I decided that since I was interested in learning how to do Theta Healings, it would be a good idea to experience one.  I called Brent Phillips and made an appointment.  He can do distance healing, but I chose to see him in person because I wasn’t sure about how to do the muscle testing step at home.

On June 30 about 12:30 p.m., I showed up for my appointment.  Since I had already read both of Vianna‘s books (Go Up And Seek God and Go Up and Work With God; now combined in Theta Healing: Introducing an Extraordinary Energy Healing Modality), I didn’t need much of an introduction to what we would be doing.  Brent led me to a table where we would be doing the healings.  He went and got a cup of water for me.  Apparently, the muscle testing works best when one is well hydrated.

Before we could continue, we had to figure out which muscle testing method we would use to test yes/no questions.  Brent did not want to use the method in which the arm is held out to the side and pushed down because he said it would be too tiring over the course of an hour.  We checked out the standing method.  In this method, the subject stands up straight.  When a yes/no question is asked the subject will automatically lean forward for yes or lean backward for no.  It didn’t seem this would work out for me because I tend to lean back a little in my standing pose anyway.  It wasn’t comfortable for me to stand in the position that Brent said was straight.  I asked Brent about using a pendulum.  He said that this could work and that he had pendulums for just this purpose.  He got out a wooden pendulum on a string for me to use.  We tested yes and no, and it appeared that it was going to work out well for me.

At this point, I should briefly mention how Theta Healing works.  When doing a healing in person, the healer and the patient will sit facing each other.  Often the healer will ask the patient to put his hands into the healer’s hands.  This is how Vianna teaches it, anyway.  Brent prefers to sit off center and hold only one hand.  The healer moves his consciousness above himself 3, 6, or 67 feet.  He then invokes God and commands a healing.  This moves the healer into theta brain waves.  This is the brain state in which healing works best.  The patient need only sit there.  In the next step, the healer moves his consciousness into the patient and works with the part of the body that needs healing.  When the healing is done, the healer removes his consciousness from the patient and imagines washing himself off.  Then he returns to his own body.

So Brent and I were sitting at the table.  He next did a quick scan of me using the method I just outlined.  He then asked me what I wanted to work on.  Since my spouse had recently complained that I snored, I chose to work on insomnia and snoring.

The first steps of the healing seemed almost psychological.  Brent asked me what it was that insomnia did for me.  We eventually discovered that I had been robbed and murdered in my sleep in past lives.  The pendulum confirmed this.  Apparently I didn’t want to sleep because I didn’t want this to happen again!  Brent asked for my permission to clear this thought.  He then did the Theta Healing process to clear the thought.  When the thought was tested again with the pendulum, it was cleared.  The snoring was likewise part of this same dynamic.

Brent asked me if I had something else I wanted to work on.  I decided on weight issues since that is something I am working on in one of my groups.  We cleared a couple issues with respect to that.  Apparently I had the thought embedded in me that greater weight meant greater power.  There was also an issue of not wanting the extra attention from men that being slim tends to bring on.  Both of these issues were cleared, and no other issues were detected.

We had just a little time left in the session.  I mentioned allergies.  Brent seemed to want to work on food allergies.  Actually, I was more concerned about airborne allergies since I’d had a pretty rough time of it in Copenhagen while on vacation and still had a touch of a cough from it the day of the appointment.  But I did have known food allergy problems, so we went ahead and worked on this.

At the end of the session, Brent had me put a hand in his and did a final scan, working on the physical issues related to what we had worked on.  I actually felt something happening during this process.  I felt sensations move down from my head and into my bowels.  The sensations continued in the bowels for a few moments and then moved up to my throat and head.  And then it was done.  Brent asked me if I had felt anything.  I told him I had and described as best I could what I felt.  He said that was the order he had worked on me, so that pretty well confirmed to me that what I had felt was real.

Since the session, I have not snored.  If I have had difficulty sleeping, there was a cause such as a pain or some other thing that had to be dealt with.  I was not just laying awake all night as I’d often done before.  Since the healing, my eating has been more controlled.  It’s difficult to say whether I’ve had any help with the food allergies since I don’t really notice those types of difficulties much these days anyway.  All in all, I would say that the session has been a success.

aurasI recently went on vacation and managed to study a bit on airplanes and during down time.  I took a few books with me.  Perhaps the one that got my best attention was Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field by Barbara Brennan.  I especially enjoyed the sections on how to see the universal energy field and auras.  I was in an airplane when I read the part about orgone and how to see it in the sky.  I looked out the window and there it was, moving energetically about in a dizzying dance.  I know I’ve seen it before, but I always thought it was something in my tears.  Thinking about it, there was no way anything in my tears could have been moving as fast as what I saw.

I then read about the human aura.  She described the various layers of the aura and their function.  I looked up at the other passengers in the airplane.  Again I found myself able to see.  This time I saw a faint glow around the heads of the other passengers usually about an inch or two wide.  In most cases it was white or faintly blue, but I also noticed a bit of pink around one woman.

I’ve seen auras before, but it was several years ago.  I was making the effort then, having heard of them and being curious.  I looked in a mirror and saw a thin magenta aura around me.  In a bookstore, I saw a woman with a beautiful lemon yellow aura.  And once while driving, I saw a man and a boy walking on the sidewalk.  Around the boy, I saw a brilliant white aura. It startled me because I wasn’t expecting it.  Since that time until reading the book, I hadn’t seen any auras.  Fear must have shut down the ability during that time.  Now I am again seeing the lower layers of the glow.  I’m so thrilled!

kinestheticbodyI’ve been playing Journey to Wild Divine and having a great time at it.  This game uses biofeedback as part of its control system.  One of the exercises within the game is done without the sensors, but it seems to have its own feedback.

The exercise starts out simply enough.  The player is asked to raise and then lower his arm a few times, paying attention to the sensations of the movement.  Then it starts getting interesting: the player is asked to raise and lower his “kinesthetic” arm, recreating the sensations of moving the physical arm.  (What the game called “kinesthetic,” I would call “etheric” or “astral.”)  So I moved my “kinesthetic” arm and was able to have some sensation of doing so.  The player is then asked to do the same with the other arm.  When that is done, to do the same with both arms.  Then the player is told to raise the physical arms while leaving the “kinesthetic” arms by one’s side.  Then the player is told to move the physical arms down while raising the “kinesthetic” arms and to continue moving the arms in opposition like this.  The game’s instructor says that one might feel the arms crossing each other as they move.  I must say, I was rather excited to discover that I did indeed feel a sense of increased electricity as the arms crossed paths.

While the game does not expressly say so, I would think that moving the “kinesthetic” body independently of the physical body like this is the beginning of an out-of-body experience, astral projection, or remote viewing.

reikiI am now qualified to be a Reiki practitioner.  Imagine that.  Reiki is a healing methodology that works with the energy fields of the body.  If you want to get an idea of what I’m talking about, try this:

Hold your hands in front of you about 3 feet apart.  Now slowly bring them together.  Pay attention to the sensations in your hands.  As they get closer together, before they actually touch, you may feel something akin to electricity in the palms of your hands.  This energy that you feel is the type of energy that a Reiki practioner works with.  The Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for directing energy into a recipient and also for removing negative energy.  All of this can be done without ever touching the recipient and may even be done at a distance.  I am told that Reiki cannot be used to harm but only heal.
