The Hypno World on This First Tuesday
Photograph by j / f / photos
A tired sort of morning that threatens to become afternoon a little too quickly seems the fate of the day as I type this. However, as I am in a new location with high-speed internet and my faithful laptop, I could barely let the week pass without comment on the hypnoworld happening around us.
The Good
Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, CT gets my seal of approval. They have gone completely smoke-free, but in doing so they implemented programs to help their employees with smoking cessation. Hypnosis was just one of a number of programs they provided to their new non-smokers (Greenwich Time).
For those whose companies are not so quick to help with smoking cessation, consider taking a vacation to stop smoking. The Royal Yacht Hotel in St. Helier, Jersey features a three session way to become a non-smoker through guide Bryce Alford, who uses life coaching, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), NLP, and hypnosis. The writer reflectioned on his experience with Alford (The Times Online).
There is a name among modern hypnotists that one cannot miss when studying hypnosis and that is the name Dave Elman. Hypnotist Martina Finnerty has written a concise piece about Elman’s idea of the Critical Factor, which is the part of you that inhibits the changes you might want to make (The Guardian).
Congrats to hypnotist Paul McKenna whose book I Can Make You Thin was listed as one of the nine self-help books of the year by the New York Daily News.
Made a New Year’s Resolution? Maybe you should reconsider. Hypnotist Michael Dimas has an interesting point of view on this (www.kswt.com).
And I would like to salute the following hypnotists who did something for World Hypnotism Day this past weekend. These are the items that found their way to my inbox.
