We welcome your inquiries about our next training and certification course. We are starting our next class on January 18, 2012. Classes are being held at the Bioenergy Balancing Center, at 1239 Cedar Street, in Palo Alto, California. People have already started to sign up, and the new brochure will be ready by the end of this weekend. You can ask for one to be sent to you, or you can pick it up at any Bioenergy Balancing Center where you happen to be.

The training has been structured as five Units of 8 weeks, meeting every Wednesday evening from 7 to about 11. At the end of each Unit there is a break of one week, and then we start the next Unit. It goes from the middle of January until the week before Thanksgiving, in November.

Class Descriptions

Unit 1: Introduction: Concepts of bioenergy, muscle testing, matching meridians with related muscles, tendon and bone structures, bone alignment, nerve conduction to the muscle fibers.

Unit 2: Digestive issues: vibrational "conversations" with stomach, pancreas, liver, small and large intestines, parasite testing and what to suggest. This unit also covers allergies, how to identify and release them.

Unit 3: Fluids of the body, lymph, blood, red cells, white cells, and the transfer of fluid to the lymphatic system, how natural immunity works, autoimmune issues, and the impact of vaccination, radiation, and genetically modified foods.

Unit 4: Nervous system, nerve conduction and the role of electrolytes, brain structures and function, how to identify and derive neurotransmitters, and work with neurological health challenges.

Unit 5: Individual characteristics and interactions of the amino acids, B-vitamins, oil soluble vitamins, and how to coordinate this information within various systems. In essence it is a review of the biochemical and bioenergetic connections that have been covered throughout the year.

The course has been designed for those who want to learn Bioenergy Balancing, seeking to become certified professional Bioenergy Balancing Practitioner. It is also very useful for those who wish to work with the health of family and friends in a non-professional situation. Another very important possibility is for people who already have a professional practice doing something related, and choose to integrate it into their work, without necessarily putting a Balancing Center practice together as an independent business.

The presentation in the classes is concentrated, and it moves quickly. This training is being team-taught by a group of very gifted and experienced certified Bioenergy Balancing Practitioners, Antonia VanBecker and Greg Lee, Priscilla Kapel and Claire Heisterberg, Valerie Lathrop, Renee Tennant, and Steve and MaryAnn Orsary, for Units 1 through 5, respectively. Priscilla Kapel will be doing the Sunday intuition training.

Unfortunately this year we are not able to offer a Long Distance thread, parallel to the Palo Alto thread of the training and certification course. This option may be reinstated at another time.

When it is reinstated, the Long Distance thread will include a weekly DVD-video of the lectures and demonstrations that had been presented to the live class in Palo Alto. This will be followed by a telephone conference-call class on Saturday mornings (Pacific time) for the development and integration of your dialogue skills, taught by practitioners who work with many of their clients over the telephone. We will arrange for a few intensive weekends for out of town people to come to the Balancing Center in California, stay with us for a few days, and work directly hands-on in person with their instructors.

Prerequisite: Each student must have experienced at least one Bioenergy Balancing session. Long-distance people need to have had a few phone sessions.

Class Schedule

•  Each unit consists of 10 classes:

•  8 lecture / lab sessions for the Palo Alto thread (Wednesday from 7 - 11 p.m.)

•  2 intuition development sessions (Sunday from 10 - 3:00 p.m.) Priscilla will be teaching the intuition classes this year.

As the class progresses and you become proficient in Bioenergy Balancing, perhaps opportunities to apprentice as a co-practitioner may be available at the Balancing Center in Palo Alto with Priscilla. We recommend that you practice with each other to reinforce the material, and become more at ease with the testing, so that the conversations with the body-consciousness can eventually feel very natural and spontaneous.

•  Tuition Per Unit (10 classes): $775

A $75 discount with be given for early registration.   To qualify for early registration, full payment for the unit must be received at least two weeks before the first class of the unit.

•  Materials (first year only):   $750 includes:  

•  Two-volume textbook (over 1100 pages written and illustrated by Priscilla Kapel)

•  Binder of color reproductions detailing charts and posters used in class

•  Audio recordings of all lectures and intuition classes

If you choose to become a certified Bioenergy Balancing Practitioner, you will take the class twice. During the first year, the material is designed to provide an overview of the physical and energetic systems of the body, their interplay, and how to create positive change within these systems, using one's knowledge, intuition, and experience.  

The second year develops proficiency and deepens your understanding of the material. During this year, you integrate the knowledge and refine clinical aspects to develop an organized approach---progressing from student, to intern, to professional practitioner.

Practitioner candidates must also complete the open-book/take-home exams (one/unit) and pass the qualifying exam given by the Bioenergy Examining Board.This exam consists of a verbal section as well as a practicum to evaluate your knowledge, hands-on skills and your client rapport.  

The qualifying exam is given after the two-year course is completed. Practitioner candidates go through this process together. Test materials are provided in advance so that you will know ahead of time what you might be asked. The exam process is designed to be non-threatening, and is intended to review your skills and knowledge both technically and clinically, in a friendly exchange with your examining board.

Upon fulfilling these requirements, you will receive a certificate authorizing you to practice Bioenergy Balancing as a professional health practitioner. Certified practitioners may use the Bioenergy Balancing name and logo.
