Close your eyes. You’re getting very sleepy. You can hear nothing but the sound of my voice. When I snap my fingers, you will be in Palm Harbor, attending a workshop that coincides with World Hypnotism Day, a worldwide campaign for benefits of hypnosis. Debbie Lane, 2007 International Hypnotist of the Year, is on hand at Oak Trail Books to dispel some myths about hypnosis (no, you won’t cluck like chicken) while teaching you how to use the power of your mind to relieve stress and “create a healthy money mind set and eliminate fear of recession.” Sounds like the kind of trance we could all use in these tough times. Fri., Jan. 3, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., 1219 Florida Ave., Palm Harbor, 727-785-1960.
