Hypnos Healing

David and I had been wanting to visit Egypt for a long time but various things put it off. In October this year we noticed a spiritual holiday to Egypt for 11.11, my birthday. The time was right for us to go with a lovely group of spiritual people led by Ladan Ratcliffe. She had been guided to perform various meditations/rituals at ancient sites, helping to bring in the new energies, especially around the Great Pyramid on 11.11.11.

Past Lives

We knew that the trip would not necessarily be an easy one as past life issues were bound to arise.
During a healing workshop some years ago, I spontaneously experienced a life where I was stoned to death outside the great pyramid. I knew that I was a young priest, very nervous, saying ‘they think I can’t do this!’ I knew that it was some sort of initiation. When we were there by the Great Pyramid of Cheops on the 11th, my birthday, I felt so agitated and uncomfortable. Then I became angry with everyone- for stoning me; for their ignorance and intolerance. In Cairo and Giza all the troops and police were on the alert, watching for groups of people preparing spiritual ceremonies at sacred sites. They moved us on after a few minutes at the great pyramid and the sphinx.

It was the same energy of ignorance and intolerance that I had felt 2000 years before! However, instead of being unheard and unjustly eliminated, this time, we were heard and we finished what we came to do. As I worked through my emotions, I felt strong, protective and empowered by my anger. Looking back now I can see that other sensitive members of our group had been feeling unfairly criticised and judged for days. The same energies had triggered their feelings.

David regressed me to this past life when we got home and I experienced myself as a young gentle boy of 14 around 3BC. I was already meditating and doing spiritual practice in the old ways. A statue of Anubis stood in front of me. There was also a big scarab. My name was something like Jephuet and I wore the old style necklet around my shoulders. I remembered the taste of fresh bread, wine and something I said was stewed pheasant.

I left my mother, a tall woman in light robes and was sent to ‘priest school’. I learned new ways to read and write and to measure. To me it seemed strict and unnatural. They forcing learning and healing instead of allowing. You had to go by dogma and undisputable teachings instead of being able to discuss and use natural reason. Everything was learnt by rote and you were punished for thinking outside the box. In this regression, I mentioned Jesuits and Israelites but Jesuits were founded in 15th C so this must be incorrect. I know that Hebrews or Israelites fled to Egypt to escape persecution and famine from about 600BC. The Arabs in the first century BC started the myth about the pyramids being built by slave labour but the Hebrews weren’t in Egypt at that time. Perhaps the school I went to was Hebrew or influenced by them as they had certainly moved away from Egyptian tradition. I noted that women giving birth had to wear robes to fully cover their bodies instead of being unashamed, free and relaxed.

At some time I saw some of the rooms below the Sphinx. They were used for meditation and for healing. Another deep passageway led to some mysterious gateway.

I grew to be a strong muscular youth but troublesome to the priests with my arguments. I was 18. At a ceremony, ‘sacrificial lamb’ came to mind and I was led away to perform some rite of passage in the pyramid. I knew from my past experience of this past life that I would be taken from this place and stoned to death. Perhaps because I had done so much healing on it, it didn’t feel too scary and I was able to see some of the riff raff who had to be encouraged to stone me.
I recognise now that the other young men who followed me learned that they had to keep the old knowledge secret and perhaps this started the tradition of wisdom keepers.

Experiences in November 2011

On our trip to Egypt we sailed up the Nile and visited Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon headed God, Horus. We were meditating in a side room, when I felt my whole body start to shake. To control it, I had to breathe deeply like the dragons breath of Reiki attunements. My feet were glued to the floor and powerful energies swamped the room. I tried to communicate in my mind but was simply told, ‘we know’. I had to focus on my breathing. Although others were moved out of the room, I could not join them. This was something out of my control.

To me it felt like a clearing of negative energies from our group or the site. Four of us were left to ground the energy and then as the atmosphere got lighter, I found that I was able to leave. Later I was sure that the main energy in the room was the great God, Amun Ra. David and I discovered I had also had a past life as a High Priestess of Amun Ra. One of the members of our group had been walking around the perimeter of the site and he told us that he noted that there was a clearing of energy.

The next day we visited Karnak Temple. I felt really happy to be there. It was ancient Egyptian, not just Greco Roman. Many of the Greco Roman sites are built on the top of ancient temples. The new Greek rulers of the Ptolemaic Dynasty built them to appease the local population. After our healing work there, some of the attendants at Karnak led us through a locked gate and down a passageway to two rooms, representing night and day. As I walked down this passageway, I found myself chanting Ra Ra Amun Ra. It was just natural to go on chanting! The breathing started again and I had to wait what seemed an age for the energies to disperse so that I could go outside. I felt exhausted and emotional so I sat down to rest by a stone pillar. An attendant insisted that we see another side room and showed us a wall painting of Amun Ra. I just burst into tears, full of awe and emotion! He put my head against the wall and pressed against my heart centre. A little later we had hugs all around except for the police who simply held their hands out for baksheesh. The feeling I got from this temple was amazing- so happy, joyous, so connected and loved.

The photos taken at Edfu and Karnak show many orbs throughout the temples and particularly in this room on top of my head and close to the top of David’s.

So far our guide had only mentioned male priests, but the next day, Ahmed el Prince told us the story of a coffin that carried a curse. The coffin belonged to a high priestess of Amun Ra.

Real people in Ancient Egypt

Many of us were impressed with the energies in the temple of Isis. There was a little chapel just away from the temple that was very interesting and I believe now that it was dedicated to Hathor. There were also the temples of Hathor and Sekmet, particularly at Karnak. Women priests were often wives of priests and they celebrated with songs and dance, using a rattle like instrument, the sistrum. Drums were also played, copying Bes, a household God. The High Priestess was related to the Pharaoh, often the daughter. Although everyone practiced purification for certain ceremonies, they would celebrate afterwards with feasting and drink for 4- 5 days. Hathor and Sekmet were Goddesses of drink and drunkenness. It was said to be a good omen to bring in the New Year drunk! Even remedies would include wine or beer as well as herbs, spells and chants.

Our group led by Ladan celebrated with dance and song but perhaps we didn’t drink enough to satisfy the ancient Goddesses!

The workers on the Pyramids and in the Valley of the Kings were working 8 days out of a ten-day week. They were often given days off to brew beer for a festival but absences were also recorded for scorpion stings, eye diseases, funerals or rows with the wife or still being drunk the morning after! They had enough rations left over from their pay usually to barter with them and they swapped skills with other workers to work on their own tombs.
Wine was more expensive than beer. Paintings in tombs show women in a great semi circular bowl treading grapes for wine. We saw one of these great bowls somewhere and no one seemed to know what it was for! The stories of the Gods and Goddesses, the pharaohs and the powerful ones may be fascinating but so are the lives of the ordinary folk, who were in many ways just like us.

References taken from ‘Ancient Egypt’ by Lorna Oakes and Lucia Gahlin.

I once had a client who had an eating disorder for many years of her life. Not only did she have an extremely unhappy inner child but she also built numerous sub personalities at stages of her life when she could not cope with the problems and emotions. Where her unhappiness with herself was so extreme that she had no coping strategies, she reinvented herself and left the old hateful persona behind. Each new persona gave a new opportunity for happiness but without resolving the former issues there was no chance of success.

The inner child may also be regarded as a sub personality. It develops at a time of very limited understanding of the world and very little power. The child relies on parents or other adults for protection, love, food and other basic necessities. If these are not provided, the child may feel that it is struggling for its very existence. Different situations in life provide challenges that must be faced, however, with an undeveloped body and mind and lack of support, the child reaches an impasse; a challenge it cannot meet. The child has no coping strategy for this trauma or conflict, so the mind stores the memory and dilemma somewhere in the mind that we will call the ‘Inner Child’. Each trauma or conflict may create a slightly different inner child at a different stage of life.

The client I mentioned sent me a book on the inner child that she was studying in the hope that it would be useful to me. The book was popular and spoke with great authority on the inner child, quoting from many other sources. However, its perspective of the inner child was pure theory and speculation. One of its premises was that the inner child was the same as the higher self!

My intuitive abilities allow me to contact the inner child directly. There is no speculation, simply direct experience. Where a client is not making significant changes despite several sessions, it is useful to work with the inner child. For many years I have found that the inner child may block all the healing transformations that the client requires simply because it is emotionally stuck. Often it feels unsafe to change or it is angry and emotional. The child was unable to resolve an issue or situation, as it has no coping strategy. Since the situation causes extreme stress and thereby threatens his/her survival, the mind finds another coping strategy and that is to shelve this persona/ part of life/ inner child until a solution is found. Unless we direct our work at this part of the person, it remains untouched and unhealed.

As I worked with ‘Mary’, I saw a little girl, no older than 3years. She was dirty and screaming to be let out, banging on a door in a small dark place. Mary told me that her father would beat her then shut her in the coalhouse. As I worked with Mary and her inner child to change perceptions and to heal, I saw the child let herself out of the coal shed and sit in the front garden playing in the mud and making mud pies. When an adult tried to come out of the house she bombarded them with the pies! Not only did Mary change her perspective but the inner child also found her coping strategy and released her anger.

‘Helen’ had an inner child but I struggled to find her. Helen was blond but the little girl I saw had dark curly hair. As I looked closer, I saw Helen underneath the other girl. The description I gave fitted the client’s sister who was the favourite of the family, strong and domineering. She took Helen’s toys and bullied her and there was nothing that Helen could do!

Sometimes as you work with the inner child and resolve the issues at that earliest time, you will see the next traumatic stage in their life. ‘Joanne’ was shown to me at age 5 or 6, trembling with fear. As we resolved her fears we moved to the age of 12 then 15, 19 and then at the age of 21. At each stage, she had been unable to cope and see any solution to her problems. Joanne recognised herself in the descriptions and gained a new perspective of her life but more importantly, the inner child was released from the darkness of fear and trauma.

There are many techniques for working with the inner child. If you or your client can trace or intuit the correct stages to work with, then you can resolve the issues by acknowledging and accepting the vibration/feelings that played part in attracting this scenario and the ancestral origins of these vibrations. You may also need to thank the body mind of the inner child for holding on to this trauma for so long and give the love and healing that it so needs. Intuitives may also give Source level Perception of the circumstances and people involved and why these people acted as they did.

Before we came home from the last RPT workshop in London, we had time to visit the Science Museum. There is a special exhibition on psychology so it of course that attracted us. Within the first 5 minutes I found out some really interesting things about genes so I’m going to give you my interpretation here. It was also very nice to see in black and white what we tell our Reference Point Therapy students and clients- the fact that feelings can be passed down from your ancestors.

A scientist called Sidney Brenner did some research with nematode worms, which are really good to work with as they only have 959 cells. This makes it easy to study them. One third of these cells make up the nervous system. This in itself is amazing- one third is taken up with sensory processing, information and safety mechanisms.

The genes that direct the creation of this worm initially make it into ‘a sort of worm’, in other words a prototype worm. As it develops other genes kick in that determine the finished article. However, the scientists found the sort of worm it was to become, unpredictable.

There were pictures of various types of foetus at various stages of development and it was fascinating to see how the dog, hare and human baby all looked the same for quite a while. Presumably we follow the example of the worm to a certain extent! We have a basic format that is further defined as we develop. Apoptosis is a process that kills off excess cells to sculpt and refine parts of the body. For example, the spade like limbs of the foetus are trimmed by killing off cells to become hands and fingers.

Apparently there is a gene called the Hox gene that keeps tabs on the process of evolution because when it is disrupted, we find evolutionary throwbacks like whales with legs or flies with extra wings. It is a common control mechanism that works with our development from top to bottom. I wonder if some of the disabilities we see are due to the disruption of this gene by chemicals like thalidomide?

Another interesting insight was the importance of food. The only difference between a Queen Bee and a worker is that from its early stages, the queen has been fed on royal jelly. As we consume food and turn it into chemicals, these affect our development. For example, one chemical creates skin cells. When we increase the amount of the same chemical, it creates muscle cells! Of course the food that we eat is influencing our evolution and physical development.

In the Netherlands in 1944 there was a period called the Hunger Winter. Following this disastrous famine, children and later descendants were born with a high predominance of diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular illnesses. It was also accepted in the information in the museum that feelings were inherited!
We have always said that a family going through famine would have to eat whenever they found food. This feeling of needing to eat whenever food was available is how they survived so this would make a valuable epigenome to pass on to descendants. So many people are now suffering with weight or obesity issues and accept that it is hereditary. However, this is often seen as an excuse not to change. ‘I can’t help it, its genetic!’

As practitioners of Reference Point Therapy, we know that this is a fallacy and that inherited traits like the feelings of never being satisfied, always needing more may be found and released simply and easily. They are simply the body/minds way of keeping us alive and safe.

Stories are everywhere- soaps, series and dramas on the TV, films or cartoons at the Cinema, stories about the rich and famous in the newspapers and magazines and of course books, fiction or non fiction.

We commonly use these stories as light entertainment or sometimes as escapism from the humdrum life or work. However, storytelling is a tradition that has lasted thousands of years. Before we could read and write, we had minstrels and poets who passed information by song and verse. These stories were remembered and passed on. We remembered the facts and lessons because they were weaved into a story of connected events with colourful people and places. In the same way when we want to remember a list of 20 names for an exam, for example, we place them in a story in the right order and the list is easier to remember. So a story had many uses, perhaps first an entertainment, next information about people, places or things and then a lesson on what may happen to the people and things in certain places.

If you lived in isolated places with few people and little experience of the world, these stories would have a massive impact on you and prepare you for unknown dangers. Even before we had the language to tell stories we made drawings of people, animals and experiences. Evidence of them can be found in cave dwellings all around the world. That is why I say this tradition has lasted thousands of years not just since the minstrels of the middle ages or the Romans or the Greeks of antiquity.

The trouble with a story is that it may predispose us to judge a situation or person. We may filter out the truth of a situation in order to make it fit our story or make people into heroes or villains. How many women are looking for a hero who will sweep them off their feet? Innumerable! They are been brought up on Cinderella, Snow White and various other fairy stories. Men can be just as bad when they see a beautiful woman and imagine what she is like rather than seeing the truth. We can easily imagine what we know and we all know stories.

One horrendous story was the Witches Hammer. It caught the imagination of superstitious and ignorant people everywhere and led to the torture and slaughter of many innocent women, accused of witchcraft. Another wicked story was that of the nature of Jews, leading to the holocaust. So stories are not always beneficial. However, for many people a story is strong and compelling. Our primate brain produces words and logic, our limbic/mammal brain functions by pictures and our R-Complex brain, works by sequences of pictures so the story may be working with the whole Triune Brain.

Many children love you to read the same stories over and over again, delighting in the pictures on the page or evoked; correcting you if you get the slightest word wrong. They own the story and the images created- so it has to remain unchanged. The R Complex is possessive, territorial and stubborn so strangely enough this cute behaviour may be reptilian! As they grow older, people make a story out of their lives. Some have a short simple story that may change as they develop and adapt; other people feel so strongly about their story that they have to write it down in a book.

At a recent mind, body spirit fair, I did lots of past life readings. They were fascinating, as I never knew what was coming next. However, each person had a theme or story running through the past lives revealed. Sometimes it was the lesson that relationships are unreliable and hurt; or that animals are nicer than people; or a lesson of strength and endurance. Many such themes were carried out over many lifetimes until resolved and healed.

When we consider the story in terms of our personal development, spiritual growth or healing it may often be a hindrance if we refuse to change it. We need to let go of the feeling that relationships are always unreliable; that people are always unkind or abusive; that life is an endurance test because these are the things we attract into our lives by giving out these vibrations.

When I reached a certain age, I was able to look back on my life and see how events had led me change my life, career, husband, priorities etc and how each period of my life had provided me with the resources for what I now love to do. As my story unfolds, it reveals events that gave me wisdom and insights into the true nature of the world.
If I had created my story before this certain age, it would have been very different and full of dramas, tragedies and misery. There would of course be happy times but these would have been overwhelmed by the story and lessons that needed to be remembered. Perhaps I did create my story early on but I have always been fortunate in having a brilliant memory for forgetting! As a consequence I shift and change so much that I don’t recognise myself a few years back.

Not everyone is as fortunate. Some people hold on to their stories like glue and refuse to shift. The story is their identity in life and if the story changes they don’t know who they are any longer. Perhaps the story also justifies their behaviour so that they don’t have to change or they feel safe within that story, as if it is the comfort zone. As they hold on to the story, they feel safe- as long as they remember they won’t let it happen again. It can also make them feel special like a hero or heroine in a story battling the forces of evil. If this story has continued over many life times, it is particularly strong and if the story is questioned their integrity is threatened.

Working with Reference Point Therapy, we can explore these ideas and acknowledge and accept all the feelings found. However, we have found that sometimes we need to persuade the Higher Self to accept these changes and this is where Source Level perception is extremely useful

No matter how miserable we may feel at certain times of life, our biology wants us to survive.
Wherever we encounter a threatening incident, we adapt strategies for dealing with it. If we are bullied, we may have to learn to submit; if we are powerless we may have to manipulate; if there is famine, we have to eat when we can. If these strategies work, they are passed down to our descendants by the epigenomes that work with DNA to turn on or off the appropriate genes.

Often these strategies are subconscious residing in particular in the R-Complex, the ‘reptilian’ brain. When we encounter an incident that brings these strategies and the connected feelings to the fore, sights, sounds, sensations are recorded to make us more aware of circumstances when this strategy may be needed. This increases the number of triggers for this strategy.

The strategy manifests simply as a feeling of, for example, never being good enough; afraid to be seen; or a strategy for the human race like nurturing as a mother. Feelings are simply chemicals that flow through the body but they affect the systems and cells of the body inspiring us to act in particular ways. When we resist these feelings, it disrupts the natural flow of information chemicals and causes stress that doesn’t ease until we have acknowledged the feelings or better still taken action.

When the strategy is triggered, the sympathetic system is activated ready for some level of fight, flight or freeze response. All energy is directed to this purpose so the body is in tension and unable to repair itself or even work normally. Once the situation is resolved, the parasympathic systems kicks in and we feel tired as the body restores and renews. At this stage there may also we be physical effects that are uncomfortable for us as the body gets rid of any temporary coping measures it has taken during the crisis.

For example a mother who has been traumatised by seeing her child’s accident puts all her attention into nurturing the child so that it survives. The cells of the breast multiply in order to nurture. At the same time cells holding dormant virus or bacteria are created so that when these breast cells have performed their temporary function, they can be disposed of. At the end of the trauma when the child has recovered, the mother’s body can go into the recovery phase- the parasympathetic system.

The mother has been so preoccupied that she has not noticed the swelling growing in the breast but when she does, she checks with the doctor who advises tests and gives a prognosis of cancer. This shock to her system puts her back into stress mode, which may cause more swelling or the creation of more emergency cells throughout the body. These may be diagnosed as secondary cancers. The body is just taking remedial action in order to be more efficient. Please don’t take this as advice not to do anything about breast cancer! This is an example taken from ‘Why am I sick’ by Richard Flook.

He also documents the stages the body goes through in order to deal with a situation of unprecedented stress (called UDIN, unexpected, dramatic, isolating with no strategy to deal with it) and its subsequent recovery. He says that we all go through these changes constantly, colds, sore throats, indigestion being examples. In such cases however, the shock may not have been so severe.

Christian Fleche, in ‘The Biology Source Book’ gives many other examples that show the path of dis-ease from the first trauma or inner conflict that causes stress leading to physical changes in the body in order to cope with the stress. Following resolution of the stress phase, the body heals but creates a healing crisis to test its ability to survive. More of this in another time but for now you can get the idea that the body/mind has an agenda that is quite hidden from our conscious awareness.

Many people have gone through UDIN’s and not become physically ill. In my opinion, the difference between the body coping under stress and making physical changes (dis-ease) is that when the strategies for survival it relies upon are no longer working, new ways are found.

Some of you are joining in with David’s Internet training modules on Manifesting and Abundance, Relationships and on the Intuitive Anatomy subjects; heart, lungs etc. These slides are based on Reference Point Therapy techniques but may easily be adapted for Theta Healers who understand the differences in the two therapies. That is what this Blog is all about. Please note that the opinions expressed are personal from 4 years experience of teaching Theta Healing and more years using it in practice. These opinions are not judgmental in any way. I appreciate the comprehensive healing system and the beautiful healing energies of Theta.

We are the Creator
In Theta Healing, we refer and defer to the Creator. To go into the Theta brainwave state the most common way is to go up in your mind as far as you can go. This led some Theta Healers, even teachers to believe that Creator or Source was separate and distant from them. Later it led to allegations that Creator was in fact some spiritual being contacted by Vianna and helping her in order to be worshipped by many. I always taught that we are in fact part of the Creator or Source of all that is. When we go into the Theta state we feel the power of Source and we manifest with this power.

In Reference Point Therapy, there is no reference to any power outside of yourself. You go into your Beingness to heal, to make changes and to manifest. You recognise that you are the Oneness and you work with the power within.

You are what you believe?
In Theta healing we are often taught about the power of thought and beliefs. I remember people downloading foreign language dictionaries, as they ‘believed’ it would work. Digging is the process of finding the root belief that causes discomfort or dis-ease in the body/mind. We remove the offending belief and replace it with a more appropriate one. For the last few years of my teaching I taught digging and changing beliefs but as an aside, I would also explain about Source level Perception and how we use it to reach deeper levels than beliefs.

In Reference Point Therapy, we talk about tones. Quantum Physics shows us that everything is vibration; everything started with a vibration whether you believe in the Big Bang Theory or ‘in the beginning there was a word and the word was God’. A tone is a vibration that by the Law of Attraction leads to like tones or vibrations. Listen to a bird singing and you have a tone or vibration of joy or perhaps a danger signal. Tones indicate feelings well before we get to the level of forming beliefs. ‘Feeling buried Alive never die’ by Karol Truman is an excellent book clearly describing how we are born with feelings that give us perceptions. Perceptions are the way we see things; the glass is half full or half empty only because we are happy or gloomy.

‘The Living Matrix’ DVD shows us scientific experiments where people are shown a sequence of random pictures on a computer screen and their reactions are monitored. The first part of the body to perceive the image is not the brain. The heart picks up on the image even before it is shown on screen. It sends a message to the brain to help it to understand the image. It is reasonable to suppose that initially the heart and feelings help the brain to understand any situation. However, this must be tedious for every situation. A short cut would be to have a set of values or beliefs ready waiting for use. This is how I understand beliefs; a set of rules to use as a short cut for action.

You are not what you believe, you are what you feel. Your feelings or the tones of feelings give out vibrations that attract situations and people to you. Your feelings create your perceptions, beliefs, behaviour, emotions, expectations and produce symptoms of dis-ease.
When we change the tone, people say things like, ‘why is everybody being nice to me now?’

Only Creator heals
In Theta Healing, we defer to a greater power that of the Creator. This then detracts from our own power and diminishes us. Some Theta Healers dislike this feeling and automatically build their own compensation – an Ego.

In Reference Point Therapy, we go into our Beingness, becoming Source, becoming the Oneness so that there is no separation. This feeling is so powerful that we do not need the Ego to compensate for any lack.

Digging and Deep Digging is the way to find the Root

In Theta Healing it is unusual to be taught to focus on feelings during digging. I certainly did for the last few years. However, most people find digging difficult. This is because you are working with the monkey mind, the brain that thinks in words and doesn’t really understand that it is governed by feelings. In fact it often doesn’t understand why it does what it does and all it can come up with are excuses. When you find a bottom belief, for example, ‘I have to be submissive for my mother to love me’ or ‘God never loved me’, what led to this belief? There was a feeling or tone first. That tone may have come from pre human existence, as a Soul before any physical existence or from past lives or genetic lines.

In Reference Point Therapy, we follow the feeling, in the body and into the past. The subconscious mind stores memories by a priority of which is the most dangerous so that it can keep us safe. I have worked with people in depression who can’t find a happy memory one week but the next week after consideration they remember amazing adventures and experiences. We use the feeling and it allows memories to arise naturally and easily. We follow until we can go no further or we find why this feeling/tone has hung on for so long.

Downloads give us what we never had?

In Theta Healing, we use downloads to give joy where we never knew what it was. We may give Creators perspective of joy, how to feel it, when to feel it etc. This is unduly complicated. It feels nice to do it but does it really work like that?

There’s lots of research and evidence now from Bruce Lipton, Grant McFetridge, Peter Levine, Richard Flook, Wolf Reik and others to show that trauma or conflict has an adverse reaction on the cells of the body. Receptors on the cells may be blocked by trauma. Epigenomes may ensure that this pattern continues in the genes of any offspring so the traumatic feelings continue. Its not that we never had a feeling, it’s that the receptors were blocked due to trauma. Downloads don’t remove the blockage; we need to get to the root cause and release the trauma for that.

In Reference Point Therapy, we learn about the new Biology and understand how the body reacts to trauma and conflict. By tracing feelings back we uncover and release the trauma that stopped us from claiming our birthright of joy.

The Four levels of Beliefs

In Theta Healing, there are four levels of beliefs, core, genetic, history and Soul. Check it out but you also have Star seed, Mitochondial, Reptilian and Angelic.

In Reference Point Therapy, you are not concerned with levels of beliefs or feelings, you just work with the tone that started it all.

What do we attract?

In Theta Healing we learn that we attract according to our beliefs, for example even viruses and bacteria have beliefs. If we accepted a curse, why did we attract it? However, when we deal with entities and nasty stuff, we just get rid of them. My students have always been taught to find out why they attracted them but I’m not sure how many others do this.

In Reference Point Therapy we work with the tone that created the attraction of this effect.

Who does the work?

In Theta Healing we work our socks off. We go into Theta to download stuff; to change beliefs; to ask for advice; to do body scans; to go into the Master cell etc. The client often sits there watching us do our stuff and later is shown that it has worked by muscle testing.

In Reference Point Therapy, the client is involved all along the way. It is the client finding feelings, following the path, bringing up memories. As we do the work, their feelings change. Feelings are assessed on the suds scale so we can easily see how things are progressing. They will also go through different transitions during a session, usually reporting feelings of lightness and after tears a smile returning to the face. They experience their journey and it brings a greater depth of understanding to the whole process.
Our work is much simpler as the client is being given the responsibility for his or her own healing. We guide the process and make a simple acknowledgment statement at the appropriate times.

Hidden Gain

In Theta Healing we look for hidden gain where a client does not heal or change easily.

In Reference Point Therapy, there is always a benefit in holding on to this feeling. It keeps us safe in some way. Perhaps it was an ancestral strategy developed hundreds of years ago. Maybe it is a strategy in our cells dating from before we were even human. This is understood as we delve into feelings and tones.

Manifesting and Abundance

In Theta Healing the Manifesting and Abundance workshop concentrates on beliefs and downloads, the efficacies of which have already been discussed. In Reference Point Therapy, the focus will be on how you feel in certain situations so that you can find the tones that are at the root of your issues and you also need to find the associations, often negative, that you have made with abundance or whatever it is you want to manifest. It is these negative associations that the subconscious remembers and that create the self-sabotage.
This is the first in the series of David’s Internet workshops. The whole series will continue to be repeated whilst there is demand.

We all have challenges to face in this world: Its how we learn and grow!
For some people it is all too much, so overwhelming that they hide away and isolate themselves. This may be physically, hardly leaving home; or mentally/emotionally, shutting off to the opinions or feelings of others, sometimes with drugs or alcohol ; or even spiritually, focusing on the spiritual world to the detriment of living a life on planet Earth.

Twenty years ago, I was one of these souls. I was suffering from severe depression for the second time in my life. I was determined not to turn to anti-depressants again and I found Reiki, crystals and meditation. In meditation or self-healing, I could escape the pressures of the world and return to a world of spiritual peace and calm. I was lucky to have a dog to walk and exercise classes that kept me physically fit, otherwise I may have ignored my physical needs and developed physical symptoms as many do. I gradually returned to full health and turned my attentions to helping others.

In my work now as a therapist, I see many people following the same strategy of escape. Some exist more out of body than in. In this state, the mind is peaceful but the body will not heal. Mental and emotional issues affect not just the mind but also the cells of our body. This is born out by scientists like Bruce Lipton and Grant McFetridge. The worse the body becomes, the more the mind and spirit withdraw leading to a spiral of deterioration. Others, who build a mental/emotional wall around them, may shut out healing as well as the connection with others.

Having found my own way out of depression with healing and meditation, I am certainly not decrying their use; I love my Reiki and my meditation. What I am advocating is the return to the physical world and a reality check in order to find and resolve our issues. What people fail to appreciate is that using these strategies may be like pouring oil over troubled waters. Everything seems calm and peaceful but what lies below?

Many years ago there were two people who had done me harm. I spent many an hour sending out love and light and forgiveness. One morning I awoke in an absolute rage! I didn’t know what to do with myself. As I was waking my subconscious brought it to my awareness to deal with!

Some healers or spiritual people say that when they give too much or lack sleep their energies go low and they become irritable or emotional. They try to ensure that this does not happen to keep feeling good. However, what I have found is that no matter how much and for how long you meditate or self heal, the issues are still there within you, waiting for you to drop your guard so that they can be found and healed. Most people squash and bury their emotions and pretend they are not there, for example, by repeating an affirmation like, ‘I love and forgive you’. When the emotions or grievances are triggered, they erupt! Spiritual people often smooth over the surface and imagine that they have dealt with the issues but they have not gone deep enough.

There is an old story about a priest who went into the wilderness to pray and meditate for enlightenment. After several years he returned to the world satisfied that he was now enlightened and wise. He was greeted by the ordinary village people, who asked him to teach them his ways. One little boy kept pulling at his robe for attention. The priest was talking and tried to ignore the irritation but eventually his temper erupted and he shouted at the child. The priest realised his shortcomings and returned to the wilderness in shame.

There is a shadow side to each and every one of us, where we hold our unresolved issues. Whatever we resist persists so eventually these issues emerge, often in trauma or conflict.

A beautiful spiritual lady who was a talented medium lost her husband. She was so independent that she rejected help from friends and relatives who offered it. Her guides advised her to accept such help but she was stubborn and proud. One night without knowing how, she flung out her right arm out and broke it. It was in a plaster for some time. During this time she had to accept helpers coming in to shower her and to dress her. One day a young man was sent to carry out her morning ritual. She rang the office to ask for a woman but he was the only one available so she had put up with this supreme indignity with a smile on her face. This challenge taught her a great deal and she quickly healed.

It is only when we face our demons that we can resolve inner conflict and find our true peace, harmony and power. The easiest simplest way that I have found to work on myself or my clients is Reference Point Therapy. As you find your issues and gently accept and acknowledge them, your energies change permanently giving longer lasting and higher peak states of happiness.

Coming from a martial arts background, I often refer to ‘going with the flow’ not realising how easy it is for this simple phrase to be misunderstood. Some people take it that you should accept whatever life throws at you with equanimity; and that whatever is happening should be allowed to happen. It can be very confusing to know when to accept and when to take action to make changes.

When we have workshops, often the list of students will change, sometimes even last minute and it turns out that most of them have something in common to draw them together. We can rightly conclude that this is how it should be and that somehow there has been a natural flow that leads them to us. Last week a lady rang me to ask about Theta. She had been given a Cygnus Review from 2007 that carried my advert. When I started to talk about the things that we are doing now, Reference Point Therapy and Intuitive Counselling, she exclaimed, ‘I knew I wasn’t really ringing about Theta- I just knew I had to ring you.’ She is now keen to organise a workshop in Edinburgh for us and has offered us accommodation. Three weeks ago, David and I made a decision to do Edinburgh Mind and Soul show in March next year and to do a reference Point Workshop there in August. This is the flow.

There is always a natural flow in nature; streams flow downhill; plants start to come alive in springtime and birds make nests; in autumn we gather harvests; tides ebb and flow according to the cycles of the moon. There is a natural balance in ecology. When we become aware of the rules of nature, it helps us to recognise how we fit into the scheme so we can work with it.

Many years ago, I went on a weekend workshop where we stayed in tepees. I shared with another woman who snuggled down in her sleeping bag and fell fast asleep. I couldn’t seem to get comfortable; owls were hooting, animals were rustling in the undergrowth and it felt too strange and alien for me to sleep. The next night was totally different; during the day we had been doing meditations and some work outside, at night we were singing and praying in a sweat lodge. The sounds outside now sounded soothing and comforting and they lulled me to sleep. Now I was in synchronicity with nature and in the flow!

When things flow, you feel content. You feel supported by the Universe and happy with yourself for doing the right things in the right way. This self-love and self-satisfaction is what leads to feelings of bliss. If there is an inner dialogue justifying your actions, you may feel ‘good’ but there is still inner conflict and this is not contentment. What is missing is that integrity, wholeness, coherence, centredness, where you act as a whole and as part of the whole.

If a person or situation makes you feel uncomfortable, it may well be that they are acting as a mirror so that you can find your own issues and resolve them. When you are aware of this or find a person to enlighten or support you, you are in the flow and can start to feel better. If you refuse to act and continue to feel miserable with anger and blame towards the other you can expect everything to get worse. Our actions affect others. We need to be aware of this and account for it to avoid feelings of regret and sadness.

There may be situations in which you feel comfortable as your expectations are satisfied. For example, a cheap rental car was full of dints and scratches and is what you expected. You could drive off quite satisfied but if you later examined your documents and found that the car was passed to you ‘in perfect condition’ and you had to account for its condition on its return, this could cause you quite a lot of discomfort, worry and ultimately cost. Going with the flow is not accepting everything blindly. It requires awareness. Awareness can come from prior knowledge, alertness, intuition or feelings.

My martial art is Aikido, the way of spirit and harmony. Although I am now out of practice, the principles that I learnt the hard physical way still remain with me. Don’t over reach for anything- wait until you are in the right place at the right time. (Over reaching could be called trying as opposed to succeeding). You must be centred. (We could equally call this acting in coherence or with one mind). Know or see in your mind that whatever you are doing is already done. (Now we call this manifesting). There is an easy way if you work with all your minds. Then you can achieve the unbelievable. (We now see this in healing work, Reiki, Theta or Reference Point Therapy).
The neo cortex or monkey mind wants to make everything hard and complicated because it is limited by reason and opinions. Once we get it all together it is flows and is easy.
All these principles require a level of awareness and self control; a far cry from letting just anything happen.

Our reality goes only as far as we ‘know’. I.e. what we understand and perceive. Our perceptions are influenced not only by the important people in our lives, be it parents friends or teachers, but by the feelings that we already have at birth. In the womb the same chemicals that flow through the mother also affect the baby. Her anger, fear or other emotion produces a neurotransmitter that flows through her body including the womb. This is what the baby knows and trusts!

Epigenetics also proves the affect of ancestral trauma and how we change the genes to adapt to certain situations. This is how humanity changes and develops. We inherit 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 from the father, including the changes and adaptations caused by mental, emotional or physical trauma.

For some people reality is a hard existence of work and escapism from it – booze, TV, computer games. Their ancestry and life experiences have excluded them from being able to perceive another reality more elusive and ethereal but real nevertheless. Those of us who have been working in this world for a long time have experienced proof of universal laws like the Law of Attraction and we have been made aware of the energy and vibrations that exist to support the physical world. This is how healing works and this is how ‘miracles’ happen.

If you were transported to medieval times and shone a torchlight, they would call it magic or alternatively deny that it happened. The same sort of mental blocks exist today. When David does a demonstration of Reference Point Therapy and changes an old injury of 20 years to normal mobility, there is surprise and disbelief. Quantum Physics explains how this works but this is outside of most people’s understanding.

What is God? Is it a great man sitting on a cloud directing operations? In this case when something bad happens you blame God. Man was created in God’s image not vice versa. We come from the Source of everything. As well as the physical form we have spirit and the essence of awareness that is Soul. As Source expands and grows with experience and wisdom, hopefully we copy in our own way to enrich the whole when we return.

Source is love, light and wisdom i.e. information. Source expands by collecting the information, which we souls gather by our life experiences. The more we can access the light and love of Source, the more we know, the wiser we grow and the more able to release negative perspectives. This is how we change our limited little world with its little dramas to gain wider perspectives and to ascend to higher vibrations.

As we change our energies so our bodies shift and fill with light becoming more free and empowered. Our minds release the shackles of inherited programming to see more clearly. Mother Earth is also going through this process and we can be in tune with her energies. Spiritual exercises that connect with the Earth energies and with the light of Source are as necessary to us as the physical exercises that keep our bodies healthy. As we absorb more information, we become capable of creating our reality. As John Wheeler said, ‘Information may not be what we learn about the world but what makes the world.’.
