In order to make this just a little easier to understand, I will begin by telling you how a simple psychological reversal “phrase” saved my life. When you personally experience a life altering event, you are able to share it “first hand” with others.

In 2001, I started continually bleeding as though I had my period for nine months.  My gynecologist prescribed a strong prescription hormone but I had no improvement, not even a slight reduction.  I researched alternatives and learned of Dr. Fuller Royal.  Dr. Royal is a homeopathic M.D.. I hoped he might have answers to my bleeding that my regular doctor did not have. I prefer a more natural approach to medicine. 

Dr. Royal reviewed my test results that he requires of all his patients before he sees them and mine were very bad. The result of my Heart Rate Variability Test was a 16. This was extremely low and my Voll test, which measures the health of all the meridians, was also very, very bad.  He repeated the tests for verification because the test results were so low. He concluded that there was an emotional cause to my continuous bleeding based on my medical history. He began using Thought Field Therapy, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques or Energy Psychology with me.  He was trained under Dr. Callahan so technically he was using Though Field Therapy.

After using tapping procedures for over an hour, he repeated the tests again and they showed no improvement.  Finally, he said “I want you to rub on your “sore spot” and say “I deeply and completely accept myself even if I do not want to get better, three times.”  I refused to say it. I was thinking this stuff was too weird for me and told him I wouldn’t say that.  I asked him why he thought I came to see him if I didn’t want to get better.  He was very kind and patient with me and asked me to trust him.  I did what he asked but I did it reluctantly.  After I followed his directions, which only took less than a minute, he checked my meridians on the Voll machine.  He smiled and said “You’re all better now”!  I, of course, did not believe him. As a matter of fact, I was rather annoyed with the fact that he charged so much for such a ridiculous treatment.  My symptoms were very distinct so I could not just ignore the fact that I had stopped bleeding for the first time in months and that within a few days after my appointment with him, I felt better than I had felt in months. 

Reflecting back on my session with him, I remembered that the tapping itself didn’t work until I rubbed on the “sore spot” and repeated the phrase “I deeply and completely accept myself even if I do not want to get better” - three times.  This seemed too much for me to grasp but my curiosity was now aroused. I took the first class I could in Thought Field Therapy, became certified and began using this strange technology with my clients.

I had a specialized camera, called an aura camera and always took aura photos before and after all my massages at the St. Therese Center. An aura camera photographs the electromagnetic field around the body and translates the field into a color photo. There was always a dramatic change in the colors between the before and after photos. I started taking aura photos before and after I did tapping sessions. If I used a Psychological Reversal during the session, the changes of the colors in the photos were much more dramatic.  It took a while before I understood what I was seeing but, after a while, I was able to understand what was happening. I could see the emotion that was stored in the body passing through the auric field.


Clearing the Aura

The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds your body; your personal sacred space. It is the living part of you that reads and absorbs energy and information from other people’s thoughts and other dimensions that most of us are unaware of. It is as important to become aware of how to care for your aura as it is to take care of any other part of your body; like your teeth or your digestive track. This is especially true if you are a body worker, medium, nurse or work closely with the emotional body of others. When I had an aura camera and worked as a massage therapist at the St. Therese Center for HIV and AIDS, my supervisor would take an aura photo of me before I started my day. It was blue and white and very balanced.  He would then take it again after a long day massaging people with serious physical and emotional problems.  At the end of the day the photo had a black ring around my face.  The aura was much darker, smaller and very uneven. This showed me that I was picking up heavy energy from my clients.  If I did not take a clearing bath, with at least a cup of baking soda, I would wake up with a migraine headache about three in the morning; this happened consistently.  Since I had my own aura camera, I would photograph things over and over again to be sure it wasn’t just a fluke or a one-time occurrence. This type of work can have even more of a draining effect than massage.  I always bathe in baking soda and sea salt (a cup) and lavender oil (3 drops) when I worked. This includes any work; even the little sessions I did on my friends and loved ones. Bathing works very well.

I would also recommend a technique I read in the book “Ghosts Among Us” by James Van Praagh.  He occasionally would become ill from the type of work he did.  He suggested that at the end of each day, you sit quietly and, while meditating, envision each client you worked with one by one.  As you envision them, see yourself disconnect from them and imagine your energy coming back to you as their energy goes away from you.  James Van Praagh said he has never had that drained feeling again
