The accredited Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Holistic Counselling and Mind-Body Medicine courses have been designed, refined and successfully taught for the past twenty years to produce multi-skilled therapists with a high level of self development. The course embodies human health modalities from Indigenous, Eastern and Western sources to present a modern holistic framework through which a therapist can offer the widest range of options for those who seek their services. The course harmoniously combines bodies of knowledge such as psychology, nutrition, physiology, biochemistry, quantum physics, indigenous metaphysics, yoga and qi kung, (all usually seen as describing different universes), within a practical and dynamic therapeutic structure. Through hands-on learning at every stage the student continually builds on their individual qualities and proficiency as a therapist. Mind-Body Medicines are also presented as a practical tool in the course. The Mind-Body Medicine of Flower Essence Therapy has been chosen to be studied in depth as an area of specialisation throughout the course due to its ancient to modern knowledge base, safety in application and ease of use. Other Mind-Body Medicines such as Homeopathy, Ayurveda or Traditional Chinese Medicine, are offered as electives. Students benefit throughout the course of their study by hands-on experience of the practical healing tools studied in these professional qualifications. These experiences are offered via; - practical exercises, visualisations, treatments in class or through assigned practical exercises they are expected to perform with family and friends
- attendance at the student clinic both as a client and as a trainee therapist
- consultation with professional mind-body medicine practitioners - graduates of the LiFE Academy

ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE SUBCONSCIOUS (ATS 102) |
 |
 |
 |
|
(module previously called Diagnostic Keys to the Subconscious, Dynamic Life Counselling)
A number of dynamic assessment tools are presented in this module, which penetrate beneath the conscious mind to the subconscious patterning beneath. In this subconscious layer of mind lie the impression of events on the individual consciousness and attitudes towards the event and any future similar events. These Survival and Wisdom Concepts are revealed by using this module’s assessments techniques along with the opportunities for healing and growth through the application of Mind-Body Medicines. The holistic counselling aspect helps in identifying health and well being goals and which states of mind can enhance or hinder attaining these goals. Baths, sprays and oral doses of Flower Essence Therapy are presented along with meditations to enhance therapy in between counselling sessions and the therapist’s own personal development.

FLOWER ESSENCE MIND – BODY MEDICINE (FEM 101) |
|
|
|
|
(module previously called Healing Pathways)
This module presents the Mind-Body Medicine of Flower Essence Therapy and Colour (Chroma) Therapy through the therapeutic qualities of 88 flowers. Flower Essence Therapy’s oldest known tradition is the South West Australian Aboriginal Bibulmun tradition which goes back to the global ice age (of 10 to 15 thousand years ago) and there are other historical and modern traditions in other lands. Each flower property epitomises a positive response to a common difficulty and enables analysis of the role attitudes play in creating both patterns of behaviour and an individual’s everyday realities. The 88 scenarios also offer a platform to discuss the common, personal mind/physical problems as they are presented in the clinical situation as well as the difficulties arising when a person is communicating such problems to the therapist. Also included in this section are Mind-Body Medicines used on Traditional Chinese acu points for common problems such as stress, pain, energy loss, nausea fainting and sleeplessness caused by worry. |

PATHWAYS FOR MENTAL WELL BEING (PMW 101) |
|
|
|
|
(modules previously called Happiness and Health, Psychology of Self)
The course starts by defining the holistic perspective incorporating Western, Eastern and Indigenous sciences in the planetary knowledge-bank and health outcomes of the present day state of human health. The continuing health crisis, equalled by increasing medical interventions in both physical and mental health, begs the question; What is driving all these health outcomes and can anything be done? In this module Happiness is studied as both motivation and energy source. Why do genuinely happy people have more energy and better physical and mental health outcomes? Why aren’t these people likely to suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or become addicted to legal or illegal drugs? To answer such questions the Happiness Diary and Archetypal behaviours are studied as therapeutic assessment tools, revealing how happiness goals as a parent, a lover, son, daughter, colleague or individual seeking self-development motivate the behaviours behind the health statistics. |
