Many chronic psychological problems originate during moments of upset or during
ongoing life experiences, at which time sub-selves or controlling identities (CIs)
are formed. Modern and ancient terms for CIs include alter ego, ego states, basins
of attraction, and demons. CIs involve an assemblage of thoughts, core beliefs,
emotions, sensations, physiology, and behaviors. When they are activated, your level of
consciousness in lower and in a sense you become someone else. This is not the real you,
but rather an identity to which you bequeath your power and control.
CIs receive their power and energy from you. Although they may be formed out of a
survival motive, they can stand in the way of your health and happiness. You might
be tempted to wage war against them, but that approach actually infuses them with
more energy. However if treated properly CIs are really powerful forces that can be
harnessed for the good. Since they are distinct from your true self, they can be efficiently
transformed through observation and dis-identification methods.
The creation of a CI involves duality. The process entails dissociation followed by
unconsciously “engineering” the identity and associating to it. The way out of the
quandary is through reversing the process, beginning with dissociative observation and
returning to relative wholeness. The return to wholeness occurs not through conflict, but
by witnessing, offering compassion, and getting in touch with your true self.
Drawing on concepts and techniques from hypnotherapy, NLP, mindfulness practices,
Mace Method, Chöd, and Advanced Energy Psychology, the Identity Method (IM)
consists of processes that make it possible to access and enhance your core energy and
transmute the power contained in CIs. IM involves becoming increasingly present,
quieting the mind, accessing deeper feelings of compassion and serenity, and transmuting
the energy of CIs and unwanted emotions through unique imagery and emotional
sensations processes involving “focused mindfulness.” Psychological problems in general
involve identification with mental and emotional reactions that can be released through
IM.
This seminar highlights the origin and structure of identities and how to efficiently
regulate or transmute the energy of CIs and their manifestations, such as depression,
panic, compulsion, addiction, personality disorders, psychosomatic problems, physical
pain conditions, and more. The format includes lecture, discussion, demonstrations,
liberal experiential exercises, and small group practice so that you will personally
experience the profound benefits of IM. In the process you will learn how to effectively
apply these concepts and techniques in clinical practice to achieve profound and lasting
results. You will also realize personal benefits through participation in this training.
While a background in Energy Psychology is helpful, it is not essential to benefit from
this program. Also IM does not require muscle testing or other modes of touch.
