Master Level
For the advanced practitioners in IAM, these courses lead to the great goal of mysticism, stage five: the experience of being the microcosm of the macrocosm.
101 Heart Rhythm Meditation
Learn basic Heart Rhythm Meditation, the method of feeling your heartbeat and synchronizing your breath to produce a rhythmically-changing heart rate. This heart rate pattern gives cardiac strength and emotional power, and makes living from the heart attainable. You will learn and practice the Conscious Breath, Full-Breath, Rhythmic Breath, Swinging Breath, and the Heart's Guidance. No previous experience with meditation is required. more
201 Teaching Physiological and Emotional Self-Regulation through Breath Control and Biofeedback
Use Heart Rhythm Meditation to reduce stress and fatigue, lower blood pressure, halt arrhythmia, increase HRV, and improve immune response, circulation and sleep. The ancient method is taught with modern biofeedback to monitor Heart Rate Variability, exhaled CO2 level, Vital Capacity, skin temperature, and the magnetic field. more
301 Experiencing the Universal Heart
Purify your heart through the experience of the Infinite, Perfect and Eternal Heart of the Universe. This creates a stable stage 3 meditation. (Prerequisite: 202)
102 The Four Elemental Energies
The four subtle energies -- Earth, Water, Fire and Air -- are the energetic building blocks of creation. By recognizing the Elements in all activities, things and beings, you gain insight into the invisible and inner forms behind the outer forms. The Elements are the omnipresent, inexhaustible forces that heal and develop your heart. By the use of these energies, you can shift your attitude and approach, and expand consciousness. Based on the book, Living from the Heart. (Prerequisite: 101) more
202 Restoring Optimism
Restore your natural optimism and attain real self-confidence, confidence in the power of your heart, by the application of the four Elemental Energies in Heart Rhythm Meditation. (Prerequisite: 102)
302 Global Interventions
Radiate Waves of Peace to harmonize and inspire others and transform life situations. This ability accompanies the mystic's sense of global responsibility, beyond personal freedom. Participate in a scientific study of the effects of Heart Rhythm Meditation on violent crime in a distant city. (Prerequisite: 202)
103 The Four Dimensions of the Heart
Based on the book, Energize Your Heart in Four Dimensions. Practice using the "Six Basic Powers" to develop the four dimensions of your energetic/emotional heart, the model at the core of Energy Psychology. Apply the dimensions of your heart with the "Exercises for Life." (Prerequisite: 102)
203 Energizing the Four Dimensions of the Heart with Sound
Learn to use self-produced, cosmic sounds that directly stimulate your heart. Audio spectrum analyzers and amplitude -vs- time graphs are used for feedback in practicing these intense sounds and demonstrating their effectiveness. The attainment of a meditative state is made rapid and reliable, allowing you to live from your heart in daily life. (Prerequisite: 103, 202)
303 Invocation
Referring by name to the qualities and capabilities inherent in all things, and using the vibration of those names to awaken the corresponding aspect of one's Self, brings you to stage 4 of meditation. (Prerequisite: 203)
104 The Seven Energy Centers
This model of the chakras has been updated from the Hindu system by mystics in the last thousand years, and is aligned with the physics of light. These energy centers in the body are paired and interact around the central heart energetic. Knowledge of the centers and how to activate them allows you to shift your emotions as needed. (Prerequisite: 103)
204 Energetic Relationships
To make relationships work harmoniously, the energies of those involved must be either similar, complementary or heart-centered. This course extends the study and practice of self-mastery begun in 202 and 203. (Prerequisite: 104, 203)
304 The Practice of Remembrance
The classic practice of mystics gives the experience of re-union in stage 5. Remembrance creates an integration of all four dimensions of the heart. It uses the energetic pairing of center #3 and #6 to effectively focus energy into the Heart. (Prerequisite: 104, 303)
105 The Twelve Archetypes
Recognize the 12 archetypes of the soul, comprising the 4 Elements and the 3 paths, in yourself and others. These source archetypes are idealistic and energetic, giving rise to personality and behavior. The archetypes are identified by non-verbal, objective means and give invaluable insights into the nature of your Self. (Prerequisite: 102)
205 Accomplishing Your Heart's Wish
The method for choosing and accomplishing your next goal depends on your archetype, and the work of accomplishment can develop the great archetypes of your soul from potentials to mature states of being, usable in your life. Here we discover and practice the methods of extraordinary success used by the great saints, masters and prophets. (Prerequisite: 105)
305 Following the Guidance of Your Heart
Become decisive and confident in your decisions by learning the specific signals your body gives continuously, strengthened by meditation. Develop confidence in your decisions by experience with the accuracy of your intuition. (Prerequisite: 107, 304)
106 The Steps of Heart Development
Locate yourself in the map that spans the whole sequence of adult development, starting with the power of mental concentration, through the mystical awakening of the guidance and power of the heart, and progressing to the ultimate experience of the common heart of all. By understanding the steps you will know what's behind you and what's ahead of you, what to rely upon in your self and on what to focus your development now. (Prerequisite: 101)
206 The Steps of Relationships
Relationships of all types proceed through stages; stages one through three are common and four through six are exceptional. Learn the challenges of each step and how to transition your business or personal relationship to the next step. (Prerequisite: 106)
306 The Path to Illumination
Beyond the first six steps of personal development are three more steps of the experience of unity consciousness, followed by additional steps of attunement with universal consciousness and energy. (Prerequisite: 106, 107)
107 The Three Egos
Use the modern model of human transformation that discards no part of the person, replacing the ancient method of Alchemy, which is not holistic. This process of co-creation of the self is aligned with "The Steps of Heart Development" and "The Twelve Archetypes of the Soul." (Prerequisite: 105, 106)
207 Toward Your Life's Purpose
The power of creation within your heart is accessed and applied toward fulfilling the wish of your heart and ultimately the purpose of your life. (Prerequisite: 107)
307 The Levels of Reality
Experience the Seven Planes, the levels of reality from vibration to matter which encompass the seen and unseen, inner and outer aspects of all life, in stages 3 through 5 of meditation. (Prerequisite: 107, 207)
108 The Message of the Heart
The message of the heart is both familiar and radical. It incorporates the wisdom of the past and prepares us to fulfill our lives. Here we both study and experience the teachings of the path of the heart which have been developed and refined up to the present day as instructions to humanity: how to live in the only manner that can sustain our evolution -- from the heart. The key principles of the heart will be derived, demonstrated and discussed. Heart-centered philosophy will be clarified by contrast with popular books and teachings that are definitely not heart-centered. (Prerequisite: 101)
208 The Nature of Self
 
Coursing through all traditions, cultures and religions is a progressive revelation of the nature of self, the one reality and the relationship between them. From the point-of-view of the heart, religion and philosophy across the ages has developed in humanity an ever-richer realization of the divinity of the human being. (Prerequisite: 108)
308 The Spiritual Network
How to take one's place in the hierarchy and synarchy of beings who inspire and guide the progressive steps of humanity's evolution. (Prerequisite: 108)
