Energy Work is the practice of balancing the energy field that surrounds the human body. Called “chi,” or an “aura” or simply,  “the energy field,” this energy is referenced in many cultural  traditions and is central to several alternative healing techniques. It  is often divided in chakras — each one corresponding to a person’s mental, emotional, and physical self.

PSYCH-K provides a user-friendly way to rewrite the “software” of your  mind by changing beliefs that sabotage you into beliefs that support  you…quickly and easily. PSYCH-K helps you communicate directly with both  the conscious and the subconscious minds. Most beliefs change in a  matter of minutes through the process of balancing the left and right  hemispheres of the brain. Changing subconscious beliefs that may be  sabotaging well-intentioned actions is similar to reprogramming a  personal computer. Using PSYCH-K techniques, a kind of “mental keyboard”  to your own brain, you can increase “cross talk” between the two brain  hemispheres, thereby achieving a more “whole-brained” state, which is  ideal for changing subconscious beliefs.
