Welcome to Thrive Energetics Congratulations and welcome to the Thrive Energetics certification webinar. Over the course of the next three weeks we’ll cover all the information you need to make Thrive Energetics an integral part of your life, for your own personal health and well-being, and for the benefit of others. As with everything we do in Thrive Energetics, the goal is to manifest whatever is in the best and highest interest of all parties involved. I’ve spent several years studying many different healing and energetic modalities, and in Thrive Energetics I have synthesized the techniques and teachings that work best for me. There are countless healing and spiritual growth modalities, and they all have their specific applications and merits, as well as their limitations. Thrive Energetics is no different. I teach what resonates with for me, in full awareness that the techniques that work best for me may not resonate universally. I don’t teach anything that I haven’t had a direct, positive experience with. I sincerely hope you find these tools and techniques as transformative as I have. Thrive Energetics blends Law of Attraction life coaching principles with subconscious reprogramming and energetic activations to help you thrive in every dimension of your life. Thrive Energetics can be used for practically anything:

• Physical healing • Anti-aging • Increased stamina and energy • Weight loss or diet support • Self-discipline • Exercise and fitness enhancement • Physical manifestation • Financial freedom • Addiction release • Improved sexual response and function

4

• Focus and attention • Enhanced romantic relationships • Attracting your ideal job • Improved sleep and enhanced dreaming • Spiritual growth • Elimination of shame and grief • Finding joy and meaning in life • And so much more…

Upon completion of this webinar you will be a Certified Thrive Energetics Practitioner, and your certification will be valid for a period of three years. And because your path of growth is individual and deeply personal, I neither encourage nor expect you to practice Thrive Energetics exclusively. In fact, I fully expect that for most of you Thrive Energetics will be just one tool among many you use in your life, whether for personal enhancement or as a professional life coach or healer. Certification demonstrates that you have had specialized training in the theory and practice of Thrive Energetics, and I won’t take it personally if you embrace other tools that resonate better for you personally. If you’d like to take on private clients, I’d be happy to include you in an online directory of Certified Thrive Energetics Practitioners. As Thrive Energetics grows the demand for private sessions is increasing faster than I can accommodate on my own. I will use the directory of practitioners as a tool for referrals. Furthermore, I’ll never charge you commission or a finder’s fee for the referrals who book private sessions with you. Being listed in the directory is neither mandatory nor automatic. If you’d like to be featured, please fill out the Directory Permission Form at the conclusion of this webinar, or contact me directly at patrick@thriveenergetics.com. Please note that if you are listed, I expect you to respect the integrity of the Thrive Energetics brand. You’re free to modify the techniques I teach to fit your personality and needs, but please do not call it “Thrive Energetics” if you make significant changes. As many of you know my background is in Awakening Dynamics™, and for a long time I taught and practiced Awakening Dynamics™ in its pure form. But slowly I began to

5

incorporate energetic practices that stood in opposition to some of the basic principles of Awakening Dynamics™, and after a certain point I could no longer continue to use that name without harming the integrity of the Awakening Dynamics™ brand. Your listing will be active in the directory up until three years after you receive your certification. At that point if you would like to continue to be listed, you will need to repeat the Level 1 Certification or complete one of the later certification opportunities. Once you’re certified, you can repeat the Level 1 certification course as many times as you’d like at the discounted fee of $49, so long as your certification is valid. If your certification lapses, the fee for re-certification is $97. Thank you very much! I hope you thoroughly enjoy this experience. You are amazing! Much love and light to you! With gratitude, Patrick Prohaska Thrive Energetics Founder and Owner patrick@thriveenergetics.com

Chapter 1: Universal Harmonics Thrive Energetics blends Law of Attraction life coaching principles with subconscious reprogramming and energetic activations to help you THRIVE in every dimension of your life. Subconscious reprogramming and energetic activations are exceptionally powerful and transformative tools, but without the philosophical foundation of Universal Harmonics, they’re unlikely to create permanent results. Universal Harmonics is the set of laws and principles that govern the flow and exchange of energy throughout the universe. At its core is the principle that everything vibrates. Everything has a frequency signature. Everything pulsates. Where there is harmonic resonance, energies converge. Where there is discord, energies clash or diverge. All creation and all destruction are accomplished through vibration. In the previous section on brain function and physiology, I’ve already alluded to the importance of vibration and frequency with regard to brainwave states and the pulsation of the pineal gland. For our purposes, here are several of the more important universal principles associated with Universal Harmonics: The Doctrine of Vibration According to certain schools of Tantric Shaivism, spanda (vibration) is Divine Consciousness. All creation takes place through vibration, and in fact, vibration is inherently creative. Vibration also communicates information, and both your physical and intuitive senses rely on vibration to function. Tantric Yoga master Christopher Tompkins sums it up like this: “According to the core Tantric philosophy of Spanda, the ‘Vibration’ of Divine Consciousness manifests as the whole universe, including the physical and subtle bodies of every human being. Tantra

8

teaches us that there is a unifying continuity between our physical bodies, the activities of our mind and emotions, and all forms of interior awareness. All of these are manifestations of the one source; thus, we are all microcosmic pulsations of the whole, expressions in bodily form, within the illusory dimension of time and space, of Universal Consciousness (Parama Śhiva).” Source: Spanda, the Yoga of Vibration. On the micro-level, every constituent part of nature (including thoughts and emotions) has a vibrational frequency. On the macro level, all of these vibrational frequencies harmonize to form your vibrational signature, which in turn creates and projects your reality. The Law of Attraction In short, like attracts like. The energy you resonate magnetizes people, situations, experiences, and objects that match your energy. Every thought you think, every emotion you feel, every action you take – it’s all echoed back at you, but not necessarily in the exact same form. The Law of Karma is an aspect of the Law of Attraction, focused exclusively on actions. Principle of Deliberate Creation Whatever you put energy into with focus, emotion, and intention materializes. This is the foundation of intentional manifestation. To work effectively with this principle, it’s important to focus on what it feels like to have the object of your desire right now, rather than what it feels like to not have it. I tend to define a desire as the energy of having and enjoying something, and a want as the energy of lacking it. Embracing the energy of having your desire fulfilled right now is called as-if energy.

9

Principle of Unintentional Creation You create your reality instantly and automatically, out of the unquestioned thoughts and beliefs in your subconscious mind, and in unison with the collective consciousness. This is why exposing and reprogramming those beliefs can transform your world. To work in harmony with this principle, it’s important to develop an awareness of when you are feeling away-from energy. That is, if you focus on escaping whatever you dislike about the present moment, the vibrational signature you’re transmitting is that of the thing you dislike, and you create more of the same. Principle of Sufficiency and Abundance Because the Universe has an infinite supply of energy in all forms, you always have access to everything you need for your survival, health, happiness, and well- being. Once you come into an awareness that all your needs are met, you can begin to slip out of survival-based energetic patterns focused on lack and competition for limited resources. Soothing the autonomic nervous system and the brain’s limbic system can help you better embody this principle. Principle of Reflection As an extension of the Law of Attraction, this principle holds that whatever happens to you is a reflection of the energy you have transmitted. The people and experiences you magnetize to you are a reflection of your inner state and offer insight into your psyche. Furthermore, if there’s an aspect of your own personality you’re ashamed of or that you hate, you’ll often project that characteristic onto other people and punish it in them. Awareness of this dynamic reveals your shadow self, so that you can heal and integrate it. As the old saying goes, when you complain about others you reveal more about yourself than you do about others. This is not the same thing as blaming yourself for your problems. Rather, this principle reminds you to take responsibility for the fact that you have a role in creating the conditions and circumstances in your life.

10

Principle of Detachment As is taught in Theravada Buddhism, the cause of all suffering is attachment. You can eliminate or minimize suffering by remaining detached. On the surface this sounds like letting go of power, but the exact opposite is true. Detachment allows you to step into your power fully. Attachment to a specific outcome limits the Universe, as does attachment to a specific means or path to achieving your goal. The more you crave a specific outcome, the more you pour energy into not having that outcome, and the more you block the Universe from delivering it. Living in harmony with this principle involves cultivating a sense of surrender, which can be scary because we’re taught to equate surrender with giving up. Surrender is not admitting defeat. Allowing is not giving in. Detachment is not passive indifference. Surrender is letting go of the need to manipulate external events and circumstances, so that you can co-create in harmony with the Universe. Surrender is inherently powerful, because instead of trying to force a specific outcome based on your perceived needs, you step into flow and allow what’s in the best and highest good of all parties involved to emerge from Source. In the end, you often receive something even better than you’d ever imagined. However, it’s not in your interest to be too detached. To fully step into this power, it’s also necessary to have a willingness to recognize opportunities as they arise and take inspired action when the time is right. Principle of Chemicalization The typical human condition is to be fully immersed in a 3-dimensional reality. One of the ways the body maintains its 3D state is by taking on density, which I also call residue. This prevents the body from vibrating in a way that facilitates higher dimensional awareness. When you receive energies the body is unfamiliar with, a number of unpleasant physical conditions can emerge, such as flu-like symptoms, pounding headaches, sleep disturbances, anxiety and panic attacks, exhaustion, outbursts of emotion, and so on. These are the symptoms of chemicalization – the body’s transformation from one physical state to another. The most common cause is egoic resistance, which occurs then the ego fears change or when the new energy is at odds with deeply ingrained belief systems. Soothing the ego and subconscious

11

reprogramming help relieve this. A second cause is energetic detoxification – the actual release of density in physical form. In fact, you may actually cough up or sneeze out energetic residue. In this case detachment is the best attitude, otherwise the density your body is trying to release may just get redeposited somewhere else in the body. Principle of Investment and Exchange Have you ever noticed that the people who download every free product they come across and aren’t willing to spend any money on improving their lives never seem to make much progress? Based on the Law of Attraction, it should be clear that you get out of life what you put into it. If you want to benefit from a healing session or product, it’s helpful to be invested in the process. There should be an energetic exchange of some sort. The exchange doesn’t need to be money, but because we live in a society based on finance money is our most natural form of exchange. The exchange can be a written testimonial, or even a hug, so long as the healing experience isn’t devalued in the process. We all know people who download bootleg copies of audio programs. They may even say to themselves that if they benefit from the stolen program, they’ll pay for it later. But the benefits they receive tend to be limited, because energetically it doesn’t work that way. In fact, this type of “borrowing” can actually be detrimental because of the message sent to the Universe through this behavior. Stealing anything sends a message that you can’t afford to invest in yourself, and you create the conditions of not being able to afford things in the process.

12

Chapter 2: The Thrive Energetics Formula The formula that is used in Thrive Energetics is applicable to anything and everything you’d like to change. The only limitations are in your mind, in the mind of your client, and within the collective consciousness. That is, you can command the elimination of cancerous tumor just as easily as you can command the healing of a headache, but the results may differ because of subconscious beliefs about the difficulty of eliminating cancer. The fact that the remission of cancer is almost always called “a miracle” seeps into the collective consciousness and makes cancer extremely tenacious. Likewise, you can command the manifestation of a million dollars just as easily as you can five dollars, but you may have deep-seated beliefs, expectations, fears, and worthiness issues that block you from receiving a million dollars, but are irrelevant to receiving five dollars. Thrive Energetics provides a powerful technique to eliminate such blocks. Another limitation on what you can command is the free will of others. You cannot change other people without their permission and participation. So, if you’re hoping to use Thrive Energetics in secret to make your boss more respectful or to make your spouse stop cheating, it’s not likely to happen. It could work, but probably requires you to on yourself rather than on them. The Thrive Energetics Formula is exceedingly simple:

Command and Witness To command is to state clearly what you’d like to achieve. To witness is to imagine in some fashion that your command has been fulfilled. Of course, there are specific conditions you must follow to have success with this formula, but ultimately, it’s as simple as command and witness.

13

• Issue your commands with intention and clarity. Know precisely what it is you’d

like to create, delete, or shift. • Command and witness while in a Theta brainwave state. • Always intend that whatever you command be fulfilled “in the best and highest

way for all parties involved.” • Command and witness with detachment. You do not need to know what the best

and highest way is. Trying to control how something is achieved only limits the Universe.

• When working with a client, always command and witness while energetically connected.

• Ask permission to command and witness. You do not need to ask permission for each and every command, but doing so gives your client an enhanced sense of validation and participation.

• When working with a client, always set up some sort of exchange so that your client is invested in the process.

• Issue your command with the intention that it impact all energetic levels: the core lifetime, past lives, future lives, the family history, the cultural heritage, family heritage, deep human ancestry, the genetic level (the DNA), the collective consciousness, and any other level you consider relevant. Even though it’s redundant, I sometimes use the phrase “in all lifetimes and on all levels.”

• Never force a healing on someone who isn’t ready or doesn’t want it. Technically, any command you issue in violation of someone’s free will is a curse.

• As a general principle, whenever you remove something replace it with something better. This is particularly important when clearing a physical space such as a house or office of limiting energies.

• It doesn’t matter how you witness the change; it only matters that you do. • When first starting out, witness by imagining the change literally happening. Over

time, you’ll most likely switch to a set of symbolic witnesses. • Witness with commitment and emotion. • Be patient – don’t witness failure before a command has had time to go into

effect. • If a command has no apparent impact, don’t reissue the command. Instead, dig

to uncover whatever limiting beliefs or fears that may have blocked the

14

command. • Be aware that intention always trumps the exact words you say in your

command. You can use a stock formula if you’d like, but it’s not necessary and in some cases can even be limiting.

• Be aware (and make the client aware) this this is not a magic wand. You are a facilitator of shifting energies and beliefs, but the actual work is done by the client. The client must be willing to take action for the changes to integrate.

15

Chapter 3: The Human Brain The physical anatomy of the human brain is incredibly intricate. Because the brain is one of the most complex and powerful supercomputers known to humanity, any attempt to summarize it is inherently superficial. But it’s important to be familiar with some of the brain’s primary features.

For a basic understanding of energy healing, the most important features of the brain for us to examine are: The cerebral cortex This is the physical matrix of the cognitive mind (also referred to as the conscious mind). It processes higher brain functions such as thought and voluntary motion. The physical location for the subconscious mind (if there is one) is unknown.

16

Left and right hemispheres These are essentially two separate brains working in unison.

• The left hemisphere is typically associated with linear, logical thinking. • The right hemisphere is typically associated with creative thinking and emotion.

Corpus callosum This band connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain so that they can work in harmony and balance with each other. When the corpus callosum is severed, the person essentially has two brains working independently of each other at the same time. The pineal gland On a physical level this gland is primarily associated with the production of melatonin and balance of sexual hormones. It is the location of the “Master DNA,” the seat of intuition, and the gateway to higher dimensional awareness. In most people it is calcified – encased in a hard shell that mutes its natural vibrational frequency. This locks you into 3-dimensional awareness. Pituitary gland Functioning as the body’s “master gland,” the pituitary controls the function of the body’s other endocrine system glands. An imbalanced endocrine system can cause physical discomfort, mood swings, and weight gain. Limbic System This is the emotional center of the brain, including the following structures:

• Amygdala: processes fear, survival instincts, and memory. It is the source of your fight-or-flight mechanism. As the seat of reactivity, it encodes the triggers that cause you to have exaggerated emotional reactions before thinking.

• Hippocampus: regulates emotion and processes long-term memory. It encodes mew memories based on past experiences, and is the source of “self-validating evidence.”

• Thalamus: controls waking consciousness and sleep. Because it aids in transitioning between brainwave states, problems in the thalamus can prevent you from accessing the Theta brainwave state.

17

• Hypothalamus: processes information for the nervous system and controls the automated functions of the organs.

• Cingulate gyrus: establishes motivation for all of your behaviors by transforming memories into expectations. It’s the foundation of conditioned behavior.

Brainwave states Brainwave patterns are typically divided into 5 categories, although the divisions are somewhat arbitrary and several other brainwave patterns exist as well. These brainwave states are listed below, in order from the fastest to the slowest. There is disagreement in the scientific community about the exact frequency ranges of these states, but for our purposes it’s not essential to know those number ranges.

• Gamma: heightened state of awareness, particularly in dangerous situations • Beta: normal waking consciousness with cognitive functioning • Alpha: deep concentration, meditation, and focus • Theta: REM sleep • Delta: unconsciousness, deep sleep

These are not discreet states. In any given situation you produce brainwaves in all of these categories simultaneously. Also, different portions of the brain may produce different brainwave patterns simultaneously. You are said to me in a Theta brainwave state when the majority of your brainwave activity is in that range. There are other brainwave states as well, but these are the relevant states for our purposes.

18

Types of healing modality

• Beta practices: talk therapy, allopathic medicine, fasting, physical therapy, diet, physical exercise, etc.

• Alpha practices: massage therapy, Reiki, Healing Touch, Yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, etc.

• Theta practices: hypnosis, subconscious reprogramming, Theta Healing, Awakening Dynamics, the One Command, etc.

Thrive Energetics combines aspects of each: Law of Attraction life coaching, subconscious reprogramming from a Theta state, and energetic activations from an Alpha state. Entrainment Entrainment is synchronization to an external rhythm. It is the process whereby vibrating systems harmonize. It occurs throughout nature, and impacts us in our day-to- day lives, often without our conscious awareness. Have you ever noticed that when you walk down the street with someone, your steps tend to synchronize? Given time, entrainment always happens naturally, but it can be resisted and even induced. If you’re normally in a state of high vibrational frequency and you visit a place where almost everyone is angry, stressed out, or in fear, your energy will shift to match that of the people around you. The environment “brings you down.” This is especially true if you are empathic. Visiting your childhood home or attending a family event can cause you to revert to old energy patterns. Even a song or an aroma can instantly shift your energy back to an old set-point you’re familiar with. But if you’re able to stand in your energy, after a while the people have no choice but to begin to adjust their energy to better match yours. The key is amplitude – in a sense, vibrating you higher frequency “louder” than those around you. This principle is central to learning how to entrain clients to a Theta brainwave state.

19

Chapter 4: Energy Fields, Channels, and Chakras In Thrive Energetics, much of the work we do is on the Morphogenetic Field, also referred to as the Morphogenic field. This is your energetic matrix, or blueprint, out of which your physical body is continuously and dynamically created. The Morphogenetic Field can hold the residue and imprints of thousands upon thousands of lifetimes worth of shock and trauma, the echo of which manifests in our physical bodies. To clear the impact of these energetic imprints, we can either manipulate the physical body directly, or change the blueprint through applied energetics. We all have thousands of energetic channels flowing through our bodies. These channels, called nadis, interconnect to form complex latticeworks that allow energy to flow freely through the body. For example, the sexual gridwork connects the sexual organs to the feet, hands, face, and chest in order to facilitate the flow of sexual energy for maximum pleasure and interpersonal connection. Environmental toxins, limiting beliefs, and the psychic residue of shock and trauma all create blockages in these channels, leading to discomfort, disease, and premature aging. One of the main functions of Thrive Energetics is to clear the physical density and psychic residue that gum up your energy gridworks. The nexus points where the energy channels crisscross are the chakras. You all know of the seven major chakras, which can also be thought of as secondary brains. Each of these chakras produces a measurable magnetic field, the strongest of which emanates from the heart center. Within our physical bodies (and outside it as well) we have many more than just seven chakras. For example, the sexual latticework features several points scattered throughout the body where energy channels converge, and these minor chakras form the erogenous spots, or G-spots, of your body. You also have important chakras in the soles of your feet (useful for grounding) and in the palm of your hands (useful for extending reiki energy).

20

The most important energetic channel of the human body is the Sushumna Nadi, which allows energy to flow directly up the central column of the body from base chakra below the feet, through the crown of the head, and beyond. This is the pathway of the kundalini energy (your raw primal energy, which is normally sealed up and hidden in most people). Blockages in this channel can constrict the major chakras. Certain activations expand and lubricate the energy channels of the body in a safe and effective manner, to allow the free flow of energy throughout the body. If you’re interested in stimulating and releasing your kundalini energy, this is covered in the 5DThrive

Advanced Intuition Certification Webinar. Two additional major channels (the Ida and the Pingala) spiral around the central channel and connect to the right and left hemispheres of the brain, respectively. In a sense, these are the primary energy channels for the mental and emotional bodies. The Ida channel has a cooling and comforting effect on the body, and the Pingala has an invigorating effect. Techniques to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain have an effect that flows through the body via these channels. Sometimes the energy channels and chakras of the physical body are out of alignment with those of the mental and emotional bodies. For example, severe depression can cause the heart chakra of the emotional body to shrink and sag, separating it from the physical heart. A simple set of morphogenetic field adjustments will bring the bodies into spatial alignment once again, allowing the chakras to pulsate in proper harmony. Likewise, the timelines of the physical, mental, and emotional bodies may be out of sync with each other, in which case time seems to flow in odd lurches. When this happens the chakras pulsate in a discordant manner, throwing off the natural harmonics of the body.

21

Knowledge of the primary chakra system can help you pinpoint the root cause of physical symptoms. For example, disempowerment often leads to sluggish energy in the abdomen, so if someone comes to you with stomach pains, it may be useful to have them muscle test such beliefs as “I am powerless at work,” and so on. Don’t get stuck in a rigid set of interpretations. Consider foot pain, for example. Foot pain is often a simple metaphorical expression of fear of stepping forward (fear of the future). This is the standard interpretation you’ll find on many websites, especially those following the teachings of Louise Hay. But foot pain can also be a message from your body telling you to slow down. Or a physical message that you need to eat a more alkaline diet (as is the case with gout). Or the result of being habitually ungrounded and disconnected from Mother Earth (when the chakras on the soles of the feet are clamped shut). Or it could simply mean you need to wear different shoes. Muscle testing will help you identify the proper interpretation.

22

Chapter 5: The Theta Brainwave State How to Access a Conscious Theta Brainwave State Safety first: never enter a Theta brainwave state if you’re driving, operating machinery, or doing anything else that requires focused attention. Step 1: Ground yourself by imagining your energy or your conscious awareness sinking downward out of your body and into Mother Earth. This is called anchoring, and it stabilizes your energy and minimizes chaotic fluctuations in your Beta brainwave state. It also establishes a link between your body and grounding earth energy. You can use this connection to pull yourself back toward a Beta state if you go too deeply into Theta. Step 2: While staying connected to Mother Earth, pull energy back upward into your body, and then extend it up into the heavens. This initiates both Alpha and Theta brainwave activity, which may make your body feel slightly numb and floaty. Make sure you do this with your eyes closed, as visual stimuli tend to pull you back into a Beta state. Speaking also can pull you back into Beta. To facilitate or enhance the Theta state, you may want to roll your eyes upward. Some neurological studies have found that this action can spontaneously stimulate Theta activity in the brain. Step 3: Maintain your balance. It’s not necessary to be completely immersed in Theta, which can make you feel light-headed and sleepy. If it gets to be unpleasant or if you begin to fall asleep, pull a bit of grounding energy up from below.

23

How to Entrain Someone Else to Your Theta Brainwave State

Safety first: never entrain someone to a Theta brainwave state if they’re driving, operating machinery, or doing anything else that requires focused attention.

This can be done in two ways, and I recommend practicing both of them. Technique 1: Walk your client through the three steps above. Technique 2: Enter the Theta brainwave state yourself and then ask your client for permission to make a connection. When they say yes and you command the connection, their brainwave pattern will adjust itself to match yours. This is entrainment. In short, you establish the Theta state in yourself and then pull the client into your energetic wake. If you plan to invoke changes in your client’s subconscious mind, you must maintain this connection. Be sure to disconnect when you are finished. Maintaining the Conscious Theta State Because opening your eyes and speaking out loud cause a spike in Beta brainwave activity, at first it may be difficult to maintain the Theta state. But with practice you’ll eventually be able to slip into a Theta state instantly at will. As you interact with your clients, you will perform a continuous dance, slipping into and out of the Theta state hundreds of times over the course of an hour. Once you develop this ability, remember to put safety first. It can be very easy to slide into Theta while driving down the highway, or while complaining about a problem. Avoid negativity while in Theta, because your powers of manifestation are greatly enhanced in this state. Respect the Theta brainwave state for the immensely powerful tool it is.

24

The Third Eye Activation Thrive Energetics relies on higher dimensional tools for its effectiveness. The pineal gland is your gateway to higher dimensional, but its 5D functions are normally dampened so that we can have a fully 3D experience while in the human body. Please say yes to accept and integrate this Third Eye Activation.

The Conscious Theta Activation To deepen your natural ability to maintain a waking Theta state, please say yes to accept and integrate the Conscious Theta Activation.

Theta Entrainment Activation Please say yes to accept and integrate the Theta Entrainment Activation, to help you pull others into your energetic wake while in a Theta brainwave state rather than the other way around.

25

Chapter 6: Notes on Muscle Testing Muscle testing is a valuable diagnostic tool in the practice of Thrive Energetics, but is not absolutely essential. The benefit of muscle testing is that it gives you access to the beliefs stored in the subconscious mind. Quite often these beliefs are in direct contradiction to what you hold cognitively to be true. Whenever there’s a conflict between the cognitive mind and the subconscious, the subconscious mind always wins. Technically, what happens during muscle testing is this: if you make a statement that registers as false to your subconscious mind, your subconscious will instantly go into a state of resistance, causing your body’s electrical system to slow down (via the hypothalamus). When this happens, your muscles become slightly less strong, and you can test this difference in strength in a variety of ways. The body is an electrical system, and water is a powerful conductor of electricity, so you must be well hydrated to muscle test accurately. If you’re unfamiliar with muscle testing, there are many guides and tutorials available for free on the Internet. Here are some key points about muscle testing:

• Muscle testing reveals beliefs, not Truth. • It’s better to test statements rather than ask questions. This allows more direct

access to the subconscious mind. • It’s possible for someone to hold conflicting beliefs at the same time. For

example, someone may test positive for both “I am allowed to be wealthy” and “I am forbidden to be wealthy.”

• It’s easy to cheat while muscle testing. Always trust your own intuition when you’re guiding someone else through a muscle testing experience.

• Muscle testing is more accurate while in a Theta brainwave state. • The use of negative terms can sometimes confuse the results. If this is the case,

it can be corrected with through subconscious reprogramming. • Muscle testing offers your client validation that changes are taking place.

26

• Muscle testing is a powerful diagnostic tool, but not completely accurate. • Muscle testing is not an appropriate substitution for intuition. • When muscle testing, calibrate your muscle test often. If you suspect someone is

stuck on “yes,” test for something ridiculous such as “I am a pumpkin.” • Be aware that one’s “polarity” can be reverse unexpectedly. This sometimes

happens if you cross a person’s midline. • Pendulum testing is a wonderful alternative, but it doesn’t access the

subconscious mind as directly and can be time consuming. If you’re working with a client who is having difficulty muscle testing accurately, have them drink some water and take a few deep breaths into the lower abdomen. Deep breathing soothes the autonomic nervous system. When your client’s sympathetic nervous system is hyper-stimulated their muscles will be tensed in preparation for the fight-or-flight response. You can also do subconscious reprogramming to teach the subconscious mind how to muscle test and clear any blocks the client may have. If your client is incapacitated or can’t muscle test consistently, you can always have someone else muscle test on their behalf as a surrogate. When possible, this should only be done with the willing permission of the person who can’t muscle test. As the practitioner, you can act as a surrogate yourself if you’d like. However, if your intuition is well enough developed, it’s better for you to tap in intuitively rather than surrogate test.

Muscle Testing Activation Please say yes to accept and integrate an activation to enhance your proficiency with muscle testing.

Chapter 7: Subconscious Reprogramming The subconscious mind is exceptionally powerful. It can process information thousands of times more quickly than the cognitive mind, and it can hold a vast amount of data for long periods of time. Whenever there is disagreement between your cognitive thoughts and your subconscious beliefs, the subconscious mind wins every time. For example, if you consciously assert (and even believe) an affirmation such as “I deserve to be rich,” but your subconscious mind holds a hidden belief such as “All rich people are greedy and wasteful,” your subconscious mind will block you from becoming wealthy so that you don’t become greedy and wasteful. Typically, these beliefs are hidden but they can be revealed through muscle testing or intuitive reading. Clients are sometimes surprised, even shocked, by what they hold to be true on a subconscious level. But all it takes is for you as a child to overhear your mother, in a fit of anger, say something like “I hate rich people. They’re all so wasteful and greedy!” for that belief to be programmed into your subconscious mind, like a line of code in a computer’s operating system software. And there it remains, repeating itself every time you think of rich people, until it’s removed. In fact, once that belief is in place, your hippocampus protects that belief by selectively filtering which experiences you pay attention to and store in memory. Your hippocampus will ignore encounters with warm and friendly rich people, while enhancing your memory of the ones you dislike. It’s easy to adjust limiting beliefs by inducing a partial Theta brainwave state. This is the state of the hypnotic trance, in which the subconscious mind is malleable and open to suggestion. But unlike in hypnosis, it’s not necessary for you to slip fully into a trance for subconscious reprogramming to be effective. You only need to have more Theta activity than Beta (waking cognitive consciousness) to achieve success. You don’t need to exert much effort to achieve the Theta brainwave state or to entrain another person to it. When you enter the Theta state and then connect with another

28

person energetically, you pull the other person into your energetic wake. That’s why it’s important for you to ask your client to offer clear and enthusiastic permission for you to connect to them energetically. Removing a limiting belief is called block clearing. Installing a beneficial but absent belief or emotion is called a download. So, when we eliminate a limiting belief such as “All rich people are greedy,” it’s a good idea to also download corresponding empowering beliefs such as “I am allowed to be rich” and “I know how to be rich without greed.” Please note that the term download is actually a limited 3rd dimensional concept, but I use the term in my program because it has become a part of our common language. The word is limiting because it implies the transfer of information from an outside source, separate from you, into your individual mind. From a 5th dimensional perspective, this is nonsensical. In 5D everything interpenetrates, so there is no outside source separate from you. Two terms that better express the download process are emergence and remembrance, because the information being installed already exists in your subconscious mine. We’re just remembering what we’ve forgotten, and allowing it to emerge. I sometimes use these words interchangeably with download. The Importance of Witnessing To cause the download or block clearing to take root in the subconscious mind simply intend it to happen through a command, and then witness it happening in whatever way you prefer. Most people like to witness visually – they use their imagination to “see” the change taking place. My intuitive orientation is sensory, so I witness by feeling a woosh of energy flowing through my power center. For me, this method is also diagnostic. By paying attention to how smoothly this woosh flows through me, I can recognize if the client is resisting the energy or if digging is necessary. Please be aware that we all have our individual intuitive language, and just because you witness in a way that’s different from what others do, it doesn’t mean that you or they are doing it

29

wrong. In fact, when you embrace what’s natural for you with authenticity it’s not possible to witness incorrectly. The step of witnessing is absolutely essential for the change to take place. According to certain scholars of quantum physics, the act of observation makes the universe choose a specific outcome (if you’d like to research this, look into the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the Schrodinger’s Cat thought experiment, and the Double Slit experiment). By observing with intention, you can tilt that outcome in a specific direction. Common Varieties of Downloads or Block Clearings There are tens of thousands (perhaps millions) of possible limiting beliefs you can check for. Some of the more common categories are:

• Creator’s perspective – seeing the issue from all sides simultaneously • How to (do something) – this targets the left hemisphere of the brain • What it feels like – this targets the right hemisphere of the brain • Being allowed (or forbidden) to be, have, do, feel, or change something • Possibility (or impossibility) of being, having, doing, feeling, or changing

something • Safety issues • Worthiness issues • Willingness • Readiness • Identity issues and defining characteristics • Hidden benefits to having a limitation • Dishonor to self, family, or cultural heritage • Limiting oaths, vows, contracts, or promises

When you piece these categories together into a specific set of downloads and block clearings related to a specific issue, it is called a protocol. One example of a useful protocol is the Trauma Clearing Protocol described later in this manual. Over time you may develop a number of different protocols you find useful and that fit the specific

30

clients you attract. When working with one-on-one clients it’s best to be flexible with your protocols. Avoid using them ritualistically. Example of a Subconscious Reprogramming Session Client: “I’d like to be wealthy, but never seem to have any money.” Muscle test for the following, and download or clear as necessary:

• I have Creator’s perspective on wealth. • I understand Creator’s definition of wealth. • I know how to be wealthy. • I know how to maintain wealth. • I know how to manage wealth effectively. • I know what it feels like to be wealthy. • I know what it feels like to maintain wealth. • I know what it feels like to manage wealth effectively. • I’m allowed to be wealthy. • I’m forbidden to be wealthy. • It’s possible for me to be wealthy. • I’m worthy of wealth. • I deserve to be wealthy. • I deserve to be poor. • It’s safe for me to be wealthy. • If I’m wealthy something bad will happen to me. • If I’m wealthy something bad will happen to someone else. • I am willing to be wealthy. • I am ready to be wealthy. • I know who I am as a wealthy person. • Poverty defines me. • Poverty serves me. • Poverty protects me.

31

• Poverty has hidden benefits for me. • Poverty is a good excuse for me to avoid romantic relationships. • My parents only notice me when I need money. • Having wealth dishonors my family heritage. • I’m forbidden to do better than my parents. • I have a vow of poverty. • Love of money is the root of all evil. • Material wealth prevents spiritual growth. • I hate wealthy people. • Wealthy people are wasteful. • And so on…

Miscellaneous Notes on Subconscious Reprogramming

• Dual beliefs: Sometimes people will hold contradictory beliefs, such as “I’m allowed to be wealthy” and “I’m forbidden to be wealthy,” at the same time. You may need to test for both.

• To dig deeper, get more specific. If “I’m forbidden” to be wealthy doesn’t clear, check for “I’m forbidden by God” or “I’m forbidden by my family.”

• Don’t expect subconscious beliefs to be consistent or rational. • Be precise, but don’t get hung up on semantics. Note the difference between “It’s

possible to be wealthy” and “It’s possible for me to be wealthy.” • Dealing with negatives: if the use of words like “no” and “not” confound your

client’s ability to muscle test, offer some meta-healing (see Chapter 21). • Lay the groundwork: start with downloads and block clearings for Unconditional

Love, self-worth, and personal identity (see Healing 101 in Chapter 21). • Pay attention to when your client changes or forgets the wording – it’s often a

clue to a deeper block. • If a belief does not clear or download right away, check again the next day.

Sometimes the shift requires a sleep cycle.

32

Chapter 8: Interconnected Beliefs It’s not always necessary to hunt down every individual belief and clear them one-by- one. It’s often possible to clear away hundreds or even thousands of limiting beliefs simultaneously. Digging to the Core Sometimes the beliefs are stacked on top of each other like a house of cards, and when you dig down to the foundational belief and clear it, all the others shift automatically. However, it’s more often the case that the core issue is not a belief but a deeply ingrained emotional state, such as crystallized fear, shame, or guilt. This is almost always the result of a traumatic event or situation. Two techniques for trauma clearing are presented later in this manual. Creator’s Perspective Downloading Creator’s perspective on a specific issue can automatically shift any and all beliefs about that issue. For example, you may have thousands of limiting beliefs about human sexuality. Downloading Creator’s perspective on human sexuality can clear many of these blocks without needing to dig for them. Two specific downloads concerning Creator’s Perspective that I use regularly are “Creator’s Perspective on what really happened” and “Creator’s Perspective on the truth about that.” Finding the Point of Inception When you pinpoint and clear the very first time in all lifetimes that you came to hold a specific belief, it can shift all later beliefs that developed to reinforce it. This is called the seminal belief. To access the point of inception, simply intend to go back to the first time in all lifetimes that the client experienced to believed whatever it is you’re clearing.

33

Clearing Bundled Beliefs After you’ve cleared every belief you can think of, it’s often effective to command and witness that any and all beliefs related to those you tested for be cleared and replaced with Unconditional Love or some other appropriate substitute. Note – this is a tempting shortcut to use when you’re stuck and are not sure what to work on next. It’s best not to use this technique as a shortcut. Rather, it’s to be used after you’ve cleared and downloaded everything you consider relevant.

34

Chapter 9: Subconscious Digging Digging is a massive topic and can take years of practice to master. Here are some notes for getting started: Clear Your Own Issues A lot of practitioners project their issues onto their clients. When you clear your own issues as much as possible, it becomes easier to work with clients in an unbiased manner. It also makes it easier to work with clients without judgment or embarrassment. In fact, you may find that the issues you have struggled with most in your life are the very ones you’re most effective in clearing with others. Please note, however, that you do not need to be absolutely 100% clear before you can begin to work with clients. This is a fear/belief that holds many powerful practitioners back. If you engage with intention and confidence you can adjust your own beliefs as you work with your clients. Use Your Intuition Don’t treat digging as an intellectual game, to be figured out logically. Instead tap in intuitively, and trust your intuition even when it makes no logical sense. You’ll often find that some of the deepest limiting beliefs are completely irrational. Clients will often push back at you from a place of logical reason, which of course comes from the cognitive mind rather than the more powerful subconscious mind. Trust your intuition to guide you through the session. Check for Hidden Benefits Identifying and naming the problem is helpful, but typically it’s not enough to create a shift. When a problem in deeply entrenched, sometimes the client enjoys hidden benefits from it. For example, if someone has chronic pain, it may be the case that complaining about the pain is the only way the client knows how to get pity or

35

attention. Sometimes on the surface, the hidden benefit seems to have nothing at all to do with the issue you’re working on. For example, people often have financial problems to avoid romance. In many cases, current problems are former solutions, and many of the hidden benefits originate in childhood. Watch Body Language and Emotions When your client starts squirming, becomes emotional, changes the subject, or latches onto a distraction, you’re probably very close to the core issue. The ego will often employ distractor emotions such as sudden anger, jealousy, envy, resentment, or rage, to derail the digging process. Furthermore, if you ask your client to test something and they say “No, that’s not it” without testing it, have them test it anyway. And if the client is annoyed or offended that you’ve asked them to test something, that means you’re getting close to the core issues. The ego can be very cunning. Maintain control of the session. Check for Identity Issues Sometimes a client will have had a problem for so long, or for so many lifetimes, that their issue will seem like an integral part of their identity. They may carry a limiting issue like a body part. Check for such beliefs as “This problem defines me” and ‘I know who I am without this.” Make note of your client’s “I am” statements, and help them eliminate negative and limiting self-affirmations. Ask “What’s the Worst Thing that Would Happen…?” This technique can reveal hidden fears. Bear in mind that the client may have a fear of success, a fear of failure, or both at the same time. In the case of the client who lives in poverty, you can ask both “What’s the worst thing that would happen if you lost everything?” and “What’s the worst thing that would happen if you were suddenly wealthy?”

36

It’s useful to layer this question multiple times to dig even deeper. If, for example, your client says “The worst thing that would happen if I lost everything is I’d be homeless,” you can dig deeper by asking “What’s the worst thing that would happen if you were homeless?” Other valuable questions I use often are:

• “Who told you that?” • “What would it take for this to change?” • “What is good about this situation you’re overlooking?” • “How would your life change if you were completely free of this issue

immediately?” Manage Digging Fatigue Digging can feel tedious, and even exhausting after a while. If your client shows signs of boredom or resistance to additional digging, it could be a sign that you’re close to the core issue. Or it could be a sign that it’s time to switch to energetics or some other technique. In one-on-one sessions I tend to shift back and forth regularly to prevent fatigue. Also, when I have a strong intuitive sense that a particular set of blocks is in place I’ll dispense with digging altogether and run through a set of clearings and downloads without muscle testing.

37

Chapter 10: Trauma Clearing

Trauma occurs whenever you have an experience that’s so painful, overwhelming, or disruptive that you don’t have time to process it in the moment. The energy of the experience needs to go somewhere, and if you are not able to release it with grace and ease in the moment, it gets stuck in your morphogenetic field. When stored in the energy field, the trauma can be likened to a sticky residue. Over time, this residue leaves an energetic footprint that causes the surrounding energy field to harmonize with its frequency. That is, the residue entrains your energy field to match its energetic signature. This entrainment causes you to continually transmit the energy of the original trauma, which in turn causes it to happen again. When it happens over and over again, it becomes a karmic loop. With each repeated instance of the looping pattern, the residue increases, until eventually it seems to be a part of your identity, like a body part. In extreme cases, the trauma comes to define you as a person. The use of “I am” statements (powerful affirmations in their own right) deepens this belief even further. Specific traumatic experiences, such as a rape or a murder, are called acute trauma. The residue that accumulates from extended experiences, such as a lifetime of poverty, is called chronic trauma. Often, specific traumatic experiences in a past life can lead to chronic trauma in future lives. Unprocessed events do not need to be dramatic to create traumatic residue. Continual and repeated instances of disappointment or frustration have the same effect as trauma, but on a smaller scale, and this energy can be released in exactly the same way as trauma. For this reason, I often refer to disappointment and frustration as “little trauma.” Shock occurs when the traumatic residue crystallizes into energetic blockages in the physical body, resulting in physical pain or illness. While it’s common to have trauma without associated shock, it’s unusual to have shock without trauma. Often clearing the

38

trauma automatically clears the shock as well, but sometimes the shock needs to be addressed separately. After the shock is released, there may be additional clearing and energetic work that needs to be done before the physical symptoms of the shock can be relieved. Cellular trauma is an extreme form of shock, in which the residue impacts each individual cell of the body rather than a specific part of the body. Sometimes cellular trauma is so completely integrated that it becomes encoded in the DNA. As with shock, often clearing the trauma releases the cellular trauma as well. Additional energetic work on the individual cells, the pineal gland, and the DNA will support the clearing. When clearing trauma, it’s best to clear it at its point of inception, the earliest point in all lifetimes when the trauma happened. It’s not necessary to know the details of the event, and in fact, trying to know the details can be counter-productive. The trauma clearing protocol can be very lengthy. Here are the highlights:

• Identify the source of the trauma. Muscle test such phrases as “I’m holding trauma from being attacked by a bear” until you find the trauma. Painful repeating patterns and irrational fears are common clues.

• Work through the list of major clearing categories, plus additional ones as necessary.

o “I need to hold onto the energy of this trauma for the lessons.” o “…for the memories.” o “…for the stories.” o “…to stay safe.” o “…so it never happens again.” o “Without this trauma something bad will happen (to me).” o “Holding onto this trauma protects me.” o “This trauma defines me.” o “This trauma serves me.” o “This trauma has hidden benefits for me.” o “I know who I am without it.”

39

o “It’s possible for me to release it.” o “I’m allowed to release it.” o “I’m forbidden to release it.” o “I know how to release it.” o “I know what to do after it’s released.” o “I’m willing to release it.” o “I’m ready to release it.” o “I deserve this trauma.”

• Dig deeper where necessary. For example, if “I need this trauma for the lessons”

won’t clear, test:

o “Holding this trauma is the best way for me to keep the lessons” o “Holding this trauma is the only way for me to keep the lessons.” o “I know how to keep the lessons without the trauma.” o “I know what it feels like to keep the lessons without the trauma.” o “Without this trauma I’ll forget the lessons." o Also, download the appropriate lessons and clear any faulty lessons that

were learned instead.

• Use muscle testing to make sure each belief has cleared. • Command a healing of the trauma at its point of inception. • Command an infusion of an energy to take the place of the traumatic residue and

witness it flowing in. Unconditional love or joy are good options. • Clear the karmic loops in all lifetimes and on all levels. • Muscle test to see if the trauma has cleared. • Muscle test for shock and cellular trauma and clear where necessary. • Command a physical healing, if necessary. • If the trauma won’t clear, test again after a sleep cycle.

As with all protocols, once you’re comfortable using it feel free to adjust it based on your intuition. Rigidly adhering to a formulaic set of steps is comforting at first and helps build confidence, but can be limiting in the long run.

40

Chapter 11: Clearing Oaths and Vows

Oaths, vows, contracts, promises, and so forth are inherently limiting. They may seem useful at the time we make them, but as situations change they can lock you into patterns of behavior that don’t serve your best and highest good. I argue that it’s best to clear any and all oaths, vows, contracts, and other obligations, even marriage vows. This does not mean that you no longer honor the person or institution you made an oath to. It means you liberate yourself so you can relate to that person or institution based on free will rather than obligation. To me, it’s an aspect of honoring free will. There are several types of obligation you could check for: oaths, vows, contracts, fealties, promises, pledges, pacts, agreements, and so forth. On rare occasions you may need to check for each of these individually. Usually it’s possible to group them all together. You can muscle test with a phrase such as “I have an oath, vow, promise, or other obligation to avoid romance.” There are certain powerful vows that may need special treatment:

• Vows of celibacy, including residual vows from lifetimes in a monastic order, and also those taken after the death of a spouse.

• Vows of poverty, also common in monastic orders.

• Vows of obedience, particularly those embedded into marriage vows.

• Vows of servitude, often left over from lifetimes of indentured servitude or monastic service.

41

• The Bodhisattva Vow, a Buddhist monastic vow to not enter nirvana until all other beings enter first. It can manifest as a refusal to enjoy pleasure, wealth, health, romantic love, or anything else so long as others are suffering.

• Soul contracts, which are agreements entered into before entering a human body. It’s probably not a good idea to completely eliminate all your soul contracts, because that could leave you feeling devoid of meaning and purpose. But it is good to periodically clear away any and all clauses of a soul contract that are obsolete or do not serve you at the present time.

Vows, oaths, and promises are not the only things that can limit your freedom by keeping you connected to obsolete energies. Unpaid debts (whether you owe someone else or they owe you) and unfinished business can also keep you stuck in limiting patterns.

42

Chapter 12: Energy Fields and Vibration The human physical body is not your only body. In esoteric literature you can find descriptions of dozens of different bodies, all of which you inhabit simultaneously. But for the purposes of Thrive Energetics, there are only a few that are of particular importance: The physical body – your flesh and blood body crafted out of your physical DNA and modified by your beliefs and environment. It is associated with your sensations. This body resides squarely in the third dimension. The emotional body – associated with feelings, and propagated primarily by the right hemisphere of the brain. The mental body – associated with your thoughts, and propagated primarily by the left hemisphere of the brain. Many people like to hierarchize the emotional and mental bodies. In my experience, both are projections of the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and vary in size and energy depending on the brainwave activity in the two halves of the brain. The etheric body – also called the astral body, this is your spirit body not bound by physical reality. It naturally resides in a higher dimensional state. The merkabah – also called the Lightbody, this is the temporary fusion of the physical, emotional, mental, and etheric bodies, allowing your 3D physical body to experience the higher dimensional reality of the etheric body. The morphogenetic field – also called the etheric template body or the bodily quantum field – this is the blueprint out of which each of your other bodies is formed and reformed, thousands of times a second. Residue – energetic junk that causes your bodies to resonate at a lower frequency.

43

Types of residue include acute trauma, chronic trauma, shame, embarrassment, regret, guilt, blame, frustration, disappointment, and so on. These energies act like a sticky goo that gums up your energy field, causing your energy to flow sluggishly. This impacts your energetic signature, which in turn magnetizes to you people, events, and circumstances that match your energy, via the Law of Attraction. I like to refer to residue within the physical body as density. This includes toxins and bodily waste products, which must be physically eliminated from the body otherwise they will redeposit. Physical Magnetic Fields (the Aura) Both the heart and the brain emit a magnetic field that can be measured outside the physical body. Because the heart naturally vibrates at a much higher frequency than the brain, its magnetic field is more powerful. Spiritual growth occurs when you entrain the brain to the frequency of the heart, but our normal mode of operation is the opposite. We tend to entrain the heart to the lower frequency of the brain, thereby shutting down the flow of energy through the heart and limiting our senses of compassion, altruism, and unconditional love. Because one of the primary activities of the brain is evaluation, when we entrain our hearts to the frequency of the brain we live in judgment. When you expand and magnify the natural energy of the heart and entrain the brain to this frequency, you transform judgment into discernment and naturally begin to radiate unconditional love in all situations. All spiritual growth comes from the heart. Furthermore, when the brain is entrained to the frequency of the heart, the brain’s magnetic field becomes significantly more powerful and a halo becomes visible, much in the same way that the magnetic field of the planet creates the Aurora Borealis.

44

Chapter 13: Higher Dimensions There are many different descriptions of the dimensions, many of which seem to be in conflict with each other. Ultimately, they are all descriptions of the same reality, only viewed from different perspectives. Many people refer to time as the fourth dimension. I prefer to think of it as the zero dimension, because linear time exists even in first and second dimensional worlds. For me, the third dimension refers exclusively to the primary spatial dualities: left/right, forward/backward, and up/down. The physical body naturally resides in the third dimension. In the third dimension it’s not possible for two objects to occupy the same space at the same time, nor is it possible to move in a straight line from one place to another without passing through every point in between. The fourth dimension refers to the non-spatial dualities and to the secondary spatial dualities. Non-spatial dualities include such pairs as good/bad, hot/cold, right/wrong, and other pairs of opposites that often involve a value judgment. Examples of secondary spatial dualities are inside/outside, in front of/behind, and so forth. Beginning with the fifth dimension, the spatial dimensions of the third dimension curl in on one another and the fourth-dimensional dualities no longer hold meaning. The higher dimensions are characterized by interpenetration. Most notably, the fourth- dimensional duality of internal/external ceases to exist, and you experience the presence of the entire universe within yourself, and of you existing within all things in the universe. In the third and fourth dimensions, we make changes in our lives and in the world by manipulating external events and circumstances. In 5D, you come to realize that all change can come from within. This is one reason that downloads are better described as emergences or remembrances.

45

Chapter 14: DNA Activations We all are born with the full range of human talents and abilities already programmed into us, including psychic gifts and even the ability to walk through walls. But most of these codes are turned off – they are part of our so-called “junk DNA,” which is the vast majority of our genetic material. Turning on these dormant generic sequences is called DNA activation. These codes are junk only in the sense that, if turned on, most will have absolutely no impact at all if you have limiting subconscious beliefs that stand in the way. Clearing your limiting beliefs can transform this junk into gold. Not only do we have powerful but dormant genetic coding, we also have active limitations built into our DNA that can be turned off. This process is called DNA deactivation. The aging process, for example, is mainly the result of genetic coding that causes our telomeres (the strands that tie together the ends of the chromosomes so they don’t unravel) to shorten slightly every time a cell reproduces. Because telomeres also facilitate communication among the cells of the body, this shortening process causes proper cell-to-cell communication to break down and aging ensues. Through the DNA deactivation process, we are able to shut down these limiting lines of code. A third technique of DNA manipulation is genetic restructuring. Sometimes a traumatic experience can be so intense that it has an impact on your genetic code. Being the victim of a sexual assault can, for example, have such a profound impact that the genetic coding that allows for a healthy libido is altered. With the genetic restructuring process, we hunt down limiting lines of genetic coding, snip them from your DNA, and replace them with better genetic coding downloaded from Creator. All of these processes target the pineal gland, located in the center of the head, behind the eyes, about two-thirds of the way back, near the brain stem. This gland contains the “master DNA,” which functions as a template for all the genetic code in the body. So

46

changes made in the DNA of the pineal gland eventually propagate through the entire body. This is process that takes several years to complete, although in many cases you may feel a profound shift almost immediately. This process works not only for the physical DNA, but also the energetic DNA strands that correspond to the mental and emotional bodies, as well. The Dual Witness The procedure for all energetic activations and deactivations is the same as for everything else: command and witness. However, energetic activations involve a dual witness in which you first witness the energy shifting, and then your witness the effects of the energy shift. As with subconscious reprogramming, your witness can be a literal visualization or something metaphorical. Procedure for DNA Activations and Deactivations

• Step 1: Ask for permission to perform the activation or deactivation. • Step 2: Command the activation or deactivation. • Step 3: Witness the change in both paired strands of DNA. For example, you can

imagine a segment of genetic code either lighting up or going dark. • Step 4: Witness the effects of the activation or deactivation. • Step 5: Have the client take a deep breath and hold it to integrate the change

Examples of DNA activations:

Say yes to accept and receive the enhanced clairvoyance activation.

Say yes to accept and receive the enhanced 3D energetic gridwork activation.

47

Chapter 15: Morphogenetic Field Activations While DNA activations are used primarily for physical conditions and abilities that arise out of the genetic code, morphogenetic field activations are used to directly manipulate the vibrational signature of the energy field (and sometimes a physical body part). The morphogenetic field gives rise to your physical, mental, and emotional bodies. It’s the template used to create your bodies. We carry limiting traumatic residue within this field, and activations that allow the morphogenetic field to vibrate at a healthier frequency can bring profound benefits to the physical, mental, and emotional bodies. In my practice, trauma clearing is by far the most important morphogenetic field deactivation, and manifestations are perhaps the most commonly requested form of morphogenetic field activation. Procedure for Morphogenetic Field Activations and Deactivations

• Step 1: Ask for permission to perform the activation or deactivation. • Step 2: Visualize an energetic vortex spinning around the body. • Step 3: Command the activation or deactivation. • Step 4: Witness the vortex of energy spinning through the morphogenetic field,

adjusting the energy of the field to match the desired goal. • Step 5: Witness the effects of the activation or deactivation. • Step 6: Have the client take a deep breath and hold it to integrate the change

Examples of morphogenetic field activations:

Say yes to accept and receive the money magnetism activation.

Say yes to accept and receive the charisma activation.

48

Chapter 16: Three Foundational Activations There are three fundamental Activations that lay the foundation for everything else that follows in Thrive Energetics. The first two are very closely related DNA activations that target the telomeres of the DNA itself: the Youth and Vitality Activation and the Basic Intuition Activation. The third is a morphogenetic field activation that allows you to receive and integrate energy efficiently – the Grace and Ease Activation. The Youth and Vitality Activation The telomeres are tiny strands that tie together the ends of the chromosomes so that they don’t unravel. They also facilitate communication among the approximately 75 trillion cells that make up the human body. The longer the telomeres are, the better the cells can communicate with each other, and the healthier the body is overall. However, because the telomeres are at the ends of the chromosomes, it’s normally not possible for the DNA to divide and multiply without slicing off the tip of the telomeres. With each successive cell generation, the telomeres get shorter and shorter, and the ability of the cells to communicate efficiently decreases. Aging is the result. The Youth and Vitality Activation resets this process, allowing the telomeres to lengthen and strengthen once again. It’s not a permanent adjustment because there are many more factors involved in aging that just the telomeres, but it can dramatically increase vitality and slow the aging process. Note: this is technically a DNA deactivation, because it shuts down the code that causes the telomeres to shorten with each new generation. But because the result is enhanced youth and vitality, I prefer to call it an activation.

49

Here are the steps for the activation:

• Step 1: Ask permission to extend the activation. • Step 2: Command the activation. • Step 3: Witness the DNA being deactivated. • Step 4: Witness the effects of the activation in all cells of the body. For example,

you can envision effervescence flowing through the entire body. • Step 5: Stay in the energy as long as feels appropriate. Usually 2-3 minutes is

enough. • Step 6: Have the client take a deep breath and hold it to integrate the new

energy. The Basic Intuition Activation This activation is almost identical to the Youth and Vitality Activation. The telomeres are essentially higher dimensional sensors. They allow the cells of the body to pick up information from other cells within the body with no physical contact, even if the cells are in completely different parts of the body. The telomeres can also pick up information from beyond the body, and are the basis of psychic abilities. Here are the steps for the activation:

• Step 1: Ask permission to extend the activation. • Step 2: Command the activation. • Step 3: Witness the DNA being activated. For example, you can envision darkened

segments of DNA beginning to glow. • Step 4: Witness the effects of the activation in all cells of the body. For example,

you can envision waves of energy flowing out of the body and into the space surrounding it.

• Step 5: Stay in the energy as long as feels appropriate. Usually 2-3 minutes is enough.

• Step 6: Have the client take a deep breath and hold it to integrate the new energy.

50

The Grace and Ease Activation This is a morphogenetic field activation that enhances the flow of energy through a pre- existing latticework of energy channels to facilitate the integration of new energies and subconscious reprogramming without resistance, rejection, or a healing crisis. The most common healing crisis symptoms are migraine headaches following anything that affects the DNA, and flu-like symptoms after receiving unfamiliar energies. Other common symptoms are anxiety, panic attacks, sleep disruption, sneezing, nausea, belching, and stabbing pains. In very rare cases this latticework is completely off-line, in which case you should first perform a DNA activation to open the energy channel gridwork, and then the morphogenetic field activation to cause energy to flow through it more freely. Here are the steps for the activation:

• Step 1: Ask permission to extend the activation. • Step 2: Create an energy vortex around the body. • Step 3: Command the activation. • Step 4: Witness the vortex spinning around and through the morphogenetic field,

washing away any residue or blockages that prevent energy from flowing through the body’s energy channels.

• Step 5: Witness the effects of the activation. • Step 6: Stay in the energy as long as feels appropriate. Usually 2-3 minutes is

enough. • Step 7: Have the client a deep breath and hold it to integrate the new energy.

Chapter 17: Traumatic Residue and Karmic Loops Previously we discussed using subconscious reprogramming to release trauma, shock, cellular trauma, and any associated karmic loops (Chapter 10). This can also be achieved through energetics, and I highly recommend combining both techniques as your intuition guides you. Here’s the energetic protocol for clearing trauma:

• Identify the source of the trauma. Muscle test such phrases as “I’m holding trauma from abandonment” until you find the trauma. Painful repeating patterns or irrational fears are common clues.

• Access the trauma’s point of inception: “Go back to the very first time, in all lifetimes and on all levels, when you had a traumatic experience of abandonment. Would you like to have Creator’s perspective on what really happened in that instance, and begin clearing it from here?”

• It’s not necessary for the client to remember the first time it happened. Merely set the intention that the point of inception is accessed.

• Witness an energetic cleansing of the traumatic residue at the point of inception. • Witness an infusion of an energy to take the place of the residue (love, joy, etc.). • Access the karmic loop for the trauma: “Anywhere and everywhere, in all

lifetimes and on all levels, where you’ve experienced abandonment, would you like to have Creator’s perspective on what was going on in each instance, and clear that energy from here?”

• Witness an energetic cleansing of the traumatic residue in all lifetimes and on all levels.

• Witness an infusion of an energy to take the place of the residue (love, joy, etc.). • Muscle test to see if the trauma has cleared. • Muscle test for shock and cellular trauma and clear where necessary. • If necessary, perform a physical healing. • If the trauma won’t clear, test again after a sleep cycle.

52

Chapter 18: The Healing Crisis The Principle of Chemicalization holds that integration of unfamiliar energy or a heightened state of consciousness requires an adjustment in the physical body and may cause resistance by the ego, resulting in physical pain, minor illness, exhaustion, or outbursts of emotion. It’s usually the result of the ego fighting against the new energy. The ego is highly resistant to change, even if your current condition is full of pain and suffering. In extreme cases, this can result in a healing crisis. Many of the symptoms experienced result from the spontaneous release of residue and density that adhere to the physical, emotional, or mental body like a sticky goo. Density release from the physical body often takes the form of phlegm, and can easily be mistaken for a cold, flu, or allergy. Release of residue from the emotional and mental bodies often takes the form of powerful emotions, unpleasant memories, or crying fits. Whatever the symptom, the best thing to do is to acknowledge and honor what’s coming up for release, thank it for stepping forward, and let it go. If you push it back down again, it will only continue to fester. Other tips for handling the symptoms of density release:

• Use the Grace and Ease Activation • Integrate new energies regularly throughout your session. Having the client take

a deep breath facilitates integration. • At the conclusion of a session, muscle test to see if the client is comfortable with

his or her new energy, and then command a final integration. • Maintaining proper hydration eases and speeds the release of density. • Slow down. A healing crisis can happen if you shift too much too fast. • Get plenty of sleep, and allow your body to decide how much sleep you need. • Remember the principles of surrender and detachment.

53

Chapter 19: Putting it All Together When you piece together a specific set of downloads, block clearings, activations, and energetic releases into a package, it’s called a protocol. Some healers adhere to their protocols ritualistically, and assume that if they leave anything out or modify it the protocol will fail. I prefer to use protocols as guidelines, and allow my intuition to guide me in whatever direction is in the best and highest interest of all parties involved. I do this even in group settings. On example of a protocol is the trauma clearing presented in Chapter 10. A more detailed protocol, drawing on elements of both subconscious programming and energetics, is the Relationship Clearing Protocol. Relationship Clearing Protocol Muscle test the following beliefs and clear or download as necessary. Also dig deeper if you sense the energy is stuck or that there are deeper issues, and use energetics to support the reprogramming.

• I have Creator’s perspective on this relationship • If the relationship has ended, I have Creator’s perspective on why • I know how to release this relationship • I know what it feels like to release this relationship • I know what really happens (from Creator’s perspective) when I do this • It is safe for me to do this • If I release this relationship something bad will happen • If I release this relationship something bad will happen to me • I am allowed to release this relationship • It is possible for me to do this • I know what to do after I have released this relationship

54

• I know how to act after I have released this relationship • I am willing to release this relationship • I am ready to release this relationship

• I know who I am (from Creator’s perspective). • I know who I am in relation to XXX • I know who I am independent of XXX • I am defined by XXX • I am defined by my relationship with XXX • Without this relationship I am nothing • Without this relationship I have nothing • Without this relationship XXX is/has nothing • I am incomplete without this relationship. • I need a relationship in order to be complete. • I need a relationship in order to feel complete.

• I have oaths, vows, promises, or other obligations to XXX • XXX has oaths, vows, promises, or other obligation to me • I have unfinished business with XXX • XXX has unfinished business with me • I have unpaid debts to XXX • XXX has unpaid debts to me • I have a soul contract with XXX

• I have hooks, cords, or other forms of attachment to XXX • XXX has hooks, cords, or other forms of attachment to me

Energetically detach all hooks and cords, send them to Creator’s light, and replace with Unconditional Love

• I am holding trauma from this relationship • I am holding trauma from XXX • I am holding trauma from a specific event in this relationship

55

Clear the trauma energetically (or use the subconscious reprogramming protocol if your client does not have digging fatigue).

• I need this relationship • This relationship protects me • I need this relationship to be safe • This relationship is the best way for me to feel safe • This relationship is the only way I know to feel safe • I know how to feel safe without this relationship • I need this relationship for the lessons…. • I need this relationship for the memories…. • I need this relationship for the stories….

Wash away energies of resentment, anger, jealousy, revenge, regret, etc. Infuse energies of love, joy, allowing, detachment, etc.

• I have Creator’s perspective on forgiveness • I know how to forgive XXX • I know how to forgive myself • It is possible for me to forgive XXX • Etc.

Perform a Soul Fragment retrieval

• I completely release XXX to the Universe now Command that any and all limiting beliefs related to what you’ve covered that you didn’t explicitly name be released, and wash them out energetically. Integrate

56

Chapter 20: One-on-One Sessions All one-on-one sessions are unique. It is not a good idea to force them to fit a specific protocol because everyone’s needs are different, and too rigid an approach serves neither of you. However, I recommend you follow a general set of steps and allow your intuition to guide you when it’s time to alter course. To prepare for a session your client needs to do the following:

• Offer some form of exchange. If you’re charging money, it’s always best to take payment in advance. The client’s sense of investment in the process is important.

• Set an agenda, but also be open to the session taking unexpected turns. The ego is good at convincing us that our core issues are irrelevant, and sometimes when a client says “Let’s not focus on that – it’s not important” the exact opposite is true.

• Be well hydrated and have water available during the session. • Calibrate his or her muscle test. If your client doesn’t know how to muscle test

you can teach them in less than 10 minutes. If they can’t muscle test, you can either coach them with meta-healing or proceed without it.

• Make certain the client is in a safe place that is free of distractions. To conduct the session, follow this general outline:

• Step 1: Ask your client for permission to connect with them energetically. • Step 2: Create your energetic vortex. • Step 3: Ground yourself by extending your energy down into the planet. • Step 4: Enter the Theta brainwave state by extending your energy up into the

heavens. • Step 5: Set the connection with the client by extending your energy into your

client or by pulling him or her into your energy. • Step 6: For new clients, start with Unconditional Love, self-worth, identity, and

meta- healing (if necessary). No muscle testing is necessary in this section.

57

• Step 7: Use muscle testing to check for limiting beliefs and do downloads and block clearings as necessary.

• Step 8: Dispense with muscle testing when you feel it no longer enhances the client experience.

• Step 9: Command and witness healings, manifestations, or whatever you sense the client needs, as necessary.

• Step 10: Maintain your energetic vortex throughout the session so you can offer energetic activations and cleansings as necessary.

• Step 11: Muscle test to see if your client is comfortable with his or her new energy.

• Step 12: Command an integration of the new energies and subconscious beliefs. • Step 13: Disconnect from your client. • Step 14: Ground yourself, and ask your client to do the same.

Once again, the key practices are commanding and witnessing. You can witness in whatever way you most enjoy. Whenever you are commanding, always set an intention that it be done in the best and highest way for all parties involved, and that it take place on all levels. If you’d like, you can ask your client to do steps 2-4 along with you. This can create a deeper Theta brainwave state. Safety first! Always make sure your client understands that they should not do anything that requires focused attention during the session, especially if you’re conducting it by telephone. The Theta brainwave state can make your client light-headed. If your client gets into an accident during a session, you may be liable for damages. Periodically ask you client to take a deep breath and hold it, to integrate what’s been done up until that point. You can support this by commanding and witnessing the integration. This is especially important after an activation or energetic infusion.

58

Before the session, it’s helpful to ask the client what term they prefer to use for their highest reality (God, Creator, Source, the Universe, etc.). The Importance of Permission You must never violate another person’s free will. Performing healings or other energetic work on another without their permission is not recommended. Usually when you use these tools without permission nothing happens at all because the person you’re working on is neither invested in nor participating in the healing. In some cases you can do actual damage. Remember, forcing a healing on someone else without their permission is technically a curse. Some practitioners will acknowledge the need for permission, but will then justify working on someone without consent by saying that the person’s higher self agreed to it. This, to me, is a cop-out, and is evidence of spiritual ego, that insidious arrogance that implies that you know what’s best for other people. When you see someone in need it’s best to send Unconditional Love, and allow him or her to use the loving energy in whatever way he or she sees fit. You never need permission to extend Unconditional Love to another person. And if you believe that this is ineffective, you don’t understand the nature of Unconditional Love. It truly is the most powerful force in the universe. If after sending Unconditional Love you still feel compelled to work on someone else without their permission, you should probably work on yourself instead and clear your own control issues. Many of us are driven by a deep-seated need to fix other people, even if they don’t want to be fixed.

59

Chapter 21: Meta-Healing When working with a new client, it’s often necessary to start with meta-healing, which is clearing limiting beliefs about the healing process itself. Muscle testing is optional here (I usually don’t muscle test during meta-healing, but often clients benefit from the validation). The list of subconscious beliefs you can test for and clear is almost endless, but here are some of the more common ones:

• I have Creator’s perspective on instantaneous healing. • I know how to accept and receive instantaneous healing. • I know what instantaneous healing feels like. • Instantaneous healing is possible for me. • I am allowed to accept and receive instantaneous healing. • I know what to do after an instantaneous healing.

• I have Creator’s perspective on morphogenetic field activations…. • I have Creator’s perspective on DNA activations… • I have Creator’s perspective on subconscious reprogramming…

• I know how to process new energies with grace and ease…

• My subconscious mind knows how to recognize and understand negative terms

accurately…

• Instantaneous healing is forbidden by God…

• Energy healing is unscientific. • Energy healing is a scam. • Energy healing is a waste of money.

…and so forth. Use your intuition to determine how much meta-healing is necessary.

60

“Healing 101” Also when working with a new client, it’s helpful to start with a set of downloads that once integrated will have a profound impact on the client’s life. Muscle testing is not necessary here – you can simply offer the downloads and have the client say yes to each one. “Healing 101” also functions as a wonderful diagnostic tool for you as the practitioner. As you offer each download and the client says yes to each one, you can tune in energetically to see how receptive the client is to receiving new energy, and also find out what his or her primary forms of resistance are. For example, you may find that your client accepts all the downloads freely except for anything related to allowing. Or you may find that all the “I know how to” downloads integrate seamlessly, but all the “I know what it feels like” downloads are resisted. Here’s a typical list of Healing 101 downloads:

• Would you like Creator’s perspective on Unconditional Love? • Would you like to know what Unconditional Love feels like? • Would you like to know how to accept and receive Unconditional Love? • Would you like to know you’re allowed to experience Unconditional Love? • Would you like to have Creator’s perspective on self-worth? • Would you like to know what self-worth feels like? • Would you like to know that you are worthy of Unconditional Love? • Would you like to have Creator’s perspective on joy? • Would you like to know what joy feels like? • Would you like to know you are worthy of experiencing joy? • Would you like to know you are worthy of experiencing joy on a continual basis? • Would you like to have Creator’s perspective on success? • Would you like to know what success feels like? • Would you like to know you are worthy of being successful? • Would you like to know who you are from Creator’s perspective?

…and so on. Be sure to integrate with a deep breath after this section.

61

The Three Foundational Activations With new clients you can also immediately offer the three Foundational Activations, or whatever activations sense are appropriate for your client. These are the Youth and Vitality Activation, the Basic Intuition Activation, and the Grace and Ease Activation. These can also function as a diagnostic tool. As you extend the activations, you can tap in energetically to see how efficiently the client accepts DNA and morphogenetic field activations. If they reject the new energy, follow up with more meta-healing. Other activations I find to be especially useful are the Self-Love Activation, the Happiness Activation, and the Brain Stem Soother.

62

Chapter 22: The Client Relationship Getting Clear As mentioned above, the more clear you are yourself the more effective you will be with your clients, because this allows you to better differentiate between your own issues and those of your clients. But this does not mean that you need to be absolutely clear before you start. As the saying goes, “Your mess is you message,” and sometimes the best way to clear yourself is to work with others. Let go of belief that you’re being hypocritical if you help someone else with problem you yourself are still dealing with. An amazing tool you can use for your own personal growth is the energetic mirror. At the beginning of a session set an intention that any and all activations, downloads, and block clearings that you extent to the client reflect back upon you as well, and perform an integration on yourself at the conclusion of the session. How do you set up an energetic mirror? As with everything, command and witness. Attracting your ideal client To attract your ideal client, you must have a clear vision of the type of client you’d like to work with and set an intention to magnetize those clients to you. When you’re first starting out it’s tempting to take on every client who shows an interest in you. But if you accept clients who are not a good match for you, you do a disservice to both your client and to yourself. Having a clear vision of your ideal client also involves establishing clear-cut boundaries, and honoring these boundaries. This means knowing when to say no to a client, and when to “fire” a client if he or she isn’t a good match. Remember the principle of acting “for the best and highest good of all parties involved.” I, for example, am not suited to work with clients who say things like “I need you to fix this for me” or “I can’t make changes in my life because of external circumstances.” I’ll

63

work with such clients for a while, but if they can’t shift into personal responsibility, I recommend a different practitioner who is more in alignment with their needs. Likewise, I don’t work very well with ritualists, unfocused dabblers, or hyper-intellectuals. This doesn’t mean I judge them as inferior clients; it merely means I recognize that I’m not the practitioner best suited to meet their needs. Bear in mind that in certain cases energy healing is inappropriate. If you have a client who shows signs of severe mental illness, is currently being abused, is threatening to commit suicide, or gives signs that he or she is a threat to others, do not work with them. This certification is not a substitute for a legal license, and you can find yourself in deep legal trouble if you take on inappropriate clients. Furthermore, in certain cases failure to report a suicidal or dangerous client to the authorities is a crime. Be aware that you will likely attract clients who reflect your own personality quirks. If you’re always behind schedule, you’ll attract clients who are constantly late for their appointments. If you’re easily distracted during your sessions, you’ll attract clients who don’t pay attention. And if you’re afraid to be seen, your ideal clients will not find you. Choosing a niche In the healing industry a niche is not absolutely necessary, but it can really help you find a focus and build you career. Having an area of specialization (such as financial success, career development, vibrant sexuality, etc.) also makes it easier for you to attract your ideal clients. For most people, passion is the key to success. What are you passionate about? The things you’re passionate about are energetic hotspots, and if you infuse your work with passion your effectiveness will be greatly magnified. When you work with passion everything seems to fall into place naturally, and you often find yourself in the right place at the right time to grow your business. Some people carry the limiting belief any activity they enjoy is appropriate as a hobby but not as a career. Or that if you transform a hobby into a career it will kill the fun. These are just belief systems, and they can be eliminated with subconscious reprogramming.

64

Also consider the principle “Your mess is you message.” Whatever you’ve experienced the most trouble with in your life is probably what you’re best suited to help others with. In my case, in my lifetime I’ve rarely ever been physically ill, so physical healing is not my primary focus, and I rarely attract clients who want physical healing. Setting prices When you’re first starting out its tempting to undercharge, or even to work for free, for the sake of building a base of clients. Be aware that this can backfire, for many reasons. First, the less you charge for your services, the less invested the client will be in the process, and the less they may get out of it. Second, by undercharging you train your clients to expect you to undercharge, and they may become angry if you increase your rates later. Third, you attract only clients who are looking for bargain rates, and repel clients who are willing to pay extra for a more profound experience. Remember, you’re not charging for an hour of your time – you’re charging for a life- altering experience. In the life coaching industry, it’s often said that when you’re first starting out, you should determine what you think is a fair rate for your services, and then triple the price. According to the Quantum Success Coaching Academy, in the United States the average hourly rate for certified life coaches was $208/hour in 2014. Sometimes a client will ask you to work on them now and allow them to pay later. When this happens tap in intuitively to determine if this is in the client’s best interest. I very rarely allow this in my practice, because sometimes the client is using a well-worn ego trick to undermine the effectiveness of the session. Recognizing client resistance and ego tricks While it’s important to “meet the client there they are,” this does not mean you should indulge them in their current energy. There’s a long list of tricks clients unwittingly use to derail the healing process, especially when you’re close to the core issue. Sometimes

65

they will suddenly shift the topic of conversation, or have an emotional outburst. One of the most common tricks is to wait until the very end of the session to bring up what they really want to work on. Creating a safe and supportive environment helps to reassure the client they can address their deepest fears at any time. Some clients will refuse to set an agenda, and request instead that you do an intuitive reading on them and tell them what they need to work on. I don’t allow this because it undermines the sense of personal responsibility I think is the foundation of the healing experience. If they insist, I usually start by working on personal empowerment and responsibility. Similarly, some clients will answer every question you ask with “I don’t know,” once again hoping you’ll offer them a suggestion. If this happens, you can ask them to make something up. For example, if you ask “What’s the worst thing that would happen if you suddenly became wealthy,” and they respond “I don’t know,” I might follow up with: “If you were writing a story about someone who suddenly became wealthy, what’s the worst thing that might happen to that character?” Other ego tricks were already mentioned above: suddenly changing the topic, having sudden outbursts of “distractor emotions,” saying “No, that’s not important…”, “Yes, but…”, and so on. Witnessing failure As mentioned above, the witness is the most important part of the Thrive Energetics formula. It’s what transforms energy from potential to probable. If you guide a client through a manifestation of something specific and it doesn’t materialize, if the client sinks into disappointment energy then they have just “witnessed failure” and that’s what the end up with. Counsel you clients to remain open and receptive to the Universe fulfilling their desires in the best and highest way for all parties involved.

66

Working with “Cuddle Clients” It’s a “dirty little secret” in the life coaching and healing industries that clients who want to have their energy soothed without making any real progress are by far the most lucrative. If you choose to target cuddle clients you can make a massive amount of money, because they will always book more sessions. Personally I avoid them because I find lack of meaningful progress to be unfulfilling. I’ve chosen to work with clients who really want to dig deep and make significant changes in their lives. I’m perfectly happy if I work two or three sessions with someone and never see them again because their issues have been resolved. Cuddle clients typically don’t want to dig deep and clear their issues once and for all, because then they’re no longer eligible for cuddles. Of course, this is just a belief system easily changed through subconscious reprogramming. Furthermore, they tend to stay stuck in their stories, and repeat them over and over again until the story becomes part of their identity. But if telling the story were actually helpful, it would have helped by now. Letting go of these stories altogether can be utterly transformative. Alternatively, you can download for the client how to tell these stories without reliving them energetically, so that they become historical accounts rather than traumatic triggers. How to manage venting Venting, even when it’s infused with anger or desperation, is a powerful form of release. Venting allows you to expel a massive amount of limiting energy in a short period of time. Venting feels fantastic, because it’s extremely pleasurable to release negative energy. However, the fact that it feels good creates a problem – some people enjoy the feeling of venting so much that they stop releasing. They begin to hold onto the negative energy they should be letting go of so they can prolong the pleasure of venting. When you’re working with a client who is venting, you should tap in intuitively to determine if the client is actually releasing energy or is merely being self-indulgent. You can also download for yourself how to tell the difference with ease.

67

Many well-practiced venters have an addiction to drama, stress, or victimhood. Addiction redirection work can be very effective here. But the core of the issue is almost always at the level of identity. Typically, they’ve said so many “I am” statements about their personal tragedies that they’ve come to believe that victimhood is their natural state. I spend a significant amount of time discussing Universal Harmonics with such clients. Clients seeking medical advice Clients will beg you for medical advice. They will ask you if they should stop taking a certain drug, or if they really need the surgery their physician has recommended. NEVER give medical advice. As a certified Thrive Energetics practitioner, you are not licensed in the practice of medicine. Your goal is to free your client from anything that is inherently limiting (including reliance on medication) and you’re offering energetic support to bring that about. But medical decisions must be left to the client in consultation with his or her doctor. If a client asks you to do a reading on whether his or her physician is competent and reliable, shift the focus by working instead on helping the client attract medical professionals who are competent. You can also work on your client’s trust issues, or on standing in their truth when consulting with their physician.

68

Chapter 23: Session Follow-Up At the conclusion of each session, make sure to integrate the new energies. Also, be sure to disconnect from your client and send in a shower of cleansing energy to remove any residue you may be carrying from your client, and vice versa. If necessary, explain to your client the importance of taking action. Some clients expect that they can sit back passively and watch their world transform for the better. But as the Christian Bible says, “Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James 2:17) Recommend that the client stay well hydrated. If necessary, explain that water is essential to the flow of energy through the human body. Recommend non-carbonated water, and no caffeine. Lemon water or alkaline water with electrolytes are especially refreshing. Make the client aware that quite often a sleep cycle or two is needed for the subconscious reprogramming or new energy to fully integrate. The human brain is a super-computer, and like all computers, it sometimes requires a reboot when new software is installed. Discuss the healing crisis with your client, but not in a way that suggests that a healing crisis is inevitable. Many unpleasant symptoms are the result of density release or an expansion of the pineal gland. Recommend that your client maintain an attitude of appreciation for whatever symptoms arise, and consider it evidence that a shift has happened. When symptoms arise, the client can thank them for stepping forward for release, and let them go. Sometimes a healing crisis is the result of resistance. If there is resistance, you can do additional work to soothe the ego, or you may need to dig deeper to find the root belief systems that are blocking the new energy.

69

Ask that your client follow up with you, and let you know what shifts they experience as a result of the session. But please be aware that sometimes a client will bombard you with email messages requesting additional healing energies for free. Set clear boundaries for yourself, and don’t hesitate to ask a client who does this to book an additional session. Finally, don’t be shy about asking if your client would like to book his or her next session. You don’t need to be pushy about this. And don’t take it personally if the client chooses not to book another session.
