I'm just going to make a quick post to let you all know that right now I am in Mazatlan, Mexico. 

Everyone here is very interested in learning more about hypnosis once they find out that I am a hypnotist.  In fact, I have had several requests for hypnosis sessions!  But, I am disappointing them all.  I don't conduct hypnosis sessions when I am on vacation.  It would be fun to come back some time and offer a hypnosis certification course here or some other beautiful place in Mexico.

Well, that is it for now.  I hope all of my American friends had a great Thanksgiving Day celebration with family and friends!

Man oh man, this has been one busy week at the Banyan Hypnosis Center!  We have all been working on getting a new video course out.  It is HUGE, including 20 DVDs.  You will hear more about that later.  :-)

Well, it is Friday – and- yes, I'm celebrating!!!  And, as usual that means we are posting a new episode of the Banyan, Hypnosis, Etc. Program, with the lovely and knowledgeable Celeste Hackett.  We had a lot of fun with this one.  Here are some of the things we discuss on this episode:

·         I continue to answer the question from the previous episode regarding what psychologists think about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. 

·         Find out why Psychologists are the "lay hypnotists" when it comes to hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

·         Psychologists admit that they have given up on getting rid of professional hypnotists (aka: Consulting Hypnotists).

·         Learn where there is room for hypnotists and hypnotherapists to work with medical professionals.

If the new video is not up by the time you get this, check back after 6PM Pacific Time (USA).

That is it.  Have fun!
