Peter Blum

Peter Blum lives in Woodstock, New York.

His work for almost 4 decades has focused on two areas: neo-Ericksonian hypnosis, and shamanic sound healing. His book, TranceSonics - The Vital Link Between Sound Healing and Hypnosis (2018) reflects his pioneering work in these two fields, both separately, and where they overlap.

As a Certified Instructor for the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) since 1993, he has trained and certified hundreds in the art of hypnosis. After completing extensive study of the world’s major spiritual traditions, Peter was ordained as an Interfaith Minister in the seminary program of the Foundation for the Living Earth in 1995. Peter considers the practice of hypnotherapy to be a spiritual art form.
