A New Edition of
the Healer’s Program

Soul Rising, Life Transforming,
Body Healing

With Teacher and Author Tom Monte

Program Description

The Healer’s Program is a multi-module training in the healing arts, self-healing, and personal transformation. It is intended for those seeking healing and transformation, as well as for professional healers who want to expand their understanding and their repertoire of highly effective healing methods.

A New Edition Of The Program

This new edition of the Healer’s Program is designed to address a far deeper dimension of our humanity – the repeating patterns in our lives that limit our freedom and block us from expressing and receiving the love for which we so desperately yearn.  These patterns affect every aspect of our lives, from our intimate relationships to our ability to succeed in our professional lives.

Students will not only be presented with new and deeper insights into their recurring patterns, but also will be given the healing methods needed to dissolve those patterns and replace them with life-sustaining behaviors that can transform their lives and lead to the fulfillment of their goals and dreams.  

If you are a professional healer, this program will give you the tools to help your clients overcome self-limiting and self-destructive patterns that are at the core of their health and personal crises.

This program combines the advanced Healer’s Program training with Tom Monte’s Living from the Soul weekends. This ongoing training is intended to help you overcome self-limiting patterns so that more of your best and truest nature can direct your consciousness, decisions, and actions toward the fulfillment of your life’s goals.

All of this work is done in an atmosphere of respect, compassion, and love.  Registration is limited so that every member receives ongoing attention from the group and its facilitator, Tom Monte.

For All Students At All Levels Of Experience

This current edition of the Healer’s Program is entirely new and open to all students, at all levels, including those who have taken the Healer’s Program in the past.

Six Modules For Returning Students. Seven For New Students.

For advanced students who have taken one or more levels of the Healer’s Program, the training is composed of six weekend sessions. (See dates, immediately below.)

For beginning students who are new the Healer’s Program, a foundation-laying weekend is required in order to learn some of the basic healing tools that are essential to the Healer’s training and our work together.

That intensive, foundation-laying weekend will take place on October 1 - 3, 2010. This will be a special intensive weekend for students who are new to the Healer’s Program. This weekend will provide students with an introduction to the following subjects:

· Reading the Body and Physical Asian Diagnosis

· An Introduction to Intuitive Diagnosis

· An Introduction to the Five Transformations

· An Introduction to the Five Defenses

· An Introduction to Personal Transformation

A New Dimension Of Healing

This edition of the Healer’s Program is designed to reveal and heal our hidden patterns – meaning the beliefs and behaviors that help to define us and our daily lives. Though patterns can create feelings of familiarity and safety in the short-run, they nonetheless are self-limiting and often self-sabotaging over time.  

Patterns of behavior are based on a set of beliefs and fears, which are instilled upon you as part of your training. Collectively, they form a kind of programming that exists in your conscious and unconscious minds.  That programming defines how you can – and cannot – express your love and talents in virtually every aspect of your life. The underlying programming also determines your ability – or inability – to receive love, appreciation, and the rewards of your labors.  In the end, your inner programming defines the feelings you have about yourself, and your future.

Change And Growth Occurs In Stages

Behavior patterns are meant to be recognized and outgrown. All healing and transformation are based on the following steps:

1. The recognition of self-limiting and self-destructive behaviors and their effects on our lives.
   
2. The dissolution of those patterns of behavior and the identity they have created for us.  (I refer to this phase as the de-structuring phase. It is often associated with crisis, confusion, and feelings of being lost and adrift. Though often difficult, it is an essential part of the healing process.)
   
3. The awakening to new knowledge and a way of being. (I refer to this phase as the period of inspiration and rebirth.)
   
4. The adaptation to new behaviors that support the restoration and maintenance of our health, our life goals, and our soul’s intention to find and express love. (This is the re-structuring phase of change, the period in which you restore structure in your life and establish a new and larger identity.)

In the end, the evolving human being is engaged in a lifelong experience of shedding old beliefs and old patterns of behavior; establishing more rewarding ways of being; and eventually dropping these behaviors for an even larger understanding of life that allows us to more fully manifest your unique, individuated self.

The process has a purpose: to expand our awareness so that our souls can more fully inhabit and direct our lives. In essence, the shedding of patterns and the creation of new ways of being is, at its very heart, soul work.

Thus, the purpose of this new edition of the Healer’s Program.

What You Will Learn And Do In This Healer’s Program

The following is among the objectives of this new edition of the Healer’s Program.

1. You will recognize your patterns and their sources.  Patterns established early in life are born of love and fear. So many ways of being were originally adopted in the hope that they would bring you greater love from one or both of your parents. In all too many cases, they failed to attract the love you wanted – and continue to want to this day.

The program will reveal the patterns that are limiting you now and causing you so much distress.

2. You will see the false and illusory beliefs that support your patterns.  So many behaviors are based on the belief that our most important relationships, and life itself, will not provide for you, especially in the areas that are most critical to your happiness.  These beliefs create an array of behaviors that are self-sabotaging. For example:

• People work long after they are exhausted for fear that they will never be appreciated for anything they do.

• Others are trained to withhold love and the expressions of their tenderness and vulnerability, believing that tenderness and vulnerability put them too much at risk for humiliation and loss.

• Many tolerate abusive relationships for years, believing that they will never be loved, honored, and cherished by another human being, or in any work setting.  

• Many people attempt to control others, and limit their choices in life, for fear that if they give those they love their freedom, they will lose the person’s love entirely.

• Still others become needy because they have no belief in their own power and ability to meet their own needs.

• Many believe that in order to survive, they must tell others what they want to hear, as opposed to saying and living what is true for themselves.

• Some hoard their resources in the fear that if they are generous and giving, even with their loved ones, a crisis will fall and leave them penniless and alone.

• Many people are trained to believe that, at bottom, they are worthless and thus unworthy of love. Therefore, they should accept unhealthy relationships and unsatisfying working conditions.

These are but a handful of the beliefs that lie at the very core of our lives.  All such beliefs lead to behaviors that destroy our lives.

3.  You will see that certain patterns are sacred to you.

Many beliefs and the behaviors that you engage in today were created in childhood as a way to heal one or both of your parents, which is to say, to restore each of them to a state of balance and happiness so that they could assume their roles as mother and father to you and your siblings.  This act of restoring your mother to happiness, or of finally gaining your father’s attention and love, becomes a sacred work that is confused with the image of a healthy, life-supportive love.   

For example, so many children who are abused in childhood find themselves in abusive relationships throughout adulthood. Why? Because, unconsciously they seek out the issue of abuse in order to finally resolve the archetypal challenge they experienced in childhood and teenage years. Our family’s core issues become a sacred drama that, all too often, is pursued in adult relationships in the hope that we will finally heal the original wound and be rewarded with the love that our inner child still longs for.

4.  You will learn how an endless searching of the past, the repeated turning over of the old soil, is itself strategy to maintain your false beliefs, your self-sabotaging behaviors, and your sacred dramas so that you can avoid seeing your own underlying truths, the reality of life, and adopting behaviors that would set you free.

5.  You will see how your patterns affect your physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual health, and how they restrict your capacity to realize your dreams in all areas of life.

6.  You will learn how to dissolve your existing patterns and adopt new behaviors that will empower you and lead to the fulfillment of your most cherished dreams. You will be given the methods and tools needed to adopt those behaviors. You will also learn a way of looking at life, of holding your past, and engaging the present in order to create a new and more rewarding future.

7. You will be presented with healing knowledge in areas of diet, nutrition, exercise, and emotional health that can form the foundation for improved health and emotional well-being.

8.  You will come to understand that you are not alone in this sacred quest, but that you are being helped in your efforts to more fully manifest your soul’s intention for your life.

9. You will learn many ways of communicating more effectively with your soul and the Divinity it lives within.

10. You will emerge from this program with an entirely new way of being and conducting your life.

Spaces For The Program Are Limited

Because of the personal nature of the program, and because everyone who takes the program receives personal attention, spaces for the program are limited. The group is kept relatively small and intimate. All information shared in the group is protected and highly confidential.

Accommodations and Meals

The program takes place at the country setting of Ananda Ashram in Monroe, New York, just an hour outside of New York City. Overnight accommodations are provided at the ashram. You can choose between a dormitory-style room, which will have anywhere from two to three roommates, or a semi-private room, which will include one roommate.

The price for the dormitory room is already included in the overall price of the program. If you would like a semi-private room, add $40 per weekend to the overall program costs.
