Re: “the healing code”

The following seems to encapsulate nicely the book’s method and message

Rather than write a review, I will post the handout that I've written for my therapy clients:

Stress Pressure Points

Use these when bothered by negative emotions, such as fear, worry, anger, stress. They lower the body’s stress level, and also allow you to rewrite your subconscious beliefs that cause stress (the issues of the heart).

Stress Pressure Points
1. Bridge of the nose (between eyebrows)
2. Neck (Adam’s apple)
3. Point of the jaw (on each side, at the same time)
4. Temples (on each side, at the same time)

Do pressure points with fingertips (both hands, all fingers at the same time) for about 30 seconds each. Repeat if desired. You can do them several times a day; the authors recommend 6 minute sessions, three times a day. You can lightly touch the pressure points, lightly tap them, or hold the fingertips a couple inches above the pressure point, according to the authors.

Affirmations: While doing the pressure points, repeat to yourself the truths (or affirmations) that you want to believe about yourself, that you are having a hard time believing. Usually these will be the opposite of whatever problems you are having. For example, if you are having a hard time feeling motivated, the opposite truth would be, “I can get this done.” Positively worded truths are more powerful than ones containing a “not” in them (such as, “I won’t procrastinate”). Also be sure that you aren’t lying to yourself. “Everything will be okay” might not be true. But “I can handle this, I can make it through this” is much more likely to be true. Here are some more examples:

1. I can love and care for others
2. I can feel joy
3. I can do hard things
4. It wasn’t my fault
5. I am loved and accepted
6. People will be there for me
7. My needs will be met
8. I’m a good person
9. People can forgive me for my mistakes

Core Beliefs: Some psychologists suggest that problems with self-esteem usually come down to the core questions of “Am I loveable, am I capable, and am I worthy?” If you believe this may be true for you, a suggested truth statement would be, “I am loveable, I am capable, and I am worthy.” An alternative to the last part would be, “I am forgivable, and I can forgive others.” The authors have observed that working on issues of forgiveness often helps resolve other issues of the heart (by releasing subconscious negative beliefs that cause stress).

If you aren’t sure what truths to focus on, you can also think about a time when you have felt very loved.

Results: This technique was researched for 6 years before the results were published. Stress tests with this technique have shown that it dramatically lowers the heart stress level. Benefits are still observable more than a week after use. Reported results range from dramatic immediate improvements in symptoms and beliefs about oneself, to gradual improvement over the course of a year of doing the technique.

Chart: Track your results (rate how you felt before and after doing the technique, between 1 and 10; 1 = great). The authors recommend using the technique consistently until you are down to a 1 on the main issue that is bothering you.

((Curiously, but perhaps in the interests of de-mystification, he left out the ‘setup’ payer…(As with EFT, which the healing code claims is no relation- there is a setup—this time a prayer that reminds me a lot of what’s at the heart of Ho’oponopono))


here it is:

The Healing Codes set up statement: “I request (or pray) that all known and unknown images, beliefs, cellular memories, and all physical issues related to [state the problem] be found opened and healed by filling me with the love, life, and light of [God or The Universe]. I also ask that this healing be increased by 100 times or more.”



I'm sure that this prayer/request can be slightly modified, and improved upon, but the gist of it feels good. (That is, 'true') One thing I can see adding -although it may be covered under "beliefs", is misperceptions. Then again, what we are working through, with this kind of healing, IS misperceptions that resulted in beliefs stored in the form of 'pictures', which caused.... dis-ease, or "stress", which causes illness, and every sort of suffering..


I just finished reading the book, and have started giving the method an honest try -- for barely two days. Nothing to report, as yet, EXCEPT a flood of images, ( almost like if you fanned a deck of cards, and kept doing this, every so often)that tell me I have nowhere near finished with the work of forgiveness/clearing. These images are more subtle, and the feelings associated more muddled, and initially it's been disheartening-->>the sense that (in many cases) what I've worked on for the past several decades, still persists in another form.

I'd have to call them ( at this moment in my understanding, for lack of a better metaphor) the many, many copies (or reverberations) of the original images (or stored misperceptions). Almost like a computer virus, replicating, behind the scenes. Which does give me some hope that the 'computer can be de-bugged. The thing with the forgiveness, is I see I've worked on others, and not enough (as the cliche goes) on forgiving myself. The fact is, I think it is hard to 'forgive oneself', since one doesn't at some deep level, the level of trauma, feel equipped to be the forgiver.  This is where "prayer" has its place--and also, where people stumble, since so many wounds are spiritual and/or religious in makeup. One of the things this book goes into, some people feel at too much length, is the idea of what we call "stress", and what constitutes it, in terms of these pictures that contain a "lie". The lie equates to a misperception of events, often at a pre-verbal level.

It's a really bizarre thing, but I normally start a book at the end, then go to the start, then flip through it,alternating front to back--and then maybe go in one direction:front to back, if I really respect the work, and feel it has great depth or "truth". (I use quotes only because the word itself is overused) This is the first book in a long while I can recall reading from front to back, without skipping ahead. I WAS impatient to get to the actual 'code', but very much appreciated the
preliminaries, which in my view are the whole foundation, and rather profound, in their simplicity.
