First and foremost, Frank and I (Ginny) are expecting! A new granddaughter (Scarlett) in December and a new great grandchild in April. To help you figure out the math, our three children range in age from 50 to 35. Our 10 grandchildren range in age 25 to in utero. They fill our lives with enough love and laughter to more than compensate for the challenges life insists on sprinkling along life’s path. To mix metaphors: Our glass is more than half full.

For those of you who have in the past found me on FaceBook, please know that I’m no longer in that loop. Too loopy for me, lol. Seriously, it simply became too burdensome on many levels. You can always reach me through our Website, or by direct e-mail at docgin@egreen.net.

At last! Our CD to help smokers break the habit is now available to the public in Spanish! (Dejar de Fumar.) We are fortunate to have a lovely daughter-in-law who is bilingual and whose voice is very soothing, which enhances the effect of hypnosis. Simultaneously, Frank’s quieter voice is in the background in English. If you know anyone who can benefit, please refer them to our web site: www.egreen.net. Gracias.

PayPal is now installed on the web site, which makes it easier to buy our products. (Anything we can do to help --) Hypnosis CDs are $14.95 (we pay shipping & handling), and include:

Self-confidence and Self-esteem

Inner Journey is a guided meditation for healing physically and emotionally. FRANK used it nonstop when he was bedridden with pneumonia years ago. JAMES used it more recently when he sustained a serious burn covering the palm of one hand (which now shows no sign of the injury). They both swear by this CD, and we’ve received many favorable reports from others who have used it as well.

Breathing 101 is relaxing, enjoyable and it offers five levels of breathing exercises that reduce stress, increase energy, improve lung capacity, lower blood pressure, and yes -- help with weight loss! Everyone knows that with appropriate intake, excess fat is flushed out of the body through urine and excrement; however, many people don’t realize that deep breathing, every day, can increase weight loss by about 2%.

Our next CD will cover Study Skills & Exam Anxiety. If you have an idea for another topic, please reply to this email and include your name to receive a free CD if we accept your suggestion.

Books available on our Website include:

Charming Children - How the Relaxation Game Helps Good Parents Raise Great Kids (Also on Amazon and in Barnes & Noble)

My Traditional Yoga class begins again at UOP at the end of August. By “traditional” I mean that I am a purist. I teach Yoga the way it was taught throughout history -- before it became Americanized/commercialized. I once had a visitor observing my class, who spoke to me afterwards saying with a beautiful East Indian accent, “This is the first class that to me feels like Yoga. In fact it was for me like a visit home.” The semester-long UOP class is for credit through the Sport Sciences Department, but let me know if you’d be interested in sitting in. It meets on Tuesdays 9:30-11:00 a.m.

James, Frank and I want to thank all of you who have invited us to meetings that welcome speakers. We truly enjoy sharing interesting information with others and we love the positive feedback we receive. We’re now scheduling for late September, so if you’d like to arrange a presentation let us hear from you and we‘ll be more than happy to oblige.
