Level 3 teaches the "art" of being a healer. It's one thing to know how to paint and quite another to be a painter.
Level 3 will transform your practice from one of techniques to a canvas of healing energy that will heighten the color palette of your energetic senses, expand your experience of life around you and create a deepened sense of sacred space and well-being for those who reach out to you for Healing Touch work.
This class focuses on your development as a healer through self-care and pre-session practices. Utilizing these concepts you will also be introduced to several new techniques that will continue to expand your understanding of the human energy field and how it manifests in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.

The Power of Your Awareness Webinar
Instructor: David J. Fiala, MSSA, LISW
Go beyond Mindfulness - to The Power of Your Awareness. This is a holistic approach to life that integrates the mind, body, and spirit in a conceptual and experiential manner to significantly increase your awareness of life. It takes you through a unique process by teaching you how to be more conscious of what’s transpiring inside of you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Subsequently, you learn and experience the critical importance of implementing, in addition to practicing, various internal skills as a way of life. These practical life skills then give you a foundation to overcome even the most challenging situations. The skills are easy to learn and implement – regardless of the challenges you are facing. Specific teachings guide you in learning how to maintain a relaxed state of being and a quiet mind, all the while being truly connected to your Heart. The seminar places great emphasis on living life from the perspective of, “I can do this. I can do whatever it takes.” This webinar will provide you with the necessary theory, practical demonstrations, and discussions to assist you in integrating the material. By learning these simple concepts and skills directly, you will then be able to easily teach them to others.
Aside from the opening session, each session begins with a brief review of the previous session’s material and homework. Homework assignments are a combination of written assignments and a practice of various personal skills presented during the session. A Discussion Board provides you with the necessary support to answer all your questions.
Class Fee: $279
Format: Teleseminar
Dates/Times: At your discretion. It is a webinar and does not contain live instruction but can be pursued at your own pace. Once you register, you will be provided a link and code.

Quantum Science for Energy Healers: A Practical Guide
Instructor: Jeannette Nienaber, BSc., DipEd., ProfBacc., MEd., HTCP/I, ATP®
This course lays the groundwork and/or acts a refresher for a solid understanding of the basic scientific concepts used in modern science and energy medicine. The course begins with a review of what is meant by electricity, magnetism and electromagnetic induction. It then flows into the quantization of light energy and the development of the quantum model of the atom and its implications. Each concept is presented in an interesting and informative manner with demos and visuals used as much as possible to facilitate a solid understanding. Although mathematical formulae will be shown to support the coursework, their discussion will be primarily descriptive and serve as an anchor for discussion. The concepts are built upon each other in a cumulative manner, and when applicable, their relationships to Healing Touch techniques are described through stories and examples. This will empower the Healing Touch practitioner with the skills of explaining their work within a valid scientific context. Interwoven throughout this presentation will be the philosophical thinking associated with each concept and how new research forced scientists to find alternative ways of explaining what they observed in the laboratory. Famous scientists and their discoveries about light, sound, energy and the atom etc., will be also be integrated within a historical context and as a means of developing an understanding of the current philosophies and scientific research. The final session will examine how String Theory, Fractals, The Field and Entanglement impact our old ideas regarding the structure of the matter and the human body. This will then be extrapolated to provide supporting explanations for how Healing Touch can shift energy and transmute matter to promote healing, as well as, provide the balance and harmony we all desire to attain.
Class Fee: $250
Format: Teleseminar
Day: 1 day a week for 5 weeks
Dates: Wednesdays October 13 - November 10
Time: 4:00p.m. - 5:30 p.m. PST
CE Contact Hours: 7.5
