, leave now! Goodbye! Ray who is the next board member to be interviewed? Lame Excuses. Lame Excuses, what is your job as part of Ray? LAME EXCUSES: To find reasons for Ray not to do what he should with lame, bogus reasons. Do you like your job? LAME EXCUSES: No, it doesnt help Ray. What would you rather be doing? LAME EXCUSES: I dont know. Would you like to retire? LAME EXCUSES: Yes Ray and the other board members, is it acceptable that Lame Excuses retire? ALL: yes! Here is your gold watch. Consider yourself retired. Go ahead and leave now. May I speak to that part of Ray that is responsible for feelings about something being socially impolite. Yes, Mr. Etiquette.

Ray and board members, is it acceptable that Mr. Etiquette have a reduction in his responsibilities? ALL: Yes Good. Thank you. Please be seated. May I speak to that part of Ray that is responsible for micro-decisions? Yes, Micro-Decision-Maker Micro-Decision-Maker, what is your function or job role, as part of Ray? MICRO-DECISION-MAKER: I make little, moment-to-moment decisions that free up Rays brain for other things, like which foot to move when he is walking. Do you like your job?

VOICE DIALOG: THE BOARD MEETING Mr. Nightmare, what is your job? NIGHTMARE: To bring all the fear to Ray and to remind him of his past failures. Where did you come from? MR. NIGHTMARE: I come from FEAR! Do you enjoy your job? MR. NIGHTMARE: The evil part of me enjoys taking Rays reality and then warping it as much as possible. I also wake him up at 4 am. Can we fire Mr. Nightmare? Mr. Nightmare provides a kind of reality check on my intuitive powers that I feel like I need to keep. Can we fire Mr. Nightmare and create a new position, Mr. IntuitionReality-Check, to work with DREAMS? ALL: Yes! Consider it done. Are there any other parts of Ray that we have not heard from? No! Ray, is there anything you want to say to the board members? RAY: Thank you all for assembling and cooperating. You are dismissed. Client Reaction and Outcome: Ray told me later that when I instructed him to assemble the board he thought to himself, This isnt going to work! Then he was amazed at the emergence of the personalities and especially Mr Nightmare.

BELIEF IS EVERYTHING By HUSHI BOROUMAND (Dr Hushi works with the Homeless in Los Angeles and helps them overcome addiction and negativity. He will be speaking at the IHF Retreat this year.) Driving home I was extremely tired. I had worked nine hours helping patients in a clinic in Los Angeles. It was about 8pm. I saw a man about 60 years old, standing on a bridge who looked ready to jump off. Under that bridge was a highway with very heavy traffic. The cars were passing at 65 to 75 mph. I stopped my car and grabbed the man from the back. I really dont need your help he said. Let me do it. I am old, ugly, lonely, miserable and sick. I made up my mind to go, because life is very hard and I cannot handle it anymore. It was a disaster. If he jumped, it was 100% sure death. I told him sit down and he did. After teaching him some breathing exercises, he felt better. I told him Life is beautiful, go to the beach and pay attention to the ocean, the birds and happy people. You are very smart. Believe it. It is negative thinking that has caused your beliefs. He said, You are right; I didnt believe I could make it but now I have another chance. When you dont believe in yourself, you runs into problems. A homeless man with no shelter, food, or financial security does not know what he wants and how he is going to survive. He believes things are hopeless. His experiences support his limiting ideas and they become stronger. All his references and experiences are registered in his computer mind and affect his personal perspective. Positive & Negative Beliefs Those with money problems give many reasons; the recession, the economy and bad luck. They blame others. Thats why they give up easily. They choose a negative belief. They think nothing works for them and choose to be miserable. They think, talk, and embody negative emotions. These people are not aware of their incredible inner power. Positively believe you can be successful. Choose a project, make a business plan, and create a strong belief in you as a success. I think of your belief system like a machine. When the machine malfunctions or stops functioning, nothing will work. I did hypnotherapy with the man on the bridge and it worked he changed his mind. He considered a new belief. You must believe you will succeed 100% to be successful. A depressed person, who is hopeless does not have belief in themselves. To achieve, believe you will achieve. Believe you will fail; and you definitely will. Belief is necessary for a healthy body. Some have limited beliefs and fears that limit. They block their belief in themself and often focus in past upsets. They cannot let it go. Instead of learning a lesson from the past, they worry about it and blame themselves and others. As a result they get nowhere and become depressed. Belief becomes truth when it allows you to put your strength into positive action. Go to a bar and you will find people drinking alcohol and sharing negative beliefs about almost everything. They get nowhere gabbing all day; they just waste their time and their body. Eventually, the drinking causes disease and death. They think, it was meant to be like this. They didnt believe in free will and the ability to choose their own destiny. A perfect example is Ronny, a 42 years old dispatcher in an alarm company, was working part time on the graveyard shift and didnt like his job. Most of the time he was late to work or did not go because he was drunk. It was 2009 and because of the slow economy, his company lost customers. Ronny lost his job and was very upset about it. He used his 9 months of unemployment benefits to buy alcohol and cigarettes and pay his rent. Nine months passed quickly. He was evicted. When Ronny lost his job his girlfriend Martha let him stay in her place. Martha worked in a medical clinic and loved her job. There were lots of problems. She kicked him out. Ronny became homeless and wound up on General Relief, got some food stamps and $200 cash. He used this money for alcohol and cigarettes. He lost everything because of his negative attitude, belief, and thoughts. He ended up on Skid-Row along with thousands of poor, miserable homeless people who believe they cannot make it in the world. With clear positive thinking and emotional intensity your nervous system starts to accept new thoughts and new possibilities become real. When Ronnie became convinced, and believed in a new beginning and his potentials and met it with proaction his mind opened the path for him. Every great achiever has positive thoughts, strong beliefs and a burning desire to achieve their goals. Bill Gates believed he discover Microsoft. He studied and worked very hard and one day he made it. I teach people to have a strong belief or faith, and to plan and project and never give up. The must learn to deal with daily life and solve problems in the now. Everything changes. When a person loses their belief in themselves they become a failure. During your life you have acquired beliefs about everything. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, AND CHANGE LIMITING BELIEFS TO ASSERTIVE 100% POSITIVE BELIEFS IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED. Half-hearted beliefs wont work. Believe 100% I will make it and definitely you will. Believe that dreams come true and you best use your strength. Put your talent into action. If you do not succeed immediately be happy and take lessons for an even better outcome from mistakes. page 33

TRIPLE DUTY DIVINATION: TAROT, RUNES AND OGHAM LETTERS By WALTER STOCK [Editors Note: Since ancient times, runes and runic symbols have been used for divination. The word rune means mystery, secret or whisper. As a pre-conference treat, Thursday March 1st from 9am to noon, IHF Researcher, Walter will teach Triple Duty Divination: how to give readings using Tarot with Runes and Ogham letters. The course is only $95 and well worth the price of admission. Here is what the good professor has to say about his workJ] Runes and Ogham letters go back, probably no earlier than the first centuries of the Common Era. The Norse believed that the Runes were seized by Odin when he impaled himself for nine days and nights on the World Tree. The Early Irish believed the Ogham letters were the work of Ogma Mac Elatha, the God of Wisdom. They had a traditional etymology: g-aim perfect sewing. Yet, the actual origin remains a mystery. Runes and their characteristic letters were intended to be carved on wood with no curved or horizontal lines. Each letter has a name, which generally begins with its sound. Some are connected to Norse Mythology, and traditional names of Norse Gods, while others are common words like man or horse. A more recent system evolved wherein all the Runes are named for Divinities. A casual examination reveals that some of the letters, such as Berkana and Raido look awfully like the Latin alphabet and others do not. Most modern scholars feel that the Runes derived from an earlier transitional alphabet that was between the Greek and the Roman; sometimes referred to as North Italic. The Runes originally had 24 letters and Ogham 20 letters that were first attested as fully developed systems with traditional alphabetic orders. Runes were carved on wood with Ogham letters carved along edges. They are first attested as notches on stone or as Ogham sticks. As now used, all are names of plants, but from early on, the names of birds and colors were also used. TAROT The origin of the Tarot is not clear, but most scholars believe it was first developed in the Late Middle Ages or Early Renaissance, quite likely in Italy. For readings, I have a selection of decks, which are not wildly exotic, or overly familiar. For a good reading I consider the important concept of a Transderivational search. Your unconscious mind, when presented with new and unusual stimuli, searches for meaning and tends to latch onto and hold what it finds first to the exclusion of more spontaneous impressions. For this reason, I avoid decks that have interpretations printed at the bottom. I choose decks that have pictures on all the cards including the pips (cards 110 of the suites) and tend to go for ones that have striking figures but are not too busy. In class I go over the runes and ogham alphabets with notes on how you can easily remember them for their symbols and meaning. You will learn how to use this information to enrich and enhance a Tarot reading. Why pay for a good reading, when you can learn to give a good reading yourself?

TESTIMONIALS
Hi Shelley, Thank you for all of your kindness. We enjoyed lovely experience with you and our classmates. Were very lucky to be with you. We also enjoyed dinner last night with you all. Thank you so much!!! Best regards, Teru and Mimi [from Japan] Shelley, You are such an amazing person. Thank you for such a wonderful conference. I really appreciate all you do. The way you help people Thaks again for everything and blessings to you and Jon. Judy Cameron Hi Shelley, I had a great time at the Conference. Had a good turnout at my workshop which felt good. Was great to see so many familiar faces again Loving dolphin smiles, Belinda Farrell Dear Shelley, Your conference was wonderful! So many people, such enthusiasm, considerable verve, much camaraderie and much humor stemming from you. I marvel at the necessary time to prepare your program Good job Thank you also for your trophy [Wistar won the life time achievement award] probably the most important work I did was bring agoraphobics back from imminent suicides to happy people Sincerely, Wistar Wood It was terrific to meet with you and Jon. Your conference seemed to go very wellYou seem tireless and very busy far from the rather relaxed life style I enjoy in Bali. We are back in the Office in Jakarta today. Perhaps we will meet again when you next visit Bali later in the year or is it next year? We are planning to meet Professor Dr Suriyani The Hypnotist from Bali on Saturday, She does a wonderful Job rescuing the Mentally disturbed in the back Villages of Bali, tours through the Villages looking for and treating many who have been kept lock away by their families who can not afford treatment Let us hope we can help the Blind to see with hypnosis. It is amazing what they can sense with out vision. The Balinese religion accepts deformities as punishment for the sins of the forefathers or departed relatives we can prove them wrong and show that there can be forgiveness of past sins It was great to meet you. Love, Wilfrid and Sara Hi Shelley, Just wanted to tell you that sure appreciate all the work you (and Jon, Im sure) did to put the conference together. It was a smash and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for including me... Craig Dear Jon and Shelley, Thank you very much for your love, compassion, and kindness. The 5-day course was marvelous. The book, Smile on Your Face, Money in Your Pocket, is a treasure house of basic hypnosis resources. Im looking forward to reading the Denial is not a River in Egypt, and McGills Hypnotherapy Encyclopedia. I believe that clients have their own doctors/therapists in their mind, and hypnosis is just a tool, medium, or phenomena where we can practice various kinds of therapeutic modalities. Im happy to know that you have the same thoughts. The hypnosis/hypnotherapy in Japan is 50 years behind the US. As I have trained over 70 professional hypnotists/hypnotherapists so far, I need to provide them opportunities to further study hypnosis/hypnotherapy to improve their skills. I will adapt the IHF certification courses for Japanese students and start teaching IHF courses I love to contribute to the well-being of the earth/people one by one as you do. Best regards, Keiichi Murai Thank you for a wonderful conference this year! It was just over the top. Blessings and Thank you! Jean Krueger, PhD My Dear Shelley, Not only were you my mentor but you taught me so much about life. I dont know if you fully realize how much you have touched my life, Love, Ildy Rosen

LIFE AS I SEE IT by AL WARD (Lifetime Achievement Award, A.L., will speak at your 2012 IHF Retreat in March) In the beginning there was the word and the word was GOD. God can be imagined as a simple, yet complex form of a person or a system of unlimited knowledge and spiritual energy in another system that we call The Universe. In an example of Who came first the chicken or the egg. From these systems God created other life forms. Science called this action The Big Bang Theory and no one is sure if this is the correct interpretation of the instant of creation. I was told by spirit that the greatest force in the universe is the instant of conception. The instant God energy (Soul) is joined with your physical system. All creation has a life span that depends on its use or misuse. All systems are placed in a uniform order to support other systems. All life forms record and retain a record of its entire existence. There are professions that can read these records. God reads your record to judge where to place us in the realm of spirit. (My house has many mansions, John 14:2 and Revelation 20:12 and 21:27 confirm this statement.) A skilled hypnotist can help you to read your own record so you can make positive changes. When God created men and women they were told to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, and to have dominion over the fish of the seas, fowls of the air and every living thing on earth. When God created humans they were given something other life forms lacked a mind (Spirit) capable see page 34

TWO KEYS TO SPIRIT

By ALBERT MAROTTA, CHT Only a few hypnosis schools allude to something beyond the three dimensional materialistic world in which we exist. So what happens when a client suddenly experiences a spontaneous past life experience, pre or parental recall or something other than what was covered in the class materials. Who do you call for guidance? Such a spontaneous regression to an early childhood trauma, occurred when I was working with my third client! It wasnt until four months later that I found a mentor with insight and understanding. Spontaneous abb-reactions have happened on several occasions during my 30-year career as a Hypnotherapist. KEY #1 The first key into spiritual insights is the study of those many near death experiences (NDE) lessons. One of the most important insights into your multiple dimensional reality is gained from them. Studying the lessons shared by those who have experienced their own physical death and returned from other dimensions is a real eye-opener. Millions of children and adults alike, share similar and personalized stories of those experiences. The ancient Egypt preparation for future pharos included experiencing death by being sealed in a sarcophagus. They were then removed from the sarcophagus and revived to be able to rule with knowledge and godly wisdom from the other side. NDEs are referred to in the bible- old and new testaments, folklore, literature, and paintings. Modern published research of Kubler Ross, Raymond Moody, P.M.H. Atwater, Damion Brinkley, Shelley StockwellNicholas, and professional organizations cannot logically be ignored. These include: Separation of body and spirit at physical death, awareness that ones personality stays intact beyond death, the ability to travel the universe at the speed of thought, the realization that evil does exist and has powerful effects on the living, life and particularly influences in relationships. Communication from beyond the grave is a reality as is voices and visions, all of which are apart of the vibration and frequency mystery Tesla spoke of. These are just a few of the insights that opens up when studying NDEs. This all important first key opens the door to spiritual dimensions. KEY #2 The second key is a study of past life therapy (PLT) and interrelated spiritual experiences or other dimensions of similar vibration/frequency that extends beyond traditional 3-D mentality and thought, that requires in-depth study suggested by NDEs. The study of past life is important because there are millions of experiencers and believers backed up by over 35 years of modern day research and study. Researchers, authors and therapists worthy of consideration would include: Ralph Allison, William Baldwin, David Chanberlain, Edith Fiore, Michael Gabriel, Irene Hickman, Winafred Lucas, Kenneth McAll, Schakuntala Modi, Ian Stevenson, Peter Francuch, A.L. Ward. This is just a start. Clients from all walks of life, believers as well as non-believers, often experience past lives, whether intentionally directed or a spontaneous experience. What holds the greatest impact for the client is curiosity of an experience, rather that research. Even at that, it may take two or three experiences before logic gives away to a new paradigm of possible realities. History has a cornucopia of dominate figures and references that have written and discussed concepts of reincarnation, past lives, and other dimensional realities. The 1970s brought fourth a plethora of research materials founded in the quantum sciences, including past lives, pre and parental recall, earth bound entities, extra terrestrial influences, a layering of multi dimensional realities, dark or demonic realms, generational curses, and other areas that challenge the logic we were taught in school. Some historical research will show PLEs and other realms have an equally rich recorded tradition worthy of ones investment of time. Sophocles (400 BC), a Greek playwright stated, Belief is stronger than truth. As a therapist, our belief should be with the clients experience, not in our own biases and prejudices. The only true test is a solitary question, Is the client better off because of their experience? If the therapy is a valid one, it will not take months or years to experience life shifts. Those shifts will include physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and/or psychic realms. Attend this insightful lecture, ask questions, and challenge your own belief system. This is an excellent opportunity to draw from a wealth of experience, study and collaboration. For what its worth, All the eloquence and evidence in the world wont make any difference to the individual who chooses to believe otherwise. Joel Whittion. page 35

LIFE AS I SEE IT from pg 34 of creating. They were also given rules to live by and to be able to choose between the positive and negative forces that are balanced equally against the other. These forces form our two basic emotions; Love and Fear. The rules God gave were meant to keep us balanced with positive forces. God created women to follow these rules, responsibility and leadership in the family and business especially when men failed to take control of their ego and duties. My friend Fred Leidecker describes the ego as Ease God Out. In the beginning there was no religion. We all come from the same source with the same set of rules. Later our two basic emotions- love and fear- were labeled good and bad, GOD and DEVIL and people formed religions based on their different interpretation of these words. Certain people were given spirit that they put into words, and then words killed the spirit, even though the words were necessary. (Quote from my book, The Inner Mind) The thousands of religions are the result of a mis-interpretation of spirit. Many teach us to fear God when it is a negative force (The Devil) or fear. Many religions are demanding and controlling, to purposely restrict spiritual growth. Positive energy is love (God) and God does not punish you for your learning experience. A truly evil force takes advantage of fears and negative thoughts and actions. If we move away from God (love) fear becomes hate, anger, resentment and other negative expressions. Negative emotion, thought and action offends the body system. As I see it: Anger affects the head. Seeing and hearing things you dont like affects the eyes and ears. Negative words said or thought affect your communication systems. Chest/breast problems are fear and insecurity. Stomach is worry. Hips a lack of support. Feet; restriction. Joints; resentment. These deficiencies are the same in everyone. The average time between the negative emotional imprint on the subconscious to a manifestation of physical pain or discomfort is ten years. This depends on the intensity and/or accumulation of the negative thought or action. In the past I said that all physical deficiencies have a negative emotional origin, I now suggest that all deficiencies of the human body are caused by violating the rules of creation. In my book, The Inner Mind Revisited I list over forty body deficiencies that were recovered in one hypnotic session of less than one hour, including cancers, tumors, spinal & hip injuries. The person made these changes simply by changing negative emotional imprints to a positive reaction to the same experience. [Editors Note: Al has published his approach in a thirty page booklet called Regression Therapy, It will be available at the retreat] FUTURE PROGRESSIONS In 1963 I was told from spirit that the United States of America will fall to another power, a power that was small or non-existent at that time, and that our downfall would be because of the breakdown of our moral and religious standards. In all my life I have never seen these standards deteriorate as much as in the past four year. I was also told that I would see human clones in my lifetime. I havent seen this yet but I dont doubt that it has already happened. It is rumored that China is already making human clones. In my communication with other life forms, I have learned that by the year 2300 clones will be in common use, just like the machines of today. There will be domed cities in the sky capable of self-supporting a population of 30,000 people; clones included. Space ships moving throughout the universe will be common activity. A female life form on the planet Valenta some eighty-nine light years from earth, described herself as a typical alien as we have come to know them. I asked her if she was considered beautiful where she lives, her immediate response was, Everything is beautiful that doesnt hurt. After fifteen years, I closed my business office and now see people in my home. I have no set fee for my service but I accept donations. I believe that God determines the amount of my gifts.

When the written order is issued (or the judge, on the record, refuses your request for a written order), testify. Your client can still bring a civil suit against you, but such a suit will unlikely succeed because you clearly attempted to honor your promise to your client. You may also request the judge hear your testimony in camera, which means off the record in the judges chambers so that the judge can make a decision whether or not your testimony is relevant to the trail. If the judge rules that your testimony is not relevant, the judge may excuse you from testifying. page 36

ENTRANCING TEACHING TALES STORY TELLING 101 By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD They invented a computer that was just like a human. The first thing it said was, That reminds me of a story. Heres a true story Im making up. -Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD The International Hypnosis Federation 2012 Retreat March 2-4, includes a Friday Story Tellers Luncheon hosted By Peter Blum (He will also teach a pre conference March 1, Hypnotic Story Telling Class). The luncheon features Hypnosis Union President Bruce Bonnett, Dona Tooley, Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas and YOU!) Youll love it! How a well-told story enthralls! Youre naturally captivated by colorful phrases, questions, and descriptions. Stories hypnotize you into a listening trance as your imagination carries you to the place, time and characters of the tale. What happens in the story happens to you. An inner you drops the storyline as you enter your own story of a home, adventure, understanding and in Spencer Humms words possibilibabies. Your inner attention explores options and escapes into imagination. A story is the diving board not the pool that springboards you into your creative inner source. Stories you receive and tell and the language you choose become you. In fact, your life is actually just a story you tell yourself. SECOND HAND ROSE Two hominids walked into a cave You dont have to fall off the roof to discover that the ground is hard. Storytelling may reflect a history and heritage that brings you the past to influence your present.

Looking back brings to you a color, value or meaning that only you understand. WIN EXERCISE 1. Travel back to the year 1640 and explain to someone what a microwave oven (or television) is. How did the time frame affect your words? THE WORD By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, PhD Magical, miss-tickle word Strumming a harp of surprise Teaching you thoughts and ideas Fantasy, wishes, or lies. A key to the source of your knowing Your words are constantly showing What you believe and the stories you tell If you will thrive and if you feel swell If you retrieve veiled truth at its core If you stop learning or you go for more. How you talk to yourself, how you talk to others; your spoken and unspoken words define your experience. The word is your authentic self. The word is your uncreated or self-created substrate. The Word, Mimra, or Vak refer to existence before creation. Ancient Egyptians call the word the Great Creator or Atman. Hindus oldest Vedanta texts call the word Brahman: In the beginning was Brahman and the word is Brahman (Prajapatir vai idam asit Tasya vag dvitya asit). Old and New Testaments of the Bible say In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. WIN TEACHING TALE EXERCISES 1. Recite your favorite nursery rhyme. What is the message here? 2. What was your favorite song when you were small, when you were a teen and now? How do those messages relate to your perception

A PRUDDEN TRADITION IHF Life Time Achievement Award winner, Suzy Prudden always brings life to any occasion. Youve moved with her as she stimulates you to laugh and exercise as we begin each conference. You may have attended her wonderful motivational classes. As fitness expert, Suzy is carrying on a fine legacy. Her mother, Bonnie Prudden, was the world famous fitness pioneer. Bonnie crossed over December 11, 2011 She was 97 and born in 1914. I thought you would enjoy learning about the remarkable elder Prudden: At three years old, she would climb out of her bedroom window and wander the neighborhood at night. A wise doctor gave her frantic mother some advice; There is nothing the matter with this child that discipline and exhaustion wont cure. Put her in the Russian Ballet School. It worked. By the time she was 10, Bonnie was a professional dancer and eventually performed on Broadway with the Weidman/Humphrey concert dancers. Bonnie equated exercising to music with happiness, Body movement has a language all its own, she said. An avid rock climber, skier and fitness enthusiast, at age 23 she fractured her pelvis in four places during a skiing accident but wouldnt take no for an answer when told she would never be able to climb or ski again and could never have children. In 1943 Bonnie was the first woman awarded a National Ski Patrol Badge. She was the first woman to ascend the Shawangunks Mountains and did so 30 times; which is still a record yet by any other woman. Bonnie remained part of the climbing scene for more than a decade. After watching her daughters dismal gym class in the 1940s, Bonnie decided to use her dance and athletic background to give neighborhood children conditioning classes. As the classes grew she used the Kraus-Weber test for minimum muscular fitness to chart student progress and noticed that new students failed the test and returning students passed. Bonnie and Dr. Hans Kraus (who became Kennedys White House doctor) then worked together and tested thousands of children in American and in Europe. The results were, presented to the President Eisenhower at a White House luncheon in 1955 and known as the report that shocked the President concluded that Americans were the least fit and that 58% of American children scored worse than the children of underdeveloped nations. Eisenhower then established the Presidents Council on Youth Fitness (now called the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.) During the era before videotape, Prudden six exercise recordings and 15 books and numerous articles were very popular. She hosted the first nationally televised exercise show and established physical fitness programs at schools, hospitals, and other institutions. She invented exercise eq uipment. She is also credited with creating the first pre-natal and post-natal exercise programs for women. Over 500,000 babies learned rudimentary water skills as a result of her mother and baby, swim and gym classes.

TAPPING OR ENERGY MERIDIAN THERAPY Acupuncturists say that tapping activates calming/sedating meridians that help relieve stress, fear, and trauma. In that spirit, many holistic practitioners promote the process. During this years Its All About YOU Retreat you have a chance to learn more about tapping. Related classes include Bruckers Therapeutic Muscle Testing, EFT Dr Gilmores Way, EFT the Kannard Hypnosis Way, the NeuroTapping Kinesiology Panel with Norma Lent Auerbach, Marla Brucker, Robin Duncan, Ken Guzzo, and Betty Scott. Whoopi Goldbergs used it on her TV show The View to overcome fear of flying in an airplane and many are tap happy this year. Tapping (AKA: Energy Therapies, Energy Meridian Therapy, Hypno-Tapping, Energy Psychology, BSFF, EFT, Energy Tapping or ET, Psycho Energetic Aura Technology or PEAT, TAB, TAT, Thought Field Hypnotherapy or TFH, TFH, TFT); use finger taps on arbitrary or designated points with the intention of disrupting the negative and balancing emotion. Tapping or Meridian Therapy is often combined with eye movement, verbal suggestion and/or muscle testing to modify behavior. A simple tapping sequence might tap around the ear, starting at the temple and moving to the bottom of the ear. You start by tapping the left ear 5-7 times and repeat the sequence for five rounds repeating your affirmation as you do. Then you do the same with the right ear. The process has numerous brands and proselytes. Chiropractor George Goodheart tapped on acupuncture points and noticed terrific benefits. After serving as a Major in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II he was stationed in France and England and was awarded the Bronze Star for inventing an electronic bombing release mechanism for P-47 ground attack missions that replaced an inaccurate ones. When he returned state side, he attended the University of Detroit and the National College of Chiropractic graduating in 1939. He introduced the concept of Applied Kinesiology or muscle testing. As the first official US Olympic team chiropractor he accompanied the team to Lake Placid, NY in the 1979 XIIIth Olympic Winter Games. Inspired by the works of Goodheart, and trained by Florence Kendall (publisher of Muscles-Testing and Function) psychiatrist, John Diamond, coined Life-Energy Analysis in the 1970s. He also called it Behavioral Kinesiology and linked meridians to emotion and added verbal affirmations as he stimulated acupuncture points. American Psychologist, Roger Callahan, PhD, combined kinesiology (muscle testing) and acupressure along with complex tapping sequences. He said that if a person is focused on a specific fear while tapping on the acupoints the fear could be permanently removed. Something like a ringing in your ears (tinnitus) can evoke a specific thought field and a certain sequence will take the upset and noise away. In 1981, Roger named his sequences algorithms and his approach became known as Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Simplified versions of Callahans technique bypassed the muscle testing and became known as single algorithm techniques. His formula: Think about a situation or event and rate how uncomfortable you feel on a scale from one to ten ten is the worst. Then, for five to six minutes, tap with two fingers on acupressure points while rating how you feel until the problem is solved.

In the 1990s Callahans student, former engineer, and coach Gary Craig, dubbed his single algorithm method Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). TAT or Tapas or Touch Acupressure Technique was coined by Tappas Fleming. In this approach, you lightly hold a TAT pose with one hand on the third eye and the other cradling the base of the skull as you put your attention on a problem and then think about the opposite condition. This is said to eliminate pain caused by stagnant qi or energy. Touch and Breathe (TAB) has you touch one of 7 points and take two breaths before going to the next point. Be Set Free Fast (BSFF) was coined by Hypnotherapist, Larry Nims who stopped using it a few years back. Dr Norma Lent Auerbach called her approach Acutap. I named my approach Stockwells Thought Field Hypnotherapy (TFH) and eliminated any negative suggestions from the mix. Energy Psychology was coined by psychologist, Fred Gallo. BODY TAP SEQUENCE Here is one popular routine: 1. Tap, rub or karate chop the tender place on the outside of your hand just above your wrist and below your little finger. Do this seven to ten times and say (with feeling) Even Though I ___________ I Deeply And Completely Accept Myself. 2. Tap the top of your head (TH) seven to ten times chanting the same Even Though I ___________ I Deeply And Completely Accept Myself. And continue with the same routine as you move along to 3. Eyebrow (EB) 4. Side-Of-Eye (SE) 5. Under Eye (UE) 6. Under The Nose (UN) 6. Chin (CH) 7. Collar Bone (CB) one inch down from the center of the clavicle and one inch to the right and then to the left. 8. Under Your Arm (UA) Tap four inches down from the armpit. 9. Wrist (W) 10. Top Of Ankle (TA) Tap both inside and outside about four inches above the anklebone. Tapping For No Pain: Even though Im very relaxed, any limiting energy and notice it moving out of my body; down my arm and out my finger tips. Even though I am very relaxed I relax more and more. Even though I am very relaxed I go deeper than I have ever gone before. Even though I feel good, I feel better and better with each tap. REMOTE TAPPING You can tap for a person whos not there with you or on the phone. You can tap on people or animas. Surrogate tapping uses tapping on a stand-in or substitute. The surrogate tunes in and feels a connection to the one they substitute for and sets the intention this tapping is for __________ as they then tap themselves. Some have direct physical contact (touching hands) between the surrogate and the person being served. Sighing, yawning, rapid blinking, burping, and even flatulence, are said to be signs of energy release. Surrogate muscle testing is also used. Amateur Ski Association and a Service to Youth Award from YMCA. In 2006 She was inducted into the Fitness Hall of Fame and the Massage Hall of Fame. In November of 2007, at age 93, she received the Inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Presidents Council On Physical Fitness. Bonnie brought comfort, hope inspiration, laughter and play to thousands. Her techniques are popularly used in contemporary pain clinics. She advocated taking care of yourself; You cant turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again, she said. To underscore her beliefs, every year, until she left, she celebrated her birthday by doing a somersault into her backyard pool.

A PRUDDEN TRADITION from pg 36

She was a columnist and advisor for Sports Illustrated and in 1957, wearing in a full-length leotard of her own design, she launched a line of fitness fashions on the cover of the magazine. In 1976, she promoted Myotherapy, a hands on system that applies pressure to trigger points to lessen muscle spasms and pain and improve circulation. In 1979, she established the Bonnie Prudden School of Physical Fitness and Myotherapy and she taught the basics of myotherapy in her New York Times Best Seller, Pain Erasure the Bonnie Prudden Way, Bonnie Pruddens Complete Guide to Pain-Free Living, and Fitness Guide for the After 50 Crowd. Bonnie received many honors, including a Safety Award from Eastern

THE STINT STUNT: Heart Piercing Greed Over 600,000 stints are installed each year in the US to the tune of $20,000 each. Thirty-percent (1 in 8) of these are done on those who little or no symptoms. The results of these surgeries show no better results than other non-surgical approaches. -National Cardiovascular data registry study of 1091 hospitals in the United States. 2.5 trillion in medical expenses was paid in the United States in 2009. Years ago I read a study that people who received invasive and painful open heart surgery were no better off than those who didnt have the surgery (accept for the agony of the surgery and recovery of course). Then came the stint. A stint is a tiny metal tube placed in the artery of the heart. If you had a heart attack a stint may help. And then it was announced, according to massive studies, that a stint may only be big business messing with you and you may be no better off than if you improved your diet, got exercise or maybe took effective meds. Initially angioplasty was performed with a small balloon threaded by a catheter into the artery and then inflated. In 1994 a bare-metal stent and in 2003, a drug-coated variety was said to lessen the risk of the opened arteries closing up. The drug stent is a $2,000 woven stainless-steel tube less than an inch long. As angioplasty rose bypass surgery fell 25%. The 2007 New England Journal of Medicine Journal study Courage (conducted by a Buffalo, N.Y. cardiologist William Boden) followed 2287 people for five years and concluded that those with chronic chest pain and no heart attacks who received stints were no better off than those who received other treatments. The procedure hasn't been shown to save lives or prevent heart attacks. Eighty percent of the 500,154 procedures done were precautionary coronary interventions (PCIs), Says Dr Paul Chan who conducted the study. Part of the problem is driven by a huge push to screen those with no symptoms but considered at risk for disease. Any screening abnormality lead to a diagnostic catheterization which then leads to a stint, Says Dr Chan. Yale Cardiologist, Dr Harlan Krumholz put it well, For the first time, a professional medical society has looked at the appropriateness of its care in a comprehensive fashion. This is a wake up call to the rest of medicine Vexing Questions 1. Today more than 80% of patients getting stents received the drugcoated variety. Do stents coated with drugs (intended to prevent arteries from closing up) cause potentially fatal blood clots? Studies report that those given drug-coated stents faced four times greater odds of dying within two years, compared with those treated with non-medicated stents. In 2006 a Swiss study concluded that a potentially deadly clot called late stent thrombosis is twice as likely to occur in patients who receive drugcoated stents as in those who get bare-metal stents. Several studies presented at a conference in Barcelona six months later reiterated the risk. Although late stent thrombosis is rare, occurring in fewer than 1% of patients by some estimates, it happens without warning a year or more after the device is implanted, and "most cases are catastrophic," Sharma says. He has seen patients die of late stent thrombosis. "They felt so good for one year, and then they disappeared." 2. Are stents more effective than medicine, improved diet, and exercise in treating coronary artery disease? FOLLOW THE MONEY Health-care costs soar to over $2.5 trillion in the U.S. Medicare paid 2.57 billion dollars for stint procedures between 2003 and 2009 according to a US Senate Report. PIG FOR A POKE In 2008 Abbot Laboratories- the biggest manufacturer of stints- feted surgeon Mark Medei with a pig roast for installing 30 stints in one day. Dr Midei performed hundreds of supposedly unnecessary catheterizations and stint surgeries at St Josephs Medical Center in Towson, Maryland until he was barred from the hospital and charged with unprofessional conduct by the Maryland state board of physicians. The years tally for stint procedures at the hospital went from 350 to 116 after Midei left. Abbot Laboratories then hired Midei as a sales consultant. After a big who-ha Abbot Laboratories announced that they had, suspended our affiliations with the doctor in 2010. CASH COW In March, 2003, Dr. Kenneth L. Davis became CEO of Mount Sinai Hospital. The hospital had recently lost $50 million because of tighter caps on Medicare reimbursements. Davis decided to build up high-margin specialties and since catheter procedures brought in as much as $20,000 apiece he spent $400,000 a year, to assign doctors and nurses to a cath lab doing lucrative emergency angioplasties to operate on a 24/7 schedule. By the end of 2006 the hospital's total patient revenues grew 41%, to $1.2 billion. Interventional cardiology services, (excluding heart bypass surgeries) contributed 15% of that. The star doctor Sharma at the hospital now earns over $3 million a year. Sharma and his colleagues now supposedly send the "Courage types" (those who come in with minor blockages and few symptoms) home with prescriptions, and not stents. The double-digit growth in angioplasties since 2002 fell 3% by 2007. Stent procedures were down 13% by 2007 and Boston Scientific (BSX) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) manufacturers of drug-coated stents slipped 17-23% or about $4.1 billion in profits. In June 2011 Johnson and Johnson announced that it would stop making stints.

COMPUTER CHAIR EXERCISE ANNE DIBALA, MD DCH (Psychiatrist and IHF Instructor, Dr Anne Dibala will be speaking at our 2012 retreat. Enjoy!) Over 30% of Americans are overweight and only 8% eat properly or exercise regularly. We spend so much time on the computer, sipping a cup of coffee, even reading a book. We peck away answering emails, facebook, tweeting, or gaming. We even feel guilty leaving our computer to exercise or go to the bathroom. So lazy laptop laddies and ladies do these exercises while you sit and activate your brain and body: 1. Straighten up your spine. Take a deep, full breath and tilt your chin up, and allow your head to just lean back. 2. Bring one hand, arm, and shoulder up and out and write an imaginary number 2 in the air. Now move it like you are hitting a tennis ball. Repeat this with your other hand and arm. 3. If you hold your arms out at shoulder level, it almost looks like there is a three lying on its back. From this position swing both arms gently back, clasp your hands behind you, and take a big stretch. 4. Place one of your hands in front of you at belt level, it almost looks the number 4. Now shift your torso from side to side; gently rotate your torso from side to side. Then change hands, and do the same procedure. 5. Imagine drawing the number 5. As your hand and arm come down toward the bottom of the number 5, bring your right hand behind your right back, and gently stretch and try and reach the bottom of your left shoulder blade. Then bring the right hand and arm back up in front, and reach behind your head and try to reach the top of your left shoulder blade. Repeat this process with the other hand/arm. 6. Imagine you are starting the number 6, reaching high up in the air as you begin to bring your hand down the opposite side, lean and reach over to the other side, and breathe in expand your lungs (rib cage, as you take a nice big, breath, stretch, and as you are enjoying this, come back to center, and repeat this on the other side. 7. Bring both arms up, and draw the number 7 in the air with your right hand and a reverse 7 with your left hand. Bring your hands down and place them on your hips, as if you are sitting with your arms and hands akimbo on your hips. With your hands on your hips, flex forward with your back and spine extended as if you had a white light flowing up and down along your entire spine stretching out your entire spine. Lean forward. Then, with your spine in that stretched out position, slide your hands behind you, allowing our hands to greet and clasp each other in friendship, as you gently lean forward, allowing your head to glide down facing the floor, and then looking under and then looking under your chair as far back as you comfortably can. Gently glide up to your sitting position. In the sitting position, take a long gentle breath in, and exhale. Take another big gentle breath in, keeping your torso extended, your spine expended with that energizing white light stretching and elongating your entire body, gently lean backwards, allowing your neck to gently relax backward, and rotate your head in one or two or three gentle circles. You may choose to move your shoulders, torso to rotate and stretch because your entire body down through your waist, buttocks, hips, thighs, lower leg muscles, knees, feet and toes now have loosen up more and more and enjoying moving, flexing and extending. 8. Make an imaginary 8 with your arms over your head, reaching back, interlacing your fingers behind the back of your neck, gently stretching your neck as you raise your head. Rotate and move as your body enjoys the movement. Then drop your hand to your side, reach up your back, and allow them to come together as they reach to kiss one another. Stretch rotate, breathing in and out, imaging, visualizing, experiencing all the oxygen rich blood flowing from your heart, carrying oxygen molecules, nutrients, and restoring chemicals from your refreshed brain, to very part of your wonderful body, renewing, refreshing, rejuvenating your entire being. As you place your hands on the arms of your chair, slowly arise, straighten up, visualizing the white light extending and elongating your spine, tighten your buttock muscles, place your hands on your waist (or, if you are in a place where this is appropriate, on your buttocks, and feel the muscles tighten as you lift. Rotate your hips in a circular motion. You may even flex and bend your knees while you keep your spine extended as you fully breathe in and out. Imagine you have walked to your favorite place in nature and are preparing to sit on a special throne of power, go down a few inches, change your mind and raise up again to the standing position, Repeat this 3 or 4 times. If you are okay with horses imagine sitting on a beautiful horse, and walking, cantering, galloping, or racing down a lovely path or meadow and slowly drop to a semi seated position, up and down up and down, up and down, up and down. When complete, extend and stretch your arms up over your head in a large V for Victory; raising and stretching your torso, spine, and entire body upward. The white light expanding, glowing, and energizing you. Your precious healthy body is your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual gift to yourself. Thank yourself for these few special moments. The white light continues expanding, glowing, pulsating, and filling your beautiful body, mind and spirit. It expands, glowing brighter and brighter outside your body, into the room, making the room brighter and brighter, illuminating every part of the room; filling it with light and positive energy. Positive energy from an infinite source fills your entire work area, space, the building, surrounding buildings, blocks, city, state and town. Like 10,000 suns reaching the furthest Universe, more energy flows to you. Take a few moments as long as you need to enjoy these wonderful feelings, which you will carry with you throughout your days and nights, and when you are ready, come back to room awareness, perhaps counting yourself gently back 5 peaceful physically calm and centered; relaxed and renewed, refreshed and reinvigorated, feeling terrific in every way, 4 knowing you have integrated these knowings into your neurology and this knowing continues to amplify and expand to the spaces around you every day of your life, 3, carrying these wonder feelings with you wherever you go, 2. Feeling absolutely terrific in every way, in every thought, feeling, experience, and moment, and coming up now to 1. Arms over your head, and say, Yes!

Dont worry about laying an egg, join in the fun. Come to the Re-Treat and treat your self to the time of your life. Celebrate and learn with us. Love Shelley

My dad said, Behind every successful man is a woman nagging. Funny and perhaps true. Successful people often have someone encouraging, motivating and mentoring them! The best coaches lovingly stand in the wings saying, You can DO IT! Then the person themselves becomes a selfcoach saying, YES I DID IT! In todays busy, high-speed, techy world you need a master coach so you dont have to go it alone. Dr Shelley's newest book WIN; 27 teaches COACHING SECRETS master coaches use. Each secret and powerful process makes your step-by-step journey fun and easy. Dr. Stockwells WIN stands for Ways I Navigate!

WIN EXERCISES and AFFIRMATIONS guide you to to RESULTS you want. As an added bonus, completing all the exercises in this book makes you eligible for distance learning Continuing Education Credits from the International Hypnosis Federation Coaching Division! An affidavit to do this is found at the back of the book. Oh, before you proceed think of three things you appreciate about yourself 1. ____________ 2. ____________ 3. ____________ Good job!
