Description Reiki Diploma The diploma course in Reiki includes Reiki 1 and 2. Reiki is a combination of the words 'Rei' - which means universal wisdom - and 'Ki' - which means life force. Reiki deals with the transmitting of life force energy through the hands and the main energy points of the body. Reiki is a deeply relaxing, balancing and soothing exercise that heals on several levels. But that's not all to Reiki. All of our energy systems, i.e. the mind, body and soul, are connected and have an effect on each other. According to Reiki, filling the body with cleansing and healing energy will benefit the mind and soul. The essence of Reiki, therefore, lies in detoxifying the body of harmful energy and healing the mind, body and emotions. What sets Reiki apart from other healing traditions is the process of initiation, called 'attunement'. While other forms of healing are done with the help of an expert or specially gifted therapist, Reiki can be done by anyone. Through the attunement process, students who learn and are initiated into Reiki will be enabled to practice and even impart this healing tradition to others if they wish. This course is divided into two parts, each dealing with Reiki 1 and Reiki 2, giving you all the tools required to practice this unique healing tradition on your own and even impart it to others. The attunements are optional, however, and inessential to complete this diploma course. What is important is that you learn the various techniques in Reiki and that they benefit you in your personal development. This course is offered online and gives you the flexibility to adjust it to your own schedule without having to worry about deadlines and other hassles. What you will learn 1: Introduction to reiki 2: The history of reiki 3: Principles of reiki 4: Preparing for reiki1 5: Preparations for treating others with reiki 6: Understanding the human anatomy 7: Group reiki treatment 8: Introduction to 2nd-degree reiki 9: Symbols in reiki 10: Practising reiki2 11: Distant or absent reiki healing 12: Examples of sending distant reiki healing 13: Treating yourself and others with reiki 14: Reiki for plants and animals 15: Reiki and other healing disciplines Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.

Description Yoga Practitioner Diploma Yoga is a spiritual and ascetic discipline based on the ancient art of gaining deep awareness of our true selves and living in harmony with our environment. The term is derived from the Vedic Sanskrit 'yuj' which means 'to join' or 'to unite'. The practice of yoga incorporated practical, methodical and systematic techniques like breath control, simple meditation and certain body postures to enhance physical and mental health. Yoga makes the body physically strong and flexible and improves the functioning of bodily systems such as respiratory, circulatory, digestive and hormonal systems. Yoga can assist you to gain emotional balance and mental clarity. In the contemporary world, there are many misconceptions regarding this sublime art of spiritual ascension. First of all, yoga is not a religion or a religious practice. Yoga is a secular art which is considered to have originated in India. The origins of yoga can be traced back to the sixth and fifth centuries BCE in the pre-Vedic Indian traditions. Secondly, yoga is not a fad and it does not belong to the East. More than 15 million people in America practice yoga and it has been around in the West for more than a hundred years. Thirdly, yoga is not just about body postures. It is true that specific bodily postures serve as a good starting point for the multifaceted and multi-layered art of yoga. But yoga is in its true essence a path to finding inner peace and being one with nature. Yoga techniques include breathing (pranayama), control of subtle forces (mudra and bandha), cleansing the body-mind (shat karma), visualizations, chanting of mantras, and various other meditative forms in addition to posture (asana). Yoga practitioner diploma is a user-friendly course about the vast and profound field of yoga. The yoga practitioner course takes the aspirants through a slow and step-by-step journey into the art of unlocking one's true potential and helping them to become successful yoga teachers.

While I am already in the Health industry in another field, I found this course added a more in-depth perspective to health from a cellular point of view and clearly linked the importance of nutrition and the incidence of chronic disease. I also found the on- line accessibility user friendly. Emma Rubio, Health Coach Spain I studied the Health and Nutrition certificate first with the Plaskett College to see if what it was taught matched my believes. At the end of that certificate I decided to pursue my studies with Plaskett college to become a Nutritional therapist. For that, I am studying Nutritional medicine and Iridology. During the Health & Nutrition certificate I learnt already about supplements. Now I know which type is best and most absorbable by our body, and the combinations to keep minerals in balance. Thus, I am more confident when I choose supplements for me and my family. I liked that the founder Dr. Plaskett was a doctor in Biochemistry. My background is in science and I wanted to study both the biochemical and the holistic sides of nutrition. I am happy to have a mentor to answer my doubts, and get my assignments reviewed. I like the flexibility they gave me to complete my first certificate. I love the subjects and the way is explained. Catherine Rogers Henley-On-Thames, UK I have found this course extremely enjoyable, user friendly and insightful. The information covered throughout the course was up to date and provided a holistic approach, educating students on nutrition at multiple levels. I found the content of the course easy to read and understand but also challenging when it needed to be. For someone with no prior knowledge of nutrition it was perfect yet was still applicable to student who had prior knowledge on the subjects covered. The course started with the basics to improve your base level understanding and built up the course week by week. Material was extremely user friendly. Materials could be studied through the course book provided or downloaded which was extremely useful for traveling! The tutors provided fantastic feedback. They explained when I got things wrong and were always happy to help. Their contact time was great too. I have thoroughly enjoyed this course on so many levels and I would recommend it to
