Distance Learning Course

Over the past several decades, research into neurology, physiology, artificial intelligence, and quantum theory have presented new realities into how the mind and body are integrated. By applying these findings, one can gain an increased understanding of how suggestion and imagination can be effectively used to harness the power of the brain and begin discovering how the mind affects the body. Implications for improving performance, resolving mental concerns, and improving physical healing rates are startling. Whether you are a medical professional, a success coach, hypnotherapist, psychologist, or trainer, this course will provide you with specific techniques that you can use today to improve your skills. This course also serves as an introduction to the new field of Advanced Neuro-Noetic HypnosisTM.
  • Achieve a basic understanding of how suggestion and imagination affect neuro-physiological patterns found in habits, traits, and illnesses
  • Understand how to tailor guided imagery to strengthen the functions of the six major brain sectors and positively affect the problems typically associated with them
  • Learn how to avoid common hypnotherapy mistakes by understanding and employing a basic understanding of neural functioning
  • Learn how to get rapid results for lasting change by taking advantage of how the brain is "wired"
Next class starts Tuesday, February 23, 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




by Dr. Alexander R. Lees

Another title for this article could have been Guided Imagery Gone Wrong. Approximately 50% of the function of our brain is devoted to visualization. Interestingly, in those days when I presented workshops on guided imagery, it wasn't unusual for some participants to lament on their inability to make pictures in their heads.

Sometimes, their speech patterns indicated they were doing so, but at the same time, not really conscious of it. For example, I would offer everyday examples of visually accessing information, and the spontaneous response might be "Oh, I see what you mean," or "Can you show me more examples?"

Restaurants, shoe stores, athletic stores, bookstores, you name it...these days it's hard not to find an ad for a "Buy one, get one free" offer. I can hardly walk down an aisle in my local Public supermarket in south Florida without seeing the word "FREE"...

How easy it is for us to get too wrapped up in the bustle of everyday life, so much so we sometimes lose track of thought. If possible, it would be nice to take time to sit and gaze out the window and let the day unfold in natural delight. Without the stress and scurry, life is truly a blessing...

Mastering Learning as a Process Skill


Whether part of our formal education, professional development, or the improvement of skills related to a hobby, in order to more efficiently acquire information we seldom focus on the need to improve our learning skill. Yes, we focus on content and pretty much ignore the need to improve our learning processes. However, our ability to master the tasks related to an endeavor depends almost entirely on our improving our ability to acquire knowledge.

Learning is a process skill that was established first at the infant and young child period of our lives. Our methods were habituated at a time when our immature brains were rapidly developing. Some of the ways that we encoded procedural and declarative memories are as valid in our adult life as they were in those early years. Nevertheless, as a mature human with several decades of knowledge acquisition under our hats, we now have numerous additional learning advantages that are ignored should we continue to use methods that were appropriate prior to our brain fully developing.

Our Institute is dedicated to clearly establishing the credibility of all integrative modalities, not just hypnosis. We sincerely believe that this is for the best interests of the public around the globe. In order to fulfill this mission, we need your support.
