happens and what can be done)

We are not our body. We are a spirit. The brain is not the mind. The
mind is an energy field that communicates between you (a spirit) and
the brain. The brain is a physical ”switchboard‘ between the mind
and the body.
Research has shown that words are stored in a specific area on the
left side of the brain. What is not so well known is that there is
an equivalent area in the right half of the brain which is also
involved with language. Both these areas are called the Wernicke’s
area. According to Professor Julian Jaynes, lecturer in Psychology
at Princeton University, up until around 3,000 years ago mankind was
basically not conscious as he is today. He did not think in terms of
concepts, and he was not introspective (i.e. he did not ’turn
inwards‘ and think about himself).
Instead he operated with what is called a "bicameral mind". The
bicameral mind was man’s mind before he developed
self-consciousness. Early man did not make any decisions on his own.
The concept of "self", of being independent and self-reliant did not
exist.
Whenever a decision had to be made, early man looked for a "sign"
from an outside authority, such as a king or a god, to tell him what
to do. For example, if he went along a road which divided into two
roads, he might throw some stones into the air to see which way they
fell, to tell him which road to take.
Other signs that early man used to determine what action he should
take when he was faced with a decision were often "voices" which he
heard in his head and which brought immediate obedience.
Experiments have shown that if the Wernicke’s area in the left half
of the brain is electrically stimulated during speech, it will
interfere with the ability to talk properly, almost halting speech.
The same type of stimulation to the Wernicke’s area in the right
brain, however, causes a person to hear "voices" or "commands".
These are usually of an authoritarian or dictatorial nature, and can
be identified as the voice of one who was feared, admired or "looked
up to" by the person being stimulated. We call these commands "Wernicke‘s
commands“, because they are commands stored in the Wernicke‘s area
of the brain.
The two Wernicke’s areas are connected to each other by a thin
bridge of tissue. This is where the term "bicameral mind" comes
from. It seems that the "voices of the gods" were in fact internal
dialogue coming from the right half of the brain.
If mankind was to become civilized, this simple mind had to greatly
improve and consciousness had to develop. However, the bicameral
tendency is still present today! It is the bicameral mind, the right
side of the Wernicke’s area, which we "hear" when we hear those
little words of self-invalidation and sabotage.
The ’authorities’ who might have put commands into this mind are no
longer "gods" - they are anyone that we might have looked up to at
some time. These can include parents, teachers, peers, politicians,
and doctors.
Have you have ever been told to grow up, shut up, eat up, forget
that or give up? Have you ever been told you’re mad, you’re bad,
you’re stupid or you’ll never make it?
If somebody you thought was powerful said, you’re too fat, you’ll
never change, you’ll forget, you’re a slow learner, eat ALL your
food, you’re not good enough, strong enough, pretty enough, clever
enough; you’ll go to hell, etc., then they may have made an ’entry’
in your right Wernicke’s area, an implanted command, which is still
influencing you to this day!
When people do any work or therapy to get rid of negative beliefs,
the beliefs they try to get rid of things are usually worded as "I
…" eg. "I’m not good enough" or "I’m too fat". But "find the truth,
and it will set you free". These beliefs are not filed in the brain
(which is like a super powerful computer) under an "I" point of
view. The commands are entered as said by another person, as if the
person is right there, talking to you! For example, the belief may
be "I‘m no good“ but the original command (which is stored in the
brain) was "You‘re no good“.
In 1996 Australian kinesiologist David Bridgman made an astounding
discovery. He realized how to remove negative beliefs from the Right Wernicke‘s area of the brain!
The key to removing these beliefs is that they are stored in the
brain as though another person said them e.g. "You won’t remember".
The brain then tried to make sense of the command and translated it,
for example, as "I won’t remember". This command then interferes
with the person. To get rid of the command you must find the EXACT
wording of the command, which in this case is "You won’t remember".
This specific kinesiology procedure enables a person to REMOVE the
sabotaging commands from the brain. Instant improvement is generally
noted in the person who has done this.
These commands are hidden in the brain a bit like the way that ’drop
down menus’ are hidden on the computer screen. Sometimes you can’t
see the menus, but they are still there. When you do the correct
kinesiology procedure, the sabotaging commands "drop down" and then
you can delete them. But they do not all appear at once. It can take
a number of sessions to get rid of them.
I can still remember the evening when a group of about 30
kinesiologists learned the Wernicke‘s correction for the first time
from David Bridgman. After being taught by David, we paired up to
work on another person and to be worked on. I was surprised how
easily the man who was working on me was able to help me to work out
what the sabotaging commands in my brain were. He didn‘t look all
that psychic, but after I told him what areas in my life I was
having trouble with, he asked me a few questions and within a few
attempts he had the sentence we were looking for. When it was my
turn to work on him, I saw that it was almost as if the sentence was
written on his forehead!
The next day I had a very powerful experience. I was feeling VERY
happy, after having a number of Wernicke‘s commands removed from me.
I was sitting on a bus in the early morning, traveling with a lot of
people who were going to work. I was seated at the front of the bus
facing the rest of the people. I was observing how very sad and
depressed they looked, and that they almost had a 'gray‘ color to
their faces. Suddenly, it was almost as though again I could "see“
the Wernicke‘s commands written on their foreheads ś and there were
hundreds of them!!! Some of them were VERY negative. My heart went
out to them.
Now I almost cringe sometimes when I hear the things that people say
to their children, for example in the supermarket. I wish I could
explain to them that they need to find a more supportive way to say
what they need to say. I was told once at a seminar that a study
showed that the average child hears over 300 negative things a day,
and about 30 positive ones. (If anyone can advise me of the
reference for this study, I would be very grateful).
This is a simple, revolutionary and very powerful procedure.
The key to doing these corrections successfully is to get the EXACT
wording.
How to Test For Wernicke’s Commands
1. As for a normal
kinesiology session, first do the pretests.
Test both Anterior Deltoid and Supraspinatus muscles. Then test for
dehydration, switching and blocking. Once everything is in order,
proceed to step 2. 2. Find an area in life that the client is still having trouble
with. 3. Work out a phrase that could create difficulty in this area,
as it is said BY ANOTHER. For example, the sentence would be "You
are not good enough“. (Not "I am not good enough“). 4. Have the client say the phrase out loud, while:
a) You test one
Anterior Deltoid AND
b) The client touches the right side of the
Wernicke‘s area of the brain,
which is about 3 fingers posterior of Neurovascular 9 (just above
and just behind the ear).
If the arm goes weak when they say this
sentence (while they touch the right Wernicke‘s area), you have the
correct wording. If the arm stays strong, you have not got the
correct wording. 5. Once you have found the phrase which causes the arm to test
weak, ask the client who said that to them. When they name the
correct person, the arm will go weak again when you test.
Ask the client to turn their eyes
UP and to the RIGHT, while they
continue to touch the right Wernicke‘s area of the brain. Have them
say the phrase out loud again. It should now test STRONG. If it
tests strong now, you have the correct wording. (If it tests weak it
is likely that a part of the person‘s mind does not want to face
what happened to the person. Try doing Emotional Stress Release.
That is, put a hand on their forehead, covering both sides of their
forehead for a few minutes or more).
HOW TO CORRECT FOR WERNICKE’S COMMANDS
A) DANGER!!! Be careful not to damage the eyes. The touching must be
as GENTLE and LIGHT as possible. TRIM ALL NAILS SHORT !!!!! During
the breathing, do not go too fast. Allow the client to breathe at
their own speed so as not to cause hyperventilation).
While doing all corrections, have the client think of the phrase. Do
the "Test for Wernicke‘s Commands“ as outlined above.
1.
Ask the client to Look UP to the RIGHT while they Breathe IN
and
think of the phrase. At the same time you GENTLY touch the left side
of
their LOWER eyelid and LIGHTLY push in the direction they are
looking
during the breathing IN cycle, then release. (This is to lightly
stretch the
fascia (envelope) of the eye muscles).
Allow them to Breathe OUT
2. Ask the client to Look UP to the LEFT while they Breathe IN.
At
the same time you GENTLY touch the right side of their LOWER eyelid
and LIGHTLY push in the direction they are looking during the
breathing
IN cycle, then release.
Allow them to Breathe OUT.
3. Ask the client to Look UP to the RIGHT while they Breathe IN.
At
the same time you GENTLY touch the left side of their LOWER eyelid
and
LIGHTLY push in the direction they are looking during the breathing
IN
cycle, then release.
Allow them to Breathe OUT.
4. Ask the client to Look DOWN to the LEFT while they Breathe IN.
At the same time you GENTLY touch the right side of their UPPER
eyelid
and LIGHTLY push in the direction they are looking during the
breathing
IN cycle, then release.
Allow them to Breathe OUT.
5. Ask the client to Look UP to the LEFT while they Breathe IN.
At the
same time you GENTLY touch the right side of their LOWER eyelid and
LIGHTLY push in the direction they are looking during the breathing
IN
cycle, then release.
Allow them to Breathe OUT.
6. Ask the client to Look DOWN to the RIGHT while they Breathe
IN.
At the same time you GENTLY touch the left side of their UPPER
eyelid
and LIGHTLY push in the direction they are looking during the
breathing
IN cycle, then release.
Allow them to Breathe OUT.
B) Re-test with the person repeating the phrase and eyes to the
front (while they touch the right Wernicke‘s area of the brain). The
muscle should now test strong ś indicating that the command has been
removed.
C) Say "thank you“. That is, acknowledge the client.
D) Say "What‘s
the next one?“ This encourages the command to come to the mind of
the client, so that you can find the next phrase to work on. Repeat
the test and the correction as above.
HELPFUL HINTS
Many clients when asked for commands that sabotage them will say
phrases from an "I“ point of view. This isn‘t it.
-
Whatever they say
starting with "I“ . . . get them to repeat starting with "You . . .
"
-
When they name phrases or people who are not the ones you are
looking for, don‘t invalidate their answer. Merely ask "What else?“
or "Who else?“
-
The phrase is usually associated with whatever the client is talking
about. For example, if they say, "I can‘t think of anything“ ask
them what someone may have said to stop them thinking. It may be
that someone said "you‘re stupid“. If they start talking about an
incident from their past, the phrase was probably said during that
incident.
-
If they have a problem with remembering who said the phrase to them,
I also ask them who may have THOUGHT this at them. I have found that
sometimes people pick up a thought from a person if they just THINK
it (after all, sometimes it‘s pretty clear what someone is thinking
ś they don‘t really need to say it out loud).
-
The phrase can sometimes be just a one-word insult, such as "fatty“.
-
The key is to get the EXACT wording. You may need to add words such
as "very“. For example, it may not be "You‘re hopeless“. It may be
"You‘re very hopeless“ or "You‘re bloody hopeless“.
-
If the phrase was said in a language other than English, get them to
say the sentence in the language in which it was said (after
translating to you what they are saying).
