Happy 20th Birthday PSYCH-K!
It’s a bit mind boggling to realize that 20 years ago on December 11th, PSYCH-K was born. It was the day the first of several patterns for personal change showed up in my head. As I have admitted in my book PSYCH-K…The Missing Piece Peace In Your Life, it wasn’t a particularly centered or spiritual moment. On the contrary, I was very angry at myself for making some ridiculous errors on a flyer I was preparing for a different workshop I was teaching at the time. In a fit of rage, I closed my eyes and said out loud, “Okay, God if you don’t want me to do this, what do you want me to do?!” I didn’t really expect an answer, but in the next few moments I began to see a scroll-like message appearing in my mind’s eye. Since this had never happened to me before, I paid particular attention to the words. I immediately began to type the words into my computer. I received several other patterns, in a similar way, over the course of the next few months. This was the beginning of the odyssey called PSYCH-K.
Over the course of the next 9 years I used these patterns in my private counseling practice and began to teach the principles and processes to others in a workshop format. PSYCH-K was so successful at speeding up the process of change in people’s lives that I was constantly amazed and mystified. This was nothing like I had been taught in graduate school, or had experienced in my exploration of various mind/body healing modalities. This was different… very different. It was simple, straightforward, and remarkably effective.
By the time I was entering my 9th year of using PSYCH-K, I realized that I couldn’t keep up with the demand for teaching the patterns to others all by myself. The answer was obvious. Teach others to teach it! In 1997 I taught a small group of individuals to be Certified PSYCH-K Instructors. I was determined to keep the standards of instruction as high as possible in order to honor what I considered to be a sacred trust to share this information with others.
Today there are 43 Certified PSYCH-K Instructors world-wide. The workshops have been taught on most of the major continents around the world. Tens of thousands of people have made positive changes in their lives by learning and doing PSYCH-K, with themselves and others. While PSYCH-K can be used by mental healthcare professionals, it can also be learned and used by anyone desiring to create a better life for themselves. Ages of workshop participants have ranged from as young as 8 years old to over 80!
When I first began using this amazing information I characterized it as a kind of psychological tool with some spiritual benefits. Over the course of the last 20 years, I have come to understand its deeper implications. Yes, it can be used to shift subconscious beliefs and perceptions, to modify undesirable behaviors and thought patterns, and to leverage mind/body interaction, but that is not its greatest gift.
In my opinion, its greatest gift is to assist in the acceleration of individual and global spiritual evolution by aligning subconscious beliefs with conscious wisdom from the world’s great spiritual and intellectual traditions. In other words, how would you like your life to look as wise as the books you’ve read?! When your subconscious mind accepts the wisdom that your conscious mind has read about, joy becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, rather than a day-to-day struggle. The practical application of this wisdom in our personal and professional lives brings a greater sense of self-empowerment, purpose, satisfaction and peace. As we shift the consciousness of our individual minds, we shift the collective consciousness of humanity. By shifting the collective consciousness of humanity we create a better world.
I invite you to join me in making a better world.
