Podcasts....We have recently made our instructional CD on self-hypnosis available as a series of three podcasts. If you’ve always wanted to learn self-hypnosis for personal trance-formation, see our new page for downloading the podcasts now.

What if ... You Are a Hypnotist ... and Don’t Know It? Debra and I recently (October 2007) returned from the Annual Convention of the Association for Business Communication in Washington, D.C., where our presentation topic was hypnosis. Our PowerPoint presentation (redesigned for reading rather than as presentation support) is now online in two formats, as a PowerPoint show and in PDF format set for high-resolution printing:

  • Hypnosis: PowerPoint Show. The show is self-starting and timed for readability. It was created with Microsoft Office 2007, and you may need to download an update to play it. If you need just the viewer, see PowerPoint Viewer.

  • Hypnosis: PDF Color Version. The PDF version is available for high-resolution printing. The background is blue; the text is white.

  • Hypnosis: PDF Black & White Version. The PDF version is set for high-resolution printing. The background is white; the text is black.

  • Hypnosis: Handouts Version. The black & white PDF version is set for high-resolution printing. The background is white; the text is black, and each page shows six slides.


Free, Fun, and Useful

The following files have been the most requested by participants in our workshops and those who have read our materials.

  • Facilitating Childbirth. Using hypnosis for pain management during labor and childbirth is not new. In 1955 the British Medical Association approved hypnotherapy as a valid medical treatment and an effective form of pain management during childbirth. The American Medical Association approved hypnotherapy in 1958. While going through pregnancy, labor, and delivery is one of the most natural experiences a woman can have, you can use SCS/NLP guided imagery/hypnosis to support your process in many ways--physical, emotional and mental, and spiritual. Research indicates that with proper use of SCS/NLP guided imagery/hypnosis you can experience shorter labor, reduce the need for pain medication, and have a statistically reduced incidence of surgical delivery, including Caesarian delivery and use of forceps. Additionally, at birth your baby is likely to have higher Apgar scores, which are the measurement of your baby's well-being.

  • The Personal Profile. The “Personal Profile” is a well-tested personality sorter, complete with questions, descriptions of behavioral tendencies, and correlations to common NLP Metaprograms and to Myers-Briggs personality descriptors. It is designed to help people understand the characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of their typical behavioral tendencies and to identify potential sources of interpersonal conflict in relationships. The “Personal Profile” may be downloaded and duplicated as long as it is reproduced in its entirety, including appropriate attribution.

  • SCS Placemat Worksheet. This worksheet is based on “The Place Mat Process,” in Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires (2004), by Esther and Jerry Hicks, p. 211. It is a great way to distinguish between what you really can do and what needs to be turned over to the universe with the recognition that it would be wonderful if....

  • The Drama Triangle Revisited. The main roles of the Drama Triangle—Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer—are well-known, but not everyone is familiar with either the Cognitive Triangle or the Transrational Pyramid. This document will help you identify the various roles and help you and your friends, family, and clients move from roles on the Drama Triangle to the sense of Awareness, Clarity, and Harmony available from the Transrational perspective.

  • Newly revised, the worksheet providing directions for using Healing Touch™ as self-care, is now available in two forms, the standard (Self Full Body Connection), and with new language incorporating the Lord’s Prayer for those who wish to draw on the resources of the Christian religion (Self Full Body with Our Father). Both worksheets provide the directions for use and illustrate the hand positions for balancing your Human Energy Field and inducing a state of relaxed well-being. A CD is also available (see SCS Products and Services for more information).

Flyers and Brochures

The following flyers and brochures are currently available online:

  • Seeing the Divine in Everyday Life “Seeing the Divine in Everyday Life: Seven Keys to More Joyful Living,” is the most recent SCS program. It is designed to facilitate your unraveling and eliminating the limiting beliefs that have prevented your feeling fully awake and joyful. You will learn to tell new stories about your life, and that change will make all the difference in the world.

  • NLP Certification Programs This brochure provides the details of the NLP workshops leading to certification as a Licensed Practitioner or Licensed Master Practitioner of NLP. SCS Matters, LLC, is an authorized institute by Richard Bandler and John La Valle of the Society of NLP.

  • Classroom Classics. This brochure provides the details of the NLP training with special emphasis on education and focus on using the techniques and strategies of NLP to enhance teaching and learning. From the NLP perspective, it is not enough to teach a person how to do something. The most important thing is to help him or her to create the kind of curiosity about learning that will lead to a lifetime of learning new things—and enjoying the process.

  • Sell-Buy-Ology. This brochure provides the details of the NLP training that provides special emphasis on business using the techniques and strategies of NLP to build the kind of rapport that enhances the process of selling and buying, whether products, services, or ideas. This workshop focuses on helping individuals make good decisions, including what to buy from whom—and what to sell to whom. This is relationship sales at its best.

  • Relationship Dynamics. This brochure covers the NLP training that focuses on enhancing the quality and enjoyment of your relationships, including those with significant others, family, friends, and business associates.

  • NLP-DNA Healing. This brochure describes the NLP training that focuses on health—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Because language has been shown to actually change the structure of DNA (determining which genes are turned on and which are turned off), NLP and hypnosis have a powerful effect on your well-being and your ability to promote the health and well-being of others. This workshop includes certification in Pre- and Postsurgical Support with SCS™.

  • SCS Workshop Application Form. This is the official application form to be completed after registration. It lets us know what you desire most from the workshop and helps us understand how we can best ensure that you achieve your objectives. Print and submit the form when you complete and send your workshop registration form.
