Resonance Repatterning is a process for positive change that is based upon New Physics which states that all matter is energy. If all matter is energy, then everything has a frequency. Low back pain has a frequency, diseased organs have a frequency. Limiting belief systems have a frequency and negative thought patterns do, too. If you can optimize these frequencies, people notice profound changes in their lives. Resonance Repatterning is a process that optimizes these frequencies. And, it works.
When an individual experiences trauma on any level – physical, emotional, mental or spiritual – energetic blocks are created in the body-mind-spirit system. These blocks prevent the life energy from flowing freely through the system which may result in dis-ease in any aspect of life. Resonance Repatterning removes these blocks and allows the life force to flow freely again resulting in profound transformation.
Resonance Repatterning is based upon a fundamental belief that every part affects the whole. Its holistic approach to healing takes into consideration that the mind, body and spirit must be healed in order to live a full life.
