Energy Healing Techniques to Release Stress – The Release Technique

As I discussed in the Causes of Illness post, stress is a significant cause of illness.  I have used many energy healing therapies and tools to clear stress and trauma, including The Healing Codes, EFT, Theta Healing, META-Medicine and The Release Technique 1.  Knowing what I know now, I would have started with The Release Technique.  The reason I like it so much is it clears stress and trauma and it trains you to change the energy of your thoughts which increases your personal vibrational frequency.  When you are done with a releasing session, you feel lighter and more at peace like you have just meditated for a half hour.  It combines the benefits of three of the four components of a healing strategy, Thoughts, Release and Spirit.

I have been doing the energy healing to clear/release negativite emotions for years and I have noticed improvement both physically and emotionally.  Even though I continue to believe that I will heal completely and strive to maintain a positive attitude, because of the perceived reality of my physical limitations, I sometimes would feel frustrated, sad and lonely.  So, I was clearing old emotions but I was adding new ones of lack and limitation as I was beating myself up and disapproving of myself.  The Release Technique not only helps you release old negative emotions by doing exercises, but it also teaches you how to immediately release emotions as they come up.  It teaches us that approval, love, control, safety and security comes from within.  Depending on how much “stuff” you have it can be a time consuming process.  Apparently, I did not learn how to release negative emotions I just buried them and kept myself so busy I didn’t hear my emotional pain.  At the time of writing this, I have finished four courses and released daily.    Emotionally I am so much lighter and happier than I have ever been in my life, but I still have more to release.  I now have the training and skill to know how to release so I will continue to do it.  It is not a quick fix, but I learned things I had not heard anywhere else.  The courses have workbooks with lots of different exercises depending on the course subject.  There are also telecourses and week long live courses.

It brings in the idea of  The Law of Attraction when we realize that when we “Want” something, it means that we are lacking that thing.  When we send that want/lack message we will attract more lack of that thing and that has a lower vibrational frequency.  The Release Technique focuses on letting go of emotions attached to the lower vibration feelings and want or lack.  We learned that real “Releasing” happens when you are in higher vibration feelings, so it trains you to stay in those high vibration feelings.  The things that make your thoughts more or less powerful are the emotions behind them.  So, removing emotions for lower vibration thoughts and adding emotions to higher vibrations thoughts is a win win.

One of the keystones to the Release Technique, is the six steps.  The first step is “You must want imperturbability more than you want approval, control and security.” 1  Imperturbable is unable to be upset or excited, calm.  This is brilliant because it takes the want or lack away from your goal.  So, you release on all things that upset or excite you thereby changing the emotions, thoughts and vibration.  Lester Levenson, who developed the method, released all his non-loving thoughts and healed himself from terminal illness.  His focus was not on wanting to be healed, but once he released the non-loving feelings, all areas of his life healed.

As I said earlier, the Release Technique works on three of the four components of a healing strategy, thoughts, releasing and spirit.  There are people who believe that increasing your vibrational frequency is one of the most important things in transformation and healing and the Release Technique helps dramatically.  Your thoughts are very important in changing your personal vibration, but it’s only one factor.  I also use other energy healing tools, music and meditations to increasing my frequency and I am starting to believe that raising your frequency is more, or at least, as important as clearing.  When you have a high vibration, I believe negative feelings and emotions dissolve.  See My Favorites tab for other tools to increase your frequency.

Energy Healing Techniques to Release Stress – META-Medicine (Part 3)

As I discussed in the Causes of Illness post, stress is a significant cause of illness.  Some believe 75% – 90% of illnesses are because of stress, or, at the least, stress contributed to the illness.  I discussed the energy healing therapies EFT and Theta Healing in Part 2.  I will go into META-Medicine now.

I discovered META-Medicine when listening to the Living Energy Secrets teleseminar with Debra Thompson.  For a while I was listening to many teleseminars, which is a useful way to learn information.  I learned about EFT, META-Medicine, Theta Healing and Quantum Touch from teleseminars and these energy healing tools have made all the difference in my healing.

META-Medicine is NOT a therapy but a system that allows a trained practitioner to find the underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to a person’s disease, pain or illness. It works by finding a specific stressful event that might be the cause of certain diseases. A META-Medicine Practitioner works back from a medical diagnosis and through various means, they can determine what type of stressful event or trauma could have created the problem.

The META-Medicine practitioner, once they factor in the how long the problem has been around, is further able to narrow the search down to a specific event, such as a traumatic argument with a partner, the shock of losing a loved one unexpectedly or an attack, such as being mugged.  Once this trauma has been identified, it can be cleared using any energy healing method, such as Quantum Touch, EFT, and NLP.

Once the traumatic events have been cleared, the person then works with their META-Medicine practitioner in an integrated way to complete their healing. This means addressing the physical symptoms with their Medical Doctor and working with other therapies to change their mind, body, spirit, socials and environmental aspects that could also be inhibiting them healing themselves.

The Practitioners and Health Coaches are skilled with META-Medicine as well as many different energy healing techniques that helps you release or clear your issues, so I recommend working with one.  Once I learned what issues (event or trauma) I needed to clear, I used EFT and Theta Healing and they were helpful.

There are many energy healing techniques and energy healing therapies and I only mentioned a few.  As I said before, releasing and clearing the events and energies that cause my body stress was the thing that had the most impact and allowed my body to heal.  After learning and using all these techniques I have seen physical improvement and I am happier and more confident now than I have ever been, but I still had anger, frustration and wasn’t handling stress well at all.  I learned about The Release Technique and began doing The Abundance Course.  This course teaches you how to release stress and emotional blocks developed over your lifetime, but it also teaches you how to release every day, all day so you release it immediately.  I will discuss my experience with The Release Technique in Part 4 of this series.

It is important to remember that a good healing strategy addresses all four components, in addition to releasing or clearing stress and trauma you need to think and feel thoughts that are in alignment with your goals, support your physical vitality and support your emotional vitality.

The Power of Your Thoughts and Energy Healing – Action Steps (Part 3)

As I discussed in Part 1 and Part 2 of The Power of Your Thoughts of Healing, your thoughts not only form what comes into your life (the law of attraction), but they also create energy that is either beneficial or harmful to your body.  When you combine the two, your thoughts are incredibly important to your health.  I am not saying that thinking empowering thoughts will instantly heal you, but thinking about illness and death could have a negative effect on your health.  I believe that learning to change your thoughts to empowering, positive ones that support your goals can help you heal, and is therefor an important method of energy healing.

After hearing the diagnosis of Lou Gehrig’s disease or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), I looked into what supplements could help support my body.  I did not do research on what would happen as the disease progressed and didn’t think about dying.  I continued to work, to work out, cook and to ride my horse.  Riding my horse made me so happy it filled me with joy.  Obviously, my body wasn’t working properly so riding had its challenges, but I did what I could.  I also loved cooking and enjoyed working, they gave me a sense of accomplishment.  During the first few years the progression of the disease was slow.

Things got more challenging when the life I had known fell apart because of marital problems, divorce and financial worries.  At that point, my condition got much worse because of stress of the negativity of my thoughts.  It took years of research, learning about energy healing and healing work to turn it around and I started seeing physical improvement.  As I said in Part 2, when things in your life are not going the way you want, it can be difficult to keep an optimistic viewpoint and think empowering thoughts.  It does require practice and being around people who support you and your hopes and goals.

In addition to paying attention to your thoughts, look around you, your physical reality shows you what you are thinking.  I am sure than many people won’t like to hear that they created the life they are living, and maybe they didn’t.  But, I can now see that my thoughts created an environment that was very stressful and how that decreased my body’s vitality.  My body was so stressed that it did not function correctly and I got physically ill.  I will discuss the impact of stress and trauma and method of identifying and clearing them in later posts.

Action Steps to Changing your Thoughts

  1. Decide what you want, it could be health, a new job or an improved relationship;
  2. Focus on how you would feel emotionally when you achieve your goal; or
  3. If you don’t have a specific goal, focus on anything positive you can find in your situation that makes you feel good;
  4. Monitor your thoughts; if you are feeling angry, sad or hopeless, then you are not thinking thoughts that will help you.  Learn to release the emotion behind those thoughts. Change to the positive thoughts that make you feel good;
  5. Look at your life and physical reality; if your life is not what you want it to be, then you need to change your thoughts.
  6. Keep reading or listening to anything that makes you feel good or inspires you.  See list below for the things I found helpful on My Favorites tab.
  7. When something happens that causes emotional pain, take a few minutes to allow yourself to feel the pain and then release it.

I truly believe that I will heal completely; I visualize what I will look when I am healed and how that will make me feel.  I do not focus on the disease or the worst case scenario.  When something happens that is upsetting or makes me sad, I let myself feel it and then use one of the releasing/clearing techniques that I know.  Then I find something uplifting or inspirational so that I feel good.  Remember what Esther and Jerry Hicks say.

“Choose Better-Feeling Thoughts”1

I hope that I have explained just how important it is to think empowering thoughts that are in alignment with your goals, are positive and have a high vibrational frequency.  Changing your thoughts is a form of energy healing because it impacts the energy in your body and that is either beneficial or harmful.  I have a lists in speakers and books that I find informative and inspirational in My Favorites Tab.  Now I will discuss the causes of illness and how to clear the stress and trauma that impacts our health and remove blocks and limiting beliefs.

Love and Light,

Dawn

The Power of Your Thoughts and Energy Healing – The Frequency of Thoughts (Part 2)

As I discussed in Part 1 of The Power of Your Thoughts and Energy Healing, your thoughts not only form what comes into your life, the law of attraction, but they also create energy that is either beneficial or harmful.  In this post, I want to discuss the second way that our thoughts influence our health; it is that they contain energy.  Everything contains energy and energy vibrates at varying rates.  So, at any given point, we have a certain vibrational frequency which is influenced by what we think, what we eat and our environment.  Positive thoughts are believed to have a higher vibrational frequency and are more beneficial than negative thoughts.  So learning to change from negative thoughts and emotions is a form of energy healing,

Dr. David R. Hawkins performed a study to map the levels of consciousness which is documented in his book Power vs. Force.  He used applied kinesiology (muscle testing) to determine the level of consciousness of thousands of test subjects holding certain thoughts.  He rates the level of 1 is just being alive and 1000 as being enlightened.  As he discusses in the book he had subjects hold the thought of love and then tested them at various numbers and determined love had a level of 500.  According to Dr. Hawkins, “all levels below 200 are destructive of life in both the individual and society at large; all levels above 200 are constructive expressions of power.” 1  So according to this work, holding emotions such as humiliation, blame, despair, regret, anxiety, craving, hate or scorn are destructive to your life as they are below the level of 200.

The way to tell the vibrational frequency of a thought is to evaluate how you feel when you are thinking the thought.  In Ask and it is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, they say that our emotions are like a gauge for the vibrational frequency of your thoughts.  One of my favorite things comes from their work; throughout their writing and DVDs they tell us to “choose better-feeling thoughts”2.  If a thought feels good it’s beneficial and if it feels bad it’s harmful.  It is just like any other skill it takes time to learn how to focus on positive things and not lack and limitations, so practice and you will get stronger.

Another one of my favorite speakers is Dr. Sue Morter; she is a chiropractor, has a healing center and conducts seminars all over the world.  I recommend attending her seminars, buying her DVDs or subscribing to her Monthly Message.  In her April 2012 Monthly Message audio recording, she said “What you think about is more important than what you eat and what you eat is huge”3.  If you go to the Morter Institute website you can see how much importance she places on nutrition and diet, so I believe this statement is meaningful.  She also uses an energy healing technique called BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) which I am sure is very good.

When I first started learning about the law of attraction I thought it was bad to think about or feel thoughts that were negative because I thought it would bring negative things.  But the problem is, just because you attempt to replace your negative thoughts with positive ones, doesn’t make the negative ones disappear.  Those negative thoughts just stay below the surface until something causes them to reappear.  The first time I remember hearing someone say that you should go into your feelings and really let yourself feel them was from Dr. Sue Morter.  I went a seminar and had a treatment and she told me that I had a lot of anger and I should let myself feel it and I remember being surprised.  I am sure some else has made a similar statement, but I never really remember hearing it.  So, first feel, process and release the negative thoughts and then find positive ones to replace them.  (I just started an energy healing method called “The Release Technique” that helps you learn to release negative emotions, so stay tuned I will write about it when I am done.)

Another very important thing to mention on the topic is the expression of Gratitude.  In addition to the feeling of gratitude having a high vibrational frequency, when you feel grateful it also will bring more things for you be feel grateful.  I don’t think I have ever heard someone discuss these topics and not discuss the importance of gratitude.

Thinking empowering thoughts that are positive and have a high vibrational frequency and are in alignment with your goal is just one of the aspects of my healing strategy, I also do several other energy healing techniques, take supplements and listen to and read things that inspire me.  It is all helping me heal.

Love and Light,

Dawn

The Power of your Thoughts and Energy Healing – Law of Attraction (Part 1)

If you read my first blog you will know that I believe a healing strategy should address the four issues related to Thoughts, Releasing stress, Body and Spirit.  In this series, I want to discuss how our thoughts affect illness and healing and specifically and how you can use your thoughts to help your body heal.  I absolutely believe that the reason that I am still alive and now healing has everything to do with my thoughts and what I have learned in the last five years.  I also know my thoughts are the reason that I got sick and why it took so long for me to heal.  Your thoughts not only form what comes into your life, the law of attraction, but they also create energy that is either beneficial or harmful.  I believe that changing what you think about is a method of energy healing because it can change the energy around you and inside you.  In this blog I want to discuss the first way that our thoughts influence our health, through the law of attraction.

I am sure most people in the world have heard of the concepts based on the Law of Attraction even if it they don’t know it by that name.  Sayings such as “like attracts like”, “change the way you think about thinks and the things you look at change” and “ask and it is given” demonstrate that the ideas behind this law have been around us our whole life.  The thoughts that you have when combined with emotion and focus, attract or bring the things you think about into your life.  The amount of emotion you put behind the thoughts give them power.

“A man is but the product of his thoughts
what he thinks, he becomes.”

— Mahatma Gandhi:was a political and spiritual leader of India 2

Someone might be thinking that they have achieved great success and have never heard of the Law of Attraction and that may be true.  Then ask them how they achieved their success and I will bet that identifying what they want, knowing with certainty that they will achieved it and focused attention will be among the things they list as reasons for their success.  These are all things that make the law work.  Of course, action is also required, but action alone won’t get you where you want to go.  It’s not about wishing, thinking positive unrealistic thoughts or repeating affirmations, although these do make funny movies, TV commercials and YouTube videos.  It is about creation through focused attention backed with emotion.

One of my favorite speakers on this topic is Dr. Joe Vitale who has many books and audio recordings among the ones that I recommend are “The Attractor Factor” and “The Abundance Paradigm”.  His books focus around attracting money, but the principles can be applied to health or anything else.  He found a book that was out of print called “At Your Command” by Neville Goddard and he reprinted it as an eBook.  I enjoyed reading the book and found many inspirational things in it.  One of my favorite quotes is:

To dissolve a problem that now

seems so real to you, all that you

do is remove your attention from it”1

I believe this statement is critically important, of course you can’t live in denial, but you shouldn’t focus your attention on having an “incurable” illness or on dying.  I keep hearing that people who are diagnosed with ALS are expected to live 3 to 5 years.  I am living proof that that isn’t necessarily true as I have lived well past that and I am now healing.  I have always tried to focus on finding things that would help my body heal, some helped and some didn’t, but I never gave up.  I did not have my attention on dying and I never believed I would die from ALS, but not having my attention on the physical limitations proved challenging and I am still improving in this area.  See My Favorites page for a list of resources on this topic.

Thinking empowering thoughts that are in alignment with your goal is just one of the aspects of my healing strategy, I also do several energy healing techniques, take supplements and listen to and read things that inspire me.  It is all helping me heal.

 

Love and Light,

Dawn
