• Are you now 100 percent back in your physical body and 100 percent back in the present time?

• Have you integrated the healing of this stolen soul part 100 percent at all levels from the energetic origin through all time to the present?

• Is your soul 100 percent free of any karmic claims or attach-ments from the evil one who stole part of your soul?

• Are you and I both 100 percent free of any and all super- natural contamination from this work we have done?

With respect to the last question, if there is any residual contamination, ask via MMT for the best interventions to clear all supernatural contaminants.

When these issues are resolved, ask if you and your client need to work together any further to facilitate conscious integration.

This is an abbreviated guide to give you an idea of just what is involved.

Like most things in life, as you open yourself up to more of what is possible, you will encounter this more often and your clients will be the beneficiaries of your work.

If the client has a current-life situation and the soul stealer is still alive, the process to follow is very different. In these cases, energetic boundary work, relationship work, or shamanic interventions are frequently required.

As we continue to explore our capacity to cause injury to other life forms on our garden planet, it seems more important now than ever before (as our popu- lation continues to inexorably increase) to be mindful of our shadow side. If we can learn to recognize and acknowledge how powerful and damaging our

proclivity to hurt others is, I believe we can, through the power of our col-lective intention, turn the tide from a growing trend of worldwide violence and overcome these powerful forces of darkness to create a true haven for all living beings. We have the means. We just need the will and sufficient understanding about these forces in order to know that these forces can be overcome.

I ^NTRUSIONS

ynamic Energetic Healing® recognizes that supernatural phenomena are inherent in the unusual energies and occurrences that interfere with your life. In fact, a fundamental feature of the Dynamic Energetic Heal-ing® approach is counteracting these phenomena effectively.

When a client is depressed after suffering a significant personal loss, part of my job is to help them come to terms with what they are really feeling.

Depression classically presents a flattened affective state that often borders on inertia. When a depressed person comes into my office, I feel the entire room hang with a solemn quietude of resignation and withdrawal, devoid of any joy and aliveness. Who would guess that within this quiet despair often lies tremendous anger bordering on rage? This anger is unseen and often unknown even to the client. The individual knows something is wrong because there is evidence of something detracting from their normal activities. This evidence may be a loss of appetite, a strong desire to stay in bed all day, and a seem-ing inability to connect with other human beseem-ings. The individual feels these things, and therefore they are subjectively determined to be real. With the help of a good therapist, the client can return to a state of emotional wholeness and well-being. And yet, many individuals remain chronically depressed, anxious, or unhappy.

Even though many aspects of clinical psychology are subjective and

“unseen,” the medical community vehemently denies and dismisses that which is called supernatural. Instead, they embrace the paradigm that subjective

states are often the result of biochemical imbalance. Their intervention of choice is prescribing powerful pharmaceutical drugs that significantly alter the brain biochemistry and thereby modify your mood. Cognitive-behavioral therapists embrace a model in which individuals must change their thinking in order to positively affect their behavior.

Hypnotherapists try to bypass the conscious, rational thinking processes of the personality and direct their interventions to the subconscious mind.

Hypnosis has become a legitimate and acceptable therapeutic intervention, even among the conservative medical community. What exactly is the sub-conscious mind? I do not know, nor do I believe that any ten therapists and/or medical doctors who work with the subconscious would agree on any con-sistent definition of the term. This is because we are dealing with something subjective. The Random House Websterʼs College Dictionary (1992) defines subjective as

1. existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to-the object of thought (opposed to objective). 2. pertaining to or characteristic of an individual; personal: a subjective evaluation. . . . 4.-Philos. relating to or of the nature of an object as it is known in the mind as distinct from a thing in itself.

My point is that if something is felt, sensed, or somehow just known intui- tively, it is a subjective experience and therefore cannot be proven to anyone else. If I am in a restaurant and suddenly become aware of a tingling sensa-tion around my scalp or an alarming image that persists in my awareness, these are subjective experiences that ought not be dismissed. As a process- oriented psychotherapist, I have trained myself to become exquisitely sensi-tive to perceive an ongoing, all-inclusive field of awareness. This includes all that is my own experience, my clientsʼ experience, and what is going on in the expanded interpersonal field when I am working with clients.

Whether I call these seemingly unexplained phenomena dark energy, the paranormal, or the supernatural, they can act on us at any time. For this dis-cussion I will use intrusion to describe something generic that fits in this cate- gory. Various shamanic traditions of indigenous peoples describe an intrusion as an outside or external negative energy that is often regarded as a source or cause of illness. When such an intrusion has been identified through the assis-tance of the shamanʼs helping spirits, the shaman uses specific techniques to

extract or remove the intrusion in an effort to restore the health of the patient.

These shamanic traditions are cross-cultural, and their awareness of the pro-found negative influence of intrusions is widely known.

Based on my many years of training and practice in shamanic healing techniques, I can vouch for the veracity of intrusions. What I “see” as an intrusion when I am working with a client is from my own internal sensing or perception—it is subjective. After having an intrusion extracted, many of my clients experience a progressively increasing sense of calm and peace, in contrast to their previous agitation or anxiety.

I believe the best way I can explain the strong negative impact that intru-sions can have on us is by sharing a personal experience. A few years ago, one of my sisters-in-law was getting married in Denver, Colorado. My fam-ily and I flew to the Mile High City, rented a car at the airport, and drove to our hotel (affiliated with a popular national chain) in downtown Denver. We were to stay there for two days, after which we were heading to Estes Park in the Rockies for a week of hiking. When I made the reservation, I specifically requested a nonsmoking room; I was told that although the hotelʼs policy for-bade them to guarantee it, there would not be a problem.

As soon as we got to the front desk to check in, things became very strange. We had to wait about ten minutes before talking to a desk clerk because ahead of us was an irate man and his family complaining that when they had opened the door to their room, there was already a family in there.

The gentleman behind the front desk appeared very flustered, unable to comprehend how this could have happened. While we waited, he worked frantically at his computer to resolve the mix-up. Then it was my turn. When the agent looked up my name and reservation number on his computer, he gave me two keys and the room number and told me we were all set. Just to double-check, I asked him if the room was nonsmoking—it wasnʼt. I told him I had been assured that it would be no problem, and it seemed unbelievable to me that there would not be a nonsmoking room available in this enormous hotel. Suddenly, for reasons I could only explain later, I was in this poor manʼs face angrily yelling at him, demanding that he get us a nonsmoking room. (My wife said later that she stood by speechless as I angrily cursed this man out!) As the clerk once again began frantically consulting his com-puter, I noticed that there was a third problem at the reception desk—an older couple was having words with another agent. After what seemed like another ten minutes, our poor, very put-upon agent told me he had rearranged some

other reservations (of people who had not yet arrived) so we could have our nonsmoking room.

As we made our way up to our room, my wife asked me what had got into me. I grinned sheepishly; I didnʼt know. I had never yelled at a desk clerk before, and it is not my temperament to become irascible. I was happy that I had represented my need for a smoke-free room (since I canʼt stand that stale, squalid smell of old cigarettes), but I mused about my “irrational” reaction.

Little did I know that the entire hotel was contaminated by dark energy.

This initial incident was a prelude to other intrusions that came as a result of our stay at this hotel. Over the next couple of days, strange things happened to us that might easily (but erroneously) be explained as mere coincidences.

Shortly after settling into our room, my then nine-year-old sonʼs nose began to bleed. This wasnʼt particularly alarming because he had had nosebleeds in the past, but his nose continued to bleed on and off throughout our stay at the hotel, which was unusual. When we got to Estes Park at an even higher elevation, the nosebleeds stopped. To me, this eliminated the argument that the recurrent bleeding was simply due to the high elevation.

Another strange incident occurred in the hotel restaurant. At about 9:30-P.M. we decided to eat a late dinner at the hotel. The restaurant closed at 10 ^P.^M., and we were the last people being served. The waitress took our orders, and our meals arrived about twenty minutes later, except for one. The waitress didnʼt say anything as she left, so we assumed that Sandiʼs meal would be coming right up. After another ten minutes, we sought out the wait-ress to inquire about Sandiʼs meal. She had totally forgotten the order. She apologized and went to speak to the cook. A minute later she returned, some-what perplexed—the cook had just left! She did not understand this highly unusual behavior, because the cook always stayed past ten oʼclock to make preparations for the next day. The waitress finally got hold of the manager, who cooked Sandiʼs meal himself. Needless to say, we were all very upset.

I-thought this was very strange, but I still had not connected all the dots.

It wasnʼt until the next night, at our lodging in Estes Park, that an experi-ence finally pulled it all together for me. Our modest cabin had old knotty-pine paneling and basic amenities. It was clean and comfortable, certainly adequate as a base camp for five days of hiking. I never have problems sleep-ing, but that night at about 3 A.M. I was awakened by a very frightening night-mare. I am not prone to nightmares and frequently do not even remember my dreams in the morning. But this was more of a night vision of demonic

intru-sion. I remember seeing a malevolent or demonic entity coming toward me with the intent to kill me. I felt outright terror. I woke up with a start, sweating and physically adrenalized. My heart was pounding, I was disoriented in the dark, and I feared for my life.

I took a couple of deep breaths and regained my bearings, after which I immediately began tapping on EFT meridian points (see chapter 20, “Emo-tional Freedom Techniques”) to calm myself. After a few repetitions, I muscle tested myself to inquire about what had happened. To my surprise, I had picked up an intrusion that fit the category of demonic possession or angry ghost—it was probably a disoriented, angry earthbound spirit.

It has been my experience that malevolent intrusions are few and far between. Most intrusions are some kind of outside negative energy that, although annoying and troublesome, is not malevolent or dangerous. This was an exception. After reflecting on this new information, I determined to locate the intrusionʼs origin. I first thought this might be something I picked up from the cabin—this was not the case. I continued to inquire with the help of my own muscle testing and found out that this angry ghost had attached itself to me during our stay at the Denver hotel. I suddenly had the ah-ha experience of awareness. Our hotel was contaminated with something that was affecting everyone in the collective field, something that I might call dark energy! All the pieces fit together: my uncharacteristically angry response at the front desk, my sonʼs persistent nosebleeds, and the debacle in the restaurant. I sud-denly realized and knew for an empirical fact that physical locations retain and emit their own energy field, which we are always open to absorb and be affected by. This can happen in a hotel room, a doctorʼs office, an ashram or church, even a beautiful place in nature.

All at once, a great deal of what I had experienced made sense to me.

I-realized that I was experiencing my dreaming body, or what Mindell also calls the dreambody. My unusual perceptions were the result of training my second attention to become sensitive to the sensations of my physical body and of my expanded awareness of whatever in the field might catch my atten-tion and disturb my normal identity.

The dreambody experience supports a nondualistic orientation to life that enables shapeshifting into fluid identities. This orientation challenges the consensus-reality paradigm that we are simply static, consistent, and predictable personalities. Actively embracing the dreambody experience supports a fluid identity that provides the flexibility to move into the dreaming experience of

whatever moods, feelings, visions, or perceptions disturb or intrude into an individualʼs awareness.

Increasing awareness is an outcome of the dreambody experience, but even more importantly, the experience speaks to the deeper issue of who we believe ourselves to be. Culturally determined expectations ensure that we conform to the collective trance. “According to Buddha, suffering is due to attachment to identity, to consensus reality” (Mindell 2000b, 539). Mindell (2000b, 509–11) explains that

The dreambody is to your ordinary experience of the body as the antimatter particle is to the ordinary particle. The dreambody is your bodily sense of another world. Most people pay attention to this sense only when it has become a strong symptom they fear will annihilate them. The dreambody is the body experience shamans use to travel between the worlds. . . . The dreambody has been thought of as a subtle substance not directly apparent to our ordinary senses. Some-times it is seen as a ghost or an angel, images that indicate our sense of the dreambody as a piece of human-like intelligence and communica-tion ability inherent in all of nature. In all these cases, the dreambody was a second body, universally thought of as an intelligent source of life, part of the river or the continuum of existence in death.

I have always been sensitive to the energetic influence in the interpersonal context. But this Colorado experience created a paradigm shift for me, and it is why I create a sacred space wherever I work. It is also why I smudge myself and my entire office with sage after a session—I clean my personal field of any negative energy that I may have unwittingly picked up or absorbed from my clients. By doing this, I prevent myself from picking up outside negative energies, and I protect my clients from absorbing the negative energy released from clients in prior sessions. I also internally visualize my chakras to deter-mine if I am still energetically linked to my previous client at any of these energy centers. It is often the case that I am—I perceive congested areas in one or more of my chakras. I then visualize hollow tubes attached to the affected energy centers and watch the congested energy that I absorbed from the client drain into the center of the earth. When this process is completed, my chakras come back into balance with a soft glow of radiant energy. Then I know I am no longer merged energetically with my previous client.

It took me fifteen or twenty minutes to completely release every trace of that earthbound spirit attachment so I could sleep peacefully through the rest of the night. Though I was disturbed from the shock and terror of the experi-ence, I had successfully detraumatized myself so that I could reflect on the experience objectively. As I was drifting off to sleep, I felt excited by my new discovery.

Since then, I always muscle test when I am traveling to be certain that my hotel room or sleeping space is free of dark energy. Since I always take a non-smoking room and I donʼt want to set off the alarm by burning sage, I have found that my Tibetan bell works just as well in clearing the space of any out-side negative energies that may linger from prior occupants (see part 2). What I now know to be true is that people leave their energy behind, even as they take it with them. This energy is information that can sometimes be picked up by the dreamingbody like different radio frequencies if a personʼs reception is sensitive enough. With good energetic boundaries, this information can be accessed and found to be useful. With poor energetic boundaries, this infor-mation can be intrusive and even harmful. Since that profound experience in Colorado, I have never experienced another intrusion while traveling. I have, however, encountered other contexts in which I have been contaminated by intrusions. These include my acupuncturistʼs office and my dentistʼs office.

In each of these contexts, I came in for some medical treatment. My normal experience after receiving treatment from each practitioner is symp-tom resolution and increasing physical well-being. However, on a few rare occasions, I felt progressively worse after one of these treatments. Initially, I attributed my ongoing physical distress to tight or sore muscles (or, in the case of the dentist, residual soreness from the pressure and the vibration of drill-ing). But when the experience continued to worsen over a period of days, it finally occurred to me to muscle test myself in an effort to discover what else
