How did you develop Lifonics?
Many of the concepts and most of the processes in Lifonics came to me while I was in a deep meditative state. Due to the over 30 healing and personal growth modalities I had previously trained in, I was already very attuned to fundamental universal energies and my intuitive abilities were highly developed. So when I started getting information about this healing technique, I was very open to it, wrote it down, and began working with it. We all hear the voice of God/the All in ways that we can understand, so many of the processes came through in relationship to other healing and coaching modalities I was already familiar with.

Probably the biggest outside influence on my way of being and working with energy is Evolutionary Technique, a truly amazing way of aligning with and co-creating the largest, most evolutionary energies currently on the planet. (See Soleira Green’s books and courses at www.newvisionaries.net and www.evolutionarycourses.com)

Another major influence was ThetaHealing, a compilation of many healing techniques that emphasizes the importance of our letting go of limiting subconscious beliefs and feelings, then replacing them with liberating, empowering beliefs and feelings. Both of these elements have found another home in Lifonics.

How is Lifonics similar to and different from other personal growth techniques?
Like many healing and life coaching modalities, the aim of Lifonics is to uplift the individual and the whole planet to the most vibrant, loving, joyful, and fulfilling ways of living, working, and playing possible.

Unlike most other modalities, the approach in Lifonics is to give participants a visceral experience of being the massive magnificent mega being that they truly are and to teach them energetically how to live their daily lives, conduct their businesses, heal, create, and play from this wider context of experiencing and from the higher paradigms it implies in all areas.

Lifonics is also different because it stresses the importance of practical, concrete applications of its techniques in all areas, including business, which is often excluded from other systems of healing and self-help. Lifonics sees all of life as one integrated whole that must be addressed as such.

Also, the emphasis in Lifonics is on total liberation—of the individual, of humanity, and of the cosmos. Lifonics is about empowering you as the incredibly powerful, creative, and divine being you truly are as opposed to setting up any hierarchy or guru-like atmosphere that is sadly so prevalent in many other spiritual modalities.

What can Lifonics do for me concretely?
Lifonics can enable you to “overhaul” your entire conscious and subconscious mind, your body, and your relationships so that you are fully empowered to live every day in optimal physical health, happiness, clarity, and harmony with yourself and with all those around you.

With the tools of Lifonics, you can make all of your relationships excellent, develop all of your gifts and talents, create and maintain vibrant physical, mental, and emotional health, achieve a lasting state of youthfulness, create and maintain thriving businesses, open the floodgates to abundance and prosperity in all areas of your life, develop your intuitive skills to an extremely high level, and achieve enlightenment.

Nothing is beyond your grasp when you consciously become the mega being you truly are!

I have a disease and I would to know if with Lifonics the healing is instantaneous.

Whatever healing you receive is instantaneous or nearly so, but the healing may not be exactly what you expect or ask for. A healing always takes place, but it may not be what you aimed for if your perspective isn’t large enough or your beliefs and feelings aren’t expanded enough yet for that issue to transform. Stay alert to what you actually feel during a session and subsequently notice changing for you. Belief and feeling work is a significant part of Lifonics because often relevant traumas, beliefs, and feelings must be transformed before physical conditions heal. We find that in physical disease cases there are certain traumas, beliefs, and feelings present that attracted the malady in the first place and which hold it in place OR which were attracted once the malady presented itself from outside physical (environmental) causes. In either case, when those are transformed, the physical healing can take place.

I would like to know if there is a good book giving instructions on how to practice. As I understand it, your courses are hands-on. But I am in the Middle East and cannot attend courses in the US.

My book, Reinvent Yourself: Empower and Transform Through Lifonics®,is not yet published, but when it is, you will be able to order it from my website, www.Lifonics.com This book will conceptually give you some basic instructions for Lifonics, but you’ll need to commit to a lot of practice to master the processes for yourself. In the meantime, I would encourage you to travel if at all possible to a location where you can take training in person or to take my correspondence or webinar classes, which you can do from anywhere in the world. The correspondence courses provide you with a downloadable manual and course DVDs and CDs, but you need to find your own partners to practice with and you have to take a long phone or Skype exam with me (charged at my regular hourly rate) to get certification. The webinar courses cost more, but you get to experience the class live via the internet, are assigned partners to practice with, and you don’t have to pay for a private exam to get certified. If after taking all or most of the Lifonics courses, you wish to become a teacher, you must arrange to travel to the US where all teacher trainings are held in person.

I need more money. It seems like just getting by is a struggle anymore. Can Lifonics do anything for me?

Yes. Lifonics has found that there are a surprisingly large number of self-sabotaging beliefs that most of us hold around money! If you know how to muscle test yourself, see if your subconscious believes, for example, any of the following: that money is evil, money corrupts, it’s wrong to have money when others have so little, you have to be poor to be close to God, you don’t deserve to be rich, rich people are greedy or otherwise unethical, people will want you for your money if you have plenty, they won’t love you for yourself, it is more enlightened to be poor, you will lose all your money if you have a lot, etc. Everyone who has trouble making or keeping money has some or many of these and other similar beliefs. Although you transform many of these beliefs in Basic Lifonics, there is also a Lifonics class called True Wealth: Bringing Abundance and Prosperity into Your Life in which you learn specifically how to remove all roadblocks to prosperity and to embrace empowering beliefs that bring wealth to you. I’ve been amazed to see how quickly people draw money into their lives after they take this course (Basic Lifonics is a prerequisite for it)!

Can Lifonics help me lose weight? I’ve been eating less and exercising more, but I can’t seem to get these last darn 30 pounds off! I don’t know what else to do!

Yes, changing some weight-related limiting beliefs and feelings will definitely help you lose weight! Lifonics has found that weight problems are always tied to deep beliefs and former experiences that are still imprinted upon your psyche—often about your worthiness, your body image, and your lovability—that need to be transformed and healed. With the Lifonics processes of identifying subconscious beliefs, transforming them, downloading new feelings and teachings, healing physical blocks (like the speed of your metabolism), and manifesting anything you wish, you will be able to attain your ideal weight while at the same time finding a new joy in and acceptance of your body. These issues are addressed more in depth in the Lifonics course Getting in Touch with Your Body, Transcending Time, and Embracing Youth (Basic Lifonics is a prerequisite for it).

I have problems getting it up, and I hate taking drugs for it. What should I do?

I assume you mean, how can Lifonics help? Sexual dysfunction is a big deal in our modern society, and all the pressure that’s put on us to perform doesn’t help. However, Lifonics has processes that can definitely help both the physical and the emotional aspects of this issue. With this help, you can transform any negative beliefs and feelings about yourself and your abilities that are getting in the way of your full expression as a sexual being into empowering positive beliefs and feelings. Also, you and your Lifonics practitioner can actually look inside your body and see what is going on with your hormones and your health in general. There are then processes you can use to correct any imbalances and blockages you may have, so that you can be your happiest and more vibrant both, sexually and in general. If indicated, your practitioner may also recommend physical remedies that will be appropriate for you.

I feel like I could really get somewhere in life if I had more confidence in myself. But I’ve failed at a lot of things, so it’s hard. Also, when I was growing up I felt like I was on the outside. I never fit in with the popular kids, so maybe that‘s why I don’t have much self-confidence. I’ve read a lot self-help books, but they haven’t really helped.

Building self-confidence is easy with Lifonics because the problem is your fundamental beliefs and feelings about yourself (and the underlying traumas that led to these): limiting conscious and especially subconscious beliefs and feelings that may have once served you, even protected you in some way, but now are outdated and harmful. The truth is, every one of us is a magnificent and unique being filled with limitless worth and dazzling possibilities. But most of the time, it is hard for us to experience, or even to conceive, that because of the ongoing subtle and not so subtle programming we get from society. For example, our consumer culture is based on the idea that we are not enough, that we lack certain products in order to make us as good, happy, and successful as we would like to be. We are constantly bombarded with this message through advertising, and it is difficult to counter it unless you have at your disposal the kind of powerful tools you get from Lifonics. Also, the reason why many self-help books don’t help long term is, though you can consciously recognize that their principles and encouragements are true, just embracing them consciously does not change your subconscious. Your subconscious is at least 10 times more powerful than your conscious mind, so guess who wins in guiding your life! Since we attract into our lives the same vibration we put out into the world, a lack of self-confidence tends to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. But, all this can be changed when you use Lifonics to transform any negative beliefs and feelings you have about yourself—as well as transform any trauma, upset, or other damage from your earlier experiences—into positive, empowering beliefs and feelings. In my own case, since I’ve been doing Lifonics, I know that I can do anything and that everything flows into my life with grace and ease. And so it does. My life is moving forward in exactly the way I desire and at an exciting pace that also brings me many good things that before were beyond my wildest imaginings. This is a wonderful feeling that you can experience too!
  
I worked at the same job for over twenty years and now they laid me off. I don’t know where to go from here. I’m still young enough that I want to start a new career, but I don’t know what it should be or how to build it right so that this won’t ever happen again. Help!

I’m sorry that you’ve been laid off! I know this can be at best disconcerting and at worst traumatizing. However, many of us fall into a career or a career situation that is not the best for us, and this may have happened to you. So use this time as an opportunity to attract into your life something better. Ask yourself: How does it get better than this? What else is possible? Lifonics is a fabulous resource for getting really clear about where your passion lies and empowering you to follow it and to create whatever career will be most fulfilling for you. There is a whole Lifonics course devoted to this called Finding Your Passion & Life Purpose and Jumpstarting Your Business & Career. One aspect of this is using various processes to transform whatever beliefs and feelings you may have around working, your abilities, your worthiness, etc. that may be sabotaging your progress without your being aware of it. When you have transformed these (generally mostly subconscious) beliefs and feelings into new empowering beliefs and feelings, this will enable you to find the career of your dreams and to follow through however necessary to make this a reality. Lifonics also enables you to transform any trauma or other damage from past career choices and experiences that may be holding you back in any way. And perhaps even more significantly, the above class (or private work with a Lifonics practitioner around this issue) enables you to tune into what your life purpose is and the highest and best way for it to be manifested in a job and whole career. When you know this, then you have a clear vision and goal toward which you can orient all of your business decisions and actions.
  
My love life is a mess. I want to find my Soul Mate, but I keep attracting the wrong guys. And I get involved even when I know I shouldn’t. I've tried so many different healings, but nothing’s worked permanently. Can your technique help?

Lifonics can help you in several ways. First, there are reasons why you keep attracting guys you really don’t want, and Lifonics can identify and melt away those reasons, along with transforming any beliefs and feelings you may have that are impeding your love life. If you know how to muscle test yourself, check, for example, whether your subconscious holds the following empowering beliefs: I am worthy of infinite love, I know what it feels like to love and be loved completely, the universe (and others) loves me unconditionally, I have a great love life, I love and accept myself exactly as I am, I know what it feels like to love and accept others while still protecting myself, etc. If you are missing any of these, you need to embrace them in the process of transforming their negations and similar negative beliefs and feelings. After you’ve downloaded empowering beliefs and feelings around love, there is a Lifonics process that enables you to attract the right soul mate into your life. I was already married to my soul mate when I found Lifonics, but I have known many others whose love life has soared after they went through this process. You can get this facilitated in a private session with a Lifonics practitioner or you can take a wonderful Lifonics course specifically designed to do this called Embracing Your Own Magnificence and Bringing Love & Friendship into Your Life.
  
I don’t mind working hard, and I have a lot my whole life, but I’m not happy with where I am. It seems like other people I know who are focused have more success, but I’ve never really known what I want to do. I mean, some things are fun for awhile, but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing, what would really make me happy. What does Lifonics say about this?

Finding your life purpose is a challenge for many of us; I know it certainly was for me not only growing up but well into my 30’s! My life purpose has become sharper and clearer since I started Lifonics, and there are specific Lifonics processes that you too can learn in order to find your life purpose and to maximize your success in all areas of life. As usual, this involves identifying the limiting (sub)conscious beliefs and feelings that are holding you back and transforming them into empowering beliefs and feelings in the same area. You can also download the feelings and the know-how necessary to move forward with what you need to do in order to achieve your life purpose and to manifest with grace and ease everything desirable to help you in this regard. A Lifonics practitioner can facilitate this for you or you can take the Lifonics course Finding Your Passion & Life Purpose and Jumpstarting Your Business & Career.
  
I have trouble sleeping, both getting to sleep at night and then getting back to sleep after I wake up a few hours later to use the bathroom. So I don’t get enough sleep. What can Lifonics do about that?

Several things. First, we can find out why you aren’t sleeping well and then transform any beliefs or health issues that are impeding your sleep. This by itself has been really powerful for normalizing sleep in clients I’ve seen. Next, Lifonics can teach you how to sleep and what it feels like. That might sound odd. After all, don’t all of us know how to sleep? But you would be amazed at how many of us really don’t know fully through our whole bodies what deep and restful sleep feels like, and then what a difference it makes when we do. Next, you can find out through Lifonics what things in your case can be done to optimize your sleep further. In the process, we’ll look at other seemingly unrelated life issues that may be affecting your sleep. And, if you have worries or other concerns that are impeding your sleep, we can show you a process that will enable you to set them aside while you sleep. Finally, there is a very powerful Lifonics process called Bending Time in which you can, either before or after the fact, alter the number of hours of sleep your body thinks you’ve had. I use this to energize myself when I don’t have time to sleep much, as well as to get rid of jet lag when I travel around to other time zones.

I have a lot of allergies: dust, grass, mold, and cats are the worst. I’m tired of being on antihistamines all the time. What do you suggest?

Lifonics is the best allergy treatment I’ve ever found, and ThetaHealing is a close second! I actually suffered for many years with the same allergies you mention and more. I got allergy shots, I did all kinds of natural allergy elimination techniques (like NAET), but this made very little difference (just some minor improvement) in my symptoms. In the first private ThetaHealing session I received, we were forced to clear my cat allergy immediately because I was at my practitioner’s house, and he had two cats. Normally, I would have sneezed my head off and gotten red-eyed even being in the same room with cats. But after my practitioner treated me, I was able to bury my face in his cats’ fur with no reaction! It took him just a few minutes, and (with additional healing work) my cat allergy has never returned. Since I became a ThetaHealing and then later Lifonics practitioner and instructor, I’ve worked with many people’s allergies with equal success. Both my husband and sister-in-law, for example, had had lifelong allergies to wheat and to potatoes which caused them to have horrible stomach aches and diarrhea when they consumed either of these substances. We transformed those allergies in one session, and now they can eat both foods with no bad reactions. The thing with ThetaHealing is I found that allergies had to be worked on extensively one at a time while often uncovering a detailed background history and laboring to clear that. With Lifonics, we first optimize the immune system—which by itself eliminates many allergies—and then any allergy remaining transforms so quickly, with minimal referral to trauma details, and the whole immune and eliminative systems are increasingly strengthened in the process. Lifonics allergy elimination seems to take about half the time and gets better long-term results than the ThetaHealing method. So, what I suggest is that you get a Lifonics session (and take a class so that you learn how to perform the technique yourself) as soon as possible! You can also learn how to work with your or anyone else’s allergies by taking the Basic Lifonics course.

I’ve been diagnosed with chronic fatigue and even before that I was depressed—worse now. Is there anything Lifonics can do for me?

Yes. Lifonics is a really good therapy for facilitating the transformation of both physical and emotional challenges. We would first do a reading on your body—actually look inside to see what is going on—and then transform any blockages as well as heal any imbalances with a very powerful Lifonics process. You can learn how to do this to some extent by taking a course in Basic Lifonics. However, there is also a terrific Lifonics course called Body Consciousness in which you get a huge reference manual and 5 days of continual practice in looking inside people’s bodies in detail so that you are extremely accurate in what you see. Also, it turns out that most physical ailments go along with certain beliefs and emotions that hold the ailment in place. You can learn what these are and how to transform them. If you don’t want to take the training yourself (but I highly recommend you do because this will be a valuable resource you can use all your life!), be sure that the Lifonics practitioner you go to for a private session has been trained in Body Consciousness. He or she will be able to get to the root of your fatigue and depression (which may, in fact, be related!) very quickly and help you to overcome those challenges, replacing them with perfect health. Also, I would recommend that you do some physical detoxification protocols since chronic fatigue can be associated with a build-up of toxins in your body.

I used to be really creative, but it seems like as I’ve gotten busier, it’s just not there anymore. What does Lifonics say about this?

Optimal creativity is a function of your mental, emotional, and physical systems operating in harmony and of your being more fully expanded in consciousness to viscerally feel/be the magnificent mega being you already essentially are. Lifonics can help you in both regards. I’m getting that your busyness has not only affected your creativity but also other areas of your life as your system has gone on overload and further out of balance. With Lifonics you can transform all the stress around your activities and also take a very illuminating look at the beliefs, feelings, and experiences that are underlying them. You will be able to transform whatever beliefs and feelings are limiting you—as well as any negative aspects of former experiences—into empowering beliefs, feelings, and experiences. You will learn how to be optimally productive while remaining calm, centered, balanced, and at the height of your creative powers. A major part of this is learning how to live from your massive mega being at all times. I also recommend you take the Lifonics course Getting in Touch with Your Gifts & Talents and Creating Flow in Every Area of Your Life because this will facilitate a quantum leap in your creativity.

My Dad died 10 years ago, and even though I’m better now, I don’t think I ever really got over it. It still makes me sad when I think about him, and I feel lonely without him. Is there anything I can do?

The death of a loved one is one of the hardest things we face in life. My Dad dropped dead in front of me when I was 17, and I carried around the burden of not being able to save him for many, many years. If I’d had Lifonics back then, I could have transformed the sorrow and the guilt into its highest positive potential and been able to focus instead on all the wonderful things we had shared together. Also, I would have known that he was safe, in a great place, and I could have even communicated with him (there are Lifonics processes for communicating with loved ones who’ve passed on, ancestors, guardian angels, etc.). I strongly suggest that you get a Lifonics session facilitated around your father’s death so that you can release everything unpleasant—while retaining and even enhancing everything good—about your relationship with your Dad. This will also enable you to get to the root of your loneliness and to eliminate it. You will not only feel much better but will be equipped to move forward powerfully in your life with freedom and ease. Also, you might consider taking the Lifonics course Psychic Development, which gives you extensive practice in communicating with those who’ve passed on so that you can continue your relationship with your Dad. I feel for you, wish you the best, and know that you deserve it and can achieve it!

As I get older, I have a harder and harder time making decisions and solving problems. Seems like there are too many options and I can’t choose. Can you help me?

A lot of times this is a symptom of dual belief systems. This can be a case of your holding numerous conflicting beliefs and feelings both consciously and subconsciously, so you are understandably confused about what to base your decisions on. These beliefs and feelings come from a variety of sources—many you have absorbed unquestioningly as a child from parents and other authority figures, while others reflect different periods of your life in which your subconscious came up with different basic operating rules depending on how it interpreted what was happening to you at the moment. Lifonics enables you to get the highest and most accurate perspective, definition, and understanding of everything that is going on and has gone on in your life and to make yours the same, if you wish, while melting away competing perspectives and beliefs that don’t support your highest interests. When you have done this, you will find that you are able to make decisions and solve problems with grace and ease on an ongoing basis. Also, if you get trained in Basic Lifonics, you always have a rich source you are able to draw on—your own massive mega being—to help you with any problems or decisions you may encounter.

I love my kids but they are driving me crazy! I wish being a parent came with a training manual. No matter what I do, they sass me, and I’m fed up. What can Lifonics do to help?

Parenting is definitely a challenge and one of the most exciting and valuable to take on. You are absolutely right that a training manual would be helpful, and actually you can use Basic Lifonics, Relationship Clearing & Optimizing, and many of the other Lifonics courses that are offered as that manual. Granted, Lifonics deals with many things other than being a parent, but you can apply all the general and specific tools it gives you to your relationship with your kids (and with anyone) so that these relationships are optimized. First of all, you can transform any traumas, beliefs, and feelings either of you hold that are impeding the relationship. Next, you can transform any “corded” energy between you that doesn’t need to be there. In this way, you will start the relationship fresh and give the other person the room they need to be themselves as well as the benefit of the doubt about the meaning and intention of their actions, without being clouded (even poisoned) by the perspectives and expectations of them that you’ve developed in the past. Finally, you can bring in some super downloads of positive feelings and skills that will allow the relationship to soar beyond where it ever has before. Even if your kids are not open to Lifonics, just you’re getting Relationship Clearing & Optimizing (as well as learning how to do it) will completely transform your relationship with them. (When one person changes, their relationships with all others change.)  And since through Lifonics you can learn to live from your largest self—your massive mega being—you will always have good insight available for how you want to approach any situation that comes up between you and your kids.

I’m a natural athlete, but my sports performance is not as good as I know it can be. Can Lifonics help me?

Yes, because Lifonics can optimize you both physically and emotionally. As you know, a lot of sports performance—once you reach a certain level of physical skill—is about how you are thinking about what you are doing, whether you are confident, in the flow, etc. Lifonics can transform anything that is in the way of your being your very best self mentally, emotionally, and physically. Lifonics offers a freedom and a power that will help you tremendously as an athlete. You will have full confidence in and enthusiasm for your abilities, no one will be able to psyche you out, and you will even have processes to optimize your performance while it is happening. In addition, if you have a physical issue that is impeding your performance, Lifonics can find out what it is and heal it. Integral to all of these processes is shedding beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you and embracing empowering beliefs and feelings that take you to your highest level both physically and emotionally.

I don’t feel in control of my life. It seems like a lot of bad things happen to me that I can’t prevent. Everybody is talking about The Secret movie and says that I create my life myself and all I have to do is vividly imagine what I want and work toward it, and it will happen. But this doesn’t seem to be happening for me. What am I missing?

It’s true that you have the power to create your own life, but it doesn’t follow that just focusing on this and willing it to be so is enough (though it can be a big help!). The reason why we often don’t achieve our goals and seem to be unable to control what is happening to us is that we don’t understand what part of us is really generating our lives, and that is the subconscious mind. Our subconscious is much more powerfully controlling our brains and bodies than we often recognize. It does not have the reasoning ability that our conscious mind has, but it has endless power to project its programs into 3-D reality. In fact, that’s what it actually is: a goal-achieving machine that keeps our bodies and minds running perfectly 24-hours a day, in accord with how it has been programmed. The first seven years or so of our lives, our subconscious is a virtual sponge that absorbs every experience we have, stores everything anyone says to us, and with almost no power of discrimination because our conscious minds are not yet fully developed to filter out what we don’t want and to refuse to make true others’ opinions. As a result, we end up with all sorts of bizarre subconscious beliefs that we would never consciously embrace and are, in fact, in conflict with our conscious beliefs and goals. But the subconscious always wins, so it may create opportunities and situations we don’t desire and then have us interact in ways that we consciously don’t want. To prevent this, you must transform any limiting beliefs and feelings in your subconscious so that it works for your conscious goals rather than against them. Lifonics has very powerful and quick processes for doing this, and once you experience them, you will find that you are now creating exactly what you want in your life with grace and ease. You will love this and never want to go back to how you were before!

I just stumbled upon Lifonics while I was studying. I'm curious about it, but I'm pretty skeptical. Like everyone else in the world, I've had my fair share of problems. I still have a lot of problems, but I wonder if these aren't necessary to grow and learn? Maybe difficulties and pain are necessary ailments for life, to contrast the good things. So, I suppose my question is: Would Lifonics undermine my appreciation for all of the good things in life and 'de-humble' me?

On top of that, I'm a strong believer in God and Christianity. I know Lifonics is a personal growth technique rather than a religion, but I was wondering what your stand-point on religions and Lifonics is? Does it conflict with the Bible or does it further prove the biblical word? I don't want to go against what God wants for me, so I'm cautious. I hope you aren't offended by these questions. I'm just really interested in Lifonics, but I want to stick to my religion first.

I developed Lifonics against the background of my upbringing and my many personal growth trainings and experiences. My upbringing is I was raised a fundamentalist Christian. This has, of course, greatly influenced my outlook on life and, although I’m no longer involved in organized religion, I consider myself a Christian in the sense that I am aligned with the heart of Jesus’ teachings.

God does not want us to have problems and does not require that we suffer in order to learn and grow. These are self-limiting, negative beliefs that Lifonics can transform for you, showing you that everything in your life can happen with grace, ease, and maximal positive benefit for you and for all those around you.

Lifonics further helps you to see and to really appreciate the many beautiful and magnificent things in life that God has provided us all with. We are all part of one energy and part of one plan for the universe, so we are all infinitely worthy and valuable beings, yet none of us is more exalted than another. Lifonics thus helps you to have both proper self-worth and humility.

Lifonics is a way of expanding into the part of yourself that is God-like, asking for and receiving the changes you need in your life, and flowering your fullest as a human being. Not only is it compatible with your religion but it allows you to reach your religious and spiritual goals more quickly.

I would like to have an explanation about changing the DNA. Can I change my personality, my physicality, and my genes to become a completely different person?

If you really see yourself clearly, you won't want to become a completely different person. What you need is to consciously become fully you, in all your glory: the larger being you truly are who contains all of the wonder, beauty, and majesty of the universe inside you. Lifonics will help you to do this not only by expanding you but also by showing you your unique magnificence--the inner beauty, goodness, love, and power that most of us are not very in touch with--and enabling you to transform any beliefs, feelings, attitudes, and habits that are limiting you. You will become a freer, more expansive, loving, powerful, and resourceful person.

Your DNA will change in the process as each old belief and feeling is dissolved and that energy is reclaimed into empowering new beliefs and feelings. In his scientific research, prominent biologist Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief) has shown that our beliefs, feelings, and thoughts actually change our DNA. So we are at power to change our lives, to mold ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually into the highest expression of our greatest imaginings. Lifonics will give you the tools to do this rapidly and with maximal graces and ease.

I know you used to do theta healing, and I have recently had two theta healing sessions with an advanced practitioner.  The first session was awesome, and I experienced an amazing week feeling very joyful, inspired, loved and loving (the joy download & true love from a mother and father kicked in big time!!).  The second session seemed ok but the following week however hasn't been so good!   My focus in this second session was healing a weight issue, a skin problem & money issues, the roots of which were apparently highlighted and healed.  The practitioner also downloaded unconditional love from the Creator & focused on healing my childhood sexual abuse.   However since this second session, I have been comfort eating to an extreme, have actually put on 3 pounds, my skin rash has got worse, I have felt very sad, negative and depressed, experienced no desire for sex and my finances have not improved!

So my question is: why hasn't theta healing helped me to lose weight, heal my skin & improve my sex life & finances straightaway?  Did the theta healer not get to the core beliefs, even though they said they had done?  Is an emotional reaction or clearing common after a theta session?  Do some people need lots of sessions to heal an issue?  Do you recommend I keep going back for more sessions until my health etc improves or would I be better off going to another practitioner to clear it in one session?

Obviously if I had no limiting beliefs about money in my subconscious (lol) I could afford to go for infinite sessions, but this is a challenge for me at the moment., so I would prefer to be able to clear things up as quickly as possible.  I am also interested in eventually doing the basic theta & advanced courses, but obviously would like to get my health & finances on a more even keel first.

I’m sorry to say that I can no longer recommend ThetaHealing as a modality. If you look at my www.ThetaHealingTechnique.com website, you will see why. But just to summarize one aspect, the “Creator” that ThetaHealing works with is not God or the All as is claimed but has proven in hundreds of people’s experiences to be a dark entity that sucks energy from those who call on it. Also, gaining weight after doing ThetaHealing is a common occurrence. For these and many other reasons, I strongly urge you not to get ThetaHealing sessions or training, whether or not you decide to look into Lifonics.

With that being said, I do think there were relevant bottom issues—most likely traumas and their underlying conditions as well as beliefs and feelings—that your practitioner didn’t manage to transform. Also, what often happens when we make a major change in life is that anything in our being that is not in alignment with that change comes up to be transformed. Since the most fundamental negative traumas, beliefs, and feelings about your weight, skin, sexual abuse, and money issues were not resolved yet were stirred up, these came up strongly afterwards and caused you so much trouble. It is true that not everything relevant to a specific issue can necessarily be transformed in one session, so it does sound like you need more work, though not from ThetaHealing.

Remember, it took years for you to develop the many layers in your subconscious mind around all the negative and otherwise limiting beliefs and feelings you may have, so it is still amazing that Lifonics and other modalities that employ belief and feeling work can transform all this in a matter of hours!

Negative emotional reactions are not common after Lifonics sessions because I and other Lifonics practitioners make sure that everything that is most essential is transformed and that you are firmly and happily in your magnificent mega being before we end the session. If it’s simply not possible to transform all relevant beliefs and feelings in that session, I schedule another appointment with the client to take place within the next day or two. You don’t want to leave stirred up negative bottom beliefs hanging out untreated any longer than necessary!

Lifonics can transform weight, skin, sexual abuse, and money issues very well. We even have specialized courses that focus exclusively on the body and on prosperity I have been trained in more than two dozen personal growth and self-improvement techniques and have researched dozens more, so I am confident that Lifonics is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, techniques for transformation that exists on this planet, especially mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation. Lifonics also has profound physical results, both directly (via powerful positive energy downloads the practitioner can facilitate) and indirectly (because virtually all physical issues are associated with negative or otherwise limiting traumas, beliefs, and feelings that need to be transformed).

Relationship Clearing & Optimizing is so important! If I were to work on you, I would totally transform the relationships you have/had with your parents, any siblings, and definitely with the perpetrator of the sexual abuse. I perceive that there is also a link between this abuse and your weight and skin issues. Also, with the vast lists of beliefs and feelings I have access to, I would explore with you the traumas, beliefs, and feelings that are related to weight, skin, sexual abuse, money, and prosperity, digging until we found and transformed the conditions underlying these issues. We would change the core issues and then test to make sure that every single other limiting trauma, belief, and feeling we’d tested was transformed into its highest potential. We would find out what your highest potential for growth is right now and would facilitate your stepping into that, which by itself would transform a multitude of “problems” for you.

Can Lifonics help to eliminate scars? And what other things would you recommend to me? I'm hoping that it isn't abstaining from certain foods....however, I was told that I was allergic to cats, dust, dust mites, dairy, and peanuts. Would it be possible to solve that issue with Lifonics as well? Can we clear all this in one session?

Lifonics can do anything, but there are some things that seem to be easier to transform than others. Allergies, for example, are quite easy—I’ve transformed literally dozens of them in a single session with clients. Scars I don't know as I've never worked on one. But there are other things you can do for scars along with Lifonics, such as externally applying (Home Health’s) Scargo Scar Massage Skin Lotion or (Forces of Nature’s) Scars No More, both oil blends that are available at health food groceries such as Whole Foods. Vitamin E is also good both externally and internally. And there are certain bodywork techniques like NCR massage, Rolfing, and other deep tissue manipulations that actually break up both external and internal scar tissue. You don't need to change your diet to handle scars.

You may wonder why I am recommending other things besides Lifonics since I consider Lifonics to be overall the most powerful healing system in existence. The reason is that certain things are more appropriate to certain conditions and also it is always helpful to address an issue from all sides. Our traumas, beliefs, and feelings are what generate most of both our physical and emotional conditions, but the healing process works both ways. In other words, you can heal physical and emotional conditions by changing the traumas, negative or otherwise limiting beliefs and feelings underlying them AND you can actually shift at least some of these beliefs and feelings by successfully physically addressing those issues. (Certain limiting beliefs and feelings attract certain maladies, and certain maladies attract the limiting beliefs and feelings associated with them.)

There are many natural substances that provide the right energy frequencies the body needs to shift a physical condition (though detoxification and lifestyle changes are often necessary too). And one of the best ways to lift depression, anxiety, and nervous disorders—as well as to vastly improve a person’s relationships—is to receive the revolutionary physical medicine treatment known as NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR), which happens to have been developed by my husband Dr Dean Howell (see www.DrDeanHowell.com for more information).

Always do what works.  Approach an issue from all angles and try what is easiest first. In other words, if there is a fork lying on a table in front of you, it is possible to move it with your mind. But it easier (at least according to our collective consciousness beliefs) to simply move it with your hands. So pick it up with your hands and focus your mental energy on more productive pursuits.

As far as whether we can transform your scars and allergies in one session, I can never answer such a question ahead of time because as we work from our larger beings, the session will proceed in whatever direction and at whatever pace is most beneficial for you at this time. In other words, transforming scars and allergies may or may not be what is most important for your well-being at this time. We generally address the top priority issues first and then go on from there.

I was wondering how self belief (at the level where one just trusts in one's greater self) could be possible for us all without having to 'clear' so much 'stuff'. Is it a necessary part of our evolution as spiritual beings that we must experience events that leave such lasting impressions on us? The answer cannot surely be 'yes'. Is suffering and stress (imbalance, unalignment etc.) necessary in order to evolve into the creative, limitless potential that we are destined to be? Why are we created in such a way that we can reference backwards into our past and thereby live a life that we perceive through a 'filter' that is only created by our past experiences? This then obviously becomes such a “subjective' perception of what life is (or means) according to our reference points? And if those reference points are only the result of a subjective interpretation of reality....then how do we ever know what constitutes reality? Is true reality actually a place of pure bliss, free of anxiety (future event stress) and depression (past event guilt, anger etc.)? I just have to wonder why we can't all just experience the 'ultimate' nirvana...and why it seems to evade so many or at least to be so elusive. Are we simply here to 'remember' who we really are and do we have to have the experiences that literally make us forget? I feel that I am so open to change and transformation whilst I also have an awareness of how much 'false comfort' I have gleaned from attempting to create some sense of order through understanding 'why' dysfunction occurs. The further I have gone along this track, however, the more I am convinced that no amount of 'understanding' the why' will ever actually remedy the issue. It has to require something beyond understanding. I would love to 'let go' of all the 'phantom control ' and just trust that all is well. Would you suggest that this is what would benefit me at this stage...to stop analysing and dissecting everything and to just trust that everything that happens is happening for the evolution of my higher self? Trisha, how did you know when you were in alignment with who you were born to be?

Wow! A lot of questions! And I can certainly empathize with your concerns! The following is what I’m getting right now when I tune in and ask for answers. But, remember, don’t take what I or anyone else says as ultimate truth. The universe—which is inside of as much as outside of us—speaks to each person in terms that s/he can understand. So what I get when I tune in is filtered through my own unique human apparatus. While it appears that we can in some sense transcend our own paradigms when we work on others, this is never completely accomplished because we can receive and make sense of the information we receive only in terms of how wide/deep our own development as a person is. This is one reason why it is so important for all of us, especially, healers, to work on developing ourselves as much as possible!

Anyway, I perceive that we are all unique yet infinite expressions of the creative energy of the universe. We are each a hologram containing the full wisdom, beauty, and power of the entire universe, which is then expressed in us in a unique energetic configuration. The fundamental mission of each person (animal, plant, etc.) is to bring their own being to its greatest possible unfolding and flourishing. It is our example in doing this—the energy we emit by being more or less “enlightened’—that benefits others around us the most. In other words, we primarily help others by who we are being rather than what we are doing. Therefore it is not selfish to first care for yourself. If instead you seek to give to others without first developing your own internal resources, you will have much less to offer them.

Everything that happens in your life is for the benefit of your larger self, for your conscious growth into the amazing mega being you already essentially are. Many times things you experience appear to be negative but in the long run prove to be for your greatest benefit. If you do create something in your life that blocks you, the universe realigns itself behind you so that from there you still have the greatest potential for self-development. You will achieve the purpose you chose for your life before your birth, but it is up to you whether you achieve it swimming upstream (the long and painful way, full of ultimately self-created obstacles) or by going with the flow of your life plan, easily floating downstream as you listen to and allow the universe to guide you. The more you trust in yourself, the more you can flow in the direction in which life is leading you. There is nothing wrong with logical analysis in itself; it is helpful and appropriate in many circumstances. But in others it is not adequate to grasp the nature of what is going on. We intuitively know things in a more direct and complete way than what is possible through the limited tool of logical analysis.

No, stress and suffering are definitely NOT necessary to grow. We create stress and suffering by our interpretations of things, by our traumas/upsets, beliefs, and feelings. All of us have automatically taken many things into our subconscious minds, especially as children, that we would not consciously wish to have. At the time, we had little control over this and thus cannot be blamed for it. (Actually, every “wrong” choice can ultimately be explained as involving some ignorance, as Socrates so elegantly proved 2,500 years ago, so it’s really beside the point and unhelpful—even harmful—to blame anyone for anything.) But now that we have awareness of what happened and we have the tool of Lifonics to explore what lies in our subconscious minds and to transform traumas, beliefs, and feelings that are negative or otherwise limiting into what is positive, expansive, and liberating for us, we fortunately have the power to totally transform our reality. A lot of belief and feeling work is necessary for most of us because of all our past traumas, fears, and other limiting experiences, feelings, and beliefs that stand in the way of our fully stepping into the magnificence of who we each truly are.

But, you seem to be asking, why do we have these early limiting experiences in the first place? Why are we not all fully present and developed as our most magnificent and expansive selves from day one? I guess this is another way of asking, why be in human bodies at all? Why not be fully enlightened infinite beings perpetually? There are many possible answers to this question. What I’m hearing is that the whole of the universe and the life in it actually evolves as each part evolves. If we were always already manifested in our full perfection, we would have no place to go. But, by choosing to be born into a physical body and in so doing forgetting where we came from, we have the opportunity to start anew and to create ourselves via the adventure of life in a way that perhaps we could never have anticipated had we stayed in our earlier energetic completeness. Yes, we remember what we have forgotten as we grow, but we also create new aspects of ourselves that we apparently would never have done had we remembered who we were all along.

What is reality? Reality is to a large extent what we, individually and collectively, create it to be for ourselves. When I tune in, I get that it is, however, neither relative nor absolute. I get that it is absolute within the relative boundaries of each particular situation. That is, things are definitely so or not so within the framework of the reality that we individually or collectively create for ourselves. (Though, as mathematics has proven, there is always at least one fundamental postulate of each framework/system/paradigm that cannot be said to be either true or false within that system because it is the basis on which the system generates truth and falsehood.) If by ‘true reality’ you mean the highest perspective, definition, and understanding of all phenomena, then, yes, true reality is a place of pure bliss: a place where the infinity, magnificence, dazzling power, and love of each being is made manifest.

You are right that understanding the why of dysfunction will never by itself change the issue. This is the reason why talk therapy is largely ineffective. Insight—having the highest perspective, definition, and understanding of what is going on---is necessary but not sufficient. You must take action to change your life, and that is what we do through Lifonics: we not only identify the conscious and subconscious traumas, beliefs, feelings, and their underlying conditions that block living the birthright of your true self—a life of total freedom, joy, and fulfillment—but we actually transform them, changing their energy into empowering beliefs and feelings that bring you into the full magnificence of who you really are. We also give you a visceral experience of stepping into your massive mega being and becoming the Totality of All Consciousness, which creates huge energetic transformation in your being.

There is no need to live in the past or (a more subtle trap) the future, experiencing the world through those filters. That is merely a habit we get into when we forget how to live in the present. You can energetically learn what it feels like and how to live in the now. The now is actually all we have. The apparent past and future are illusions we humans create to make sense of our experience. From the highest perspective, there is no time and no space. All is present and happening here now. As we expand our consciousness, we can actually learn to experience that infinite presence—the subatomic reality that scientists also have identified as simply energy in motion. The full creative energy of the universe lies at the heart of each atom.

We can all experience the ‘ultimate nirvana.’ Many of us are used to thinking of enlightenment as something that only a blessed few achieve, but I meet enlightened beings (human, animal, plant, and crystal) every day. When you spend most of your time in a place of love and joy, when you no longer have buttons to push nor expectations, you are enlightened. This is easily achievable through the diligent practice of Lifonics. When we as a culture grok how accessible it is, suddenly many more of us will become enlightened. (Just like when Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile ‘barrier,’ suddenly loads of people started running a mile in less than four minutes. It was and is all a matter of belief.) All of us have enlightened moments on an ongoing basis. Gaze at a beautiful sunrise/sunset, feel the wonder of the universe, really see and appreciate another person, feel gratitude for the many blessings in your life, love someone with all of your heart, etc.—these are all enlightened moments.

How did I know when I was in alignment with who I was born to be? Actually, it was through practicing Lifonics. I got increasingly clear on who I actually am and, from that perspective, the life purpose I chose before birth became more and more apparent. And I was able to notice and accept the help the universe had been sending me all along to achieve my life purpose. Now I live in a place of grace and ease where everything that happens to me empowers and facilitates my life purpose and brings me into my highest potential.

I have no access to Lifonics training courses. Is it possible to learn online? The in-person courses most likely are not in my area, & the cost might be an issue. If I want to do Lifonics for myself, does it need a course?

Since there is no book yet published about Lifonics, yes, learning it requires a course. Correspondence and webinar classes will be available soon. However, the best environment in which to learn and in which your instructor can supervise the whole class is probably in person. Classes are available worldwide. Check out www.Lifonics.com and click on the Healer Database to find a Lifonics teacher near you. Even once my new book, Reinvent Yourself: Empower and Transform Through Lifonics®,is available, this will be the equivalent of reading a manual on how to ride a bike: what you really need to be competent is practical experience in bike riding/doing Lifonics, and the best place to get that is in a class.

I would like to know if you could possibly give me a listing of physicians you are acquainted with who use this technique of Muscle Testing.  It seems very common in the practice of Osteopathic medicine, and D.O.'s such as Dr. John E. Upledger, Palm Beach, Florida have written about this form of reading the body and soul. Is this a form of reading the body’s mind?  I am interested in how you came into this information or was it readily available to you in an academic format?

I used to be a ThetaHealer, and this modality uses muscle testing extensively. Although I also use muscle testing in Lifonics, I use it much more sparingly now as I’ve found it to be less necessary when the practitioner and client are working from their massive mega being.  My husband is a naturopath, and he’s developed a sort of proprioceptive structural testing that involves the muscles. So we both use some form of muscle testing as do most alternative health practitioners I know. It doesn’t matter whether you muscle test standing, using an arm, the fingers, the occipital bone, etc.—you are still testing the subconscious mind’s beliefs. The subconscious mind is very wrapped up in bodily function so, yes, you are in a sense reading the body, though you are reading its BELIEFS rather than its TRUTH. So, for example, you cannot use muscle testing to accurately test for supplements because your subconscious mind/body may be mistaken about what you need. However, you can use it accurately to see what you believe and then change beliefs that are not supportive for your best interests using Lifonics. I’ve used muscle testing most of my life, even before I was a healer, and my information comes from both practical know-how and from other’s experiences.

You mentioned that we could use Skype to facilitate our communications, so would you be able to assist me given that I’m here in Australia, and can you give me an idea of what to expect in terms of how many sessions and what costs would be involved? I am VERY ready to change and want to be sure of the most effective, long term solutions once and for all. I am sure you understand. I look forward to hearing from you.

I would be very happy to assist you! Lifonics is a quick and effective long-term solution. We can expand you into your massive mega being, show you viscerally your own magnificence, and change literally thousands of traumas, beliefs, and feelings that are limiting your life in as little as a few private sessions or two weekends of training. In each hour session we may change anywhere from 10-100 traumas/upsets, beliefs, and feelings that are limiting you, depending on how many blocks we need to transform first. Afterwards, you will be significantly freer and much more able to consciously direct your life, attracting and creating what you really want from an increasingly empowered position.

As far as how many sessions you should expect, that depends on what we discover needs to be transformed once we look into your subconscious mind and start uncovering what is actually there. It is not something we can predict in advance. I have facilitated the total transformation of people’s lives in as little as 1-3 private sessions, and I have some clients I’ve worked with for over a dozen sessions who are still significantly improving. (They are already much happier and freer but want to continue the process to find their highest potential in every realm and to transform literally every trauma, belief, and feeling that may be impeding them in any way).

While I’m happy to work privately with people as long as they desire, I always encourage them to get Basic Lifonics training because then they have the tools to work on themselves anytime any issue pops up that needs changing. It’s also more cost effective in the long run to take training because I charge $160 an hour for private sessions, while I teach the Basic Lifonics 2-weekend training course for as little as $750. Of course, after someone takes training, they will still need significant practice in order to work on themselves and others as quickly and thoroughly as I do, but it is definitely worth putting in the time to develop this expertise.

I was raised a fundamentalist Christian, and I'm wondering whether Lifonics is compatible, especially since the Bible says not to seek out mediums. Also, was Jesus doing Lifonics when He healed sick people?

I too was raised a strict fundamentalist Christian, and though I don't consider myself that now, I do know the Bible really well, having read it many times.

I think the answer to your question as to whether Lifonics is in harmony with Christianity depends on how you understand Christianity. For my Mom, who is still a member of the Church of Christ, she objected when I first gave her a session because she felt that Lifonics implied that miracles are possible and yet, in her interpretation of the New Testament, the age of miracles in over.

But I have had other Christians, even fundamentalists, in my classes who felt that Lifonics was in harmony with their beliefs and that practicing it made them feel even closer to God and stronger in their Christian faith.

My own interpretation is that the Bible is in harmony with Lifonics. As Jesus says in Matthew 7:7: "Ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door will be opened to you." Many other passages talk about the power of prayer. And you can regard the basic process of expanding and tuning into the larger being we are, asking, and witnessing changes as a form of prayer just using a slightly different vocabulary. I know that when I am working, I am doing so from the most expanded, expansive, and “divine” place.

About the medium issue, I think the Bible is talking about connecting with evil spirits. When you do Lifonics, you are not connecting with any entity but are expanding into the part of you that contains the entire universe and asking for the highest truth.

Yes, I do think that Jesus was doing along the lines of (but not exactly the same as) Lifonics. When I once connected with Jesus and asked why our healings are generally not so instant nor powerful as His, I was told that not only do we need to transform all negative and otherwise limiting traumas, beliefs, and feelings, but we also need to bring back into us all of the energy that we have invested in limiting societal structures--belief systems and feelings but also habits, institutions, and patterns that the collective consciousness immerses us in. Then we will have our full energy present within to use for healing. Jesus also showed me what it felt like to be Him at every moment, and I was overwhelmed with a wave of unconditional love beyond anything I'd ever felt before. This guidance I am now using as a Lifonics practitioner and (what I understand to be a simple, Jesus-centered) Christian.

In January 2008 I had ear surgery which turned out badly. They made a mistake which resulted in two asymmetrical ears, one smaller than the other. My self-esteem went down as low as possible. I became isolated, feeling ashamed and unhappy with my ears.

I could not handle everything that was happening so I had some regression therapy and recently I had three ThetaHealing sessions with a practitioner here in the Netherlands. The first session was a relief, the second one was even better. It felt like I was flying like an angel and people were so nice to me the following week. My whole ear problem felt not as big anymore as it used to be. I felt good.

But now the last session was three weeks ago and it looks like some of the old beliefs are coming back. We did the muscle testing and some of the beliefs were not there anymore, but now it feels as they are back. Is this possible? For example, she downloaded the unconditional love of the Creator and love for myself, but I find it still hard to accept myself the way I look now with these ears. She also downloaded that the surgeons who operated me were forgiven by me, but I feel still angry towards them. I don’t want to, and when negative thoughts enter my mind, I try to think: go away, negative thoughts. I try to think positively, but it’s very hard sometimes. We did the muscle testing while I said: I regret doing the ear surgery. The muscle testing showed that I didn’t regret it anymore. But why does it still feel like I do regret it? Could it be that there are some beliefs underneath that haven’t been cleared (my intuition tells me so)?

Yes, it sounds like there are some deeper traumas, beliefs, and feelings that have not yet been transformed, and also it sounds like those that were transformed on the subconscious level were not also transformed on the conscious level. Eventually, the conscious will follow the subconscious, but it's best to expand your energy in such a way that you transform on both levels initially. But this means your healer needs to consciously become the Totality of All Consciousness relating to you as the Totality of All Consciousness and then tune into your massive mega being and your magnificence—things that ThetaHealers are not trained to do—in order to access what  your conscious mind needs to hear and step into in order to transform. This is one of many reasons that I can no longer recommend ThetaHealing to anyone.

As far as your conscious mind goes now, the info I'm getting now is it would be helpful for you to read Esther and Jerry Hicks' excellent book, Ask and It Is Given. It is great training for the conscious mind, though it doesn't offer as much for the subconscious mind.

Can someone predict his future with the help of Lifonics and can one eliminate from his mind something he knows of the future? For example, I know about the planetary ascension to take place in year 2012, I'm worried about it, and I'm not able to concentrate on my present. Can I eliminate the same from my mind with help of Lifonics?

You can, with Lifonics, both look at the probable future (the future is never set in stone) and change it. I see that 2012 will be great for everyone--we'll all go to a higher state of consciousness. When you expand into your massive mega being, you will see this higher potential as well and you will have a completely different perspective on 2021 than you do now—a perspective that allows all fear to fall away and for you to live powerfully in the present now.
