I am pleased to offer you this course which is a brief overview of various complementary therapies for physical and mental health. This course is based on the text entitled: Mind Medicine, by Uri Geller, 1999. This text is an encyclopedia of mind power. This text shows the links between mind and body and provides exercises to reveal for yourself the power of the mind. This text examines ancient and new age therapies from around the world and shows how these therapies can be combined with our four energy bodies to combine modern medicine and complementary therapies to derive the most benefit from both.

When you receive your textbook, begin reading your text book and highlight the important material. Your course start date will start the day your books arrive and I get your confirmation email. Distance learning requires a certain amount of self-discipline and in someway's it can be more demanding than traditional educational programs because you must set time aside each day for your course work.
