Distance Learning Independent Study Audio/Video Tape Programs

The Distance Learning Independent Study Certification Program has been approved for credit on a case by case basis towards undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral degree programs at several universities. We will assist you in creating a proposal for your school.

As described in the hardcopy catalog, 300 hours of certification training, 150 hours live on-site and 150 hours by independent study, are recommended for students interested in making hypnotherapy their career. There are also options to complete 300 hours entirely by distance learning or by on-site live training. CEUs are available for all certified and non-certified programs.

"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, M.D., Diplomate American Board of Family Practice

"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. Thank you."D. Hess, CHT, Distance Learning Graduate

"I have known Jack for 30 years as a fellow meditator. I recently have had the opportunity to work with him on 2 very important personal issues, and I can truly say his insight and skillfulness as a hypnotherapist is quite remarkable - in fact, astoundingly direct. He transmits the wisdom of the meditative tradition in an easily comprehensible way. I am looking forward to learning his methods for use with my own patients." James Sacamano, MD, FRCPC/ABPN, Consultation and NeuroPsychiatry

"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 Hypnotherapist

"I'm learning more about my trances and more about staying present than I ever imagined I would from a course about hypnosis. This stuff blows my mind. You were right when you said that this tape course has a transformative power. This is what I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing with me your peace and wisdom."J.S., Distance Learning Student

Below is a partial list of topics covered in each Phase of the course. The per-Phase option should be exercised in sequence since 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 my 30+ 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 therapists have been happily surprised at the new depth and breadth of understanding and competency they have achieved by taking the course.

"This course is magic itself. Through Jack Elias' deep and gentle ways, I was able to get in touch with so much about myself that had escaped me in my years of studying and practicing spirituality. Listening to these tapes provokes an almost immediate change inside, a new way of looking at everything. I had heard it all before, read all the books, did all the exercises, but it wasn't until this course that I really experienced a true peace. The course is full of useful ways to experience, and show others how to experience, all the eternal truths that are so slippery and elusive. Thanks, Jack." Chuck S., Distance Learning Student
