Dear Bruce
Thankup for all your help! Becoming (and staying) a non-smoler is something I have always wanted to do for a while now. You put me at ease and made me believe in myself. And your chair is very comfy!

Since I did hypnosis with Bruce I am able to say no without feeling guilty: am sleeping better; feel like a weight has been lifted from me; have been less sensitive emotionally and have been more energetic.
Thankyou Bruce

Hey Bruce,

Just thought I would email you on my experience with the Hypno birthing course we did and my thoughts on it…

I would recommend the Hypno birthing course for anyone who is about to have a baby…The way other women talked to me about their birth stories really scared me about the upcoming birth of my baby and made me very anxious about going into labor to the fact that I was very worried about it and had stressed myself about the labor itself.

I then did the Hypno birthing course with Bruce who put my mind at ease a lot. Bruce taught me excellent relaxation techniques and I put that into place when my contractions started, When a contraction begin I knew it was a moment closer to the birth of my baby and that the contraction would end soon. The way people talk about labor they make out you are in pain the whole time the labor begins to the time it ends, but labor is nothing like that, the contractions are painful but they end and you just need to relax yourself through them, which is where the Hypnosis Course showed me how to be totally relaxed. I had a very long labor 36 hours this was due to my baby having its hand wrapped around the cord so his head would not crown. But through the 36 hours I was relaxed and had a drug free labor and to me this was the main thing which resulted in my baby also having a drug free birth and being alert when he was born. I say thank you to Hypno Birthing without this technique it would have been a very stressful time for me and bub.
Thanks

Hi Bruce
After our first session I felt completely relaxed and was amazed that I was actually placed under hypnosis. I didn’t really feel any different during the ensuing week but perhaps slightly calmer about our impending flight. I actually think that I focussed on the holiday more than the flight also.

Hi Bruce
On the morming of our flight, I listened to the tape you gave me one last time.
Our flight was scheduled for 4pm that day. During the day, whilst I had some butterflies in my stomach, I did not feel nervous or anxious about the flight itself.
I was quite amazed at how I was feeling - very calm with a few twinges in the tummy.
When the taxi arrived, I checked my handbag for all the appropriate things, said goodbye to Chester (the hardest part of the day as it turned out) , left in the taxi feeling excited about going on holidays.
Even at the airport, as we stood in line to check our baggage, I was more excited than worried about the flight. I was still amazed at how calm I felt even when sitting at the gate waiting for our flight to be called.
The flight was called late, we went across the tarmac and found our seats on the aircraft - first row seats also helped I think as I wasn't crammed in.
I was still feeling excited - and not nervous one bit about the flight.
The aircraft started to taxi, the flight attendants were doing their safety checks and still I was as calm as anything.
Approaching takeoff, I was talking to my 'partner' and the fella sitting next to him. Upon takeoff , I leaned back in my seat and actually enjoyed it - I did not reach for my 'partners' hand at any stage, I did not feel nervous, I did not feel scared out of my wits as I had so many times. I looked at my 'partner' and could see he was totally amazed at my behaviour!
It was a two hour flight and at no point did I feel scared or anioux at all during it. I was relaxed ( could have been the Chanonnay I had) enough to have a drink and something to eat and chat away to my 'partner' nad the fella sitting next to him.
The landing was also not a problem. Once the plane landed - I got off and thought, with a huge grin on my face, that in 10 days I'd be doing the same thing without any fear - and quite a looking forward to the experience again (Just as you had said during our sessions)
The flight home The flight home was only slightly different. I did not have any fear or anxiety about the flight, but when the plane took off, I was a little concerned as it seemed like it took an age before we were in the airand high enough - and it seemed to stall for some reason - of course, it didn't - it just sounded like it had. I did grab my 'partners' hand for a brief moment and then told myself the the pilot knows what he is doing - it's fine. I then returned to normal and enjoyed the rest of the flight and the landing without a twinge of fear or anxiety. I got off the plane with te same silly grin on my face thinking this is fantastic!
It was a wonderful feeling not being scared out of my wits. Both my 'partner' and I are totally amazed at the results of your hypnotherapy sessions - I only had 2 and listened to the tape twice. Before these sessions, going on a flight, to me, was jsut a terrible proposition - I would be filled with anxioty, fear, nervousness to the point of passing out upon take off.
You know, on all of my other flights I used to say to at least one crew member that I was their 'Nervous Nellie' - jsut so that someone knew - I didn't even think about saying it this time - as I wasn't the least bit nervous! On the way 'interstate' I took a couple of ginger tablets - as I normally would before a flight for fear of airsickness. On the way back I decided that I didn't need them anymore.
I am now planning our next trip"interstate this year - and the plane flight is just a way to get there and not something to be anxious and scared about.

Thank you, thank you!

Thankyou for the opportunity to tell you how much I have benefitted from our hypnosis session.
During the session, even though I was a bit nervous to start with I found myself relaxing and enjoying the experience, especially the age regession.
After the session today I felt happy, confident, refeshed and contented, these feelings seem to be staying with me.

Since I began hypnosis with you and by continuing your hypnosis CDs I have had great benefit with decreased stress, anxiety levels much better and I am feeling far more confident. Each session helped re-enforce the statements given and helped break old patterns of negative thinking. I cant thankyou enough for your help and encouragement. I find the CDs are most helpful as an ongoing process. I would recommend you most highly for your dedication and your professionalism with hypnosis.
Kind regards and Many thanks

Hi Bruce,
Just letting you know the burn on my hand is completely healed.
As you know I burnt my left hand a week ago, the side of my hand was very red and sore with a blister staring to appear, the first EFT did take a bit of soreness away, the second took more than half the pain I was feeling, and the third EFT took the redness and soreness right out of my hand (when I remember I still can’t believe what I saw, it just disappeared) our fourth EFT I think healed the skin.
I always believed EFT was powerful; this is the second time (fear of snakes) that I have used it and both times it has proven successful.
Thank You

Bruce
Since my last session I feel more confident and have a positive approach to the that presented to me.
I feel more in control of my life and can focus on the things I need to. My head is not busy trying to think of negative thoughts but more positive ones and how I can do things a different way.
I can also remember more information and retain it longer which I find useful.

Edited Testimonial

Hi
I have been practising 7th-path for about 5 months. After 11 years of counselling I have found 7th-path and peace with myself. ......................
...................I have learnt to look deep within me and accept what has happened and accept that I can't change it. It's part of my life and I have to deal with it.
7th-path has helped me to forgive him, not to accept his act of control, 7th-path has help me to forgive myself so I can get on with my life.
I now have the knowledge to help my children and help them to get though their tough times. I handle this without fear, anger or guilt and with the courage I know that I possess.
My personal achievement from 7th-path is that I can forgive - even myself. I have gained freedom from the pass, I don't let old emotions control me, I feel confident, and happy with who I am. I sleep better, and interact better with family, relations, friends and workmates.
The Secret Language of Feelings did open the door for me, explaining the emotions that I was feeling. Every bad or negative feeling I felt I took as guilt, but I now know this feeling was sometimes anger, fear and sadness.
So thank you Cal for 7th-path.

Thank you Bruce for teaching me 7th-path

Special Notice: re 5 - n - 7th - path group

Hi Group

I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of this group. The amount and quality of support that you give one another is very gratifyingto watch. I believe it to be among the very best anywhere.

One of the most exciting things to happen to me this year is at the convention was to hear Dr. Damon announce to all of us at the Banyan Grads Annual Reunion Dinner, the night befor the convention, that the 5 - PATHers are now an officially recognised special interst group of NGH. I want you to know that the quality of this group had a lot to do with the NGH deciding to make us a special interest group. The NGH is impressed with both the quality of professionalism that is maintained by all of you. You should all reach around and give each other a virtual pat on the back.

What does it mean to be a special interest group(SIG)? We are the first ever recognised SIG for a particular system of hypnosis or hypnotherapy. The 5 - PATHers have been recognised as a membership that practices a valid and unique system of hypnosis. For me that is really something to be excited about. 5 - PATH has, in a way, become the NLP of hypnosis!

In addation, we are probably the fastest growing group of hypnosis practitioners in the world, and that says a great deal about you all, especially when you consider the level of hypnosis you are practicing. Being a fast-grown group in and of itself is very nice, but there is more to it than that. It would be easy to be a fast growing group if what 5 - PATHers did was simple and easy, but rather our brand of hypnotherapy is a sophisticated and powerful approach to hypnosis producing some of the best hypnotherapysts in the world! As a group, you guy are simply the greatest!

Thankyou for being part of my hypnosis family. I am proud to be associated with you and of the work that you do.

Keep up the exceptional work that you do!

First of all thankyou for a wonderful week. We have a word in the Maouri language called manaaki. Mana is literally translated as meaning prestige – aki is similar to awhi another word used that means to support. In essence manaaki is to support the development of others prestige. To put this into context only good people by heart are able to manaaki others. Bruce is such a person. This is my first hypnotherapy course and I am absolutely confident that I now have the skills and know how beyond direct suggestion to do a professional job. %-PATH is so well structured. It is absolutely fantastic.

Dear Bruce

Thanks for a great training workshop. 5-PATH Hypnotherapy has opened my eyes to how powerful this technique is. The information as well as the practice reinforced what we learned. After being involved with 7^th Path during the week I have noticed some fantastic changes. A simple and very powerful technique. Thanks for the great teachings and thanks for your dedication.

Sincerely

Thanks Bruce, great teacher, great product.

I think this s an excellent approach to learning the art of hypnosis. I feel the push to practice gives us the skills to feel comfortable about doing it.

I love the 7^th Path and how it works side by side. I love the insights gained to take life to the next step. Thankyou

Highly recommended.

Dear Bruce

Thankyou so much for a truly outstanding workshop. I now know everything that I had hoped to learn in other courses but did not learn. Your teaching approach is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of and the 7^th Path Self Hypnosis has changed my outlook on life in many ways I could never have imagined possible 2 weeks ago.

I would HIGHLY recommend your workshop to anyone that wants to become the best they can possibly be in this field.
