When we discovered energy healing, reiki and Quantum Touch were all we initially knew about. Quantum Touch immediately resonated with us and served as our launching pad with healing work. We read the book, watched the workshop DVDs, and practiced daily, alone and as a team. The simplicity of this method is refreshing and the effects are undeniable. One essentially just needs to focus all of her awareness on the subject to be healed, and keep it there until her intuition says the process is complete. We both experienced some wonderful healings using that simple formula. My favorite use for the techniques involves getting more physical energy when I don’t get a full night’s rest. During a trip to visit family, I discovered that if I awake and feel tired, all I have to do is perform a self healing with the intent that the energy I receive from Source will energize me. Within 10 minutes I go from groggy to bright-eyed. It still amazes me. Quantum Touch will forever have a place in my “healing toolbox” because of this.

But QT is just one of many ways to understand our relationship to Source, and to affect healings. While we were enjoying Quantum Touch, countless other energy healing modalities appeared and piqued our interests. Whenever one called to us particularly, we would read as much as we could on the subject. The one that kept showing up in my life was Thetahealing. Named and founded by Vianna Stibal, Theta healing is much more than “energy healing“. Instead of attempting to gather, redirect, or otherwise move energy, a Thetahealing practitioner goes directly to Source for information and healings. Now when I first started reading about TH, I was frustrated by this brief description. I wanted an explanation that was concise and understandable without having to first immerse myself in Vianna’s book.  I wondered how the heck I would explain something so woo-woo to friends and prospective clients! The best insight I received is that Theta healing is not a “technique”, but a “way of being”. By entering a deeply meditative state and shifting to theta brainwaves, one is able to personally encounter God/Source/Creator. And that’s where the magic happens. The more I practice, the easier it become to “go up” and be in communication with God. This alone is huge for me, because – like everyone else – I have an ego to contend with. In past meditations I would find myself frequently frustrated by Monkey Mind and it’s chattering: “This isn’t real. You’re imagining it. God wouldn’t talk directly to you. You aren’t a healer”, etc. I think that achieving the theta brainwave state is the key. When I intend to enter theta and be with the Creator, it’s like the ego mind gets turned way down. Each time I enter theta, it just gets easier and I am less distracted by the second guessing of my ego. This is huge. This is how I knew I was on the right path.

After getting a copy of Vianna’s Thetahealing book, I went over it slowly, underlining the parts that grabbed my attention, brought up questions, or seemed to align with other concepts/techniques. (For instance, as I understand it, Thetahealing, Reconnective Healing, and the Oneness Blessing are all quite similar.) I took my time, absorbing each section piecemeal. Unlike the other “energy healing” modalities I encountered, I felt compelled to go slowly and really integrate each new piece of info. After a few weeks of reading the book and sporadically practicing just “going up” rather than commanding a healing, references to Thetahealing popped up everywhere for me. It no longer felt like something I was dabbling in, but an inescapable Soul yearning. I was determined to go further with TH. With a bank account that had really swelled over the last few months (in response to using LoA!), money was no longer a factor in my decision. When I saw a workshop listed on Vianna’s website that was one county north of me and just a few days away, I decided not to let distance be a factor either. (We use a scooter for transportation so long distances can be tricky.) I paid my $500, hopped on a train, and embarked on a 3 day workshop that changed everything for me.

It’s been less than a month since I completed the program, became a certified Thetahealing Practitioner, and made “going up” a part of my daily life. More than ever, I now see TH as a “way of being” rather than a technique or a healing modality. There are a set of techniques that beginners are encouraged to use, such as the visualization that one’s Soul leaves through the crown chakra and is “going up” to work with God on the “7th Plane of Existence“. But at the core, those are just ways for us practitioners to wrap our heads around what’s happening. Something to help the ego suspend its disbelief, because Belief is essential to affect change and to be a “healer”. And as one enters theta more, the understanding of what’s actually happening deepens. The need for those visualizations diminishes. Repeatedly spending conscious time with God has given me beautiful insights into Oneness. That’s what Thetahealing is. Allowing yourself to see the Truth: that everything is connected and we are all Divine authors of our own lives. The more I understand this, the “easier” and more apparent the results are in my Thetahealing work. An “expert” Thetahealing practitioner is like Neo at the end of The Matrix. Because he has the awareness that physical reality is simply an illusion, there is no mental block that claims “hey, physics says you can’t do that!” With that awareness, you could instantly heal an exposed broken bone as easily as you could take a breath.

This is why Thetahealing isn’t just for healing the body, mind, and Soul. In a theta state, the power of manifesting anything is dramatically increased. It can be used to augment the Law of Attraction, because it removes the mental blocks that usually get in the way when you use your conscious mind. (To use Abraham’s terminology, it removes the tree from the path of your car.) At the core of TH’s techniques, the practitioner becomes a detective that identifies those limiting Beliefs that we all hold on some level. Asking Source/intuition and/or using energy testing, you can discover all those sneaky limiting Beliefs that you acquired in this life, from your ancestors, other lifetimes, and at a Soul level. That helps explain why results are often immediate and dramatic. If you had been living your whole life with the subconscious Belief that you “do not deserve good things”, can you imagine how totally different you would be with the new Belief of  “I am worthy of all good things”? Thetahealing can swap out those old Beliefs that do not serve us, and instantly replace them with Beliefs that do. It’s like Jenga: remove the core Belief and all limitations fall away. Same thing with the Feeling work aspect of TH. Conceptually, most of us understand what “unconditional love” is… but do we know what it really feels like? Without having that Feeling as a part of our being, we can not truly understand our God, our purpose, or how to really give/receive love. We’re all missing important Feelings, which is why we experience lives that are less than perfect. At the root of every undesirable situation lies a missing Feeling and/or a Belief that is counterproductive.

One more area that TH addresses has to do with resolving “the 3 Rs” that keep us tethered to the past. As those of you who consciously use the Law of Attraction know, everything is created in the present. Time is an illusion and to create an ideal reality one must recognize that. Being in a theta state means being focused in the NOW. But in our day to day lives, most of us are stuck in the past or fearing the future. With Thetahealing, regrets, resentments, and rejections that have kept us looking to the past can be instantly removed. Using Belief and Feeling work, we are freed from worrying about the future. Together, these techniques eliminate the past-centered thoughts of “if only…” and the future-centered thoughts of  “what if…” This places us squarely back in the NOW where we reclaim our power as conscious co-Creators. That’s where the magic happens!

The final aspect of Theta Healing that I want to mention is that of DNA healing. There is a real focus on the ability to activate DNA, particularly a “Youth and Vitality chromosome” that Vianna was shown while in theta state. No matter where one is on the ascension path, the reactivation of our dormant DNA is essential. (BTW, it’s called “junk DNA” by the traditional scientific community, LOL). This is why so many Indigos, Crystals, and other incarnated Masters gravitate to Theta Healing: they know how important DNA is in the ascension process. When strings of our DNA are reconnected and reactivated, we take a giant leap in our physical and spiritual evolution. Remember X-Men and how new generations just suddenly developed an array of amazing “super powers”? In the years leading to 2012, this is what we’ll be seeing all around us! Just as binaural beats and certain music increase  brain activity, DNA healing and activation produce super-human results that can be measured by EEG. It can heal genetic diseases, reverse aging and create a state of agelessness, and awaken the psychic senses and quantum abilities that are not ruled by “time” and “space”. There are many ways to heal and awaken your DNA, and Theta Healing is an excellent choice. It’s instant and limited only by the client’s Beliefs.

While I still excitedly explore other forms of healing, Theta Healing is definitely my favorite right now. After all, it can heal or create anything. The workshop was excellent for me, but just reading the book can spark much transformative growth. There are no “coincidences” in life, just synchronicities that lead us to the best possible paths. If you have been, or are now, considering studying Theta Healing, go for it! Please share your experiences and thoughts about Theta Healing in the comments so we can keep this dialogue going.

“You don’t even know you don’t know…”

Talk about seed planting. We saw the original What the Bleep movie in theatres back in the Autumn of 2004. Everything presented was new to us and we struggled to piece things together. We walked out glad we saw it, but confused as to why it was raved about and recommended to us as such an “amazing, life changing” movie. We knew nothing at the time about quantum reality so we weren’t even sure if it was sci-fi, documentary, or parts of both! It was a fun ride, though.

Some of the seeds planted during our first viewing of the movie only started to sprout several years later. When The Secret got huge, we remembered how What the Bleep talked about “creating your own reality”. When affecting things at a distance – energy healing, Qi pushing/pulling, etc. – presented itself in our lives, we recalled something in the movie about quantum physics being able to explain those otherwise unexplainable concepts. When channeled information finally became a part of our framework for understanding the universe, we remembered JZ Knight/Ramtha’s existential contributions in the movie with interest instead of just a giggle.

When my holistic chiropractor introduced me to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that “releases emotion stored in the body”, the cartoon scenes of the colorful dancing blobs began to materialize in my mind’s eye (see image at right). When we learned that the true quality of water is highly dependent on it’s cellular memory – what happened to that water before it got to us – we recalled with amazement the beautiful crystal patterns of Dr. Emoto’s “loved” water shown in the movie. When “ascension into the 5th dimension” became a phrase we were hearing everywhere, I tried so hard to recall what Bleep mentioned about other dimensions. (Note: Down the Rabbit Hole includes a final cartoon that explains 5D as best as anything can right now. So helpful!)

So even though our first viewing felt like it went way over our heads – and it did – it served as a launchpad for many great future realizations. Life is like that

To continue this chain of beautiful synchronicities, in early 2008 I was at the library and saw a DVD that sounded intriguing. Dr. Joe Dispensa’s “Mastering the art of Observation“: a 60 minute presentation that proposed that “becoming a skilled observer may empower us to exercise a greater degree of mind over matter”.  I remembered Dr. Dispensa from What the Bleep as the guy who said he creates his reality every morning. I scooped that DVD up so freaking fast and we watched it that night. Production value aside (that aspect is MST3K worthy), the scientific explanation of mind over matter was amazing and it left us hungry for elaboration and practical ways to apply it. That’s when we found out that a new version of What the Bleep had been released and that it contained hours of extra footage. Score!

Questions like who am I, where did I come from, what should I be doing, why am I here, where am I going, etc. are the biggest questions we will ever have. What the Bleep Down the Rabbit Hole helped give us some insight on them. But better than that, it raised even more questions! (Cuz you know you’re on the right trail when you find more questions than answers.) I might even say that the movie helped us better form those questions and to begin to see how they are all inter-related. Nothing is random, nothing is outside the scope of anything else. Truly, All is One. You’re asked in the beginning of the movie “how much about your true nature do you really want to know”? Well, it came at a time in our lives when we were ready to throw ourselves head first down that rabbit hole, and we’re so thankful we did…

Where this movie really excelled for us is it’s accessibility. Sean’s and my mind work similarly: very logical and analytical, yet appreciating the right brain stimulation of a fun “how to”. We both latched onto the format of having quite detailed interviews being interspersed with scenes of “drama” that gave examples of how the concepts looked in real life. The visualizations it provides for concepts that otherwise felt impossible to understand were also invaluable! The colorful blobs of emotion really brought the point home about the chemical dependency we all exist in with respect to our emotional states. The Dr. Quantum in Flatland cartoon at the end was invaluable for helping us wrap our head around 5D. We know what height, width, depth, and time are like, but what will the 5th dimension look like? (Answer: we don’t know. We can’t even imagine yet, but it’s going to be amazing.)

If you haven’t seen Down the Rabbit Hole yet, you can get an affordable copy from Amazon, eBay, or Half.com. Your local library might even have a copy! Ours didn’t so we bought a new copy and are donating it after we watch it a couple more times. Gotta get the info out there…
