James R. Ramey, a professional member of the American Counseling Association (ACA), is the Master Ultra Depth® Facilitator/Educator and a Registered Hypno-Anaesthesiologist.  He is also an author and a international lecturer who has been teaching for nearly 35 years.  He is the founder of Ultra Depth® International. James was trained by the late Walter A. Sichort in Blackwood, New Jersey.  His studies with Mr. Sichort began in 1974 and continued through 1982. 

James being the only person with exclusive permission from Mr. Sichort to use and teach his material,  worked extensively to develop a system which he could teach to other practitioners. This would enable them to help their clients to experience such things as increased self-healing, true local and general anesthesia without suggestion.  Now, ten years later with the system fully developed, James brings this remarkable system to practitioners worldwide through live five-day trainings and his distant learning course.

Now home based in Asheville, North Carolina he enjoys traveling throughout the US and to other countries providing training in the Ultra Depth® Process.  James has been and is still conducting intensive research with the Sichort State.  He has also done extensive research in regression and has found that using the Ultra Depth® Process enables the client to experience a more profound regression than when using traditional techniques. The technique institutes true depth and facilitates greater effects upon the individual's consciousness. 



A personal note from James:

Many individuals ask me from time-to-time, "What is the Ultra Depth® Process?"  My reply is that, Ultra Depth® has been called by accepted authorities in hypnosis as the most astounding and little known discovery of our time.  The Ultra Depth® Process is a tool that actually facilitates direct and powerful communication with our "Higher Mind" — what we refer to as the Subconscious part of our mind. The Ultra Depth® Process helps an individual to gain a new and different understanding of the role of the Subconscious in our daily lives. You will begin to know the potential Subconscious has to partner with us to achieve powerful healing, both physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Ultra Depth® was first discovered in the mid 1960s by Walter Sichort of Blackwood, New Jersey while working with his first assistant Mary Borgessi.  There, at his Institute of Relaxation, he later worked with his partner Sarah Zane teaching classes in hypnosis and continued to make profound discoveries into the human mind and brain.  Much of his and Sarah’s work was validated by Doctors Dolman and Markow of Philadelphia.  What Walter called "Ultra Depth®", we now refer to as the ‘Sichort State’ in his honor.  Walter never actually taught the Ultra Depth® — he just demonstrated it with Sarah.  It was left to me, as Walter’s apprentice, since 1974 to create a system for reproducing the three levels of ‘depth’.

In more than a decade, powerful and effective therapeutic applications were developed.  In August of 1997, Walter Sichort granted his only seal of approval to my work that he and I started years before. Since that time, in partnership with Kimberly Miles, the work has been refined and through practice integrated into the current training.  Ultra Depth® Process provides practitioners with oriented tools that will yield powerful results that are beyond what most have ever experienced before.

It is my belief that the Ultra Depth® Process is beyond traditional hypnosis and has the potential to create major and positive shifts in our consciousness and awareness in the process of life and living.  I would even go as far as to suggest that working with Subconscious is perhaps a back door to world peace.  It is when we understand and experience the true nature of our Subconscious that we will begin to treat ourselves and our neighbors with honor, integrity, respect and dignity.

Thank you for your interest.
