It was always inevitable, but thanks to the power of positive suggestion from Hypnotherapists attending my recent Advanced Hypnotherapy course, Hypnosis New Zealand has now adopted a brand new membership structure! Hypnosis New Zealand will now be focusing more on supporting its hundreds of students and members who have supported Hypnosis New Zealand by choosing to training with us. The new structure will provide many of the benefits of belonging to a typical association, minus the ongoing fees and bureaucracy.

Mission Statement for the New Structure:
Hypnosis New Zealand membership acknowledges and rewards the expertise and loyalty of those who have studied and excelled in its Hypnotherapy training courses as well as in service to the public as a competent and dedicated Hypnotherapist.

How it Works:
When you first enroll in a Hypnosis New Zealand Hypnotherapy training course, you become a "student". Then when you pass the examination requirements related to your initial (and any subsequent) HNZ Hypnotherapy course; as well as attaining a Hypnosis New Zealand Certificate, Diploma, or Advanced Diploma; you will also be automatically rewarded with an upgraded level of membership. Membership has 3 different levels and is awarded automatically on the passing of each examination.

Student & Membership Levels:

Student - One who is currently completing a Hypnosis New Zealand course.
Member (MHNZ) - One who has studied, completed and passed the two examinations of the Hypnosis New Zealand home study Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy Course. (IE: A MHNZ will hold the Hypnosis New Zealand Certificate of Hypnotherapy.)
Professional Member (PMHNZ) - One who has attended, completed and passed the examination of either the Hypnosis New Zealand five day Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy Course or the Hypnosis New Zealand five day Advanced Hypnotherapy Course. (IE: A PMHNZ will hold either the Hypnosis New Zealand Diploma of Hypnotherapy or the Hypnosis New Zealand Diploma of Advanced Hypnotherapy.)
Senior Professional Member (SPMHNZ) - One who has attended, completed and passed the examination of both the Hypnosis New Zealand five day Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy Course and the Hypnosis New Zealand five day Advanced Hypnotherapy Course. (IE: A SPMHNZ will hold both the Hypnosis New Zealand Diploma of Hypnotherapy and the Hypnosis New Zealand Diploma of Advanced Hypnotherapy.)

Ongoing Support and Information:
The hundreds of current Hypnosis New Zealand students (those currently studying) and members (those who've passed examinations) can now login to a brand new Members Only Webpage for support and information. The list of assists is ever growing and currently includes: The Peer Support Network, the Chatroom, the forum and the scripts library. Also on this private Members Only Webpage there is a sample of your new Membership Certificate that you can request a download of. If you are a current HNZ student or member then you should already have had your user name and password arrive by email. If you missed it, please contact me and I'll resend it to you.

Free Enhanced Advertising on the Hypnotherapist's Directory
All advertising in the HYPNOTES and the HNZ Directory of NZ Hypnotherapists will remain free for every Hypnotherapist in NZ, but HNZ Members' listings in the directory have now been greatly enhanced by the addition of text colour.

The Future:
Who knows what will eventuate, but if it's possible, useful and makes good business sense; then it'll likely be adopted!

Hypnosis and NLP for Sports Injuries (Part 1)
(Part 2 in next month's HYPNOTES)
By Adrian Metcalfe BSc(Hons), MSc
Hypnosis Trainer, NLP Trainer and Consultant,
Diploma in Sports Therapy, former NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
www.sportshypnosis.co.nz

There is a steadily growing interest in the use of hypnosis and NLP in sport. They’re mostly known for improving sport performance, with much less emphasis on their applications for treating sports injuries. This article is about applications of NLP and hypnosis for the treatment of sports injuries. Describing applications across the full range of the sports injury management process (prevention, acute, post acute, rehabilitation, return to sport) would make this article many pages long. Instead I’ve decided to mention just a few approaches, and to split this article into two for easier reading.

Part 1 - Self Hypnosis Training
Training athletes in skills that they can use themselves is one of the first aspects to consider. A combination of self hypnosis training and guidelines for good positive imagery benefit the athlete at a variety of different ‘levels’:
• Using these tools gives the athlete a sense of being in control – in psychology terms, the “locus of control” returns. The sense of control improves motivation and adherence to rehabilitation protocols.
• Self-hypnosis can be used to create profound relaxation. This releases tension and creates an overall feeling of well-being, giving the healing processes the best chance to work.
• I invite athletes to use imagery of specific healing processes at work. For example, we can visualise the muscle fibres connecting back together; scar tissue dissolving and de-tensioning; muscles growing as a result of training; fluid flowing out of a swollen joint space; and so on. A good knowledge of human anatomy and physiology is quite useful here, so you can educate the athlete on appropriate imagery.
• I also have them visualise themselves having successfully returned to sport, brimming with confidence and skill. To aid the retention of sport specific skills, we also add the details of either individual or team plays. Naturally this is done from a variety of perceptual positions (eg associated and dissociated, or ‘internal’ and ‘external’ imagery in sport psychology terms), incorporating as many senses as possible (eg NLP 4-tuple).

In my experience, athletes prefer a more rapid form of self hypnosis, so I tend to teach them techniques that induce trance quickly. During the self hypnosis training I provide a post hypnotic suggestion that they’ll return to the hypnotic state rapidly and comfortably, on a cue of their choice. The less time they spend inducing their trance state, the more time available to use appropriate positive imagery.
In part 2, I’ll mention a few examples of pain control at work in sport, plus a few other possibilities of using hypnosis and NLP in sports injuries contexts.

For more about the applications of hypnosis and NLP in sport, see my website: www.sportshypnosis.co.nz

Are you interested in collaborating with other hypnotherapists, hypnotists and NLP practitioners who have good experience in the sports environment? I’d like to create a peer group of experienced NLP practitioners and hypnotherapists who use these tools primarily in sport. I’d like to develop our combined expertise through workshops, studying case examples, and more. Please contact me at: adrian@strengthofmind.co.nz or call on (03) 327 4125.

Try Virtual Coaching!
It does not matter where you are, if you can put your challenge or dream into words, then I can help you with it.

Fast, effective and anywhere in the world.

Skype me for Rapid Inspired Change. It works!

Testimonial Success!
"Twelve days into an intense 14 day study and revision program, my brain completely seized. My revision notes made no sense, my recall was zero and the words in the text book no longer had any meaning. Not for the first time - fear of failure was in the process of reinforcing fear of failure.

In panic I googled hypnotherapy thinking maybe it could remove the block. Aaron's phone was the first that answered with a real live person. He listened respectfully, heard my desperation and within 15 minutes gave me a way through my panic. The next two days of study were amazingly positive. I actually enjoyed my exam and look forward to the results I worked hard and hoped for. I have made an appointment to continue with Aaron for support to achieve further goals." Judi. Auckland. NZ

Hypnosummit is Back and Here to Help
from Scott Sandland

The Next HypnoSummit is September 25th.

We are making a few big changes to the world's only online hypnosis conference. The first change is switching each of our speakers from a one hour lecture to two hour workshops. This way they can get deeper into the content
and answer more of your questions.

In addition to that, this HypnoSummit will focus on helping you thrive in spite of economic uncertainty and volatility. Not every hypnotherapist is hurting financially. A number of practitioners have practices that are thriving even in these uncertain times. We've invited them to share their secrets with you.

There will be two tracks. Track One will be all about practical practice building. Not just your same old advertising tips and press releases but new ways to expand your business. New and emerging markets for hypnotherapy and NLP services. Track Two will focus on hypnosis and NLP techniques. More tools in your toolbox equates to more clients you are able to assist and more services you can offer your existing clients. Both tracks bring you up and coming speakers who have demonstrated proficiency in exactly what you need to know to expand your business and add dollars to your bottom line. Click here to see the list of speakers and
topics.

We again invite you to sign up early by offering the entire 24 hours of exciting lectures for only $75. But, you must take advantage of this and sign up NOW until midnight Sunday, August 15th. On Monday morning, Aug. 16th the price for the HypnoSummit goes to $85. It will remain there until Sept. 10th. Late registration, after Sept. 10th, will be $95. That's still a steal for 24 hours of CEU's. Implementing just one of the ideas these speakers share with attendees can earn you 10 times the cost of the HypnoSummit in no time. You cant afford to miss this one!

If you are even remotely interested in becoming a professional hypnotist or have been in private practice for decades, I promise there will be new information here that you haven't ever seen.

See you there, Scott

Four Speakers - Four One Off Opportunities in 2010

Stephanie Burns

Learning to Learn - An Introduction
Fri Sept 17th Manly Sydney Australia

We will have a limited number of seats available for a small group to share a half day with Stephanie.

Learning To Learn was conducted throughout Australia and New Zealand for 7 years, ending in 1994. In the fifteen years since the world has continued to accelerate along a course of increasing demand for effective strategies for managing information specifically, and for learning generally.

During these past 15 years Dr Stephanie Burns has continued to study the phenomenon of adult learning and information processing. There has been an explosion of scientific advances in the areas of adult learning and there is more demand on adults to learn quickly and effectively. It is time to make available this new work.

This is a rare opportunity. Stephanie's only other scheduled Australian engagement for 2010 is in Melbourne. (see below)

$297 per person.
You can pay by credit card, cash or cheque

Stephanie Burns
Learning to Learn
Melbourne

What you will learn:

A three to four times increase in your reading speed with full comprehension
A significantly enhanced ability to locate relevant information
The ability to discern good information and bad information
The skills to retain information and to then recall and apply that information on demand
Specific memory skills for vocabulary, foreign language, facts and general information
The means to take notes that are purposeful and useful
How to change your perception of time, and to use time more effectively
To make learning effortless, almost incidental
To determine when a course, on-line program or book is the cause of learning difficulties and what to do about it
A greater understanding of the adult brain and nervous system for learning and why it is that adults learn (can learn) so much faster and better than children
How to enhance physical coordination, balance and flexibility
To replace learning difficulties you may have experienced in the past with new, effective strategies
Improved general study strategies
Control over your brain for concentrated efforts

How to apply all these strategies to your own personal and professional learning goals
Dr Burns has revisited and revised each piece of Learning To Learn content for this new program to include our latest understanding of the brain, body and learning. Although Stephanie has chosen to retain the activities of reading, memory, note-taking and physical skill development, there are no less than 50 new distinctions being embedded in the new program.

Dr Rob McNeilly

Solution Oriented Approaches
Sat 4 - Sun 5 Sept 2010, Start time: 9.30am Finish: 5.00pm
Manly Sydney Australia

This workshop is taught by Dr. Rob McNeilly, himself a student of the late Milton Erickson. The solution oriented approach focuses on solutions right from the beginning. While the problem is always acknowledged, we encourage the discovery of what will be most useful for the student or their clients to move respectfully towards a beneficial outcome.

This is achieved through a rigorous attention to language skills that encourage gentle but profoundly useful changes in our ability to observe, communicate and move the therapeutic conversation towards solutions.

Learning is emphasised rather than pathological classification and treatment. Clients are assumed to be capable and resourceful, adding to clinical effectiveness with personal and professional satisfaction.

This workshop will be of interest to all practitioners and coaches who value client centred approaches to working with human beings.

Investment
$995 per person.
Practicing therapist - just $495

Keith Banfield

How to boost your income to $2500 per day as a hypnotherapist, without wasting money on marketing that doesn't work!�
Monday 4th October 2010
Manly Sydney Australia

Are you good at getting results with clients but sick and tired of not having enough business? Perhaps you are missing out on the lucrative corporate market, or working hard rather than smart.

If you can relate to what I am saying, how much are you losing in wasted time, lost profits and missed opportunities? There is a simple solution though, let me explain...

Getting the business you want

Join us on a business-transforming, one-day marketing course for hypnotherapists in Australia.
Here, you'll learn all the skills needed to transform your hypnotherapy business from ticking over or getting by, to being profitable and generating the types and volumes of clients you really want.
Not only that but you will discover how to ensure clients turn up and get a tried, tested and proven blueprint of what to say when they arrive.

Keith Banfield spent 12 years working as a hypnotherapist and whilst living in the UK was a Member of the National Council of Hypnotherapists. He is also a Professional Speaker and Managing Director of training company, Plus Results.

Over 38,000 copies of his hypnotic audio programme, "Let go of Tension"� were distributed back in 1994 and in 2201 Keith wrote a further 5 hypnotic CD titles which were recorded by a famous TV Doctor. This resulted in residual income from worldwide sales over the next 7 years!

Keith has also worked with many small and large companies in Australia over the past 6 years including the QLD Government.
