The Healing Presence Program consists of six complimentary classes which specialize in a form of energy bodywork with each class focusing on a specific aspect of health and healing.
ARC teaches healing and health is a natural outcome of inner Presence. While techniques are important, the student’s success is dependent upon the ability to sustain presence, centering and retain fullness within the self. Fundamental to ARC’s teachings is the ability of the practitioner to know when she of he is being affected by the client’s issues enough to lose Presence. Students receive hands-on support and feedback to learn when this presence is compromised so that this can be recognized and addressed for themselves.
In this way, healing becomes an extension of the healer’s own state of health and, therefore, unique to the individual healer. The ARC Institute is committed to supporting our students’ discovery of their inherent and unique energetic healing skills.
As well, students learn an array of techniques to treat disease and discomfort. ARC Bodywork excels in the treatment of emotional issues, especially those issues that impinge on lifestyle and influence physical complaints.
The Healing Presence: Class One
Unlocking the Secrets of the Unconscious
This class introduces the ARC concept that disease and discomfort can be influenced by our emotional past and the current stresses we carry. Participants learn how to open up to Presence and follow the unconscious signals and language someone provides. Following the journey of unconscious language will lead the observer to the underlying causative locations of physical symptoms. Frequencies and Modeling, two important energetic techniques, draw on the practitioner’s life experiences to provide pinpoint treatment for any physical or emotional issue. Both Frequencies and Modeling support the movement towards the fulfillment of our health goals, and those we choose to provide support for.
Sample Topics:
- Introducing the Anatomy of illness: How disease, discomfort and lifestyle dysfunction is a cry for help and attention
- Understanding the emotional system and its role in health
- Exploring how Presence assists in reading presented unconscious language and signals
- Discerning when a caregiver’s agenda interferes with a client’s process

Explore the spiritual foundation for energetic healing and learn effective ways to support inner cleansing, release and de-toxification.
