Frequently Asked Questions about
Holographic Repatterning®
Q. What is Holographic Repatterning?®
Holographic Repatterning® (HR) is a process to help you clear your old programming—beliefs, unwanted behaviors and negative emotions—all the “stuff” (both conscious and unconscious) that keeps you from the confidence, abundance, fulfillment, health and ease that are your natural state. It is for anyone who sincerely wants to get unstuck, and create positive changes.
Q. How does it work?
How we think, speak and act today is largely a reflection of our programming from the past. So often we react based on the past—what happened to us, and what we absorbed from our parents, teachers and others. Awareness of the past is useful—but awareness alone is usually not enough to shift the patterns.
To change our programming, we must address not only the mental level—our thoughts and limited beliefs, our identification with the past—but our emotions, our bodies, brain waves and other physical systems that were impacted by these past experiences. To do this, we need to access the deeper intelligence that is beyond our conscious thinking. Holographic Repatterning® offers an efficient and direct way to do just that.
In a repatterning session, we use kinesiology, or muscle checking as our guide. Through muscle checking we bypass the conscious mind—we access your body’s knowledge about how to heal itself. Muscle checking helps us pinpoint the specific patterns or core issues that are blocking us.
Once we have identified the pattern, we then actively clear it, or move it out of your system, using muscle checking to select the most optimal healing modality. We choose from a menu of healing modalities that have been proven to bring positive energy and higher frequencies. This leads to the easiest and most direct route to removing the emotional, mental, and energetic imprints held in your mind and body.
Over time, you become freer, happier and move into fuller expression of your essence, manifesting your highest potential for this life.
Q. How does HR lead to lasting change?
By changing the energy signature, or the frequency at the source of our problems, we can change our response to situations, and therefore the outcome. This transformation of energy allows us to create a new reality for ourselves: new or more fulfilling careers, improved relationships, more money and a feeling of greater abundance, radiant health and more energy for your life, focus and the ability to move forward with more ease and less struggle.
Q. How is HR unique?
First, it’s efficient. We quickly pinpoint the beliefs, behavior patterns, unresolved memories, and negative language that block us. Through the laser like clarity of muscle checking, no time is wasted--we get right to the point. Second, the HR process enables us to access information that could not possibly be known by the conscious mind, such as our experiences in the womb. Third, we have access to a vast range of healing systems and modalities through HR’s healing menu—unlike most practitioners who rely on one or several key modalities. We can provide what will work best for YOUR system at this time—it’s a highly tailored session. Finally, unlike talk therapy or bodywork, in HR we address issues on many levels at once—mental, emotional, physical and energetic. This holographic approach—looking at a pattern from many angles simultaneously—results in powerful, lasting and integrated benefits.
Q. What is the usual format for a session?
Sessions may be done in person, on the phone or by proxy (distance healing). A full session runs 75-90 minutes, although shorter sessions are possible. You may choose to work one-on-one, in a group, or as a couple.
Q. What are proxy sessions and how do they work?
Proxy sessions are a kind of long distance healing. These are often done for a parent on behalf of their child, for someone who is in the hospital, or someone who is too ill or weak, in other time zones, or for any other reason unable to work face to face or by phone. It’s also the way to do a repatterning session for those who are unable to speak, such as children in the womb, or animals.
In a proxy session, I first get the client’s permission to do the session, either directly or indirectly from the parent, guardian, or pet owner. Then, I get information as to the client’s problem or goal—from the client herself or from the parent/relative/pet owner who requested the session. Using muscle checking, I follow the Holographic Repatterning format and act as a proxy for the client as I perform the healing modalities on myself. At the completion of the proxy session, I call the client or person requesting the session and summarize it for them. I then explain and teach any modalities or follow-up actions needed.
Q. Can I use HR for specific short-term goals or events?
HR is great for specific goals! You can use HR to:
- support you during a transition such as marriage, career change, retirement, divorce, or a geographic move
- help you recover from trauma or the illness or loss of a loved one
- energize your job search, interview, or performance
- support you in a positive experience of labor and delivery
- enhance the benefit of medical, psychological and alternative treatments or personal growth processes
Q. Who created HR and how?
Chloe Wordsworth is the creator of Holographic Repatterning®. Chloe studied, used and integrated numerous methods, including Polarity Therapy, Acupuncture, sound healing, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and Edu-Kinesiology over 25 years, during her careers in substance abuse and then alternative healing. She kept asking: “What made one system work for some people, and not for others?What is the underlying basis is for true healing?” Her answer came through combining her practical observations and technical knowledge with the Holographic model into the HR process. Thus HR is a synthesis of many different healing systems. It has evolved into its current form since she first began teaching in the early 1990s. Chloe now teaches internationally, and has trained a number of teachers, with the number of accredited practitioners growing each year.
Q. What is the scientific basis of this work?
It is based on a new model of healing from quantum physics, which holds that matter, thought, everything that exists has an underlying vibrational energy signature. This energy signature, or frequency pattern, exists in a relationship to everything else. Everything resonates to its own vibration, and is also affected by the resonance of whatever is around it. Generally in HR, we use the principle of resonance to raise the frequency of something vibrating at a lower frequency (such as fear) by bringing in a higher vibration (such as unconditional love).
HR works by bringing in higher, more life giving and coherent (organized, harmonious) patterns, which replace the lower vibrations of our negative patterns or problems.
The term “resonance” comes from the study of sound and sound frequency waves. Studies have demonstrated that these frequencies not only create audible sound but also are in fact the organizing principle of matter. You can see a graphic demonstration of this in before and after pictures taken at a polluted lake in Japan. A scientist named Masaru Emoto guided a group of people to chant and send their intention towards cleaning this body of water. Without doing anything physically to purify the water, the lake was successfully restored. The photos clearly show molecular change. These results provide great hope and inspiration for healing our planet. (See the book Messages from Water, more info at www.hado.com). It’s astounding to consider what the effects of shifting frequencies can do for the human body that consists 75-80% of water!
To learn more about the science behind the HR model, see: The Holographic Universe, by Michael Talbot; Vibrational Medicine, by Richard Gerber, MD; and The Living Energy Universe, by Gary Schwartz and Linda Russek, PhDs.
Q. What does the idea of resonance have to do with Holographic Repatterning®?
When we resonate with something, it means we are holding that vibration in our systems, as though we are sounding the same note as what we resonate with. For instance, we might still resonate with a negative belief such as “I am unlovable,” despite having addressed this in therapy, or even if we know it’s not true. Or we fail to resonate with the positive, such as “I have perfect health.” So much of what we resonate with is unconscious. Thus the HR process helps first by bringing these patterns to our awareness—through muscle checking. Then through the modalities, we change our resonance—switching on for the positive, off for the negative.
Resonance is the link between vibration and matter, the link between thought and outcome. It is the mechanism by which subtle energies of thought and feeling create our reality. What we resonate with acts like a magnet, and determines what we experience in life. Modern science is gathering evidence and support for the teachings of ancient scriptures such as the Vedic texts of India about the nature of reality—that we create our world through our thoughts and feelings.
Q What is the connection between language and resonance? Why does HR muscle check the body’s resonance by using verbal statements and phrases?
For humans, language is the source of our programming, and it directs what we experience. Language acts as a bridge between the resonating frequencies and our conscious minds. For example, the words “no” or “don’t do it!” have a measurable de-energizing affect on the human body; the words “yes” or “you can do it!” have an uplifting and positive effect. Imagine the number of times that we have been either de-energized or uplifted by our thoughts or others’ words!
In HR we use language—in the form of words or statements—as an understandable representation of the frequencies being shifted. Language is the way our body and mind communicate. It’s similar to the way a computer’s operating system directs its internal processes. Language also helps to bring our unconscious programming into conscious awareness.
Group Repatterning FAQ
Q. What results might I expect from a group?
People have reported new optimism, release of anger and depression, clarity on their life direction, unexpected income, creative breakthroughs, career changes and better jobs. Positive change may happen in ANY area of your life. As with individual HR sessions, the change happens easily and naturally. You don’t have to try to be different, you just are!
Q. How much change can I expect?
How much your life will change depends upon you. Each group repatterning will shift that week’s issue for everyone participating in the workshop (from wherever in the world they may be participating). How fast, and how much change will happen depends on a number of factors. These factors include how long-standing or emotionally charged the topic is for you and how rapidly your system can process change. Another factor is your lifestyle, home and work environment, and whether there are other life stresses, relationships or situations that are either supporting you or slowing you down in making positive changes. (And being in the group may very well impact these "outer" conditions as well)
HR is powerful stuff, and it is sure to have an effect on anything you bring to it. Your ability to cooperate with the energetic shifts also plays a part. This doesn't mean you have to spend hours every day reading the notes or pounding affirmations into your brain, however--and thank God! There are two essential steps are: first, getting clear about your intentions--that you genuinely want to create a shift, and are willing to accept it and acknowledge it when it does occur.
Second, we can help the process greatly by simply being open, to allowing the possiblity of change that takes place without struggle, that it can happen easily and naturally. Many of us are imprinted with beliefs that change must take a long time, be painful and difficult, require drama or lots of delving into the past. Consciously or unconsciously, we are conditioned to see life as a struggle. These concepts are becoming outmoded as we humans are being flooded with new healing techniques and spiritual energy to help us tranform much more rapidly and with far less pain.
The other key factor in how much change will occur for you, is your ability to consistently complete your "Positive Actions." These Positive Actions are your homework. They are an important means by which the energetic shifts that were achieved at the repatterning become integrated into your individual being.
Q. Why do you offer an enhanced option for longer group series?
Sometimes the group session brings up feelings or issues that may need to be worked through individually in greater depth. Or you may simply need extra guidance in making choices or identifying next steps. This is why I offer an enhanced option, where you can receive extra coaching or private HR sessions for less than my usual fees, to boost the benefits of the group and move you past any roadblocks that may come up.
Q. How is this different from other courses or workshops?
Unlike other workshops, an HR group won’t give you a lot of handouts, or concepts and techniques that you need to learn and practice. It is experiential—old feelings and memories may come up to be healed, and you will get more insight and awareness into your patterns. The biggest difference with HR is that you won’t get a temporary emotional high—change takes place at a deep, core level. All you need to do is sign up, and do the positive actions.
Instead of seeking another emotional release, getting another workbook that sits on the shelf gathering dust, or learning a technique and then struggling to remember and apply it after the workshop is over, you can go straight to the heart of the problem and transform your life!
Q. Why did you say it was affordable and convenient?
Group sessions are as effective as one-on-on HR, yet cost much less per session. It is convenient because you don’t have to attend the group in person to get a benefit from it.
Q. Say that again! I can be part of the group without being there in person?
That’s right; you have the option to join any group via proxy or distance.
Q. What are the benefits of participating at a distance?
- It works: you get the same energy shift as those attending.
- It’s totally convenient—you don’t have to use your time traveling to and being present for the sessions. Perfect for all you short-on-time types!
Q. How can I participate in a group if I am not physically present?
Even if you are not there, you are participating in these ways:
-
You will be sending me information via your response to a brief questionnaire. These questionnaire responses will provide much of the basis for our work during the group repatterning. Your contributions will shape and define what we will be working on to shift around each week’s topic.
-
You will be doing your part (the Positive Actions). By completing the Positive Actions, you will be physically/ mentally incorporating all of the work and the results of the group repatterning into yourself. The Positive Actions are exercises or follow up actions to further integrate and maintain the changes created by the session. My intention with these Positive Actions is to keep them simple, easy and not time consuming.
-
The repatterning session itself works on you—even if you aren’t there in person, it still works. A repatterning works regardless of distance and time. This is one of the mind-blowing aspects of Holographic Repatterning, that you can receive the full benefits of a group even if you live far away. Yes, it’s hard to believe—but the experience will convince you.
Q. Is there any explanation for how this is possible?
The basis for this is the principle that “Intention moves energy”. When you join the group, you connect powerfully to your intention and that of the group, to create positive shifts in some area of your life. This is the principle that underlies the power of prayer, distance healing such as in Reiki, and other kinds of energy work. Science is now beginning to confirm this metaphysical or spiritual principle which has long been demonstrated and accepted by ancient traditions and mystics.
Q. Do I have to “tune in” or do anything while the group is in session?
The group repatternings themselves will be done for you. You don’t have to be present. You don’t have to be "receiving" them in any way as they are done (i.e. you don’t have to be hooked up by phone or computer, or even meditating to "receive the vibes" during the repatterning). You can be shopping, working, driving, or sleeping. It doesn’t matter. You get 100% of the benefits whether you are in the seminar room during the repatterning as they are done, or lying on the beach in Aruba.
Q. I’m sorry, but I can’t wrap my logical mind around this. How can this really work?
I sympathize—I do this work, and believe in it totally, yet even I wrestle with this. Let’s face it: we’re all schooled in Newtonian physics. We look for a tangible cause for events—something we can see, touch or measure in some way. But Holographic Repatterning is based on quantum physics: it’s a new paradigm.
Quantum physics has demonstrated what the ancient sages knew: that we are all linked together by unseen energies, so that what happens in one place can have an immediate impact somewhere else. We can be affected by each other without being physically close.
In the group repatterning, we are linked together by the intention we set. The group repatterning session puts that intention into motion. The positive actions complete or “seal” the effects of the session.
