Master Level
For the advanced practitioners in IAM, these courses lead to the great goal of mysticism, stage five: the experience of being the microcosm of the macrocosm.
101 Heart Rhythm Meditation
Learn basic Heart Rhythm Meditation, the method of feeling your heartbeat and synchronizing your breath to produce a rhythmically-changing heartrate. This heartrate pattern gives cardiac strength and emotional power, and makes living from the heart attainable. You will learn and practice the Conscious Breath, Full-Breath, Rhythmic Breath, Swinging Breath, and the Heart's Guidance. No previous experience with meditation is required. more
201 Self-Healing
Use Heart Rhythm Meditation to reduce stress and fatigue, lower blood pressure, halt arrhythmia, increase HRV, and improve immune response, circulation and sleep. The ancient method is taught with modern biofeedback to monitor Heart Rate Variability, exhaled CO2 level, Vital Capacity, skin temperature, iris reaction time, and the magnetic field.
301 Experiencing the Unlimited
Purify your heart through the experience of the Infinite, Perfect and Eternal. This creates a stable stage 3 meditation. (Prerequisite: 202)
102 The Four Elemental Energies
The four subtle energies -- Earth, Water, Fire and Air -- are the energetic building blocks of creation. They correspond to the four states of matter: solid, liquid, plasma and gas. These are the omnipresent, inexhaustible forces that heal and develop your heart. By the use of these energies, you can shift your attitude and approach, and expand consciousness. Based on the book, Living from the Heart. (Prerequisite: 101) more
202 Restoring Optimism
Restore your natural optimism and attain real self-confidence, confidence in the power of your heart, by the application of the four Elemental Energies in Heart Rhythm Meditation. (Prerequisite: 102)
302 The Levels of Reality
Experience the Seven Planes, the levels of reality from vibration to matter which encompass the seen and unseen, inner and outer aspects of all life, in stage 3 meditation. (Prerequisite: 107, 202)
103 The Four Dimensions of the Heart
Based on the book, Energize Your Heart in Four Dimensions. Practice using the "Six Basic Powers" to develop the four dimensions of your energetic/emotional heart, the model at the core of Energy Psychology. Apply the dimensions of your heart with the "Exercises for Life." (Prerequisite: 102)
203 Energizing the Four Dimensions of the Heart with Sound
Learn to use self-produced, cosmic sounds that directly stimulate your heart. Audio spectrum analyzers and amplitude -vs- time graphs are used for feedback in practicing these intense sounds and demonstrating their effectiveness. The attainment of a meditative state is made rapid and reliable, allowing you to live from your heart in daily life. (Prerequisite: 103, 202)
303 The Practice of Remembrance
The classic practice of mystics gives the experience of re-union in stage 5. Remembrance creates an integration of all four dimensions of the heart. (Prerequisite: 106, 203)
104 The Seven Energy Centers
This model of the chakras has been updated from the Hindu system by mystics in the last thousand years, and is aligned with the physics of light. These energy centers in the body are paired and interact around the central heart energetic. Knowledge of the centers and how to activate them allows you to shift your emotions as needed. (Prerequisite: 103) more
204 Energetic Relationships
To make relationships work harmoniously, the energies of those involved must be either similar, complementary or heart-centered. This course extends the study and practice of self-mastery begun in 202 and 203. (Prerequisite: 104, 203)
304 Following the Guidance of Your Heart
Become decisive and confident in your decisions by learning the specific signals your body gives continuously, strengthened by meditation. Develop confidence in your decisions by experience with the accuracy of your intuition. (Prerequisite: 104, 107)
105 The Twelve Archetypes
Recognize the 12 archetypes of the soul, comprising the 4 Elements and the 3 paths, in yourself and others. These source archetypes are idealistic and energetic, giving rise to personality and behavior. The archetypes are identified by non-verbal, objective means and give invaluable insights into the nature of your Self. (Prerequisite: 102)
205 The Noble Character
This course gives the method and practice for developing the great archetypes of the soul from potentials to mature states of being, expressed in your personality. (Prerequisite: 105)
305 Invocation
Referring by name to the qualities and capabilities inherent in all things, and using the vibration of those names to awaken the corresponding aspect of one's Self, brings you to stage 4 of meditation. (Prerequisite: 205)
106 The Steps of Heart Development
This map of adult development explains the sequence of spiritual work starting with the power of mental concentration, then developing the guidance and power of the heart, and progressing to the experience of the common heart of all. By understanding the steps you will know what's behind you and what's ahead of you, what to rely upon in your self and on what to focus your development now. (Prerequisite: 101)
206 The Steps of Relationships
Relationships of all types proceed through stages; stages one through three are common and four through six are exceptional. Learn the challenges of each step and how to transition your business or personal relationship to the next step. (Prerequisite: 106)
306 The Path to Illumination
Beyond the first six steps of personal development are three more steps of the experience of unity consciousness, followed by additional steps of attunement with universal consciousness and energy. (Prerequisite: 106, 107)
107 The Three Egos
Learn the modern model of human transformation that discards no part of the person, replacing the ancient method of Alchemy, which is not holistic. This process of co-creation of the self is aligned with "The Steps of Heart Development" and "The Twelve Archetypes of the Soul." (Prerequisite: 105, 106)
207 Toward Your Life's Purpose
The power of creation within your heart is accessed and applied toward fulfilling the wish of your heart and ultimately the purpose of your life. (Prerequisite: 107)
307 Global Interventions
Radiate Waves of Peace to harmonize and inspire others and transform life situations. This ability accompanies the mystic's sense of global responsibility, beyond personal freedom. (Prerequisite: 207)
