SELF-PACED LEARNING
Because HAI’s typical student is an
adult learner with family and professional responsibilities, our flexible
learning format works within your own schedule.
You may enroll at any time and progress at your own pace as the rest of
your life plan allows. Although,
learning at HAI is self-paced, we do ask that all courses and programs be
completed within two years of the initial enrollment date.
Most of our courses require about sixty
hours of study time. Some students are
able to complete a course in as little as two weeks, while others may take a
month or more. Our programs then, each
consisting of three to twelve courses, can easily be completed within one to
two years or even less with a regular study routine.
The Many
Advantages of
Bach Flower
Remedies
Bach Flower Essence Therapy was developed in the 1920s and 30s by British researcher and physician, Dr. Edward Bach. Bach eventually turned from the allopathic medicine of his day to that of homeopathy. It was his understanding that the treatment of symptoms was not adequate to heal disease; rather, one needed to get to the root cause to truly restore health. He increasingly observed the psychic components in physical illnesses, and understood that these related to certain personality types and specific negative reaction patterns. Bach decided to concentrate fully on studying the different personality types or soul qualities and finding the corresponding healing plants. Together with his assistant, Nora Weeks, he discovered and prepared the thirty-eight Bach Flower Remedies and Rescue Remedy. . . . MORE!
Aromatherapy: Ancient
Wisdom for Modern
Times
Although the contemporary practice of modern aromatherapy originated only within the last hundred years, the use of aromatic plant substances for healing purposes can be traced back to all the major ancient civilizations of the world. Ancient writings describe the use of aromatic herbs, spices, resins, fats, oils, vinegars, wines, beers, and more for rituals, embalming, healing, and beatification. It is believed that aromatic plants have actually been used by humankind since the dawn of human history. . . . MORE!
