Mike Mandel’s Latest Product Coming Soon

By Chris | May 28, 2009

Hi everyone,

Last night Mike Mandel officially finished recording an amazing new self-help program.  This is not a hypnosis program, but he does use hypnosis to install the “brain software”.  Essentially this product is a set of commands that you install within your unconscious mind so that your unconscious can serve you better.  I’m going to ask Mike to write a blog post to explain what he’s come up with since he can do a much better job than I can.

Anyway, the recording is finished, and it now has to go through the final steps (editing, adding background sounds, etc).

When the program is finished it will be released to our mailing list first, before it becomes generally available.  So if you want to have a first crack (probably at a discount also) then you need to join our list.  Look for the sign-up form on this page!

Self Hypnosis for Brain Surgery: A Great Article!

By Chris | May 14, 2009

I just came across this amazing website posting today that I thought would be interesting for our readers.  The story is about a 29 year-old woman who had to go through brain surgery.  She was freaked out by the idea of being unconscious for 6 hours of surgery, and worried about the smallish (2%) risks of serious complications.  She used a self hypnosis tape to give herself positive suggestions about relaxation, blood flowing away from the area of the surgery, etc.  She was discharged 2 days after the surgery with no complications and she had no bleeding at all during the brain surgery.

Here is a link to the story.

Self Hypnosis for Weight Loss

By Chris | May 1, 2009

“Self hypnosis for weight loss” is the most popular use of self hypnosis that people search for in Google.  I’m sure this has a lot to do with the high percentage of the population that is overweight.  But thankfully it also has to do with the massive number of people who really do want to change.  Guess what?  Self hypnosis for weight loss is something that is absolutely worth doing. 

Let’s first discuss weight loss, and then discuss how hypnosis or self hypnosis can help you achieve the goal of dropping a few pounds. 

Weight loss basics:  Your weight is something that changes based on the energy balance in your body.  Energy comes in through calories, and energy gets expended through exercise and general body functions (i.e. your metabolism).  In some ways it is very simple.  Eat less calories than you expend and you will lose weight.  That is a mathematical and scientific fact.  But in some ways it is not so simple because a person’s metabolism may change.  If you start eating less but your body goes into conservation mode, you may not affect your energy balance enough to make a difference to your body weight.

You can control energy input by changing what you eat, when you eat, and how you combine your foods.  

You can control your energy output by changing how you exercise, and by changing your “internal controls” to maintain an optimal metabolic rate.   For example, it is widely acknowledged that different levels of emotinal stress can change your body’s metabolic rate (that is, how many calories your body burns in a normal resting state). 

Self hypnosis for weight loss - can it really help? In my opinion, absolutely it can.  Please understand that, on its own, hypnosis is not a magic pill.  You can’t just “do hypnosis” and become thinner tomorrow.  That said, here is how you can affect your body using hypnosis:

Dr. Mike Mandel is a six-time award winning hypnotist with over 30 years of professional hypnosis experience.  His “brain software” series of self hypnosis CDs can help you to make the changes that you need to make. 

 Please check out Mike’s bio, and listen to the audio samples on our home page.  This will help you decide if his CDs are right for you.  I use them regularly, as do so many of our customers.  I hope you’ll become our next customer.  Click here to order.

We offer you Dr. Mandel’s products in MP3 format or physical CD (and they are backed up by a money back guarantee).

Overcome Trauma with Hypnosis and NLP

By Chris | March 12, 2009

Today I read a story in the Toronto Star about a Toronto woman who was awarded $4,000 because the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board decided that the police used unnecessary force against her in an incident on a public bus two years ago.

The woman, Nino Gulleid, became the victim of a lie.  She had argued with another woman at the bus stop, and when the women boarded the other woman told the bus driver that Nino Gulleid had a gun.  It was not true, but the driver called the police as per protocol.  The police ended up dragging her off the bus and humiliating her in public (according to the story in the Toronto Star).

I’m not going to judge the events of the situation because it’s not my place to do so.  But, Nino Gulleid says that the memory of this event disturbs her even two years later.  Of course it disturbs her.  This would be a traumatic experience for anyone to live through.

What she may not know is that hypnosis and NLP can help her to eliminate the harm from this traumatic memory.  We could show her how to change the way that the memory affects her.  Dr. Mike Mandel’s Peak Performance CD covers the NLP techniques that are required to deal with this.  His Stress Relief CD also teaches you how to do self-hypnosis, which you could use to overcome such trauma.

There are people all over the world who are dealing with varying levels of emotional trauma.  It could be from a relationship failing, an abusive situation, a dog bite, a bad experience with a boss or colleague, or anything else.  NLP and hypnosis are powerful tools to get you to change the way you react to these past memories.  After all, it is not the memory itself that hurts you - it is the emotional triggers that the memory fires off in your mind. If you change the emotional reaction you permanently change (or completely eliminate) the hurtfullness of the memory.

Nino - if you ever read this please get in touch with me (this is Chris).  I’ll show you exactly what to do so that you can end the negative emotions tied to this memory.  You’ll still have the memory, but it won’t bother you anymore.

Upcoming Courses in Hypnosis

By Chris | March 9, 2009

There are a few events coming up in the next month that you might want to know about if you have any interest in learning hypnosis.  All of these events take place in Toronto and are run by NLP Canada.  See the NLP Canada website for full details.

First Steps in Hypnosis (Wed March 25/09):  This is a 2-hour evening course to introduce you to hypnosis.  It’s suitable for people who are curious what hypnosis really is, what trance feels like, etc.  Chris Keeler and Linda Ferguson are donating your $25 fee for this course to Trails Youth Initiatives.  I took my NLP Practitioner training with Chris Keeler.  he is a fantastic trainer and it would be worth your time.  Note that this course is not taught by Dr. Mike Mandel.

Introduction to NLP and Ericksonian Hypnosis (Sat April 4/09):   This is a one-day course and will give you more learning opportunities than the above 2-hour session.  It will teach basic concepts in NLP and hypnosis.  It’s a bit more money ($145), and I still think it is worth the price.   This is also not taught by Dr. Mike Mandel.

Ericksonian Hypnosis Training with Dr. Mike Mandel (April 18-19 and 24-26):  This is a full two-weekend practitioner training in Ericksonian Hypnosis with Mike.  I took this and value the investment I made in this education.  Mike only does these courses about twice per year.  It is more expensive at $1790.  This course is simply fantastic!  Often his students are hypnotherapists who are coming to him to refine their skill set.

In Mike’s own words:

I am often asked “What makes this hypnosis course different?”

My answer is that the Ericksonian Hypnosis Course as presented by NLP Canada is truly world class. I bring more than three decades of full-time experience to the training which is geared toward the individual student’s needs. Whether an attendee is a psychologist or a medical doctor with a thriving hypnosis practice, or a complete beginner who wants to learn hypnosis for personal growth or perhaps in sales, this course conveys the necessary skills in just two weekends. Students and even instructors who are already certified through other fine organizations come to NLP Canada Training Inc. to learn from us, because we are the best at teaching flexibility and effortless hypnosis.

Our students learn to combine the best direct hypnotic methods with the Ericksonian paradigm and flow with the situation, rather than reading printed scripts at each other. Many of the inductions and interventions taught in the class were created by me personally, and are now used by hypnotists worldwide. The result is a very effective box of tools that give immediate and effortless access to the unconscious. That’s why many students come back and take the Master Hypnotist course. Each class has Master Hypnotists in attendance as resource people. They donate their time to help students learn these incredible skills in record time. We really have a blast, because if it’s not fun, what’s the point of doing it?

I honestly believe we offer the best hypnosis training anywhere on the planet!

A First Hand Experience of Being Hypnotized by Dr. Mike Mandel

By Chris | January 6, 2009

I just became aware of this awesome blog post about being hypnotized by Dr. Mike Mandel. The post is by Chris Lahay from Peterborough, Ontario.  He attended a stage hypnosis show in December 2008.  Mike did his human lie detector on Chris, and then Chris went up on stage for the hypnosis portion of the show.

His post is probably the best written account I’ve ever seen by someone who was hypnotized as part of a stage show.  Keep in mind that stage hypnosis is purely for comedy, and has very little in common with hypnotherapy (for therapy).

Mike did a variation of the human lie detector on me once.  He handed me a deck of cards and got me to pick the card, and memorize it.  He never touched the deck of cards other than handing it to me (and the deck was in the box).  To make a long story short, all Mike did was tell me a little story (60 seconds). The story included all of the words from one to ten, along with the words Jack, Queen,  King and Ace … he also managed to work in the words of all suits.  He observed me while he told his story.  Then he told me exactly what card I had selected.  It was incredible.  He had no way to influence my choice since I picked a card from a regular deck at random and he never touched the cards.

Regarding Mike’s hypnosis CDs, Chris Lahay has the following to say (see the end of his blog post):

“Check out his cds… I listened to his “Stress Relief & Self Hypnosis” cd this afternoon and it is amazing!”

Chris … thanks so much for your post.  I couldn’t agree more.  The CDs are outstanding. Once you’ve had a taste of hypnosis you’ll easily get hooked and want to learn more.

Wonderful Testimonial for Mike Mandel’s Self Hypnosis CDs

By Chris | November 21, 2008

Here is an email that was sent in by a recent customer, Steve from Ottawa. He gave us permission to use it on this website. Thanks a ton for sending this in, Steve. If you are a fan of Mike’s self hypnosis CDs, please email me. I woudl love to get your comments.

Hi Dr. Mandel,
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoy your CD’s. I have all three and listen to them almost every night before going to sleep. If I have a presentation to do, or something stressful to deal with, I often take a break and put a CD in. For me, these CD’s act like quick break, a reset, and serve almost like a meditation program. I’m curious if you have any plans to introduce any new CD’s in the future. If so, I’d be the first in line to buy them.

Thanks
Steve Lawson
