Successful People Use Their Whole Brain

For the last few years, after finding myself in the deepest of depressions, I came to realise what a phenomenal powerplant the human brain is. 

It was the beliefs and perceptions I had stored in there, since childhood, that caused my drama and emotional breakdown. 

Now I know that I had got into the habit of only using certain pathways, ignoring the rest of my brain. 

I had some limited understanding of the right and left hemispheres but I never quite knew the importance of them working together. Quite on the contrary, I was pleased that I was using my mathematical left brain most of the times, successfully solving life problems and dealing with technology. 

So when it came to facing intense emotions and big changes in my life, no wonder I turned out to be quite incompetent.

Luckily, I pulled it through and came over the other side, stronger than ever. I can now maintain the balance of staying constantly in a whole-brain state. I know how important this is for every aspect of my life. Not just for learning but for anything.

In my classroom, in the middle of a lesson, if I find my students distracted, I encourage them to do a few cross-crawls, some figure 8s with their eyes, to rub their ears and to sit in a whole-brain posture. Having done such a simple exercise, the atmosphere in the room changes and all focus is regained.

This video is a better explanation of what functions and processes go on in our brains, coming from the man himself, Dr Bruce Lipton, who taught me a lot (while I was in depression and afterwards) and showed me the light at the end of the tunnel. A big thank you to, Dr. Lipton!

The 7 most Frequently Asked Questions about PSYCH-K®

Here are the most frequently asked questions regarding PSYCH-K®. I have taken them from the "Horse's Mouth" (as we say here in the UK), that is, straight from the originator's website, www.psych-k.com. Alternatively, you can order and read the book written by Rob Williams- the originator of PSYCH-K (Check the link at the side of this blog).


1. What is PSYCH-K®?Answer: PSYCH-K® is a unique and direct way to change subconscious beliefs that perpetuate old habits of thinking and behaving that you would like to change. It is a simple process that helps you communicate with your subconscious mind so you can change beliefs that limit your self-esteem, relationships, job performance, and even your physical health, and much more! PSYCH-K® is popularly characterized as a spiritual process with psychological benefits. While “psych” is often used as an abbreviation for “psychology,” in our case it is used as a variant spelling of the word psyche, meaning “mind,” “soul,” or “spirit.”

Thus the overall goal of PSYCH-K® is to help you free your mind from beliefs that limit your recognition of yourself as a spiritual being having a human experience.


2. Can I learn PSYCH-K® from a book or a DVD?Answer: We can certainly understand and empathize with the desire to be able to learn PSYCH-K® from books or DVDs. However, the PSYCH-K® processes are quite interactive and dynamic, which means that no book or DVD can adequately teach you all the possibilities. Also, neither a book nor a DVD would allow for observation and coaching of your facilitation skills, which is a key learning opportunity with a Certified Instructor in a live workshop. If you want to learn to ride a horse, you might read a lot, and watch videos, but eventually you have to mount an actual horse. That’s when you find out there’s a lot more to it than you can learn just by watching a video or reading a book! That’s when you want an experienced Instructor at your side.

We realize that we could save a lot of time, and make it more convenient for everybody by selling DVDs for people to learn PSYCH-K®. Our originator, Rob Williams, would love it if PSYCH-K® could be effectively taught by video. But it can’t. So for the benefit of all those who want to learn it correctly, we hand pick, and extensively train, Certified Instructors to bring it to you.


3. What is a PSYCH-K® Balance?Answer: A PSYCH-K® Balance is a process designed to create balanced communication with both hemispheres of the cerebral cortex. This “Whole-Brain State” is ideal for reprogramming the subconscious mind with new self-enhancing beliefs that support your goals rather than block them!


4. How did PSYCH-K® come to be?Answer: PSYCH-K® was originated in 1988 by Robert M. Williams, M.A. It was a response to the frustration that came with the realization that typical counseling techniques, which rely almost exclusively on “insight” and “motivation,” seldom create real and lasting changes. Rob has spent more than 25 years developing and improving PSYCH-K®. His backgrounds in both business and psychotherapy create a results-oriented approach to personal change. PSYCH-K® was inspired by a variety of processes, some contemporary and some ancient. It deals with the part of the mind called the subconscious, which is capable of creating dramatic and lasting changes, quickly and easily.


5. Why haven’t I heard of PSYCH-K® before?
Answer: Until 1997, Rob was the only person teaching PSYCH-K®. Now there’s a growing number of hand picked Certified Instructors teaching PSYCH-K® courses all over the world. PSYCH-K® has been growing in popularity for over 25 years! It’s not the latest fad in personal development that is usually untested and unproven. Instead, it’s a proven method for personal growth that has a strong spiritual component, not often found in other systems. It’s a unique approach to subconscious belief change that is now being recognized as a breakthrough in personal growth and spiritual evolution. In short, you’ll be hearing a lot more about PSYCH-K® in the future!


6. How does PSYCH-K® work?Answer: PSYCH-K® is a unique process evolving from years of brain research and hundreds of sessions with individuals and groups. It creates a receptive, “Whole-Brain State” that dramatically reduces resistance to change in the subconscious mind. The subconscious can be accessed in a way analogous to a personal computer. PSYCH-K® works as a kind of ‘mental keyboard’ — a user-friendly method of communicating with the subconscious mind that is simple, direct, and verifiable.

7. How is PSYCH-K® different from Hypnosis?Answer: One of our Certified Instructors who is also a Certified Hypnotherapist offers these distinctions: Hypnosis places authority in the therapist, while PSYCH-K® gives equal or greater authority to the partner (client).

Hypnosis usually requires a trance state, while PSYCH-K® works without such a state.

Hypnosis may have no spiritual foundation, depending on the therapist. PSYCH-K® is always a spiritual process because it’s designed that way.

Hypnosis usually has no permission protocols; it’s assumed to be helpful. In PSYCH-K® there are always spiritual permission protocols, i.e., contact with your Higher-Self via muscle testing, so we ensure that your belief changes are in your highest and best good, and are not well-intentioned, but misguided goals, that can actually make things worse, rather than better.

In hypnosis the partner or client must disclose often painful or embarrassing personal information. In PSYCH-K®, this information can remain private if the partner prefers.

PSYCH-K® is more of a team process between partner and facilitator, more “do with” rather than “do to.”

At least three hypnotherapists also trained in PSYCH-K® say that they typically get the same or better results in half the time (or less) using PSYCH-K® instead of hypnotherapy.


So these are the most frequently asked questions about PSYCH-K®.
