College of Vibrational Medicine
The College of Vibrational Medicine Practitioner Training Course
The College of Vibrational Medicine, formerly known as the Guild of Vibrational Medicine, began training practitioners in 1992. For many years it provided training courses for people seeking to become flower, gem & crystal essence practitioners, many of whom are now successful therapists with thriving practices and some who have gone on to teach their own courses.
In the early 1990’s the CVM diploma course was one of very few courses available to those wanting a qualification in flower, gem & crystal essence therapy. It was an in-depth part time course which took place one weekend a month for a total of twenty months and was accredited to the Institute for Complimentary Medicine, now ICNM. Although this course is no longer available as an option for new students, we have provided the information below as a record of the study path followed by those who have already graduated.
The CVM practitioner training course curriculum included: -
- An in-depth study of the use of flower, gem, and crystal essences, including practical experience of taking, prescribing, and making vibrational essences.
- The history of flower, gem & crystal essences, and their relationship to other treatments, including allopathic medicine, homoeopathy, and healing.
- Study of the life, work, spiritual teachings and 38 flower remedies of Dr Edward Bach together with a wide selection of other vibrational essences.
- Methods of usage, including the development of intuition, dowsing etc.
- Practical experience of how to use essences to help others through consultation practice and case studies.
- The foundational principles of Vibrational Medicine; understanding ourselves from a spiritual perspective, looking at the effect of human consciousness and karma on our health and well-being. The true causes of illness & disease.
- Study of the human subtle anatomy system; its importance to our health & well- being.
- A basic foundation course in Anatomy and Physiology. (I.T.E.C. equivalent).
- Counselling & communication skills.
- Experience of other complementary therapies such as Energy Healing, Crystal Healing, Homeopathy etc.
- Monthly group sessions designed to promote personal growth & inner work through meditation and other group work. Students were encouraged to use the ongoing support provided by the group energy to explore deep within themselves in order to maximise their own healing.
Assessment:
- A short formal examination for the Anatomy and Physiology section of the course at the end of the first year.
- A short formal examination at the end of the second year for the flower, gem, and crystal essence therapy section of the course.
- Continuous assessment which included case studies, essays and other work done throughout the course.
A diploma was awarded when all three sections had been satisfactorily passed.
