Blog by Jeff, this is a pretty cool blog with lots of interesting documents intermixed in. It might appeal more to the "conversational hypnosis" or "persuasion" crowd rather than the clinical hypnotist, though.

You can't get more straightforward of a book title than the title of this book. It's a 2008 reprint of a booklet originally published in 1988, and apparently it was a free handout at the author's Mind Sight and Perception Research Center in Washington State. (The author, Lloyd Hopkins, died in 1994, and his center is no longer in operation, but his work seems to have inspired others to continue his explorations, including author Sean McNamara in his book "Mind Sight" I believe he is also giving workshops). Hopkins' center seems to have been in operation from 1970 to 1988, and produced a ..read more

The Controversy:
The Body Mass Index is a common graph used for determining what a patient’s “normal” weight should be, based on their weight and height. Nevertheless, some have claimed it to be outdated, unscientific, inaccurate and even racist. Yet many doctors and weight loss authorities still use it and feel it is reliable. What is it and is it accurate?
I recently had a visit with my new doctor. Some people dread going to the doctor, but I’ve always looked forward to it. I’m generally in pretty good shape. I used to be an athlete, and I still try to keep in pretty good shape ..read more

When I took classes like this on college, textbooks were a source of dread. They were heavy, expensive, boring, and for ..read more

So many people are curious about self hypnosis that I figured I'd put down some of the things I always tell people, and I hope I cover all the basic questions that you have. If there's more you'd like to know, please comment or email me.
If you've ever been formally hypnotized, self-hypnosis is just a matter of reaching that same mental state by yourself. Easy! But if you've never been formally hypnotized, you might not have a clear idea of exactly what hypnosis is, so the first thing we should do is get clear on what hypnosis is.
