Greetings and Welcome to the Future World of
Hypnosis
How many
of us remember that time when over 80% of all Hypnotherapists practiced
“Directive Hypnosis”?
During
the 60s and 70s a major shift occurred and “non-directive” or self directed
practices became the norm. This factor more than any other changed the role of
the Hypnotherapist in relation to their clients. Now, instead of using
directive “scripts” (one size fits all), practitioners engage their clients in
a free and intuitive flow.
It is
important to remember that a Hypnotherapist is born with everything they need
in order to achieve excellence in their chosen field.
Although
many “magical” gadgets are purported to effect the same results as Hypnosis,
seldom do these tools provide more than temporary relief. An experienced
Hypnotherapist who understands the dynamics of permanent healing can easily
explain why this is so.
Not until
the client, with the aid of a gifted, well-trained and experienced
Hypnotherapist identifies the true source of their problems, can they achieve a
state of harmony. Only then can they experience a sense of deep inner peace by
forgiving oneself and others—and equally important—affirming hope for a better
tomorrow.
Often we
Hypnotherapists have our own issues and challenges. As we progress through the
three stages of relationship with ourselves and others [Co-dependance, 2)
In-dependence, and finally 3) Inter-dependence]; as we continue to practice the
dictum, “Physician, Heal Thyself”; we discover that a person who “walks their
own talk,” is eminently more qualified to work with others than a
directive-oriented, “do what I say not what I do” practitioner.
One of
the greatest tools yet to be fully used and appreciated is the subconscious
working with time and space. A Hypnotherapist can ask a patient, “How long do
you think it will take you to completely finished grieving the loss of a loved
one?” If they respond, “three to five years,” you can then suggest to them
while they are in a hypnotically altered state: “Would you be willing to
complete this as I count down from 20 to 1?” They will almost always say,
“Yes!” This is one of the best illustrations of non-directive Hypnosis.
Remember and practice the “State Park Rules”:
Always trying to leave a person a little cleaner and brighter, after their
visit with you.
One of my
favorite sayings is: “It is never too late to have a happy childhood.” Perhaps
we can add: “It is never too late to have a magnificent Present with a Future
so bright you will have to wear sunglasses 24-7!”
Welcome
to a brilliant Future that is my Present,

UPCOMING TOPICS
& PRESENTERS
December 7, 2010 – Holiday
Party
WE INVITE YOU TO
SERVE ASPH AS AN
OFFICER
If you would like to serve ASPH as an
officer or if you would like to
nominate an ASPH member to serve as an
officer, please email us at
Below is information about the duties of
each officer.
President
The President “steers
the ship.” They check and double-check on their own and everyone else’s duties
and responsibilities. The President must be familiar with every activity that
each of the officers must perform in order to insure that the organization is
running smoothly. This requires full knowledge and understanding of the Systems
Manual. Use this manual as a map or blueprint.
From the
By-Laws:
President - shall be the
chief officer of the Society, shall sign all official documents that are
authorized by the Society, shall preside at all meetings of the members and
enforce order and a strict compliance with the Constitution and By-Laws,
appoint the chairpersons of all Boards and Committees not otherwise provided
for, be ex-officio member of all Boards and Committees and see that the
officers perform their respective duties faithfully and impartially.
However, except
for the Committee chairpersons, all appointments of committee members shall be
made by the chairperson of said Committee.
While occupying
the chair, the President shall take no part in debate.
The President
shall also transact such other business as may by custom, pertain to that
office. The President shall decide all points of law and order subject to
appeal, which shall forthwith be considered by the Society.
The President
by virtue of their office shall have no vote except to break a tie or deadlock.
The President
shall perform all duties as outlined in the current ASPH Systems Manual for the
Office of President.
Vice President
The Vice-President is
the backup for the President. Like the
President, they are familiar with every activity that each of the officers must
perform in order to insure that the organization is running smoothly. The
Vice-President can easily step in and run the organization in the absence of
the President. This requires full knowledge and understanding of the Systems
Manual. Use this manual as a map or blueprint.
From the
By-Laws:
Vice President - shall assist
the President in the performance of their duties. In the absence of the
President the duties of the office shall be performed by the Vice President and
in the absence of the President and Vice President, their duties shall be
performed by the Secretary.
The Vice President or Secretary when performing the duties of the President
shall have no vote except to break a tie or deadlock.
If all three of these Officers are unable to attend a monthly meeting,
the Executive Board shall re-schedule the date of the meeting at a time when
one of these three officers can be in attendance.
The Vice President shall perform all duties as outlined in the current
ASPH Systems Manual for the Office of Vice President.
Secretary
The Secretary, like the
President, checks and double-checks on their own and everyone else’s duties and
responsibilities. This requires familiarity with every activity that each of
the officers must perform in order to insure that the organization is running
smoothly. Also, the Secretary should be fully capable of running the meeting
and assuming any of the responsibilities for the other officers in case this
becomes necessary. Use this manual as a map or blueprint.
From the
By-Laws:
Secretary - shall keep a
correct record of all transactions of each meeting of the Society and Board of
Officers' meetings, and record the same in respective books to be known as the
Book of Minutes.
The Secretary
shall send a monthly newsletter to each member, containing current
announcements and schedule of forthcoming Society meetings, Minutes from the
previous Society meeting, the current Treasurer’s Report, and other information
deemed to be of value to members.
The newsletter
will be sent electronically (by email) and will be sent by post to those
Society members who do not have email addresses. It is the responsibility of each
Society member to deliver the most current email and/or postal address to the
Secretary, who will send this information to the Treasurer.
The monthly
newsletter shall be sent not less than five (5) days or more than twenty-five
(25) days prior to the next meeting date.
The Secretary
and Statutory Agent have access to the asph@live.com email address
at live.com where organization emails are sent and received. The Secretary
shall liaise with Agent to keep the contact list of email addresses current.
The Secretary,
Treasurer and Statutory Agent shall keep an accurate database of Society
members, containing name, address, phone numbers, fax number, email address and
URL address.
The Secretary
is the contact person for all notices and announcements.
At the
expiration of the Secretary's term of office, the Secretary shall give a
correct report of the business of the office to the Society and deliver to the
successor in said office all books and other property belonging to the Society
in retiring Secretary's possession.
The Secretary
shall perform all duties as outlined in the current ASPH Systems Manual for the
Office of Secretary.
Treasurer
The Treasurer will be
familiar with every activity that each of the officers performs. Also, they
should be fully capable of running the meeting and assuming any of the
responsibilities for the other officers in case this becomes necessary. This
includes taking care of banking activities, i.e., depositing checks in the
absence of the Statutory Agent after the Statutory Agent has endorsed the
checks. This requires full knowledge and understanding of the Systems Manual.
Use this manual as a map or blueprint.
From the By-Laws:
Treasurer - The
Treasurer shall liaise with the Statutory Agent to solicit and invoice all
members for their annual dues, keep an accurate account of all the monies
received and expended, and liaise with the Secretary & Statutory Agent to
keep the Membership Roster current.
The Treasurer
shall secure the meeting place for monthly meetings as well as the December
Holiday Party and liaise with the Statutory Agent for arranging monthly
payments to the rental facility manager.
The Treasurer
shall liaise with the Statutory Agent and Secretary to keep a database of paid
members. This database will contain current member information concerning name,
address, phone numbers, fax numbers, email address and URL address.
The Secretary,
Treasurer and Statutory Agent shall confer and update this database on a
monthly basis.
At the regular
meeting held in December of each year, the Treasurer and/or Statutory Agent
shall give to all other officers a correct account of all monies in the
organization’s checking account, together with the books, papers and receipts
belonging to that office. At any time when ordered by the Society, the
Treasurer and/or Statutory Agent shall deliver all monies, books and receipts.
The Treasurer
& Statutory Agent shall deliver to the successor in office all the books
and other properties in said Treasurer's possession belonging to the Society.
All disbursements made by the Treasurer from any monies held by Treasurer
belonging to the Society shall be paid by check or the ASPH bank debit
card. The Treasurer is not authorized at
any time on behalf of the Society to make payments by cash. All expenditures
that exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) must be approved by the Board of
Officers.
The Treasurer
shall perform all duties as outlined in the current ASPH Systems Manual for the
Office of Treasurer.
Announcement
from Carol Adler, ASPH Statutory Agent
Since
January 2000, I have enjoyed serving ASPH first as Secretary, and from 2003
until now, as
Statutory
Agent. During those years, I have
thoroughly enjoyed my participation in ASPH.
Every
monthly meeting was an Event that contributed to my personal
Growth...
and it’s always wonderful to spend time with like-minded people.
It
is often said that party guests need to know when it’s time to leave. The same
is true for
leadership
of an organization. For the health of ASPH, it is time for a “change of the
guard.”
I
shall be delighted to serve as Statutory Agent for the year 2011, but next
November, you
will
be nominating and electing someone else to fill that position. I shall do my
best to orient
the
new 2012 Statutory Agent. They will have an updated Systems Manual as a
comprehensive
guidebook,
and the experience and help of other ASPH leaders as well,to make this an easy
transition.
Yours in Service, with Love &
Light,
Carol Adler, CHt
ASPH Statutory Agent
