Peak states training course

site search by freefind

This professional training is on peak states of consciousness and our trauma-based techniques for acquiring them. This in-depth experiential training course (about 62-65 hours depending on class size) goes into the theory and techniques used to acquire various peak states, such as the ‘inner peace’ and ‘silent mind’ states. The training focuses on the theory and gives extensive practice in working with prenatal trauma and key developmental events. We also show how this theory is applied to treating various diseases and disorders of consciousness, such as 'spiritual emergencies' (that can sometimes occur spontaneously or are triggered by the use of various spiritual or psychological techniques). Additionally, experience has shown us that most clients prefer to turn a momentary 'peak experience' into a continuous 'peak state', and this application is emphasized in this course. Completion of our trauma therapy training is a prerequisite to participating in this training course.

Who is this course for?
 
PS2_cover_183px
This course is designed for professionals (and qualified laypeople) who are interested in exploring the new frontier of peak states of consciousness. Rather than being just a workshop designed to satisfy curiosity, this is a training for professionals designed to teach participants some of the newest generation of models and techniques in both new field of peak states of consciousness and the applications to psychological disorders.

Prenatal developmental events and peak states
There is a key aspect to early pre-birth developmental trauma - it can block states of exceptional mental health. Called 'peak states' by the Institute, there are around a hundred different positive states of consciousness that people can have continuously (but rarely do). The focus of these courses is on understanding and acquiring some of these exceptional states of consciousness by addressing these particular kinds of prenatal trauma issues. Although unrecognized in conventional psychological models or spiritual traditions, a psychological peak state correspond to a biological metabolic pathway and/or structure that is functioning optimally inside some part of the cell. (In some cases, the positive 'state' is instead due to the absence of a particular subcellular disease or damage.)

The majority of the course time is on understanding early, pre-birth developmental events - their impact on primary cell development and their psychological effects. We also teach how we trigger and heal particular developmental event trauma, as well as cover the risks and safety issues that can arise when working with these early events - as well as what to do in case this happens.Thus, with the development of effective prenatal trauma-healing techniques, and new methods to access these key moments, completely new ways to understand - and acquire - these states of exceptional mental (or physical) health is now possible. To view this in another way, this trauma approach complements spiritual practice. Healing the trauma that blocks or inhibits a state is very efficient and effective.

Specific diseases and disorders

To most people, a much more important application of this prenatal developmental trauma approach is in the treatment of specific diseases and disorders. Fortunately, the same principles and techniques used for peak states of consciousness also apply to healing specific psychological disorders. This course explain the theory behind our work with developmental events, and therapy students practice a few of the treatments on themselves and on clients. For specialized courses on specific diseases outside the scope of this training, go to this webpage.

This course was once part of the therapist training
This course used to be taught in our month-long therapist training (as module #150). Unfortunately, our therapist training was getting longer and longer as more material was added (research discoveries kept happening), so we felt this was a good place to split the material to a follow-up course for those therapists who also had an interest in the peak states applications of developmental biology.

Course length
About 62-65 hours depending on the class size.

Venue
This course is usually taught online. Training is available in English, French, German, and Polish.

Prerequisites:
  • Approval from instructor.
  • Completion of the Trauma Therapy training course..
  • No current psychiatric or major problem issues (such as suicidal tendencies) - these classes are not for healing of major personal problems.
  • No potentially life threatening conditions such as a weak heart.
  • Signed liability and health forms.
