OUR COURSES FOR THE PUBLIC include mental imagery, dreams, face reading, Kabbalah, and western spirituality. Through these experiential classes, participants gain entry to the inner language of the mind. This leads to a new way of thinking, feeling and being in the world.

OUR TRAINING PROGRAM FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS offers postgraduate training programs for mental health care practitioners and other health care practitioners that lead to certificates of completion. We provide a new paradigm of health that posits an intrinsic unity between the mind and the body.

Meditations on the Tarot (MOTT)

This class explores the extraordinary text written by an Unknown Friend. The work unfolds one of the most profound western spiritual forms of training and practice as encapsulated in the 22 major arcana of the Tarot. The book provides the most significant set of practices - such as thinking by analogy, concentration without effort, turning work into play, etc. - to accomplish the task of putting our fragmented selves in order and to discover unitary consciousness.

Roots of the Bible (ROTB) Friedrich Weinreb’s extraordinary book, Roots of the Bible explores the relationship between myth, image, and scripture. This book opens new vistas in understanding the hidden meanings embedded within the Bible. Weinreb’s original and mind altering discoveries deliver the key to understanding human life, our purpose and our passage here on Earth - all embodied in the Bible in non-denominational terms. The Bible is the link between Heaven and Earth showing how we can develop a non-linear perception of life through

intuition and revelation called vertical thinking. I view Weinreb’s work as a companion piece to Meditations On The Tarot. Email [email protected] for instructions on ordering the book.

Group Enlightenment Experience (GEE Class)

Over the years, I have reflected on my own illuminative experience with Colette and realized that illumination grows out of daily life experiences and how we respond to them. This experiential class is designed to penetrate into the phenomena of your everyday experience to create a break or rupture in your life to accomplish the work of enlightened consciousness, and maintain it thereafter. We will discover how daily experience is the ground out of which our illumination/enlightenment emerges.

Selected Readings from The Science of Man by Dr. Robert Gibson. Steeped in the western spiritual tradition, this 20th century guide lays out a new education and weekly practical exercises.

Ultimately each of us may create for ourselves a spiritual body of light.

Group Imagery Healing Experience

Group imagery is a healing and transformational process. It is neither group therapy, nor even a therapy at all. Rather, through the function of mental imagery (sometimes referred to as “visualizations”) we are able to access our inner source of wisdom to direct us favorably through life. The presence of the group highlights the understanding that imagery is the shared social language of the world uniting us all. Here everyone participates in a mutually collaborative way and is mutually enriched, not only by one’s own inner discoveries, but also by

hearing the inner discoveries of others. As one former group member put it: “doing imagery by myself is fine, but doing it within the group not only amplified the experience, but also elevated and heightened it to a greater level of impact.”

Each series focuses on a different theme of healing and transformation.

Group Dream: Reading the Book of Your Life

The inner world of the dream is one of revelation and information that provides us direction in navigating beneficially through everyday life. This process of dream reading – not to be confused with dream analysis or interpretation – is a special language of images that can be read like any other word based language. However, instead of words, it is a picture language, akin to the picture/hieroglyph language of ancient Egypt.

Meeting weekly in this intimate group setting, we learn to read and understand this language. The interchange that ensues enlarges everyone’s scope of understanding and knowledge. One person’s dream is everyone’s dream as we uncover common themes of life in our shared inner “book of

life.” During these classes you discover: to think by analogy

(the key to reading images); repair disturbing dreams and thereby repair your life; come to know the essential elements of Western spirituality; see the connection of dreams to the I Ching (Chinese Book of Changes). Your dreams, as experienced in the group setting, become a binding force uniting us all.

FREE TO CHOOSE THE LIFE YOU WANT! Take the PIP Program

An online 3-step 21-day program of changeby Drs. Elizabeth Barrett & Dr. Epstein

We all want change, we all want to be free, but how do we bring this about? The Power Imagery Process (PIP) calls upon your own inner Power to invoke changes in yourself and in your life. How PIP works: First, you fill out a 10 minute online profile that measures your current ability to change as well as the blockages that keep you stuck. Next, the PIP 21-day program teaches you to take charge of yourself through a 3-step 21-day individualized program - based on your unique profile. For the next 21 days, you practice tailored visualization exercises and a technique of will. The results: a newfound freedom to act intentionally, creatively, and harmoniously in your life. PIP makes change easy! Without change, we remain reflexively stuck in the same habits that stop us from being in the flow of life. Power properly used is freedom to choose the life we want where we knowingly participate in change. www.powerimagery.com

AIMI TRAINING PROGRAM FOR Healthcare Professionals:

A BodyMindSpirit Wholistic Approach to HealingFor Mental health care professionals & others healing

professionals

OPEN HOUSE: Monday, 7:00 PM September 10, 2012! ! ! 16 East 96th Street, Suite 1A! ! ! 212-369-4080

OVERVIEWSpiritually-Based Certificate Training Program for All Health Care Professional: The American Institute for Mental Imagery (AIMI) offers a spiritually-based training program open to all healthcare professionals. Upon completion of the coursework requirements, group supervision, and personal imagery work, we award mental health care professional a certificate of completion in Imagination, Phenomenology and Mental Imagery. Other healthcare professionals receive certificates as well.

Expect a program of self transformation: Our motto is learn by doing. And it all starts with you! As you apply this work to yourself, you can apply this work to your clients.

Learn a wholistic model of health: This training provides you with a comprehensive model of healing and re-education for your clients based in mental imagery (visualization) and cognitive techniques. This new model, called “phenomenology”, looks at ourselves in our wholeness. Instead of dissecting ourselves into compartmentalized beings having physical issues, separate emotional issues, we examine the

interconnectedness of our social, mental, physical, emotional, and even moral issues.

No judgments, just possibilities: Learn a 3 tiered model to address your clients issues: provide solutions for immediate problems, deeper work to get to the source of habitual “core” issues, and a framework for applying universal spiritual understanding/principalʼs to oneʼs life.

Teach your clients to let go of the past: This approach is centered in the moment of now: we are not concerned with delving into the content of our past personal history or concerns about the future (i.e. “how did my past physical and emotional experiences create me to be like this now?” or “how the uncertainty of the future paralyzes action in the current moment?”). Instead clients discover answers by accessing their own inner wisdom through techniques such as mental imagery and awakening their will to change.

Spiritual, Yes; Practical Yes! Spiritually based, we start with the premise that there is a larger consciousness and connectivity that pervades the universe. This is not abstruse esoterica; everything studied here is meant to inform and enrich both your and your clientʼs daily lives.

No more Professional Burnout: A new healing partnership between the “sufferer” (client/patient) and the “therapeutic friend” forms when the healer-practitioner accepts the sufferer without preconceived ideas, prejudices, and labels. Instead the patient is accepted for who and what they are without judgmental critique. There is no need to “fix” the client. This new relationship sets the stage for recovery, restoration to health, and healing to take place.
