We just got back from the National Guild of Hypnotists Convention!  Wow, I had a great time teaching some hypnosis workshops and visiting with my hypno-friends.  This year was especially great because Celeste was there for the first time.  AND, since I had her there I put her to work!  I’ll tell you more about that later…

First off, let me make a couple of announcements & then I'll talk about a long video for you which should get posted on www.CalBanyan.com tomorrow.

I’ve got two courses coming up:

·         Banyan NGH Super Course, October 6-10 & 13-17, 2008.

·         The Week of Power, November 16-22, 2008.

·         Check our complete course schedule (including the Banyan courses taught by our CPHIs at many different locations) on www.Hypnosis.ORG.

We all had a wonderful time on the Thursday night before the convention at our Annual  5-PATHers Class Reunion and Award Banquet.

I am was also honored this year by the National Guild of Hypnotists by receiving the President’s Award!  Thank you NGH and Dr. Dwight Damon.

Did a whole bunch of secret project stuff – lots of comments about my slimmer bod.  To learn more about how I am becoming slimmer, and how my secret project can add a steady income source to your practice, email me at CalBanyan@HypnosisCenter.com.

Celeste and Kelsey roamed the NGH Convention and got some video!  (See more of Kelsey in podcasts 58 and 59).

Remember to visit www.Hypnosis.ORG to get the good stuff hypnosis professionals want, and to get yourself in our Hypnosis Directory.  Also, remember to get your free account in www.OurHypnoSpace.com where you can get a blog and network with other hypnosis professionals.

Enjoy the video when it is posted on Friday (tomorrow)!  You will see what it is like in the hallways and exhibition area of the NGH convention.  It is a really lively and positive place.  I hope to see you there next year!
