2- TESTIMONIALS

My classes with Juan for Brain Nutrition, Life Coaching and Spiritual Psychology, have been invaluable to my practice. The one on one sessions on the phone were the best medium for learning rather than being one of many students in a class. I had the privledge of learning from Juan personally, and being on the phone rather than in person enabled me to focus more deeply on what I was learning in each particular class. These classes were some of the best learning experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to have an in depth learning experience with a man of great knowledge.

13- HOW I GOT MY BRAIN BACK

This is the transcript of a YouTube video, (hence the coloquial English) recorded by Juan Pablo Girardi, MS, MA, founder of the Brain Optimization Institute and the University of Healing Arts.

Author; Highway 1, California
Photographer: Ricardo Girardi

Hi, Thanks for watching. What I am about to share with you here is, possibly, the most painful experience I have had during this lifetime.

I tell this personal story with hope that it will improve the lives of individuals suffering from brain disorders. I especially hope to influence the lives of children and their parents.

I was born in Santiago, Chile and grew up in a farm with pure air, clean water and abundant food. My mother, of Spanish origin, was a bridge teacher and is to this day, admired for her intelligence. My father was Italian and was also intellectually quite sharp. He graduated from high school at 16 and received a degree in agricultural engineering.

So, partly due to good genes, but also because of growing up in a healthy environment, I developed a fairly good brain.

When I was seventeen, in order to attend University, I took the SAT test.

As it was customary in Chile the results were published in the main newspaper of Santiago. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had obtained one of the highest scores in the country: 725 for math and 796 for verbal abilities.

Years later, I learned that SAT numbers correlate with IQ. My SAT numbers were indicative of an IQ of 153, in the 99.97th percentile of the population.

So, no doubt that, at least at that point in time, I had -- as stated by a psychologist friend -- a “quotes,” sexy brain.

It was an interesting complement, since as a nerd, I have never felt sexy.

With those scores, I could choose any university and career I wanted. I decided to study engineering and signed up for the most prestigious engineering school in Chile. For many years, I did well in my studies.

However, during my fifth year in engineering I became very interested in yoga and embraced the ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. I had grown up eating massive amounts of red meat -- after all my father also raised cattle.

Perhaps I rushed into these changes too quickly; Just a year into my new diet I began to notice a significant decrease in my concentration.

When taking tests at school I developed a tendency to make one mistake after another.

My grades descended and I even failed a course that my friends passed without problem. I finally graduated, but my last two years were a struggle. My lack of concentration gradually got worse. To make matters worse, my lifestyle became significantly ungrounded. I was meditating three hours a day, but my life was not improving.

At the age of 28, I experienced a brief breakthrough in my meditations. For about four months I was in joy all day long for no reason at all. It was an interesting experience in unconditional joy.

However, it was also a prelude to the worst years of my life.

One day, without warning, I had a panic attack. The joy was gone and it was replaced by a state of constant anxiety that lasted for many, many years.

In fact, years later, when I took the Burns Anxiety Inventory, I scored more than 50 points, which indicates “extreme anxiety.” I was experiencing the most uncomfortable anxiety symptoms, day and night.

At thirty, I married, and my wife and I decided to try for a better life in the United States. I always had great admiration and appreciation for this country so, that same day, immediately after the marriage ceremony, we flew to LA.

Upon my arrival in LA, my anxiety continued and worsened. One of the most painful symptoms was exhaustion. As an immigrant, during the first years I had to do intense physical work. Survival became a very painful challenge.

I tried introspection, affirmations, more meditation, breathing techniques every five minutes, psychotherapy, but nothing was really helping -- I was just barely coping. When I was 35, I injured myself on a job, demolishing walls in a house. At the chiropractor’s office, I found a brochure titled: “Hypoglycemia Can Create Anxiety.”

I found a book on hypoglycemia at the bookstore that described most of my symptoms, persuading me to try the diet recommended in the book.

I didn't even have to abandon my vegetarian diet.

In three days I felt a new person! I was really surprised at the power of a simple nutritional intervention.

Now that I had more energy, I signed up for a Masters Degree in psychology and in a few years I obtained the MFT license from the State of California, to practice psychotherapy.

With the new diet, most of my anxiety symptoms were gone, but, my attention deficit was virtually intact.

I took the TOVA test and scored positive. The Tova test is the most reliable and objective test to diagnose ADD. I took it again and I scored positive again. There was no doubt that I had a full blown ADD. ADD is supposed to be a disorder starting at childhood. However, as I learned nutritional mistakes can result in a full blown ADD, at any age.

About six years ago a friend of mine -- Larry Richardson, an Acupuncturist -- introduced me to the concept of brain nutrition.

I began using supplements and in a month, took the TOVA test again.

This time my scores in attention and impulse control were not only normal but ABOVE normal. The ADD had completely vanished.

I continue taking my brain supplements every day, at maintenance levels. I include fish in my diet and very occasionally some poultry or red meat.

I work more than 65 hours a week. The brain I was originally blessed with has completely returned.

In fact, I would dare to say that -- despite the fact that IQ is supposed to decrease as we age – today, thanks to a sensible diet, the brain supplements and continual intellectual stimulation, I feel that my brain is sharper than when I was young.

Five years ago my wife and I, my friend Larry Richardson and other professionals created the Brain Optimization Institute, to help people with their brain disorders through the application of brain nutrition principles.

Those clients who have enthusiastically and seriously committed to our programs, have experienced fascinating, positive results. We also created a successful Certification Course in Brain Nutrition Counseling and later developed a Masters in Nutrition with emphasis in Brain Nutrition.

In my own healing journey I opted for nutrition over medication -- I can’t tell you how happy I am in this decision. Despite a high IQ, I have done stupid things like everyone, however, the decision to avoid the pharmaceuticals and use brain nutrition was a very, very intelligent decision.

Thanks to that decision, today I have my brain back.

17- INFORMATIVE AND PRACTICAL E-BOOK

QUOTES FROM "THE POWER OF SELF-CARING"

By Juan Pablo Girardi, MA, MFT, founder, Brain Optimization Institute and the University of Healing Arts.

This book gives you the understanding of how to transform your life and provides the scientific instruments to measure your weekly progress. The book is a powerful form of self-help therapy.

“Self-Caring has been scientifically proven to correlate with higher levels of happiness. Taking good care of oneself – with all of its subtleties – is the surest way to stay healthy and feeling good. I urge you to learn the art of self-caring.”

“Neglecting your nutrition is likely to result in neurotransmitter deficiencies, making the attempt to keep thoughts positive difficult, if not impossible; no matter how hard you try. Conversely, indulging in frequent negative thinking about yourself, the world and your circumstances, will make happiness elude you, regardless of how perfect your diet may be. Both forms of caring for yourself – good nutrition and positive thoughts – are vital, and they support each other.”

“If you systematically apply yourself to improving the way you take care of yourself, you are likely to make remarkable progress in the way you feel – in a few months you may not even recognize yourself. However, do not underestimate the challenge of Self-Caring. How many times have you made New Year’s resolutions, and then failed to keep them? Using the professional services of a Life Coach or a Therapist to support your efforts is an intelligent way to secure your success.”

According to solid scientific research and clinical experience, anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, chronic pain, or any form of mental or brain issues, can derive established benefit, by using a drug-free and affordable nutritional approach. The Brain Optimization Institute’s philosophy, based on the research and extensive clinical experience, is that nutrition should be an essential part of any serious attempt to improve mental health and brain functioning.

We have designed a powerful and effective Brain Nutrition approach based on both the latest research and years of clinical experience.
This approach is designed to safely and effectively optimize two of the most powerful systems in the human body – the neurotransmitters in the brain and the glucose pathway in the body and brain. Neurotransmitters are powerful chemicals, critical to the correct functioning of the brain.

Unfortunately, many of our actions and habits can compromise their proper and balanced presence. Deficient diet, lack of physical exercise, job dissatisfaction, conflictive interpersonal relationships, heavy metals in the environment; can each, over time, create neurotransmitter deficiencies in the brain. Considering that the brain controls and affects every single aspect of our lives, nurturing and caring for our brain, as if our life depends upon it, is the epitome of good common sense.

The Certification in Nutrition with Emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling offered at our Institute is the first of its kind in the US. Despite the voluminous research demonstrating that Brain Nutrition improves mental health and well-being, this powerful healing approach has been neglected, by mainstream medicine, and to a great extent, also by alternative medicine.

If you are already a health care provider you can add this powerful modality to your repertoire of healing techniques. Our clinical experience proves that by helping the brain, you help the entire body and mind. If you wish to help yourself, relatives and friends or begin seeing clients, this exciting healing modality is worth serious consideration. Contact us at 818-508-1720 for information on the latest class schedule. Classes are held online and offline

22- WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT UHA'S CERTIFICATION AND MASTERS IN SPIRITUAL PSYCHOLOGY COUNSELING WITH EMPHASIS IN NON-DUALITY?

You will learn about the most enlightened and up to date spiritual psychology paradigms, with special focus on non-duality -- a manifestation of the Truth that is truly relevant to today’s challenges. Although all serious spiritual teachings point to the same Truth, their effectiveness depends on whether the language used is practical, simple, and relevant to the current times and culture and devoid of paraphernalia -- myths, rigid beliefs, ceremonies, rituals, gurus, devotees, followers and initiations.

This paraphernalia is a powerful distraction in the path towards Awareness and Oneness, and sooner or later becomes a source of significant and unnecessary suffering for the seeker.

Additionally, we offer our students a highly personalized training and attention throughout the whole program.

The course content is not a one-sided approach that boxes your creativity, thinking and spiritual development. On the contrary, this course is a presentation and application of a multi-paradigm approach to Spiritual Psychology Counseling, conducive to the expression of the student’s unique creativity, and intuition. Classes are held online and offline.

25- THE SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR NAMES: UNIVERSITY OF HEALING ARTS and BRAIN OPTIMIZATION INSTITUTE

Aside from the obvious meaning of both names, they represent the two apparently conflictive right and left brain activities of the brain. The University of Healing Arts offers predominantly right brain, intuitively oriented courses, like the Certification and Masters Programs in "Life Coaching with emphasis in the Mystical Path" and "Spiritual Psychology with emphasis in Non-duality.

"The Brain Optimization Institute is part of the University of Healing Arts, and focuses predominantly on left brain, scientifically oriented courses, like the Certification and the Masters in Nutrition with emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling. To become well-rounded individuals we need to develop both hemispheres of the brain.





		The University of Healing Arts California is especially interested in students who are truly committed to the development of their physical, mental or spiritual potential, or, preferaby, all three of them –– and are equally committed to helping others move towards the same goal. If this describes you, we look forward to meeting you. -----------0----------- STUDENT INTERVIEW AND ADMISSION PROCESS This website presents a wealth of information about our courses.

	ABOUT UHA AND BOI PHILOSOPHY To learn about UHA and BOI philosophy, in regard to spirituality, higher education, and how to create a 21st century medicine that is effective and inexpensive, we recommend you enjoy this 10 minute Non-dual Guided Meditation and watch the next 3 videos. 10 MINUTE NON-DUAL GUIDED MEDITATION This 10 minute video-meditation is based on the Advaita or non-dual tradition. Advaita's gentle approach to meditation is unsurpassed -- in simplicity and effectiveness. All video loops were taped in the Ganges, India. Meditation consists of shifting the attention from mind to Consciousness. This guided meditation goes through three steps. The first one is a guided physical relaxation -- physical relaxation is not meditation but it prepares the body for meditation. The second part is a guided mental relaxation -- again mental relaxation is not meditation but it prepares the mind for meditation. The third part is meditation itself and it guides you to shift the attention from mind to consciousness or awareness. A ten minute meditation can be helpful, but sometimes too short to go deep. We recommend the complete 30 min video-meditation at: http://www.vimeo.com/7057814 THE POWER OF NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING: Amazing Recovery from Extreme Chronic Pain HEALING MUTIPLE SERIOUS CONDITIONS WITH BRAIN NUTRITION THERAPY In person, phone and online courses.

Classes are one on one, making the student’s learning experience a high priority, and with no extra cost. The course content directly addresses the information necessary for an effective practice, with no superfluous detail. UHA is ideal for those who value their time. Sierra Nevada, California Registering for a Certification Course Teaching is one on one -- one student per instructor. This system ensures that the student receives the necessary personal interaction with the instructor and does not waste his or her time with the slow pace of a class with dozens or even hundreds of students. Certifications The UHA offers cutting edge certifications in the following fundamental fields: Nutrition with emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling, Life Coaching with emphasis in the Mystical Path to Success and Spiritual Psychology Counseling with emphasis in Non-duality. Together they address the 3 fundamental aspects of human life: physical, mental and spiritual. The Unique Value of UHA Certifications Certifications are rarely, or perhaps never, recognized or credited as valid steps towards a Masters Degree. The University of Healing Arts acknowledges the significant investment and effort that obtaining a serious certification represents; therefore completion of UHA certification programs are credited towards the UHA Masters Degree in Life Coaching (and in some cases also towards the Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology.) There are three certification courses required to attain this Masters. Each has been specifically designed to be a crucial part of an integrated, harmonious program that leads to true mastery. Throughout the Masters program, the student receives a solid preparation in the three fundamental aspects of life that govern health and happiness – physical, mental and spiritual. Yellow Leaves, California What You Will Learn You will be taught the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively coach or counsel your clients towards the fulfillment of their life's purpose and soul potential. You will be taught how to guide them towards a fulfilling experience in the three fundamental aspects of life: physical (nutrition and caring for the physical vehicle), mental (positive thinking and caring for the mind), and spiritual (caring for the soul’s agenda and the “return home” into pure Consciousness). Transfer of Credits or Degrees The University of Healing Arts acknowledges that obtaining a Bachelor's degree almost always involves a significant effort and financial investment on part of the student. Therefore, in most cases, it is our policy to accept a student’s Bachelor's degree and welcome them to graduate studies. You will be required to present proof that you have completed a Bachelor's program. In case you have not yet attained a Bachelor's degree, and you are interested in pursuing one of our Masters program please contact us. Who are the Founders? The founders of the University of Healing Arts and the Brain Optimization Institute are Viviana Girardi, B.A. CYT and Juan Pablo Girardi, MS, MA. Viviana Girardi was born in one of the most beautiful places on the planet in the southern part of Chile. From early childhood she felt a natural inclination towards sports and physical education. She graduated from the University of Chile with a Bachelor's in physical education. In her early twenties she felt a deep interest in the spiritual life and Yoga. Viviana has practiced Yoga for over thirty years. She was certified as a Yoga teacher by Erich Shiffman and has been teaching Yoga, and leading healing retreats, for five years at the University of Healing Arts. Viviana is also an accomplished cook and teaches culinary arts at UHA. Juan Pablo was born into an Italian/Spanish family in South America. From early childhood he felt a great interest in science and later for the humanities, especially for Spiritual Psychology. At 24, he graduated in engineering from the most prestigious University in Chile at that time. After marrying Viviana, at 30, their spiritual interests brought them to the U.S. Here, Juan Pablo completed a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and obtained a State License to practice psychotherapy. Juan Pablo has accumulated extensive clinical and coaching experience, gained through seventeen years of working with clients. Eventually Juan renounced his license as a statement of personal independence from the mainstream, with its adherent traps and regulations. He is presently devoting most of his time to education and to his vision for UHA and BOI. Still he practices counseling but as a life coach, nutritional counselor and spiritual counselor. For over thirty years, Juan has also been deeply involved in studying nutrition and also spiritual teachings of all sorts. His greatest passion is Non--duality.

LCC-101: The Power of Self-Caring.

Healing the relationship with money truly, is quite different than learning how to make more money. The client may live on $1,000 a month and have a healthy relationship with money or make $20,000 a month and have a very unhealthy relationshp with money. A good Life Coach needs to know how to help their client heal their relationship with money - at a practical level and at a psychological and spiritual level.

SPC-105: Living a Life Free of Expectations Expectations are a source of suffering. A life free of expectations is an enlightened life. Even positive expectations can be frustrated and create suffering. In the beginning, through metaphysics, we learn to let go of negative expectations and create positive expectations. However, spiritual maturity leads to the next step where we let go of expectation altogether -- positive and negative. SPC-106: The Power of Surrender Surrender might be the fastest and easiest path to enlightenment. Surrender has many faces and here the student is presented with the most significant ones.

Here the student learns most especially about the highest form of Bhakti Yoga which is, "Surrender to the Divine." Surrender to the Divine, in any form the Bhakti may conceive It, is a fast path to liberation and manifestation of soul potential. Billions across the planet practice some form of Bhakti Yoga -- Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and so on. Because most counselors have clients participating in one of these major religions, we consider that a qualified counselor must understand the Bhakti Yoga path -- with its pros and cons. SPC-108: The Great Jnanis of India Here the student learns about the lives and teachings of the great Jnanis of India, the founding fathers of Non-duality in East and West.

The one on one sessions on the phone were the best medium for learning rather than being one of many students in a class. I had the privledge of learning from Juan personally, and being on the phone rather than in person enabled me to focus more deeply on what I was learning in each particular class. These classes were some of the best learning experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to have an in depth learning experience with a man of great knowledge. Suzanne, Wellness Consultant, San Francisco ---------- * The Brain Optimization Institute provides a unique experience.

Suzanne, Wellness Consultant, San Francisco For more information please call us at 818-508-1720 -----------0----------- 7- DATES FOR UPCOMING COURSES From the beginning, at UHA and BOI, we have worked with small groups or one-on-one. As a result, it has become clear to us that teaching a single student, is markedly superior to working with a group – even a small group. One-on-one teaching provides the best setting to help the student with the unique professional and personal challenges that could interfere with the achievement of his or her goals. This type of teaching/mentoring is extremely effective; though quite difficult to find these days. Mentoring provides the student with the maximum flexibility in scheduling. There is no need to wait for a predetermined date to begin a course, nor to commit to a rigid class schedule. The teacher and student simply meet on a weekly basis at a time and date that is suitable for both. -----------0----------- Highway 1, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi 8- PRIVATE STUDIES AT NO EXTRA COST You can choose to pursue a 5-month Certification or a 21-month Masters program on an individual basis -- one-on-one with the instructors.

Author; Highway 1, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi Hi, Thanks for watching. What I am about to share with you here is, possibly, the most painful experience I have had during this lifetime. I tell this personal story with hope that it will improve the lives of individuals suffering from brain disorders. I especially hope to influence the lives of children and their parents. I was born in Santiago, Chile and grew up in a farm with pure air, clean water and abundant food. My mother, of Spanish origin, was a bridge teacher and is to this day, admired for her intelligence. My father was Italian and was also intellectually quite sharp. He graduated from high school at 16 and received a degree in agricultural engineering. So, partly due to good genes, but also because of growing up in a healthy environment, I developed a fairly good brain. When I was seventeen, in order to attend University, I took the SAT test. As it was customary in Chile the results were published in the main newspaper of Santiago. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had obtained one of the highest scores in the country: 725 for math and 796 for verbal abilities. Years later, I learned that SAT numbers correlate with IQ. My SAT numbers were indicative of an IQ of 153, in the 99.97th percentile of the population. So, no doubt that, at least at that point in time, I had -- as stated by a psychologist friend -- a “quotes,” sexy brain. It was an interesting complement, since as a nerd, I have never felt sexy. With those scores, I could choose any university and career I wanted. I decided to study engineering and signed up for the most prestigious engineering school in Chile. For many years, I did well in my studies. However, during my fifth year in engineering I became very interested in yoga and embraced the ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. I had grown up eating massive amounts of red meat -- after all my father also raised cattle. Perhaps I rushed into these changes too quickly; Just a year into my new diet I began to notice a significant decrease in my concentration. When taking tests at school I developed a tendency to make one mistake after another. My grades descended and I even failed a course that my friends passed without problem. I finally graduated, but my last two years were a struggle. My lack of concentration gradually got worse. To make matters worse, my lifestyle became significantly ungrounded. I was meditating three hours a day, but my life was not improving. At the age of 28, I experienced a brief breakthrough in my meditations. For about four months I was in joy all day long for no reason at all. It was an interesting experience in unconditional joy. However, it was also a prelude to the worst years of my life. One day, without warning, I had a panic attack. The joy was gone and it was replaced by a state of constant anxiety that lasted for many, many years. In fact, years later, when I took the Burns Anxiety Inventory, I scored more than 50 points, which indicates “extreme anxiety.” I was experiencing the most uncomfortable anxiety symptoms, day and night. At thirty, I married, and my wife and I decided to try for a better life in the United States. I always had great admiration and appreciation for this country so, that same day, immediately after the marriage ceremony, we flew to LA. Upon my arrival in LA, my anxiety continued and worsened. One of the most painful symptoms was exhaustion. As an immigrant, during the first years I had to do intense physical work. Survival became a very painful challenge. I tried introspection, affirmations, more meditation, breathing techniques every five minutes, psychotherapy, but nothing was really helping -- I was just barely coping. When I was 35, I injured myself on a job, demolishing walls in a house. At the chiropractor’s office, I found a brochure titled: “Hypoglycemia Can Create Anxiety.” I found a book on hypoglycemia at the bookstore that described most of my symptoms, persuading me to try the diet recommended in the book. I didn't even have to abandon my vegetarian diet. In three days I felt a new person! I was really surprised at the power of a simple nutritional intervention. Now that I had more energy, I signed up for a Masters Degree in psychology and in a few years I obtained the MFT license from the State of California, to practice psychotherapy. With the new diet, most of my anxiety symptoms were gone, but, my attention deficit was virtually intact. I took the TOVA test and scored positive. The Tova test is the most reliable and objective test to diagnose ADD. I took it again and I scored positive again. There was no doubt that I had a full blown ADD. ADD is supposed to be a disorder starting at childhood. However, as I learned nutritional mistakes can result in a full blown ADD, at any age. About six years ago a friend of mine -- Larry Richardson, an Acupuncturist -- introduced me to the concept of brain nutrition. I began using supplements and in a month, took the TOVA test again. This time my scores in attention and impulse control were not only normal but ABOVE normal. The ADD had completely vanished. I continue taking my brain supplements every day, at maintenance levels. I include fish in my diet and very occasionally some poultry or red meat. I work more than 65 hours a week. The brain I was originally blessed with has completely returned. In fact, I would dare to say that -- despite the fact that IQ is supposed to decrease as we age – today, thanks to a sensible diet, the brain supplements and continual intellectual stimulation, I feel that my brain is sharper than when I was young. Five years ago my wife and I, my friend Larry Richardson and other professionals created the Brain Optimization Institute, to help people with their brain disorders through the application of brain nutrition principles. Those clients who have enthusiastically and seriously committed to our programs, have experienced fascinating, positive results. We also created a successful Certification Course in Brain Nutrition Counseling and later developed a Masters in Nutrition with emphasis in Brain Nutrition. In my own healing journey I opted for nutrition over medication -- I can’t tell you how happy I am in this decision. Despite a high IQ, I have done stupid things like everyone, however, the decision to avoid the pharmaceuticals and use brain nutrition was a very, very intelligent decision. Thanks to that decision, today I have my brain back. -----------0----------- Highway, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi 14- IN JUST 100 DAYS RITALIN CREATES CHROMOSOMAL DAMAGE IN CHILDREN CRUCIAL ADD & ADHD NEWS & RESEARCH (Visit this link first): Even short-term use of RITALIN causes Chromosomal Damage! -----------0----------- 15- PREPARE YOUR OWN NON-HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE BUTTER AT HOME.

This book gives you the understanding of how to transform your life and provides the scientific instruments to measure your weekly progress. The book is a powerful form of self-help therapy. “Self-Caring has been scientifically proven to correlate with higher levels of happiness. Taking good care of oneself – with all of its subtleties – is the surest way to stay healthy and feeling good. I urge you to learn the art of self-caring.” “Neglecting your nutrition is likely to result in neurotransmitter deficiencies, making the attempt to keep thoughts positive difficult, if not impossible; no matter how hard you try. Conversely, indulging in frequent negative thinking about yourself, the world and your circumstances, will make happiness elude you, regardless of how perfect your diet may be. Both forms of caring for yourself – good nutrition and positive thoughts – are vital, and they support each other.” “If you systematically apply yourself to improving the way you take care of yourself, you are likely to make remarkable progress in the way you feel – in a few months you may not even recognize yourself. However, do not underestimate the challenge of Self-Caring. How many times have you made New Year’s resolutions, and then failed to keep them? Using the professional services of a Life Coach or a Therapist to support your efforts is an intelligent way to secure your success.” -----------0----------- Carmel, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi Carmel, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi 18- HOW THE UNIVERSITY OF HEALING ARTS AND THE BRAIN OPTIMIZATION INSTITUTE BUSINESS MODEL ARE EASY ON THE PLANET The business model for the University of Healing Arts and the Brain Optimization Institute is extremely environmentally friendly. By participating online, our students do not need waste time and energy coming to our offices. Therefore, they do not spend in gasoline, contaminate and contribute to global warming. The same is valid for teachers. By broadcasting the classes from home they do not need to come to UHA/BOI offices either. An interesting example is the case of the founders of the University and the Institute. Their cars move so little that a tank of gasolline last them more than a month, and sometimes two months! ADDITIONALLY, both schools are very close to become completely paperless organizations San Francisco, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi -----------0----------- 19- WHAT IS BRAIN NUTRITION AND WHY IS IT SO CRUCIAL? According to solid scientific research and clinical experience, anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, chronic pain, or any form of mental or brain issues, can derive established benefit, by using a drug-free and affordable nutritional approach. The Brain Optimization Institute’s philosophy, based on the research and extensive clinical experience, is that nutrition should be an essential part of any serious attempt to improve mental health and brain functioning. We have designed a powerful and effective Brain Nutrition approach based on both the latest research and years of clinical experience. This approach is designed to safely and effectively optimize two of the most powerful systems in the human body – the neurotransmitters in the brain and the glucose pathway in the body and brain. Neurotransmitters are powerful chemicals, critical to the correct functioning of the brain. Unfortunately, many of our actions and habits can compromise their proper and balanced presence. Deficient diet, lack of physical exercise, job dissatisfaction, conflictive interpersonal relationships, heavy metals in the environment; can each, over time, create neurotransmitter deficiencies in the brain. Considering that the brain controls and affects every single aspect of our lives, nurturing and caring for our brain, as if our life depends upon it, is the epitome of good common sense. -----------0----------- Yosemite, California Photographer: Ricardo Girardi 20- CAN I HELP OTHERS AND MYSELF THROUGH BRAIN NUTRITION? The Certification in Nutrition with Emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling offered at our Institute is the first of its kind in the US. Despite the voluminous research demonstrating that Brain Nutrition improves mental health and well-being, this powerful healing approach has been neglected, by mainstream medicine, and to a great extent, also by alternative medicine. If you are already a health care provider you can add this powerful modality to your repertoire of healing techniques. Our clinical experience proves that by helping the brain, you help the entire body and mind. If you wish to help yourself, relatives and friends or begin seeing clients, this exciting healing modality is worth serious consideration.

California 2002 Photographer: Ricardo Girardi 22- WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT UHA'S CERTIFICATION AND MASTERS IN SPIRITUAL PSYCHOLOGY COUNSELING WITH EMPHASIS IN NON-DUALITY? You will learn about the most enlightened and up to date spiritual psychology paradigms, with special focus on non-duality -- a manifestation of the Truth that is truly relevant to today’s challenges. Although all serious spiritual teachings point to the same Truth, their effectiveness depends on whether the language used is practical, simple, and relevant to the current times and culture and devoid of paraphernalia -- myths, rigid beliefs, ceremonies, rituals, gurus, devotees, followers and initiations. This paraphernalia is a powerful distraction in the path towards Awareness and Oneness, and sooner or later becomes a source of significant and unnecessary suffering for the seeker. Additionally, we offer our students a highly personalized training and attention throughout the whole program. The course content is not a one-sided approach that boxes your creativity, thinking and spiritual development. On the contrary, this course is a presentation and application of a multi-paradigm approach to Spiritual Psychology Counseling, conducive to the expression of the student’s unique creativity, and intuition. Classes are held online and offline. -----------0----------- 25- THE SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR NAMES: UNIVERSITY OF HEALING ARTS and BRAIN OPTIMIZATION INSTITUTE Aside from the obvious meaning of both names, they represent the two apparently conflictive right and left brain activities of the brain. The University of Healing Arts offers predominantly right brain, intuitively oriented courses, like the Certification and Masters Programs in "Life Coaching with emphasis in the Mystical Path" and "Spiritual Psychology with emphasis in Non-duality. "The Brain Optimization Institute is part of the University of Healing Arts, and focuses predominantly on left brain, scientifically oriented courses, like the Certification and the Masters in Nutrition with emphasis in Brain Nutrition Counseling. To become well-rounded individuals we need to develop both hemispheres of the brain. -----------0----------- ADDITIONAL VALUABLE LINKS (in construction) WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE LIFE COACHING COURSE WITH CERTIFICATION AT UHA? -----------0----------- Monterrey Aquarium California
