ARC TRAINING OVERVIEW
The Healing Presence Program

This program is a series of 6 classes focusing on healing ourselves and others as an outcome of our own inner presence. This program teaches techniques and approaches that can be applied both in a non-professional and professional setting. Topics include opening a relationship with the inner masculine (Yang) and how to become aware of and treat disease and discomfort before they manifest physically.

The Healing Presence: Class One
Unlocking the Secrets to the Unconscious

This class introduces the ARC concept that disease and discomfort can be influenced by our emotional past and the current stresses we hold onto. Applying the mindfulness methods taught in The Essence of ARC class, students learn how the unconscious signals and language the client provides leads the listener to the physical and energetic locations of the presented issues. Students are taught how to set aside their own agendas in favour of following the client’s process. Frequencies and Modeling, two important energetic techniques, draw on the practitioner’s life experiences to provide pinpointed treatment of both physical and emotional issues, and to supporting the movement towards the fulfillment of our health goals.

Topics:

• The Anatomy of illness: How disease, discomfort and lifestyle dysfunction is a cry for attention
• Balancing the chakras using the foot chakra points
• Enhancing listening and observation skills to read presented unconscious language and signals relationships
• Discerning when practitioner agenda interferes with client process
• Determining the priority health area
• Triangulation: a method to focus health care
• Frequencies: the art of bringing forth one’s own life experiences in the treatment of discomfort and disease

ARC Bodywork Therapy

ARC Bodywork Therapy (or ARC-work) can address issues and conditions using emotional therapeutic techniques and approaches. This class looks at the indicators that help to decide whether the issue or conditions would benefit most from an emotional perspective versus an energetic or physical one.
