Distance Learning Course

One of the most controversial uses of hypnosis involves its potential regarding healing the body. This includes assisting the rate of surgical scar repair, controlling skin temperature, influencing blood flow, and improving immune system function. This course will discuss several recent scientific research projects, which have confirmed the role of suggestion and imagination for somatic healing. It will also explain some of the applicable techniques covered in Advanced Neuro-Noetic HypnosisTM training.
  • Discover how the mind can destroy or heal
  • Find out about credible mind/body research
  • Become skilled at new pain management and tissue healing protocols
  • Learn how to develop Somatic Genius
Next class starts Tuesday, March 16, 2010.

In August 2009, the International Hypnosis Research Institute announced the availability of two new certifications. These are the Mind/Body Integration and Advanced Neuro-Noetic HypnosisTM certifications. Both are currently available only in a distance learning format. They are designed to help integrative health care professionals improve their ability to enhance client and patient healing. These certifications and their individual courses are intended to appeal to a wide range of professionals. These include medical doctors, dentists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, hypnotherapists, counselors, chiropractors, massage therapists, and others.

Featured Article

The language of nursing was first mentioned by Florence Nightingale in her book Notes on Nursing when she stated that, "words are great tools." It is well understood that verbal patterns can either interfere with or enhance effective patient communication. Nursing 101 impresses the need to establish patient rapport. In doing so, we significantly impact patient cooperation, understanding and outcome.

Nurses communicate through facial gestures, body language, written, visual and verbal communication. We differ from other species in our ability to use verbal communication. Rudyard Kipling said, "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." Often nurses forget that words are just as important as antibiotics, pain medicines, surgery and other medical treatments. The purpose of this article is to describe the difference in therapeutic and toxic language in nursing.

When someone experiences trauma they go into immediate shock. This is very similar to hypnosis. Under hypnosis a person is more suggestible and tends to remember everything that occurred while in that state, even if it is on a subconscious level.

The Mindfulness Cliché


Over the past few years there has been a constant clamor regarding the wonders of a new version of Positive Psychology involving mindfulness. This leaves me to wonder if there is any substance to this or if it is yet another pop psychology mantra waiting to be pushed aside by the next trend. Is this unjustified panacea, merely yet another placebo claiming wondrous results, or a therapeutically significant concept? My intent here is to explore the origin, foundation, and potential value of mindfulness psychotherapy – and its relationship to hypnotherapy.

I first became acquainted with the concept when I attended a three-day workshop jointly conducted by two psychologists at an annual conference held each December in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The presenters were Mark S. Weisberg, PhD, an established authority in mind/body healing who practices in Minnesota, and Ronald D. Siegel, PsyD, who is affiliated with the Harvard Medical School. Since then I have become familiar with the work of Richard J. Davidson, PhD, a Harvard-educated scientist working at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Tenzin Nagi, PhD, at Emory University in Atlanta.
