Evolving the Astral Body
The Heart of the Why
Learn How to Evolve Emotional and Spiritual Energy
Do you want to learn how to work with energy grounded in the powerful intersection of spirituality and science?
Are you searching for an organized, cohesive learning approach, and unwilling to cobble together a suite of skills gleaned from weekend workshops offered by different “healers” or “masters”?
Are you seeking in-depth knowledge, time to practice, and comprehensive reference materials to augment and support your learning?
Would you like the option to earn a Certificate of Achievement that codifies your learning and practice?
Energy is Always in the Room
Whether you’re preparing to launch a client practice with energy healing as your primary or initial modality, or you’re a seasoned practitioner integrating energy healing into your suite of modalities, you’re focused on energy healing because you understand that energy is foundational- and it can be accessed, cleared and infused to generate change and facilitate evolution. You know that no matter the modality, energy is always in the room!
This course was profoundly transformational for me as a woman, mother, partner, and practitioner. It crystallized my understanding of how emotional (Astral) energy influences our physical experience of health, vitality, and personal freedom. I highly recommend this for all serious Energy Healing Practitioners!

As an EHI practitioner, you’ll receive training that integrates energy healing into a cohesive, working system for self-care and for your clients. EHI’s practitioner complete the programs with a clear understanding of what to do, and how to do it!
Is This Reiki?
No it’s not, and I’m so glad you’ve asked!
Well ok, you didn’t ask, but many people do, so in case you’re wondering, here are some thoughts to consider.
I often shorten my response to this question by saying, Reiki is a good start. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not bashing Reiki here. Reiki is cool, interesting, helpful and supportive.
It opens the door to the fascinating and fabulous world of energy, and its capacity to shift and shape experience.
For practitioners who want to understand the ‘why’ behind the work, and who want to be sure that they are not participating in ‘woo’ or magical thinking type New Age practices, Reiki is frequently not enough.
If Reiki is on your mind, and you want to know more about how EHI differs from Reiki, there’s further information on our FAQ Page.
Energy Healing and the Astral (Emotional) Body
EHI Practitioners are frequently reminded that no matter what is happening in their clients’ experience, most, if not all roads lead to the Astral/Emotional body.

The Astral (Emotional) body, its chakras and aura are fertile ground for evolution.
Learning to clear and release energy in the chakras and aura provide practitioners and their clients with powerful resources for growth, healing and ultimately, for the evolution of consciousness and all aspects of the s/Self.

What does EHI mean when it says the ‘Astral Body is the heart of the why’?
- You likely know someone who has dealt with a physical illness or disease that doctors have difficulty diagnosing, or that doesn’t respond to treatment. Sometimes a symptom will begin to lessen and another one springs up, loudly seeking relief. You likely know someone who has dealt with a physical illness or disease that doctors have difficulty diagnosing, or that doesn’t respond to treatment. Sometimes a symptom will begin to lessen and another one springs up, loudly seeking relief.
In an energy healing practice, you’ll treat and help resolve the underlying emotional tendrils that surround and influence the physical issue, supporting deep healing- emotionally and spiritually. [Note: Practitioners study the Etheric/physical body in the second practitioner program at EHI, expanding their knowledge and service offering.] - Like all of us, your clients have emotions that they find uncomfortable, or can’t safely express. This suppressed, stuck emotional energy cannot flow freely and resolve through the emotional body, as it is meant to do. The suppressed energy creates blockages, reinforces ingrained patterns and behaviors, and over time, can influence the physical body and its vitality and wellness.
- Your learning will help you embrace and model the conscious connection between Energy, Mind- thoughts & emotions- and the Physical body.
Thirty-five years ago, I wrote down a sentence that defines the work that I do to this day:
What happens physically, first happens energetically.
Bottom line: Emotions and patterns such as anxiety, depression, perfectionism, phobias, and/or difficult relationships, stuckness or blockages, are held in the chakras and aura–and this held energy is at the heart of the why. Their energy is spinning up a persistent story leading the client to frame their perceptions and beliefs about life and what’s possible.
As an energy healing practitioner, your knowledge of the chakras and the aura offer you context and resources for helping people shift, grow, evolve and heal.
First you get to the heart of the why. Then you help the client evolve it!

When do I start my learning?
How about right now?
All of the content is online, made available for you to progress through at a pace that fits your schedule and needs.
The content is multi-media– teaching and demonstration videos, audios and pdfs, on-page material, packaged in discrete learning units that form a cohesive whole. Its rich, diverse and stimulating, with lots of opportunity to practice and integrate the material.
All of the teaching videos have been recently updated, reflecting EHI’s most current thinking on the work you’ll offer your clients.
You can interact with EHI and other practitioners through the communication options provided within the learning system.
Anchoring into the program’s definitions of the Astral chakras and aura.
This system is grounded in the Western chakra system and the Seven Planes of Consciousness, discovered and articulated by the Theosophists in the 1860’s. Fortunately, the definitions and understanding of the Western chakra system have been updated and modernized; otherwise we’d be bored to tears! The biggest benefit of the Western chakra system is its practicality, and the ability to deeply integrate the Mind-Body-Energy Connection, which enables practitioners and serious students of energy to effect healing and evolution in powerful, expansive ways.
You’ll focus on your self-care.
You’ll learn and apply tools, skills, practices and protocols for evolving your own issues, patterns, behaviors, emotions and beliefs. The more you apply the tools, skills, practices and protocols in your own life, the more fluidly you’ll model and support your clients in their personal evolution.
Say no to burnout! Simple practices for energy hygiene.
You’ll apply energy hygiene skills for ensuring a clean, hygienic treatment space, diminishing the tendency to feel into your clients emotions. You’ll learn to be an observer of your clients’ emotions, rather than awash in them!
EHI’s Guidelines for Intentional Practice – a code of integrity an ethics.
There is no central or unifying code of conduct and ethical practice in the energy healing field. The onus is on the energy school or program to establish appropriate boundaries of practice. EHI has five simple guidelines that ensure integrity and ethics in client practice.
Hands-on and hands-off clearing skills, practices, tools and protocols.
This program is rich with experiential opportunities to apply what you learn. You’ll learn and practice:
- Session opening & closing protocols
- Chakra clearing skills
- Aura clearing skills
- Protocols for specific energy issues
- Effective, concise Case Intake & Session Notes processes
- Creating & holding intentions for evolution
- Developing Treatment Strategies

Framework and approach for delivering remote sessions to clients.
You’ll learn how to deliver remote energy healing sessions, along with strategies for integrating them into your practice. Remote sessions extend your practice beyond your local community, and keep your practice afloat when circumstances arise that make it difficult to see clients in real-time.

Throwing a party to celebrate is recommended, but absolutely optional! And yes, balloons and party hats are also superb assets to the party!

What I learned in the Astral practitioner program gave me the knowledge, confidence and courage to thrive in my work as an energy practitioner.
Jill’s knowledge, her passion for bringing practitioners into a realm of excellence in practice means the world to me. Her expertise is embedded in every course and program at EHI. It’s like having a 1:1 mentor – without the expense!
