What does it mean to a person to receive a "real" greeting card? You know, a paper card. A card that comes in the mail, in an envelope.
Sometimes cards (or cards + gifts) arrive at just the right time. You may never know the difference that your card makes in the life of another person.
There are at least two reasons to send heartfelt cards. One is to let another person know that that person really matters to you. You took the time to select the card and write your personal message. And then mail it. Everybody is busy, but you are the one who cared.
But another reason is the benefit that you gain from sending that card. You feel better for having done that.
Contact me for a way to do this. A way that is of high quality, easy, convenient, economical.

Gus launches new card & gift business
On September 19, 2011, I launched a new enterprise and established an independent distributorship with SendOutCards. This company, of Salt Lake City, is a greeting card and gift supplier to independent distributors, whose customers order their personally-designed cards from their own computers.
As a distributor, I establish retail customer accounts, wholesale customer accounts and also identify people who would like to investigate establishing their own distributorships.
Please view my explanatory video at www.SendOutCards.com/GusPhilpott You can message me right from my website there (contact information is in the upper-right corner).
If you like to send greeting cards that your family and friends will keep, not throw away, these are the cards for you. And it's very easy to send a quality gift right along with the card. Check it out today.

Available for your meeting
Looking for an entertaining speaker for your next monthly program? Consider inviting Gus Philpott to chat up your audience with stories about past lives and spirits. Or, if you'd like an informative, and humorous, talk on death and dying, invite him (me!) for that, too.
Your audience will not be just entertained. They'll go away from the meeting, thinking about the topics that were discussed and the questions that were asked and answered.
Will I hypnotize the young lady in the corner and make her body rigid as a bar of steel, so that she can be placed atop two chairs with her shoulders on one chair back and her heels on the other? No, and there is a good reason. My teacher, trainer and mentor threatened to come back and haunt me, if I ever did that. My teacher was an osteopath who cautioned strongly against placing such a hypnotized person at risk of back injury by such a "stunt".
I could do that - I've heard of it and I've seen it. And I've seen a man stand on a hypnotized person so suspended between chairs. And I still won't do it. And, by the way, there wouldn't be anything magical about my skills as a hypnotist/hypnotherapist. It's all about the willingness of the subject to be hypnotized to that level.
Stage hypnosis is fun to watch (and fun to do). But it needs to be done in a manner that avoids any embarrassing situations for the persons who volunteer.
So, need a guest speaker? Give me a call at (815) 338-2666. Locally (Woodstock, Ill.) or will travel.

Wanted: hypnosis partner
As many of you know, I have been involved in hypnotherapy work since 1992, when I studied and worked with Dr. Irene Hickman of Kirksville, Mo.
I am looking for a partner to work with me in a certain type of hypnosis session. I get frequent requests for a type of hypnotherapy that requires a second person. This second person would serve as a hypnotized person and together we would do the work requested by a person who does not live here and who would not be present during the session. Recently, I received requests from a man in Georgia (USA) and from a man in Poland.
This is not pro bono work. Clients pay to have this work done by competent practitioners. I've been involved in this work for 18 years and am, frankly, good at it. I have trained others and have co-conducted workshops at professional conferences.
If you are interested in learning more about it, please email me at gus@gusphilpott.com

Does hypnosis by phone work?
Is there any reason that hypnosis by telephone shouldn't work?
I've done a number of telephone hypnosis sessions. While I much prefer to do them in person, they surely can be done successfully by telephone.
Two cases come to mind. The first, done on a Sunday night prior to the woman client's planned cancer surgery on Monday, was started in the afternoon. Everything was going smoothly, until I realized that something had caused the woman to leave the trance state. It turned out there was a thunder and lightning storm in her area. I quickly suggested we finish the session in the evening, and we did.
In 1993 I had met Dr. Raymond Moody (author, Life After Life) and Dannion Brinkley (author, Saved by the Light) and had heard their stories about the near-death experience. Brinkley had been on the telephone in his bedroom when he was struck by lightning and died. His is a fascinating story.
A second case involved a woman who was suffering insomnia. We had already worked together, and I did a phone session with her one evening, and I learned the next day that she had slept the night straight through.
With the availability of Skype, telephone sessions are even better, because I can pick up important visual clues to the hypnotized person's experience. For more information, contact me.

Does hypnosis work? Do demons leave?
I'm often asked if hypnosis works and how many sessions a person might need.
I recall a day back in April 1993, when a woman in New Jersey told me of several problems she wanted to work on. When she asked how many sessions I thought it might take, I answered, "Is this supposed to take more than one?"
And we did one session.
One of the difficult things about building my type of hypnotherapy practice is that clients most often do come to see me only one time. And it's not because they run away afterwards. It's because hypnotherapy is incredibly effective or, rather, the mind is incredibly effective in resolving problems when it has the right tool(s).
Two of her problems we solved without hypnosis. She told me that she was having problems with her ex-husband. What was the problem? He wouldn't give her a divorce. "So he's not your ex-husband, is he? He's your husband!"
She had had four lawyers, and they couldn't get him served. Since he was a transmission repair shop owner, I told her he was the easiest guy in the world to serve with divorce papers. I told her to buy a junk car for $25 and pay $100 to have it towed to the guy's shop. When Louie rolled out from under it and said it would be $1,000 to fix the transmission, all the process server had to do was drop the summons on his chest and leave. Bingo! Served!
Next problem?
After four lawyers and $40,000, she wasn't divorced. I told her to hire a new lawyer, sue to get the $40K back, give the new guy $20K and tell him to get her divorce finished. Take the other $20K and go around the world. Tell the new guy, if she wasn't divorced when she got back, she was going to sue him and get that $20K back.
Next problem?
Now, her hypnotherapy session did last over two hours. She had a whole bunch of demons. Dr. Hickman and I couldn't get most of them to leave together, so we had to pick them off, one by one.
Some were threatening, but they left. They all left. In one session.

M. Scott Peck, M.D. - exorcist?
A fellow traveler in Australia recently recommended a book called Glimpses of the Devil, by M. Scott Peck, M.D. Many will be familiar with Dr. Peck's book, The Road Less Traveled.
I have only just begun reading this book, and I find his method greatly differs from my training with Irene Hickman, D.O.(1915-2002). She trained with William J. (Bill) Baldwin, D.D.S., Ph.D. when she was 78, and I met Irene in 1988, when she was 73.
On the inside of the front dustcover is the claim that Peck's book "... reveals the amazing true story of his work as an exorcist - kept secret for more than twenty-five years." Perhaps he was afraid it would affect his psychiatric practice or his popularity as an author. The book was his last book, and it was published in the year of his death - 2005.
Although he mentions hypnosis briefly while describing his therapy and exorcism with a patient to whom he gave the name "Jersey", his methods seem to me to follow his psychiatric training and religious models.
My training, with Irene Hickman on Bill Baldwin's model, is likely to produce positive results considerably faster. It also does not require a larger "team" approach, lengthy preparation or long duration of effort.
I'll always remember being introduced to a C.P.A. in the Indianapolis area in about 1997. He asked what I did, and I asked him what he thought I did. He thought about it for a moment and then said, "You're an exorcist." I was so astonished that I didn't even ask him what has caused him to make that guess!
