Hello Friends, I began hypnosis full time in 1986 and created SleepNow
Productions, Inc. Since that time it rapidly became one
of the world's foremost sites for hypnotic information, hypnotic training, hypnotic
products and for professional hypnotic entertainment. I know you'll enjoy the site and I look forward to assisting you during your quest for hypnotic realities!
I am constantly working to stay abreast of the latest developments in the mind sciences and create hypnosis programs that are ground-breaking and futuristic. I believe you'll enjoy what I've done. As always, if you have any great ideas please feel free to drop me a line.

Biography of Spencer
Don
Spencer first induced hypnosis at the age of 12. His young
"girlfriend" at the time was being hypnotized by her father
who was in the military. She taught the young Spencer the art of stilling the mind. He would sit quietly with her head on
his lap. Rubbing her temples and having her count backwards she quickly
entered a deep somnambulistic state! The astonished Spencer gave her
directions. The teenage boy likened the experience to an exaggerated
Simon Says.
TRAINING Spencer never forgot that experience and over the
years was drawn to books and classes, movies and people that hovered
on the edge of the mysterious. His curiosity led him to formal educational
studies in philosophy, psychology, physiology, abnormal behavior and
comparative religion. Alternative studies that captivated his attention
and lifestyle were shamanism, metaphysics, hypnotism, NLP, kinesiology,
and theater.
HYPNOTHERAPIST 1986 - Spencer began his work as a Hypnotherapist.
His most influential teachers at the time were Charles Tebetts, Ormand
McGill, Jim Russell, Al Krasner and other notables to numerous to
mention. He began his associations with the leading certification
bodies of the day. He developed the Hypnotism Training Institute of
Idaho in 1989, Hypnotism Training International in Utah in 1991, the
Personal Achievement Center for private consultations and morphed
into SleepNow Productions, Inc. SleepNow went online in 1994 as a
leader in hypnosis information and technology.

SPENCERsays... that there is nothing magical or mystical
about hypnosis. An individual can be hypnotized without even realizing
it. In fact, people slip in and out of hypnosis all day long. Hypnosis
is based upon the power of suggestion with the addition of relaxation
and concentration.
SPENCER says...
that his subjects can be hypnotized in less
than one second!
