Integrative Energy Healing Program at Langara College

[rtatomir]

Very interesting stuff. As a masters-level therapist I can't agree with every part of the program having scientific backing, but mindfulness, meditation, and other grounding techniques, as well as helping the client understand and feel stress and other emotions in the body is critical to modern therapy and backed up by Dialectical Behavioural Therapy from Marsha Linehan of the University of Washington, Advanced Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy by Diana Fosha from New York University, etc.

This is truly awful stuff. Langara should be ashamed. Energy Healing is about as scientifically reputable as Voodoo, or a lucky rabbit's foot. It has been thoroughly debunked.

I blogged about this program a couple of years ago, on my business ethics blog (if you go to the blog and search on "Langara", you'll find my blog entry.)

@EchelonTransmission I've educated myself plenty. Thanks. As someone whose work is entirely focused on business ethics, I'm deeply concerned to help educate the public about bogus products and services. Energy healing has failed very, very basic scientific tests. It's junk.

[EchelonTransmission]

@ethicsblogger If you had educated yourself then you would know how this works and that it is changing peoples lives. We didn't ask for your opinion, find a new practice.

[ethicsblogger]

@EchelonTransmission Provide evidence, and I'll believe you. Until then, any supposed changes in people's lives are more plausibly interpreted as placebo effect or faulty memory.

[EchelonTransmission]

@ethicsblogger Why are you so concerned about other peoples lives, they arnt harming anyone or anything.

[ethicsblogger]

@EchelonTransmission That's not true. Taking people's money in exchange for NOT helping them is a bad thing.

[EchelonTransmission]

@ethicsblogger People are currently making a living with their degree from this course, they are feeding there families and living a good life. You are being a little nosy to be saying that there money was not well spent. Remember, ethics buddy.

[ethicsblogger]

@EchelonTransmission People make a living all kinds of ways. Selling something that doesn't work is not a good one. People are being deceived, and others are profiting from it.

[EchelonTransmission]

@ethicsblogger Thats an opinion

[ethicsblogger]

@EchelonTransmission It's just an opinion that fraud is unethical? Or it's just an opinion that people are being deceived? If the latter, it's a very-well founded opinion. You're talking about something that is physically impossible, and utterly unproven. It's snake oil. It's like selling lucky rabbit's feet to people at a race-track.

[EchelonTransmission]

@ethicsblogger keep your opinions to yourself

[ethicsblogger]

@EchelonTransmission That's very unlikely. Business Ethics is my area of expertise, and so I make a practice of commenting publicly when I see unethical business practices. I write a blog about business ethics (The Business Ethics Blog.)

[EchelonTransmission]

@ethicsblogger I thought you were the "ethicsblogger"? Well you defiantly need to either change your name or change your ethics.

have any of you even tried this? I've been receiving these treatments for over three yeas and my experience is that it calms my central nervous system and balances my chakras. It's been a big part of my life. It's very useful and widely used in hospice settings, as well as addictions. I hope that one day it will be offered in the school system for children, mental health facilities, basically everywhere. Maybe you should try it before you judge it.

sounds like a philosophical masterbation program to me

[science4energy]

This program is so much more than people think. It's the only scienced based program of it's kind.

[dmosier]

Total BS of the first order.

I am stunned that there are people who are smart enough to have the money to spend, but are STUPID enough to spend the money on this TOTAL BULL SHIT!!

Boggles my mind....

My god, this is one of the best collections of utterly meaningless garbage compiled into one video I've ever seen.
