Course Description /Objectives

Course descriptions are taken directly from CIHS' catalog. Please note: Each instructor has the academic freedom to create a syllabus and curriculum in line with the goal and objectives of the course according to his/her preference and professional expertise.

Consciousness Studies
The course draws upon investigations and models concerning the nature, types and levels of consciousness, drawn from religion, yoga, mysticism, spirituality, shamanism, Jungian psychology, and parapsychology. It also explores the nature of transcendent consciousness, or super consciousness from spiritual traditions, as well as the practices used in the various traditions to attain these states.

Study of East/ West: Metaphysics and Healing

This course focuses on selected esoteric teachings and healing practices among the major Eastern and Western religious traditions.

Spiritual Coaching /TSI: Life Coaching
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 and perceiving difficulties on an intuitive and/or subtle level. These skills are relevant in any discipline and professional path in which a student will work with people. (4 units).

Psychodiagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis in Clinical Psychology
Diagnosis in psychology is based on the most current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) that sets the criteria for diagnosis in the field. Clinical licensing and practice requires a thorough knowledge of the categories and criteria for diagnosing mental disorders. The course provides students with an understanding of psychodiagnosis that will prepare them for clinical licensing. Consideration will be given to the limitations of specific diagnostic categories as part of a deliberate effort to medicalize what it is that psychiatry treats, and the implications for the therapeutic relationship. (4 units)

AMI Data Interpretation and Diagnosis (**Prerequisite: Introduction to AMI Research)
This course is intended to develop theoretical basis for the interpretation of AMI data and its diagnostic application. Starting from physical principles of AMI’s unique electro-dermal measurements and physiological meaning of the three AMI parameters (BP, AP & IQ) the course will first present the key experimental evidences that led to current interpretation of these parameters, high-lighting, in particular, “BP” as parameter reflecting the Ki-energy conditions of the person’s meridian system and “AP” as parameter showing functional state of the person’s autonomic nervous system.  The course will further cover how the raw data taken from 28 well-points on the meridians based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) are computer-processed to extract useful information of diagnostic values. In addition, students can learn how to systematically interpret the extracted information in terms of both meridian system and autonomic nervous system thereby enabling health diagnosis of the person from the holistic viewpoints.  Feasibility of “chakra diagnosis” will also be raised as topic of special interest. Students will have opportunities to perform AMI measurements by themselves. Some training sessions will be included to apply gained knowledge to interpret the actual AMI data obtained. A laboratory fee of $120 is required.

Advanced Integrative Therapy

Advanced Integrative Therapy (Basics) is a three day seminar that introduces, explains, and trains participants in the foundations of AIT theory and methodology.  Students will learn the theories of trauma, and how to access unconscious material through ideo-motor cuing (muscle testing), and how to move energy through the body’s major energy centers (chakras) to eliminate trauma, its symptoms, cause and after-effects.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga. The difference is that Yin style yoga aims to stimulate the connective tissues and the joints more than the superficial, muscular or “yang” tissues. The connective tissues can be found anywhere in the body. However, Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons and fascia of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine as well as the joints of the body. It opens up these deep, dense, rarely touched areas. By stretching the connective tissues, Yin Yoga can condition you to sit longer, which enables you to meditate more comfortably without the pain of stiff knees or an aching back. This style of yoga is suitable for almost all levels of students. Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles.

Topic of Special Interest: Life Force
The students will develop an understanding of the physical basis for the “aura,” the “chakras,” and the acupuncture system in terms of their behavior as physical fields. This new understanding will likely lead to many new ideas for future research and practical application, which can help test this model and will be of value to the students of this new science, healing practitioners as well as to professionals in conventional academic discipline . The overall goal of this course is to build a bridge between the traditional esoteric or clairvoyant understanding of energy healing and a new description based on scientific principles, using the latest discoveries from many fields of science. It now appears that such a comprehensive understanding of living systems is possible, and this course describes the various elements that make it up.
