Catherine Czerepak will explain the purpose and process of accreditation, offer guidelines for choosing an accrediting agency, and offer tips for those creating their own program. She will also explore the function of accreditation in the realm of the IEHA Vision. The IEHA is currently collaborating with the University of Illinois, USA, in order to establish International Accreditation for Energy programs which will be recognised globally.

Catherine has a long history in the field of International Education. She obtained her MA in Applied Linguistics with a secondary tract in Pedagogy in 1997 from the University of Illinois. After her graduate work, she found herself working in the private sector for the City of Chicago, overseeing all aspects of program design and management for Welfare to Workplace programs. She has also sat on the Accreditation Board for a series of private language schools, working closely with the chairs of the 50 US-based centers as well as the US Board of Education. Her time as an International Sales Director for ELS, a subsidiary of Berlitz International, took her away from the classroom; but with her current home at the IEHA she returns to doing what she loves, helping others birth their dreams.

As I sit here on this chilly Sydney morning, my thoughts turn to all those in the world who are also starting their day.  I think of people who rush out of bed perhaps with dread in their hearts, those that carry heavy emotions of sadness, depression, emptiness…not excited about the work they do and the routine they will face.  They rise out of bed begrudgingly, slam some form of caffeine, yell at the kids to wake up, breakfast, create lunches, throw on clothes that represent the uniform your employment requests….and onto work.  These individuals go about their day with no joy in their hearts.  They feel trapped by circumstances out of their control.  Things ‘happen’ to them; car door slams on their finger, lost keys, fender bender on the way to work. The heavy emotions they carry around with them become heavier and heavier until they are barely able to move forward or acknowledge those around them.

Are you one of these beings?

There is another way.

My personal journey into Awareness began the moment I felt energy. The moment my friend told me to try this experiment, rub your hands together, pull them apart and then slowly push them closer together, closing your eyes and ‘feeling’ with your other senses.  A very simply little experiment and one that any energetic healer would know very well.

But something within myself changed that day.  I could ‘feel’ the static-like electricity between my hands and, after some focus, could see a with my eyes a distortion of light in the area between my hands.  This is something unseen to most, but has such weight, substance.  What is this thing that I’m feeling? Energy, my friends, pure energy.   I was hooked.

For you see we are energetic beings and the world around us, pure energy. Everything you see, feel, touch, sense, is one form or another of energy.  And energy has ‘rules’ as brought into light by Einstein. It is not static, it is constantly in motion and will affect other energy sources that it touches.

Energetic Healers understand energy. We sense it, feel it, understand it….and understand how to change it/alter it/guide it to a different path.  We understand that the plant outside your door has a purpose and that perhaps that particular flower/plant represents a form of energy that will ‘adjust’ your own energetic system so that it is more in alignment, thus releasing heavier emotions.  Energetic Healers understand that your cells/muscles/body systems store energy and by manipulating and moving your body you can release trapped emotions.  Think of yoga and massage. Who doesn’t feel better after a yoga class or good massage?    Energy

So if you are feeling like one of the people described in the beginning of this post – if you are feeling that you are banging your head against the wall and perhaps just not happy with your circumstances today — then I tell you that there is a way out of this cycle because ultimately YOU are in charge of yourself- your health, wellbeing, state of mind.  My personal healing gift is to work with the power of language and thought.  Thought is energy.  Words do not just pop into your head, but are chosen by you.  Each thought (energy form) creates a resulting emotion which affects not only your energetic system, but those around you.  So if you are starting your day with the thought,” I really hate my job”, then you are setting yourself up for a day that is defined by this thought.  If you, instead,  begin your day by focusing on the things that you are grateful for – roof over your head, warm bed, loving family – choose one thing, then you are creating a different energy pattern that will affect not only your system, but those around you.  Don’t believe me?  Try it– before jumping out of bed focus on one thing for which you are truly grateful  and just allow that thought to permeate your mind and body.  Bring your awareness into your body and see/feel what is going on.  I guarantee you will feel lighter and if tears come, you know you have hit something truly meaningful for your Being.  Then start your day and see that things don’t flow more smoothly, more positive opportunities and people come into your life…all of this is possible.  Change your thoughts, change your energy, change your life.  This is a Catherine-ism that is shared much with my clients.

So as you begin your day ask yourself what is the energy I am putting out at this moment?  What are the thoughts in your mind?  Where are your thoughts focused – here in the moment?  or perhaps some event in the future?  If your thoughts are in the future, then your energy is there. Likewise if your thoughts are in the past, then you are sending your energy to that moment. Much anxiety arises from misplaced thoughts.  By focusing on things that do not exist, then you are creating an imbalance within your system from which anxiety, stress, distress can arise.

There is so much more I can write on this subject, but this is a post, not a book, so I’ll leave it here for now.  Be Conscious of what is going on around and within you.  It is not all that is seems.

For the past two weeks my parents have been visiting from Chicago.  My Mother is not well and much attention and energy was focused on her current health condition.  I will leave out labels of what her traditional medical doctors have placed upon her.  Suffice to say, she is struggling to achieve balance and the visit has left me delete of energy.

With everything in my life, I ask Spirit for clarity.  What lessons were presented here?  What is it I need to walk away with?  There is much surfacing, but above all her visit strengthens my resolve and conviction in the Vision and Purpose of the IEHA.

It comes to me over and over that the women, especially, of her generation were devoid of choice.  Choice in many factors– live style, career, health and wellbeing.  My Mother, as I am and my daughter after me, is a Healer.  My Mother spent her life in geriatric care, honouring and taking care of those in their time of transition. Yet the lesson she, and many women like her, give to us is that life is about Balance.  She gave and gave to the point of depletion and now she is unable to give any longer.

Choice, Balance, Freedom.

I met yesterday with our core group at the IEHA, Krista and Artemiss, in order to discuss the details of our Conference on November 12.https://www.facebook.com/InternationalEHA/events/ .   We were discussing what we viewed as the fundamental purpose of this event.  We each had a few thoughts to share, but what surfaced above all else was that this was an event dedicated to honouring Choice and Freedom.  We have a choice when it comes to our health and wellbeing and through choosing our own self and our own inner wisdom comes freedom. There are choices.

And this is the message from my Mother and many women like her.   Honour yourselves, seek Balance in your life and make choices that are empowering and reflect your ultimate state of wellness.  Let us learn from these individuals- there is a better way.

Our Conference on November 12 honours this message.  Amazing individuals who present to you their life’s Journey, their work and personal message.  They have incredible messages that will change your perspective and your life.

Join us on November 12 as a celebration of Choice and Freedom.  I state proudly and that we, myself, Krista, Artemiss, Loni and Traci, wish to change the world.  We want to make it a better place for ourselves and our children. We see our work at the IEHA as putting forth these goals.

If you, like us, would like to be a part of something bigger.  If you, like us, wish to create positive change in this world and, if you, like us, understand and honour the message of those who have come before us, then by all means, join us on November 12.  Educate, Connect and Create Change.  Empower.

From our Hearts to Yours,

Catherine

with Blessings from Krista, Artemiss, Loni and Traci
