Guardian Ones Basic Training Program

Guardian Ones Basic Training Program FAQ’s

Q: Who is this program for? 

A: This program is for anyone who wants to learn the tool of energetic hygiene and self-clearing, built on the solid foundation of nervous system health and awareness of the correlation between trauma and energetic infringements.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of harm being done and misinformation spread in the arena of trendy (including modern iterations of ancient practices) spirituality and health practices. In fact, this is how many clients have found me- after engaging with spiritual practitioners and practices that have left them in a rough state, often confused, in pain, and desperate for answers.

It’s not that all of these spiritual practices are “bad”, it’s that the combination of a chronically disregulated nervous system, stuck trauma in the body, plus a host of “spiritual abilities” fully online can be a recipe for trouble. Emphasizing psychic gifts while ignoring our human biology and offering spiritual services to others without being trauma informed has the potential to cause great harm, period. We are all only as “psychic” as our own healing allows us to be -in that we filter the information that we pull from the unseen layers of reality through the lens of our own traumas. Just as we interpret all of our regular human interactions through the lens of our own traumas- it’s no different.

One of the key elements that we teach in the Basic Training Program is how to develop true discernment, which in the Guardian Ones way of doing things is NOT through the mind. It’s through the circuits of sensation in your brilliant human body- the very same circuits which also intelligently alert us to where we hold stuck survival responses, often from very early childhood. Hence the emphasis on education around trauma and nervous system function as a grounded and practical foundation for all energy work and spiritual practices. Interestingly enough, it has been my experience that the more people heal their own trauma, the less interest they have in spiritual practices in general.

This program is for those who might read this and feel an internal “yes!” When they read these words, even if it is slightly triggering.

Q: Who is this program NOT for?

A: The Basic Training Program is not appropriate for those are currently struggling with bouts of psychosis, severe psychiatric disorders, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, substance abuse, or addiction. This program will most benefit those who are generally able to care for themselves and commit to doing the work necessary to complete this course.

Q: What is the layout and schedule for this program?

A: The program is 8 weeks long, including one integration week with a lighter instructional load to give everyone a chance to catch up and review if needed. Much of the content is online and accessible at any time- you will have access to the content for as long as we have the course up on the site! This is the type of course that you will be able to revisit and get back to the basic skills whenever you feel the need.

There will be instructional calls and QnA calls held each week that are not mandatory to attend as you will be able to learn from the recordings (posted on the site within 24 hours of each call). If you are unable to attend a QnA call you can pre-submit your questions via email and have those answered on the call.

Starting week 3 there will be “Thursdays With Tibor” mentorship calls. Tibor has been trained by Amanda in all aspects of this type of clearing, as well as completing the Foundations course in Trauma Release through the Body Wisdom Academy so he is a great resource to those who are learning some of these skills for the first time. We find that people love spending time getting tips and support, and picking his brain about this work. These calls are also not mandatory and will be recorded for those who can’t attend live.

In week 4 we will start the mandatory training calls, which are 1 hour per week. Once enrollment ends we will start announcing dates and times for those, and we will offer a few different options each week to accommodate for various schedules and timezones.

All in all, you can expect about 4-6 hours per week to dedicate to going over all course materials (including attending calls live or watching the recordings) plus time for daily practices. We believe in working efficiently and not adding hours to your already busy days, so the daily practices are kept as short and simple as possible. Of course things take more time when you are first learning but overall you will not need to spend hours per day to incorporate these practices into your daily care.

Q: What if I have to miss a week while the program is running?

A: Other than training calls (1 hour per week) that begin in week four of the program, (the week of October 16th) you will be able to view all instructional and support calls via recording. Additionally, each week there will be several different options to attend a training call, so we have found that most people are able to make the program work with their schedules. Much of the content is online and you can learn at your own pace. If you for some reason could not find the time to attend a training call one week, you would have the option to attend two calls in another week to make up for missing one. Overall our goal is to have each person attend 4 total training calls by the end of the program.

Q: Will I be certified in Clearing work at the end of this course?

A: This course is designed for wellness and education only, and is not intended to certify anyone in clearing work, nor to teach or pass along these tools and concepts to others without express permission from Amanda. This course is also NOT designed to teach you how to clear others, land, buildings, etc as the focus is about learning to care for your own energy anatomy. Please be aware that clearing others, land, etc comes with risk which is why we take it quite seriously to teach others practices that are safe and sane! Starting with knowing your own nervous system and biology before we even delve into anything energetic. Remember that “energy work” and spirituality without a grounded approach and focus on the body can ultimately cause more issues.

Q: I don’t have the ability to “see” energy or visions, will I still be able to do Self-Clearing?

A: Yes. I am of the opinion that our true design as human beings includes many more than 5 senses, and that even if those “extra” senses do not appear to be functioning, they can be turned back on when a person is ready. I know this is not great news for all of the seers, psychics, mediums, self-proclaimed “oracles” and shamans but……all true human beings have these senses intact if they are taught how to access them. In fact, just like vision is largely a construct of how the brain puts information together, so are our “extrasensory” abilities. Meaning that often people are already receiving information in this way and just have no cultural or educational context in order to make sense of it. If you can close your eyes right now and picture an elephant in your mind’s eye just because you’re reading this….then you have the ability to see. As with all of our regular senses there can be things that render a person unable to properly use their less commonly acknowledged abilities, but I would consider these exceptions and in some cases function could be regained.

Q: I am currently working with a shaman/healer/reiki practitioner/ayahuascero/Emotion Code Practitioner/Joe Dispenza/Psilocybin/Tarot Reader….etc, can I do this work at the same time?

A: Short answer, you can do whatever you want. However, if there is one single foundational concept to this work, it is that we want you to learn what YOUR 100% truly “you” energy (aka True Source) feels like in your body without any interference whatsoever. To me this is the definition of Sovereignty in an energetic sense- a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. In my experience, true energetic sovereignty is YOU occupying your entire energetic anatomy, at all times. Without guides, guardian angels, spirits, ancestors, substances of any kind (yep, including plant medicines) or anything else. Just you, which is the absolute foundation of energetic/spiritual health and discernment. This all occurs primarily at the sensation level, not in the mind, and therefore requires a constant and loving attunement to your own body, which is talking to you all day every day. The greater majority of spiritual practices being touted today are very stimulating and activating to the mind, which is where we get easily mislead. I would even go so far to say that many of these practices encourage you to get OUT of the body, even though that is the personal equivalent of denying nature itself. With our eons of inherited traumas, it is all too tempting to go towards things that take us away from our bodies and true nature because we have been shown in various ways that our bodies are not safe places to be. And this is in denial of life itself, even if there are moments for each of us where that appears to be true. In addition, many spiritual practices such as channeling and especially using psychedelic plant medicines have a strong effect on the circuits of the body that can result in flooding the body with pleasure signals, or even just rushes of power. While these experiences are not inherently bad, those feelings of pleasure and power are not sustainable as they are not of us, and often result in addiction to seeking those outside experiences of heightened sensation. This is also what we can classify in some cases as “false light” or in essence, a source of power that is finite.

So again, you can do whatever you want and to get the most out of this program that you are investing time, effort, and money into- it is highly recommended that you avoid all substances for the duration of the course and perhaps set aside some of your current practices in order to get down to the very basics.

Q: I am a spiritual/wellness/health practitioner myself. Is this work for me?

A: Yes, this work is for you! Originally this program was going to be geared specifically towards fellow practitioners, as there are so many people out there wanting to offer their services (or already offering them) who want to end cycles of burnout, fatigue, taking on the energy of their clients, or feeling as if they are outgrowing some of their current practices and not sure what direction to take.

The bottom line with basic nervous system work, energetic hygiene and self-clearing is that it can help to clear out the noise and thought-clutter in the mind and feel more like you. From that place it is easier to know what next steps to take.

As a practitioner, we are often taught basic energetic practices to set a safe space and then disconnect after, but we are NOT always taught the mechanisms of why we take on energy in the first place. Hint: it goes back again to the nervous system and early childhood experiences. With some spiritual awareness it can be easy to assume that we are always under attack from entities, yet it can be harder to take responsibility for healing the traumas that give certain energies access to us in the first place. In some ways, learning to clear is the band-aid solution while learning to regulate your own biological responses is the long term “cure” for many types of energetic infringements. If you are a practitioner who was never taught how to care for your own energy anatomy and space, then this program could be for you. If you are a practitioner who is aware of how to disconnect from clients but still feel like you take on too much outside energy, then this program could be for you. If you are a practitioner with many gifts yet you are struggling with your own health, wellbeing, and personal life then this program could be a good fit for you to establish a healthy foundation again, or perhaps for the first time ever!

Q: Will this work stir up a bunch of my own traumas? I don’t think I can handle taking on more right now.

A: The short answer is that trauma and nervous system work is different for everyone so that we can’t say for certain that nothing will be brought up in this process, but the design of the program is not to do deep trauma work, no. We will be incorporating some education and some very simple and gentle tools for nervous system work and trauma release, but you can think of it as just an introductory taste of what that type of work can do for you. The reason we include it at all is that over the past few years of offering clearings for nearly 300 people, I have found over and over that there is a direct link between trauma held in the body and the potential for energetic infringement in the human energy field. For that reason, I have trained (and continue to train) in trauma release techniques through the Body Wisdom Academy and am constantly seeking more education around nervous system health and trauma. For those who find value in the techniques that we will share in the program, I have references for going deeper in the work with other trusted practitioners and educators.
