Testimonial – Change your thoughts, change your world.

“Jane Ann helped me tremendously.   I came to her with my life long issues and marriage problems, including post-traumatic depression from the loss of my grand-father when I was a child.  My parents got divorced, and I was devastated and had cultural shock when we relocated  to the U.S. from Asia when I was a teenager.

For years, I carried feelings of deep anger, despair, low self esteem, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide, plus my marriage of eight years was falling apart, in addition to all this…I had my three year old daughter to take care of.

Before I saw Jane Ann, I was unable to think clearly; my ability to work was deteriorating.  I was increasingly withdrawn from my social circles and family.  All the problems I had were increasingly intensifying and my life was turning for the worst as time went by.

I came to see Jane Ann Covington at the Hypnosis Institute International School when all other conventional treatments had failed to help me.  Using and switching through different psychologists and anti-depressant medications was not effective for me. On the other hand, Jane Ann was very understanding, with vast insight in problem solving and counseling. I allowed my self to trust her and participate in her techniques and with her personalized for me self hypnosis recordings and interactive self visualization.  In just a few visits, I was able to come out with a different perspective for my inner issues and marriage problems.

Jane Ann gave me new knowledge, showed me how to think outside the box that ultimately helped solve my own problems and deep fears that had for years seemed impossible to do.  I am now happily divorced and stay on good terms with my ex-spouse. We are helping each other raise our little girl cooperatively and lovingly.

I also over came the problems that I had mentioned earlier; taking control of my own life and living in healthy ways.  My experience with Jane Ann was wonderful, she’s both professional and kind.  Thanks to Jane Ann, I am confident to say that I’m capable to over come any obstacles in my life, I feel truly blessed from my learning experience with her. Instead of being self critical, I can now be good to my self, my family and everyone around me.  Best wishes always.”

Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Classes Start September 9, 2011

What to do? Stay stuck in a RUT or Grow into your passion to make a real difference helping others? Start 9/9/11 in Atlanta

• Do you feel unfulfilled; feel that you could never move beyond your current level of effectiveness because you think you need to stay with what you “think” seems available or reasonable to you?

• Are you burned out, bored with your current career path?

• Maybe you, like me, enjoy helping others, but don’t know how to do it in a way that allows you to create a business that funds your lifestyle….

1975 was the year that changed my life forever and for the better. It was when I first experienced hypnosis and hypnotherapy. I became free to act according to current conditions, instead of reacting according to old unconscious patterns that had been unconsciously holding me back. My life then began to soar in a direction that allowed me to achieve my goals.

Can you say “Yes” to any of the following?

• Do you want to learn from a teacher that can teach anyone how to become masterful at providing effective hypnotherapy and other techniques that help others succeed in their life, while making a good living?

• Are you working as a physician, nurse, therapist, caregiver, clergy, teacher, coach, consultant, or are you seeking a fresh career (where you can be your own boss) working in a field that makes a positive difference?

• Do you want to become self-actualized, develop mind mastery, make more money, have fun, gain respect and prestige?

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy may be the right path for you and offer you what you’ve been looking for.  Since1995, I have been teaching folks who are interested in hypnosis these invaluable skills on how to help others, and get paid handsomely for it.   Click on Learn Hypnosis above to get more information.  Classes start soon!! Limited number of students for best personal coaching from me, Jane Ann Covington, BA, CCHT, RBT (36 years training and teaching).

Jane Ann Covington’s Insight #1 – There is Nothing Wrong With You!

Welcome to the first in a series of 10 practical and helpful insights about life, success, and the power of the mind!  Check back next week for Insight #2, or simply fill out a web form and we will add you to our regular mailing list.  Enjoy!

Insight #1: There is Nothing Wrong With You!

What we learn growing in our environment may not be the truth about our self, our future, or what’s possible for us. History leaves holes in the fabric of our personal experience that can get us into situations that cause us problems, big problems, or just as bad…hold us back from our higher potential!  And, it doesn’t just happen for children or teenagers …it can happen to us at any age.  I was convinced that there was something “wrong with me”.

By age 5, I knew things weren’t right in my dysfunctional family, yet I had no power to speak up, much less do anything about it. I knew I needed help. I dreamed of being capable and available to get help and learn to help others.

Finally, by age 27, with the help of skilled professionals, I discovered there was nothing wrong with me. I discovered a whole new way of looking at myself, others, and life. I gave myself permission and freedom to intentionally find the specific help I needed to fill in those missing gaps of knowledge and skills that I hadn’t gotten growing up! I then promptly made it a point to learn and practice the missing skills right away.

Who you think you can be may be more limiting than what you are truly capable of becoming. I had tried to get help through traditional means, but that didn’t work for me.  My personal transformation came through specific education, hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and coaching.  For how could I possibly help others if I could not be helped myself?

And, it took another 13 years, to figure out my specific calling, the way for me to help others.  That’s what I get to do every day now…help people succeed!  I have devoted the last 36+ years learning, using, and developing processes that help people in short term therapy using the skills of hypnosis, hypnotherapy, education, and coaching.  You can be helped too to become your authentic self and find joy, passion for life, and inner peace, self confidence, coming to know that you are more than you ever knew you could be.

The subconscious can and will hold you back, but it can also be retrained to be the servant for good for the you that you’ve always wanted and deserve to be.  Call to schedule a free 20 minute consultation with me personally (in person or by phone or by Skype) to discuss your situation and let’s talk about creating a strategy to assist you in moving toward a more fulfilled life in every way, as quickly as possible. It will be my pleasure to serve you and help you discover “There’s Nothing Wrong With You!”

Best regards,

Jane Ann Covington

Mayo Clinic Reviews & Summarizes Prior Hypnosis Studies

A review study of over a hundred clinical studies of hypnosis for medical procedures documents that hypnosis is beneficial for allergy, anesthesia for pain, anesthesia for surgery, warts, dermatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, peptic ulcers, abdominal surgery, healing from injury or surgery, hemophilia, hypertension, headaches, childbirth, asthma, smoking cessation, fibromyalgia, impotence, and urinary incontinence.

“Many important trials reviewed here have helped to establish the role of hypnosis in contemporary medicine.  These trials have established the utility and efficacy of hypnosis for several medical conditions, either alone or as part of the treatment regimen,” writes Stewart, JH, Department of Internal Medicine and Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Jacksonville, FL, Mayo Clinic Proceedings 2005; 80: 511-524.

How Can Hypnosis Help Overweight Adults, Teens and Children?

The most significant and fundamental part of any weight issue is in the emotional basis for the out-of control feeding frenzy behavior that comes after negative feelings, coupled with low self-esteem – all in an attempt to feel better (get it: comfort food?).  Being overweight is rarely all about bad eating habits or addictions to food.  As I have noticed over my many years of working with individuals:  All addictions are an attempt to give to ourselves.  The point is:  There’s nothing wrong with giving to yourself, you just need to find healthier and more effective ways to do it.

The reality is that feeling better is the least of their problems.  Addictions are an unconscious behavior (driven by the subconscious mind).  In the end, those negative emotions that are felt and negative self talk that is so rampant are as a result of how they think of themselves, how others think of them, leaving them in a clinically depressive and anxious state that takes them back to those bad habits in order to feel better again–all in an attempt to give to themselves a better feeling.

See the cycle? If you are overweight, you most likely know the cycle and see the painful results in the mirror or when you’re out trying to buy something to wear that looks flattering on you.  It is so hard to accomplish this goal and is often never achieved.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, is the one process that can help reprogram your mind, emotions and behavior to feel better and behave in ways that will change your body by changing your mind.  Hypnosis is not magic or an instant fix, unlike what is shown on TV or in the movies, but it can help easily and quickly change years of those old habits.

Yet, if change is possible, as hypnosis research strongly indicates, the retraining of the mind and emotions being the key, and must be reinforced for long-term success!  Desire, participation and time are what I’m talking about – together with an effective
certified clinical hypnotherapist – can be the key to open up and create a new you, a healthier you, a happier person who can find the size he/she was meant to be.

You Think Smoking Relaxes You? Try Hypnosis!

What’s the Problem? There are at least 4,000 ingredients in every cigarette. Around 500 of them are known to be toxic and/or poisonous causing vast, often devastating stress to your body and brain.

With all those ingredients and toxins, your immune system is constantly called upon to work hard to help you survive.  In time, your immune system becomes overloaded and stress, illness, and eventually death occurs.  This does not really sound relaxing, does it?

Do you really think your body wants you to smoke with all those toxins and poisons ingested?  When you really think about it, it even sounds crazy that your body would crave nicotine (which is one of the poisons and is used as an insecticide), acetone (nail polish remover), ammonia, lead, butane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide (rat poison), and hundreds more.

When you really think about it, it’s more of a habit that typically began as a teen.  You decided to smoke and you forced yourself to do it…telling yourself all the while that it was a good thing (like your friends told you it was).

Smokers like to smoke, but our society is getting smarter. Most people realize that smoking is a danger to their health, their environment, their longevity and long term quality of life.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 400,000 premature deaths per year occur due to this habitual pattern.  And, a smoker’s life expectancy is 14 years less on average when compared to non-smokers.

Tobacco use is the single largest cause of preventable death in the United States.  Yet, cigarettes are heavily marketed in the U.S. and the tobacco industry spends more than $37 million marketing dollars per day on average.  Why?  Because they are in it for the money; no doubt about that.

Habits, any habits, can be changed if we want to or if we know it’s possible to.  Many people quit smoking every day and more and more research studies are proving that hypnosis is the most effective method out there.  Just like when you decided to smoke, you trained and forced yourself to smoke.  If you learned that, you can learn to be a non-smoker again.  After all, it is your natural nature to be a non-smoker.

When done well, hypnosis is a concentrated form of learning.  Our program is organized to help retrain your mind, and therefore your behavior, easily, without stress or withdrawals.  After all, why would the body be addicted to poison?

Of course, to some this sounds crazy because society has been hypnotized into believing that smoking is an addiction that has more to do with the body than the mind.  Your mind is your most powerful tool.  Just like it helped train you to be a smoker; it can help you become a non-smoker with the support of effective hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

Remember, Breathe………oxygen is a natural relaxant and an energizer at the same time.  It isn’t called the breath of life for nothing.  Every time you smoke, you deprive your body and brain of 50% of the oxygen it needs to function on.  Becoming a non-smoker is a very good idea.  If you want to know more about how that can happen for you easily, just call and ask.

How to End Obsessive Behaviors

©2010 Jane Ann Covington

In our life, anyone can learn to be obsessed with something or someone. Most people with these symptoms had family members with similar patterns and they were passed down to the next generation (not by genetic encoding, but by example).
Definition of obsess: (verb) preoccupy or fill the mind of (someone or something) continually, intrusively, and to a troubling extent seemingly powerless to resist.
What doesn’t work: If I just figure it out, then I can control it. Why this strategy isn’t a strategy that works is that the patterns are in the subconscious and the “figure it out” is in the conscious mind. The subconscious mind always wins the battle in the end by replaying that old unhelpful obsession or addiction, until the underlying causes or unconscious beliefs are changed (by hypnosis and hypnotherapy).
Bad habits can become Obsessions, and when taken to the extreme, can eventually be classified as OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). This pattern is similar to an addiction to something or someone. The underlying cause(s) of these seemingly out of control patterns tends to be an immature perspective, neediness, out of control emotions or anxiety, brought on by perfectionism coupled with a lack of self-esteem or an overindulgence in self-esteem.
All addictions are an attempt to give to our self. There’s nothing wrong with giving to ourselves or making ourselves feel safe, secure, and comfortable. However, we need to find appropriate ways to accomplish this in order to remain healthy, balanced, and appropriately in control of ourselves.

The key to get out of this seemingly never-ending cycle is two fold:
1) To address these bad habits/patterns in the consciousness mind through education about your mind (which hardly anyone has ever been taught how their mind actually works and how to work it to your benefit), and then practice using this understanding appropriately
2) Confront and reeducate the subconscious mind with masterful hypnosis and hypnotherapy to clear unhelpful beliefs and patterns; becoming open to reinforce new beliefs, patterns, and strategies.
Coming at the problem from these two angles, helps develop effective skills that dissolve the old unhelpful patterns, in order to regain control of your mind, behaviors, freedom and your life.
Some areas that must be addressed include: 1) make a plan/strategy (broken down to doable, manageable processes) to take back control; 2) set limits; 3) develop skills to redirect your mind to healthy, helpful thoughts and behaviors.
Finally, as we first mentioned, we can’t always make changes ourselves. Just understanding why we do something doesn’t usually make it go away. Successful people ask for help. We’re here to help! Our success rate using my personally developed methodology process is 95%.
