Overcoming Height Phobia
"Raes, I haven't had a chance to REALLY test my development and the work you did for me back in November until last week. I am still amazed. I went to Denver to visit family and we took a trip to Royal Gorge. I really wasn't sure if I had conquered my fear of heights, so I thought I would start small and I rode the Incline Railway (the steepest railway on the planet). That went good, but it was a downhill ride and I knew that would be okay. When we got to the bottom, I surprised myself by being able to stand at the rail on the landing platform and look out over the river and up at the Suspension Bridge.
Well, the ride back up the gorge on the incline was great - no fluttering stomach, no clenched jaw, no closed eyes. However, I told my sister-in-law that there was no way I would be able to go on the bridge. I would just wait while everyone else went across. The family then went on the bridge (the Highest suspension bridge in the world!).
I stood back and struck up a conversation with another family, and I just kind of followed them on the bridge. I thought 'well, this isn't too bad, I'll just put one foot in front of the other and if I get scared, I'll stop and go back'. I NEVER GOT SCARED! It was wonderful! Again, I was able to stand at the rail and look out over the river. My family could not believe it. We went on from there to Inspiration Point and then to the Aerial Tram (the world's longest single span tram).
Tell Us Your Success Story!
While on the tram, I stood in the front, do you hear me? IN THE FRONT, AT THE WINDOW! I can't express to you how wonderful I feel. I am so grateful to you for the PSYCH-K® work you did for me. I feel I have really overcome my fear. There were little things this past year that gave me hope, such as being able to cross the Wilmington bridge and being able to once again go up escalators, but this was the ultimate test."

Hot Flash Reductions
"When I hit menopause, the hot flashes hit with a vengeance - every 45 minutes 24/7. I retreated to use of hormones for 5 years. They helped initially, but eventually the side effects of the hormones became worse and the hot flashes returned, so that was abandoned. I tested low on progesterone cream, and when I started using that the hot flashes dropped in half. Other experiments with a wide variety of herbal remedies had no effect.
So, at the beginning of 2005 the hot flashes came about every 2 hours 24/7. My sleep was disrupted between 4-10 times a night. Each episode lasted about 10 minutes and included a particularly unpleasant hot flash in my head - heat would radiate so obviously from my head anyone could feel it.
In desperation, I went to Raes 3 times for PSYCH-K® treatments. This immediately dropped the frequency and intensity about in half. Then I took the basic course and continued to use PSYCH-K® myself over the next 4 months. At this point, I still have them but they have been so dramatically reduced that they are now a minor annoyance. Most nights I will be awakened only once or twice - and they will be over in about 2 minutes. During the day, I may have 2-4 but I don't feel them in my head at all, they are barely noticeable, and they disappear within 1-3 minutes. This has been a huge improvement in my quality of life!"

Dealing With Loss
" After taking the basic PSYCH-K® course with Raes, I introduced the concepts to my sister. At that time she was suffering from depression and anxiety due to the death of her husband and the major life changes resulting from that. Raes did 3 core balances with her, and I worked with her over about 4 days.
She was unable to muscle test, so we both had to be surrogates for her. She reinforced our balances by repeating them herself. Within a week she noticed a significant calming effect. A month later, she was back in school, doing well and reported feeling peaceful. She has not had a "crying jag" since the treatment, has not had any anxiety attacks and is purposefully moving on with her life."

Breaking Free of Depression
My depression has lifted since our workshop, one that has plagued me for years. I want to thank you for the healing experience I received during your demonstration on me of the PSYCH-K® Balance.
My mother told me about fifteen years ago that I was sexually molested as an infant. I went on to find out that I had been abused until the age of nine by a close family member. This information devastated my identity, my sanity, and my relationships to my family. I spent six months in bed in a depression just this year. During your demonstration, this emotional backlash came up for me and I felt it resolve in a way that years of therapy and medication haven't touched.
It has been several weeks since our workshop and I have enjoyed Thanksgiving without my usual grief and still feel real hope for my future. I have continued working on the balances and look forward to my life now as I am watching PSYCH-K® make changes in me and my attitudes that I thought were impossible.

Living a Pain-Free Life
I attended one of your PSYCH-K® Basic workshops earlier this year. Specifically, we addressed the severe neck pain that I have suffered from for years. I just wanted to let you know that by the time I had driven back to my home in Columbus, I realized that my neck had stopped hurting. At the time I thought this was interesting, but I did have occasional pain-free days anyway, so I reserved my judgment. I went to bed and I woke up the next morning with no pain. A little stiffness, but it did not hurt. "Wow, that's really neat," I thought, "but we'll see what tomorrow holds." Next day, same thing - no pain. Ok, now I was starting to be impressed.
After about a week like this, I decided to REALLY put things to the test. I went to sleep one night on (drumroll please…) SOMEONE ELSE’S PILLOW! This may not seem like an amazing feat, but you have to realize how habitual it had become for me to baby my neck at all times. Honestly, my neck pain figured into everything I did from sleeping positions and pillows to which side of a conference room I would choose to sit.
I slept on someone else’s pillow that night and I woke up PAIN FREE. I could NOT believe it. Honestly, I couldn’t believe it. I kept switching pillows every few nights just to see what would happen. And I even slept using feather pillows when visiting my mother which was absolutely impossible just a few months ago.
Since attending your workshop, I have been able to do the most amazing thing in years and that is live my life without constantly being on-guard about my neck and constantly fearful that something I do will result in massive pain. I can sleep in all kinds of positions. I can look up to the sky and lean over to look under things without worrying about it. I can exercise and run and lift weights and it is just amazing to me.
I had already explored many different avenues of conventional medicine in my search for a cure to my neck pain and the results were always the same: nothing physically anomalous which could account for the extreme level of pain I was experiencing. So I knew there was a large subconscious component to my pain, but I had no idea how to begin to address it.
And within a matter of a few minutes, PSYCH-K® helped me clear my subconscious need for that pain and it hasn’t come back since. So I want to say thank you so much for teaching me PSYCH-K® and helping me with my personal issue.
