The Heart of Hypnosis and Deep Healing
In addition to the lectures, seminars and trainings he presents for universities, institutes, and professional organizations, Dr. Miller sponsors a series of trainings in the principles and the practice of Deep Healing.

There are three levels of the training:

The Heart of Hypnosis and Deep Healing:
Level I - A Professional Training, on DVD
This beautifully produced set of three DVDs is as relaxing and entertaining to watch, as it is intellectually illuminating. It was recorded at a live workshop and is enhanced with music and stunning visuals. You will learn an extraordinary set of clinical skills and a unique theoretical perspective that seamlessly weaves mental, physical, and emotional factors with a non-denominational spirituality to yield a therapeutic modality of unparalleled power and efficacy.

The set retails for $400, but is available during a limited introductory period for $150. Includes a complete manual of the course. Order from the office, at 530-478-1807.

The Heart of Healing and Hypnosis, Level 2
Although level 1 is highly recommended as a prerequisite, applications for admission will be accepted from those who are well experienced in relaxation and guided imagery techniques. Because Dr. Miller’s approaches are quite unique in their emphasis, listening to a recording of level 1 is highly recommended as preparation for level 2 for those who have not taken Level I.

In this session, we will work with your experiences in the use of the tools gained in level 1, with an emphasis on refining technique, achieving deeper trance states, the use of indirect suggestion techniques, applications to psychotherapy, EMDR, age regression analysis and spiritual alignment.

The Heart of Healing and Hypnosis—Level 3
In level 3 training, Dr. Miller offers further refinement and professional development, personal application of deep healing, and a focus on empowering each patient/client’s unique spiritual/religious/psychological paradigm. Also included is instruction as to how to catalyze transformation of one’s life in accordance with these principles, further work in age regression analysis, dissociative disorders, and applications to healing at higher levels, including primary relationship, family and community.
Diploma personally signed by Dr. Miller will be granted to those who successfully complete this course.

Healing the Healer Workshop/Retreat
Come healer, and be healed. Go out of your mind . . . and come to your senses. Deep relaxation, gentle music and movement to nurture and invigorate the soul. Dedicate this time especially to yourself. Stop giving and discover how to receive, to be renewed, and to be nurtured at that deep place within that inspires and informs your sacred work. Rediscover the source, your essence, and let it be richly nurtured.

Healing is to make whole, to clear the way for the deeper self to integrate and attune all levels of the system, to nurture that self and invite it to come forth and do this. The outcome is wholeness, esteem, joyful self-expression, creativity, and rich rewarding relationships with others and with the world.

Healers need healing too. Come; take this time just for yourself. Come, receive, fill your cup. Whether you are a physician, nurse, schoolteacher, healthcare worker, minister, parent or caring executive this is an important part of your work, and in doing it there is a great toll taken. In our giving to others we forget to give to ourselves, our reserves reach a low level and our ability to give is impaired.

• Enter through the door of serenity through deep relaxation, imagery, and music.
• Touch and nurture that essence that is our inspiration and source and potential.
• Reawaken the enthusiasm, the delight and promise of our path, or our mission.
• Examine those behaviors and perspectives, which serve as self-defeating patterns and the difference between care taking and care giving.
• Develop a new, healthier vision to carry forth and to inspire our work.

An unforgettable experience that will serve as a moment to renew, revitalize, to honor the source of healing and become whole again for yourself and for those you serve.

Deep Healing: The Essence of Mind/body Medicine
Deep Healing is a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual transformation toward a personal vision of wholeness, joy and love. This can occur only on a base of congruence, integrity and rich, passionate, fulfilling experiences in the world. The information age has brought the tools and techniques we need here to our doorstep; it is now our turn to kindle a Spirit worth guiding their use. Dr. Miller will share the experience and awe of his 25 years of clinical and personal practice and learning. Come and explore, experientially, the principles of personal transformation and Deep Healing.

Guided Imagery and Relaxation Techniques for Health Practitioners—Beginning and Advanced
This presentation will help participants gain skill in several techniques of inducing the relaxed state along with an understanding of the rationale for choosing one as opposed to the other. (To choose and utilize) Rationale for the use of imagery along with specific training in how to construct powerful imagery, how to encourage spontaneous imagery, how to work with the images produced by the patient/client, use of imagery to deal with specific mental, emotional, physical and spiritual imbalances.

Clinical Hypnotherapy—Beginning and Advanced
An introduction to the concept and history of hypnosis, basic induction techniques, producing, maintaining, deepening and terminating trance states, the use of auditory suggestions and imagery, self-hypnosis, use of hypnotic techniques for specific physical and psychological problems, hypnosis and spirituality.

Augmenting EMDR With Hypnosis
Dr. Miller will present his experience in the use of the tools of hypnosis–deep relaxation, guided imagery, direct and indirect suggestions, and Selective Awareness to enhance– EMDR and accomplish several important goals, including helping the client chose a target, providing tools for rehearsing new behaviors, terminating incomplete sessions and increasing rapport to name a few. Prerequisite: some experience in hypnosis and/or deep relaxation/guided imagery procedures. We will review the fundamental principles, and explore their application experientially and practically.

Presence and Love, The Heart and Soul of Deep Healing
Behavioral medicine has demonstrated clinically, and through controlled experiment the fundamental principles that underlie health (physical, emotional, mental, behavioral and relational). Interestingly, they are isomorphic with the basic precepts of the major spiritual paths/teachers.

Such values as respect, acceptance, honesty, integrity, love, equality and loyalty receive universal lip service, yet in our world they are honored more in the breach than in the performance. The culture-wide and profession-wide practice of denial and doublethink we spiritually abuse ourselves as well as those we serve.

In this training a variety of techniques will be presented and experienced, including the use of imagery facilitated by words, music, and movement to induce and utilize the healing state. Our goal, however, will be to transcend technique to achieve the actual inner experience of healing. You will learn tools for keeping this inner experience alive, and sharing it with those you serve.

Imagery, Recovery and Co-Dependence
The use of deep relaxation and imagery techniques provides a powerful alternative to the person who has become dependent on outside substances, outside people, or upon the approval of others. In this presentation we explore the nature and origin of co-dependence, the nature of origin of addictions, and various techniques are presented which are designed both to heal the inner wounds as well as to change external behavior in relationship to people and things. The use of deep relaxation and imagery for accessing the higher power is explored.

Practicum trainings (1-3 days)
Opportunities to further refine and enhance your techniques and therapeutic skill; an opportunity to be directly observed and critiqued by Dr. Miller and your colleagues.
