Frequently Asked Questions

About Resonance Repatterning sessions:

What is Resonance Repatterning?
Resonance Repatterning™ is an extraordinary process for creating positive change. This process identifies and transforms unconscious life-depleting responses that underlie pain, sickness, unworkable relationships or any other limitations you might be experiencing. Resonance Repatterning sessions facilitate a shift in your frequency patterns so you resonate with your positive goal and intentions and actively move towards the attainment of your potential as a human being.

Is Holographic Repatterning different from Resonance Repatterning?
No!  In 2005 the association changed the official title of the work from “Holographic Repatterning” to “Resonance Repatterning.”  The word Resonance has more direct meaning to what the process does, which is literally to shift energetic resonance.

What is a typical session like?
No two sessions are alike.  The only likeness to any session is that there is a practitioner and a client, and resonance is shifted to a higher coherence. The process is the same, meaning the muscle checking indicator is always used, but because of the variety of peoples systems, timing, etcetera, each session unfolds in its own way.  So you may have one session where you did a lot of process work, i.e. letting go of old pain through tears and communicating it, and you may have another session which in which you dance and laugh and wear color lenses (or this could all happen in one session!).  This is one of the reasons why it is recommended to experience at least 3 sessions.

How many Resonance Repatterning sessions do I need?

Everyone is individual and has his or her own individual needs.  We all could use more coherence in our lives, even if we have it all, couldn’t we make even that better?  Some people may come in for a specific reason that is taken care of (like needing help making an important decision or having a specific physical condition such as a headache) in just one, two or three sessions.  And that is all they want.  Some people would like more ongoing support, more like seeing a therapist regularly.  This can be grounding, and stabilizing to an individual, in particular during times of transition, or just a time of need.  The answer to this truly depends on the client.  My suggestion is if you have never experienced a session before, that you have 3 within the time frame of no more than 3-5 months.  This way, you can look back at how your life was, how you functioned when you started, and how your life was at the end.  You may find the sessions were great, and that indeed, more sessions would be beneficial for ongoing regular support.  Or you may find that this process is great, but you may prefer having sessions less frequently.  If you are in the latter group, I recommend that you have a session once every 6 months and whenever situations that stress or transition your life, "when your boat is rocked!".  It is wonderful practice to take care of yourself using this conscious process.  I enjoy and benefit immensely from many many other therapeutic processes and energy healings, but Resonance Repatterning is, I think, essential process for continuing growth and support throughout ones life and to becoming in tuned with your intention continually.

What should I do to prepare for a session?
It is recommended not to drink alcohol, smoke or take any drugs-including caffeine, before your session.  If possible, for 24-36 hours before, but if not, then do your best.  There are several reasons for this, one it helps your higher self be accessed, and it helps the session run smoother.  If you are nervous, or anxious before, that is ok, we will take care of that once we begin.

What should I after a session?
Drink water.  Lots.  Still take it easy on the alcohol, caffeine, etc.  SLEEP. Rest if you need to. Be an observer.  Play, nurture yourself, you just did a lot of shifting and it is time to give yourself permission to take care of your needs.  If you need to spend time alone, then do it.  If you need to cry, then do it. If you need company, find some that will be a positive influence, not those that want you in your old patterns that you are shedding. Life after your sessions varies from person to person, session to session.  Let the changes happen, don’t fight new things.  If you have a positive action to do (post session homework), DO IT!!!  If you have a commitment you were turned “ON” for, then go for it.  Reflect on the session, and make connections if you want, again, everyone is unique, so however you handle yourself, the big thing is to Take Care of Your Needs.  You deserve it.

You may notice that parts of your life suddenly begin to just change.  Or life is the same, but you are different and need a different environment now. Things that never seemed to bother you before, may suddenly bother you.  Or things that used to bother you, just don’t touch that edgy  nerve anymore. Whatever it is, let it be.  Surrender. It is part of the unfolding of the new you, your new more coherent patterns and attractions.  The butterfly growing out of the cocoon.

How do I know if I need/would benefit from a session?
If you have never had a session, that is a great start! I find it good to have regular tune ups, if I feel like I need an oil change for myself.  It is terrific to have sessions during transition times and times of big decisions. It is useful to deal with long term issues, and for that, no need for current drama necessary.  If you are unhappy, frustrated, having difficulty in a relationships, or at work, or with yourself physically, with anything, it is a good time to have a session, or a few. I personally receive a session from someone else once a month and I do sessions on myself even more regularly.

How will I know that my energy shifted? How will I know that it “worked”?
Again, everyone is unique, and hence reacts individually to shifts.  When you leave you may feel amazing—generally this is how people feel post session.  Then you will notice subtle and also obvious shifts around you.  The reality of your life just might seem lighter, easier, more free.  If you had done a session about your job situation, you may find that when you get to work, your boss gives you respect for you, or you get the raise or vacation time you wanted and shifted resonance for during the session.  I personally have had countless amazing shifts occur as a direct result of the sessions.

Sometimes the shift is more internal, in you, rather than in the external world or environment.  You may find yourself thinking about issues in a new perspective.  Maybe things that bothered you before the session, just stop bothering you.  And maybe things that didn’t bother you at all, suddenly become issues that need addressing and thinking. 

Sometimes, but not frequently, there may be some integration time following a session.  This means, that situations or emotions may become highlighted, blow up or become very emphasized, even worse for a short while.  This is just a sign that things ARE shifting.  And the old patterns that want to hold on to the old way of being are being let go of, and sometimes this isn’t easy for the old way of being to do. If this is something that happens-- Don’t worry.  Everything will be fine!  If there is integration time, it usually is a short amount of time, like a day or two.

What kind of shifts usually happens?

There is no set answer for this.  It varies tremendously.  Past results clients have reported as a direct result from the sessions received from me: receiving new job opportunities, getting a raise, getting pregnant, getting married, changing jobs, feeling overall better self esteem, letting go of past traumas, relieved headaches, relieved back pain, reduction of PMS, increasing the ability to dance in public, getting over a divorce, feeling more joy, decreased OCD, experiencing better and more communication in relationship, improved relationships, becoming more mature, honing the creative skills, finding all of the sudden people who owed you money, give it to you, things just start “going your way”….etcetera!!!!!!

How can a group session be beneficial to me personally?
There are actually so many benefits to group sessions.  One is that people, as a nature, share a lot of the same issues.  In a group, the resonance of everybody is included, so you can imagine, the amplitude, is much bigger, even stronger in a sense.  A lot of the times, when you share an issue with someone, the person you are talking to, can immediately relate.  You both are stuck, or would like similar things.  Group sessions can go right there, and help both of you.

If regular personal sessions are not in your budget, commissioning group sessions to your topic of choice even can be economical.  This would be useful for example, for people working together in an office, or who share a living space, or just friends or family.  Although one on one sessions are invaluable (and is recommended for extraordinary outcomes) you can still experience powerful results from group sessions.

Can you do a session on an animal or prenate?
Yes!!!  Anything that has energetic wave patterns or emits a frequency i.e. is alive, may receive and benefit from a Repatterning session.  It may sound ludicrous, but when you think about it, it is actually pretty reasonable.  Everything that is based on wave pattern principals, is able to restructure itself, once the structure is identified, and how to shift it is identified. 

Many patterns of ours start from the very beginning of our lives, even at conception or in the womb.  For example, if your mother was in a car accident when you were in the womb, and she was scared, this may have sent an adrenalin stress response straight to you, and sending you a message for life that “life is unsafe” so your were conditioned to always react to life expecting uncertain danger, and thus attracting just that. 

Resonance Repatterning helps shift and remove patterns such as the above, so you can attract healthier, positive patterns like “Life is full of wonderful surprises” and thus, you attract that.

Can I do HR/Resonance Repatterning on myself? How can I learn?
Yes you can do HR on yourself!  There is a one day course, “Empowering Yourself with HR” that literally empowers you to make these kinds of shifts on your own and specifically on yourself.  If you want to continue your studies, you may go on and take the full curriculum, one two or three day seminar at a time, at your own pace. If you have atleast 10 people, you can sponsor a teacher to come to your own area to teach the series.    Visit www.repatterninginstitute.net for more information. 

What is muscle checking or applied kinesiology?
Muscle checking is the body’s way of telling us what strengthens our system and what weakens our system.  Instead of just intuiting what to shift in the session, or just talking about it, we use the intelligence of the binary, “on/off” body feedback system to lead the session to where it needs to go.  It is accurate, efficient, and direct. 

What does resonance mean exactly?
Resonance is the vibe. It is the waves.  It is everything that is the base of who we are.  When we throw a stone in a pool of water, it makes a ripple.  This is what is happening inside of each of us all the time.  Our hearbeat makes a ripple.  The thoughts we think, we are emitting those, like a ripple.  When we open our mouths to speak, that is another kind of ripple.  Everything about us, even if we are very still, even sleeping, is emitting or putting out wave frequencies or resonance. 

If we are eating poor foods for us, that decreases, our overall resonance.  If we are living in an environment that is negative, abusive, or unhealthy in anyway, that too brings down our overall resonances.  When we walk into a place and just get a feeling of “ooh, something feels wrong, I don’t think I like it here,” we know there is a RESONANCE about that place that doesn’t feel good.  It has that “bad vibe.”

When we laugh or spend quality time with people we love, that increases our resonance, it makes us feel good, gives us good vibes, and nourishes us. Sometimes we find it difficult to maintain that “good” love feeling.  That is because our resonance field, our patterns, our cellular makeup, are conditioned into a lower resonance state, a state that is used to, and expects even, to feel worse. Patterns are used to being the way the are, and without conscious effort or a miracle, they will stay about the same.  Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but average out the same. 

Resonance Repatterning sessions directly increase your resonance so that you experience as much “good” love feeling as possible.  And literally “repattern” your resonance so that your patterns will shift to expect, and be, healthier, more vibrant, life enhancing. 

Do I have to understand all this for it to work?
No.  Life is what it is.  Using an example from “The Secret” most of us don’t understand how electricity works, but that doesn’t stop us from using it!  Life is made of energy.  Keep your energy positive, and then your life will directly result in being positive.  Your life, reality, —including your unconscious patterns, and current state of mind, and environment, etc, all that makes you you—is synonymous with all this—your energy field.  Resonance Repatterning process helps make the energy better, more coherent, for you.  It is a proactive approach to reaching your soul’s/ life’s potential.
