Transforming your beliefs for health, performance and success: A review of The Hypnosis Network

Achieving a state of health is more than just a physical or chemical affair; it requires engaging the mind. The mind directly controls our physiology, often in surprising ways such as when a single thought causes us to blush or drool (or both, depending on what you're thinking about). But those are just parlor tricks. A far more practical application of mind-body medicine is found in using the mind to control blood pressure, stress hormones, immune function, healing responses and other measurable markers of health or disease.

Interestingly, your ability to heal yourself, or perform at a high level, or achieve your ambitions, is largely determined by your beliefs. And those beliefs are stored...continue reading »

The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter (Summer 2006 issue) reviewed Sammy the Elephant and Mr. Camel by Joyce Mills, PhD.

"Dr. Mills' CDs come as a set of two—one for children that contains metaphoric trancework to retrieve resources, and the other for parents to use for fostering their own mental health. The format takes into account the fact that any concern affecting a child naturally also affects the entire system, so the second CD addresses parents' needs for managing their stress and emotional reactions to their child's situation. The parents' CD is fairly brief—about 10 minutes long—and contains an induction followed by guided imagery that serves as a "Mini Mind Vacation."

To the untrained listener, the children's CD is just like any other bedtime story one might tell a child, but, those schooled in Ericksonian trancework will quickly come to appreciate...continue reading »

The Milton H. Erickson Foundation Newsletter (Summer 2006 issue) reviewed Shared Couple's Trance by Michele Ritterman, PhD.

"In listening to this couple's tape, I had my first opportunity to sample Dr. Ritterman's work. While she skillfully incorporates the standard Ericksonian techniques into these trances, her wonderful style and approach also are uniquely her own. I enjoyed listening to her CD.

The two tracks can be used one after the other for an essentially healthy couple...continue reading »

Productivity Engineering was "test driven" and reviewed by award winning writer, Nick Usborne.

Here's his take on the program:

"Buy a hypnosis CD program? Will that really help me get more work done? Can it improve my work performance?"

I know, this is a little off the beaten path when compared to the usual courses and services I review. So first, to make real sense of this, let me tell you why I decided to go through and review this program.

I would like to be more productive, consistently

As someone who works from a home office, I am very aware of a huge variation in how productive I am. Some days and weeks I am extremely productive. My work performance is excellent. At the end of each day I'll sit back and wonder how I managed to get so much done.

But for each day or week that I am wildly productive, there are other days and weeks when it feels like I'm trying to run through treacle. I find it almost impossible to fight my way through my work. When I feel like that, it's frustrating, depressing...continue reading »
