Holographic Repatterning (HR) is essentially a process of self-healing, although a session with someone trained in the art is needed in order to identify the root of the problem. I have referred to it as an art because the theories behind HR have very little to do with modern, conventional medicine. Rather, it draws on the ancient theories of the Orient, and regards the healing process as that of the person as a whole, instead of merely treating the symptoms. In ancient China, it was believed that there were certain energy flows within the body, and that the energy flowed to different parts of the body at different rates.
In HR it is believed that negative thoughts from a person can alter the frequency of energy to a certain part of the body. Because it is thought that each individual organ or muscle requires a specific frequency, a change in one area can manifest itself as poor health, emotional problems or just a low standard of living.
Chloe Wordsworth developed the theory after working in the other holistic areas of acupuncture and kinesiology, a testing of the body by using the muscles. Indeed, kinesiology is incorporated into the theory of Holographic Repatterning. The practitioner uses kinesiology as a way of gaining entry to the unconscious actions of the human body, and thus a way of looking at a person’s unconscious structuring. It is believed that the body (our natural unconscious workings) is able to respond to kinesiology in a ‘yes-no’ manner. So it can be found out if a certain substance or action will be beneficial to the body.
Once a ‘no’ answer has been elicited from a muscle (it goes limp) the practitioner knows that is the source of negative energy. He then tests the area for a positive response by asking the muscle a series of questions. These questions are designed to identify a ritual that will help restore the muscles correct energy frequency. It can be anything from singing to wearing a certain colour of clothes. Once it has been identified (the muscle will tense up), the patient carries out the ritual, and this is why it is considered a form of self-healing.
Of course for those people who are not advocates of alternative medicine, they will be very skeptical. There can be no doubt though that people have been able to overcome both emotional and physical problems using this method. Perhaps it is just a matter of what you want to believe.
