HYPNOSIS - HYPNOTHERAPY
• UPDATE - BLOG - •

To one and All...
from
Ed and Cheryl Martin

Alabama Hypnosis Clinic

We certainly want to wish all a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

As many of you know, colors effect mood. Mass consciousness is now accepting this to be true. A recent article in The Birmingham News is advising people to decorate with more Green than Red this year. With all the changes taking place in the world now, this national Associated Press write-up advised to steer clear from lots of red to make it more peaceful through the Holiday Season. This is good advice.

Former Hypnosis Students Now Practice What They Preach

We have been very lucky to hear from several of our former students this month. If you need some beautiful semi-precious stone necklaces for gifts, Rose Dawn is now creating one-of-a-kind necklaces. Click HERE to view her website. Each necklace is unique with spiritual blessings thrown in to assist your life. Ute Carson has again written another recently published work. It is a wonderful Christmas story to enjoy. Click HERE to read Ute’s Christmas story which is a memory directly from her childhood.

One of the children (at the time) who volunteered to be a subject for a children’s class several years ago is now a heroic soldier . His Dad, Larry Beier, was a student in our class and brought his teenage son to be a demonstration subject in that series of classes. Josh Beier is now a soldier in Iraq and his picture shows local children being drawn to him. Josh has exceptional courage and we ask that each of you pray for his well-being. He is one of the young group who exemplifies “And the little child shall lead them”.

Click HERE to experience the courage of this group of young people coming in with their vision to assist the world. Another of our friends sent us a video of some more of this exceptional group of youngsters. This group is comprised of 2 children six years old, 2 children seven years old, and one who is 8 years old . Click HERE to download, watch and listen to the exceptional job they do of singing the National Anthem.

A former Navy Pilot who became a professional airline pilot with Continental Airlines and his wife recently contacted us. She is a former client who became one of our hypnosis graduates. He also took our classes before they moved to Florida after both retired from Continental Airlines. They have great news: Diane and Roger Neumann will be moving from Florida to Puerto Rico. Roger has been offered a job flying in Puerto Rico. After this stint, they are going to build a dream home in Panama. Diane grows Orchids and the largest Orchid farm in the world will be close by. They are happy hypnotists modeling a happy retirement!

We also heard from Mary Lou and Dave Pittman who are offering a great deal at their relaxing Spa in the Woodlands. This would make a great gift for a deserving loved one. Click HERE to view their offer.

With all of the great contacts, we also heard that one of my former clients who became a student of ours also, is closing shop. Years ago, Paulette Dominiak came to me to stop smoking. She and her husband had just been through a very traumatic time. She had overcome debilitating illness and he had come close to being killed in a Phillips Petroleum explosion in Houston. Both of them had survived and Paulette was ready to get a healthier lifestyle going for herself and came for the stop smoking sessions . She also wanted to work on her creativity. Because she was such an excellent subject, we used part of her hour follow-up for stopping smoking to work on her creativity. After that she was off and running and she, with her husband, developed one of the best stress relief centers in the Houston area. I began to hear about Enola with people asking me if I knew Enola. It never dawned on me that Enola was Paulette until Enola enrolled in our classes and in walks Paulette. What a grand reunion we had! This center has taught many, helped relieve stress for many, and been an inspiration for many in the Houston area for eight years. Hopefully, Enola and her husband are going to do some fun things as a couple before heading out for the next creation. We wish them The BEST.

For those worried about the PATH Foundation training classes at the Texas Hypnosis Institute, the classes are in a separate facility in Old Town Spring Texas located behind Enola’s facility and they will continue. Enola and her husband were pivotal in assisting those classes in getting started with his painting the teaching facility and Enola promoting the classes. All involved, are grateful for their help and wish them well.

The Dominiaks took on a major challenge in working together to assist others as a group. Often, this type scenario also provides an opportunity for those with unresolved parental issues to align with their favorite parent. Those who have their Dad on a pedestal have the surrogate representative right "up there." Those who hate their mother have the surrogate B-Word to defame. And, there are others who hate the Dad and love the Mom. Then, of course, there are those who just love to watch their flirtations possibly cause disruption within a relationship. This can happen on both sides.

Anyway, the Universe has saved both Dominiaks from harms way in the past. Hopefully, both will experience some fun and bountiful supply to repay them for what they have brought into other's lives. What we put into the lives of others certainly is returned, and they deserve the return at least as equal, but, hopefully, multiplied right back to them.

As stated earlier, the stress-reduction center that the Dominiak's created also provided education, assisted in stress reduction, and had wonderful products for those who shopped in Old Towne Spring. The Texas Hypnosis Institute's franchised training progam was also a process that they assisted emotionally.

Hypnosis Training materials are Key to success

We have seen other hypnosis trainers struggle with teaching material they have put together, or other's material, and two years later they are still waiting for students to show up. Reason: the material can not be taught in the format given out as class information. In other words, it is just in the head of the one coming up with the information. Other programs are such that the material can be read or studied, but it cannot be put into practice. On our website are just a few of the former students who have benefited from the PATH Foundation Texas Hypnosis Institutes' franchised instruction. They all scored well on the certification test of the years training material, and they easily get out there and put it into practice after their years training. They are Helping others with Hypnosis.

The hypnosis students all have a clear protocol to follow with the PATH Foundation materials. Their practice protocol, and the homework assignments are in understandable form. They also have professional guidance to answer their questions. It works. Lots of our creative energy and years of effort were spent putting it together, teaching it with appropriate revisions for what works and does not work, as well as lots of money and energy copyrighting, trademarking and protecting it.

Of course, the franchise instructor was pivotal in presenting the information to others. These classes started in the Northern area of Houston. We had so many wonderful former students who had the personality, intellect, and integrity to teach this material. When we decided to leave Houston, the one who had approached us several times immediately came to mind since we were at that time wanting a motivated party who we felt could work with both of us without rabblerousing. And it has worked well, with all of us determining when students who complete the classes are prepared to enter a practice.

Houston is large enough to accomodate classes in the South territory also. Look the website classes over, and if you feel that teaching the material to others would be a committed long-term goal of yours, please contact us by email. In the Summer of 2009 we are looking at this possibility. We want to hear from you. Remember the metaphor about the Sqeeky Wheel: We have grease.

Those worried about Pat Rickard, who was also affiliated with Enola, and whether she will still be available with her diverse expertise, we want you to know that she will be setting up her office elsewhere. Click onto Weight Loss stories and Pat’s specific story to get her email address. She is quick to answer all emails and will give you directions to get to her. It will be worth traveling to find her because of her personality similar to what we showed with Dolly Parton last month.

Communicating without words
(Body Language)

Several sent funny emails about why they would go to Dolly Parton for help. Remember, she is in the entertainment business and dresses accordingly. We were emphasing her personality and demeanor only. We know all our former students dress professionally and act from integrity (as does Dolly). She is great as a lone wolf leader. This picture will show that:

1. She is innovative

2. Obviously competitive

3. May not play well with others if they think about encroaching as she has shown by her winding up with something to show for her long years of effort. She does not play well with encroachers.

This is a great picture which speaks volumes about observing your world and the symbols which present themselves. Actions can speak louder than words, and it is wise to watch the actions of others. Their actions show how they really feel about you even if their mouths are spewing ego strokes a mile a minute.

Personal Mandalas and other symbols

As promised, we have more mandalas to add to the mandala site. There will be three added this month and three more added next month. Click HERE to view the mandalas with interpretation.

Mandalas are symbols which the conscious mind will not filter. If you can interpret through a formula-type technique, you will know a year cycle coming up for you. This can be speeded up by getting the lesson and moving forward.

Other symbols will speak to you in your world also. I see a particular truck at least five times per week. I know some energy connected to a certain person will manifest in the year 2009. Also, remember I have specific symbols which give me information also. I was wondering about the specific origin of some energy recently. I got out, looked at the house next door to the house I was visiting, and saw a symbol which represented the life of a specific person. I knew immediately where the energy origination started. With that information, the energy can be directed back to the sender as fast as the "Quickening" Mandala--light speed. For that reason, understanding mandalas and symbology in your world is beneficial. By allowing us to view their mandalas, we can experience any unhealed subconscious areas of our lives and integrate their positive energy with it.

We hope all have a Safe, Happy, and Bountiful Christmas.

Have a Wonder-filled Life,

Cheryl W. Martin
