1. Energy What?
I am a spiritual therapist who uses a healing technology called Rapid Eye Technology. I help people clear negative energy. I am trained as a Master/Teacher in the healing art of Reiki. I studied Reiki to learn about the mind and body as a system of energy. Everything at its finest level of creation is energy. We are exchanging energy and silently communicating energetically with every person we meet or come into contact. Energy impressions are always our first impressions that influence what we think or feel about others.As a Certified Master Level Rapid Eye Technologist, I work in the area of energy healing or energy medicine. I am a practitioner of what used to be called Alternative or Holistic Health and is now being called Complementary Medicine. Rapid Eye is a technology that is based on the theory that we can initiate the rapid-eye movement we experience during our sleep in an awakened state. As a result of studying REM sleep, it was shown that during this sleep state our minds and bodies are clearing overloads of heavy, negative energy that tax and create imbalances in our system. Rapid Eye Technology has shown to have the same effect of clearing at the deeper levels of our mind and body, that can sometimes take us years to clear, if at all, if left to our own natural mechanisms.I teach clients that RET is not the healing power. It is a technology that clears the negative energy we carry and keep recreating, that blocks and interferes with the spiritual powers of healing that are available to us. As we clear this negative energy, we allow healing powers to be awakened within us, which allows spirit to flow healing energies into all levels of our being. Clearing is one part of the healing process. The other part is learning new life skills that incorporate living by spiritual truths in a practical way so that we can maintain and continue to increase our state of well-being. I tell clients that they come in focused on recovery and clearing the negative, and graduate to creating and manifesting the future.Ranae Johnson, Ph.D., is the founder of the Rapid Eye Institute in Oregon, and the author of two books, Reclaim Your Light Through the Miracle of Rapid Eye Technology and Winter's Flower. The Rapid Eye technique was actually developed out of trying to find alternate treatments for autism! Winter's Flower is the heartwarming story of how it all happened as Ranae tried to find help for her autistic son. In the process, she found methods to help not only him, but thousands of other children and adults all over the world.I believe that real healing is a spiritual process. My belief in that kept me away from the clinical models of therapy. I was drawn to Rapid Eye Technology because of the spiritual model it incorporated. At the spiritual level, RET assists individuals in remembering their wholeness. As negative energy is released, clients are opened to their spiritual nature. This allows them to remember who they are and why they are here. RET is a comfortable process that supports them in becoming their real self-naturally and gracefully.There are many modalities of energy healing available. Obviously I think Rapid Eye Technology is one of the best or I would be practicing something else! You can judge for yourself.

6. We Create What We Experience
I remember when I really woke up to this truth. It made me furious and at the same moment I experienced one of the most freeing energies I had ever felt. I was on my knees pleading with God to help me get on with my life. I still felt stuck and needed more strength to overcome the constant struggles in my life. God, or Heavenly Father as I affectionately refer to the God I believe in, told me in that moment that the reason I kept having struggles was because I kept believing I was a victim in life. I was told that I was creating it, and if I changed my belief and really believed at a cellular level that I was no longer a victim, my life would change completely. I was angered by this feedback because if this were the case, I could no longer blame anyone else for the dysfunction in my life. I liked believing I was a victim who had learned to be a survivor and that others and circumstances beyond my control were at fault for my struggles. I really knew how to put the blame on God and Satan as well. Weren't most of life's challenges either God trying and proving us or Satan tempting us? If I were the creator - and I mean the one that at some level influenced everything that had ever and would ever happen to me - then I was creating some pretty messed up scenarios. I would have to own it all and I didn't like that at first because I still thought someone had to be blamed and that would now be me. I became very determined to really understand this truth. I knew in the same moment of my anger that if this were true, then I could create something really wonderful for myself. I figured, "wow, I've got real potential here. Look how good I created the things I don't want, if I can even be half as good at creating what I do want, my life could be very sweet."Through my personal experience and my years of professionally assisting others get well, I have concluded that the deeper beliefs held in our subconscious mind can often play out to be some of the most powerful influences in what we end up creating and re-creating in our lives.Many of our negative beliefs held about ourselves and our world were genetically passed on to us from our ancestors and established in our childhood. At that time we also started creating dysfunctional patterns to counter the negative beliefs in order to give us a sense of safety and importance in our world. As adults we can identify and clear the deeply rooted limited beliefs and dysfunctional patterns that are a by-product of them.Even though you may not be consciously thinking these negative beliefs about yourself, you are still sending out a powerful signal that attracts into your life the people and events that honor what still exists for you at the subconscious level.That is why life is such a great mirror for us. If you want to know what your most powerful beliefs are about yourself - whether you are aware of them or not - just look at your life. Once I finally understood this principle I began to notice the negative aspects of my life and look at them differently.Even after devoting many, many years to my own healing and spiritual growth I know I am still evolving and remembering my truth. When a situation occurs that is dishonoring to me I now say to myself "Why did I attract that? What part of me is still believing I am not lovable? I am gracefully and comfortably clearing all limited beliefs about myself on all levels. I am knowing my divine worth and everything I create is a reflection of that."A client may come to me consciously unaware of some of their most powerful negative beliefs, yet their life experience is clearly shouting to them they have them. For some, those negative beliefs may be hard to accept because they spent years blocking them out from their conscious thinking mind in order to survive.
At Gary's first session I asked him how he felt about himself, his self-confidence and self-worth? He shared he felt fine that he had enough self-worth and confidence. He was completely ignorant of his deeper held beliefs that kept manifesting his negative experience very obviously in his day to day life. That his deeply held negative beliefs were sending out powerful signals that attracted disease, disharmony, and painful events into his life.Gary came to me after coming through an experience with cancer that almost ended his physical life. He had overcome the cancer yet he physically was exhausted and depleted and still required a lot of medication daily. He was in tremendous conflict with his wife and close to separating from her. He believed she was not sensitive to his needs and "the love had gone out of their marriage." He had also been fired recently from a high-powered position because of some misconduct on his part and at our first session was unwilling to discuss the details of his actions. He was extremely depressed and felt hopeless. He believed that all of this life experience had "happened to him."
A person who knows and embraces their wholeness on all levels, and who has life-skills that complement that knowing, has the evidence of a life experience that reflects this state of being.The clients that come to see me that are aware of how their painful childhood experiences are interrupting their ability to have a healthy, joyful adult life are challenged differently.For them the challenge often is to take ownership of what they keep recreating and stop blaming their parents or perpetrators and everything outside of them as the problem. They have acquired the perception, "these negative beliefs about myself must be true because look at what keeps happening in my life." They are still believing their experiences create their beliefs. Very quickly I introduce them to the universal truth: "Your beliefs create your experience."By identifying and clearing the negative beliefs held in your subconscious mind, by what I refer to as your "wounded inner-child," you will identify and clear the negative patterns and experiences you keep recreating.Creating new beliefs held by your inner-child subconsciously, and your adult self consciously, makes it easy to establish new healthy patterns in your current experience. In these new thoughts and patterns you are sending out a vibration or signal that attracts back into your life more of what you want. You stop creating what you don't want and get very good at creating what you do want, which will make your life very sweet.

9. Birth Leaves an Imprint that Starts Our Life as a Struggle
There is an old energy and a new energy. The old energy patterns involve struggle, pain, blame, resentment, and anger. The new energy patterns involve love, grace, abundance and prosperity for everyone, learning through joy and ease, humility, charity, gratitude and appreciation. The new energy honors our god-self, and we can choose to be co-creators with God. All the resources of heaven are at our disposal to make our lives grand and wonderful and attracting all that is sweet unto us.If you are an adult, you were most likely born into the old energy pattern. Birth itself leaves an imprint of pain and struggle. Think about it: the birth process sets us up to believe that life is hard and you have to struggle to survive. You come from a spirit existence of light and love as a being of light and love. You must slow down your vibration to acquire a body. You take on all your mother's and father's emotional DNA. You grow and change rapidly to eventually have no freedom of motion because the size of the space you are in is smaller than you. You go from that small space to an even smaller space - the birth canal - and through a tremendous amount of pain and effort, you are pushed and pulled through the birth canal. If your mother was completely anesthetized during delivery, you feel completely abandoned and feel you have to do everything on your own. How do I know this? It was one of my core beliefs as a result of my birth. I even went around complaining to my family, "Nobody is there for me. I always have to do everything by myself. I get no support!".From the birth canal you land in an alien world with bright lights where the temperature has dropped 30 degrees. You are prodded, poked, cut, with no ability to move or speak. Most people reading this book did not have their fathers present at their birth, and they were taken away from their mothers. And that's a normal birth! Throw in a few details like premature, a cesarean birth, drugs, induced birth, wrong sex, late, attempted abortion, and possible miscarriage, or the big ones, like conceived in rape or conceived in illegitimacy, and you've got some heavy-duty energy patterns influencing your life. You have just come into the world with an overlay of energy that sets you up to believe life is hard and you have to struggle to survive, that there's no support for you, there's not enough love to go around, and you do not want to be here.In the first session of RET, I take every client through a birth clearing. Most people are walking around with thoughts and behavior patterns that are directly related to their birth experience. You could be fighting time and have the pattern of being late to everything because you were overdue. If you were premature, you probably have beliefs and experiences such as: waiting for others, wanting everything in a hurry, feeling nervous, rushed, and running. Some other examples of birth energy residue include: Feeling unplanned, unwanted. Suffering to get love. Having to work harder than others to have anything I want. Having to prove myself, show others I am deserving of good things. Always checking with others for approval.
If your mom was seriously ill during pregnancy or almost died at your birth, you may believe you cause others pain. You may think of others before you think of what you want. You may be afraid of your own power because you believe you can really hurt other people.The transition from the womb to the birth canal will leave energy imprints of stuck, struggle, can't move forward, can't move back. No way out. Afraid of the future. These old energies still vibrate in us and set us up to create life experiences that honor these beliefs. I have worked with many clients who say things like, "I feel stuck in my life," and "I feel there's no way out!"A cesarean section may leave patterns of sudden change, headstrong, stubborn, doing the opposite. I better get help with this or I'll never get out. Angry at being interrupted. Can't do it myself. Not going for what I want.A forceps delivery may create a feeling of needing to be bailed out at the last minute. It's difficult to finish. Control issues. People force me. People pull me. I want to do it myself. Support leads to manipulation.
John came to me feeling tremendous guilt and sadness over his elderly mother's death. He had lived most of his life trying to please his mother, to no avail. Most of the decisions of his life had been made with her welfare in mind and how she would feel about it. Her feelings had always been more important than his own, and if something upset her, he would not go through with it. John was in his mid-to-late fifties. He had never married and had his own family. He was too busy taking care of his mother emotionally to be able to share himself with anyone else - even himself. I asked him at his first session about his birth experience. He said that what he knew about it was that he was very overdue and it was a very hard and long labor that had almost killed his mother due to complications. He had been reminded by aunts his entire life that he should be grateful for his mother because she almost lost her life having him. He grew up being told "You could have killed your mother." I asked him the details of his life just prior to his mother's death. He shared that all his life he had felt trapped and insecure, unable to make decisions for what he wanted: always thinking of his mother. Prior to his mother's death he had been involved in some self-help programs learinng about personal empowerment and how to move on with his life. Through the help and support of other's he made a decision t take a new job and relocate regardless of his mother's approval and support. His core belief was "I can't have a life of my own, because if I do it will kill my mother." Since the Universe honors our strongest beliefs, we will cause the things we fear the most to transpire in our lives just so we will notice them, clear them, and create a new belief. In John's case, soon after he made thise big decisions, his mother became severly ill and died. By the time he found me, he had lost his new job, had moved back to his hometown, and was punishing himself for his mother's death - for which he felt responsible. He had never considered that his birth experience had influenced the choices he had made for the rest of his life. After clearing this old energy, he was free to form new beliefs and patterns that reflected his newfound wholeness. Beliefs like:
I am loved and supported by others.
I have every choice available to me.
The choices I make are appropriate and I am supported.
I am free to move on with my life.
Life is good to me.
My mother's higher self loves and approves of me.
I am free of all self-imposed limitations.
I know who I am and what I want.
I am living in the new energy of myself, comfortably and easily.
We carry old energy patterns that influence our beliefs and behaviors not only from our birth experience but from generational beliefs, unmet childhood needs, and any experience where we perceived that we were worthless or powerless. Our first life experience was purposely a struggle so we would be aligned with the consciousness of the planet to learn life's lessons through struggle and pain. We knew we had to know struggle to know what joy is. We live in a dimension of contrast. In order to know love, we had to create hate; in order to know good, we had to create evil; in order to know joy, we had to create pain. It is only through experiencing these contrasts that we can fully realize who we really are. In order to experience who we really are, we have had to experience who we are not. We are all pieces of God, just waiting to be awakened and fully realized. We live in a time when we can easily and effortlessly clear away the old energies, beliefs and patterns, and function completely in our new energy. My experience with Rapid Eye Technology is that it is one of the most thorough and complete clearing modalities available today. At this time in which we live, clearing comes easily because the energy grids of the planet continue to release to allow us to live in a higher state of consciousness: knowing our true, core self. But it is hard for people to stay in the new energy vibration. Humans are great creatures of habit and drama. I tell my clients that knowing and feeling your wholeness and true essence is natural but not familiar. What is familiar is your wounded state and dysfunctional life. You have become very good at staying alive in a life experience of pain and struggle. Overcoming pain and struggle has given you a sense of satisfaction and achievement, a false sense of security and love. Pain and struggle is not your natural state. If it were, you would not be coming to see me because you would feel highly satisfied with your life. You would be able to look at your life and say, "My life is all screwed up and I love it. I am completely satisfied." You are not able to do that because it is very uncomfortable living a lie. As long as you continue living out these limited beliefs, you will feel dissatisfied. As you come to a remembrance and knowledge of your true essence, your god-self, it will not feel familiar and you will go back to the old way of being for a time. It is as if you have been living in a dark closet banging around. Clearing the limitations and old energy patterns will let you out of the closet. You will feel free and it may frighten you, so you will go back in the closet and continue to come out occasionally until you feel more and more comfortable. At some point you will close the door behind you and lock it, never to go in again, yet you will turn around and bang your head against the door just because it feels familiar. You'll say to yourself, "Oh pain - that feels right!" When you have experienced enough of that, you'll walk away from the closet, to live a life of joy and happiness, co-creating with God.

18. How Much Joy Can You Hold?
As humans we have a harder time staying in joy than we do in pain and struggle. Joy is a very high, clear vibration in which life flows effortlessly and gracefully. Pain is a slow, low vibration that attracts disharmony and upsets into our life. When we are in pain and struggle, we are cut off from our natural connection to the heavens and the light of Christ energy. This energy source that sustains all life and from which all creation comes, is meant to flow to us freely, easily and abundantly. It is our God-given natural state to be in the high vibration of joy, yet for most humans it is not the familiar state. Let me explain what I mean by natural and familiar. "Natural" means what we have been created to experience effortlessly and spontaneously as our genuine selves. God created us to experience joy as our natural state. What is natural is enthusiasm. What is natural to you is laughing a lot. What is natural is feeling strong and secure. What is natural is a zest for life beyond anything most people over eight years old have felt for a long, long time. "Familiar" means what has become commonplace and habitual because of how frequently we have experienced it in our lives. Pain and struggle have become the familiar life experience for most people. It is unfamiliar to be happy and joyful all the time, intentionally choosing to create more and more of what brings increased joy to others and ourselves. I believe that staying in a high vibration of joy and happiness, and creating a wonderful life is every person's opportunity and one of the primary purposes of the time in which we live. To achieve and maintain this high vibratory state, we must become aware of the patterns we continually recreate that put us in pain and struggle. As well as becoming aware of these patterns, we need to understand why we create them. For most people there is a belief that they add some value to our lives. Some of the most common beliefs that my clients have identified include: We believe our spiritual exaltation and advancement is directly connected to how much hardship we overcome in this life. We believe if life were easy and pain-free, we might get bored or have nothing to challenge us. We believe it keeps us humble. We believe that living in a constant state of joy and happiness is a facade and means we are not willing to deal with the realities of life. We are humans and humans like drama.
I have also worked with many clients that honestly do not know what a life of joy and happiness is like. They have never experienced true happiness and unconditional love in their entire lives because of abusive parents, conditional support, and adult lives riddled with dysfunction. They are stuck in a pattern of upset and disharmony and keep unconsciously recreating this pattern because it is all that they have known. They are not even sure what it would feel like to be loved just for themselves, and to have a life free of pain and struggle. Some are afraid to introduce this into their lives for fear that if they have it, they may lose it, and that would be too difficult. They believe it is easier living with the pain and managing it, rather than knowing true joy and happiness and then losing it. As my clients learn new life skills, and become aware of their creative powers, they realize they are unconsciously creating their current circumstances of hardship and struggle and they have the power to create a life of joy. They realize there is no risk, because they are the ones in charge of their life experiences and the results they are getting.Examine your own beliefs. If you were told you could have a life completely free of pain and hardship, would you believe it were possible? What do you believe the struggles and hardships of your life offer you? Do you believe you could create those same benefits and claim those same blessings in a constant state of joy and happiness and prosperity? If you lived in a constant state of joy and happiness and prosperity, could you stay in a place of compassion and humility? Do you need adversity to keep you humble and submissive to God? As long as pain and struggle has a hidden value to you, you will need it in your life.There will always be opposition in all things. That does not mean there has to be struggle in all things. The contrast with which we all live is meant to be a medium to distinguish the opposites. Without dark, we could not know light. Without pain, we could not know joy. Without up, we could not know down. Without hate, we could not know love. Opposites exist so that we can have a choice. It is because of the contrast that we are able to know what we want, by experiencing what we do not want. It is through contrast that these choices are possible and the function of our agency is constantly employed. You will always have the opportunity to dip into the pool of contrast to create what you don't want, so you can become more aware of what you do want.I believe pain and struggle has been the primary medium for spiritual advancement for mankind. We have needed adversity and hardships to know our higher selves and awaken our godlike traits. I believe that in the new millennium we will be free to graduate to a different experience of spiritual advancement. I believe we can choose spiritual advancement through the avenues of intention and desire. I believe that through our intentions to become our higher selves and become like Christ, we can create this. I believe that through desire we can create lives of joy and happiness and prosperity and at the same time choose to be a reverent, loving, compassionate, obedient and humble people.There will always be the contrast of pain and hardship available to us. The old belief has been, "I am learning and growing through adversity." The new belief can be, "I am learning and growing through joy." The question to ask yourself now is, "How much joy can you hold, and how long can you hold it?"
