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.

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.

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.

Lecture/Q&A
Introductory
From our cave days to the sleep temples of the ancient Greeks,
Egyptians, Romans and Hebrews, people seeking relief from
various psychological ailments have benefited from trance created by flickering light and percussive beats. Since the 1920s,
simple yet cumbersome machines took these effects to a new
level, but todays technologies allow pocket-sized devices to
fine tune our brains like never before. They can be a great addition to a hypnotists practice for the aforementioned issues. By
attending this seminar, you will better understand the value of
this technology and how it helps stressed or focus challenged

(11033) IDEOMOTOR MEMORY SEARCH
TECHNIQUE
Marx Howell, BS
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.

For our profession, the union really amounts to connections and clout. How many of our consulting hypnotists can walk
into the offices of lawmakers in our states or provinces and be on a first name basis with the majority of elected representatives? Professional lobbyists can. In the 19 years that we have had our union connection, OPEIU and the AFL/CIO have
come to our rescue numerous times because of this ability.
With all of this in mind, weve looked at member union benefits that will help each of us personally, such as the $2000
accident and life insurance ($4000 if both occur), identity theft protection, emergency roadside services, and 42 other perks

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.
