Its the time of year when we at Talking Cures Training review our course material. The course has been running for several years now, but we do like to keep it current and update it with any cool new techniques we have learned and used ourselves.
I'm surprised to see that we are still one of the few courses to take a holistic view to Hypnotherapy; and the only course of this level to combine shamanic techniques with NLP and Hypnotherapy.
The feedback we receive from our students tells us we are delivering what they want in a useful and practical way. Still, as I said, we do like to be able to add in that little bit more where we can.
We are also looking at a new venue. It will still be in the midlands area, within easy travelling distance from Leicester, Nottingham and Derby. We will keep you up to date with this exiting new development.
We are also aware that in these challenging economic times, people are looking for good value for money and to that end we are keeping our prices very competitive and our classes small.
So, why not visit our website at www.talkingcurestraining.co.uk and let us know what you think.

A few words on Karma
Every once in a while I come across a client who blames most if not all of their misfortune on karma. Effectively what they say is 'it's my karma to - be afraid, have a phobia, be overweight, be depressed, or whatever. At its root, this stance misunderstands what karma is.
karma is not some sort of divine judgement, nor is it a punishment. In fact, karma has no relationship to good or bad because these are mere value judgements ascribed by people, who will often disagree what good or bad is anyway in any given instance, or at any given time.
It is better to view karma as being related to flow and balance. In being related to flow, it is similar to the law of attraction which states that whatever you focus your attention on, is what you will attract. Serge Kahili King also mentions a similar idea when looking at the basic tenets of Huna (Hawaiian shamanism) in his book 'Urban Shaman' - 'energy flows where attention goes'. Its relationship to balance invites us to address those issues that do not serve us well and look to see how we can refocus our attention to move us away from distress and towards happiness.
Viewed in this way karma becomes dynamic and a force for change, rather than fatalistic and a way of abdicating responsibility for the state of our lives. karma opens the possibility for choice and change rather than denying it.
Of course, as ever, this is talking cures training's own idiosyncratic view of the subject - but what do you think?
