Rob MacInnes, CH is a graduate student studying psychology. With his background in hypnotherapy and academia, he will be publishing articles focused on providing you with a scientific psychological view on how and why hypnosis works.

I think that you are all going to appreciate his articles because he is one who values scientific research AND "clinical" application of hypnotism.

Rob is also a 5-PATH® Certified Hypnotherapist and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® Teacher.

Here is his first article for you. We hope you will enjoy it and that it will add to your knowledge of hypnotism.

Hypnosis and Meditation
By Rob MacInnes CH

A frequent question I see arising from clients, the hypno-curious, and even on meditation oriented internet forums is: What is the relationship of hypnosis to meditation? This question takes on many forms: Is hypnosis a form of meditation? Is the phenomenon experienced in deep meditation some kind of hypnotic or auto suggested hallucination? Is the type of meditation I am doing really a form of trance or self hypnosis? Usually underlying the question is a notion that having one’s practice equated to hypnosis makes it somehow of a lesser order. In other words, "are you meditating or merely hypnotizing yourself?".

Read entire article.

Leave a comment here to welcome Rob as a writer, or to comment on his article.

I want to personally invite you to take my Week of Power Advanced Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Course and become certified in 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®.

I think the best part was the call-in time at the end of the call.

His brother Chris is friends with the leading Australian hypnotist Rick Collingwood and he persuaded him to learn about mind-altering process.

Collingwood said that "Mel’s a natural; he’s got the look as well as piercing blue eyes. He’s going to be a great hypnotist.” Mel’s brother Chris talked to him over the phone about hypnotherapy and he got interested with it.

Though Gibson is learning the art of hypnotherapy, yet it is unsure if he plans to use it. Read more about Mel Gibson’s hypnotic hobby here: http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/hypnotist-mel-gibson_1148975.

Welcome back to Part 2. If you have not yet seen Part 1, go there now and watch that video first.

Like I said in the previous post, those of you who have not been introduced to 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® let me say a few words about it. You will benefit from knowing the following before you watch this video series:

"7th Path" is a very special kind of self-hypnosis that came to me in a very inspired way. It is special for many reasons and here are but a few.

7th Path is the very first mind-body-spirit form of self-hypnosis which was designed to be an ascension technique. When used properly, it will raise your awareness mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

7th Path is also the very first insight driven self-hypnosis program, which enables it to function at a much higher level than any previous form of self-hypnosis. This ability to cause change through insight, enables the practitioner to experience permanent positive enlightened change.

7th Path is the first "anti-virus system" for the human mind. It works to remove old programs that have been accidentally installed in your subconscious mind, which are getting you off track, slowing down your progress in life and generally, causing you chronic unnecessary stress. This kind of stress is extremely unhealthy.

Eliminating this chronic debilitating stress is one of the healthiest things that you can do.

Finally, the ultimate goal of using 7th Path is to help you live the life your soul wants you to live, the life you came into this existence to live. It is a liberating practice that frees you from every negative program or emotion within you, which is holding you back from that goal.

To all "7th Pathers", you will be pleased to know that we have now setup up a place on www.The7thPath.com where you can have continual and easy access to them. Please tell all your 7th Pather friends.

And, now here are some of the questions answered in this program:

• How long should I wait for the "Echo"?

• How do I know if I’m doing 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® correctly?

• How do I separate my self-talk from the "Echo"?

• What if all my "Echo’s" are only negative?

• How do I know I am ready to learn another Recognition, or a longer form?

• What if I have a thought or "Echo" while I’m still saying a Recognition?

• How deep in hypnosis do I need to be in order to do 7th Path Self-Hypnosis correctly?

• Why should I spend the same amount of time on all the Recognitions that I know, rather than just focusing on one or two?

• Why do you say that "7th Path doesn’t heal anything" when I’ve seen so many healing’s experienced when practicing 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®?

• How long does one have to practice 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® before I become a teacher?

• Can we teach 7th Path Self-Hypnosis over the phone?

• How can I learn the Ultimate Recognitions as a practitioner or teacher?

• Do all students get a 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® student booklet?

• If I have the Full Form or Ultimate Form of the Recognitions, should I use them or can I just use the Short Forms?

• If a teacher is only able to teach the Short Forms of the Recognitions to a particular student (because of time restrictions) should he or she do so?

• What are the various ways to teach 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®?

• How would you lead a 7th Path Community in the group practice of the Recognitions when each participant has a different number of Recognitions?

I intend to create more of these videos in the future to help keep you all informed, answer your questions and get you the latest news about 7th Path. I’m not sure if I will post them here on www.CalBanyan.com or not. It will depend on the response that I get to these videos. I will, however, always post them on www.The7thPath.com for you.

One last note, like I mentioned last time, I am going to give a workshop at the National Guild of Hypnotists Convention in August 2010, in which I will be teaching the first two Recognitions in a two hour workshop. If you are going to the NGH convention and do not yet have the first two Recognitions or know someone who has been wanting to get them, please pass this along.

For more information about this, and the other workshops I will be giving at the 2010 NGH convention, click here… Cal Banyan’s Hypnosis Workshops at the NGH Convention. To learn more about how to learn 7th Path go to www.CalBanyan.com.

For those of you who have not been introduced to 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® let me say a few words…

"7th Path" is a very special kind of self-hypnosis that came to me in a very inspired way. It is special for many reasons and here are but a few.

7th Path is the very first mind-body-spirit form of self-hypnosis which was designed to be an ascension technique. When used properly, it will raise your awareness mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

To all "7th Pathers", in short order we will also place this and the subsequent video recordings on www.The7thPath.com where you will have continual and easy access to them.

Some of the questions answered in this program are:

• Can people who are not spiritual benefit from 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®?

• In 7th Path we integrate one’s Higher Power or Philosophy into the process by using the Delta word or concept. Can that be more than one word?

• Is there a wrong Delta word or concept?

• Why are there more than just one form of the Recognitions? When should we use each form?

• What does a 7th Pather need to do to receive the Ultimate Forms?

• How should a 7th Path Teacher provide the different forms of the Recognitions to each practitioner?

• Is there a particular order in which the Full Forms of the Recognitions should be taught?

• When teaching 7th Path to someone who is a client who is also undergoing 5-PATH®, is there a particular way or order in which the hypnotherapist/7th Path Teacher should provide each recognition to the client?

• When the 5-PATH® Hypnotherapist is also teaching 7th Path to a client does he/she need to read the same scripts to the client that are used to teach them the Recognitions in classes or when not doing 5-PATH® work?

Part 2 will be posted next week. I intend to create more of these videos in the future to help keep you all informed, answer your questions and get you the latest news about 7th Path.

One last note, I am going to give a workshop at the National Guild of Hypnotists Convention in August, in which I will be teaching the first two Recognitions in a two hour workshop. If you are going to the NGH convention and do not yet have the first two Recognitions or know someone who has been wanting to get them, please pass this along. For more information about this, and the other workshops I will be giving at the 2010 NGH convention click here… Cal Banyan’s Hypnosis Workshops at the NGH Convention.

I’m sure it will be the "talk of the convention" as everyone who experiences an incredible personal shift talks about what happened to them. This will be an experiential course and human transformations will occur right before your eyes! Again, let the NGH know that you want to be in this course right away. Don’t be one of those who get left out. Their contact information is at www.NGH.net.

NGH Convention News…

Recommended Trainer: Roy Hunter

Roy Hunter is an award winning hypnosis and hypnotherapy trainer, as well as a well known author. He will be presenting a 2-day post conference workshop on Parts Therapy at the NGH convention this year. Charles Tebbetts pioneered parts therapy as an outstanding way of helping clients resolve inner conflicts; and it often succeeds even after other techniques have failed. Before his passing, Tebbetts personally chose Roy Hunter to continue his work.

If you are not yet trained in this kind of parts therapy, be sure to attend this workshop! For more info, go to: http://www.ngh.net/Convention/2010/226.pdf

Roy will also present a 2-hour workshop on inductions. You may register for this and any other convention presentations at: http://www.ngh.net/Convention/2010/conv10.html

Here are some of his popular books which I highly recommend.

See you all at the NGH Convention!

Roy Hunter is a writer for our Banyan Hypnosis Ezine. You can learn more about his approach to hypnosis and hypnotherapy by reading his articles listed on our site.

This week, we have Meredith returning as my co star for this episode of Hypnosis, Etc! Welcome back, Meredith. Your background and experience in using hypnosis for sports improvement is going to be invaluable.

Before we get rolling along with the topic of hypnosis and sports, let me offer some congratulations! Here is the picture of our graduates from our Advanced Hypnotherapy Certification course in May (just a couple of weeks ago) . They were a great group of hypnotherapists who are now taking their practices to a new and higher level with 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®. You can read their feedback about the course here. (In the podcast, I mentioned a member of the class who may have been in the witness protection program. See if you can figure out who that is and leave a comment.)

By the way, my next Week of Power Advanced Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy Certification will be available in August at the NGH convention. For more information go to www.NGH.net.

Okay, and now back to the show! In this free hypnosis training video, Meredith and I reveal some insider techniques and secrets that can help you to develop the sports improvement side of your hypnosis practice.

Professional and amateur athletes know that having a strong mental game is just as important as being physically fit. Hypnosis can relieve the athlete of limiting beliefs and other mental blocks that hold them back, while at the same time unlock unused potential that can get them into the winners circle.

There are many studies that were done by different people and institutions about hypnosis and its medical value. It wasn’t only used on reducing pain for breast cancer but also use as treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, duodenal ulcers and indigestion unassociated with ulcers.

Now, hypnosis is another option for people who are looking for alternative ways to help their physical ills. Read more about Hypnosis and its medical value through: http://dailytribune.com/articles/2010/05/23/online/srv0000008296484.txt

This is the final part in our four part series where Elronn discusses the insights and benefits he received from being on the other side of 5-PATH® hypnotherapy.

• How it is so useful to have the client check his or her internal state to check on their progress.

“Hypnosedation” is a technique where surgical patients are not given general anaesthetic but a combination of hypnotherapy, a mild sedative, and a local anaesthetic. This procedure has been used extensively in Europe and seen a great success there. Studies reportedly indicate that those who undergo hypnosedation can recover faster that those who uses general anaesthesia and they also avoid the side effects of the usual treatment.

Everyone must feel anxiety and/or fear whenever they will undergo surgical treatment that is why we ask for anaesthesia but having some alternatives like hypnosedation to choose from is good as many is also afraid with the side effects cause by using anaesthesia. Read more about the use of hypnotherapy as a phobia treatment here: http://www.thetherapylounge.com/hypnotherapy-news/c-2597/hypnotherapy-used-as-a-phobia-treatment-and-anaesthesia-complement-during-surgery/

On behalf of Maureen and I, we’d like to say that prayers go out to all of Gil Boyne’s family and loved ones. He will be missed.

Before you get rolling along with this week’s videos, I want to give a BIG mention to a couple of new freebies on the Web.

The first is my new "How to Hypnotize" video that I have placed on www.Hypnosis.ORG. It is a mixture of the old and the new. I took a segment out of my hypnosis training video program called, Instant and Rapid Inductions for the Professional, and added some video, explaining exactly what I’m doing in the Elman-Banyan induction. There is some other extra stuff in there on how to do an instant induction by post-hypnotic induction, and how to do some hypnotic depth testing. To make it even better, if you share that video with some friends, as a gift, I have a second video with even more insider tips on how to make inductions work even better.

Next is the Hypnosis World Summit. It is coming up in just a few days. Here’s the deal. 20 top notch speakers in the profession of hypnotism are doing free seminars for those who sign up to hear them. Sweet deal right? I also want to encourage anyone who has a website or knows how use email to check out the affiliate program. I did, here is my link to the Hypnosis World Summit. Check it out and let me know what you think. http://bit.ly/dvS2hX

Speaking of affiliate programs… One of the things I discussed in this video is our affiliate program for Hypnosis.ORG. It’s a great way for anyone to make some passive income.

Okay, back to our regularly scheduled program…

In this free hypnosis training video, Meredith and I also discussed my "Week of Power" advanced hypnosis training course starting May 16th (only room for one more on site, two seats open for live online participation). This class is going to be really fun. Meredith and Elronn are going to sit in and maybe even do a little teaching. My next Week of Power Advanced Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy Certification will be available in August at the NGH convention. For more information go to www.NGH.net.

I talk about the Hypno-1%ers because I want to identify the factors that make the best of the best so good, and then encourage more and more of you in the profession to emulate them.

It all started several years ago when a student in one of my Week of Power Advanced Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy Certification Courses remarked that what I was teaching was only known and used by about the top 1% of those practicing in our profession. That person was Dr. Eric Robins, author of Your Hands Can Heal You. This struck a chord with me because of my mixed background with both law enforcement and the outlaw biker lifestyle. (Click on this link to learn more about the American Motorcycle Association and one percenter clubs and lifestyle).

A brief comparison in my mind between the 1% Biker, and the Hypno-1%er goes something like this. First off. let me say that even though the 1%er biker lifestyle often includes breaking society’s rules (breaking the law and being an outlaw), breaking the law is not something that theHypno-1%er does. He/she may break old outdated "rules" that other hypnosis professionals have accepted as necessary, but still strives to work within the laws of where he/she practices hypnotism. They do compare in other ways as you’ll see below.

The 1%er biker lives the biker lifestyle all the time, not just on weekends. This man (the 1% is almost always a male) knows his motorcycle, how to ride it, rides it often, and is mostly associated with serious bikers like himself. He is often associated with a motorcycle club (either as an associate, prospect or full patch member) and contributes to the well-being of that club always putting it before personal short term monetary gain. Yes, there is an unwritten code of ethics as well. He is aware of other bikers and helps those who are worthy to achieve 1%er status as well, through friendship and mentoring. This fellow is a biker inside and out, not part time or as a hobby. This individual often wears the 1%er diamond patch, similar to the patch I have above, but without the hypnotic spiral.

Likewise the Hypno-1%er, as stated before, "breaks the rules" from time to time, ignoring old out dated ideas that no longer serve him, her or the profession. He or she is a hypnosis professional all the time. It is not just a hobby. The Hypno-1%er is among the very best in the profession, statistically (if such research was ever done right now), he or she would be among the top one percent in abilities and outcome of services. This comes from seeking out training from some of the best in the profession, either through live training, or books, videos, and audio programs. This individual is serious about both, providing the best possible services to clients,and with lifting all of the profession to a higher level. He or she mentors others in the profession who are worth it so that they can become Hypno-1%ers as well.

Below is an outline that is subject to future adjustments. It is presented to you as a starting place to begin to understand what it takes to be aHypno-1%er.

1. Holds him/herself to a stringent code of ethics.
• Example would be the National Guild of Hypnotists Code of Ethics.
• Further exemplified by an unbending commitment to putting clients first.
2. Has the highest commitment to the growth and development of the profession:
• Puts the profession before short term personal monetary gain.
• Belongs to a major hypnosis organization.
• Contributes to the organization and/or profession on a regular basis.
  • Giving talks.
  • Teaching.
  • Writing articles.
  • Publishing both audio and video materials.
3. Endeavors to be the best of the best.
• Is full time in the profession, or could be if he/she wanted to be.
• Studies the greatest teachers of the past and present.
• Learns from every hypnosis session conducted.
• Is an instructor or plans to be, we always learn by teaching.
4. Has a solid understanding of cognitive and emotional factors that contribute to client’s problems and bring about change.
• Understands how painful emotions and stress lead to client’s problems.
• Understands how thoughts lead to emotions and behavior.
• Has an effective model of the mind enabling him/her to work with the conscious, subconscious and unconscious levels of the mind.
5. Masters and utilizes the most powerful induction, deepening and testing techniques.
• Uses the most efficient and effective hypnotic inductions, including instant and rapid inductions.
• Knows what level of hypnosis is required to do the work intended.
• Is able to reliably and rapidly get a client to that level of hypnosis.
• Be able to covertly test for that level of hypnosis.
• Able to skillfully use hypnotic convincers.
6. Masters and utilizes the most powerful hypnotic transformational techniques.
• Can skillfully perform hypnotic age regression work.
• Can skillfully perform hypnotic age progression work.
• Can skillfully perform parts work.
• Can skillfully utilize insights gained in the sessions to make lasting changes through suggestion.
7. Is able to integrate other tools into the hypnosis process when appropriate such as:
• Teaching and supporting the use of self-hypnosis to clients.
• Use of EFT when appropriate (but does not use it in lieu of available hypnotic procedures.)
• Use of NLP techniques to improve communication, compliance, hypnotic suggestions, etc.
8. Is successful nearly 100% of the time.
• It is understood that no one can be successful 100% of the time because success requires the cooperation of the client. Uncooperative and unmotivated clients greatly decrease the likelihood of success, even when the hypnosis professional is fully trained and equipped to help the person reach his/her goals.

So there it is. I’m open to input from everyone, especially the Hypno-1%ers out there and those who aspire to attain this level in the profession.

Now the question is bound to come up. “Cal, are you a 1%er biker type?” No, I’m not. I left that lifestyle a long time ago. Oh, I still have an old Harley, and I still like to ride. I still like to get together with my old biker friends (but they are in North Dakota and Minnesota), so you know that doesn’t happen very often. Now I focus on being a Hypno-1%’ers™. I guess it is in my nature to be hardcore about anything that is really important to me.

So, what do you think it takes to be the best of the best, the top 1% in our profession?

Leave a comment below.

In this episode of Cal Banyan’s Hypnosis Etc., Meredith and I go even deeper into when, how and why you should use Age Progression in your hypnosis sessions to get the highest 1% results.

Before we get started with the show, let me get in one more "plug" for the Hypnosis World Summit. Let me just say, Tom Nicoli is NOT up to any shenanigans! Check out the free online hypnosis classes at http://bit.ly/dvS2hX – they start soon, so go there right after the video. Plus, I want to encourage you to look into the affiliate program that he has on the site. If you have never been involved in an affiliate program, I think that this would be a great place to start.

I think that all practicing hypnosis professionals should read this article and take heed. There are many things to learn from it, and the experience that this individual is experiencing at the hands of "the law" and "the media".

Just off the top of my head I notice that:

1. This reporter made an error that put’s the details of the whole story in doubt, that being, the person she calls "Dave Damon" is really "Dr. Dwight Damon" the president of the National Guild of Hypnotists. (Please reporter, get the details right. I wonder what else you got wrong.)

2. We need to not look or act like something we are not. She is not a medical or psychological professional, but from what the article says (and I’m not so sure about the reliability of the report) that the police believe that she crossed the line.

3. She held out at "PhD" as a qualification, when she should not have, and even worse she was only a "candidate" rather than a recipient of that "degree". I put "degree" in quotes because I do not know if that "PhD" was from a properly accredited program or not.

I’m sure there are more important lessons to be gained from this "news article". What do you think? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Here is a link to the original article http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/odessa-woman-practicing-as-hypnotherapist-was-unlicensed-police-say/1089104.

(In case you don’t know who Elsom is, he is THE guy that organizes and promotes the National Guild of Hypnotists convention, and he is a trusted friend of mine as well.)

Anyway, we were talking and it looks like this is going to be BIG, and you can benefit in two ways!

1. You can listen in on about 20 free hypnosis audio programs live as they are made available to those who sign up to get them FOR FREE. NOTE: These are not hypnosis certification type audios, but rather hypnosis audios for everyone. This means your friends and family will enjoy them. That is really cool! You’ll see when you click the link below.

2. There is an affiliate program. That means you can help people and make some money as well. Now isn’t that they kind of deal you would like to get in on? Here’s how you learn more…

Here is my affiliate link, http://www.bit.ly/dvS2hX

Click on it and you will be taken to the main site and be offered a way to, both sign up for the free audios when they are produced in May, and a way to become an affiliate (so you can help others and make some money as well).

After checking it out, I decided that this is a great thing. I hope you will check it out.

Let’s do GREAT things together,
Cal

PS This Hypnosis World Summit is being put together by Tom Nicoli, the same guy that put together the World Hypnotism Day program, so you know it is going to be good.

For example, Wheatley and Haidt researched how hypnosis has an effect on moral judgment. The result of their research made them conclude that intuition and feelings can influence moral judgments. This topic though is still up for debate and still early to conclude though many are saying that hypnosis is a great tool to determine whether moral judgment is based on emotion or on reasoning. Read more about this topic here: http://www.naturalnews.com/027949_hypnosis_emotion.html

In this episode of Cal Banyan’s Hypnosis Etc., Meredith and I continue our discussion on FRE (Future Re-Enforcing Event’s). Just in case you don’t remember, FRE is used during Age Progression in a hypnosis or hypnotherapy session.

It looks like all of the available seats for my Advanced Hypnosis Training Course in May are taken but that’s okay because I still have online seats available. Hurry before they are taken too!

I am pleased to announce that Meredith is back with me in the episode of Cal Banyan’s Hypnosis Etc.. Welcome back Meredith! I have a surprise for Meredith in this episode because she has been my co-host for over a year now. She has the dedication and commitment to the hypnosis profession to be a true Hypno-1%er™.

Imagine, she is on this show for free. She does it all for you! What a gal!

On this "show" we discuss Age Regression repeatedly in our videos because it is very important in 5-PATH®. However, there is a very powerful tool that I want to remind everyone about and it is called Age Progression. I think you are going to like this a lot! You are going to see so many ways in which Age Progression work can help your clients. This one is really going to get you thinking!

It’s all explained in the video so check it out and leave a comment below to let me know what you think. (We work for comments! Come on, give us some more "comment love" will ya?)

The reason I’m writing to you is that something important in the world of Internet marketing just happened and I thought it would be fun to share it with you.

I don’t know if you have heard of Frank Kern (the guy in the photo), but he is like the ultimate Internet marketing guru.

Anyway, he puts out lots of great training videos, and I just heard about his latest ones. I haven’t even looked at them yet but I know they are going to be two things… Fun, and very informative.

Here is a link, http://getcoreinfluence.com/?ref=hZWBPIwz0t77WQSc

By the way, these are free, there is nothing to buy, just good information. At least that is what I’ve heard. Let me know what you think.

In this weeks’ episode of Cal Banyan Hypnosis Etc., I tell Elronn why he should commit to going to the NGH convention being held in Marlborough, Massachusetts in August.

Most importantly, Elronn and I answer more of your very interesting questions about hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

Well, we did it. We entered and completed the 100+ mile bike ride from Irvine, California down to San Diego, California. Actually, we went over 100 miles because of a wrong turn, and ended up doing 109 miles!

I’m so glad that we made that commitment and completed the long ride. It took a lot of commitment and follow-through, but it was well worth it.

The picture on the above is of Memo and me right after we crossed the finishing line, posing with a celebratory cigar!

Well, we have just committed to doing it again. AND, I’m wondering if there are any hypnotists out there that want to take on the challenge. There is plenty of time to get on your bike and start getting in shape. It is time to use your hypnosis and hypnotherapy techniques on yourself and take your fitness to the next level! Next year, you can be in the photo (cigar optional).

Here is a link to the site that has the information about “Amtrak Century Ride” sponsored by the Orange County Wheelman bicycle club.

http://www.ocw.org/Amtrak/Default.asp

Come on and join me in the commitment to go the distance. It will be a great motivator to help you get on that bike of yours and get into shape for the ride. You will look and feel great this summer!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think. If you are ready to make the commitment to do the ride with Memo and me, then let us know in the comment section below! It will be fun!

I’ve refined it over the years and I’m offering it to you to use in your hypnosis session. I’m doing this because I understand how, in the beginning, you need some really good examples of scripts in order to do good work and build your confidence. Plus, even if you have lots of experience, there is always that time when you could use a little inspiration when writing up a custom script for a new client.

This script was previous published on my hypnosis websites, www.Hypnosis.ORG and www.HypnosisCenter.com. Also check out the other great free hypnosis scripts.

Before you begin using the “script” that is to follow, please read these comments, because this is really more than a script or hypnosis patter when you really begin to understand how you can use it.

Since 5-PATH® is a universal approach to doing hypnotherapy, it seemed that it would be extremely useful if a universal approach to direct suggestion parts of the process could be developed. This script is virtually universal because it is extremely flexible. In actuality, there could be no such thing as a completely universal script that would work in every case, but I believe this approach comes pretty close. It uses the idea of coming to a “fork in the road,” to represent a life-changing choice. This idea idiom is found in almost every culture in one form or another. It also uses the familiar idea of a “High Road” and a “Low Road” of which the “High Road” is universally accepted as being the preferable choice, which may require some effort, but well worth it.

This approach to the direct suggestion parts of the session will be particularly effective for those who want to change behavior (as opposed to mood or phobia problems, but can be used in this case also). The behaviors could include smoking, over-eating, drug or alcohol abuse, even things like shyness, or any other self-defeating behavior.

Also, this script can be followed by additional patter, or a more precise patter containing suggestions for the specific change that your client wants to make, if you deem it necessary or useful. In that case, this script can be considered as a way to prepare the client for maximum suggestibility for the coming suggestions.

When using this script, I recommend that the experienced therapist, use it mostly in principle, and freely vary from it. Freely adapt it to your client’s needs and personality (and your style of delivery), changing wording as you see fit, to accomplish the goal. The goal here is to make the client highly suggestible for suggestions associated to the change they want to make. This is vividly accomplished by way of comparing, what they have been doing along with its outcome (i.e., the difficulties that smoking causes), and the likely outcome of making the change (i.e. better health as a nonsmoker).

In the script, doing the easy thing (taking the Low Road), is associated with ultimate failure, while putting some effort into making the change is associated with ultimate success and achievement (taking the High Road).

When you take your client down the Low Road, remember to have her become aware of the people and objects associated with that low and painful road. For example, if working with a smoker, as you go down the bad road of smoking, have her look at all of the cigarette butts and ashtrays along the way, so that the emotional pain of the Low Road experience becomes associated with those items. If you are working with a substance abuser, have her look at all of the paraphernalia and drug-using friends that are all along that road. This is useful because it helps your client to break free from associating pleasure with these items and individuals. Then they can begin to associate pleasure and success with the people and things on the road on the right as you point them out.

The High Road to Success

Today you are standing at a fork in the road of your life. You have come to a decision point. Should you continue to do what you have been doing with regard to____________________?

You think about all the problems and concerns that __________ brings into your life.

(Mention some of the reasons that your client told you she wants to make the change).

The road on the left is a slow downward road. It is easy to take the Low Road. You could just coast down it. It is the path of doing what you have been doing for so long. But, it is a path of misery. The road on the right goes upward. It will take some effort to take the High Road. But, it is the way of freedom, health and life. It is the road of being in control of your life. It is the High Road to Success!

Look at the road on the left. It means carrying all of the problems associated with continuing to ________with you even longer than you already have. Think of how bad ________makes you feel. Really allow yourself to feel the weight of the burden of this self-destructive behavior. Feel your desire to be free from all of the ill effects of hurting yourself this way.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that low road of being out of control one more year. 1, 2, 3! There you are, after one more year of being out of control–of being miserable because you have continued to______________________________. You feel the weight of the disappointment in yourself. You notice the things that litter this painful way of living (mention paraphernalia, such as ashtrays, bottles, etc.) (If it seems appropriate to the issue, point out the people associated with the problem, the bad influences.) There is a mirror there and you see yourself and you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have another year of __________? Do I feel better having made this decision? Do I feel healthier or worse? Do I look and feel better about myself, or not? Do I feel smarter? Feel the disappointment you have in yourself for continuing to __________________for another year!”

I’m going to count from 1 to 3 and we are going to go down to the 5 year point on this road of being free of ___________ to the year ______! 1, 2, 3! There you are, after 5 more years of being on the low road. Bring forth all of the effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision. You feel ___________. You feel hopeless. Now look around you and you see all of the (mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc). Those are the things that have done this to you. So, you can’t stand them anymore. Maybe you even hate the sight of them. If there are people associated with doing this _____________, are they really your friends? Do they really care about you? Again, you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for ___________ for 5 more years? Do I have the right to do this to myself? Am I healthier for making this choice? How is it affecting my life? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel smarter for _________________ for an additional 5 years?”

And now, I count from 1 to 3 and we move down to the 10-year point on this low road of continuing to the year_________. 1, 2, 3! There you are after 10 more years of hurting yourself by _____________. Once again, bring forth all of the cumulative effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision, of continuing to _______for 10 more years. You feel _____________. You feel more hopeless. Again, you look around you and you see all of the (mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc). Those are the things that have done this to you. So, you can’t stand them anymore.

Maybe you even hate the sight of them. If there are people associated with doing this _____________, are they really your friends? Do they really care about you? How do you feel about them? There is a mirror there and you look at yourself. You ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for ___________ for 10 more years? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel intelligent for ________ for an additional 10 years?” Really feel the consequences of remaining on this low but easy road.

As I count back from 5 to 1, you come all the way back to the beginning of the fork in the road. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And, you feel better because none of that has to happen yet and it doesn’t have to… You have decided not to let that happen to you. You have decided to take the High Road of Success on the right! You know that it will take a little more effort, but now you know in your heart and mind that it is worth it. You have decided to start taking better care of yourself! In fact you have already left the old way by coming here today! You are already taking your first steps toward freedom and success on the road on the right.

Let’s see how this new decision to ____________ for life affects you. You think about all the good positive changes that becoming free from the self-destructive habit has brought into your life! Being free from all those problems–the feeling of really being in control and confidant. You are now on the path on the right, it means success and a feeling of energy and optimism.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that road of having made this change for one year. 1, 2, 3! There you are, after one year of being in control. You feel good, great! You have done it you are a success and you never felt better and you are going to feel even better yet! There is a mirror there and you see yourself and you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have accomplished my goal for a whole year? (If it seems appropriate to the problem, point out the things/items and people associated with this new way of living and being.) Do I feel better having made this healthy decision? Do I feel smarter?” Feel the pride and health that is inside of you. Was it worth it? Do you want to continue to stay on the High Road of Success?

I’m going to count from 1 to 3 and we are going to go down to the 5 year point on this road of being successful in making this change to the year_______! 1,2,3! There you are, after 5 more years of success, of reaping the rewards of making this permanent change in how you ____________. 5 years of being in control and energized! Bring forth right now all of the effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision. You feel strong. Everything in your life is better for having made this permanent change. Enjoy the feeling of knowing that you have made a permanent change, knowing that you will never go back to the old way.

And now, I count from 1 to 3 and we move down to the 10-year point on this High Road of Success to the year _______. 1, 2, 3, and there you are, after 10 more years of making this good and positive change in your life. Bring forth all of the effects of that smart choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision, of continuing to be in control for 10 more years.

_________________ is now simply something that you used to do. It was a mistake to have ever done it, but now you are free and will remain free for the rest of your life! You look into that mirror one more time and ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for __________________ for 10 more years? Would I ever go back to that old bad habit of hurting myself by ________________? Am I glad that I have made this permanent change? A change made for good?” Of course, you are!

I count back to 1 and you are back in the year __________________, 5,4,3,2,1. You now have a new found level of certainty that you are ready–really ready to make this change! You are now ready to accept powerful hypnotic suggestions to help to keep you on the road on the right, the High Road of Success.

Now, your subconscious mind fully accepts the suggestion that you will never ________________ again. (Or, “From now on you will ___________________________.”) This keeps you on the High Road of Success on the right. (Repeat and add benefits that your client expects to receive from making this change. For example, “Now that you have decided to become a non-smoker for good, you will find_____.”)

This script can then be followed up with a short patter script or direct drive technique, etc. It really prepares clients for further suggestions or procedures such as Forgiveness Therapy or Parts Mediation Therapy, that help your clients make the changes that they want to make. We often use this script for smoking and then follow it up with another smoking cessation script.

Here is an example of how the approach can be used when working with smoking cessation. Alterations and adaptations will be in bold.

The High Road to Success: As A Nonsmoker

Today you are standing at a fork in the road of your life. You have come to a decision point. Should you continue to do what you have been doing with regard to smoking?

You think about all the problems and concerns that smoking brings into your life.

(Mention some of the reasons your client told you she wants to make the change).

You think about how it has robbed you of money, energy, health, and having a sense of control over your life.

The road on the left is a slow downward road. It is easy to take the Low Road. You could just coast down it. It is the path of doing what you have been doing for so long, by continuing to smoke. But, it is a path of misery. The road on the right goes upward. It will take some effort to take the High Road. But, it is the way of freedom, health and life. It is the road of being in control of your life. It is the High Road To Success! It is the road you have decided to take as a nonsmoker.

Look at the road on the left. It means carrying all of the problems associated with continuing to smoke with you even longer than you already have. Think of how bad smoking makes you feel. Really allow yourself to feel the weight of the burden of this self-destructive behavior. Feel your desire to be free from all of the ill effects of hurting yourself by smoking and taking poison into your body.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that low road of being out of control one more year. 1, 2, 3! There you are, after one more year of being out of control–of being miserable because you have continued to smoke cigarettes. You feel the weight of the disappointment in yourself. You notice the things that litter this painful way of living-filthy ashtrays, burns in fabrics and furniture, and the smell! You see a road littered with cigarette butts, and cartons or packs of cigarettes. You see them and they make you feel this way. (mention the associated paraphernalia, such as ashtrays, bottles, etc.) You see others that you know, who smoke, maybe it is the ones that you have smoked with, or others that you have seen huddled together outside of buildings or stuck in the smoking section of restaurants, and the sight of them makes you feel sorry for them, they are stuck on the Low Road of being a smoker. (If it seems appropriate to the issue, point out the people associated with the problem, the bad influences.) There is a mirror there and you see yourself and you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have another year of smoking cigarettes? Do I feel better having made this decision? Do I feel healthier or worse? Do I look and feel better about myself, or not? Do I feel smarter?” Feel the disappointment you have in yourself for continuing to smoke for another year!

I’m going to count from 1 to 3 and we are going to go down to the 5 year point on this road of a smoker to the year ______! 1, 2, 3! There you are after 5 more years of being on the Low Road. Bring forth all of the effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision. You feel unhealthy, worried about the effects of putting tobacco poison in your mouth every day. You feel hopeless. Now look around you and you see all of those cartons and packs of cigarettes that you have bought, the dirty stinking ashtrays, the butts, the smell on your clothes and hands and face, and you hate it because it brings in all of these terrible feelings of feeling out of control, a victim of tobacco marketing. (Mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc). Those are the things that have done this to you. So, you can’t stand them anymore. Maybe you even hate the sight of them. You see others on the path, and they look terrible and they feel terrible. They are outsiders. Society is pushing them out, because they seem so ignorant or stubborn and they smell. No one wants them around their children, or to be around them socially or even at work because they smell. You may have smoked with some of these people. Are they really your friends? Do they really care about you? Again, you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for smoking for 5 more years? Do I have the right to do this to myself? Am I healthier for smoking? How is it affecting my life? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel smarter for smoking for an additional 5 years?”

And now I count from 1 to 3 and we move down to the 10-year point on this low road of continuing to the year_________. 1, 2, 3! There you are after 10 more years of hurting yourself by smoking. Once again, bring forth all of the cumulative effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision, of continuing to smoke for 10 more years. You feel tired and worried about your health. You feel more hopeless. Again, you look around you and you see all of the things that are associated with making you feel this way, the ashtrays, the cigarette butts, the pack and cartons of tobacco poison in the form of cigarettes (mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc). Those are the things that have done this to you. So, you can’t stand them anymore. Maybe, you even hate the sight of them. Just looking at all that stuff associated with smoking makes you feel this way. You see the others who are on the road of being out of control with smoking. Maybe you wish you could help them. Some may be family or friends. Notice, how seeing them smoke makes you feel about cigarettes. There is a mirror there and you look at yourself. You ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for smoking for 10 more years? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel intelligent for being a smoker for an additional 10 years?” Really feel the consequences of remaining on this low but easy road.

As I count back from 5 to 1, you come all the way back to the beginning of the fork in the road. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And, you feel better because none of that has to happen yet and it doesn’t have to… You have decided not to let that happen to you. You have decided to take the High Road of Success on the right! You know that it will take a little more effort, but now you know in your heart and mind that it is worth it. You have decided to start taking better care of yourself! In fact you have already left the old way by coming here today! You are already taking your first steps toward freedom and success on the road on the right as a nonsmoker for good!

Let’s see how this new decision to be free from the smoking habit for life affects you. You think about all the good positive changes that becoming free from the self-destructive habit has brought into your life! Being free from all those problems–the feeling of really being in control and confident. You are now on the path on the right, it means success and a feeling of energy and optimism. You have more energy. You feel more in control. You feel more self-confident, even smarter. You are free of all of the worries, costs and inconveniences that cigarettes cause.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that road of being a free, nonsmoker. Of having made this healthy change for one year. 1, 2, 3! There you are after one year of being in control, of being a nonsmoker. You feel good, great! You have done it! You are a success and you never felt better and you are going to feel even better yet! There is a mirror there and you see yourself and you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have accomplished my goal of being a nonsmoker for a whole year?” There are some new things in your life because you are more active and energetic. You are spending more and more time with friends that are on this High Road of success. You have inspired others to make this good healthy choice. (If it seems appropriate to the problem, point out the things/items and people associated with this new way of living and being.) “Do I feel better having made this healthy decision? Do I feel smarter? Feel the pride and health that is inside of you. Was it worth it? Do you want to continue to stay on the High Road of Success?” You have decided that this life of a nonsmoker is the right life for you.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3 and we are going to go down to the 5 year point on this road of being a success in becoming a nonsmoker to the year_______!

1,2,3! There you are after 5 more years of success, of reaping the rewards of making this permanent change in how you feel. You have found other ways to relax or take a break. Good healthy ways to take a break when you want to. 5 years of being in control and energized! Bring forth right now all of the effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision. You feel strong. This is how it feels as a nonsmoker. Everything in your life is better for having made this permanent change. Enjoy the feeling of knowing that you have made a permanent change, knowing that you will never go back to the old way.

And now, I count from 1 to 3 and we move down to the 10-year point on this High Road of Success to the year _______. 1, 2, 3, and there you are after 10 more years of making this good and positive change in your life. Bring forth all of the effects of that smart choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of this decision, of continuing to be in control for 10 more years.

Smoking is now simply something that you used to do. It was a mistake to have ever smoked, but now you are free and will remain free for the rest of your life! You look into that mirror one more time and ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for kicking that old disgusting habit for 10 more years? Would I ever go back to that old bad habit of hurting myself by smoking? Am I glad that I have made this permanent change?” A change made for good! Of course you are!

I count back to 1 and you are back in the year __________________, 5,4,3,2,1. You now have a new found level of certainty that you are ready–really ready to make this change! You are now ready to accept powerful hypnotic suggestion to help to keep you on the road on the right, the High Road of Success, the road of a nonsmoker. Now your subconscious mind fully accepts the suggestion that you will never smoke again. From now on you will always be a nonsmoker, free to be happier and healthier for the rest of your life! This keeps you on the High Road of Success on the right. (Repeat and add benefits that your client expects to receive from making this change. For example, “Now that you have decided to become a non-smoker for good, you will find that you have improved your life in every way!”)

The following is an example of how you can modify the script for weight loss.

The High Road to Success: And Becoming Lean and Healthy

Today you are standing at a fork in the road of your life. You have come to a decision point. Should you continue to do what you have been doing with regard to taking good care of your body?

You think about all the problems and concerns that being overweight brings into your life.

(Mention some of the reasons your client told you she wants to make the change).

You think about how being overweight has robbed you of energy, health, success and feeling confident about your appearance.

The road on the left is a slow downward road. It is easy to take the Low Road. You could just coast down it. It is the path of doing what you have been doing for so long, by continuing to be out of control to eating for the wrong reasons. But, it is a path of misery. The road on the right goes upward. It will take some effort to take the High Road. But, it is the way of freedom, health and life. It is the road of being in control of your life. It is the High Road To Success! It is the road you have decided to take by eating only when it is healthy to do so, and to eat in only a healthy way.

Look at the road on the left. It means carrying all of the problems associated with continuing to be overweight with you even longer than you already have. Think of how bad overeating and snacking can make you feel. Really allow yourself to feel the weight of the burden of this self-destructive behavior. Feel your desire to be free from all of the ill effects of hurting yourself by eating this way and not exercising your body sufficiently.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that low road of being out of control one more year. 1, 2, 3! There you are, after one more year of being out of control–of being miserable because you have continued to be overweight. You feel the weight of the disappointment in yourself. You notice the things that litter this painful way of living-the snack food and candy wrappers–the second helpings or the portions that were too large, which made you too large. You see those kinds of things and they make you feel this way (mention paraphernalia, such as ice-cream, chocolates, candy, etc.). You see others that you know, who are out of control to bad eating behaviors, maybe it is the ones that you have eaten or snacked with, and the sight of them makes you feel sorry for them, they are stuck on the Low Road of being a overweight. Some of them may have even tempted you to lose control. (If it seems appropriate to the issue, point out the people associated with the problem, the bad influences.) There is a mirror there and you see yourself and you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have another year of being out of control to food? Do I feel better having made this decision? Do I feel healthier or worse? Do I look and feel better about myself, or not? Do I feel smarter?” Feel the disappointment you have in yourself for continuing to live this way for another year!

I’m going to count from 1 to 3 and we are going to go down to the 5 year point on this road of being overweight to the year ______! 1, 2, 3! There you are after 5 more years of being on the Low Road. Bring fourth all of the effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision. You feel unhealthy, worried about the effects of putting too much food in your mouth every day. You feel hopeless. Now look around you and you see all of those snack food wrappers, and large portions of food. The road is littered with wrappers and empty dishes, and emotional pain. You hate looking at them because it brings back all of these terrible feelings of feeling out of control and overweight, a victim of marketing and habits. (Mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc). Those are the things that have done this to you. So, you can’t stand them anymore. Maybe you even hate the sight of them. You see others on the path, and they look terrible and they feel terrible because they eat too much or the wrong kind of things, and they don’t get enough exercise. They are outsiders. Society is pushing them out, because they seem so ignorant or stubborn. Some people don’t even want to be around them socially or even at work. You may have cheated on a diet with some of these people. Are they really your friends? Do they really care about you? Again, you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for being overweight for 5 more years? Do I have the right to do this to myself? Am I healthier for eating too much and not getting enough exercise? How is it affecting my life? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel smarter for being overweight for an additional 5 years?”

And now I count from 1 to 3 and we move down to the 10-year point on this low road of continuing to the year_________. 1, 2, 3! There you are after 10 more years of hurting yourself by overeating. Once again, bring fourth all of the cumulative effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision, of continuing to be overweight for 10 more years. You feel tired and worried about your health. You feel more hopeless. Are you heavier? Again, you look around you and you see all of the things that are associated with making you feel this way, the foods and behaviors such as just sitting there and eating while you watch television or work on the computer or read. (Mention items associated with the problem, i.e., ashtrays, or candy wrappers, etc). You see all the things that you eat that have caused this to happen to you, snacks, cakes, cookies and second helpings. Those are the things that have done this to you. So, you can’t stand them anymore. Maybe you even hate the sight of them. Just looking at all that stuff associated with being overweight makes you feel this way. You see the others who are on the road of being out of control to food. Maybe you wish you could help them. Some may be family or friends. Notice how seeing them eat too much, or the wrong things, makes you feel about doing those kinds of things yourself. There is a mirror there and you look at yourself. You ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for being overweight for 10 more years? Is my life better or worse? Do I feel intelligent for being out of control this way for an additional 10 years?” Really feel the consequences of remaining on this low but easy road.

As I count back from 5 to 1 you come all the way back to the beginning of the fork in the road. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And, you feel better because none of that has to happen yet and it doesn’t have to… You have decided not to let that happen to you. You have decided to take the High Road of Success on the right! You know that it will take a little more effort, but now you know in your heart and mind that it is worth it. You have decided to start taking better care of yourself! In fact you have already left the old way by coming here today! You are already taking your first steps toward freedom and success on the road on the right as a person who takes good care of her body, eats right and exercises!

Let’s see how this new decision to be lean and healthy for life affects you. You think about all the good positive changes that becoming free from the self-destructive habit eating too much or the wrong kinds of things has brought into your life! Being free from all those problems–the feeling of really being in control and confidant. You are now on the road on the right, it means success and a feeling of energy and optimism. You have more energy. You feel more in control. You feel more self-confident, even smarter. You are free of all of the worries, costs and inconveniences that being overweight can cause.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3, and we are going to go down that road of being lean and healthy. Of having made this healthy change for one year. 1, 2, 3! There you are after one year of being in control, of being slim and trim. You feel good, great! You have done it! You are a success and you never felt better and you are going to feel even better yet! There is a mirror there and you see yourself and you ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself? Am I happy to have accomplished my goal of being slim and trim for a whole year?” There are some new things in your life because you are more active and energetic. You are spending more and more time with friends that are on this High Road of success. You have inspired others to make this good healthy choice. (If it seems appropriate to the problem, point out the things/items and people associated with this new way of living and being.) “Do I feel better having made this healthy decision? Do I feel smarter?” Feel the pride and health that is inside of you. Was it worth it? Do you want to continue to stay on the High Road of Success? You have decided that this life of being slim and trim, lean and healthy is the right life for you.

I’m going to count from 1 to 3 and we are going to go down to the 5 year point on this road of being success in becoming and remaining lean and healthy to the year_______! 1,2,3! There you are after 5 more years of success, of reaping the rewards of making this permanent change in how you feel. You have found other ways to relax or take a break. Good healthy ways to take a break when you want to. 5 years of being in control and energized! Bring fourth right now all of the effects of that choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of that decision. You feel strong. This is how it feels as you maintain your lean healthy lifestyle.

Everything in your life is better for having made this permanent change. Enjoy the feeling of knowing that you have made a permanent change, knowing that you will never go back to the old way.

And now, I count from 1 to 3 and we move down to the 10-year point on this High Road of Success to the year _______. 1, 2, 3, and there you are after 10 more years of making this good and positive change in your life. Bring forth all of the effects of that smart choice! Really allow yourself to feel the effects of this decision, of continuing to be in control for 10 more years.

Overeating and eating too much is now simply something that you used to do. It was a mistake to have ever allowed yourself to become overweight, but now you are free from the fat and will remain free for the rest of your life! You look into that mirror one more time and ask yourself, “Am I pleased with myself for making this good healthy change in my life for 10 more years? Would I ever go back to that old bad habit of hurting myself by making myself fat? Am I glad that I have made this permanent change?” A change made for good! Of course, you are!

I count back to 1 and you are back in the year __________________, 5,4,3,2,1. You now have a new found level of certainty that you are ready–really ready to make this change! You are now ready to accept powerful hypnotic suggestion to help to keep you on the road on the right, the High Road of Success, the road of always being in control of eating and exercise. Now your subconscious mind fully accepts the suggestion that you will never be overweight again. From now on you will always make being slim and healthy one of the most important things in your life. You will always check to see if you are hungry before you put anything to eat in your mouth. If you feel bad, you will respond to your feelings in a way that goes to the cause of the feelings. You will never again distract yourself or try to make yourself feel better by eating! If you need to make yourself feel better, you can do something else, any good and pleasant thing, so long as it isn’t illegal, immoral or fattening. This will keep you free to be happier and healthier for the rest of your life! This keeps you on the High Road of Success on the right. (Repeat and add benefits that your client expects to receive from making this change. For example, “You will always be able to maintain a slim and healthy body, because you will always remember that there is always something better to do than make yourself fat by eating too much or too frequently, or the wrong kinds of things. By doing this you have improved your life in every way!”)

Again let me end this by saying that this is intended to be a very flexible approach. Use it as a basic structure, and adapt it to the needs of your clients. For example, if for some reason your client is unable to exercise, then don’t suggest that she exercise. If she can exercise and does not want to, you can’t make her begin a program of exercise. In such a case, I would ask her how she feels about the idea of just becoming more active by parking farther away from the office or taking the stairs rather than the elevator. If she likes that approach, I suggest those kinds of behaviors.

It is time for 5-PATH® hypnotherapists to move beyond the written script! I present to you this “universal” script as a way of accomplishing that goal.

Message with Question about Acceptance of DCH

Hi Cal,

I would really like to attend your upcoming Week of Power course. But according to your website I need to be certified as a hypnotist or hypnotherapy by a reputable organization such as the National Guild of Hypnotists in order to enroll. I have a DCH from ______________ (in the USA). Would you accept that rather than a certification by an organization?

Name withheld

My Response

Hello Name withheld,

Thanks for your message. From our perspective the DCH is worthless. It is not a real degree with "regional accreditation". And we do our best to recommend that hypnosis professionals do not become associated with such non-academic programs.

I recommend that you have a look here to learn more about the kinds of problems that these "degrees" can cause.

http://www.calbanyan.com/archives/2006/07/13/phd-trouble-for-well-known-hypnotist-in-the-uk/

http://www.tomnicoli.com/blog/2007/06/07/hypnotists-and-credentials-what-a-business/

I understand that such programs can require you to read many books, even attend lectures, and require one to write a paper/thesis/dissertation, etc. But they are still not real, and do not meet regular academic standards and as such, should be avoided. I understand that one can learn a lot from reading all those books etc. but still the degrees are not real.

With this in mind, we cannot recognize your DCH, and would have to decline your request unless you can show that you have had previous certification in hypnosis or hypnotherapy by a reputable organization such as the National Guild of Hypnotists.

Here’s to your success!
Cal Banyan

Well, there you go. I am certainly not the hypno-sheriff. I can’t keep anyone from becoming involved in this kind of thing. But, I do want to put it out there. Don’t be fooled by these "degree" programs.

What do you think of these degrees? Do you have one? Were you thinking of getting one? I believe that they are deceptive and that when one holds that "degree" out as a qualification to the public, individuals seeking services will think that it is real. This is unfair, because an individual with this degree is not necessarily more qualified than anyone else offering hypnosis or hypnotherapy services. As a matter of fact, the hypnotists and hypnotherapists practicing today may be much more qualified and not have the degree.

Do you want a degree? Good! I’m all for education. I have both a BS and MA in Psychology. But they are certainly not required in order to be qualified to do this work.

So, if you live in a warm climate anywhere in the world and would like me to come to your area and conduct my courses, either the Week of Power Advanced Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Training or my NGH Approved Banyan Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Certification Super Course, now is the time to let me know.

Here is what you need to do. Contact us right away if you:

• Can help us to connect with an excellent place to hold our course.

• You can legally sponsor us into your area or country.

• You can help us to promote the course to English speaking students in your area.

That is it! Do you want to bring me and some of the best hypnosis training in the world to your city? Contact me right away, we are scheduling for winter right now! I can only go to so many places, so you need to let me know if you are interested as soon as possible. Email me at CalBanyan@HypnosisCenter.com and maybe I’ll see you in class!

NEWS FLASH: I just received news that the 2010 NGH convention schedule has just become available as a PDF file that you can see now.

Be the first to find out when your favorite topics are being presented and when your favorite speakers/teachers are presenting.

It is common for my programs and other popular speakers’ seminars and workshops to be sold out during or before the convention, so act now.

Find the talks and seminars that you want to attend by checking this schedule and then contact the National Guild of Hypnotist to secure the seats that you want by calling them at (603) 429-9438.

Additional information about my workshops is available on www.HypnosisCenter.com or by contacting Maureen@HypnosisCenter.com.

He says that he wants to quit, but in his own words, according to USA Today’s website, "I constantly struggle with it" and "there are times when I mess up". Then, he goes on to say, "I don’t do it in front of the kids." I wonder if there is a smoking room in the White House, or does he just step outside?

I’m thinking that a really smart person like Obama, if he really wanted to quit smoking, he could do it. Seriously, lots of people have done it, either by using sheer willpower, a medical intervention such as the patch, or through hypnosis.

I think that President Obama should see a good hypnotist. What do you think?

Can’t make it on such "short notice"? Here are links to my next NGH Approved Banyan Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Certification Courses. Click here, Hypnosis Certification.

Here is some "Feedback From Our Graduates" just in case you were wondering if it is really as good as I’m saying.

See you in class!

I think that one of the most enjoyable classes I ever took was Jerry Valley’s stage hypnosis course, and it wasn’t even in Las Vegas!

Fortunately, you can take this course from Jerry Valley (the Man Himself, and the specially selected master teachers) and do it all in "the city that never sleeps… Las Vegas".

Here is why you should take this course with Jerry Valley in Las Vegas:

• Graduates earn anywhere from $750 to $3000 (and more) PER SHOW!

Hurry, the savings won’t last forever and the course starts on June 28.

Have fun!

In this episode of Cal Banyan’s Hypnosis Etc., Elronn and I give you some more tips on becoming a Hypno-1%er. You know, one of my Banyanism’s is, "People only value what they put time money and effort into". So giving your clients homework between hypnosis sessions can really add to their success.

Watch the video and you will see what I mean.

Here are some examples of homework for your hypnotherapy clients:

• Teach them self-hypnosis. If our clients are open to learning; we teach them 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®.

• Suggest a television program to reinforce hypnotic suggestions. For example, if they are working on weight loss, then have them watch shows about successful weight loss. (Shows like "The Biggest Loser" or "I Can Make You Thin").

• To reinforce the hypnotherapy, you can suggest a magazine to your client, (Topics such as weddings, health, nutrition, fitness, etc.).

• Suggest that your client join support groups (online or in person). Websites like Meetup.com are great for finding people with similar interests and goals.

Client results, in terms of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional shifts, can range from disappointing to spectacular. One of the contingencies for success, is the client’s internal level of involvement in the process. Knowing how to engage and encourage this critical factor (pun intended) rests in the hands of the hypnotherapist. The clients internal thought process is out of our control, and being skilled in your approach isn’t enough if the client remains dissociated from the process.

Occasionally, a client go through the standard process and experience average results, only to admit to you later, that there is content they have been avoiding. Sometimes you can see this situation coming a mile away, sometimes you can’t. This is why rapport is so important, as it encourages your client to feel safe enough to reveal what bubbles up, and follow your lead. But talking about rapport is not the only key to success when setting the stage for optimal client involvement.
