Personal Development and Health Practitioner Training At Its Best“ARC actually creates permanent change. There is no other technique I have found that is as effective… and as fast.” - Kristen McHenry, The Hope Institute’s Community Outreach Coordinator (Seattle, Washington)
There are a lot of personal growth and healing practitioner training programs on the market today. So many in fact, that as a consumer, it can be mind-boggling deciding which one to take. Many of them not only look and sound the same, they rarely offer concrete results and lasting solutions. ARC is Different…Whether you are new to self-improvement and healing work, or have been on the path for years, ARC offers profound personal growth and health practitioner programs. We have a proven track record of helping people move forward in all aspects of their lives whether it’s healing old wounds, advancing careers, enhancing spiritual development, or improving relationships. Through ARC training you will learn:
“I have been a seeker for 25 years looking for ways to heal myself so that I can fully embrace my life and those whose lives touch mine. I have studied and experienced many different modalities on my journey. ARC is simply the most effective and efficient modality I have ever experienced. Combined with the program I feel my progress in healing was greatly accelerated.”
- Melissa Vanry, Designer and Mother of Two. (Vancouver Island, BC) So, Why is ARC Successful?We offer programs, classes and presentations which specialize in practical and in-depth approaches to personal growth and/or healing practitioner training. While there are many aspects to our success, there are four that are most critical: For Personal Growth Training1. Awareness alone does not guarantee change.Have you had the experience of spending money and time in therapy and found change is slow in coming? Or that when you do experience change, it lasts only as long as the next stressful situation? Awareness alone does not guarantee change. In ARC sessions and classes you learn how to take the next step beyond awareness, to become an active participant in your personal growth process, so that change becomes a permanent fixture in your life. Using a self-communication tool called BodySpeak™ you will learn how to enter into negotiation with each of the individual elements of the emotional system that resist change. You become the diplomat, the teacher or guide who is able to gently coax and negotiate the resistant parts into seeing the value of moving into roles that support the changes you wish to see take place. You create, within yourself, an integrated emotional system. One that is in full agreement with the health, career and relationship goals you wish to manifest in your life. Change need not be slow. It does not need be a deep energy-draining process. BodySpeak™ respects an individual’s personal pace and timing while at the same time provides sufficient challenge to support a gentle, safe yet efficient process towards sustained change. 2. We teach you how to retain full presence within yourself and in all relationships.ARC’s personal growth and healing practitioner training programs show you how to recognize when limiting parts of yourself start to run the show and take you away from Conscious Awareness. Conscious Awareness is the experience of Presence; of being fully conscious of what is happening for you in any given moment. It is the feeling of clarity and power, of having the confidence to make choices relevant to who you are now, rather than who we once were. It strengthens your resources so that you can intimately know and predict your growth process unfolding. You have the feeling that you are in charge of your life. In Conscious Awareness you quickly recognize when you are in reaction to a person or situation and what needs to change to return to Awareness. Once you discover how to “Return to Consciousness” you have the power to consciously choose how to be authentic in any relationship. The ability to "return" to an aware state is also a crucial tool for sustaining your inner power both personally and professionally. “A Return to Consciousness” is the discovery that life can work for you, rather than allowing life to happen to you. “I have ‘dabbled’ over the years taking many different courses in many different forms of the work. When I found you I finally found what I was looking for. The way you have structured your course really fits my learning needs in terms of the continuity from one workshop to the next and the continuous support throughout the course. On top of this, the supports you offer the beginning practitioner are exactly what I need to help me fulfill my dreams of going into business doing the work. Pietro, you are a gifted healer and teacher. Thank-you.” - Ethel Sabbagh, Retired Registered Nurse (Victoria, BC) For Health Practitioner Training3. We focus on the practitioner’s ability to “Return to Consciousness” in the healing process.We are one of the only personal growth and health practitioner training programs that focus as much on the practitioner and his or her role in the healing process as we do on the actual methods of healing. Many health practitioners are trained in healing techniques without much emphasis on the healer’s internal and external processes. This can be problematic. If the healer is not in tune with his or her own emotional processes during the healing session, their overall effectiveness will be limited. An ARC practitioner’s effectiveness as a healer is in direct proportion to his/her level of consciousness. Therefore, ARC healing practitioner training emphasizes practitioner self-care and personal growth equally with client care and healing techniques. ARC teaches you to recognize immediately when you have lost presence during a healing session. You'll learn practical, effective skills to quickly restore focus and return to conscious awareness or full presence with your client. 4. We are one of the few healing programs to combine body or energy work with dialogue work.ARC offers training in both “body” or “energy” work as well as in “dialogue” and “emotional processing work”. The latter, called “BodySpeak™,” is a tried, tested and proven method of helping people resolve deep seated emotional blocks in order to maintain greater consciousness. ARC educates you on how to work effectively with our most formidable emotional structure - the defenses. Our emotional defense system is best negotiated using non-linear, body-based dialogue, and allowing direct access to the unconscious. ARC has developed a systematic approach to learning and using this dialogue - BodySpeak™. BodySpeak™ allows the practitioner to converse with the client’s defenses in a way that provides safety, nurturance, and compassion, in a client directed session that allows for permanent change. The combination of BodySpeak™ dialogue and energy-healing techniques is a singularly powerful means for effecting growth. “ARC Bodywork Therapy has given me many gifts: a community of life-long friends and healers, a stronger, more loving, responsible and adventurous sense of self, a wealth of innovative and effective healing techniques, insight and understanding into patterns of behaviour and more freedom to live consciously in the moment. I highly recommend this very challenging and exciting work that has transformed my life.”- Evie Wur, Teacher, Certified Reflexologist, Healing Touch Practitioner. (Vancouver Island, BC) Who Created ARC?Hi, my name is Pietro Abela. In the early years of private practice as an energy practitioner I began to notice a connection between the issues my clients voluntarily talked about and the symptoms they brought into their sessions. When the client spoke about their emotional issues and I placed my hands on them, the symptoms resolved quicker and stayed away for longer periods of time than when I treated the client in energy-work alone. Encouraged by this, I developed a form of dialogue, called BodySpeak™, to accompany bodywork. The foundation of this new modality was a model I developed that allowed me to clearly see and follow my clients’ issues in action. The BodySpeak™ method has been tried and tested on hundreds of clients over eighteen years. The biggest proof of its reliability and effectiveness, outside of the satisfaction from my own clients, was seeing other practitioners adapt ARC techniques to their own personal styles and settings that were equally effective as my own. Over the past ten years BodySpeak™ has been creatively used by students of ARC in a wide variety of careers and lifestyles: such as university teaching, early child-care and education, business consulting and parenting. Over the years ARC’s personal growth and healing practitioner trainings have evolved into five distinct programs, each of which specialize in the various needs of our student population. All of our programs offer a solid foundation in self-care and personal growth support as well as understanding how emotions and life’s stresses influence discomfort, disease and many of the choices we make in living our lives:
"In their development of ARC, founders Pietro and Melanie Abela have created a profoundly transformative approach to understanding the inner workings of our behaviors. What makes the work so impressive is not only the reward of discovering a place of consciousness from which to evaluate our actions and interactions, but the attainment of a fuller sense of presence that also has significant benefits for family, friends, and colleagues." Many people choose ARC to enhance their personal lives, relationships and careers. Some choose ARC to add to their current health-care or healing modalities and others to become certified as ARC Health Practitioners. If you are looking for a unique self-improvement and/or a health practitioner program that brings about real and lasting change, sign up now for one of the ARC training programs. ARC offers personal growth training as well a health and healing practitioner training in Canada and the United States. |
