This is the hypnosis website for my good friend Stephen Brooks. He is probably one of the best hypnotherapists alive today. He is so good that his sessions have been recorded and stored in the UK’s National Sound Archives as a national treasure!

This is the UKs largest chain of Stop Smoking Clinics. I know they’re good as I am the head of training for NLP & hypnosis here!

This blog is filled with great articles on NLP and how to run your brain.
Become aware of your own movements. See the way you break them down yourself and then teach those elements.
Then compare the movement you see in the student with the one that you actually make yourself. If the student moves differently, ask the question “what is the student doing differently? What is he thinking or what is his thinking blind to that causes him to move this way?” Read the rest of this entry »
I recently met a guy in London that does some fascinating things. He’s a young artist (poet and wordsmith) with an interest in anything that expands the mind.
We got to talking (as you do) and he told me about a cool underground event that he’s organising: the Guerilla Zoo. Check this out at:
I have done some crazy things in my time, like sitting in the Amazon jungle for a month with a Shaman, so this sound like it would be right up my alley! Read the rest of this entry »
Following the study at the University of London showing that the brain functions differently in a hypnotic subject (I will post a link to this article when I find a free report of the study on the web), here is another little beauty conjured up by Cornell Univeristy in the USA.
The study showed people doing better at a word recognition task when hypnotised to believe it would be easy. As in the earlier study, changes in the areas of the brain that were activate where noted using fMRI scans. So hypnosis is not just “in the mind” its in the physical body, the neurology itself!
Here is a link to a report on the USA study:
What Hypnosis Does to the Brain Report
This study makes some interesting suggestions about, well… er… the power of suggestion. Perhaps the well documented placebo effect (check out what the placebo effect is here: The Placebo Effect Explained) is one of hypnotic suggestion after all?

It seems that the mystique of the hypnotic trance has inspired many people. I just came across this rather interesting music video based on the idea of trance.
This is Hugo Arcier’s sultry video for Wax Tailor’s Hypnosis Theme:
Something funny came up just the other day.
I was in Victoria (in London, UK) having lunch with some old friends before I headed out to the USA. One of these, Chris, has just written a childrens’ book. By all accounts (I got this mostly from children, but some adults too) its very good. Its called
“Fin and Mila and the Crown of the Tsars”.
So we’re sitting at lunch in a Spanish Tapas restaurant, when (with a wry grin) Chris hands me his manuscript ready to read on the open page. As I read it I realise that one of the main Bad Guys is a russian sleeper agent called Professor “Igor Ledochowski”…
This “Baddy” is so well written that I have to admit that I am flattered to have him based on me. Though how Chris found out about my KGB activation password I’ll never know… 
Written: in bed, remembering the good times the morning after the night before.
