Q: What is PSYCH-K®?
PSYCH-K® is a simple process that provides direct communication with your subconscious mind, providing a unique way to identify and change "subconscious
beliefs", responsible for behaviors you would like to change and that
may be unconsciously sabotaging even your best intentions (i.e.
self-esteem, relationships, job performance, emotional and physical
health). It is a user-friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind
in order to change the printout of your life.
Q: Where did PSYCH-K® come from?
Rob Williams, M.A. is the originator of PSYCH-K®. For thirteen
years Rob was a practicing psychotherapist. PSYCH-K® came in 1988 as a
response to the frustration he felt realizing that traditional
counseling techniques, relying mostly on "insight", seldom created real
and lasting change. His background in business and psychotherapy created
a results oriented approach to personal change. PSYCH-K® was inspired
by a variety of processes, some contemporary and some ancient. It deals
with the part of the subconscious, which is capable of creating dramatic
and lasting changes quickly and easily.
Q: How does PSYCH-K® work?
PSYCH-K® evolved from years of split-brain research, also known
as brain dominance theory, as well as hundreds of sessions with groups
and individuals. By increasing the cross-talk between hemispheres, a
receptive state of mind is created that dramatically reduces resistance
to change at the subconscious level. The subconscious mind and the
beliefs it holds (similar to your computer programs and files) can be
accessed much like you might access a word document on your computer
hard drive, using a “mental keyboard” so to speak. It’s a user friendly
method of partnering with the subconscious.
Q: Is there any science available to back up PSYCH-K®?
Cellular Biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, co-produced a powerful DVD (The Biology or Perception, The Psychology of Change)
with Robert Williams that provides a logical, scientific and practical
way to understand and use these innovative new ideas. As you watch the
DVD, pieces begin to fit in place and come together as you see and
understand the nature of your mind/body connection. This DVD can be
viewed free online. See the LINKS tab of this website. This DVD is also available for purchase under the PRODUCTS and SERVICES tab. Feel free to visit BruceLipton.com for information about his research and his amazing book, The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles.
PSYCH-K has been transformational for thousands of people, and its
success over the years speaks for itself. Also available in the LINKS
tab is an article written by Dr. Jeff Fannin with the latest research using brain mapping with PSYCH-K processes.
Q: How is PSYCH-K unique?
PSYCH-K is a synthesis of a
variety of processes for change, some contemporary and some ancient.
While it shares certain characteristics with other methods, it is unique
in the following important ways:
PSYCH-K is easy-to-learn and easy-to-use. In a weekend workshop,
you can learn all that is necessary to make major changes for
yourself and others. PSYCH-K processes can be practiced alone,
with a friend, or with a trained facilitator.
PSYCH-K is a "do-with" process that depends predominantly on the
individual seeking change, not on the facilitator. PSYCH-K engages
and activates the inner resources of the subconscious and
superconscious minds. This approach honors the power and
responsibility of the individual in making the changes they seek.
PSYCH-K does not require that you understand or even remember the
event or trauma that led to the limiting belief. Unlike other
therapies that depend upon insight into the original experience,
with PSYCH-K you can simply change the belief.
PSYCH-K taps into your inner wisdom or superconscious connection,
which ensures that the goal and belief change will be safe and
appropriate for you. The built-in permission protocols are one of
PSYCH-K's most significant advantages.
The Superconscious Connection
- For
thousands of years, the idea of a superconscious mind has been a part
of human culture. Some refer to it as the Higher Self, Spirit, or Soul.
Although many mainstream scientists and psychologists continue to debate
its existence, the concept of the superconscious mind has been accepted
by some of the brightest intellects humanity has produced. This reality
of a spiritually expanded consciousness is an important bridge between
contemporary spirituality and contemporary psychology. PSYCH-K provides a
format that actively blends the two perspectives.
The Three Minds
- The
superconscious mind is different from our other two "minds." The
conscious (or volitional) mind sets goals and judges results. The
subconscious (or habitual) mind is programmed to respond to its
environment automatically. The superconscious mind is more like a caring
parent or teacher who watches over your development. Although the
superconscious is a valuable source of expanded awareness, it is
important to confer with rather than to defer to this
level of mind. A good student seeks to master the knowledge gained from a
teacher. Similarly, your conscious mind needs to learn how to integrate
the wisdom of the superconscious mind with the subconscious mind to
develop into a unified consciousness. In this state, correct action is
automatic because intuition, volition, and action become ONE.
Q: What if I don’t want to share my personal problems with the group?
The workshop focuses on learning how to do PSYCH-K® with yourself and
others. While practicing the balances in class, we use pre-printed belief
statements that will support you in learning and doing PSYCH-K®.
PSYCH-K® is respectful of ones privacy and changes can take place
privately with only the individual knowing what the issue is. Working
with personal issues usually occurs in private sessions and only comes
up in a workshop if a participant chooses to bring them up.
Q: Who can attend a workshop?
Due to its simplicity, this workshop would be appropriate for anyone
interested in making positive changes in their own life and/or helping
others. Previous participants have included: parents, students,
counselors, therapists, physicians, nurses, message therapists,
teachers, coaches, as well as people who have tried everything else and
still aren’t where they want to be.
Q: Can PSYCH-K help my practice?
PSYCH-K is ideal for
practitioners looking for new ways to help their clients improve their
overall quality of life. PSYCH-K works synergistically with any
healing practice. Some of the people in the healing professions who
have taken PSYCH-K workshops include therapists, energy healers,
medical professionals, life coaches, and clergy. If you are interested
in incorporating PSYCH-K into your practice, you will want to take
both the Basic and Advanced PSYCH-K workshops.
Q: Is there an age requirement to attend?
How old you are is less important then a desire to learn PSYCH-K®,
understand the concepts, participate in the "hands on" learning
experience and understand the importance of changing beliefs.
Q: How does PSYCH-K® work with my religion?
By identifying and releasing subconscious resistance you may be consciously unaware of,
PSYCH-K® can enhance your connection to God, the Universe or Divinity
and support your personal religious or spiritual beliefs.
Q: What if I don’t experience a change?
If this occurs, it would be helpful to ask yourself, "What benefit do I gain from the old thoughts or behaviors?"
When this is considered openly and honestly; the result is usually
quite profound and revealing. You may choose to do additional balances
taking into consideration the "secondary gain benefits," which resulted in manifesting the behaviors or situation.
