Announcing the IAM Professional Programs
and a New Series of Webcourses

Careers in modern spiritual life

Learn Heart Rhythm Meditation at home, with a live teacher on the Internet.

And prepare for or expand your career in the largest growth industry:
personal development.

 The Institute for Applied Meditation (IAM) has developed Heart Rhythm Meditation as a contribution to the emerging culture of the heart. We have always insisted that meditation, the most powerful of all techniques, be applied in very practical ways, advancing our health, relationships and accomplishments in life.

To enable and support you in a heart-centered life, IAM has offered a series of courses to build practical, permanent skills, and certifion of those skills. We have structured our institute like a college in personal and spiritual development with over 30 courses. So far, IAM has focused on the role of the spiritual mentor, and has created a unique and comprehensive system of diagnosis and prescription that applies the authentic teachings of mystics from ancient Egypt to modern times.

Inspired by Hazrat Inayat Khan who devised an organization with four branches, we are committed to his vision of preparing people for four careers that express a modern spiritual life: mentors, celebrants, healers and leaders. A fifth role is central to these four: teacher. It is our intention at IAM to offer a training program and certification in each of these five areas, leading to a professional career.

Heart Rhythm Practice is a comprehensive discipline similar in complexity and depth to homeopathy or chiropractic. It is just beginning to emerge as a profession, a development that IAM enthusiastically supports.

IAM offers five professional tracks. Click on the links in the first column below for more information.

Teacher

 The IAM Teacher represents the message of the heart and presents the methods by which the heart can be healed, strengthened and applied for practical results. The Teacher works primarily with groups.

Mentor

 The IAM Mentor helps individual clients use the wisdom of their hearts to guide their development toward illumination and their lives toward their purpose.

Healer

 The IAM Healer uses the power of the heart to regenerate tissue and restore rhythm and circulation in the bodies of individual patients. We use a scientific method that conclusively demonstrates the ability to regenerate tissue.

Leader

 The IAM Organizational Leader represents the heart of an organization, spreading the guidance and courage of the heart throughout the organization and becoming the Axis of its transformation.

Celebrant

 The IAM Celebrant leads a group in the recognition and celebration of the Heart of All through life transitions and in regular periods of worship.
