The Academy for Professional Hypnosis Training is pleased to invite YOU to attend the world's largest and friendliest hypnosis convention!

This August, the National Guild of Hypnotists will gather for its 2011 Convention and Educational Conference at the Royal Plaza Hotel and Trade Center in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Aug. 12-14, and all with an interest in hypnotism are welcome to register and attend this annual event!

Mary Elizabeth Raines, a certified hypnosis instructor and adjunct faculty member with the National Guild of Hypnotists, has been invited to return to the 2011 NGH Convention as a faculty presenter for the twelfth consecutive year. She is the director of Laughing Cherub Unlimited, Midwest Professional Hypnosis Associates, and Faculty Instructor for the Academy for Professional Hypnosis Training in Wisconsin, Los Angeles and Sedona. Through the Guild, Raines will offer a Certification Course in Guided Imagery Techniques on Monday, August 15, 2011 at the Summer Institute immediately following the convention. This is a one-day course for registered participants only. Upon successful completion, participants receive certification as a Guided Imagery Specialist. Ms. Raines writes a column on Guided Imagery for The Journal of Hypnotism, and has taught this course for the past four years. Ms. Raines will also be offering a free seminar on Rehearsing Success and a two-hour workshop on Treasure Chest of Hypnosis Suggestion Tools at the convention on Saturday, August 13th. The beginning hypnotist as well as the seasoned professional will receive valuable tools in these sessions.

“This year's convention promises to be a real sleeper!” says Raines with a smile. She adds, “Truly, my annual schedule revolves around one event: the National Guild of Hypnotists Convention. For anyone thirsty to learn more about nearly any aspect of hypnosis, it is the place on the planet to be. “NGH faculty presenters are expert, accessible and share freely, the bookstore is amazing, the entertainment is always a delight, and conference participants are friendly and warm! I have formed deep and lasting friendships with so many people I've met at the NGH Convention. “We hypnotists are in the wonderful business of service--of helping others improve, heal and upgrade their lives. Most of us work on ourselves as well, so you can imagine what a giving, healthy, happy group of people fill the hallways! It is impossible to describe the camaraderie and magic that occur. “There is nothing else like it on earth,” says Raines. “Participating in the NGH Convention is a must for anyone with an interest in hypnosis.” For further convention details and registration information, please visit the NGH web site:    BACK TO MAIN PAGE, ACADEMY FOR PROFESSIONAL HYPNOSIS TRAINING
