Foundation Certificate Courses
The goal of Soul Lightening Acupressure has been to meet a diverse group of students with varied needs in our program offerings. We are pleased to offer Professional and Advanced Professional levels of certification.
At the heart of any of the programs is completion of foundational courses, Process Acupressure (PA) 1A and Clinical Acupressure (CA) 1, which provide a basic understanding of SLA.
To meet the needs of those students choosing a less rigorous course of study, a path to a Foundation Certificate Program (FCP) will be offered. This can be obtained after completion of both PA 1 and CA 1, submitting an application and passing a multiple-choice open book exam and paying a $25 administrative fee.
The Foundation Certificate 50-hour Program includes coursework and sessions.
For those students wanting to pursue a more in-depth professional certification, we offer our Process Acupressure and Clinical Acupressure Professional Certification programs. Both PA 1A and CA 1 are requirements for these programs.
Foundation Courses
Most students begin their work with us by enrolling in our Foundation Certificate program. This is comprised of the two foundation level courses in Process Acupressure and Clinical Acupressure. These courses give a basic overview and skill set for beginning to understand and practice Soul Lightening Acupressure.
Foundation Certificate Required Course Descriptions
Clinical Acupressure 1: Basic Applications (CA1)
This workshop teaches how to use acupressure to balance and energize the whole body and specific parts. Demonstration and practice show the application of formulas for all parts of the body, such as the head, neck, back, face, chest, abdomen, pelvis, legs and feet, arms and hands, and many symptoms, such as blood pressure, constipation, digestive problems, headaches, etc. Participants learn to locate and access more than 35 potent acupressure points. They also receive a clinical handbook and study guide with more than 70 specific acupressure formulas for specific body parts and conditions. Appropriate for clinical applications. This workshop is ideal for health-care professionals with hands-on experience.
Note: This is one of our two Foundation courses. The other is: Process Acupressure 1A: Foundations (PA1A). See PA courses for description of this workshop.)
Process Acupressure 1A: Foundations (PA1A)
Process Acupressure (PA) is a simple, yet profound, holistic method that combines traditional acupressure (to a fully-clothed body) with a process approach to consciousness. It facilitates healing and the natural growth process that arises from within the individual. Process skills are taught that facilitate clarity-in mind, emotions, and spirit. Soul centered development is emphasized. Although acupressure is a lifelong study, this course will empower you to work effectively with energy flow in the body including both meridians and chakras, toward greater balance. You will learn tools that give you confidence. PA can be used alone for self-help or easily given to another. It can also be combined with another body modality. For example, our work with the Great Central Channel strengthens the energetic pathway of the spine and is an excellent complement to Acupuncture, Chiropractic, CranioSacral Therapy, Massage Therapy, rehab modalities, and more.
Note: This is one of our two Foundation courses. The other is CA1: Clinical Acupressure 1: Basic Applications. See CA courses for description of CA1.
