Murray is a certified, master hypnotist who performs stage hypnosis at many private functions each year, but also has an avid interest in therapeutic hypnosis: specifically, building self-esteem, memory enhancement, phobia removal, past life regressions, focus, and stress management. "My interest in hypnosis goes back nearly thirty years when I had the opportunity to work backstage with Vance Romane - Canada's premier hypnotist." Murray is the founding member of Writers' Ink - The Red Deer & District Writers Club and recently edited their 10th Anniversary anthology. He is an active member of the Red Deer Self-Esteem Society and has sat on the board. Recently, he launched a new workshop series entitled "Extreme Esteem" using self-hypnosis to build self-esteem and resolve life issues.
