Directional Psychology & Healing
What are truly the deepest human needs? Beneath a myriad of more superficial
concerns, we find such recurring themes as happiness, security, love, and inner
peace. By focusing on the needs of the individual, rather than abstract concepts,
the goal becomes helping each person sort through their many dreams, ideals, and
hoped-for attainments to determine which ones will be ultimately satisfying and
beneficial. Directional Psychology helps people to clarify their
ideals, understand what they really want; and choose directions in which they themselves
would like to move.
In the Directional Psychology and Healing program, students complete
a basic study of yoga philosophy as well as classes on Quotients of Human Development,
The Tools & Stages of Maturity, Creating Harmonious Relationships, Foundations
of Emotional Health, Intuitional Counseling, Subtle Energy Healing, The Body-Mind
Connection, and A Yogic Approach to Physical, Psychological and Spiritual Health.
Individual Projects offer an experiential component that allows students to explore
real-life situations where the principles they have learned can be applied. With
the Directional Psychology & Healing degree, students can be
guided toward future careers in counseling, the healing arts, social work, consulting,
and teaching.

"Through
the daily practice of yoga, along with the
heart-opening quality of the classes in general, there
is a balance being created between my head and my
heart. This balancing of my mind with my heart's
deeper feelings has allowed me to understand the
world in a more profound way."
