Finding True Magic

"This second edition of a truly remarkable work is well timed. It is difficult to comment in common terms on this uncommonly wise book, for it raises the whole idea of therapy to new levels of application and consideration. It is a book on Transpersonal Hypnotherapy and NLP, with a strong emphasis on the word Transpersonal. That word is bandied about with what appears to be little understanding by many, but Jack Elias, the author of this work knows and understands the realm of the Transpersonal very well. The result is a book that is no "bag of tools" for the therapeutic technician; it is a palette for the therapeutic artist; and, like all genuinely elegant things, it is both simple and easy to comprehend, yet full of real information and direction that is eminently practical. One doctoral student of American Pacific University gave me this feedback, "Of all the books on Hypnosis and NLP that I have read, I learned more from this one than from any other: it struck a harmonious chord with me, and I will USE it". Alexander M. Docker, DCH, Ph.D, Dean of Academic Studies, American Pacific University, President, American Board of Hypnotherapy

"... a superb book... truly comprehensive and eclectic in its intelligent presentation of transpersonal work. It explores philosophy, metaphysics, eastern wisdom and their relationship to hypnotherapeutic healing. If you do therapeutic work, you must have this book. If you teach, you and your students must have this book!" - Marilyn Gordon, CHT, 1997 Hypnotist of the Year Award, National Guild of Hypnotists

"Jack Elias integrates hypnosis and NLP with spiritual perspectives and principles from Eastern thought, and forms an approach which transcends both . . . Anyone who works systematically through the book, will find that any concerns over the ethics and morality of hypnosis or NLP, vanish. As NLP Practitioners, we especially value Jack's transpersonal insights into making the healing process a deep and far-reaching one. His processes do not only lead to healing, but also growth; verdant and lush growth, far beyond our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. We will use this book and Jack Elias' 'Finding True Magic' course to enrich our NLP practice." -Linda McGaughy & George Potter, NLP Practitioners, UK
