GREETINGS:

Happy Autumn, Hypnotists and Hypnosis Enthusiasts!

We're gearing up for a wonderful series of events at the NGHWA—including an all
new World Hypnotism Day event in January as well as a Hypnosis Conference in
June. Details are percolating, attend our meetings for the latest updates!
This month we have a very exciting speaker for you. Our very own NGHWA Vice
President, Craig Sigl, will offer incredible and success-proven insights into
growing your thriving hypnosis practice. Don't miss it!

Thanks to all of you for your efforts in spreading the word on our chapter of
the NGHWA. Our membership is still growing. Keep it up! Do invite your friends
and interested parties!

As you know, we've had some difficulty with the chapter website, which should be

http://www.nghwa.org for our new format and features. Paid members, if you

KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

This month's speaker is Craig Sigl. His topic will be "Mental Toughness for
Business Success."

This talk will be geared for the hypnotherapist struggling to earn a living and
how to work with business clients who are not achieving their financial goals.

I moved to Seattle on Jan 1st, 2007 to start my full-time hypnosis business. I
had no office, no practice, no network, no contacts and began to build my
practice from scratch. In 2008, I grossed over $100k.

I will take you through the fundamentals of creating your own business success
through destroying your mental blocks and creating mental toughness. Once you do
that, it will allow you and your clients to take advantage of the amazing
opportunities available to you even in today's tough economy. People are still
spending money like water and if you're not getting your share of it, I'm going
to give you keys to open some doors.

I will be covering:
Motivation
Fears
Emotional Mastery
Business Strategy for hypnotherapists
My hypno protocol for business clients

FEATURED ARTICLE:

"Wanting Vs. Having" by Jack Elias

I was particularly struck by the disabling hypnotic power unleashed by the
unwitting imprecise use of language in a family session recently. Each member
sincerely expressed that they wanted peace and even gave a brief explanation of
why they valued it. But they were in my office because they did not have peace
and were constantly fighting.

Wanting vs. Having -- I hear it from almost every client, but hearing it from
all these people at once somehow made it a fresh new phenomenon. This is one way
I like to look at the problem:

1) Our subconscious mind is always listening, especially to what we say to
ourselves over and over. The subconscious mind's intention is to take care of
us, but, sadly, it will follow our insistent commands even if they lead to
suffering.

2) For the conscious mind to want something (an inner quality or state, not a
physical object) like peace, the subconscious mind first has to deny the
conscious mind access to it. This typically has happened long ago in our
childhood.

3) But when the conscious mind notices the quality is absent and thinks, "I want
peace," the subconscious mind notices the conscious mind's interest in wanting
and, in order to accommodate the conscious mind's wanting to want, the
subconscious mind continues to deny access to peace (in this example) so the
conscious mind can keep wanting. (You might want to read this a few times.)

4) When we stop wanting and start acting as if we have it, the subconscious mind
notices our interest in having and stops denying access to the experience of the
inner quality, in this example, peace. The subconscious mind aims to please!!
It knows you have to feel the quality in order to really enjoy the actions that
go with the quality, so it plugs you in!

This game of the mind would be funny if it didn't cause us so much pain. To get
unstuck from the game we must act in accordance with having the quality because
this instructs the subconscious mind to activate the quality -- to give it to
us.

Every time a potentially irritating situation came up for these family
members, they chose to act in hostile ways triggered by irritation, all the
while wanting peace with greater and greater frustration. To have peace, they
have to stop wanting it, and act as if they have peace. A good way to accomplish
this is to ask oneself, "What would I say or do right now if I was perfectly at
peace?"

We have been subtly hypnotized to believe that we can't act contrary to our
feeling state -- we can't act, or even shouldn't, act kindly if we don't feel
kindness. Makes sense to most of us, but it actually puts the cart before the
horse.

The quickest and best way to access an inner quality or feeling state is to
think and act in ways you would if you did have it because that let's your
subconscious mind know you want it!
