Thoughts and Words

I call this blog Verbal Impact, because I am fascinated by the powerful effect our words have. I may not be the only one.

Consider this:

Watch your thoughts, because they become words.
Watch your words because they become actions.
Watch your actions because they become habits.
Watch your habits because they become character.
Watch your character because that becomes your destiny.

--Chinese proverb

If you still Smoke

A good friend of mine, Debbie Lane, is doing a workshop for smokers who wish to adopt a more healthy lifestyle. She is actually donating all of the proceeds to the American Heart Association!

This will be at the Elks Lodge in Tarpon Springs, FL on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at 7PM.

Read more about it on her blog,

So if you have been struggling with this habit, it's time to take this outstanding opportunity!

You can quit and make a donation to the American Heart Association at the same time!

November Meeting

The next TBNGH meeting will be on Saturday November 20 at 7 PM at Panera Bread in Oldsmar.

The topic will be Past Life Regression.

This is a very common use for hypnosis, and is useful even if you don't believe in regression. Many therapists use this technique, because even if you or the client don't believe in reincarnation, it still seems to be therapeutic. I think the best book about this subject is Many Lives, Many Masters, by Brian Weiss.

At the last meeting, Mark Beck demonstrated some rapid inductions. First he did a group induction, then several individual inductions. I really enjoyed this meeting and I think the guests did, too. I think the hypnotists all learned something about this technique that is not often used in the office, but could valuable for some clients.
