The Demand for Holistic Health Careers and Practitioners  
 
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine recently reported that approximately 38 percent of adults in the United States are using some form of complementary or alternative medicine (CAM). This includes the following types of treatment modalities:
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2014-15 Occupational Outlook Handbook, the holistic health, alternative medicine and wellness industry has increased substantially since 2002, and all signs point to continued growth in the popularity of CAM through 2022.
 
A large number of people are willing to pay for this kind of health care, since CAM is usually not paid by health insurance. This growing demand makes it an excellent time to begin a career as a holistic health practitioner. See our Holistic Health Care Certification Program below.

Inner Harmony Training - Further Information
 
Please bring: paper and pen for taking notes, pillows, cushions, yoga mats or whatever you need for sitting comfortably on the floor, and potluck vegetarian or vegan food.
 
Inner Harmony Training provides spiritual teachings for people of all religions as well as people who have no particular religion. There is no dogma, only universal spiritual truths that are accessible through mystical experiences and have been expressed in virtually all traditions, regardless of religion or culture. Without seeking to change one's religion, and without encouraging anyone to acquire a religion, the goal is to enhance one's spiritual practices, understanding, and experiences of the Divine within oneself and one's life. Perhaps the only prerequisite belief is that Sacredness exists within us, beyond us, and among us.
This class is for those who have already chosen to be on a spiritual path, and who have begun to commit to it, and also for those who have been on a spiritual path for decades. Even if you have been pursuing spiritual practices for many years, this class may still provide valuable tools such as:

- Powerfully effective meditation techniques, ways to describe subtle energy to those who don't know about life force energy
- understandings of various spiritual worldviews and their implications for life today
- ways to understand people's worldviews in relation to the chakras 
- an introduction to Divine energies and intentions as Higher Beings who are able to provide assistance, protect us, and work with us for the healing of others
- ways to enhance our experience of the Divine personally and for the sake of others
 - preparation for becoming a healer through raising one's vibration, expanding one's understanding of the chakras, and connecting with Higher Beings who assist with healing
The Lightworker aspect of Inner Harmony Training recognizes that most of us on the spiritual path choose to be of service to a greater good. In class, we emphasize practices that can enable us to be of greater service to the Highest Good of all life.
 
Uniquely blending Eastern and Western spiritual concepts, Rev. Carol "Anandi" Richardson encourages each person to discover and to share her or his Core Self, and to share as well as to enhance their own spiritual journey. One way that Anandi uniquely does this is by affirming the importance of the balance of the sacred feminine with the sacred masculine, honored equally, and expressed within and through each individual.
 
This class is Level One of a Harmony Training series, accredited through the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine. Level Two is Harmony Healing, a form of energy healing that synthesizes techniques and has been developed through Carol "Anandi." Level Three is Harmony Coaching, an intuitive form of coaching to enable others to fulfill their Divine potential, finding peace & harmony within.
