June NGHWA Newsletter

Hello fellow NGHers, and others reading this,

Welcome to June and another month of news from the local
state chapter of the National Guild of Hypnotists.

Even if you are tired of hearing this from me, really, I
must say it again---we had another great speaker last
month, Bal Simon, who was able to fill in for our
scheduled speaker who was unable to make it. Bal gave us
lots of tips about making our own website, where to host
it, and so much more. We were very fortunate to have his
expertise avaiable to us. John Gore, our VP, was
instrumental in securing Bal as a speaker for us at the
last minute. Thank you, John.

Speaking of John, you can not, I repeat, can not miss this
next meeting on this Friday, June 9th. John, who does Stage
Hypnosis as well as private practice hypnotherapy, will be
demonstrating a show for us, along with answering all our
questions about this fun art of Stage Hypnosis. Come see,
and maybe even be a part of the show, this very talented
man show us all the ins and outs of the profession of
Stage Hypnosis. You will not want to miss this! It's
almost officially summer, a time for leisure and fun, so
start off the season with this winner of a show.

At the last meeting, I re-introduced my and the Board's
vision of having committees to help further the profession
of hypnosis and therefore all practitioners' work as
hypnotists or hypnotherapists. One area we were looking
to explore is group advertising, and another is World
Hypnotism Day-January 4th, 2007. There was a positive
response to getting involved and a sign up sheet was
passed around and we ended up with 2 commmittee chairs:
Katie Evans for Advertising, and Laurie Finkelstein for
World Hypnotism Day, as well as many committee members.

Thank you both so very much for your committment to these
projects. I know with both of these two talented and
"can-do attitude" women, we at NGHWA, and hypnotists in
general, will become much more known for the many benefits
we can provide the public. I also want to thank everyone
who signed up to be part of the committees. Your
willingness to be involved speaks alot about the members
of NGHWA. Thank you for your support.

If you haven't already registered for the NGH's Annual
Convnention, now is the time! The main hotel where the
conference is being held is already, and has been for some
time, completely booked, but they will give you a list of
other nearby hotels that can accommodate you. This will
be my first Annual Convention, and I'm looking forward to
meeting other NGHers from all over the world, as well as
taking so many interesting courses that are available. I
love learning, so I'll be in heaven, I'm imagining! Drop
me a line and let me know if you are headed that way as
well.

Knowing the power of thought, I'd like to ask you to send
healing thoughts/prayers/however you describe them, to
Deborah Kaye. She spoke at our March meeting this year
and has spoken before for NGHWA, and is a wonderful
hypnotherapist, as well as a wonderful human being, who
unfortunately got hit by a truck as she was walking in a
crosswalk on May 5th. She's home now recovering from
broken bones, skin grafts and more, although, as she says:
miracles: brain, spine, and organs all ok. I know it
can't be easy for her, and I thank you for any conscious
healing thoughts you can send her way.
