Just curious, is there anyone in the Denver area that would be interested in doing

a little work with me?  I've been working solo and am getting such wildly skewed 

and just plain wrong information that I'm about ready to give it up.  Is it possible

that there can get to be a "ghost in the machine"?  Are there some things we are 

just not going to get accurate responses on?

thanks,

Kristin

Hello Kristin,

I'm not in the Denver area but I was curious what you meant about
wildly skewed and wrong information. Do you mean your answers and
information you're receiving regarding your muscle testing? I'm going
to guess that's what you mean. If I'm wrong please let me know. When I
first started off with Psych-K I couldn't get an accurate self-muscle
test no matter what I did. It really frustrated me. So I told a friend
of mine about it and she said let's do a Balance for you that says, "I
get clear and accurate answers every time I self-muscle test."

Ever since that one Balance I've been able to self-muscle test without
any problems or information. I love it. It's possible you (like a lot
of people when they start off) have some internal doubts about the
process and so the subconscious isn't comfortable and confident with
it yet. Once it relaxes and knows it's okay you can do great things
and it becomes pretty easy.

I hope I was targeting the right thing and it helps. If not, please
tell some more if you can.

Cheers,

Jas

Hello Kristin,
I agree with Jas on this, and I'd also like to add a little more.
Sometimes it may seem as if the balances or the statements we are shown to
balance for have nothing to do with the situation we may be dealing with..
I would encourage you to just allow the process, and rather than questioning
whether what you receive is wildly skewed and just plain wrong; Accept it
and Go With It. Let go of any form outcome and attachment.
It is amazing and mind-blowing when you just TRUST THE PROCESS. Your current
perceptions may see it as wildly skewed and just plain wrong, when in
reality it may be exactly what needs to be balanced.
Remember that the wisdom is always in the room.
Sincerely
Rita

Kristen, I will be traveling to Denver in Dec 2nd - 7th. Perhaps we could  meet up if you desire. I agree with the  what the other responders have said. Also you could check to see if the statement PSYCH-K works for me is balanced as well. Sheryl

[Kristin Strachan]

thanks for your interest.

When I say skewed, I mean that I don't get consistent responses to the same 

statement, even within a few minutes of testing.

I have been balancing for a weight issue, coming at it from a number of different

angles.  These balances seem to hold for a day or two, then the same statement

comes up weak. I sort of thought that once the subconscious had accepted a balance

that it was there permanently.

What really put me into doubt was that recently I had tested repeatedly regarding

my approach and chances for an employment possibility, and tested very strongly

that I had done well and the job was mine.  Not one weak response.  It has shaken

my confidence in this procedure that the job went to someone else.  It's not the job

so much as my trust in the process.  If if didn't reveal truth in that event, does it

reveal truth anywhere in my experience?  That's why I asked about the ghost in 

the machine.  What is it that would "lie" in this process?

I suspect that it is probably possible to get sideways with this thing when we work 

solo all the time.  I haven't read all the responses to my post yet, but with the

holiday under my belt now, I will read and respond to all who have offered assistance.

thank you!

Kristin

ps, I did balance for clear and accurate answers every time, and can't say that it

has seemed to change much.

Dear Kristin:   I agree with the other responses to your message that you have to trust the process.   I do not believe that everytime we do a balance, however, that it is permanent.  The balance, in my experience,  holds only if we do not have other  beliefs that are  creating further resistance.   If the sum of the negative beliefs in the unconsious are greater than the positive beliefs, even after doing a Psych-k balance, it may not hold.   That's why in addition to the basic balances, there are other balances, particuarly, the core  belief  balance and the relationship balance.    A problem like low self-esteem or over eating is being held in place by numerous beliefs.  Unless you can get at all the negative beliefs that are supporting a problem, more balances are needed to create that permanancy. Hence,  Using a core belief balance or relationship balance may be what's needed.   That's why its important to ask "Are there other beliefs that need to be balanced to support this belief."   While PSYCH-K is based on scientific principals like whole brain research and what we know about how the conscious and subconcious work; it is also based on ritual and higher-consciousness, things that we can really only understand intuitively.   "Doing PSYCK-K " to me is more of an art then a science.     And to my knowledge there is no hard scientific evidence  supporting any thing that is taught, other than the antedotal experience of those who have used it.   A great deal of the power of psych-k may well be more placebo than anything else.   I don't get 100% positive results everytime I use it. But I get result enought of the time to continue using it. It helps me and my clients, so I trust it.   In the end, it may be all about trust/faith, positive entention.       I once  read that there are 600 different types of psychotherapy interventions and that each works to some degree.  Researchers who study these kinds of things concluded that it was not the intervention used that matter so much, but what mattered most was the kind of relationship that the therapist had with his patient that  made the technique effective or not.   Using psych-k for me is  a way for me to create a positve entention of faith for myself and my client's healing.  In some mysterious way, psych-k helps me to connect with the field of consciousness that we are all a part of and recieve what I and my clients need.   Sincerely,   Frank               --- On Fri, 11/27/09, Kristin Strachan <ourho...@hotmail.com> wrote:

Frank, you mentioned intention.  My intention with PSYCH-K is that everything my system can do in one balance to balance for the goal it will do.  My experience is that I don't have to balance for lots of statements.  I also bring emotion to the balances (remember, make your statements emotionally meaningful, short, positive, first person, present tense).  For me I find that if I get into the feeling of my statement (or the other person's) I get the best results.  Yes, sometimes I have to balance for more things but usually it is a new angle that is revealed through the last balance. Your beliefs about your beliefs and PSYCH-K will show up in your practice of PSYCH-K.  Make it easy and fun!

Thank you, that was a very good and comprehensive answer. 

There seem to be so many things that can affect response outcomes that

repetition and persistence seem to be an important factor.

Pat,

Your question is too general. What are you seeing different with this "Autistic Child", and what specifically is it that either the child or parent or you is wanting to  balance for?

 Autistic, autism, asperger's syndrome, developmentally delayed, adhd, capd   plus many more so called "learning disabilities" are labels we  place too freely on many human beings and I believe these labels change the way we associate and see these individuals. The word autistic can mean anything from completely non verbal, shut down, and dependent to completely outgoing, independent with above average intelligences. We are all unique individuals with many different strengths ( multiple intelligences), that are overlooked when we base who we are on these  labels. No two people are exactly the same, and this applies to "Autistic" children.  "Remove" the word autistic, get to know the child, and begin from there.

Sincerely

Rita

Kristin:   I see that you are  Reiki practioner. I was wondering, what are your thoughts about any similarities between the process of Reiki and Psych-k.  Both envolve ritual, right?  Is a psych-k balance like an attunment?      I can't help myself from wanting to understand how these things work.    Frank

[Pat Levesque]

Rita,   thanks for your comments.   I find the “tone” of your message unhelpful.  I regret I made the original post.   I really wasn’t looking for a lecture.   Kind regard,   Pat 

[Pat Levesque]

No, Bowen Therapy is type of body therapy that was developed by Tom Bowen in Australia in the 60’s.

Hi Pat,

Personally I'm glad you made the original post. I wasn't in any way wanting to make this seem like a lecture. I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention the labels we all sometimes put on people, and  I believe this is really important for all of us to keep in mind.

Thanks Rita,  

 

I offered to do Psych-K to the mother of a  17 year old male attending a special needs school who has recently started to pee and pooh in his pants at school after lunch.   The mother believes that her child is doing this because of anxiety of being placed with another child at lunch time who rushes her child to eat fast etc.    Plus her son recently has started poking his mom saying, hurray up we got to go and this poking behavior is new and she thinks that is what the other class mate may be doing to her son.

 

The mother has asked the principle of the school to change children that her son sits with for lunch to solve the problem.  

 

She did not take up my offer on doing Psych-K yet??   She is a new acquaintance of mine so hopefully she will open up to Psych-k at some time in the future.

Hi Pat,

I'm going to throw in some thoughts,  suggestions and some things that may be useful in this particular situation.

All behavior is a form of communication. What is he wanting to communicate?

 

When Dealing with   "Challenging behaviors"  and When in doubt always assume that you are dealing with "a fear of separation".

 Looking at the behavior from this place, our job is to look beneath the behavior, and figure out what may be causing this.

 

Everything needs to be looked at.

The antecedents:

What happens immediately before the behavior occurs?

Yes, it could be as simple as someone poking him at lunch, and it could be much more than this.

Is this a new school for him?

Does he have a new teacher?

Does he have his own SEA, is this a new SEA for him, ?

What about his immediate past?

Has anything changed at home, etc etc.

What happens after the behavior occurs?

What are the reinforcers of this behavior.

What attention does he get from this?

 Does he get more attention or less?

Does he get separated from the rest of the class?

Does he get to home etc etc.

 

Hopefully the school is looking into all of this and implementing something to begin working with.

 It can be very frustrating  and  I'm sure Mom is feeling very anxious and worried about all of this. When I remember to look at my own children's "problem behaviors" as a  fear of separation either real or perceived,  I soften my heart,  because even though some of their  behaviors may seem as if they are deliberate acts to upset  me, (which will only make me react  in a way which creates more separation), I  see this as a cry for love, or attention which isn't being met the way the child needs it to be met.  This reminds to Always Offer More Proximity than is being pursued .

 

We all believe that as our children grow older they need less attention from us,  and yet the truth is that they sometimes need more.

When dealing with children of any age, and we notice a new or challenging behavior,  preserving the relationship at all costs is the answer. We want to provide a strong attachment. As  parents and teachers we need to  find ways to build the relationship, rather than destroy it. Sometimes separating a child, or taking away something because of the behavior is what continues to cause more separation and more problem behaviors.  (This is what I mean when I say destroy it).

If anyone would like more info  on this, Dr. Gordon Neufeld is the expert. His website is http://www.gordonneufeld.com

From there you can find  more information about the importance of this paradigm both for parents and professionals working with children.

 

The Power to Teach, and The Power To Parent, are DVD's which can be purchased from his website and explain in detail  the importance of attachment and relationships..

Sometimes the way we deal with these behaviors can stop the undesired behavior, yet what it may also do is suppress it, and a new one can spring up in it's place.

 

I am by no means an expert, other than  I have my own child who has had a special needs label attached to her, and I understand the frustration as a parent. 

 I have recently begun working in the school system as a casual  SEA . I walk the maze daily, and some days, I have my own tears about what doesn't seem to be working, and I have my frustrations about how we have to do tings as an SEA. At the same time, the biggest message stressed to our class when I was in training was that every child is different, and we need to get to know each child no matter what disability they may have.

 

 I'm grateful for PSYCH-I, because it helps me with this work. When I first began working as an SEA,  I made a commitment to myself  that I would always do my best to listen and stay neutral. I do my very best to  leave many of my own biases at the door before I enter the classroom and begin working with the child. My goal is to build a relationship with all children I work with, because without this attachment  it is very difficult to have a connection and to create a safe environment from which to grow and learn.

 

I hope this helps with some ideas. I know I have probably said more than you wanted, however if you have any more questions I would be honored to help and you can contact me directly at rit...@telus.net
