The Order of Braid


The Order of Braid is the centerpiece of the National Guild of Hypnotists Awards System
which recognizes a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication and service. While
contributions are varied, our inductees have all enriched the lives of others and made a significant difference to the profession. The Order of Braid is also unique because most of
the inductees have already received many of the top awards though the years.

Council members are charged with two duties: Their opinions are solicited annually for
names of members they feel are worthy recipients for NGH awards, some of which are not
strictly peer-nominated. At our annual convention, they will be available to colleagues as
well-experienced professionals to share their knowledge.

The Order of Braid is by invitationi.e: nomination by the Board of Governors or Council members. The Board
of Governors is composed of NGH charter members, or those who have been Guild members for at least four
decades. Eventually this will change as the last of the current Old Guard shuffles off this mortal coil and Council
members are chosen to replace them.
The NGH Order of Braid is therefore established to draw from the best and brightest hypnotists in our profession.

SOLUTIONS TO DAILY STRESS
HON. STEVE STOCKMAN

OF TEXAS IN THE HOUSE OF


REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, December 11, 2014

Mr. STOCKMAN. Mr. Speaker, hypnosis may be a useful tool in the field of mental
and physical health as well as combatting against those who wish to kick the habit of
smoking and substance abuse.

DSK67QTVN1PROD with REMARKS
December 12, 2014 CONGRESSIONAL RECORDExtensions of Remarks E1803
FoxNews Health recently published a column noting the effectiveness of hypnosis
as therapy for anxiety, stress, wherein it noted that Hypnosis was birthed from the
brains of psychologists and researchers, and . . . its now making its way back into
the mainstream.
It recommended the National Guild of Hypnotists (the NGH) as one of two national
organizations from which to seek referrals.
The following is a news report profiling ..the organization.

MERRIMACK, NH (MarketwiredJan. 21, 2014)


Change is stressful, even when change comes in the form of
beneficial technology and social transformation. Too often,
the stress of change manifests as overeating and obesity,
smoking, substance abuse, aggression and other negative
behaviors. Millions are searching for a non-pharmaceutical
solution that is effective, long lasting and causes no side
effects. The National Guild of Hypnotists has demonstrated
through its longevity and documented results that hypnosis
provides proven alternatives for reducing and eliminating
many of the negative responses to todays stressful world.
The National Guild of Hypnotists, NGH, is the oldest, largest
and most respected professional association of hypnotists in
the world.
The National Guild of Hypnotists, under the leadership of Dr.
Dwight Damon, has been instrumental in raising conscious
awareness of consulting hypnotism as a separate and distinct
profession. Hypnosis now is recognized in the medical and
scientific mainstream and its use and acceptance continue to
grow. Founded in Boston in 1950 and now based in
Merrimack, NH, with over 14,000 members worldwide, the
National Guild of Hypnotists includes trained, certified hypnotists, doctors, dentists and other health professionals and
educators from many fields. An international organization
serving members in 80 countries, the National Guild of
Hypnotists established a strong universal code of ethics for

the profession. In 1994, the National Guild of Hypnotists


chartered the rapidly growing National Federation of
Hypnotists, Local 104, a Union affiliated with the OPEIU,
AFLCIO, CLC. Those knowledgeable of non-clinical hypnosis universally acknowledge Dr. Damon as The Father
of Consulting Hypnotism as a Separate and Distinct
Profession.
The National Guild of Hypnotists established and maintains
a rigorous certification program based on a standardized
curriculum. Annually, the National Guild of Hypnotists
conducts educational seminars around the country and an
international convention and educational conference,
held in Marlborough, MA, that attracts over a thousand
hypnotists.
Under the guidance of Convention Director Elsom
Eldridge Jr., the convention is the leading and largest venue
for the sharing of best practices within the profession. Each
years convention provides a platform for teaching
advanced hypnotic techniques and sharing new information
and practical developments from leading members of the
profession and legislative and legal updates. The most prestigious awards in the profession are presented during the
event. The adjunct faculty, recruited from around the world,
provides a distinguished nexus for what Dr. Damon
describes as, an open forum for a free exchange of ideas
concerning hypnotism.
Dr. Damon says, As members of the National Guild of
Hypnotists, we have accepted the invitation and have risen
to the challenge that the actions we have taken over the
years, lay the groundwork for our profession to soar beyond
all that has been accomplished and even beyond all we can
conceive. We rise to the invitation to leave a legacy of
excellence.
Respectful of licensed health care professionals, the
National Guild of Hypnotists encourages its members to
make their services widely available as a complementary
adjunct to medical, dental and other licensed health professions. The organizations vision is of a time when a visit to
a Consulting Hypnotist will be as routine as a trip to the
dentist. Consistent efforts by the National Guild of
Hypnotists in fostering professionalism has been the decisive factor in bringing about the recognition of hypnosis as
a separate and distinct profession. The non-profit association publishes The Journal of Hypnotism and the HypnoGram quarterly, as informative publications for practitioners and recently introduced Hypnosis Today, an annual
magazine created for all readers.

Mental Distortions
Larissa Brazier, CH

Wouldnt it be nice to start every day of the conference taking


part in a guided hypnosis session? Enhance your learning in
the seminars and workshops by accepting suggestions for positive experiences. Start the day with vibrant energy. Experiential

Social media has many benefits to a lot of people, however it


can effect us all in negative ways as well. Often times, the
viewing of this material can cause someone to want the lives of
other people they do not even know, which may manifest into
feelings of sadness and a lack of joy. Although Social Media
was created to bring us closer together, it has in fact lessened
communication and created jealousy in many areas.
Researchers from the University of Michigan assessed
Facebook usage and found that the more people that used it,
the more negativity they experienced concerning their day-today activities; as well as over time, incurring higher levels of
dissatisfaction with their life overall.

With The Subtle Energy Body
Marcel Klasen, BCH, CI

Chakras are energy centers that run up the spine to the crown
of the head, linking our electromagnetic body to the physical
body. Through intuitive perception we can learn to sense the
subtle information of a person on a spiritual, emotional and
physical level. By using a specific hypnotic technique, you can
receive thoughts, ideas and insights from outside your own
frame of reference using the chakra system as a framework.
Accurately interpreting a clients energy flow can be the missing link to helping a client transform his/her life.

TO CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE INDUCTION
Listen To What They Are Not Saying
Larry Garrett, CH

Pre-talks in my opinion are the strongest part of the hypnosis


session as they give us many clues to how we will assist our
client to achieve their goal. After we are finished with our pretalk, we can now use the skills of what hypnosis is really about,
the induction! What induction we may use will be determined
by the pre-talk. The more we have learned of the client and
their goals during the pre-talk, the greater success we will
have.

understand how each type reacts when
they are stressed and what they are likely to find stressful
Learn the Best Modes and the Stress
Mode of each of the Personality Types
and basic strategies for helping each of
them shift From Stressed To Best

A lecture designed to provide deeper


insight into the four main aspects of
Personality Type including how they
respond to people, situations and suggestions and how the consulting hypnotist
can use this information. We have developed a system for using Personality Type
to help our clients better understand how
their subconscious minds are hard-wired
and how this creates predictable and
reversible stressors in their lives. Direct
suggestions can then be formulated in a
way that works with the clients natural
strengths. As hypnotists we deal with
people who consciously want to change
but are hindered by the old programming
in their subconscious minds. We found
that these patterns are consistent for people of the same Personality Type. We
then use this information to develop suggestions that are aligned with the
Personality Type which, when combined
with hypnosis, helps people effectively
achieve their goals.

Interestingly, this modality can induce trance and in a sense
requires trance. It can be used as part of the arsenal of excellent tools a good hypnotist can use to prove to clients the reality of change work.

compared to other standard inductions
and in this workshop, learn to shorten it
even more; giving more time for transformational techniques in the session.

mental, and spiritual well-being. Our vibration determines
what and who we attract. If we want to attract positive energy,

(33092) PRACTICAL HYPNOSIS


FOR THE ELDERLYClinical
Techniques Of Hypnosis In
Geriatrics
Maurice Kershaw, FNGH, BCH, OB

The senior citizen population in the US,


Canada and throughout the world is rapidly increasing, year after year. Seniors
can be guided to cope with aging problems physically, intellectually and emotionally and while doing so, can hope to
add comfortable, rewarding years to
their extended life. In this workshop, we
will look at some hypnosis-oriented
techniques for the geriatric client. Group
sessions and individual strategies will be
covered in a number of problems and
settings relevant to the senior citizen.
These will include activity and exercise,
sleeping soundly, handling stress, aggravation and loneliness, anxiety, pain
relief, sexuality and self-image. Your
knowledge of hypnosis will tell you that
very specialized techniques and understandings of the senior client are essential in treating the older citizen.

(122) 6 KEYS TO WINNING
SPORTS CERTIFICATION

with Laura Boynton King, BCH, CI


One of the more frequent challenges faced by
all athletes is how to improve their performance. They express frustrations that they
often possess identical - if not superior physical attributes to their competitors, yet
theyre consistently being outperformed by
that competitor. In many cases, the problem
is rooted in self-doubt, which limits their levels of performance. Using hypnosis and
Neuro-Linguistic Programming, the client
will learn how to identify and accept selfdoubt. Once this is achieved, the client can
stop dwelling on past failures and other negative feelings and images through hypnosis
techniques, positive imagery, concentrationfocusing skills. Whether the athlete feels held
back by physical fear or by negative comments from competitors, trainers or officials/
judges or by performance anxiety, the 6 Keys
to Winning Professional Certification will
help the hypnotist to help their clients replace
a losing mentality with the winning edge.

Important Information to Help You Enjoy and Profit


From the Annual Convention

The National Guild of Hypnotists, Inc. is proud that during the past twenty-six years we have provided publications, seminars,
and workshops which appeal to a wide range of professionals. In addition to those members who are the backbone of our own
profession, certified hypnotists, our membership now includes licensed health professionals from most of the major disciplines.
Many physicians, dentists, chiropractors, osteopaths, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other professionals who have
become aware of the efficacy of hypnosis have found that the Guild provides a wonderful resource for them to tap into for more
information and continuing education, and we are happy to see that they are becoming regulars at our continuing education
events.
Therefore, the program that we provide at our annual convention and educational conference has to adequately meet the needs
of our profession, but also those with advanced degrees in other fields as well.
Each year, as you read through the seminar/workshop titles and descriptions, you will find topics that are more appropriate for
use by licensed health professionals or those with advanced degrees. Does this mean that you cannot or should not attend?
Absolutely notbecause in the future you might be called on to lend your expertise to cases which require the attention of a
licensed health professional who does not have your hypnotic knowledge or skill.

With 301 Sessions to choose from, it may seem like an overwhelming task to pick the sessions that are
right for you. Here is one way that will help you make that process a simple and beneficial one.
