Science, Mystery and Magic: What Makes EMS Different?

People have been asking different questions lately about the coursework of Energy Medicine Specialists (EMS). What makes EMS different from other modalities? Why do I have to take three classes before I can take the more advanced classes? When will the advanced classes be offered? Will we learn about meridians?

First, let’s just say, every EMS class is filled with science, mystery and magic. What makes EMS different than other modalities is that it is based upon structure, ethics, professionalism, boundaries, and self-care. These are not just empty words or afterthoughts. These values are built into the curriculum at every level.

EMS offers three levels of coursework with contact hours for all:

1) Foundational

  • Energy Therapy 1 (ET1)

  • Energy Therapy 2A (ET2A)

  • Energy Therapy 2B (ET2B)

2) Functional

  • Advanced Pendulum

  • Communication

  • Energy Medicine in Surgery

  • Intuition

3) Advanced

  • Advanced Chakra

  • Master Hara

  • Meridians (in development)

Q: “Why must students complete the foundational classes before attending any of the functional or advanced classes?”

People question why the prerequisites are necessary if they have knowledge in other energy modalities. Again, EMS curriculum is built on structure, professionalism, ethics, boundaries, and self-care. Not every modality builds curriculum on these values. The foundational classes cover these values plus the science of energy medicine. With these prerequisites met, all students attending the functional and advanced classes will have the same background in energy knowledge. That means we can begin at an advanced level without a lot of repetition of basic knowledge.

Q: “I’ve heard ET1 is a review of what most people have learned and people question why they must take it.”

Yes, this is true. Many students enter EMS as a beginner and need that foundation, thus, the online ET1 self-paced course is a requirement of this program so all students are on the same page.

Q: What’s in Energy Therapy 2A and 2B?

ET2A goes deep into the science and assessment of the energy. You’ll learn many new techniques, both full body and spot techniques. ET2B is the magic and mystery of the energy system, earth healing, practical magic, plus viral and cancer care techniques. Case management and the practicalities/importance of ethical documentation are also part of 2A and 2B, helping you polish the professionalism of your healing practice.

Self-care is discussed in ET2B as microcosm and macrocosm. How we as humans relate to the earth and how we can help ourselves which in turn will help the earth. That topic by itself is worth taking ET2B. Practical magic will be a very fun segment of ET2B. Attend and find out all about it!

2023-2024 Classes

We plan to offer all foundational, functional classes in 2023. While we were hoping to offer ET2A later in October, we’ve postponed it due to a variety of scheduling conflicts. Stay tuned for new dates early in 2023.

Advanced Chakra and Master Hara are tentatively planned for September or October 2023. Meridians will be offered in early 2024. Keep an eye on the emails and check the EMS Calendar for details.

All the classes are taught by instructors with a passion for energy work who emulate the values of EMS: ethics, professionalism, boundaries, structure, and self-care.

Contact Hours

All courses in the EMS program offer the option to apply for official nursing contact hour continuing education credits (CEs). These are acceptable for many other health care and bodywork professionals as well.

We hope to see you soon in a class—check the online calendar for the schedule. The EMS team is growing quickly and we hope to schedule more classes soon. If you have a group of 10 or more students in your local community, let me know if you’d like to hold a class in your area.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 3:55 min. Janna tells about her background in energy medicine modalities

  • 7:07  What led you into wanting your own umbrella organization for energy medicine coursework?

  • 13:45 What do you mean by setting a standard of excellence in the field of energy medicine? Why such a standard is worth fighting for.

  • 17:47 Why is ethics the EMS soapbox, so to speak? 

  • 19:45 What would it mean to practitioners to have a credential (or designation) of Specialist in Energy Medicine (SEM)?

AND FIVE KEY TAKEAWAYS

…but view the whole hour-long conversation to get the full picture:

  1. A standard should be something worth fighting for. Should. And the outcome of that standard should be good health care, good practitioners, and good outcomes with your clients.

  2. The SEM credential would tell you that someone has done the training to be able to diagnose and treat all parts of the energy body. It would tell you that this person practices under a code of ethics, and a scope of practice, to meet you, the client or patient, where you're at. It mimics a Bill of Rights that Western health care might have.

  3. People know themselves best. People know what they need. People know where they're out of balance. People need to know what balance looks like, and they need to be supported in making some of those choices.

  4. The best things about standards and credentials, as they are pats on the back, is that they’re a way of evaluating the training you've gotten that says, ‘Yes, we think that's appropriate for the skill level you've achieved,’ and someone to say ‘Yes, and we're checking up on that, we're going to put our stamp of approval on that, we're gonna make sure that you live up to that.’

  5. I love teaching. It is a passion of mine to teach. And it's not because at all that I think I have all the answers. It is because when you're in sacred circle with other people, and you're sharing ideas, everybody is learning something. And so that's a way for me to strive to be better at what I know and what I do.
