Probationer Healer
A Probationer is only accepted if they are Fully Paid Up members of AUHS and there is an AUHS Healer Leader willing to train them. AUHS do not have Healer Leader coverage in all areas of the UK.
Probationary Healer members have all the rights of the ordinary member PLUS they receive training from a recognised AUHS Healer Leader to the high standard set by both AUHS and BAHA using BAHA's very comprehensive training Manual.
Probationer Healer's are covered by insurance WHEN IN THE COMPANY OF A FULL HEALER WHO IS OVERSEEING THEIR WORK. ONLY for healing within the UK and should the Probationer not pay their yearly membership fees they will be lapsed and will loose their insurance. Lapsed members can however re-join within a reasonable period of time and resume their training with full insurance.
AUHS healers are NOT trained or insured for the treatment of Animals (See Insurance Exemptions below).
The first six months of the Healing Course will cover
- BAHA Code of Conduct (introductory two months study-8 weeks)
- The theory of healing (introductory two months study-8 weeks)
- Attunement (introductory two months study-8 weeks)
As set down by AUHS members rules Probationer Healers will not be allowed to heal anyone during the first six month period. After which study of the above should be broadened out and strengthened whilst the Probationer begins gaining hands-on healing experience under the careful guidance of their Healer Leader. The training may need to be tailored to the individual Probationers needs and level of knowledge regarding the above subjects. For example, beginners, intermediate and advanced.
Reasons for this:
1) A healer in fact does not have to be a "Medium" so any one wishing to undertake healing must first learn how to attune with spirit (for example, how to meditate, understand Chakra's, how to open close, how to protect themselves and their client) and become a channel for healing. Working as a Medium and working as a healer are two very separate skills. If you do not channel energies correctly for healing you will be using your own life energies and BALENS do not insure Magnetic healing nor does AUHS teach it. An extra very comprehensive book written by "Harry Edwards" A Guide to Spirit Healing (ISBN 978-1-40679-795-4) might be useful if you can find a copy (AUHS don't provide them as they are difficult to find sadly, Blackwells, ebay and Amazon occasionally have them) although BAHA's training material is very comprehensive and very carefully written, it should be all the material you need, unless you wish to read further.
2) Probationer's MUST understand fully their legal and moral responsibilites with British Law and BAHA rules and guides and be enabled to follow them in order to protect their healing insurance and protect themselves and their client.
3) It would be inappropriate and unethical to expect a new Probationer with little understanding of spirit or healing to begin healing immediately. Risks and allegations of malpractice would be unacceptably high. Clients have as much right to expect the Healer to be as competent and professional as they would if they went to see their own GP or Specialist. AUHS must endeavour within the law to protect our Healers and clients from harm. Therefore these first six months are a vital part of the whole Healing Course.
Probationer Healer's can go on to achieve a full certificate of healing after two years of Training only with the full backing of their Healer Leader.
From September 2009 Probationer Healer's must successfully complete two test papers each one covering the stages of the course which will already have been covered. These will be sent to your Healer Leader in a sealed envelope from the Healer Representative. If however your Healer Leader is not happy you are ready to undertake each test and believes you need a little extra time to prepare, don't worry, it will not harm your upgrading at the end of course, you will be given ample time to cover the course fully.
Full Healers joining from other Organisations
AUHS will welcome certificated full healers from other organisations under the following conditions:-
1) Application to transer to AUHS is made to Membership Secretary.
2) Applicant provides together with their application a copy of their previous certificates.
3) Applicant agrees to undertake a short six month probationary under a Healer Leader with AUHS.
4) Applicant comes from an Organisation accepted by BALENS, BAHA and AUHS.
5) Applicant must purchase a copy of BAHA's Training Manual.
6) Applicant must have been left their previous organisation for at least six months.
The reason for the six month probationary period:
As you might appreciate; AUHS don't know you and you don't know AUHS. It is therefore very important that you agree to undertake a study of BAHA's Code of Conduct and AUHS rules and guidelines in order that you can be sure never to breach those rules and risk loosing your valuable insurance with BALENS.
AUHS are not forcing you to undertake the full two year course when you are already a qualified healer, simply that you must agree too and fully understand the above within your new chosen Association.
INSURANCE EXEMPTIONS
Please note: AUHS and BALENS do not provide insurance cover for trance healing, Reiki Healing, Magnetic Healing and healing of animals:-
Reasons:
a) "Trance Healing" - In British Law trance healing is not recognised, you are held totally responsible for your own thoughts and actions and to say you were being controlled by a discarnate spirit is no defence in court.
b) "Reiki" - Spiritual Healing never involves manipulation and some forms of Reiki involves these techniques. AUHS only teach Spiritual Healing.
c) "Magnetic Healing" - Involves transerfing your own life energy to your client, which will delpete your energy and could make you ill, it is also possible to pick up ailments from the client and/or transfer your own ailments to the client. AUHS do not advocate or teach Magnetic Healing.
d) "Healing of Animals" - RCVS - All other forms of complementary therapy in the treatment of animals, including homoeopathy, must be administered by veterinary surgeons. It is illegal, in terms of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966, for lay practitioners however qualified in the human field, to treat animals. At the same time it is incumbent on veterinary surgeons offering any complementary therapy to ensure that they are adequately trained in its application. - AUHS only train healers for the Spiritual Treatment of HUMANS not animals.
