INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF ESOTERIC HEALING Presents:

Part I: Introduction to Energy Healing Part I
October 18th & 19th and October 25th & 26th, 2008

This is the first of a four part series toward certification in Esoteric Healing through the International Network of Esoteric Healing (INEH). This course offers a solid foundation in the principles of Esoteric Healing. Participants will be introduced to the philosophy and methods of esoteric healing and explore how to assess and treat the human energy field, which forms the exact replica of the physical body. It is the “electrical system” which vitalizes and controls the physical body. The human energy field contains seven major energy centers (chakras), many minor centers, and vibratory levels that work together to bring about health, vitality, and a sense of a higher purpose. In this course, you will learn:

~the relationship of physical and energy (esoteric) anatomy
~methods of assessing the energy centers
~methods of assessing the different vibratory levels within the energy field
~treatment procedures for energetic blocks and restrictions within the energy field
~the practice of meditation
~the development of the intuition

The International Network of Esoteric Healing is a global group of world servers dedicated to wholeness and health in body, mind, and spirit through the understanding and balance of the human energy field. This training and certification was developed over 25 years ago by Brenda Selby Johnston of England and based on the work of Alice Bailey and The Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul. There are currently teachers in Europe, Australia , Canada , Asia, and the United States.

These courses are open to anyone interested in learning the principles of esoteric healing and energy anatomy. There are no prerequisites or knowledge of anatomy required.

The Art of Ascension as taught by the Ishayas

The Art of Ascension is an essential effortless approach to fine tune the mind and body. Every aspect of personal experience is related to the thoughts we entertain in relationship to the present moment. By simply touching the Absolute Source of our being, stresses that distract us from being fully present dissolve; our choices become more conscious and refined; everything about personal perceptions and the experience of life is enhanced. The body receives more rest than in sleep, so the natural by-product restores and heals the body. The practice requires no belief, so it is universal.

Ishayas’ Ascension Weekend Workshop
Dates: Thurs-Sat October 9th-12th
Cost: $300

Beginning Meditation 101

This class introduces the theory and practice of Meditation. What is it? How does it work? What are the benefits? We will discuss these questions and the various facets of meditation, such as awareness, focus, presence, and consciousness.

It has been demonstrated through various studies that meditation can be used to slow the heart rate, decrease stress, and regulate breathing. One study done in Washington, DC, even reduced violence in the city when meditation was done through a focused group process.

Meditation is a tool for increasing the quality of daily life. It can improve one’s vitality and outlook on life. Learning to respond to life rather than react can also be a long term benefit of meditation. There are no prerequisites; everyone is welcome to attend!

Dolphin Breath

Beyond the human energy field lie additional sets of chakras and layers of energy, each with distinct properties and energetic connections to us as individuals as well as to the universe.

Tricia Eldridge has learned to access these additional levels and chakras and in doing so, can acces the tools and techniques that she now uses in her Energy Touch healing work.

Dolphin Breath, the energy breathing technique fundamental to Tricia’s work, enables her to remain grounded and connected to her guidance while ecperiencing these outer level energies.

Understanding and practicing this ancient form of energy breathing can enable you to expand your energy field while bring healing energies into your world. Dolphin Breath will healp you create clarity within yourself while allowing for a stronger connection with your Guidance.

During the lecture Tricia will share her knowledge and experiences gained through the practice of Dolphin Breath. You will view the fields as she sees them, learn the chakra locations and discover their individual properties. You will be led through the breathing exercies, learing to clear energy blocks using the same healing energies of chakras 8-15 that Tricia uses in her work.

We invite you to step into your power, becoming a clearer, stronger vessel, aligned with your path and moving towards healing and wholeness.

Tricia Eldridge

Tricia Eldridge is a 2000 graduate of the Internationally recognized Barbara Brennan School of the Healing Arts. She has a full time energy healing practice working with disease, illness and other physical ailments. Her daily practice of Dolphin Breath has deepened her awareness of levels and chakras outside of the auric field and has allowed her to develop a technique for working in these outer levels which she calls Energy Touch. Use of this technique allows Tricia to work on a cellular level of the human energy field and by doing so enables her to affect energetic healing which can then manifest in the physical body.

In 2005 Tricia founded the Energy Touch School of Advanced Healing in order to spread her knowledge of the outer level energies to others in the community of healers. For more information please visit:

Progroff Intensive Journal Program

This Program in an integrated system using writing exercises to help you develop your life experiences to gain sense of the continuity and direction of your life. This is a two day workshop and class is limited to 15.
This workshop, held in one of the loveliest and most supportive workshop venues, is the primary component of the Intensive Journal method, Life Context Workshop: Gaining a Perspective on Life. Dr. Ira Progoff developed the Intensive Journal method as a way for individuals to see and begin to understand the patterns developing in their lives, and to draw upon their inherent resources for becoming whole persons. Dr. Progoff was a prominent depth psychologist, scholar, and author on the theories of C.G. Jung; he studied with Dr. Jung as a Bollingen Fellow in Switzerland. He then developed his own theories of human development, which are implemented in the Intensive Journal method. As you work in the quiet atmosphere, you will reconstruct the major phases of your life, and explore the outer and inner dimensions of these periods. Step-by-step, carefully designed exercises allow you to learn the art of journal-keeping well enough to continue using the techniques after the workshop is over. You will be guided through exercises that will deepen your understanding of relationships, work and career aspirations, health and body issues, and the events, decisions, and circumstances that create your life history. The continuous process of writing and reading back your entries in the Journal Feedback method creates a dynamic process that helps build energy and momentum within yourself. If you have taken other Intensive Journal workshops, this will be an opportunity for you to increase your skill in moving from one section of the workbook to another, deepening your skill with the process of mediation between your personal and transpersonal depths and the outer works and relationships that comprise your unfolding life. But even if this is your first experience with the Intensive Journal method and you have never kept a personal journal, you will gain a deeper sense of the inner movement and direction of your life and open yourself to what Dr. Progoff calls the “magnitude of the human spirit”.

Reasons to attend this Intensive Journal workshop:

  • you’re at a crossroads, and a career or personal decision is being asked of you
  • you’re blocked or stalled in your life, and feel the need to move forward
  • you want to open or deepen your connection with the life of the spirit
  • your life is wonderful, and it’s your nature to seek out life-enhancing experiences
  • you’re an artist, hoping to gain access to your deepest sources of creativity
  • you want clarification of your values, priorities, and beliefs about ultimate concerns
  • you’ve used this method and want to expand and deepen your skill and understanding

Carolyn Kelley Williams has kept journals as a creative discipline all her life. Dedicated to the Intensive Journal program since 1985, she studied with Dr. Progoff, becoming a Registered Journal Consultant in 1991. She is a novelist, published poet, and founding member of the performance ensemble World Enough & Time; Senior Editor of Publications in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University Medical School; and managing editor of the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics; she also gives seminars on goal setting, negotiation, creativity, and effective presentation skills.

METAPHOR AND ATMOSPHERE. The central metaphor in the Intensive Journal method is of a well with a shaft going deep into the earth until it reaches an underground stream. As we work together in a workshop it is as though each of us is a well. We go into that well, the well of our life, and the method of working creates a progressive deepening, allowing us to move toward ever more essential levels, making contact with and drawing upon the ultimate sources of life. Though the well of each existence is separate and distinct, when we go very far down into the well of our life, we reach an underground stream that is the source of all the wells, where there are no separations and all persons are connected in a continuum of being. The way of working carries us through a cycle of experience, from the outer events taking place at the surface of the well, inward to the underground stream to reach our deep sources, to have the revitalizing experience of reconnecting ourselves with the larger unity of life; with time, we are able to go through our personal life into transpersonal experiences beyond our individual life. The waters of the underground stream have the effect of renewing our energies and giving us access to abundant resources that we are able to draw upon as we move back to the surface of the well; we are able to incorporate these resources and new energies into the works and relationships of our outer lives. We learn to work without judgment, either of others or of ourselves; in the nonjudgmental atmosphere, we become, in the words of Rilke, guardians of one another’s solitude. Together in a workshop, away from outer pressures, each working in our lives in the deepening silence, we create an atmosphere that is a great source of support and psychic energy, and we are able to experience the self-healing wisdom of life. We learn that the psyche knows what needs to be done and will move through its necessary cycles, in this way freeing us to take the next step in our lives.
