13 MARMA POINT THERAPY - 10 LESSONS Course code - GMARMA Marma point therapy is the ancient Indo-Tibetan counterpart to acupressure in Chinese medicine. Historically, however, marma point therapy is the oldest of the two great oriental energetic therapies. The word marma means vital energy point and refers to unique points of energy located throughout the human body. Each marma has a receptor point on the skin that correlates with specific chakras, organs and tissues through which prana (vital energy) passes. Marma points are treated much like acupressure points in that we can apply pressure to these points in order to stimulate, inhibit or rebalance the body s organ networks and thereby assist the restoration of health and wellbeing. To this end, marma point therapy also employs a number of medicated herbal oils, essential aromatic oils and other balancing oils to thoroughly harmonise the body s energy. This course will introduce you to the practice of marma therapy and Indian head massage. Both of these techniques emerged within the broader context of Ayurvedic medicine, and as such, this course will also include a basic overview of Ayurveda itself. Here, our aim is to emphasise the fundamentals of the Ayurvedic approach to bodily, mental and spiritual balance. By approaching marma therapy and Indian head massage in this way, you will establish a firm foundation for understanding these practices in their proper, holistic contexts.

15 NATURAL THERAPIES CONSULTANT - 14 LESSONS Course code - GNATTHER Naturopathy is the science of treating illness through natural means rather than through pharmaceuticals and invasive surgery.

16 REFLEXOLOGY - 20 LESSONS Course code - GREF Reflexology is the art and science of approaching the parts of the body as a mirror of the whole body. This course draws upon a synthesis of eastern and western holistic approaches, from zone theory to Taoist meridian theory. In this course you will learn first and foremost about foot reflexology because the feet are the most sensitive and accessible treatment points. You will come to know all the major physiological systems of the body from a western medical perspective and how these map onto the feet. You will also come to know the basics of the vitalistic or energetic approach to the body as understood by traditional Chinese medicine.

H o l i s t i c H e a l t h a n d L i v i n g SHIATSU - 12 LESSONS Course code - SSHIA With its roots in the ancient Chinese traditions of acupressure, shiatsu is a hands-on form of energy therapy developed in Japan. Applying firm, rhythmic pressure to the body s energy meridians, shiatsu improves health by unblocking and rebalancing the body s vital currents. Numerous factors contribute to the stagnation of energy: lack of exercise, poor diet, alcohol, drugs, and stress. This course shows how such imbalances manifest either as Jitsu (excess of energy) or Kyo (deficiency of energy). More importantly, it will teach you how to use pressure points ( tsubos ) for both diagnosis and treatment. As you develop these skills, your ability to treat others will extend from the simple relieving of pain and discomfort to preventing deeper seated illnesses through rebalancing the tensions and toxicities of the body. Complements: Vibrational Medicine, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Oriental Remedial Therapist, Acupressure Human anatomy and physiology Subtle/energetic physiology Primordial polarities: yin and yang VIBRATIONAL MEDICINE - 20 LESSONS Course code - GVIBMED Vibration is the formative force of nature. It is manifested most clearly in colour, sound and music but it is also the force which underpins the physical structures of all natural bodies, from the most subtle right down to the most physical. By understanding the vibrational principle you will understand how to tap into the deeper dynamics of all the therapies that are based on vibration. Vibrational healing can take many forms but all are based on the principle of balancing the polarity of the body: positive-negative, yin-yang, heaven-earth, heat-cold, head-heart, mind-body, masculine-feminine, the list goes on. All of these are a manifestation of vibration. The material we will look at in this course will cover a range of traditional and alternative therapies based on subtle energetics: the invisible, vital energies which underpin and shape physical things. The theory is simple; subtle energy interpenetrates and shapes physical matter. If the physical matter (i.e. the body) is out of balance, this is an indication of a higher, energetic imbalance. Rather than treating the physical effect alone, vibrational medicine seeks to treat the higher, invisible cause.

20 C o u n s e l l i n g a n d P e r s o n a l D e v e l o p m e n t DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY COUNSELLING - 6 LESSONS Course code - GDYSFAMC No family consciously makes a decision to become dysfunctional and do harm to its members, but it happens depressingly often. Through its maladaptive behaviours, the dysfunctional family develops a set of restrictions that inhibit the social and emotional growth of its members, particularly the children. You can break down these restrictions and allow family members to grow independently and together, by counselling them with skills you will learn in this course. Where marriage is concerned there are often unrecognised forces at work, and frequently there is an irresistible and harmful attraction to a past, negative memory. You will be trained to guide your clients through the rough patches, and lead them to a family environment of love, tolerance, fun, and structure.

Employees are turning to mood altering substances and prescriptive drugs more than ever before, as they struggle to reach even higher levels of productivity with a downsized task force. In an attempt to tackle this worrying trend, companies are now investing in stress management consultants who specialise in Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP).

This course will enrich your life with a new perspective with which you will be able to alter the realities of your own life, and guide others to do the same. This branch of humanistic psychology emphasises the importance of experiencing life without castrating it by immediate historical reference and justification.

30 BIOCHEMICAL TISSUE SALTS - 6 LESSONS Course code - SBIOTIS According to two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling, every sickness, every disease and every ailment can be traced to a mineral deficiency. When Dr. Schussler researched cell salts almost two hundred years ago, he found that the body s capacity to utilise nutrients is impaired when there is a tissue salt deficiency. Moreover, when the body is lacking in these essential minerals, disease or abnormalities are sure to follow. Health symptoms are therefore merely distress signals: the body s warning that one of its fundamental constituents is missing. Only once it is restored, can the body return to its normal, healthy condition.
