Department of Healing Class Listing

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the means by which bystanders can help a person whose breathing and/or heartbeat have stopped. Properly performed, CPR can save lives. It is taught by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross. You may receive 1 Grey School credit (Dept. of Healing) simply by submitting evidence of current CPR certification and answering a few simple questions.

Please note that to request this class, you must already hold a CPR card.  This class does NOT teach CPR as doing so on line will not meet the requirements of certification.

Being the first person on the scene of an accident or injury can be a frightening experience.  If that person is properly trained in simple first aid procedures it can make all the difference for the person who has been injured.  Someone who is properly trained can give reassurance, physical comfort, prevent infection, stop bleeding and, in some cases, save a life.  Certification in First Aid is taught by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross, although there are other agencies that offer national accreditation. As long as I can sufficiently verify that the first aid course card submitted is from a nationally (in the country for which the certification was granted)  accredited institution, you may receive 1 Grey School credit (Dept. of Healing) simply by submitting evidence of current First Aid certification and answering a few simple questions.

Please note that to request this class, you must already hold a First Aid card.  This class does NOT teach First Aid as doing so on line will not meet the requirements of certification.

Reiki is a Japanese form of healing that is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. It involves the transfer of universal healing energy through the practitioner to the patient to enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki students study theory and practice and then are “attuned” or “awakened” (and certified) by experienced Reiki practitioners. Attunement to the 1st Degree of Reiki is required for acceptance into a Reiki II class.

In this class, Gray School students who have received a first-degree Reiki attunement may obtain 1 credit by presenting their certification and answering a few very simple questions.

NOTE: You are only required to send a copy of your Certification, and then may apply to take the final exam. There are no other essays required for this class. Ignore if they continue to show below.

 Please send all correspondence re the class to me at provost@greyschool.com.

The attunement should generally be received in person, rather than at a distance.  A copy of the Certificate needs to be sent to the Instructor for review.

Please send all communications to EmrhysStarhawk@GreySchool.com and put GSW in the subject header.

This class teaches you to become familiar with the properties in Crystals, Stones, and Gemstones that can be using in Healing. Incorporating stones into your healing sessions can be of great benefit. The properties of stones can increase the positive results and help you to achieve a higher percentage of that success. This class also guides you to choose some easily accessible stones that become the foundation of your healing set.  As you become more proficient with stones and explore others, your collection is sure to grow as you determine the stones that resonate with you.

The class teaches the history, techniques, and method of the energy healing technique known as Reiki. REIKI (ray-key) is spiritual healing through a laying-on of hands.

For those students who demonstrate understanding and maturity, and with an approval of teacher, optional distant attunement in Reiki, I will be available through the teacher. Certification will be issued by the teacher, who is a Usui Reiki Master. Although this class is titled Reiki 201, that only refers to the level in the Grey School of Wizardry curriculum. This is a class in material for Reiki I, and any attunement given will be the Reiki I degree only.

Office Hours

My official hours are Tues. and Thurs.l 10am-11am EST. In addition  I do my best to log on both to the school as well as to my email every day or two but it might take me a couple of days to reply to any questions or comments.  I welcome the opportunity for discussion and debate, either in the class essays or with me personally about any given material presented.  There are no stupid questions.  Feel free to contact me at  aamberphoenix@yahoo.com  at any time, just be patient when waiting for a reply.  If a reply will take some thought and therefore longer than a few days to respond to, I will send you a message noting that.  

Attunement & Certification Requirements (Basic Reiki / Reiki 1st degree)

Upon completion of the class an attunement in Reiki I is an option available through the professor. If the student lives within 50 miles of the professor's home, such an attunement will be given in person. It is the student's obligation to arrange the attunement with the professor to take place at the professor's home or designated location. Given the online nature of the school, a distant attunement in Reiki I is an option available through the professor for those living outside of the 50 mile radius of the professor's home. Acceptance of either attunement is at the discretion of the professor and is not guaranteed. Any denials of a requested attunement/certification will be reviewed by the Dean of the Healing Department of GSW.

The optional attunement is available only upon completion of the following requirements and is not an automatic part of the class. There is no additional credit for this option. However the student will be eligible to take the Reiki Certification class for credit.

Requirements for all attunements are:

1) The student must demonstrate understanding, sincerity, dedication and high ethical standards throughout the class.

2) The student must complete the class with an excellent grade of at least 90 percent or above. 

3) The student must request an attunement and explain in a detailed essay a) why they want an attunement and b) what they plan to do with it.

4) To obtain a distant attunement, student must certify that they are located more than 50 miles from the professor’s home (please contact professor to determine location).

Before certification of the attunement is issued the student must complete the requirements above, as well as those below:

To receive certification the student must:

1) Give a Reiki treatment to at least 10 people other than themselves, each treatment to last a minimum of ½ hour.

2) Document each treatment and the results with client feedback, and send this to the professor.

3) Allow at least a month between attunement and certification. During this period the student is encouraged to be in contact with the teacher as needed, at least once a week to report on how many Reiki sessions were completed, and to provide results and client feedback. Contact the teacher immediately if any question or difficulty arises.

The student report should include:

a) did the client appear relaxed during the session? Was the client receptive or resistant? If resistant what did you do about that?
b) Were you, as practitioner, careful to preserve your own energy and only channel Reiki energy during the healing session?
c) How did you feel after the session? Relaxed? Energized? Tired? Other?
 d) Did you ask for feedback from the client and what was it?
 e) Please check back with your client within a week for further feedback. Include this  in your report to the professor. 

Healing is serious business. In some cases, it can quite literally be the difference between life and death. Even in less extreme circumstances, a healer can have a huge impact - both positive and negative - on the lives of her patients. This is why years of study, practice, and comprehensive exams are required in order for people to legally practice most healing modalities. If you decide to take the path of the healer, there are a lot of ethical considerations you must come to terms with.

What do you really need to survive? I really mean “survive”, nothing more? If you’re thinking air, water, and food you’re on the right track. (No, your I-phone is really not necessary for survival!) In this class we will deal with two of these components: food and water. Food is what fuels our bodies. Without water, we would not be able to survive for very long. Basic food components are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Additionally, our bodies need vitamins and trace minerals. In this class, you will learn what all these food components do within our bodies, and estimate how much of each of them you will need.

This course teaches a student how to use Reflexology for themselves and family. Reflexology is a holistic healing method that uses pressure and massage on the hands, ears, and feet. This process will stimulate the organs in the body.  Performing reflexology on the corresponding pressure points stimulates our systems to heal themselves.  This class is hands-on work that uses stimulation of the circulatory and lymphatic systems to release toxins for self-healing.  Students will need to know basic Human Anatomy.

Journal or loose leaf notebook, pens, pencils.  ***Student must be age 18 or above.

Healers need to have a basic understanding of the human body, how it functions, and all the bodies many organs and systems.
