Heal yourself ~ help to heal others
Natural Spiritual Healing is the primary therapy. Historically healing has been spoken of as the invoking of God or of the spirit within the person. During society’s development healing has been taken for granted, while the emphasis has been placed upon drugs, herbs, manipulations or other therapeutic interventions. Now it is the time that we should once again work directly, in a scientific way, with the fundamental power of healing.
For this work the highest training is needed. Firstly, the future practitioner must have a mature outlook on life, be committed to their own spiritual progress, and desire to play their part in bringing more light, love and understanding to all they contact. This is the training given by life itself. Secondly, there must be the knowledge of how to let the healing power work through one for the benefit of all without any hindrance by, or manipulation from the practitioner. And thirdly, there must be an understanding of how imbalance leads to disease, how healing may take place and the many ways that a person is supported in this process.
The course is divided into separate graded modules, consisting of five weeks over approximately 18 months, including an independent assessment. Upon successful completion, a diploma is awarded entitling the qualified healer to use the following after their name, for professional purposes: DipNSpH.
The Self Realization Meditation Healing Centre is a training college accredited by ISRHA and has trained students in the rapidly developing science and art of Healing for many years.

Individual guidance for students is an important part of the course structure, to bring forward and nurture their development. We recommend that students come for regular Healing Refreshers to aid their development. Advanced Healing courses are held to further develop these skills, and are offered to students who have reached a level of proficiency in their Healing Practice.
In depth Pure Meditation and Progressive Counselling courses are also offered. We see Meditation as an essential part of a healer’s training. Progressive Counselling complements the practice of healing and is recommended as a separate module.
The Self Realization Meditation Healing Centre is committed to providing the best possible Healer Training and as such is always reviewing the current state of the profession and the needs of the patients and healers in this changing society.
The courses we offer are kept up to or in excess of any expected standards, so that when the standards are ratified and qualification awarded, the Centre intends to be able to have its students achieving these qualifications without needing extra tuition.
Next intake: February 8 - 21, 2009

Help others resolve conflict ~ gain greater self-awareness
Outstanding professional training for individuals and organisations
This training gives the opportunity to take counselling to a highly advanced level. It is for those who wish to help others effect positive and life enhancing changes: to assist their individual growth and personal development in every way.
We see Progressive Counselling as an intuitive art, requiring a great depth of wisdom, understanding and unconditional love.
Emphasis will first be placed on deepening the intuitive awareness of students, on learning ways of identifying the subtle ego and its reactions, and on releasing conditioning and emotional preferences. Only those who desire progress within themselves will be able to assist with Progressive Counselling in others, for this counselling is healing in a very deep and real sense, touching the spirit as well as the physical, emotional and mental levels.
Training will be carefully paced and monitored by the tutors, with the individual’s progress very much in mind. The course will consist of six intensive training weeks; three consecutive weeks in each of the first two years, with a final assessment week in the third year. Assignments, both written and practical, will be set in the intervening periods. Ongoing support from the tutors will be available during the course and afterwards, as necessary.
