Moving Story Proves Regular PSYCH-K Is Good For You

(From the bowels of the Success factory; we've never stooped so low)

I received the following e-mail from the lovely and estimable Mary Trenfield in Bristol, UK. Mary is hot on the trail of becoming a Certified (Qualified) PSYCH-K Instructor. She did a marvelous job of detective work here; I'll outline her process in "The Inside Story" for those of you who have studied PSYCH-K.
_______________

Last week "Constance" came for help regarding the problem that she has with her bowel movements. Now in her mid-twenties, she has had this problem since she was four. Constance suffers from chronic constipation and can go for two weeks between bowel movements. Then she has diarrhea. She has visited numerous specialists and has had several procedures. She has had lots of counseling and has taken nutritional advise. Nothing has worked for her. The problem is very distressing to her and causes her discomfort every day.

It took us a while to get to the bottom (as it were) of this problem. [Mary made this joke, not me! ˜ Ed.] We muscle tested a variety of possibilities, eventually discerning that the problem had to do with a relationship with a man from her childhood. Constance told me that this man had attempted to murder his wife whilst Constance and her mother were visiting. The incident took place in the bathroom and the victim suffered multiple stab wounds. Constance's mother was very traumatized and never talked about the incident. This was the first time that Constance had made the connection between this incident and her constipation.

Having made this discovery Constance quickly came up with two belief statements: "It is completely safe for me to be in the bathroom on my own," and "It is completely safe for me to be around water even when I have my eyes shut." We used the New Direction Balance for both of these statements. Constance said she felt very different, and left saying that she needed to visit the bathroom!

The following day Constance related to me all of the habits she realized she had developed around her fear of the bathroom:

* She never locks the bathroom door but must have the front door locked.
* She always leaves the bathroom to clean her teeth, wash her hands, apply make-up etc.
* She invites her boyfriend into the bathroom as much as possible.
* She never takes a bath, and hates taking a shower.
* She panics when she closes her eyes in the shower and of course never wants to take the time to relax and spend time using the toilet, therefore manifesting urgent diarrhea so that she is in and out quickly. All of these behaviors she had developed without realizing!!!

The morning after her PSYCH-K session Constance had an enjoyable shower during which she was able to shut her eyes without panicking, applied her make-up, locked the bathroom door, chilled out a bit, had a completely normal bowel movement and came into work planning a lovely bubble bath for that evening. She is going to re-decorate the bathroom over the weekend!!! Whilst she was in work she found she could remain in the toilets to wash her hands and touch up her make-up.

One last thing: Constance went to collect her boyfriend that night "in the middle of nowhere." He was late arriving, and she said that she had none of her usual panic responses relating to being on her own in the dark.

Wow! 20 years of suffering and the problem is solved in just one hour of PSYCH-K.

Very best wishes to you Larry, from Mary

Johnnia Pounds Away Without Diabetes

Here is another success story from Larry Valmore:

Dear Friends,

Some of you will recall the Success reproduced below from when it was first published November 16, 2004. For most of you, it will be the first time to see it although you may have heard me mention it in a Workshop.

I originally called this woman 'Nancy,' to protect her anonymity. (The majority of the PSYCH-K® Success of the Week stories use a pseudonym.) However, Johnnia is her real name and she has told me point blank to use her real name for this update.

I talked to Johnnia (pronounced like 'john-ah') on Monday, December 17, 2007. She still does a lot of PSYCH-K and had come across a puzzling situation, so we did a bit of brainstorming together.

Johnnia told me she is now completely off of all forms of medication for diabetes (she took her last medicine in July), yet her blood sugar readings are consistently "dead in the middle of normal." Except for two or three occasions since November 2004 when she was hospitalized for other illnesses, and medications for those illnesses raised her blood sugar temporarily, Johnnia has been in the normal range for well over three years now.

On November 7, 2004 we did about 90 minutes of PSYCH-K together in a Holiday Inn hotel room in Shreveport, Louisiana. (I have to admit it was Advanced PSYCH-K; we used nothing from the Basic Workshop, except of course muscle testing.)

Here's a bonus. Johnnia has lost about 40 pounds in that time, without dieting or exercising beyond housework. She eats what she wants, when she wants.

Here's a bonus Success. Johnnia has had some 33 blood clots, including pulmonary emboli. Most people would be dead, but Johnnia is doing well. She was diagnosed with four distinct clotting disorders. (She says the rarity of that is like walking four golf courses in a single day and being struck by lightning on all four courses.) Once she had the names of the disorders, Johnnia used PSYCH-K with herself to balance for a new reality. She's not had a single clot since October of 2006. Very unusual for her.

You can reach Johnnia at johnnacarol@yahoo.com (Yes, the 'i' in her name doesn't go in the e-mail address.)

How Sweet It Is !!!

I'm really proud of this one, as I believe it can offer real hope to a lot of people. Long, but worth it!

A PSYCH-K˙ student in Shreveport, Louisiana (let's call her Nancy) has been diabetic for 18 years. For the last 8 of those years she has taken insulin injections 4 times daily. For the last 3 years, she has taken insulin orally, twice a day, in addition to the four injections.

Now, she has taken no insulin whatsoever for more than a week, and her blood sugar has remained within normal, healthy limits. Last Tuesday (Nov. 9th) she had her first candy bar in three years. She did some work on Saturday afternoon while repeating a Basic Workshop in Shreveport, then the two of us got together for some more PSYCH-K on Sunday evening after the Workshop.

Let me repeat: No insulin whatsoever (except what her own body makes!!) since last Saturday afternoon. A typical blood sugar reading at 7:00 AM (actual 30 day average from Nancy's ever present Glucometer) is 302. Last Monday morning, it was 152. Her 4 times daily readings from Monday morning Nov. 8th through Tuesday evening the 16th are reproduced below. (Her Glucometer keeps records for 90 days.) Nancy says she feels "wonderful" and is "just tickled" with these changes. In addition, her feet used to feel "ice cold" due to neuropathy caused by the diabetes. Now, her feet feel warm again.

I am especially pleased because this lovely lady has done so much for others since she learned PSYCH-K a year ago. Those of you that have followed these success stories for a while will recall the story of the woman who was suicidal, and had written two letters to her family, apologizing for taking her own life. After a single PSYCH-K session with Nancy and Nancy's therapist partner, the woman gave the letters to this former diabetic, saying "I won't be needing these." ("A Woman of Letters," June 8.) Nancy also facilitated the recent reversal of hair growth in a troubled 17 year old ("A Hair Raising Story," Oct. 19). Finally, she was the patient in the hospital, whose nurse had a history of abuse as a teenager. From her hospital bed Nancy facilitated a balance with the nurse, who came in a few days later and said she felt like she could breathe again, for the first time in 25 years. Also, she'd had no more nightmares. ("Phsyician, Heal Thy Nurse," Sept. 7) For this gracious, talented lady to have such a marvelous change is a real blessing.

Sunday, Oct. 10 376 384 410 349
Averages 267.6 375.4 416.4 470.9


Altogether, this represents a 65% decrease in average readings comparing the week after PSYCH-K to the first week in October. We're not replacing Nancy's doctor, just augmenting sound medical practice with supporting subconscious beliefs.
