Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to provide quality information to clinicians and the general public concerning hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and other mind/body modalities. We intend to expand our coverage to include such topics as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), energy psychology and medicine, and other related topics. While our intention is to provide quality information derived from valid sources, including peer reviewed literature concerning significant research, this site is not presented as a source of medical or psychological advice. Clinicians wishing to expand their scope of practice or protocols based upon presented information should perform due diligence prior to use. It is our sincere hope to stimulate interest in these topics and to contribute to the evolution of the science of hypnosis. -- Tim Brunson, PhD

Dan Bensky DO

Dr. Bensky has been actively involved in the practice, teaching, and translation of East Asian medicine and osteopathic medicine for over thirty years. His training has included a Diploma in Chinese Medicine from the Macau Institute of Chinese Medicine (1975), a Doctor of Osteopathy from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (1982), and a Ph.D. from the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (2006).

The primary modalities that he uses are a variety of osteopathic manipulative approaches, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicines. It is important to remember that in all of these forms of medicine, the actual treatment is usually the patient's response to the what the practitioner does, not what the practitioner does directly. The focus of the treatment is on the getting the organism to regain its normal balance by engaging it in a dialogue through providing information and (usually) gentle forms of stimulation.

For this reason, not only is it not a good idea to be treated too frequently, but there are often things that patients need to do in their daily lives in order to get the optimal response. This can include physical activities and exercises, dietary or lifestyle changes. Often it will be helpful to make sure that you have a healthy approach towards life.

Patricia Conklin

Patti Conklin is a very gifted clairvoyant and intuitive, but combine her preternatural 'knowing' with her extraordinary sight, and you have a very rare combination. Physicists tell us that our entire physical world is made up of tiny, vibrating particles and this is the world that Patti Conklin sees. Ms. Conklin also adds that it is not just the physical world that is made of vibration. We know that the visible and invisible light spectrum, from all the visible colors to the x-rays and gamma rays, are also vibrations or frequencies. These frequencies are easily detected with our own eyes (the visible spectrum) or with the appropriate instruments. Patti vision yields something even more spectacular. Patti sees the "other side" just as easily as the physical world. She can see Angels, Spirit Guides and the Universe in all of their vibrational states. Recently, Patti has received a lot of attention from individuals and medical personnel who have

Max Long

Shortly after graduating from UCLA in 1917, Max Freedom Long moved to the island of Hawaii to teach in elementary schools. When he arrived, he claimed that some Native Hawaiians were practicing what he called "magic." Long wrote that, at first, he was skeptical of this magic, but later became convinced that it worked. He devoted the rest of his life to creating theories about how the Native Hawaiians did what he claimed they did, and teaching those theories through the sale of books and newsletters.Long decided to call his compilation of teachings Huna, because one meaning of the word is "hidden secret." He wrote that he derived it from the word kahuna, which is a priest or master craftsman who ranked near the top of the social scale.Long founded an organization called the Huna Fellowship in 1945 and, starting in 1936, published a series of books on Huna, many of which are still in print.
