This weekend I attended the PSYCH-K® Basic Workshop, facilitated by Sandra Wallin here in my home town of Maple Ridge, BC.

In my 15+ years of personal development, I have to say that this was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had.  I believe that PSYCH-K® is something that you have to be ready for, and I think that one of the reasons I got so much out of the workshop is because I was truly ready.

What is PSYCH-K®?

PSYCH-K® is a system that helps you to communicate directly with both your conscious and subconscious minds, and allows you to change old self-limiting beliefs that may no longer be serving you.

Robert M. Williams, M.A., the originator of PSYCH-K® states that “PSYCH-K® is a user-friendly way to rewrite the ‘software’ of your mind in order to change the ‘printout’ of your life.”

Any written description of PSYCH-K® doesn’t do it justice because it’s something that you have to really experience in order to appreciate / understand it.

How I First Heard of PSYCH-K®

I was first introduced to PSYCH-K® several years ago by Marielle Smith, who was one of my former coaches.  Marielle took the PSYCH-K® training program after our coaching relationship already transformed from coach/student into being friends, so she didn’t use PSYCH-K® during our coaching sessions back in 2006.  However, when she learned about PSYCH-K® and took the workshop, she was very excited about it and started telling me all about it.

To be honest, I didn’t really understand what was so great about PSYCH-K® when I first heard about it.  By that time I had already heard of many different “systems” out there which were designed to help people shift their beliefs, such as affirmations, EFT or even healing modalities such as Reiki or acupuncture which can influence our energy and/or beliefs.

So, even though Marielle was raving about PSYCH-K® ever since she first went to a workshop, I didn’t really resonate with it at first and I didn’t really feel any strong pull towards it at all.  That in itself is actually quite rare for me, because usually when it comes to any kind of personal development modality I am usually very interested in learning new stuff.

My First PSYCH-K® Session

My first PSYCH-K® session as a client came out of sheer desperation.  In 2007, my wife and I had moved out of our old home in Coquitlam, BC and moved into our beautiful new property in Maple Ridge, BC.  However, we still had our old house up for sale while we had already purchased our new home.

In 2008, after being on the market for over one year, we still had absolutely no interest in our home even after we reduced the price several times.  We couldn’t even get people to come and look at the house, let alone place an offer.  We tried a lot of different things to at least get people to look at the house but nothing seemed to work.  It almost seemed like the house was “cursed” or something.  It was really bizarre.

Anyway, one day I was having a chat with Marielle and she brought up that she had done her Advanced PSYCH-K® course and she was all excited about it, and I decided to ask her if she thought that PSYCH-K® could possibly help us to sell the house.  I figured that maybe I had some kind of limiting belief or “block” that was preventing us from making the sale.  Whatever it was, I couldn’t figure it out with any of the tools I had at my disposal.

Marielle agreed to do a session with us remotely.  Meaning, very similarly to how distance Reiki works, she was able to do a distance session with us so I never actually went to see her in person.  At that time I didn’t really have a lot of faith in the system, but since I didn’t even have to go see her in person I figured it doesn’t hurt to try.

What happened next blew me away.  Marielle called me to let me know that she did in fact find several limiting beliefs that she was able to balance for, and that she went ahead and balanced for them.  I can’t remember whether it was a Sunday night or  Monday night that she did the balances, but it was only two or three days later that we got a call from our Realtor saying that there was a couple that wanted to come see our house.

This was amazing.  Prior to that we were getting no interest in the house at all.  Several days later we had other people coming and we actually got an offer on the house just days after that.  Everything seemed to be going along nicely and we were almost at the point of selling the place when we hit another stumbling block.  One of the offers fell through with a really strange and ridiculous reason.  I think the person who placed the offer claimed that their BMW wouldn’t fit in the garage so the house didn’t pass their “inspection”.

This seemed like way too weird of a situation for me to see any logic in it, so I called up Marielle to see if there was perhaps some kind of block still in place.  She had told me before that often times once we clear one limiting belief, another one may surface down the road.  It may not be as large as the original, but sometimes it’s just something small that trips us up.

Sure enough she did another session and found another smaller limiting belief still there and she balanced for it.  Shortly after that we had another offer on the house and we sold it.

Now I know that it could have just been a “co-incidence” that we started getting offers within days of doing a PSYCH-K® balance, but I’ve experienced enough of these so called “co-incidences” in my life to realize that there is a lot more to them than the typical skeptic will admit.

What Happened Next

What happened next was even weirder.  Normally when something like this comes up and I see “proof” that it works, I jump all over it.  In this case, however, I was still not drawn towards PSYCH-K® at all.  I didn’t know why, but it was as if I wasn’t ready to learn about it yet.

So for the next few years I largely ignored PSYCH-K® even though Marielle demonstrated this almost miraculous result with just one simple remote session.  I can’t really tell you why I ignored it, except to say that it just felt like I wasn’t ready for it.

Then near the end of 2009 I started doing psychic development coaching with a friend of mine as well as taking some psychic development courses to really connect with my abilities.  At the same time I was all of a sudden really drawn to learn Reiki, so in January I took my Reiki Level I course and began doing Reiki as well.  Prior to January I had no desire to learn Reiki at all, it just kind of popped up one day and I had to learn it.

The Call to Learn PSYCH-K®

In March of this year, Marielle sent me an invitation to the PSYCH-K® Basic course she was hosting in Vancouver.  I’m on her email list so I’ve always been getting these and every other time I just ignored them.  However, for some reason I can’t explain, when I got that email and saw the invitation I instantly got “I have to learn PSYCH-K®” popping into my head.

Unfortunately, the workshop was on the same weekend as a big birthday event my wife and her family were planning for my father-in-law so there was no way I could miss his birthday to attend the workshop.  Maybe if I knew about it sooner I could have made it work, but I didn’t find out about it until last minute.

So, even thought I couldn’t attend that workshop I still totally wanted to learn PSYCH-K® for some reason.  It’s really weird because I can’t even explain why I was drawn to it.  It’s just a weird, nagging feeling that I needed to go and learn it so last week I registered for a PSYCH-K® Basic workshop that turned out to be just 15 minutes away from my house.

The Workshop

The workshop took place over two days, 7-8 hours each day and we had a group of six people plus our instructor, Sandra.  It was an amazing learning experience, and the science behind it really resonated with me.

I’m a huge believer in the power of beliefs as a force that has a massive influence on our lives.  Everything we think, say or do is filtered and colored by our beliefs and one of the biggest challenges to living a successful life is identifying and eliminating limiting beliefs that no longer serve us in life.

Every personal development process or technique on the planet is somehow intertwined with beliefs. Beliefs play a central role in achieving results in your life and are the missing puzzle piece in activating and making things like the Law of Attraction work.

The main challenge with beliefs is that the majority of them are subconscious, so we aren’t even aware that we have them.  The other challenge with beliefs is that most of them are programmed into our subconscious long before we’re even old enough to think for ourselves.  In fact, recent studies show that a developing fetus in a mother’s womb develops the perceptions and beliefs of it’s mother before even being born.

So, even an adopted child who has never met his or her biological mother after birth can be ‘programmed’ with his mother’s perceptions and potentially limiting beliefs from before birth.

For a coach who deals with people’s challenges of experiencing financial success in life, I very often come across individuals with many limiting beliefs related to money who have absolutely no recollection of where they even picked up such a limiting belief.

For example, someone might find that they have a really tough time running their own business and can only make progress when working with a partner.  They may find that in their own company they make absolutely no progress, while working with someone else is easy for them.  Something like this could easily be tied to a limiting belief they have related to venturing out on their own.  Perhaps because during their childhood their mother always told them to NEVER go anywhere without their brother or sister or a friend.  Many teachers teach this in class too.  You never go on a field trip without a partner.

While a belief like “It’s safer to do things with your best friend holding your hand” may be a very good survival tactic for an elementary school child, it could very well be at the root of why a 40 year old man can’t seem to get his own business going.  Every step they take may seem incredibly risky for some reason, unless they are working in partnership with someone else.   Not that there is anything wrong with partnerships, but some people would prefer to work on their own business and a limiting belief as silly as this one could be holding them back.  It makes me wonder if that kind of belief may be at the root of why so many women go to the bathroom in pairs.

This is just one small example of a subconscious belief, but the main point is that our beliefs control and rule our lives even if (and especially if) we aren’t aware of them.

PSYCH-K® at it’s most basic level is a process of bringing those subconscious limiting beliefs to the surface and then balancing/neutralizing them in a safe and simple way.

The whole PSYCH-K® process is beyond what I could cover in a Blog post like this, so I won’t even try, but I did want to share a part of my experience with you guys in case someone else also gets the PSYCH-K® “call”.

I will soon be offering PSYCH-K® sessions for my coaching / mentoring clients as a central part of my services and I plan on taking the Advanced training to be able to do PSYCH-K® remotely via telephone or Skype since that’s typically how I work with my clients.
