All the running around we did on Saturday with two shows - the first at Crystal's private party and the second The Next Hoorah in an open air venue that turned out to be on the chilly side for Lorraine and Kaye - and then Sunday making up for the music classes Kaye missed on Saturday with more running around . . . Lorraine is down with a cold and we suspect Kaye is also a bit on the lethargic side.
The shows were a lot of fun but the weather and the running around may have been more than we needed at the moment.
Luckily, Lorraine usually bounces back pretty fast from colds (while they lay me to waste for a very long while).
This Saturday evening enjoy music and fun. I will be appearing at THE NEXT HOORAH (http://taipeimotion.com) presenting hypnotic comedy fun in the 8:45-9:25pm slot right between a couple great music acts.
The Next Hoorah is a musical extravaganza with a few comedy and variety style acts to keep things fresh (that's me, freshener). It's going to be a big event and a lot of fun so be sure to come and have a wonderful time.
It's a party so come ready to have a great time . . .

What comes around, just keeps comin' around. Welcome to the
twenty-first century when important business decisions are guided by
psychics. The New York Times just printed a feature on how more businesses are turning to psychics to help them weather the economic downturn.
I realize that the following will offend the sensibilities of some of my readers, please bear with it and breathe deeply and relax around any of the inherent prejudices I might exhibit here or that you might experience in yourself as you read it . . . just for a few moments. If that's not possible then just skip this one and move to one of my posts that more suits your worldview, if need be.
This should come as no special surprise to any of us.
Regular readers of Life of Brian will recall that I posted a number of months back (on June 28) about a new trend in business of large corporations hiring psychics (aka, intuitionists or intuitives) to give them a one-up on the competition - Intuitionists Go Corporate - http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/2008/06/10000-a-month-p.html - and the ramifications thereof. Specifically, I discussed a piece profiling Laura Day written by Tony Dokoupil - The $10,000-a-Month Psychic - http://www.newsweek.com/id/142632
- Newsweek, 30 June 2008 (yes, my post about the article is dated before the article is dates; do not assume that's psychic prediction, rather, it's a phenomenon of mass media periodical shortdating).
These feature stories in major media publications that are fairly well respected are just the tip of the iceberg. Recently, there has been quite a tremendous upswing in public acceptance of "psychic" businesses, even while some locales have experienced an opposite swing.
It is a pretty common enough phenomenon that it might as well become a truism that in times of economic or social stress, psychics do more business. Of course, psychics and priests and shamans and therapists all do more business in such times. They do all represent the same socio-cultural niche, after all . . . whether they wish to admit it or not.
Of course, the skeptical response of circular reasoning certainly still applies in some cases but if one looks carefully at the formalized academic or scientific response to such matters one can definitely see a circular bias there as well. A friend of mine, a very well respected psychologist with an academic pedigree that would choke a horse (imaginary, psychic, or otherwise) recently published a paper on bias in journals regarding astrology that demonstrates very convincingly that certain prestigious journals have such an inherent bias against any discussion of astrology that no reputable scholar would risk his reputation on publicly examining the area. At least one double blind comparative study of psychological testing found that astrology horoscopes (complete profiles, not sloppy sun-sign pablum) were found to be more accurate in character trait analysis than the major personality profiles currently in use - in such light, Carl Jung's insistence upon drawing up a horoscope for any potential clients or students may make a bit more sense).
Of course, there is indeed a lot of chafe out there that passes for intuitive psychic awareness and certainly some such systems are altogether stuff-and-nonsense. I know I've met some rather self-deluded and sometimes more than a whole lot beyond oddball individuals within the community. However, I've also met some folks who have a lot stronger foundation in sensible thought than some of the so-called scientists and academic critical thinkers and theorists I've met. The trick is to approach all this stuff in the spirit of true scientific inquiry . . . test it to see what works without drawing any foregone conclusions. Obviously, for some folks who've entrenched themselves in the comfortable blanket of dogma, that is awfully hard to do.
However, as we learn more about the macro universe and how it may mirror in many ways the quantum universe, or at least the holographic universe or at least a bit of ordered chaos with genuine synchronicity thrown in for good measure, we discover that at least some of the things our ancestors were grunting and pounding about prior to building cities makes a lot of sense. It is perhaps no coincidence that many of our oldest archaeological artifacts relate not just to astronomy but to astrological significances. Some of that ancient knowledge may not just be mere primitive superstition but truths that were discovered and lost again and re-discovered in new forms.
Others will note that with this post, I am inaugurating a new category on my blog . . . Intuitionist: Psychic Intuitionism . . . as I really do post a bit on this subject and it does fit some of the work I do, albeit within the new paradigm approach rather than in the traditional conman or airy-fairie varieties of such things.
Do note that I do indeed freely acknowledge that I have a bias in these matters . . . I offer professional services that typically are placed in the realm of the psychic . . . I use the term intuitionist rather than psychic to avoid at least some of the negative connotations associated to the former but then I end up having to spend a fair bit of time explaining whateverintheworld an intuitionist is how is it different from a psychic (there are differences) . . . the services I offer don't really have much of anything to do with paranormal or supernatural phenomena, they are genuine phenomena based upon sound principles with no hocus pocus or shazam needed to activate them but silly preconceptions abound.

While driving to work the other day and listening to the English-language radio, a story that's particularly depressing came on about the number of Americans last year who were food-disadvantaged skyrocketed and things don't look to be getting any better. Close to thirty million Americans are relying on food stamps to survive (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/usa-2008-the-great-depression-803095.html). There are likely quite a few Americans who are food-disadvantaged who are not getting food stamps as well.
The food riot bit in the title of this post comes from the io9 reaction to this story. The sentiment may not be far off. Yes, indeed. That was then, this is now. Hellow, past, welcome to the future.
This Saturday evening enjoy music and fun. I will be appearing at THE NEXT HOORAH (http://taipeimotion.com) presenting hypnotic comedy fun in the 8:45-9:25pm slot right between a couple great music acts.

Okay, you know I'm going to do it . . . if you sit in my hypnosis chair, there is a pretty good chance you're going to end up with a "happy finger" . . . it's one of the processes folks know me for and one that I really enjoy playing with.
The following video clip is from the first-ever hypnosis session for the young woman. She was reasonably responsive and so . . . happy finger time . . .
Obviously, I ran the entire experiential process with the trance partner: induce hypnosis, verify experiential level through suggested number amnesia, switch to happy finger, suggested name amnesia, name replacement, then run a name confidence pattern. I usually use a five count dial for permanence suggestions (notice, I stop and re-affirm that this is a desired suggestion before running the dial and then stop again before doing the money-shot number five on the dial). If all that goes without a hitch, as it most often does if you've done your homework and run the process with dynamic interactive feedback, then you can do the real work, the changework that counts for that person with much more effectiveness and worth to the person.
There are more examples of my "happy finger" process here.
The "happy finger" process has become such an integral part of how we work with trance partners that I've included explanations and demonstrations of the process in a number of my video products. It can be found in one form or another in the Speed Hypnosis Techniques set currently on pre-release sale with a massive discount, in the Core Hypnosis Skills set which is appropriate for folks looking for certification and more, as well as in a stand-alone DVD on the Happy Finger itself.

A number of folks know me for the speed hypnosis and walkabout trance street hypnosis work I do. I was burrowing through some old disks and found a couple clips that demonstrate both.
For those of you who have been asking . . . YES we are indeed planning another Walkabout Trance Street Hypnosis event in the United States. When we have details completed, we will post them but we are most likely looking at some time in August.
Obviously, the handclasp is a straightforward suggestibility effect which can be
done as demonstrated here or as a classic instant induction or even as
a conversion into waking hypnosis . . . the anchoring demonstration is a rapid approach to the process and can be used in many contexts . . . both of these are explained and
demonstrated in the suggestibility effects volume of my core course as
well as in the speed hypnosis techniques set. See http://www.briandavidphillips.com/products/shop.html for all of the product options. See the main pages at http://www.briandavidphillips.com for training and services available.

As many of you know, in March I will be presenting a couple seminars for the Global Hypnosis eSummit (http://www.hypnosummit.com). One will be on Ideomotor Effect Processes while the other is on Gentle Rapid Hypnosis Inductions.
So many folks think of instant and rapid hypnosis as slam, bam, trance-you-ma'am sorts of things that rely upon invasive or scary shock components. Well, yes, they can be that way, but they don't have to be.
When I perform an instant induction, most of the time it is based upon a paradigm of gentle interaction. Rarely do I do the big shouts and slams but more often than not will use a nice gentle approach that still relies upon a form of shock - a gentle neurological shift rather than a strong physical shock.
Here are a couple videos of some gentle variants of the classic hand drop induction. This first piece is of a young woman on her very first visit to the hypnosis chair. She had never been hypnotized before. I elected to go with the hand drop instant induction with her and as you can see it's not rough at all but very gentle yet still with a powerful effect.
Later, the same young woman returned for another session and I used the same gentle instant process as a re-induction. Note that there is no need for shouting or slamming body parts about.
While some forms of instant and rapid induction can be very theatrical and are extremely appropriate for the stage or street, I have found that the skilled hypnotist needs to also have a number of gentle approaches in the toolbox for those persons or contexts where the showy approach is less than ideal.
Those of you familiar with my Speed Hypnosis Techniques materials will be happy to know that the gentle speed hypnosis approaches are covered in the new DVD set currently on pre-release sale, saving US$150 off the retail price when the product goes to full release on Dec. 15 (folks do need to complete their order before the cut-off date to receive the discount).

Imagine a pain free child birth without the help of medication. One
Grovetown woman is instructing expectant mothers on a technique she
says can offer that and more.
The story goes on to profile a woman who experienced so much pain with her first childbirth that she was extremely dreading the birth of her second child. That is until she found Christen Phillips of A Birthing Intuition (http://www.abirthingintuition.com) who works with folks via hypnobirthing and has become quite successful at the work.
Be sure to check the story and the video.
Long time readers of Life of Brian (http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian) know that fertility and birthing are the two areas where I have special fees as I really enjoy working with folks in this area. You do NOT have to suffer through childbirth. Too many women have been lied to throughout their lives with the myth of painful childbirth (yes, there may be discomfort but it does not have to be painful). Yes, some women do wear the "Curse of Eve" like a badge, but they don't have to.

Mary Pilon has an extensive feature in the Wall Street Journal on how "More People Use Hypnosis to Deal with Financial Stress" (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122644586325518911.html).

The cliche with crystal balls is the Hollywood image of an exotic fortune teller gazing into the ball and seeing all manner of strange and exotic images or scenes as if they are watching three-dimensional characters from the future acting out fate for those in the present.
Well, while some folks who perform "authentic" scrying do indeed experience such visualizations, that's not what many folks experience. Many scryers - crystal ball or otherwise - experience the session as a series of colors, fogs, or images.
While I find the concept of scrying fascinating, and do indeed enjoy a good visualization exercise, for purposes of hypnosis, I tend to play with crystal ball and other scrying tools as part of a series of trance-based processes, using the tools of the mystic but with the precision and power of the transformational hypnotist.
The following video is of a session employing one such process, the use of a crystal ball as part of an introspective awareness exercise that can be very beneficial for folks.
In my upcoming Psychic Hypnosis - http://www.briandavidphillips.com/training/psychichyp.html - course, I will be teaching both introspective processes like this one as well as externally-focused ones that are similar in scope to more traditional crystal ball gazing, albeit, employing hypnosis as a context-sensitive way to create more powerful, effective, and beneficial results.

Secrets of Fast, Faster, Fastest Hypnotic Techniques
A number of folks here have asked me over and over and over again when would I allow someone to film one of my popular SPEED HYPNOSIS seminars . . . up until now, I wouldn't do it as I didn't want to release a product just for the sake of releasing a product. I didn't want just another video of some guy (me) standing in front of a crowd filmed from the back of the room with a whole bunch of backs of folks' heads and far removed from the action.
Well, I have finally allowed a professional videographer into a SPEED HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES seminar and he used very high quality equipment that allowed him to get very close to the action. For instance, when I hold up a pendulum for a fixation induction, the video is so good that the pendulum fills the screen along with a closeup of the trance partner's eyes.
In order to celebrate the forthcoming release of the SPEED HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES DVD SET coming to you on Dec. 15, Lorraine and I are having a pre-release celebration sale . . . folks who order before the release date of Dec. 15 may purchase the entire SIX DVD set (that's over eleven hours of speed hypnosis instructional video) for the low pre-release price of US$250 . . . that's a savings of one hundred-fifty dollars off the regular price of US$400 which the set will sell for after the release date.

When the Amazing Kreskin was asked to play an evil hypnotist in Dante Tomaselli's film Horror, he decided he wanted to honor a conversation he had with Orson Welles years before . . . all the suggestion effects in the film are genuine.
Yes, Kreskin is still pushing the "no such thing as hypnosis" angle. The thing is that his definition of hypnosis is merely trance but that is NOT what hypnosis is. Yes, the critical component of hypnosis is suggestion. Hypnosis has been shown to exist through MRI scans, it's just NOT what he says it isn't.
Whether he believes in it or not, Kreskin is a master of waking hypnosis. Folks who have taken my speed hypnosis courses will recognize the leveraging of focused attention and suggestibility effects to create phenomena. It's hypnosis, it's just not the hypnosis of relaxed trance.

Step into the paranormal and magickal world of esoteric intuitive psychic processes made practical, of hidden concepts made clear, of introspective meditation and powerful changework. Here we remove the veil and examine the underlying operators of techniques that have been practiced for thousands of years in secrecy so that they can be applied in new contexts as powerful tools for change and transformation in our contemporary world.
COURSE MATERIALS and BONUS VALUE GIFTS: Students who register before Dec. 1 receive their reservation for the basic course materials and bonus value gifts including (1) Enhanced Psychic Intuition: Metaphysical Hypnosis Techniques text by Brian David Phillips, (2) "Psychic" Pendulum with Autoquestioning Answer Card, (3) Ouija Board with planchette stone, and (4) the Intuition Enhancement hypnosis audio CD.
Many hypnotists have an interest in psychic, paranormal, supernatural and metaphysical thought and practice. However, few courses demystify those practices in a clearcut manner that make them practical to use in the form of enhanced intuition techniques in non-metaphysical or contemporary settings. Metaphysical, paranormal, and psychic practices have been shrouded in secrecy for thousands of years, often cloaked in an aura of supernatural power beyond the ken of man. In this course, we will examine the underlying hypnotic operators within many of the practices in order to find how these techniques can be adapted to contemporary settings in practical ways in the form of programmed enhanced intution, stripping away some of the mystique in order to find powerful trance-based changework processes appropriate to today's clinical and introspective setting. Students will also learn how they can create wholly new trance-based rituals to suit any number of contemporary contexts from clinical to introspective meditation and applied practical contexts.
This is an intensive course in techniques, enhanced intuition hypnosis techniques. Participants should be prepared to leave all their preconceptions at the door and jump into this seminar with imaginations open and ready to experience new worlds and powerful processes.
The course is taught by Dr. Brian David Phillips, an internationally known and respected hypnosis practitioner, educator, author, and entertainer. Dr. Phillips is President of the Society of Experiential Trance, is the editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Experiential Trance and was the founding editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Hypnotic Arts and Sciences. Dr. Phillips is the coordinator and chief instructor for the oldest English-language hypnosis and focused-trance practice group in Taiwan and is the owner and moderator of one of the largest online email discussion communities related to hypnosis and focused trance techniques as well as one of the oldest and most respected online forums devoted to the discussion of the history and methods related to Tarot. He has taught numerous workshops and seminars on hypnosis, focused trance, and experiential hypnosis as well as a number of webinars (web-based seminars) on these and related subjects. Dr. Phillips is an associate professor at National Chengchi University. Dr. Phillips uses rapid and instant hypnosis inductions routinely in his Waking Dreams Hypnosis Show, the only ongoing entertainment comedy hypnosis stage show in Taiwan.
It won't be persuasive to the folks who for the most part voted for the incredibly misinformed rights-abolishing creature from the dark side that is Proposition Eight.
So, let's say you have a case of communication apprehension, the kind that makes it extremely difficult for you to talk to women. What do you do?
Well, some Japanese men purchase a DVD specifically designed to help them get "used" to seeing a woman look at them. The DVD is comprised of video of fifty women different women staring out from the screen. The idea is that this helps the men overcome their anxiety.
Just so you know, the program also has clips of little girls as many men have a generalized fear of speaking to women that is not merely specific to adults.
Of course, hypnotists have a number of much more effective and far swifter techniques to help folks overcome social phobia, but you have to admit that this particular product is original to say the least.
The approach is obviously based upon the concept of progressive desensitization and may indeed help some folks. However, I would suggest going to a competent hypnotherapist for help (in addition or instead of this program). Interesting idea and intriguing execution of the concept.

Stanley Fish has an opinion piece today in the New York Times - Psychology and Torture (http://fish.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/09/psychology-and-torture/) - on the recent declaration by the American Psychology Association which bans members from being part of interrogations (not limited to torture but US military interrogations that include "pressure" tactics are the intended target). Fish gives some interesting background to the story.

One of the reasons my daughter Kaye (http://www.kayephillips.com) is excited about Guitar Hero World Tour - besides the continuation of Guitar Hero funness - is that the new game has a music studio built in that allows folks to share their own original compositions. Since Kaye is a composer (albeit, focused on piano rather than the rock instruments that GHWT has - following the Rock Band model and not adding a keyboard which would totally be wonderifous).
We're not even sure that GHWT will make it to Taiwan with all the peripherals. Rock Band did not - we've seen the original game twice in shops in Taipei and they were old edition and for the US model and not the local models - so we're not sure if GHWT will make it this way.
Anyway . . . as Kaye craves the beastie, I found some vids on the music studio.
ONE: LAYING THE FOUNDATION Guitar Hero World Tour Music Studio
Now, let's see if the beastie actually comes to Taiwan so Kaye can put her compositions up (see her music webpage at http://www.kayephillips.com).

Of course, if you truly wish to truly master the use of suggestibility effects and other
hypnotic operators, I strongly recommend that you study and practice
the skills presented in the COMPREHENSIVE CORE SKILLS HYPNOSIS DVD COURSE at http://www.briandavidphillips.com/products/core.html. Two volumes of the DVD set explore suggestibility effects, suggestibility sequencing, waking hypnosis, and conversions of suggestibility effects into outright formal deep trance hypnosis and more.
Most folks who are aware of my work know of my interest in speed hypnosis . . . the really fast instant and rapid hypnosis inductions. Most of the folks who know of that interest are also very keenly aware that for me hypnosis does not require eye closure and that I love to improvise new inductions and new processes, often building variations on classic suggestibility effects. For me, a suggestibility effect is not merely a test of hypnotizeability but is an induction in and of itself and so can be very wonderfully leveraged as the gateway into a full-on eyes-open waking hypnosis session complete with manifestations of any or all of the so-called effects of classic hypnotic depth.
In fact, the suggestibility volume of my DVD course at http://www.briandavidphillips.com/products/core.html has the most comprehensive coverage of suggestibility effects and how to sequence them that I am aware of. The instant and rapid inductions volume of the same course has examples of converting suggestibility effects into more formal speed inductions as well.
In one of the many hypnosis lists I belong to, a discussion came up that centered on the arm catalepsy suggestibility effect. This Life of Brian - http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian - post is a collection of some of my responses in that thread that may be of interest to folks interested in upgrading their approach to suggestibility effects and waking hypnosis. Do note that the various quotes in this post come from various respondents within the discussion.
can you tell me how you would do the rigid steel bar arm suggestability test without actually going into the "close your eyes" sleep hypnosis?
Just do it without telling the person to close their eyes. Depending upon context, I will use it as an induction proper or as an initiator for a waking hypnosis session. If I wish to use it as a waking hypnosis session gateway, I will run the test as usual and then do a sticky bit of telling the person they can now bend it as the hand becomes stuck to the head or something like that (those who have trained with me know to use the magick word "because" there). While I will do that bit with arm catalepsy, more likely lately I will start that sequence off with the stick-stuck-to-hand suggestibility effect but the sequencing is relatively the same:
Sorry the video is out of focus on that one but that's the breaks (my wife was shooting some clips from the audience during the taping of a television special appearance - the actual program footage will be better).
Of course, one doesn't need the stick. The following is the effect with a pen in sequencing - albeit with an eye closure segment that lasts all of eight seconds (in which I adjust the positioning of the pen).
Just from this simple sequence, usually with eyes open for the entire time, I often take it on to full on manifestation of every so-called level of hypnotic depth. Folks who attended my recent series of courses in India where I taught several Speed Hypnosis seminars (based upon a system of improvisational structures that are built upon a unique understanding of how to leverage suggestibility effects and to create your own based upon the central operators), that I demonstrated just this very concept with a number of folks with an eyes open suggestibility-based induction that then led into all of the various depth signs (usually, I would call out the depth markers on the Arons Scale as we achieved them - and, yes, we did achieve all of them in a matter of moments with no eye closure and no suggestions for relaxation. While eye closure and relaxation are nice to use as leverage sets for hypnosis, they are not required, albeit they are extremely helpful and most commonly used.
Typically, if I use arm catalepsy, I will be using it as an induction into a formal contextualized hypnotic session.
ARM CATALEPSY HYPNOSIS INDUCTION SUGGESTIBILITY FUN
no matter who i try it on. maybe i need more intent. all the while im thinking, either its going to work perfectly or im going to look like an idiot
I agree with others that if you believe you may end up looking like an idiot, then that's pretty much the way it's going to go. However, do understand that with practice and experience you do start having a feel for the nuances that do increase your effectiveness. I do the "sticky" bit quite a bit when I'm out and about and what you see is pretty much what you get. You need to be focused and confident but you also really need to get the other person focused and expecting it to work. Don't leave any doubt in the trance partner's mind, that's the key to any of this stuff. Get 'em focused and excited about the prospects of something really interesting happening.
Great stuff Brian. I'm a professional drummer, so I'm gonna try the sticky stick for sure! Nice!
I used to drum now I just pretend to be a drummer.
If I have 'em handy, I will use my sticks (okay, mostly used as Harry Dresden style wands - I partially kid you not - although I do indeed drum once in awhile, albeit well on the side of suck) and have a very nice flashy silver pair that are great, especially for video or stage . . . but, nine out of ten times I use a pen or pencil or a business card (the sticky bit is great for giving out your card . . . hand 'em your card then stick 'em and tell 'em they can keep the card as a souvenir so it now has a special memory attached). A nice variation I've done a few times is to stick two folks at once and instead of using a stick or the like have 'em make "0" with their thumb and index fingers so they are interlocked then stick 'em and let 'em try to figure out how to unlock themselves from one another . . . with much merriment for all (especially when you introduce an element of "happy skin" so that if they touch the other person's skin it's like a happy drug that makes them giggle and laugh but they need to try to get unstuck which means they will touch and more giggle drugs or what-have-you).
You can routine it with more sticky bits and have quite a bit of playful fun with folks.
This is a gag you can do anywhere and at anytime. Wendi Freisen says after she took my speed hypnosis walkabout last year, she was sticking waiters in a luxury resort.
Have fun with variations and enjoy yourself.
Wow. That was really impressive actually.
Thank you.
Can you walk me through the stuck videos?
What do you need walking through on?
The effect itself is a classic stage hypnotist's gag which I include in my list of suggestibility effects that I often work and play with. It's called the "stick stuck to hand" suggestibility effect (not a "test" but an effect as "test" implies the possibility of failure and I would rather consider whatever the response is as feedback).
Have the person focus upon the point where you have him grip the stick or pen or pencil or business card or coin or whatever and tell him to imagine that his fingers are getting tighter and tighter. Watch the response to check to make certain that there is a tightening effect. Once you've got the tightening, slip into the "tighter and tighter" patter to increase the effect and then go for the "so tight that the more you TRY to let go the tighter they become until they are stuck, the more you TRY to release the more stuck they become" to create (1) the implied failure of TRY and (2) the self-reinforcing loop of the fingers becoming more stuck.
Once you have moved the stuck effect around a bit you can then transfer to stick to nose or head or where-ever. I will often slip in invisible tickle feathers at this point as well.
There is a listing and description of twenty-seven suggestibility effects including the "stick stuck to hand" in the resources section of my webpages at http://www.briandavidphillips.com . . . those interested in video explanations with demonstrations of the effects might check the suggestibility volume of my DVD course at http://www.briandavidphillips.com/products/core.html - the suggestibility volume also has a bit on sequencing various effects while the instant and rapid inductions volume of the same course has examples of converting suggestibility effects into formal speed inductions. I am not aware of any other DVD set that covers so many suggestibility effects and their use (most programs cover the basic ones while this one has some of more esoteric ones which don't get formal demonstrations quite so often). Of course, once you understand the principles, you can begin creating new variants based upon the concepts.
I hope this has been helpful. Seriously, if you really want to take your work with suggestibility effects, waking hypnosis, speed hypnosis, and even street hypnosis, consider ordering my DVD set at http://www.briandavidphillips.com/products/core.html and/or consider taking one of my walkabout trance or speed hypnosis courses whenever the next is available. Go to http://www.briandavidphillips.com regularly to keep abreast of new courses, trainings, mp3s, DVDs, shows, events, products, and what-have-you.

Over the next couple months, you're going to see a lot of folks on various lists talking about the upcoming Global Hypnosis eSummit, the first international "virtual" web-based bona fide conference for the hypnosis community. This is really exciting.
Some of you have already noticed this on my training schedule at http://www.briandavidphillips.com . . . yes, I will be presenting two sessions for the Global Hypnosis eSummit, March 13-15, 2009, which you may be interested in catching.
I don't yet have the specific times during the conference when my sessions will be in the schedule but that's okay . . . folks who register will be able to attend the conference via their own computers from the comfort of their own home and if you miss a session live, registered guests will be able to watch the archived videos of sessions on the web at their convenience (although you will want to catch sessions live for the interaction and a chance to "meet" a whole lot of good folks within the hypnosis community.
When you register at http://www.HypnoSummit.com be sure to put my name - BRIAN DAVID PHILLIPS - in the blank for who invited you to attend.
The two sessions I will be presenting are GENTLE RAPID HYPNOSIS INDUCTIONS and IDEOMOTOR EFFECT PROCESSES (From the Mundane to the Mystical):
These will be interactive sessions as I chat about the topics and present demonstrations for you as we discuss the material with a chance for you to ask questions and provide your own insights via live interactive chat.
GENTLE RAPID INDUCTIONS Seminar, One Hour
Participants will learn and a number of variations of instant and rapid hypnosis induction processes that are based upon a gentle rather than a shock orientation. Gentle Rapid Inductions are based upon an approach to speed hypnosis that uses a mild physical movement, emotional tag, or mental focus to achieve the bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind necessary for hypnosis rather than more typical physical shock approach. Be prepared for a fun and creative experience while undergoing a process for insightful understanding.
IDEOMOTOR EFFECT PROCESSES: From the Mundane to the Mystical Seminar, One Hour
The ideomotor effect is so often underutilized or misunderstood. It is a simple psychological effect that can be used in such a wide range of hypnotic contexts . . . from inductions to session utility to artistic expression. In this seminar, participants will learn a number of processes that take the concept of the ideomotor effect and adapt it to a number of very different contexts. Some of these are old friends, some are esoteric processes seldom used, and others are playful, yet powerful, methods for releasing creative energy or gaining insightful realization. Some of the ideomotor effect processes to be covered or demonstrated include Ideomotor Hand Induction, Pendulum Induction, Pendulum Autoquestioning, Finger Signals, Ideomotor Suggestibility, Quoshia, Ouija, Ouija Dancing, Sway Tests, Automatic Writing, Automatic Drawing, Sigils, Change Hands Process, Finger Dance, and more. In order to fully experience the demonstrations, participants are asked to have the following handy: pendulum, pencil or pens, blank paper (unlined drawing sheets, around ten sheets), and an empty drinking glass. This seminar is a solid bare-bones no-frills introduction to the application of a powerful effect into a number of very interesting and worthwhile techniques.
Yes, that IS a LOT of material to cover in just an hour so be sure to come prepared for an intensive but fun learning experience.
Remember to sign up early and to include me as your referral.
The folks at the conference have provided speakers with a form letter to send out to their email lists and post on forums and the like so I will do my bit and include it here.
I'm writing to let you know about a new and exciting hypnosis event that I am proud to be a part of. While there are multiple hypnosis conferences all over the world, this is an event unlike any other. Before you worry about gas prices or airfare I have great news to share: This conference, the Global Hypnosis eSummit, takes place in your living room!
The Global Hypnosis eSummit will bring quality hypnosis continuing education to your living room March 13th, 14th and 15th, 2009 when it offers almost 100 hours of education from some of the most respected minds in the field. University professors, doctors, respected authors, speakers, and clinicians with an intimate knowledge of hypnosis will share their insights and experiences with the general public as well as mingle with fellow attendees. The Global Hypnosis eSummit is designed to have video lectures as well as live audio, video, and text chat to maximize communication, sharing and learning.
Worth noting is that speakers have been listed from five continents already, showing an unprecedented solidarity within the field of hypnosis. Also of interest is that the Global Hypnosis eSummmit is being endorsed by multiple international organizations and is being organized by an independent group not affiliated with any certifying body. It is a continuing education resource, not just another certifying organization.
No politics, no membership dues, no hidden fees. No airfare, no hotel room, no time away from your family. Just pure hypnosis continuing education at your fingertips. In fact, you can watch every class whenever you want, as often as you want, for two full weeks after the live event is over. Finally, a conference that fits around your schedule and your budget!
With all the lectures and live chat options available to so many presenters and attendees from all over the world, this could very well be the most hypnosis information ever exchanged in a single weekend! The Global Hypnosis eSummit promises 99 hours of hypnosis education for $99 if you sign up before January first. After that, the price goes up to $129—still a great bargain for all this information.
Before I forget: We are having a friendly contest to see who can invite the most participants so please remember to put down my name - BRIAN DAVID PHILLIPS - as the person who invited you.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Global Hypnosis eSummit at www.HypnoSummit.com.
All the best, Brian

Everyone's favorite office linebacker Terry Tate is back (http://www.returnofterrytate.com) and he has some videos online that voters in the US presidential elections (okay, other folks interested in the election too) might wish to watch before deciding on their vote.
First . . . if you're thinking about not voting, watch this . . .
This one caused a shocked-milk-through-the-nose episode for me as it was so unexpected. Terry attempts to calmly explains how important he believes it is to read and keep abreast of current events to the vice-presidential candidate, or not.
