Is there a difference between hypnosis and meditation?
We often hear of the altered state of hypnosis in the same way that we hear of guided imagery, visualization work, and meditation, yet are all of these things the same?  In this upcoming Monday Night Conscious Community Class, we will explore the differences and the similarities when it comes to various types of altered states.  Most importantly, we will explore the difference between simple hypnosis, basic and advanced meditation techniques, as a well as clinical hypnotherapy training and how the altered state of hypnosis can be used in extremely powerful ways once we know how to apply it properly.  Join us this Monday Night at 7:00pm EST with Institute of Hypnotherapy Founder and Lead Instructor, Matthew Brownstein.

Does classical hypnosis training offer the opportunity to connect with spiritual realms of being? Is it wise to blend down-to-earth scientific hypnotism training with metaphysics? If we keep discussions about “Higher Self” out of the hypnotherapy dialogue, do we miss something vital and important? If we answer that it is best to acknowledge a reality beyond the physical, then at what point in an education in hypnotherapy should we discuss transpersonal ideas? Join us on Monday the 9th at 7:00pm EST for a live online webinar to discuss scientific hypnotherapy and the place for “Higher Self” in this life-transforming field of study.

Hypnosis can be used for more than just behavior modification and non-therapeutic applications.  Many people are not aware of the clinical uses of hypnosis and what State laws govern this practice.   For many hypnotists or hypnotherapists, regardless of their level of training, they work with therapeutic and non-therapeutic forms of hypnosis and touch upon medical, mental health and dental conditions without a legal basis to do so.  Misunderstandings about our profession and the laws that govern it keep many people from learning hypnotherapy and embracing a career as a hypnotherapist.  For anyone interested in utilizing hypnosis in a professional manner, we invite you to join us this Monday Night at 7:00pm as we discuss Medical Hypnosis, Hypnosis Law and Scope of Practice Assessment; all designed to keep you and your clients safe and within the confines of the law.

What does it mean to be truly free?  Is it the ability to go where you want, when you want and with whom you want, or is freedom something deeper that we can find within ourselves regardless of our external circumstances?  Must we work to make the outside world to be exactly as we want it to be to experience freedom or can we discover an inner sense of calm and peace that is available to us under any circumstances?  Join us this Monday Night at 7:00pm EST for a free webinar with Institute Founder, Matthew Brownstein, as we discuss how hypnotherapy and an education in hypnotherapy can free the heart and mind of old blockages that keep us from true freedom and true peace.

Who wouldn’t want to be more successful and don’t we all find times when we know we get in our own way?  What if our very own minds are the cause of our own sufferings and shortcomings?  Could the mind known as the subconscious be causing problems in our lives below the level of conscious awareness?  Join us this Monday Night at 7pm EST for a Live Webinar with Institute Founder and Director, Matthew Brownstein as we explore the reasons for self-sabotage and the hypnotherapy training ways to overcome them.
