ACADEMY OF NATURAL HEALING CERTIFICATION COURSES


How many Lives Are You Changing & What kind of Legacy Are You Leaving?

Dear Prospective Student,

This is a very long letter about our unique and unconventional school. Eighteen pages worth. This may seem like a lot of reading but I know it is essential that you read it if you are seriously looking for the appropriate school to fulfill your passion for a career in natural healing and alternative medicine. I ask, about the legacy you are leaving because you are obviously interested in making a difference in the world, and at some point, those will be the questions that matter most to you. You won't be counting the amount of money you make, the number of clients you see, the amount of information you've memorized on herbs, nutrition, reflexology, homeopathy and acupressure or the number of books you read or write.

Your most important consideration each day will become, "Am I making a difference?" It's a funny thing though and you may not think that it is a very holistic way of looking at things but...When you complete your education in some area of alternative medicine and natural healing if you have not learned how to reach thousands of people annually and bring in at least $100,000 to a half-million dollars a year in your health and healing business - you won't really be making an impact. And that's the honest, hard truth. Now if you're offended - and you may be - let me explain why I'm using the number of clients you will have and the amount of money you make as a measuring stick. Because that's exactly what it is. Really. Here's why...

If you see fifteen clients a week for 52 weeks but you're doing it for a fee of $50 or less - you will not be in a position of great influence. You'll probably be hanging lot's of flyers on health food store bulletin boards, making lot's of follow-up calls to potential clients and sometimes sitting around waiting for occasional clients who just don't show up and don't bother to call..

If you see forty clients a week for 52 weeks but you're doing it for a fee of $75 or less - you will not be in a position of great influence - you're still not making the impact you should. You're briefly in someone's life, then you move on to the next client, and they go on with their life.


If you're really making an impact, you are: 

- Speaking regularly to large groups 
- Selling educational and motivational products 
- Consulting with the influential health food and natural product 
- Companies and organizations in your area of expertise
- Touching thousands or millions of people on a daily basis, through the media, your web site, books, tapes and videos

That's the way the universe works... When you give value - you are rewarded in multiples of that. You do the arithmetic. If you are really making a difference in natural healing and alternative medicine - that translates into at least a $100,000 to a half-million dollars a year in revenues and maybe even more. 

And that needs to be one of the essential compelling, consuming and all-encompassing reasons you will invest your valuable time and money! You know that what you want to do is make difference in the healing and helping professions. You have a deeply felt desire, a passion to do this. And you feel that if you don't do it - you'll explode.

The ironic thing of all this of course, is that you'd do it all for free. But because of the way the laws of prosperity and economic abundance work - you'll end up making hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in addition to making a difference. You'll master essential tools of health
and healing, you'll develop a library of learning resources. You will help to change peoples lives, you'll transform your community, improve your own health, your clients will tell their friends and family about how you have helped them, and you'll create spin off projects that help hundreds and then thousands of people, If you're not there yet - but believe you should be -please read on... 


THERE ARE FIVE RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT TO ACHIEVE AT THE COMPLETION OF ANY OF OUR PROGRAMS:
 
- Making a measurable difference in the lives of others. 
- Eliminating all unnecessary struggle from your life and having a true sense of joy. 
- Having a career in something that you have a true passion for. 
- Having a support network of over 1,600 people to help you take each step on 
- Creating your professional niche and, achieving economic independence (Many of our graduates produce between $75,000 and $200,000 a year.) 


This program is intense - and it's not for everybody. It may not be for you. You may have more of an interest in taking some individual classes in health and healing at the Academy, and we welcome you if that is what you are looking for. 

This program is NOT for procrastinators, brochure collectors, those who enjoy unnecessary struggle, or spectators to the game of life. Although what you learn here will make you highly effective in the healing arts - that is not the only focus of this learning experience. The Academy of Natural Healing -- a nationally certified and accredited educational center-- is a truly unique and amazing place. It is expressly designed for those looking to make a difference in the world, become financially independent, build successful consulting practices, expand their client base, open their own schools, promote seminars, write books, produce audio and video tapes and sell products and consulting services. It's all about how to make an impact with what you do and what you know, which coincidentally, will make you totally financially independent. 

This is no classroom-blackboard kind of school either. We are not only internationally respected for the success we have in producing successful teachers and practitioners but we are also known throughout the world for our unconventional teaching style.


HOW WE TEACH:

Our teaching and class structure is a unique, ancient approach to education. It is based on a combination of Chinese, Talmudic, and Socratic approaches to teacher/student dialogue.

- We don't believe in forcing all students into one mold. 
- We support a mentoring system where advanced students take new students under their wings and support and nurture their growth. 
- We want students to think critically & develop creatively. This cannot happen in an environment limited to book learning, homework and quizzes 
- We want our graduates to make a difference in the world, achieve financial independence and eliminate unnecessary struggle from their lives
- The teaching style we have embraced at the Academy is the shortest means to achieving this result. 

YOU CAN CHOOSE TWO WAYS TO STUDY AT THE ACADEMY

1. The University Track:

This is a traditionally structured learning experience. Classes are built around semesters and a highly organized syllabus. Attendance is taken and the student is given regular homework assignments, is expected to take regularly scheduled quizzes, produce term papers, and pass a final exam. This program begins twice annually: in September and February.

2. The Customized Non-Traditional Track:

As the name implies this learning experience shifts and adjusts to the student's changing interests and schedule requirements. Classes are small (2-6 students) and the student can pick and choose from hundreds of class offerings including distance learning, web-based programs and phone coaching. These different educational approaches enable the student to explore the many approaches to healing and personal development. It also gives them the opportunity to meet other students in different specialties, as they move from class to class. Students in this program are required to attend 90 of their 155 class hours in a chosen specialty. Rolling admission allows flexible class hours to fit your work schedule.

Our programs consist of the most dynamic, interactive training you've ever experienced.



OUR UNCONVENTIONAL TEACHING STYLE OF THE CUSTOMIZED NON-TRADITIONAL TRACK: 

Our approach is the same approach that has been used throughout Asia, particularly in China for thousands of years. It is based on the concept that an effective school has mentoring, community and teamwork as it's foundation. In many parts of Asia, collaboration comes naturally. In this approach, a group of students create a powerful support system, taking the same classes, socializing, calling each other for support and mentoring each other. At the Academy Of Natural Healing the material you study in the classroom will have repercussions for other dimensions of your life. Younger students often are not aware that the context must be broader than their individually lived experience. We hope that by tapping into the best we have to offer you, you will be more apt to discuss material beyond the classroom, and to make connections across the curriculum. 

We encourage collaboration among advanced and entry level students. Many students are prepared to think critically an learn how to be effective healers, but they often lack background. They may recognize evidence, but they often don't have enough general knowledge to transform it into a successful business model. 


THE ADULT LEARNER:

Adult students are very different from traditional college-age students. They are likely to be more sophisticated because they have already had years of life experience and problem solving behind them. In all learning situations there are individual differences, but with adults there is greater disparity of age, education, cultural backgrounds, and reasons for taking a course.

Adult students as a rule will be more insistent on understanding the work and will expect clear and valuable explanations. They will expect the material to be relevant to the curriculum. They have come to the learning market voluntarily and are more sophisticated consumers. They expect value. Above all, adult students WANT to learn. 

THE CAMPUS

We do not have a formal campus. But we offer regular classes. Because our programs allow for the shifting needs of students and their rapidly changing class schedules, classes in New York City are taught at our office on west 72nd Street and on west 34th Street. We also rent classrooms at other learning centers. Some very specialized classes may even be taught in the homes of faculty members. We also offer workshops and seminars throughout the world and have web-based and distance learning programs.

Introductory Programs starting at $197.00
America is looking for creative techniques that reduce chronic stress, emotional struggle & physical illness while improving quality of life.


Here's how to decide if this program is right for you (please read carefully)

Please finish this letter and see which of our curriculums works best for you:  

1) "Who is this guy anyway? The nerve of him, sending me an offer like this! He's so pushy and arrogant. He can't be very spiritual or New Age? I'm in no hurry anyway. Let me think about it for a year or two. It's probably all hype. If this school is so successful why don't they produce a big fancy, sixty page, four color brochure. I don't believe they can really be helping all those people and also make a lot of money - and they did - it's probably because they got lucky, or they're using some sophisticated, complicated approach to marketing that wouldn't work for me."

If that is the conclusion you reach -Please stop reading this letter now! But if you are open to a different way of seeing things then consider Conclusion number two: "Well I've checked around and I can see that this school is the real deal. I read Lewis Harrison's books, I've heard the success stories from past graduates and even called some of them. I have a lot of faith in myself, passion for what I do, and I know I should be impacting a lot more people with my visions, desires, passions and message.

I'm ready to step into a bigger arena. I can see that I would really be good as a teacher and practitioner in the healing arts. I've got something important to contribute - what I really need now is to not only study the healing arts but also the essential skills and knowledge in the selling and marketing aspects of this invaluable knowledge. Lewis has demonstrated that he can do that. I mean, anybody who can get me to read a letter this long has got to be pretty good at marketing!

And if this is your conclusion, then this program is exactly right for you. If so, come to our little office on 72nd Street for an interview or call us on the phone and get all of your objections or doubts addressed so you can start sooner rather than latter.

This class will give you a chance to see if the training is really what I say it is. Even though the class is introductory stuff by Academy standards - it's still enough that from this class of two or three people with a master you can see if this is the school for you. This is your first no-risk protection. If you don't see the value in this opportunity - say farewell. You and you alone are the judge. I can't be any fairer than that.

If you want to take the next step, we will schedule an in depth interview. You can sign up for the training choose whatever payment plan you prefer (That will allow you to pay the tuition from the extra money you earn from what you learn at the Academy) and I can give you what we call, Pre Training "homework," which you must complete BEFORE you begin attending your classes. This homework will take you between 1- 2 hours to do. This homework will have you thinking so much more effectively, that if you go out and apply what you learn just from doing it, you can earn an extra $5,000-$10,000 this year! Really.

This homework, it will prepare you to get the most out of the training. You'll come to your classes with a much higher level of consciousness and the ability to grasp the harder topics easier. As a result of this you can proceed faster.

2) It will take some of the basic training out of classes. This will free up time to devote to new things that we want to teach you and that you can't get just from reading a book. It will allow you to concentrate on the more advanced stuff.

3) It will give you a true sense of all the possibilities that are available to you in the healing professions.

NOTE: Once you begin I will be speaking with you every ten days or so through the duration of the training help define and refine your program.

Throughout your training, you'll learn a lot of the details on how to create aromatherapy oils, herbal products, nutritional products, develop educational tape albums, videos, books, booklets and other learning resources. Throughout your training we'll do brief reviews, always ready to answer any questions you have, and as your learn more about health and healing we can spend the necessary time on how you MARKET all these healing skills, and these products. You'll study the ancient healing techniques and systems and how to present through cutting-edge technology. Tap into the Internet, and when you are ready, we can teach you how to design a complete e-commerce web site that presents your health and healing knowledge and sells your books, tapes, speeches and consulting services, all over the world, even while you sleep!


STUDENTS GET PERSONAL ATTENTION AT THE ACADEMY

One of the unique benefits of our support programs is unlimited free counseling and coaching. When a person who is not a student at the Academy hires one of our consultants and coaches, they usually pay $150 per hour for this service. When you are an active student at the Academy you receive all coaching, counseling and consulting support, FREE of charge. Some students, who have successfully completed our program, have received over $10,000 worth of coaching, counseling and consulting for FREE during their course of study.

- Now is there anything I have said to you here that you know to be anything but the truth?
- Would you like to help others while becoming financially independent?
- Would you like to eliminate unnecessary struggle from your life?
- Would you like to make a living at something you have a true passion for?

If the answer is yes to these questions then it is time to call me and move on to the next step....but before you call me I want you to think about how physically, emotionally and financially prepared you are to walk through the door to financial abundance in the business of natural healing and alternative medicine.
