Welcome |
Wishing you a
joyful, healthy year ahead, full of smiles and sunshine.
World Hypnotism Day is January 4th. This is the
day (or in some cases, the week) where hypnotists around
the world talk about the art and science of hypnosis
through a special event or the media.
|
 |
The OHC is holding the
world's largest relaxation session at Toronto's prestigious
The Sutton Place Hotel (see the announcement after my feature
article page). The hotel has arranged a prix-fixe dinner for
participants. When you book, just say you're attending this
event. You ARE coming, aren't you? Please phone or e-mail us
to confirm -- and bring friends -- but we do need you to
register ahead of time because we have to watch numbers.
It's going to be fun, with some high-profile people
and media attending. See you there!
Namaste,
Georgina
P.S. If you're from out of town, there's
also a special room rate should you want to stay at the hotel.
Check with The Sutton Place directly and mention the Jan 4th
World Hypnotism Day event. |

| The Spirit of Giving |
| by Dr. Georgina
Cannon | |
|
|
The holiday season is fast approaching
and unless you're one of those last minute types, you're
probably in the thick of gift shopping. Now is the
perfect time to think about the spirit of giving and
what it really means.
In North America, most of
us have all the stuff we could possibly need and a lot
more besides. Do the people on your list really need
another thingamabob or whatchamacallit? This year,
consider giving gifts that truly give.
Here are
some ideas:
Donate to a charity in someone's
name. When we have so much, it's important to think
about those who could use a little help. Choose a cause
that's near and dear to the heart of the person to be
named as the donor. He or she will appreciate the
gesture.
Give back to the earth. Instead
of thinking about what you can give one person, think
about what you can give to humankind and the planet at
the same time. You might plant a tree, sponsor a park
trail, protect an acre of rainforest or adopt a polar
bear in your recipient's name.
Give the gift
of health. A gift that can help someone improve or
maintain optimum health, whether physical or spiritual,
is truly precious. Consider a hypnotherapy session, a
CD, herbs, massage -- the options are limitless.
Give the gift of yourself. Be a buddy to
someone who needs it. Read to your grandmother, commit
to taking your uncle grocery shopping once a week, give
homemade gift certificates for walks or time spent
together on a favourite activity. Behind these gifts are
two things that can't ever be bought -- your time and
your love.
Make a gift. Often the most
appreciated gifts are simple ones that show you put
thought and care into creating them. Bake a batch of
cookies, make some homemade jam, compile a scrapbook,
knit a scarf, whittle a little statue -- we all have
special talents. Think about what you can do with your
talent to bring a smile to the heart of someone you care
about.
This year, take the season beyond the
material realm to shed some light and love on the world.
You'll be giving the greatest of gifts.

| Helping After the Hurricane |
| by Jo-Anne
Eadie | |
|
|
 |
I returned home late
last Monday night from down in Mobile, Alabama,
having fulfilled all the expectations that I had
for working for hurricane relief.
I
provided EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to the
two main volunteers who run SOS (Saving Our
Selves), who have not taken a day off since
Hurricane Katrina hit. | Their
phones never stop ringing and people are at them all the
time looking for direction. After just a few rounds of
EFT, they felt really relaxed; for the rest of their
day, they reported that they got so much more
done.
I also worked with a volunteer who is the
head of the warehouse for feeling overwhelmed, and
another volunteer in the warehouse who had had a
headache for two weeks straight......now it is gone.
I went out on a scouting run and with the help
of my angels, found a small community that had been
serviced briefly by Red Cross and then abandoned. A
scouting run is where a truck is loaded with supplies
and the purpose is to find pockets of people that have
not been serviced adequately or that have fallen through
the cracks. As we were unloading supplies in this little
rural community, a woman said to me that she had asked
God to send me. I replied that I had been asking my
angels all day where she was. I introduced myself as
Jo-Anne, and she replied that her name was Joanne too.
We hugged and rocked and laughed and cried. Joanne will
now set up her church as a distribution centre for the
area and they will get what they need.
In my
short time in Alabama and Mississippi, I have had many
hugs and wishes of "God bless you"...and have returned
them all. I was blessed all week long.
I EFT
tapped with women my age and older whose children and
families had moved in with them because they had lost
their homes. There was a lot of extra work and meals and
laundry and noise and they longed for the peace and
quiet they used to have, and then felt guilty because
they loved their families.
I tapped with people
who felt the loss of the beauty of the land. They were
reminded every time they walked down the road.
I
had a session with a whole family, a mother and three
children. The mother was still living in her home, which
was unsafe. The kitchen was caving in and she was afraid
it could come down at any time. Her 16-year-old son had
so many losses. His bedroom and all his belongings were
completely gone from the house. He had to change high
schools and got sent to a different one than his
friends; he was having difficulty fitting in at the new
school. His girlfriend had moved away to Atlanta to live
with relatives.
I couldn't reach the
nine-year-old girl. She had such sadness in her eyes and
she just walked away. The little seven-year-old was the
one I spent the most time with as he was terrified
another hurricane would come.
After each round
of EFT, I would test him with the same statement: "What
if you go home tonight and the news reports that another
hurricane is coming?" His whole body would begin to
shake and we would go right back to work. He trusted me
and worked as hard as any client I have ever had.
Finally, after about 45 minutes, his body didn't shake,
his eyes didn't reflect the fear and his answer was,
"Miss Jo-Anne, I'm not thinking about that anymore." I
will remember his smile and his hugs forever.
God works through me, the work is not done by
me. This was so evident in Alabama where the people are
like alarm clocks that have been wound too tight. Once
they let go, it is very fast. They seemed to learn EFT
so quickly too. We never had to spend much time on the
mechanics. God walked right by my side during my time
down there. The feeling is something that cannot be
explained, only experienced.
Please don't hold
back if you want to help. Veterans for Peace and SOS are
two organizations that are truly talking the talk and
walking the walk, 24-7. You'll find Veterans for Peace
at http://www.veteransforpeace.org
and SOS at http://www.sosafterkatrina.org.
If you haven't donated yet because you are
fearful the money will be wasted or not get to the
people who need it, you can contact Veterans for Peace
or SOS. There are lists on their web sites of things
they need. Send a Wal-Mart, Home Depot or Lowes card and
your shipping costs are next to nothing.
Peace,
Love and Joy

WORKSHOP:
Hypnosis for
Sports
Great athletes like Tiger Woods use
hypnosis to stay at the top of their game. All
athletes, whether amateur or pro, make excellent
clients because they are motivated and serious
about getting results. Golf alone is a huge
market, both corporately and personally -- these
are people who are fanatical about getting the
"edge" so that they beat their competitors! Now
you can help them get there.
Two-day
