Training -- Internationally Acclaimed for 20 years
Based on the internationally acclaimed book, FINDING TRUE MAGIC: Transpersonal Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy/ NLP©, courses take a heart-centered, spiritual approach incorporating hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic processing, and meditation techniques rooted in 3,000-year-old traditions.
“I came to Jack's Level One 150-hour training in Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP with over 500 hours of hypnosis certification training and with a Practitioner-level certification in NLP. Plus, I learned lots of techniques in other hypnotherapy and NLP trainings.
But I didn't know what to do when my techniques "didn't work" with one particular client or another.
After reading Jack's book and taking Jack's course, I no longer have to rely on techniques. I can simply deal with whatever emerges.
What I learned from Jack went beyond techniques. I now understand why all the techniques I learned work in the first place. The greatest gift was discovering that being bound to "techniques" is the biggest TRANCE of all. Taking Jack's course is like the opportunity to learn Kung Fu from Bruce Lee.
Get Jack's book. Read it several times. Take a training with Jack Elias. It doesn't matter how experienced you are or what you think you know.”
Paul Skavland, CHT
"I highly recommend Jack's course to ALL my former students, and anyone else who wants to become a better therapist. I took Jack's course in 1993 and found that it transformed both my life and my career. I started doing hypnosis as a teenager. When I started his course (at 34 years old, and just out of Marine Corp Avionics) I was an unhappy part-time Hypnotist who knew how to do a lot of techniques.
One of the most important things I learned from Jack is that techniques alone don't make someone a therapist.
After his course, I was a HypnoTHERAPIST, who within a year left an unhappy marriage, finished my RN degree, became a fulltime Hypnotherapist and started teaching.
If I am a good therapist today, it's a direct result of my having taken Jack's course.
Every week, for one reason or another, I refer back to his text book, Finding True Magic. I'm still amazed at how much is in there and how valuable it has been to me. Thank you, Jack!"
Michael Gershman RN, BCH, Former President, WA State Chapter, National Guild of Hypnotists, Certified NGH Hypnotherapy Instructor
"Of the five nationally recognized hypnotherapy trainings I have been certified in, my time with Jack Elias has been the most valuable. His gift to you is so much more than just hypnotherapy, NLP, or psychoanalysis. You are exposed to just about everything in hypnotherapy that is known to work with great heart, spirit, and humor."
Putnam MacDaniel, Transpersonal Clinical Hypnotherapist, Former President, WA State Chapter, National Guild of Hypnotists
The Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP© Certification Courses offered by the Institute for Therapeutic Learning (ITL) have had an excellent track record with an international student body since 1988. The mind/body, holistic approach of these trainings is appropriate for personal growth as well as for professional training. We offer Certification Courses in both Live Training and Distance Learning (Independent Study) formats. All of our certification courses are recognized and honored by the National Guild of Hypnotists. The Course Curriculum and information for both Live Training and Distance Learning Certification options is given in our free Course Catalog.
The basic text for our trainings is Finding True Magic by Jack Elias, CHT, Founder and Director of ITL. The book has received enthusiastic reviews from medical doctors as well as members of the hypnotherapy/NLP professional community. Finding True Magic is used by many schools throughout the United States in their advanced course offerings.
"I have just completed this book and the entire certification course in Finding True Magic. I have found it one of the most inspirational and enlightened learning processes, if not the most, in my life to date.
As a hypnotherapist with a strong interest in the spiritual aspect of life and the combination of both, it was important that I find a course that could offer me in-depth learnings in spiritual philosophy coupled with sound common sense and practical application of psychotherapeutic practices. This I found with Jack Elias's profound intelligence in the subjects of both eastern and western philosophy and hypnosis.
The book is fascinating, inspiring, inspirational and informative from the Preface onwards up until the very end. Quite simply, it makes you stop and really think about how you live your life, how you process your thoughts, how you do whatever you do in everyday life. Not only do you learn as a hypnotherapist new approaches, and new perspectives, you fully take part in the process of spiritual enlightenment and development as you progress with the book and the course. It is impossible not to.
It explores the ego in great depth and Jack's style, from the excellent certification course which accompanies this book, is entertaining, gripping, jaw-dropping and highly knowledgeable.
For the new hypnotherapist, there are some excellent scripts as guidelines which incorporate the transpersonal side of hypnosis, and for the experienced hypnotherapist, it is a chance to really enhance the transpersonal knowledge and improve your current practices by understanding more thoroughly the power of the egoic mind.
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous and a real life changer!! 10 out of 5!! For anyone reading this -- go do the course. The book is brilliant but it is a fraction of what the rest of the course can really guide you to discover."
Caroline Cousins, CHT, UK
What You'll Learn
The FINDING TRUE MAGIC Courses in Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP© are stimulating and challenging. It is common for people to experience profound changes in themselves and their consciousness, including: physical healing, weight loss, smoking cessation, release from traumas, anxiety and panic attacks, compulsions and addictions, and more. The approach is holistic, spiritual, and clinically comprehensive — practical and down-to-earth. It focuses on deep spiritual cognition: principles and insights underlying a variety of transformative techniques such as hypnotherapy, NLP, and shamanism. With these understandings as a foundation, the course emphasizes achieving competency with traditional approaches, and developing the ability to generate spontaneous elegant technique from one's own personal capacity for creative genius.
Hypnotherapy Certification
Recommended for students interested in making hypnotherapy their career: 300 hours of certification training. We suggest completing 150 hours of live onsite training and 150 hours of distance learning (independent study) to complete the 300 hours. Students may also complete the 300 hours of training entirely by distance learning (independent study) or entirely by onsite live training. CEUs are available for all certified and non-certified programs.
TWO CERTIFICATION TRAINING OPTIONS:
(1) Live Onsite Certification
(2) Distance Learning (Independent Study) Certification
If you need help deciding, experience the power of our course material by purchasing the "Introduction" CD and the "Test the Waters" Options below:
Introduction to Transpersonal Training
This CD is CD #1 of the Distance Learning Course. It is offered at the request of training graduates who have told me that no written description could do justice to the power of the course, nor to the "funny parts!" They told me having this CD would have made their decision to commit to on-site training and to distance learning a lot easier.
Therefore, if within 30 days of purchasing this CD, you (1) enroll in an on-site training or (2) purchase 'Test the Waters Option I' (Phase I of the course), or, (3) if you purchase the entire distance learning course, the cost of this CD will be credited towards your tuition or new purchase. CD #1 - $25

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP© is a radical synthesis of Eastern and Western views and techniques applied to the art and discipline of transformative communication. It weaves together depth hypnosis, regression therapy, past-life therapy, inner child work, subpersonality and archetypal transformational processes, neuro-linguistic processing, Ericksonian hypnosis, quantum hypnosis, entity releasing, shadow work, comprehensive treatment planning, and more.
These trainings were originally designed to provide certification in the practice of Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP©. In addition to the Certification Option, the Institute for Therapeutic Learning also offers a Non-certification Option. Certification trainings include personal homework and test assessments as well as personal tutorials with Jack Elias, CHT, whereas the Non-certification Option consists solely of personal study with the Distance Learning (Independent Study) Audio/Video materials.

Distance Learning (Independent Study)
6 Phase Curriculum
Below is a partial list of topics covered in each phase of the course. The per-phase course option should be taken in sequence, as the material is not strictly compartmentalized from phase to phase. For example, NLP and Ericksonian principles and their correlation with transpersonal perspectives pervade the entire course. It is important to experience the flow and development that moves through the class from day to day.
What may look basic or elementary in this outline may not be elementary for you at all because of the integrated transpersonal perspectives brought to bear, based on the instructor's 35+ years of study and practice of Eastern meditative traditions. These new and unusual perspectives are what make the course suitable even for trained hypnotherapists who may look at the curriculum headings and think, "I've already learned that." Since 1988 many highly trained hypnotherapists, NLP practitioners and traditionally trained psychotherapists have been happily surprised at the new depth of understanding and competency they have achieved by taking this course.
NOTE: Two prices are listed below for each Phase:
1) NON-CERTIFICATION OPTION (noted as NCO) prices. Non-certification prices are for the study materials only -- no consultations with Jack Elias are included.

Introducing the newly revised second edition of Finding True Magic."I have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend Jack's course to colleagues, anyone in the helping and/or health professions, and anyone who is interested in deep healing, growth, or personal transformation for self and/or others. This is work that can change the world — both inner and outer."
Julie Hurlocker, MD, Diplomate American Board of Family Practice
"I graduated from your course in 2002. It's now 2008 and I still find your hypnotherapy training to be the most comprehensive and stable system I have seen. I fall back on your book time and time again."
S. Rayback, CHT
"The course is excellent. It contains a degree of depth and substance I could never have imagined when I first read about it. The time I've spent on this work has truly been transformative, and I feel very confident in my resulting ability to assist others in the healing process. I can't say enough about this course and the quality of the teaching — I would recommend it to anyone who wants to change his/her own life and help others do the same."
D. Hess, CHT, Graduate of FTM Distance Learning Certification Course
"I've been loving my work as a hypnotherapist... when I took your Summer Intensive, I wasn't sure if I'd apply it in a professional practice, but I opened my office in '03 and with just a yellow page listing the clients keep coming! It's been a fun, interesting, challenging journey.
I recently received a call from an older gentleman, a retired hypnotherapist. He was preparing for a double knee surgery and wanted to minimize blood flow at the points of incision during surgery. He also wanted to prepare his body to accept the anesthesia (he has allergies) and to minimize swelling and control pain while resisting infection during his recovery. I told him that I wasn't experienced in pre-surgery hypnosis, that I'd never done that before. I felt a little intimidated... here he was, an older, experienced hypnotherapist and professor, coming to me, a newbie, for something so "serious." But he decided he wanted to work with me anyways.
His doctor and nurses kind of rolled their eyes when he told them he was preparing with hypnosis but they were totally amazed by his results! He used 85% less blood than the average patient during his surgery and he used about 1/2 the pain medication during his recovery. He's healing faster and easier than most patients and doing much better than expected, and his doctors and nurses are "believers" now. They want me to give talks at the hospital and they're thinking about opening a hypnosis unit there. They said, "We should be doing this for every patient." And the new patient referrals have already started coming in. He was such a delight, and I learned so much through the experience.
I thought of you while I was preparing to work with him.... how you always encouraged us to be spontaneous and imaginative and to allow ourselves to be surprised. So I just rolled with it, remembering it's not really "me" doing any of this after all. I feel really blessed. "
M. Miles, CHT, Summer 2003
