Challenging Beliefs

Every couple of weeks, Emma and I host a practice session for a group of our fellow Theta Healing practitioners. These are a great chance to support each other and to build experience (and of course down the odd glass of wine!).

Last night we were looking at testing beliefs and a process called digging. This is a technique in Theta Healing used to discover and understand the unconscious and underlying beliefs a client may hold around a particular issue - health, emotional, spiritual. Muscle testing is used as a powerful tool to help experience these beliefs and digging is equally powerful at getting to the root or core beliefs. Once these are identified, the practitioner can ask for these beliefs to be changed to much more resourceful ones and a dramatic shift in healing takes place.

Beliefs may be held on several levels - they may have come to us through our family and ancestral lines. They may be a potent mix of social and historical beliefs. They may come from past lives or just our own core beliefs which we all build up through our lifetime.

What interests me is how as practitioners we need to be constantly challenging the beliefs and 'truths' we hold. And this is why it can be difficult to do this process in self-healing.

A belief is powerful and life-influencing for the very reason that we hold it to be a self-evident truth.

So we may experience a health challenge as the body's way of de-toxing and cleansing. Now while that can be eased in the particular symptom it is required to examine the underlying belief that all healing should be accompanied by 'purging' on some level.

It may be that the root belief centers around a belief...that you are not good enough and must always strive for perfection. It may be a belief...that healing has to be earned and pain and discomfort is the price. Without examining and acknowledging this deeper belief, the cycle will repeat and the healing will not truly anchor itself.

However, if the practitioner on some level also holds the belief that it is 'good' to cleanse and de-tox, and remember, this is a very prevalent view in healing; then this belief may not be challenged in the client. And this is were being able to be objective and willing to release beliefs is so necessary.

Everything about this belief seems self-evident and indeed attractive - a necessary step in healing. But is this belief serving your client or yourself? How would the belief that healing is instantly attained with ease and grace serve the client? And how would changing the belief from I am not good enough and must be cleansed to I am worthy of love and healing change their lives for the better?

It is a transformational experience to realise 'self-evident truths' are only beliefs.

Sending Healing to Disaster Zones

I had a client last week who asked me for a healing in her home town in Chile. Her family were all involved in the earthquake and whilst she knew they were all uninjured, they had lost all their possessions and she was very scared about aftershocks and the shortages of water and food.

I found this a humbling experience, one because of the healing I witnessed being sent into the region by all the prayers from around the world; but also because I wasn't sure what to ask for once I had witnessed Theta Healing being sent to her family.

I thought you might be interested in what I was guided to ask for and also to be inspired to send a more focused healing when you are moved to offer caring and loving thoughts at these times of great trauma.

The first thing I'd like to share is that we never have to go through these events alone. On a psychic level I was aware of hundreds if not thousands of angels and guides helping, guiding and reassuring. At the end of the session, the whole of the area was a mass of iridescent angel wings.

The other point I've been asked to share is that anyone can ask for this focused healing. Trained 'lightworkers' may feel or 'see' the results but anyone's 'prayers' will be effective and are always answered.

Try to be undisturbed for a time and spend a moment or two centering yourself. Hold an image of the place, event and people you wish to ask healing for and then bring that awareness into your heart. (It's just the same as sending love and comfort to your child and loved ones).

• Ask that all politicians be guided to make wise choices and decisions

• Ask for all military personnel who are drafted in are supported in their expertise

• Ask that all aid workers feel the unseen support and are protected in their work

• Ask that everyone be strengthened to remain positive, focused and full of hope, that they do not become disheartened and fearful.

• Ask that all emotions of blame and judgement be lifted and feelings of comradeship and co-operation be instilled.

• Ask that all concerned be guided to act from their highest heart so that looting and profiteering are minimised.

• Ask for world leaders to act wisely and ask that the media behave at the highest good they can.

• Ask for the water supplies to be purified and that the engineers repairing the infrastructure are supported and helped.

• Ask for ...
  

Once this process is begun, you will find yourself moved to pour out love and support and you will find your individual focus. Our compassion and desire to offer help is what connects us all and events and disasters can become times of love in action.
