Diamond Light School of Massage & Healing Arts
Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Diamond Light School of Massage & Healing Arts was founded 20 years ago, upon the belief that the study and practice of massage therapy is inextricably linked with, and enhanced by, the practice and process of spiritual awakening. At Diamond Light we utilize an alternative and innovative approach to training massage therapists - from the inside out.
In our work with aspiring massage therapists and healers, we find that as we redirect our attention from outer distraction to focused inner awareness, we discover a vast storehouse of wisdom, creativity and caring that compliment and synergistically empower traditional technical learning and skill.
In educating several thousand students from over 20 countries over the last 2 decades, we've come to realize that a program of learning based on sacred intention, meditative awareness, grounded intuition and unconditional compassion, exponentially catalyzed the development of extraordinarily skilled and competent professional massage therapists.
In addition to mastering a rich repertoire of powerful bodywork techniques and acquiring anatomical and business knowledge, our students are trained to tap into the infinite reservoir of energy and intuitive knowing within themselves. We create an environment that inspires them to delve deeply into their own hearts, exploring the essence of who they are.
From this place of depth and authenticity they develop the ability to make contact beneath the veils of illusion, gaining access to the inner realms where the most profound healing can occur. Intensely present in their hands, they learn to listen for the guidance being transmitted from their client, and to connect deeply in unconditional love and acceptance, fostering the cellular trust that facilitates deep relaxation and release.
While we expected our unique approach to massage therapy training to expedite a quantum leap in personal development for our students and create compassionate, spiritually aware practitioners, we feel especially validated in finding that it also improves their capacity to work deeply, precisely and effectively on the structural and anatomical levels, addressing a wide variety of common as well as challenging physical conditions and complaints. This marriage of excellent technical training and spiritual focus has repeatedly resulted in awesome multidimensional (highly employable) massage therapists.
This summer we are celebrating our 20th anniversary at Diamond Light and many hundreds of our graduates are currently working in the field as successful professional Massage Therapists. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have participated with us this beautiful innovative approach to healing and bodywork.
