Energetic Self-manifestation is:
-
for anyone who wants to create self- change.
-
about the energetic impact of beliefs.
-
a psychoenergetic process and a philosophical
approach to life, based upon Universal Principles.
These Universal Principles are: we are Quantum Beings;
we are Eternal; we are Innately Whole; and we create every aspect of
our own lives.
This psychoenergetic process reconnects us to the
knowledge of what and who we are. From the ESM perspective,
everything in our world is a reflection upon how we see ourselves.
As Quantum Beings, we are creators of our world, created from
the beliefs which operate within our subconscious mind. We create
from two places: from our innate wholeness, which is our
spiritual/energetic/quantum core of wisdom and love; and from our fears, which represent
self-limiting
beliefs which do not serve us in living full and vibrant lives.
THE ORIGIN OF ALL FEAR IS SELF-DOUBT
Self-doubt is created when we make the choice to
separate from our Authentic Self by suppressing or rejecting our
emotions. Doubt is created when we deny the Truth of our
personal experience.
ESM requires embracing or taking ownership of all
parts of Self. As a result, we reconnect with our wholeness
and create solely from our joy. We begin to feel and see
the power and abilities we embody. We become aware of our "Quantum-ness", our connection to all things
and the power we have to influence our world.
ESM focuses on the Wholeness and the Oneness factor
(i.e. we are all connected). Also, the focus is on the solution to
issues―rather than on what appears to be missing.

Energetic Self-Manifestation (ESM) is the development and evolvement of a new treatment approach. It is a journey of self-love and, as such, bears testimony to the fact that "self-love and self-acceptance" are key to realizing our innate wholeness and to moving toward a more powerful view of
"what" and "who" we are—and how we relate to the world around us.
In the development of this new treatment approach, we utilize the partnership of our backgrounds, abilities and interests to bridge the healing disciplines of Psychology, Energy and Spirituality. We, represents Ms. Diane Raphael, a gifted Psychological and Medical Intuitive and Psychic Medium and Dr. Gayle Way, a Registered Psychologist specializing in Clinical and
Transpersonal Psychology. In collaboration, we seek to combine our gifts and knowledge to offer a unique healing process which is informed by Energy (the universal grid of cosmic consciousness) and the principles of a New Psychology which is grounded in the truths of Quantum Physics. We accomplish this by utilizing our respective abilities as Energy Beings and Energy Fields to interface with the
larger Universal Energy Field in order to facilitate an individual's personal growth and self-empowerment. Such a psycho-energetic approach offers an accelerated and
multi-realitied approach to the healing experience which can be observed to manifest in profound instances of emotional, physical and personal evolvement.

Energetic Self-Manifestation (ESM) represents a comprehensive, multidimensional energy psychotherapy. Practically, it represents a three-way interface which is a collaborative process involving the client, the facilitator and the Energy. It comprises a blend of "talk therapy", body awareness and the dialoguing of Energy
Fields. It is important to note that The Energy has always existed. However, we are introducing a new and more powerful way of relating to
ourselves as Beings of Energy and to Source/Universal Energy which results in personal transformation through the manifestation of our innate wholeness. Such transformation is based on the fact that we are Beings of Energy. It is only when we embrace
this truth that we truly begin to experience ourselves as multisensory and
multi-realitied Beings for whom the possibilities are endless. Such a focus is based upon the truth that we are
innately whole. There is nothing wrong with us—we do not need to be fixed or healed. It is about taking ownership for
what and who we are and embracing our full potential with all that that might mean for us.
The Energy supports us in doing this by working on a cellular basis to transmute our fear-based,
self-limiting beliefs.
In talking about the work, we are inspired to utilize language which will support a change in peoples' perceptions from one of "healing" to one of personal responsibility and personal evolvement. This is because Energetic Self-Manifestation represents a whole new philosophical approach to life involving how we see ourselves and why we're here. It relates to the interconnectedness
of all things and thereby represents a shift in perception which is revolutionary in its ramifications and possibilities. As such, ESM represents the foundation of a newly emerging Psychology based on the multisensory reality that we are Energy Beings. Moreover, from the perspective of ESM we are all teachers and facilitators who, in learning to interface with the Energy, can provide support to one
another, including ourselves, and, in particular, to those individuals who seek to grow and evolve.
<TOP>
The Energy is ever-readily available to us. In ESM we utilize this grid of cosmic consciousness (the Universal Energy Field) in a collaborative process. The Energy is in the driver's seat and we as Energy Beings, client and facilitator alike, intuitively follow its' direction. Energetic Self-Manifestation represents a highly client-centered treatment approach wherein the process is created by the client, the facilitator and the Energy, together. The client and facilitator's relationship with the Energy involves interfacing as Quantum Beings with a larger Quantum Energy field. This facilitates a "sharing" of
energy/information which allows both the client and facilitator, simultaneously, to connect with universal wisdom and oneness. More specifically, the Energy supports us, as clients, in connecting to those parts of ourselves that we are desiring to connect with and which are coming up in us for validation and release. It supports us, as facilitators in knowing where to place our hands "in the
sharing of the Energy" on the basis of vibrational and intuitive feedback. The Energy honours each client and facilitator's uniqueness - that strong individualistic urge which exists within each of us. This process allows more informational space for the Energy to support both the facilitator and the client in receiving what it is they each need to receive.
In the earliest stages of this
process, the Energy automatically creates a sense of safety for clients, enabling them to access the painful and fearful parts of themselves—when,
and only when, they are ready. The facilitator is able to relax in
the knowledge that this is a collaborative process—their only role
is to support the client. The process itself is as individual as the
client and the outcome is equally personal, ranging from
"interesting" to "profoundly life-changing". A clients willingness
to become the observer and explore their internal landscape,
without judgment, is a huge factor in the outcome.
The "hierarchical power" and "expertise" facilitation
models are ineffective as they focus on fear-based
problems/solutions—strengthening existing fears and limiting belief
systems. The ESM process involves facilitator and client as Energy
Beings, free to engage and interact as observers rather than
ego-based personas and outcomes.
Regardless of the client's initial presentation, they are recognized as possessing all that they require within this process as well as within their
ongoing life's journey. This process, therefore, allows us as facilitators to proceed with more confidence and ease, knowing that we are doing exactly what it is we need to be doing in each moment.
Basically, as a client, when we open to an Internal Dialogue with the Energy, we are guided on a highly personal journey customized for our own exclusive needs. The Internal Dialogue may take many forms, including body sensations, feelings, memories, images, sounds and voices, and may range from a perceived sense of deep relaxation, calm and peace, to specific instructions. For
example, one client received the very practical instructions to "throw out your TV", a suggestion which was highly relevant to her problems with procrastination and addictive behaviours such as excessive TV watching. Another client heard the message "Do not be afraid". In this way, we learn to focus inwardly to the relationship with ourselves for help with specific questions or life challenges—co-creating appropriate answers or direction.
For example, during the course of a session, we may
find our confusion regarding what to do in a difficult life
situation lifted, or our fear dissolved while feelings which need to
be expressed become more accessible. ESM is about teaching us a new way to empower, trust and see ourselves. This ultimately involves getting us in touch with our authentic selves and our
innate wholeness. Eliminating many of the root causes of emotional imbalance serves to eliminate physical illness. The changes which have been observed are deep and lasting. In other words, a focus of ESM is to identify the root cause of a problem so that the problem or symptom can be eliminated, i.e. the focus of the work is not to "manage" our anxiety, but to eliminate it completely. As we open
ourselves to the energy, our natural and innate abilities begin to manifest - i.e. self-love, self-awareness, intuition, psychic abilities and all the gifts they bring, begin to blossom forth.
This is a journey of transformation.

One of the most exciting aspects of Energetic Self-Manifestation is its capacity to reprogram the subconscious mind.
Dr. Bruce Lipton underscores the importance of the subconscious in his book, The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles. (2005), wherein he offers an informative and thought provoking discussion of human programming. He notes that from birth to age six, children tend to show a predominance of Delta and Theta brain waves in their brain
activity. Hypnotherapists similarly drop their patients' brain activity into Delta and Theta because these low frequency brain waves put them into a more suggestible programmable state. According to Lipton, "this gives us an important clue as to how children, whose brains are mostly operating at these same frequencies can download the incredible volume of information they need to thrive in
their environment (p. 163).
During early development the child's consciousness has
not evolved enough to critically assess messages coming to him/her
from his/her environment. A child is like an uncritical sponge
absorbing messages that are received from many different
informational sources. Unaware, parents pass on messages to their
children, such as; "How can you be so stupid?", which leads them to
believe that they are not smart—which is downloaded into the subconscious memory as absolute fact. In this way, the fundamental behaviours, beliefs and attitudes we observe in our parents, become hard-wired as synaptic pathways in our subconscious minds (p. 164). As Lipton points out, once programmed into the subconscious mind, they control our biology for the rest of our lives unless we can
figure out a way to reprogram them.
In addition to early developmental experience or what we would term experientially acquired cellular memory, we submit that our beliefs and behaviours are also influenced by inherited cellular memory, i.e. cellular memory inherited from previous generations. This thesis is based on the reality that cells are energy and all forms of energy receive and transmit information. It
is further strengthened by documented experiences wherein individuals visiting certain geographical areas will receive remarkably accurate information (often a reliving of sorts) of some event or experience which has occurred there in the past. This is all part of that universal grid of cosmic consciousness. These acquired and inherited memories play a large role in terms of the
fear-based, self-limiting beliefs that we carry in the subconscious. Acquired and inherited memories have rendered as challenging past attempts to change behaviour based upon
self-limiting beliefs. Despite the gains made by traditional psychotherapy, its overall effectiveness has been limited by the knowledge we had available. Subconscious programming cannot be changed or cleared by therapy
which focuses on the symptom rather than the underlying root (caused
by self-limiting beliefs). Nor can conditioning in the cells be changed by talk therapy alone.
The efficacy of cognitive-behaviour therapy, considered one of the few empirically validated treatments of mood disorders, lies in the identification of underlying
self-limiting beliefs. Essentially the thought processes related to such beliefs are manipulated and managed.
All too often, there remain limitations to the level of change enacted because Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can only be applied to the conscious mind.
One of the features of ESM that contributes to its role as a highly effective instrument of change, lies in the ability of the Energy to clear cellular memory (both inherited and acquired)
from the subconscious mind. The ability to clear
old programming and reconnect us with adaptive, life-enhancing self
awareness, renders this form of treatment a permanent, powerful agent of cognitive and behavioural change.
ESM represents a highly fluid and dynamic process which is
both powerful and simplistic in its approach to growth. Our awareness of
ourselves as Energy as well as our relationship with Source Energy
is profoundly changing—likened to the evolution of transportation
over the last 100 years.
The New Energy paradigm encompasses ESM and Quantum
Energy, while methods that focus on meridians and chakras are part
of the Old Energy paradigm. The ESM approach gives everyone access to an effective form of growth and transformation.
The nature and application of psycho-spiritual principles utilized in the practice of ESM is reflected in the writings of such popular and. well-known authors as Deepak Chopra MD, Wayne Dyer Ph. D, Caroline Myss Ph. D., Rupert Sheldrake Ph. D, Marianne Williamson and Gary Zukav while the potential efficacy of ESM draws scientific support from the fields of epigenetics and
quantum physics. The recent book by Bruce Lipton Ph. D. entitled The Biology of Belief (2005) offers a highly readable analysis of "the new biology"- which, in serving to revolutionize scientists' understanding of the role of energy in the building blocks of life and matter, provides strong theoretical support for our clinical findings.

While Energetic Self-Manifestation (ESM) has yet to undergo rigorous empirical testing, clinical observation and client self-assessment on a case-by-case basis reveal consistently positive outcomes in the treatment of a wide range of emotional and psychological problems
including anxiety, depression, abuse and trauma. In describing their experiences with the Energy, clients
report feeling lighter and less burdened. Many report feeling a sense of becoming "more integrated",
facing their daily challenges and living their lives with more ease.
Also, following a session, it is common for clients to experience a
deep sense of well-being and/or euphoria.
Many individuals with extensive histories of chronic
anxiety, frequent panic attacks and the accompanying anticipatory
anxiety symptoms have been greatly reduced—and they have reported
that with consistent treatment, their symptoms have been completely eliminated.
Trauma survivors often describe themselves as feeling "cocooned" by
the Energy during their session. Moreover, following the re-experiencing of even highly traumatic material,
clients have been observed to leave therapy sessions stabilized and well-grounded without the need for additional intervention. This outcome has been so consistent that we
are confident in offering the promise of such stability and solidity to fearful clients as an encouragement for revisiting and processing a terrifying experience.
While it has yet to receive more formal empirical validation, to date we are greatly heartened by the efficacy which ESM demonstrates in the amelioration of deep-seated trauma symptoms. This extends to psychological conditions, such as Dissociative Identity Disorder, which arise out of severe traumatic experiences. We are similarly
encouraged by the promising results we have been
receiving in the use of ESM in the treatment of psychological and
emotional symptoms, such as: drug and alcohol addiction, sexual
addiction, disordered eating, and obsessions and compulsions.
Treatment formulation is predicated on the fact that we are all Energy Beings—transmitters
and receivers. From this
perspective, addictions start when we block a release of energy
in some form. For example, we experience fear, perhaps a fear of
embarrassment—avoiding our expression of an
authentic moment of truth. Rather than express this truth, which is a form of energetic release, we choose "to eat it" or silence ourselves. The more we sacrifice the energetic expression of who we are or what we feel through this "shutting down", the stronger the acting out
(symptoms) of the addiction become. The core root of addiction is
fear of pain—which serves the purpose of avoiding the anticipated pain, whether emotional or physical.
The tenacity of the addiction is directly related to the
anticipated level of pain.
It is our contention that the most effective way to
deal with this resistance to pain is through the Energy because it
addresses energetic issues/blocks at Its source. As previously noted,
not speaking our truth (i.e. expressing our feelings) or asking for what
we need, creates an energetic cut-off or block.
Based upon the converging findings of Science and Metaphysics, it is time for us to accept that we are
in fact Energy Beings. When we connect to ourselves as Energy Beings
and understand all that it means, it is reasonable that an
Energy-based process is most effective—and so begins our
transformation.
Interestingly, dramatic effects of the Energy have
also been noted while working with pets.
Six-year-old Welsh terrier, Daisy, is
characterologically an Alpha, diagnosed with "hardwiring" problems.
She responds to authority with inappropriate behavior, such as: a
combination of growling, barking, spitting, hissing and snapping.
Now, when the
Energy is directed to her, her growling ceases immediately and
turns to a soft contented sighing as she lays down and goes to sleep.
<TOP>
The only requirement with Energetic Self-Manifestation (ESM) is "to show up" with openness and intent.
While the effects of the Energy are subtle, the changes can be profound
and life-changing.
Everyone possesses the opportunity to consciously interface with the Energy. It is a choice expressed through
conscious intent and represents an innate gift—resulting in a
journey of integration and self-love. Ego and its self-limiting
illusions dissolve into personal empowerment and self-awareness. It
is the therapist's role to facilitate this process.
As Co-founders in the practice of Energetic Self-Manifestation (ESM), we would like to extend an invitation to
practitioners that would like to join us on this exciting journey. We believe that such an invitation will be well-received
by practitioners desiring to support their clients with a tool that
is profound and life-changing. Like Gayle, some Psychologists
recognize modality limitations despite their many years of academic
and professional preparation. In Gayle's case, it was a long journey before she found a therapeutic approach that she
considered to be personally, as well as professionally transformative in its capacity to change lives.
We invite scientist practitioners who are willing to
document research on the efficacy of ESM as we embrace scientific skepticism
and empirical validation of the findings we have both described and
documented.
