A 6-Week Online Training Program

Begins August 23, 2026
Over six weeks, three renowned teachers show you how to cultivate your body’s vital energy—and use it to support yourself and those you care about (including your animal friends).
Energetic Healing Is a Part of You.
Here’s How to Awaken It.
For millennia, healers have recognized that the body has not only a physical dimension but an energetic one—and for generations, practitioners have refined specific methods to replenish, balance, and restore well-being.
Known as Qi in Qigong and prana in the yogic traditions, subtle energy flows through and around all living things. And by consciously attuning to and guiding this vital life force, we all have the capacity to vitalize ourselves and others.
The More You Use Your Vital Energy, the More It Grows
“Yes, I want to heal myself and others in this way, but I’m already drained and don’t have an ounce of energy to spare.”
It’s a concern that Robert, Laurie, and Shamini—this program’s expert guides—often hear, and they’ve seen it stop many from ever accessing their natural abilities.
After all, if you’ve been running on “low battery,” why risk a total shutdown?
The truth, they assure us, turns out to be the opposite:
Subtle energy healing draws from the life energy that surrounds us all, so that whenever you practice it, you don’t expend yourself—you connect with a limitless reservoir.
You Don’t Have to Be a Professional or Master Practitioner
Almost everyone can heal energetically, and that includes you. The capacity to sense and direct this energy is a natural part of being human. You already have it … and tapping into this gift may be easier than you think.
While you don’t need years of experience, learning from those who do is invaluable. With The Subtle Energy Healing Immersion, two renowned practitioners and a respected research scientist invite you to train with them—live and online, across six weeks:
Qigong Master Robert Peng shares practices to awaken and circulate your life force for healing yourself and others.
IET(Integrated Energy Therapy) trainer and master practitioner Laurie Nealon guides you in opening and clearing your energy field, so healing can flow through you and those you offer it to.
Researcher Shamini Jain, PhD, bridges the science and the spiritual, connecting what you feel in practice to what current research is discovering about how energy healing works.
Learn by Doing in This Practice-Focused Training
In this program, you’ll engage with practical techniques to clear, build, and direct vital energy through the body for self-healing and healing others.
You’ll have opportunities to get your questions answered in live Q&A teacher sessions and practice with fellow participants gathered online in real time, to both give and receive healing.
The goal? Your direct and felt experience of inner restoration, balance, and self-validated ability to use these tools effectively.
Heal Yourself and Those You Care About
Once you’ve found confidence in working with this energy for your own benefit, you’ll learn to bring it to your family and friends (including the furry, four-legged ones and the green ones growing on your windowsill).
Are you ready to make energy healing a part of your life—and begin supporting yourself and the ones you love at a whole new level?
What You’ll Get Out of This Training
During this six-week experience, you’ll learn how to
Open and clear your energy channels
To serve as an efficient conduit for energy to flow freely where and how it’s needed.
Build and replenish your own life force
With simple daily practices that steady you and restore you when you feel depleted.
Sense and direct energy with your hands and focused intention
A foundational skill of energy healing, taught step by step in the Qigong and Integrated Energy Therapy traditions.

Energy multiplies when people gather and practice together, a powerful option you’ll learn to engage through this program’s live sessions.
Understand the science behind the work
With Shamini Jain, PhD, a recognized and pioneering researcher of biofield and energy healing modalities.

A Quick Guide to This Course’s Concepts
The vital life force that flows throughout the universe, especially within and around living organisms. Although it affects us differently than conventionally measured body processes, it can be cultivated, refined, directed, and shared for healing yourself and others.
The Chinese term for subtle life-force energy. In Qigong, health depends on cultivating and balancing it.
The Sanskrit term, from the yogic tradition, for subtle life-force energy—the equivalent of Qi.
The body’s primary energy centers, traditionally seven, running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.
In the yogic tradition, the subtle channels through which prana flows, intersecting at the chakras; comparable to the meridians of Chinese medicine.
In Chinese medicine and Qigong, the network of channels through which Qi flows.
A contemporary scientific term for the field of energy and information that surrounds and permeates the living body.
A general term for practices that work with the body’s subtle energy to support physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Includes Qigong, IET, sound healing, and other traditions.
An inclusive term for traditional Chinese practices that cultivate, balance, and direct Qi through movement, stillness, breath, visualization, and other methods.
A martial art, spiritual practice, and part of Qigong that carries Qigong’s energy principles within formal training that includes movements, sequences of postures, and other techniques. Qigong is the broader umbrella tradition.
Laurie Nealon’s primary modality. A hands-on, attunement-based practice developed by Stevan J. Thayer that works with the energy field and “cellular memory” to gently clear stored blockages—“getting the issues out of your tissues”—at the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
Acting as a conduit through which subtle energy flows.
A learnable process (one of many taught in this program) that opens and expands a person’s capacity to channel healing energy.
The use of sound and vibration (voice, tone, resonance, and frequencies) to influence the body’s energy states, a focus of Shamini Jain’s guidance in this course.
A sound or phrase intoned to focus the mind, activate specific energy centers, and direct energy.
Program Overview
Over six weeks, you’ll move through three complementary bodies of work—Laurie Nealon’s Integrated Energy Therapy, Robert Peng’s Qigong healing, and Shamini Jain’s science and sound healing—woven together into a continuous arc. Each week brings:
- A new pre-recorded video teaching module and practice module each week
- Live, in-depth opening and closing sessions where Laurie, Robert, and Shamini guide you through extended healing practices to experience and use in your own work
- Two live Q&A sessions: one with Laurie on September 6, and one with Robert on September 27
- Thursday community gatherings for group discussion and practice—where you'll both give and receive healing
Live Opening Event
Sunday, August 23
We’ll gather online with all three teachers to begin the immersion together. Shamini will open with a short overview of the science of energy healing and its roots in Indigenous wisdom. Laurie will establish your energetic foundation—grounding, the central channel, and a protective practice to keep your field clear. Robert will lead a movement-based practice to awaken your energy. Laurie will then present her first week of teaching. (About 2.5–3 hours, with a break.)
Weeks 1–3
Opening Your Healing Capacity
with Laurie Nealon
(Pre-Recorded & Live Instruction)
Integrated Energy Therapy, channeling, and self-healing (August 23, August 30, September 6)
You’ll begin by learning to open your energy field and direct subtle energy. From there, you’ll deepen the practice by working with the body’s cellular memory and applying these techniques to your own self-healing. In the third week, you’ll bring channeling together with hands-on healing and start sharing it with the people closest to you, closing with a live “Ask the Teacher” Q&A.
Tuesday, September 8
Live Science Q&A
with Shamini Jain, PhD
(Pre-Recorded & Live Instruction)
A real-time one-hour session for your questions about the research. Shamini will address the evidence, meet honest skepticism head-on, and connect the science to what you’ve been feeling in your own practice—bridging Laurie’s work and the Qigong weeks ahead.
Weeks 4–6
Awakening and Directing Your Life Force
with Robert Peng
(Pre-Recorded & Live Instruction)
Qigong Healing (September 13, September 20, September 27)
Robert introduces Qigong principles and methods through the Four Golden Wheels practice, opening the body’s major energy centers and awakening your Qi. You’ll then build and direct that energy with sword-finger and palm-healing techniques, sending Qi to yourself and others. The final week takes you into distance healing and group practice, closing with a live “Ask the Teacher” Q&A.
Live Closing Event
Sunday, October 4
The cohort reunites for a celebration and integration. Shamini opens with a sound and mantra healing meditation—vocal toning and mantras that connect your voice to your energy field. All three teachers return for reflection and discussion; the whole community joins in a group distance-healing send, and you’ll leave with guidance for continuing your practice. (About 2.5–3 hours.)
Every Thursday
Live Community Sessions
(morning and evening)
Twice each Thursday, you’ll gather with fellow learners to practice together: a brief check-in, a guided run-through of the week’s core exercise, small breakout groups to share and practice, and a closing healing circle directed to someone—or something—in need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When does the program begin?
The program begins on August 23, 2026. You’ll receive access to the course platform as soon as you enroll.
- What will I actually be able to do by the end of the program?
By the end of the six weeks, you’ll have hands-on experience with a set of practical self-healing techniques: opening and clearing your own energy field, building and directing your life force, working with your chakras and central channel, and using your hands and voice to move healing energy. You’ll also have practiced sending healing to others, including across distance, and taken part in group healing with the full community. The goal is your felt capability and confidence in these abilities after you’ve completed the course.
- Do I need any existing ability or experience to do this?
The capacity to sense and work with subtle energy is a natural part of being human. You don’t have to be a professional healer, a master practitioner, or “gifted.” The program is built for everyday learners and begins at the beginning, with teachers known for making this work accessible. All you need is to show up with curiosity and a desire to gain these skills. That said, experienced healers new to Robert and Laurie’s respective modalities or Shamini’s research will find much to gain from this program.
- How much time will the program take each week?
Plan for roughly two to four hours a week:
- One learning module and one practice module on pre-recorded video per week, to complete on your own schedule.
- About nine hours of live, online Q&A guidance with your instructors throughout the program.
- Weekly community practice and discussion gatherings (offered Thursday mornings and evenings—optional but highly recommended).
- All live teacher sessions are recorded in case you aren’t available (or want to revisit the teachings and practices).
- How is the program structured?
The Subtle Energy Healing Immersion spans six weeks, from August 23 to October 4, 2026, with pre-recorded weekly modules described above that you can take at any time to fit your schedule.
To enrich your experience, there are also several live online sessions, in this order:
- Live Opening Session with Shamini Jain, Laurie Nealon, and Robert Peng – Sunday, August 23, 11 am PT | 2 pm ET ( 2 hours total)

- September 10
- September 17
- September 24
- October 1
- What if I can’t feel the energy … or I’m just skeptical?
Many people feel little at first and notice more as they practice. Shamini Jain’s dedicated Science Q&A session will be particularly valuable if you’re a “skeptical-yet-open-minded” student. Here, she’ll provide research to inform your own direct experiences during the program. You don’t have to believe anything in advance; you only have to be willing to try and draw your own conclusions.
- Is this program a form of medical or mental health treatment?
No, this program is not intended to diagnose or treat any physical or mental health condition or be a substitute for therapy with a qualified, licensed medical or mental health clinician. This program can be considered complementary to approved medical treatments, one-on-one therapy, and other psychotherapy modalities.
- How long will I have access to program materials?
You will receive lifetime access to the entire course, including recordings of all live sessions, to reinforce and deepen your work over time.
- Will I receive a certificate for completing this program or continuing education credits?
Currently, Sounds True is not offering CEU credits for most of its online courses and programs, including this one.
- Are there scholarships or financial aid available?
Yes, the Sounds True Foundation, our nonprofit sister organization, provides donor-supported scholarships for this program. These scholarships are intended for those who are in genuine financial need. You can apply for partial or full financial aid here.
- I need tech support and/or program access instructions. Where can I find help?
If you have any questions, please visit our Help Center to find answers to commonly asked questions.
