Course description:

Foundations in Integral Studies
This course is based on the vision of Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama whose background spans religious studies, philosophy, psychology, biology, and an understanding of Western and Eastern paradigms. From this experience, Dr. Motoyama developed a holistic study of human life, which includes body, mind and spirit, intended to bridge different paradigms of thought and to foster the harmonious realization of a global society. The course introduces students to this integral view of life.


Devices for Human Subtle Energy Detection (Bio-energy Devices & Research)
This course will elucidate the physical mechanisms of the operation of a number of different devices and to reveal the physical energy/subtle energy interplay in the overall device operation.


Counseling and Communication Skills
Conducting beneficial counseling requires specialized attitudes and abilities on the part of the therapist. This course emphasizes the fundamental aptitude for active empathic listening and responding by the counselor. This course addresses the skills associated with the task of grasping the point and meaning of communication As these skills are also relevant to life coaching the life coaching course fulfils the requirements of the course.


Positive Psychology: The Art & Science of Happiness
The rapidly expanding field of Positive psychology combines neuroscience research with the study of human well-being and self-actualization.  It provides an antidote to the emphasis on negative emotions and psychopathology found in traditional Western psychology as it focuses more on character strengths, spiritual connection, mindful awareness, life purpose, cultivation of virtue and wise choice.  Various components of happiness, such as pleasure and joy, are examined, as well external supports like sufficient money, right work, exercise, healthy environment, good companionship and social interaction.  The course entails self-examination and experiential application of the principles in one’s life, leading to a greater understanding of how we are motivated and sometimes misled by the “pursuit of happiness” and what that means to you.

 
Kabbalistic Spirituality using Mussar and the Bonny Method
Mussar
is a spiritual perspective and discipline of transformative practices which is accessible to any spiritual path or tradition.  A thousand-year-old discipline of Judaism, it is a powerful process which works at our core essence, so that its wisdom and applications are universal and timeless.  Spirituality is often referred to in vague generalizations.  Mussar is a specific and comprehensive practice of how we become aware of ourselves inwardly and how that translates in outward behavior and relations.  Its purpose is the discovery of our own unique gifts and how we bring them into the world; and, in by doing so, we and the world become whole. BMGIM uses specially designed programs of music which combine with the person's own inherent creative process to evoke emotions, sensory images, physical sensations, memories and thoughts. The music experience reflects the self, personal relationships, feelings, and life experiences. This brings to consciousness new awareness, leading to significant personal insight into therapeutic and life issues. Further, the music taps into deep transpersonal levels of consciousness, bringing experiences which move beyond insight to deep existential and spiritual healing and transformation. This is a perfect vehicle for mussar practice.  This 4-day experiential workshop will provide participants the opportunity to discover their own inner “spiritual curriculum” through the BMGIM process, and the mussar practices which can be incorporated into their daily lives.  This workshop provides the opportunity for clergy, theological students, chaplains and other spiritual leaders and guides and those doing psycho-spiritual work with others of all faiths, to do their own inner work in a safe environment.  As a result, they will learn how to create sacred space in which to do “holy listening” with others.

 
Judaism
This course is intended to shed historical light on the beginnings of Judaism, with special attention to its geographical traits and relationship of the Jewish people with other races. Points to be covered include: The reason for praying to Yahweh, formerly the god of the storm, as the only God and the Creator; the reason for the absolute distinction between God and humans; and the reason for the development of the dogma concerning the creation of the universe and eschatology. Doctrines of Judaism and its characteristics as a community religion, explanations on Mosiac law, the Kabala (Judaic mysticism), and the role and meaning of their prophets will be discussed.

 
AMI Basics (Introductions to AMI Research)
This course will present the basic introduction to utilizing the AMI as a tool for rigorous scientific research. Administration and interpretation of results will set the foundation for further experimentation with the AMI. A laboratory fee of $120 is required. (4 units)


Introduction to Qualitative and Quantitative Research
The two main methodologies will be reviewed: firstly qualitative research, based on phenomenology, explores the nature and meaning of phenomena using interviews, observation or records. The approach is inductive and hermeneutic and aims to develop concepts or theories. Quantitative research is essentially deductive and confirms hypotheses using statistical analysis. It is used mostly in experimental and correlation designs to establish relationships between variables. Steps in the research process for both approaches will be reviewed, focusing on sampling, collection and analysis of data.
