A lot of Theta Healing is mental dogma, as in everything these are props to help the subconscious believe it works (because if the subconscious believes it works then it does work, the placebo effect). It is like Reiki or anything else, you have a core practice that is very powerful, and around that a lot of mental accretion or encrustation that comes with it, and with any healing modality and any practice at all (with Reiki it is that you have to trace the various symbols etc). It is not that this baggage serves no purpose; it helps you contact the Formation of that practice in the first place. To transcend something you first have to immerse yourself in it.

So the key is to first learn the method, even just in a cursory way, enough to establish contact with that Formation, and then you can customise it accordingly. Whether or not theta healing really does bring about the theta brainwave state in the practitioner is irrelevant to me; what matters is that i can use this technique to heal myself, essentially, reprogram my "physical mind" as The Mother refers to it (Agenda vol 6 (1965) pp.229-30, for its neuroses see pp.190-4) and therefore also to heal other beings. (some equivalent terms would be the Lower Self of Huna (especially those Max Freedom Long books), and the "The Double" according to my friend Steven Guth) Because in healing ourselves we heal others, and in healing others we heal ourselves; it is a big web of interconnections.

Re explaining the Method, well it isn't about the words; the method in words is just another version of New Thought, A Course in Miracles, etc etc. You have to do the course. When you do it you get "initiated" by the energy and collective consciousness and the power of the instructor (if you have a good instructor, I was very impressed with Simon Rose, he has a lot of power). That's what enables you to do the technique. You can read books or have someone explain it or look it up on the web and its not the same. I have come to realise this is how all these healing modalities work. Also this is how I received Ramana Maharshi's light, through sitting near Gangaji and being receptive to what she was transmitting. If I hadn't've gone to her talks I would never have received the transmission of Sri Ramana.

At a number of places in The Agenda, The Mother talks about "contagion", about how when she made a breakthrough in the yoga of the cells in her own body that influenced others who were receptive all over the world. I suppose this is like that, but being in the person's person's presence the influence of the "contagion" is stronger. Hope this explains things! namaste alan 4:39 PM
