Does your life ever feel like the movie Groundhog Day? The same conflict playing out over and over again; repeatedly finding yourself feeling ripped off, let down, or sidelined; all your intimate relationships ending in the same unsatisfactory fashion; always missing out on what you want, while you watch others achieve their goals?
Do you ever want to scream “Why does this keep happening to me????” The theory behind a groundbreaking EFT technique called Matrix Reimprinting may just hold the answer to that question… and the process of Matrix Reimprinting could be exactly what you need to break the repetitive patterns in your life that were formed by past events, and free yourself up for a happier present and future.
It’s a truism among psychologists, psychotherapists, and indeed many members of the public, that what happened to us in childhood affects how we behave as adults. But how do our early traumas continue to exert such an influence on us, and how can we resolve them and develop new behaviours that are conducive to our happiness?
In 1944, Max Planck, the man considered by many to be the father of quantum theory, proposed that there is a matrix of energy that provides the ‘blueprint’ for everything in our world, including our personal relationships.
When we experience a trauma – whether ‘Big T’ traumas such as a car accident, death of a loved one, or sexual abuse; or ‘small t’ traumas such as being bullied, or getting separated from Mummy at the shops – a part of us splits off and goes into the matrix.
These dissociated parts are called Energy Consciousness Holograms, or ECHOs, in Matrix Reimprinting. They are like holographic ‘pictures’, holding the sensory aspects of the event, as well as the feelings and thoughts that we experienced, and the beliefs that we formed, as a consequence.
While ever these pictures remain in our field, we continually tune into them on an unconscious level, and they affect our health, happiness, and the people and circumstances we attract into our lives.
If you keep finding yourself in situations you don’t want to be in, experiencing feelings you don’t want to have, it’s time to examine the pictures you have unconsciously stored in your matrix!
During a Matrix Reimprinting session, you step back into a memory of a past event that resonates with a problem you’re experiencing now. You interact with the ECHO that formed as a consequence of this event, and has been trapped in the Matrix ever since. You work directly on your ECHO, tapping on him or her in your imagination, and, under the ECHO’s direction, transforming the memory in ways that bring healing and resolution to the ECHO.
The ECHO can say and do what you wished you’d said and done, bring in new resources, replace dysfunctional beliefs formed at the time of the trauma with ones that promote health, happiness and personal success; and create a new picture of the memory that can be ‘uploaded’ into the matrix to muscle out the old one that’s been causing so much distress.
That’s exactly what Ruth* decided to do, to heal her relationship with her adult daughter, Amanda*. While Ruth enjoyed a good relationship with her other daughter, there had always been strain, and frequently conflict, between Ruth and Amanda. No matter how hard Ruth tried, she just couldn’t get close to Amanda.
To commence our Matrix Reimprinting work, we chose a scene that Ruth could vividly recall in her imagination: herself, heavily pregnant (in fact, several weeks overdue) with Amanda, all by herself in a city far from her home, feeling totally alone, and terribly oppressed by her precarious financial situation.
Ruth tapped on her ECHO’s loneliness and strain, then brought into the picture the resources her ECHO needed to feel safe and secure: money to buy food, new clothes for her children, a car, and supportive friends.
The lesson Ruth’s ECHO had learned about life during this difficult period was that life was full of problems, and there were never enough material resources to feel safe. These were, of course, the feelings that had dogged Ruth all her life, although she now owned her own home and had experienced much happiness in life.
Ruth was able to recount to her ECHO how successful she had been at becoming financially secure, and how resourceful she had been in solving problems she had encountered throughout her life. She felt a dramatic shift in her ECHO’s beliefs about life.
After uploading the ‘new, improved’ version of Ruth’s picture into the matrix, we discussed what it must have been like for Ruth’s baby, who was born severely postmature and with persistent projectile vomiting. Although Ruth had tried to understand Amanda before, she had never been able to connect with her experience at this level.
But having given compassion to her own ECHO, and brought about her healing, she was now able to feel deep compassion for Amanda.
That night, I received an email from Ruth:
“Wanted firstly to say thank you for this morning. It was quite an amazing exercise and I now have insights into myself and Amanda that I’ve never had before. Decided a couple of weeks ago that these fights must not happen ever again and realised the only way for this to happen was for me to walk a mile in Amanda’s shoes. Can’t believe how much insight I’m getting as to how difficult it has been to walk in her shoes. Thanks so much for these insights.
What I mainly want to mention to you is that even though things have ‘worked out’ to some extent inside of myself there was a deep unhappiness. I began to believe that I’d moved into a chronic depressive state. WELL, after doing the tapping work with you this morning for the first time in months and months (literally months and months) I feel absolutely and delightfully happy. It is quite incredible. Am so thrilled. Thank you so much. Amazing stuff Robyn. Thanks again so very much.”
You may worry that this process is a kind of denial of what actually happened. But the insights of quantum physics teach us that we have an unlimited number of possible pasts or futures. Matrix Reimprinting helps us tune into one of these possibilities that is more resourceful, while releasing the stress and trauma that we hold in our body-mind and body-field, due to traumatic life events.
Matrix Reimprinting has a diverse range of applications, including helping to overcome
1. Addictions;
2. Phobias;
3. Allergies;
4. Negative core-beliefs;
5. Birth traumas; and
6. Relationship issues
