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.

First of all, I'm an avid follower of healing modalities such as Thetahealing ever since I was made aware of it last year because of a friend. I've studied a lot of healing modalities, but I personally took interest on Theta Healing. Theta Healing's concept on digging through patient's subconscious to find out which range of thought is contributing to his or her illness is really astounding. Belief is a firm factor in Theta Healing. It dictates the way we want to live our life, and how we see ourselves as an individual. Henry Ford has a saying that if you believe you can do it, you're right, and if you believe that you can't, then you're right again.
Thetahealing is really helpful in boosting positive energies, and taking back the courage lost. That's why there many people who wants to learn more about Theta Healing.
