Look who’s back!
It may seem as though we’ve been quiet, but lots has been going on behind the scenes as we prepare for this year’s UK Hypnosis Convention… We are just about to notify those who applied to present at this year’s UKHC. We had an unprecedented number of speaker applications this time around and the full 2026 schedule will be announced shortly – it will be our biggest and best event yet. The discount code EARLYBIRD is only available until the schedule goes live and gives a 15% discount, the biggest discount available for the 2026 event will cease to be available from then.
In the meantime, I have a couple of announcements to get you excited.
Firstly… We are thrilled to welcome back the one and only Paul McKenna to the 2026 convention – he will be presenting a 90 minute workshop on the main stage on Sunday afternoon (the 15th), let me tell you about it…..
Paul McKenna is going to demonstrate how three modalities work together in synergy – hypnotherapy, NLP and Havening (the new psycho-sensory technique). Not only will he explain how the combination of these three approaches is greater than the sum total of their individual parts, but he will demonstrate this as well.
Many people are familiar with hypnotherapy and NLP and how the use of language and visualisation can achieve behavioural change. Havening is a relatively new therapy, based on neuroscience , that works extremely well in treating trauma, depression, pain and anxiety, and when combined with the other two modalities, produces a super-therapy.
In Havening, the brief activation of a distressing memory combined with visualisations and sequences of repeated touch to specific parts of the body can have a rapid, reliable and predictable effect on our being.
As a result, in a matter of minutes, we can now reduce the intensity of an emotion or feeling of unhappiness and establish a calmer state that can support resilience.
In addition, certain brain waves are associated with different functions in our lives. Beta waves are associated with being alert and focussed or anxious. Alpha waves represent a state of relaxed alertness. One wave synonymous with really deep relaxation – the holy grail that we are all after in terms of therapy and healing – are delta waves. Delta waves are produced when you are deeply asleep, in meditative states, and when Havening.
