Dr. Stone teaches two classes per month at the Discovery Center and two classes in the spring and fall at the Latin School. Please contact the Discovery Center and Latin School for the current class schedule:

Lose Weight Through Hypnosis

"How did you lose all that weight" is what your friends will ask after you take this course. Your unconscious mind already knows how you are going to peel away those unwanted pounds. Dr. Stone helps you access your unconscious intelligence, knowledge and wisdom so you can accelerate your weight loss. If you have said "I"m too weak to lose weight," or "I don"t have enough time to eat right," or "I can"t stop myself from eating" enough times, eventually your unconscious will have accepted these negative statements as truth. The cure for negative self-hypnosis is positive self-hypnosis. If you hypnotized yourself to gain weight, then you can hypnotize yourself to lose weight. "In 1983 I lost 50 pounds using hypnosis," said Dr. Stone, "and I have not gained any weight back since."

Stress-Management

"Stress plays a role in every disease,"claimed Dr. Hans Selye. What are you waiting for? Learn how to manage your stress before it develops into a serious problem. Some stress comes with every job, relationship and family, and since you can"t avoid stress, you must effectively manage it. After taking this course, you"ll know how to get rid of the negative energy of stress so you can get more joy out of your work and relationships. Did you know that it is your reaction to stress, not the stress itself, that causes physical and emotional disease? Your same mind and body that reacts to stress in a harmful way can also respond to stress in a relaxed way. Even more important, in this class you"ll learn how to stave off disease through proven stress-management techniques. Instead of your stress managing you, you"ll manage your stress after you have completed this course.

Food, Mood and Energy

Do you feel happy and energetic one day and sad and tired the next? Do you have cravings that you can"t resist? Do you have unstoppable chocolate, candy or ice cream binges? Do you desire balance, moderation and harmony? Then come to this class and learn how your feelings and energy fluctuate with your diet. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the Western way to look at food. The Far East has a much different perspective. Food has a nutritional effect, but food also has an emotional, intellectual and spiritual effect. Learn an ancient approach to diet, one that takes into account all aspects of nourishment. Why do some people get sick when exposed to viruses while others don"t? Genetics, of course, has something to do with it. Food, lifestyle and stress also play a role in your body"s ability to resist disease. Dr. Stone will explain an ancient approach to a stronger immune system to help you prevent or recover from disease. It"s never to late too learn a healthy new recipe for food, mood and energy.

Stop Smoking Through Hypnosis

Turn your desire for cigarettes into ashes as you end your dirty, expensive and self-destructive habit. Now you can easily quit smoking by activating the most powerful aspect of your being‹your unconscious mind. As a non-smoker, you"ll put an end to your smoker"s cough, cigarette smoking stench, shortness of breath, sinus problems and cancer fears. This class helps you with more than quitting smoking; you will also learn how not to replace your cigarette habit with some other undesirable habit, such as overeating. As a healthier ex-smoker, a happier former smoker and a calmer non-smoker, you will taste, smell and enjoy the world in a much better, cleaner and more natural way.

Healing Through Self-Hypnosis

Can you imagine having a leg amputated or a tooth pulled without any drugs to numb the pain. Surgeons have performed countless operations while the patients only dulled their pain with hypnosis. You too can learn hypnoanesthesia to help you reduce or eliminate your pain from backaches, headaches or cramps. In this course, you learn how to manage your physical and emotional pain through the proven methods of hypnosis. "Hidden in the unconscious mind is the reason for and meaning of the pain," said Dr. Stone. "If I help clients discover the reason or meaning behind their pain, often patients cure themselves." Hypnosis can also help the immune system fight diseases such as cancer and AIDS, and, of course, hypnosis helps the nervous system offset the harmful effects of stress. You can use hypnosis to allay the fears of an impending surgery, medical test or childbirth. Discover why hypnosis is one very effective way to maintain your mental and physical health.

More Money Through Self-Hypnosis

Are you satisfied with the amount of money you earn? Do you want to earn more? Hypnosis is a time for introspection and self-examination, two life-affirming skills that help resolve deep-rooted money issues. Put an end to poverty mentality, an unconscious mind-set that keeps you from earning the amount of money you deserve. Learn how to increase your earning potential, invest more wisely or find the job you"ve been dreaming about. Hypnosis is defined as a "state of extreme concentration." In this class, you learn to use hypnosis to concentrate on creating your wealth and living in a world of abundance. Whether you are self-employed or work for someone else, this class will benefit you.

How To Breath and Relax

Are you tired of swimming upstream? Learn how to relax and achieve results the easy way. You"ve been breathing since the moment you were born, but have you ever consciously examined how your muscles, lungs and spine move when you breathe? Improper breathing ultimately affects every cell in your body since every cell needs oxygen to function. Learn how the sound of your breath indicates whether or not you are breathing properly. As you improve your breathing, you automatically improve all of your other bodily functions. As you continue to relax your body through deep breathing, your mind slips into an intuitive alpha state. Now you can peacefully wait for inspiring ideas, images and insights to spontaneously appear, or you can induce positive thoughts and pictures by using proven visualization techniques. Learn how to trust your instincts and apply your imagination to get what you want. Since you always have to breathe, you"ll learn how you can change your physical, emotional and mental state by changing your breathing patterns.

Past-Life Regression

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you won"t want to miss this course: Do you ever think that you have lived before? Do you feel that some of your current relationships began in another life? Do you have an illness or problem that you attribute to a past life? Do you believe your present job is related to what you did in a previous life-time? Past-life regression provides answers and relief that no other method can. In this class you"ll learn about life between lives, your current life"s lessons and why you chose to reincarnate. This is an experiential class; each student will have at least one opportunity to privately recall a past life. BYOC (bring your own candle) This course offers a quick, inexpensive way to get in touch with your past lives!

Sacred Cycles

From the moment you were born, cycles have been influencing your life. There is no way to escape the effects of cycles. The heart-beat, breath, brain waves, hormones and gastric, kidney and immune system regulation all occur in cycles. Of course, every person must also contend with environmental cycles, such as the lunar cycle, rain cycle, rock cycle, solar cycle and the cycle of the seasons. In this class you will learn about your personal cycles, including your cognitive-emotional cycle, the alternating nasal airflow cycle, right-left human brain dominance cycle and your ultradian cycles, which are physical and emotional cycles occurring within 24 hour periods. According to Dr. Stone, the purpose of all these ubiquitous cycles is emotional, intellectual and spiritual development. "If you missed something last time around, because everything cycles, you always get a chance to learn it next time around," says Dr. Stone. In this class, you learn to apply the nine new cycles first described by Dr. Stone. If you ever thought your life seemed to revolve in cycles, then you will find this class fascinating.
