In this December 2009 Edition:
Grant's News & Comments.
Hey it's December already!  That means two things: It's Christmas in 3 weeks - and I'll be 55 even sooner! How the year and years fly when you're having fun! Seasons greetings to one and all - and thanks to all those who have already wished me and my family well for the festive season.
~~~~~~~~~~
The 2010 course dates are all set now, so please see below for the full schedule of courses from Hypnosis New Zealand - including the brand new Advanced Diploma Hypnotherapy course, that will be run at least twice next year.
~~~~~~~~~~
The NZAPH training day held in Christchurch recently was a great success, with many NZAPH members and many HNZ students attending the informative day.  It was great to re-meet people that have attended my past courses and finally meet those I've previously only had contact with by phone or email.
~~~~~~~~~~
Please enjoy the content of this HYPNOTES - and let me know of any news or events for the next edition - the first for 2010!
Christmas has gone to the Dogs!

Seasons Greetings
(from Kevin Raines in Christchurch, NZ)
I wish you good health, positive thoughts, happiness and prosperity throughout the Christmas season and the New Year. I will look forward to seeing you in 2010. My new clinic in Wigram opens January 18th, 2010 and I will be offering some new exciting and unique sessions for losing weight.

Seasons Greetings

(from Margaret Both in Cairns, Queensland, Australia)
To Grant and Family, and all Hypnotes Readers - Christmas Greetings and Best Wishes for 2010. 
The Time Line of Christmas Past, 
Present and Future.

We all remember the scenes from the classic tale of 'A Christmas Carol', where Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future and we can all remember when our own Christmas pasts were not so great or we were meaner than we could have been but now as our Christmas future rapidly becomes our Christmas Present, I suggest we take the time to ask ourselves what kind of festive period we want and remember that it doesn't have to be about extravagant gifts but it could be about extravagant kindness, rich with fun and laughter. 

That we take the time to give thanks for all that we have had in our year, from our health, our friends and family.  That we, whatever our past thoughts and feelings about Christmas are, that they can be different and that we can see and feel a time of connection to those closest to us and hope that others are feeling the same way too.  That we can give when we can give and receive easily and joyfully.  It is time to do some time-line therapy and change our coming future towards where we want it to be rather than where we expect it be.

All success, happiness, abundance and health to you for Christmas and New Year.

Seasons Greetings

(from Mike Nathan)
Hi Grant. Many thanks for all your emails and information, and Seasons Greetings to yourself and therapists in New Zealand. If possible could you let me know of any meetings in Christchurch in Jan 2010, where I will be staying for 3 weeks.
Seasons Greetings

(from Alpha Hypnosis)
Alpha Hypnosis Training wishes you... A Safe & Happy Christmas and New Year!

At this time of year it’s usual to think of relaxing, and enjoying the company of family and friends over the holidays. It's a great time of year for that, and we hope you enjoy the time of sharing and travel safely. 
Then along comes New Year and New Year resolutions!  What sort of resolutions have you set for yourself in the past? Stop Smoking! Get a new job! Clean out the garage!  Some people go about setting resolutions that they really mean to keep - starting off with good intentions, but more often than not motivation goes out the window, other things intrude, and the goal slips out of reach. It gets put in the too hard basket until another time which somehow never comes. Sound familiar? 
Why not let 2010 be the year that you set and achieve your New Year resolution? Setting a concrete goal for yourself, and a step by step plan to carry it through?  You can help yourself, and ensure you are much more likely to reach your goal, by learning Self Hypnosis, using it to powerfully to set your goal in place, and motivate yourself so to ensure you take each of the necessary steps to reach your goal. 

Alpha Hypnosis Training conducts a self help, one day workshop “Your Master Key to Success”, and also teaches Self Hypnosis & goal setting to individuals. Best of all, once you’ve learnt these skills you can use them to set other goals, and assist yourself in any area of your life. 

Get in touch if you are ready to take the step that will ensure you reach your goals. Contact us on 0800 2 SUCCEED (0800 278 2233) or go to: www.alphahypnosis.co.nz


Seasons Greetings
(from the New Zealand Hypnotherapy Federation Events Team)

As a hypnotherapist, it is always a pleasure to learn from some of the greats in our field. Dr. Stephen Gilligan has been honoured by the Milton Erickson Foundation by receiving the rarely given Lifetime Achievement Award in honour of his many contributions. Steve studied directly with Dr. Milton H. Erickson for many years and is known widely for his neo-Ericksonian approach which incorporates his own work on self-relations.

During Trance Camp, you will experience and learn a variety of skills allowing a new connection to self and personal transformation. Many participants return to Trance Camp year after year to experience not only profound trance, but Steve himself. This is a must-be-at workshop for all hypnotherapists in 2010.

NGH Certification Course 
As a person interested in the Hypnosis field, here is an opportunity to become a certified hypnotist and work with people to improve their lives. The nice part is that it is a 7 day course and then you can set your own schedule and work part or full time. Our students earn from $50-$100 per hour.

The definition of success is :
"WHEN PREPARATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY" 

The sorriest words later in life, for some people are: "The Things I Should Have Done."  In this economy, a supplementary income can help.
