Healing with the Human Energy
Field (Oct 18, 25; Nov 1, 2008)
This Centralia College class is taught in three parts once
per quarter at
Evergreen Healing Arts Center. The cost for the series of all three parts is a real
bargain at only $90. Advanced registration is required, and payment can be made by check, cash
or credit card to Centralia
College (call 360-736-9391, ext. 331 or 483 for registration details). Suggested
text for all three Parts is Healing
Body, Mind & Spirit (ISBN 0-7387-0398-2) by Howard
Batie. This book was selected as the Best
Alternative Health Book published in the US in 2003, and is still used as a
reference textbook for Nurses' Continuing Education classes. It is
available at Evergreen Healing Arts Center
at a discounted rate when you sign up for one of my classes. It is
also available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other booksellers.
Part 1 - The Human Energy Field (October 18, 2008). The Human
Energy Field is discussed and described in terms of acupuncture meridians,
chakras (energy centers on the body), and the five overlapping energy bodies
that comprise the human aura (physical, etheric, emotional, mental and
spiritual). Students will learn how to sensitize their
hands and fingers so they can locate and feel the energy of chakras and the
subtle energy bodies. Students are also taught how to use a pendulum to
gain energetic information from the chakras. Six of hours instruction.
Prerequisites: None.
Part 2 - Introduction To Energy Healing (October 25,
2008).
Recent trends in alternative therapies are discussed from the
perspective of the American Medical Association and also the National
Institutes of Health. The nature and causes of both disease and health
are presented from the perspective of the Human Energy Field. Learn how
energy-based healing techniques significantly reduce pain and accelerate the
healing process for both traumatic and chronic conditions. Experience
and learn how to provide healing energies using three different modalities:
Reiki, Healing Touch, and Karuna Reiki. Each technique is demonstrated in the
class with student participation. You will be taught several Healing
Touch techniques that you can use to rapidly remove pain and accelerate physical healing for
yourself and for others. Learn how to prepare for healing sessions and how to incorporate energy healing into your nursing/caregiving
routine. Ten hours of instruction. Prerequisites: Part 1 or
Instructor's permission.
Part 3 - Advanced Healing Techniques (November 1,
2008). Become
acquainted with advanced energy-based healing techniques that specifically
address the higher levels of the Human Energy Field. Advanced Healing
Touch procedures address the physical and etheric
bodies to promote physical healing. Hypnotherapy, Regression Therapy,
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and
Ro-Hun Transformational Therapy are discussed and compared in their ability to
bring about healing on the mental and emotional levels (release of emotional
issues and "baggage"). Specific techniques that address the spiritual energy body --
the Inner Light Consciousness Meditation technique, Ultra-Height® and Life
Between Lives Therapy -- are discussed and demonstrated as appropriate.
Eight hours of instruction.
Prerequisite: Part 2.
Reiki I For Caregivers
(October 4, 2008)
Each Reiki I class provides attunements,
instruction and practice in the use of both Japanese and Western styles of
Reiki. Once attuned, the student is able to immediately transfer this
gentle but very powerful healing energy through their hands. Instruction
is provided to allow the caregiver to transfer this healing energy for removal
of pain, acceleration of healing after an injury or disease, and to restore
health and energetic balance on all levels of their being. The history of
Reiki as a healing technique is discussed, and practice time is allowed for the
student to become familiar with the way healing energy feels as it is
transferred to another person. Reiki is an ideal and very effective
technique for relaxation, healing and overall balancing, and is safe for use on
all living things -- humans, animals and plants; it is also safe for use on
people of all ages from newborns to elders. No prior knowledge of healing
techniques is needed, and a very complete step-by-step manual will be
provided. Cost of the class is $150, and it will be taught by Howard Batie,
Reiki Master-Teacher. Suggested text is "The
Spirit of Reiki: The Complete Handbook of the Reiki System" by
Walter Lübeck, Frank Petter and William Rand. Advanced registration
is required, and payment can be made by check, cash or credit card to Centralia
College (call 360-736-9391, ext. 331 or 483 for registration details). For
driving directions to Evergreen Healing Arts Center,

website.
Self-Hypnosis For Relaxation
(November 8, 2008)
Are you over-stressed and can’t relax?
Hard to get to sleep at night? Wake up and can't get back to sleep?
Then this class is for you! An
introduction to the basic principles and elements of hypnosis is provided to
acquaint you with both the capabilities and the limitations of the practice of
hypnotism. You’ll be guided to
experience progressively deeper states of relaxation through both guided imagery
techniques and hypnotic suggestions, ultimately resulting in a very deep state
of hypnotic self-relaxation. You'll also be instructed in safe and
effective procedures to achieve this state of deep relaxation all by yourself
whenever needed. No
prior hypnosis experience is required. Classes are taught
by Howard Batie; he is a Certified Hypnotherapist by
the National Guild of Hypnotists and is Registered with the Washington State
Department of Health. Cost is $70, classes are small, and pre-payment guarantees your reservation.
Advanced registration is required, and payment can be made by check, cash or
credit card to Centralia College (call 360-736-9391, ext. 331 or 483 for
registration details). For driving directions to
Evergreen Healing Arts Center,

"Healing
Touch in the Home" Training (October
11, 2008)
Sometimes called "Second Aid," this one-day
training program is designed for Moms & Pops, caregivers, family and friends,
and will teach you how to quickly relieve pain and accelerate the healing
processes in others and in yourself without the use of drugs or any equipment
other than your hands and your energy field. Nine
specific Healing Touch techniques that reduce pain, release stress and anxiety, to accelerate
the healing process are taught. These techniques require no medical training
or energy knowledge,
and are very easy for anyone to learn (my grandchildren really like to use the
ones that quickly take away their own pain!). Classes are $70 per person,
advanced registration is required, and payment can be made by check, cash or
credit card to Centralia College (call 360-736-9391, ext. 331 or 483 for
registration details). For driving directions to
Evergreen Healing Arts Center,
see the "Driving Directions" page on this website.
Healing Touch in the Home is taught in a series of
three modules:
Level I - Basic Pain Management
Techniques (for self and others) (2 hours)
Level II - Stress and Anxiety Release
Techniques (for self and others) (2 hours)
Level III - Advanced Healing
Techniques (acceleration of healing) (4 hours)

Reiki Practice Sessions
Students who have received at least the First
Level Reiki
attunements from any school of Reiki are welcome to attend the practice sessions held at Evergreen
Healing Arts Center at 7-9 pm, normally on Thursdays of
each month, except the fifth Thursday if there is one. Currently, the
first and third Thursdays of each month are for Level I Reiki practitioners, and
we practice primarily the hand position sequence taught by Mrs. Takata and the
hand scanning techniques taught by Dr. Usui. The
second and fourth Thursdays of each month is for sharing and wide-ranging
discussions among my students for all levels of Reiki, Healing Touch, Kathara
Healing, and other energy healing techniques offered at
Evergreen Healing Arts Center. This is a great way to
continue networking within the healer community. There is no charge for this service.
Personalized Healing Instruction
For many chronic
diseases and conditions, several energy healing sessions may be required over an
extended period of time. Instead of coming in for repeated healing
sessions, it may be more convenient and less expensive to become trained in a
few specific healing techniques that can be administered at home whenever
required. Personalized one-on-one instruction in
specific healing techniques and pain management and anxiety release techniques is available to care givers and family members of
clients who require a long-term energy healing program. See a further
description of the Touch Therapy healing techniques that anyone can easily
learn. Contact the Evergreen
Healing Arts Center for further information on this program.
