This is a video I made for the Wisdom Hypnosis web site. The International Association of Counselors and Therapists presented Debbie Lane, C.Ht. of Palm Harbor, Florida, with the prestigious "Hypnotist Of The Year" Award in 2007. Her website is: www.wisdomhypnosis.com
I encoded the file with windows media encoder to try to get as close as possible to the specs in the Video Quality- Video Publishing Tips: 640x480 bitrate 280. . Still not happy with the results. Is this typical?Here is the video embedded in a webpage and you can see the difference in quality:

Wow- so many comments recently- thank you all.
We shot the video in one afternoon. Most of the time was in preparation, script writing and then editing. Ooh the fun I could have with the out-takes! (but I promised).
Erica-- You are right that you can't be hypnotized if you don't allow it. Ms Lane, the hypnotist in the video spends a great deal of time getting to know her clients and preparing for the actual hypnosis. . I am amazed at how thorough she is revealing not only the main reason the client is seeking her assistance- but the underlying issues that keep them from success. Also, some people I am told, may have control issues and she puts them at ease (as much as they will allow).
There is an audio on her site for STRESS RELEASE to focus on relaxation and put you at ease...(if you permit)
