Evolving the Astral Body

Experience level: Experienced practitioners with integrated modalities as well as people seeking to launch a client practice dedicated to energy healing

Perfect for: Those interested in the work without the woo – you want to learn a grounded, efficacious energy healing system

Prerequisites: The Present of Presence, learn two foundational skills for energy regulation and embodied awareness

Class length: 85+ hours online curriculum, 75 hours of practice client experience, and if you choose to participate in a cohort program, 15 hours of live calls with your peer group and EHI Instructors. Practitioners tend to spend 6-8 hours/week engaging with the online course material. When they begin working with practice clients, the material comes to life, and it’s not unusual to invest 10-12 or so hours/week in client sessions. The pace is yours to choose within the framework of the overall program deadlines.

Cohorts: Form twice, sometimes three times a year. Class size is limited to a maximum of 15.

Cohort Collaborations: Meet with Jill or a certified Practitioner-Instructor online, throughout the program, to connect and share with your cohort. You’ll learn from each other’s experience, brings questions that the Instructors and your peers will answer. These calls deepen your learning, and bring you into connection with others who are building practices and integrating energy healing into their suite of offerings. These calls are available in the Cohort Collaboration & Connection and Premiun levels of the Astral Program. They are not included in the self-paced version of the program.

Through video-based learning, didactic understanding and experiential practice, EHI integrates effective adult learning models and methods to support learning. The program rolls out over time, in a sequential manner, from an overview of the Astral energy body, the chakras and aura, through self-care and energy hygiene. Once these resources are in place, practitioners learn to facilitate energy healing sessions from case intake and documenting sessions, facilitating energy clearing, and right through to teaching skills to clients.

Video Demonstrations: Every aspect of hands-on treatment is demonstrated on video to ensure ergonomic, correct hand placement and clearing and infusing efficacy.

Deep grounding in the Astral body, the chakras and aura.

There is no single unified definition of the placement, role or function of the chakras. This energy healing 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 has been updated and modernized. None of us need to be managed or defined by the rigidity and tension of Victorian thinking! The Western chakra system incorporates a deep understanding of consciousness, and the magnificence of validating emotional awareness. Through this foundational lens, the chakras and aura are cleared to evolve, shift, resolve, grow and heal.

Energy healing begins with your own self-care.

You’ll learn and apply tools, skills, practices and protocols for evolving your own issues, patterns, behaviors, emotions and beliefs and thus be able to assure your clients of the efficacy of the work.

A thriving client practice requires energy hygiene.

You’ll practice simple, effective energy hygiene skills for ensuring a clean, hygienic treatment space. Individuation and separation are essential to this work; you don’t want or need what your clients release, and they don’t need your mojo either! Avoiding burnout begins with energy hygiene.

EHI’s Guidelines for Intentional Practice focalize your energy for working with your clients.

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. 

Learning hands-on and hands-off clearing skills, practices, tools and protocols and applying them in sessions with practice clients. 

This program is experiential. You’ll submit session work on practice clients throughout the program for Instructor review and feedback.

You’ll learn and practice:

• Session opening & closing protocols
• Chakra clearing skills
• Aura clearing skills
• Protocols for specific energy issues 
• Effective, concise Case Intake processes
• Developing treatment strategies
• Teaching skills to clients to support growth and evolution 

Case intake & note taking essentials to evaluate case progression and ensure compliance.

Templates and a process for developing a brief, concise case intake, and session notes are included with the program. While you may have an intake and session notes process in place for other modalities, both new and experienced practitioners appreciate a format, model and approach for managing case activities.

Setting client intentions, designing treatment strategies & teaching skills to evolve client experience.

Intention setting is a bit of an art. Intentions focalize energy, and hone the clearing strategy, and provide context for teaching chakra and aura clearing skills to clients.

You’ll also learn to develop treatment strategies for your clients, using the case intake as a guide.

You’ll finish this set of Lessons with a comprehensive approach to teaching clearing skills to your clients so they can continue their work outside of their sessions with you.

Feedback on client sessions from EHI practitioner-instructors.

Depending on the program you choose, you’ll be engaged with Jill and EHI practitioner-instructors during the program. Every level you choose includes submitting assignments that help you internalize the learning, and help us see your progression with the material. As part of your Practicum, you’ll submit video footage of a client session, and provide documented cases for review and feedback. This rigor is how EHI practitioners build confidence in their ability to effectively support their clients healing and evolution. You’ll receive feedback by email, and have at least 3 live calls with EHI instructors as you progress through the material and the practicum.

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. You’ll submit information about an additional 15 hours of remote session work to round out your experience with Astral energy healing.

Certification!

As you successfully complete the Astral program elements, you’ll receive your Certificate of Achievement in the Astral Energy Healing: The Heart of the Why practitioner program. This is a huge milestone, and we’ll be honored to deliver your certification!

Regular Connection & Collaboration Calls with Jill Leigh & EHI Practitioner Instructors

(Note: Not included in the Self-paced version of the program.) The program includes a significant amount of self-study, but you’re never alone! Jill and EHI Instructors offer and attend regular, scheduled Connection & Collaboration Calls via Zoom as you progress through the content, where you can interact with your cohort, share your questions, and deepen your learning. Connection & Collaboration Calls are a powerful support for integrating the concepts you’ve learned and grounding your awareness. The Connection & Collaboration Calls include Case Supervision which give participants a taste of the incredible learning and growth that emerges from discussing cases, expanding treatment approaches and strategy, and solving concerns and problems that arise in any client practice.

Fee-based, 1-1 Case Supervision Sessions with Jill Leigh

Once the series of Supervision calls are completed within the program, ongoing Case Supervision is available on a 1-1 basis, or in a group format with Jill Leigh at her published hourly individual and group supervision rates. 

I found Energy Healing Institute and started learning through the free course and blog posts. What I learned in the Astral practitioner program gave me the knowledge, confidence and courage to begin 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. Since finding EHI, I have taken a lot of courses with Jill and know that she has an exorbitant amount of patience for student questions, as well as an incredible amount of knowledge about people, patterns and client practice that she is more than willing to share. If you’re serious, ready and want to stand out in your community as a practitioner that people trust and grow with, this could be your energy healing home!

(Note: Not included with the self-paced version of the program.) We will meet throughout the program as you learn and practice the program lessons and protocols. The purpose of the calls is to connect as a cohort, share insights and learning, and provide you with a forum for discussing your experiences with the material and your practice clients.

All calls are recorded and made available for the occasions where you might not be able to attend. You’re expected to attend the live calls, and your ability to work effectively with clients is enhanced through your active participation in Case Supervision.

All calls are scheduled for Tuesday, 12 noon Eastern, 9am Pacific, 5pm Western European Time
