General Questions
What conditions respond to Theta Healing?
All medical conditions can be treated with Theta Healing. Each response to the healing is a personal journey depending on what beliefs are present at the time. Therefore, although you can treat all conditions with Theta, it is the client’s beliefs which affect the outcome.The practitioner works towards clearing any beliefs that the client has around their condition during a session, so that a healing will take place.
The digging technique used during Theta Healing will assist in revealing any beliefs or secondary gains the person may have in keeping their illness. For instance, “I have to have cancer for people to support me” and we can change this to “I can now receive all the support I need without having cancer”.
There are many beliefs that connect us with our medical conditions, Theta Healing is a way to access and resolve those connections so that we can release our physical and emotional imbalances and achieve the best possible health and wellbeing.
Can I use it with other treatments?
The wonderful thing about Theta is that you can use it whilst you are receiving other medical treatment. You can see any other medical specialist or natural therapists and know that what you work with in Theta Healing can only be beneficial for you and not disrupt any other treatment you may already be receiving.
Do I need to be religious to do Theta Healing?
You do not need to be religious to receive Theta Healing or to be a practitioner, although you do need to believe that something is going to happen during a healing and you may need to change some beliefs in order to accept this.This technique is available to us all as a healing source that we can all access for global change. It has no doctrines specific to any religious group. We are simply tapping into a healing source that is available to us all, but we do need to believe we are actually accessing something and we may each call it what our personal beliefs align with.
Does it work with animals?
It works very successfully with animals. Sometimes pets take on their owner’s illnesses as their way of loving us unconditionally, so often the owner is the one who needs a healing session. Remote viewings on animals are as accurate as they are on people. We can use the owners for surrogate muscle-testing (the muscle-testing shows us what we need to work on) or the practitioner can act as the surrogate tester for telephone consults. Melinda also covers how Theta works with animals in her workshops and those who become certified practitioners can attend practice groups designed for those who have a special interest in working with animals.
How can I found out more information about Theta Healing?
To find out more you can read Vianna Stibal’s book “Theta Healing” available from Melinda for $40.00 plus postage. This book is available for FREE with Basic workshop. You can come to a free talk by registering your interest with Melinda so that she can contact you with the next date of a session.
You are also welcome to contact Melinda with any questions you may have. You can go to www.thetahealing.com and find out more about Vianna Stibal and her wonderful work!
Can I just read Vianna’s book “Theta Healing” and be able to do the technique?
Vianna Stibal’s book is a valuable reference tool, but does not replace attending a workshop with an experienced instructor where you will receive support and guidance working as a group and with a partner. It is requirement that you must attend a Basic workshop to become Certified as a Practitioner to use the technique.
Theta Healing Workshops
Do I need previous experience working in natural therapies to attend a workshop?
There is no expectation or requirement that anyone wishing to learn the technique has any previous experience or background with natural therapies or healing.
In fact, this is a technique that appeals to anyone attracted to find out more about Theta Healing or for those who have seen or heard amazing feedback and results from the technique. Participants of any occupation will be able to learn and practice Theta Healing.
I want to be a practitioner, how many courses do I need to be certified in?
Once you have attended a Basic workshop you can use this technique with others. However, if you are interested in working as a Theta Healing practitioner, what will attract clients to you is your level of expertise. It is recommended that to improve your skills in seeing clients, you attend the Advanced workshop and Intuitive Anatomy.
Attending more workshops, will of course, broaden your knowledge and increase your confidence when working with different issues. Intuitive Anatomy will also provide you with an opportunity to work with real clients, whilst gathering experience working on different emotional issues and the relationship they have with the body.
Practice sessions are also an opportunity to achieve a higher level of understanding of what the technique can do.
Who is your instructor and what qualifications does she have?
Your instructor is Melinda Olsen, who has been Certified as a Theta Healing practitioner since 2003 and taught by Vianna Stibal, founder of Theta Healing, to instruct the series of workshops. Melinda is very experienced in using Theta Healing both as a practitioner and as an instructor. Melinda also has a background in Kinesiology and as a Natural Therapist.
What type of people do Theta Healing workshops?
People from all walks of life come to these workshops. Often they come because they say that the word “Theta Healing” keeps coming up for them and they feel compelled to find out more. Often they know someone who has had an amazing healing experience and they too want to know what it feels like.
This technique appeals to all cultures, because it is not aligned with any particular religion or group. We are very simply connecting ourselves to a universal healing energy, which is a technique that anyone from any culture or background, can learn and receive a healing from.
How can I attend a workshop when I live in the country?
If you have sufficient interest in your town or suburb, Melinda will travel to teach workshops. Melinda will also forward you brochures on workshops so that you can pass this to anyone else who would like to know more in your town.
The number of people required to run a private workshop depends on the location. Melinda can also assist you with local information should you wish to find accommodation whilst attending workshops in Glen Forrest if you are from out of town.
Can I repeat the courses?
At a very heavily discounted price, you can repeat all of the workshops. Although, it is not necessary to repeat the workshops, your level of confidence in doing the technique will improve greatly if you attend these workshops twice and would be very beneficial particularly for those wishing to use Theta Healing in their own practice.
Theta Healing Practice Sessions
How often are the practice sessions and what do they cost?
The practice sessions are held monthly in Glen Forrest. The practice sessions cost $20.00 for a 2 hour session.
Dates and times will be posted on this website. Extra practice sessions will also be organised to suit the needs of participants. Some groups will be focused on animal healing and details for those practices will also be posted on this site
What will I get out of coming to practice sessions?
The practice sessions are essential to receive updated information about the technique and answer any questions or resolve issues you may have. Melinda will also regularly demonstrate the “digging” technique for people wanting to gain more knowledge of the types of questions to ask and how to work towards finding bottom line beliefs.
These 2 hour practice sessions are an opportunity to work with a partner as Melinda shares practical advice in dealing with client situations and to meet with others learning the technique, so that you can connect outside of practice hours to use Theta.
Theta Healing Consultations
Will I need more than one session?
This really depends on the client and the issue. Most issues clear in one session, although some may need a follow-up session or several more appointments depending how deep the issue or trauma is and how many beliefs are holding it in place.
Is there anything I need to do before a consult?
You need to make sure you drink a reasonable amount of water. The water is very important to be able to carry out accurate muscle-testing on the client. Without being fully hydrated, muscle-testing can become inaccurate. It is important to keep this regime up, especially after a session.
How will I feel after a session?
Everyone’s response to a Theta Healing session is different, but a common response is “it changed my life”. You may feel more positive, increased enthusiasm, have more energy, feel more alive than you’ve ever felt before, and these are just some of the comments that follow from clients receiving Theta.
How does a consultation by phone work?
The infusion of healing is sent to the client in the same way as it takes place in a session with a practitioner in a consult room. The only difference with a consult by phone, is that the practitioner will become the surrogate person for the muscle-testing.This means that when the practitioner asks the client questions, the practitioner can test on themselves whether it is a “strong” or “weak” response and this shows the practitioner which beliefs are “yes” and which ones are “no”.
For example, with the statements “I deserve to be successful” or “I’m allowed to be happy” the practitioner tests their own muscle when client makes a verbal statement. Muscle-testing confirms which beliefs need to be released by the client.
