RPT - my experience

Valeria Moore's testimonial

What is RPT?

How it's different from other therapies  

My experience

Reference Point Therapy (RPT) arrived on the scene in March of 2009. I found RPT at the end of April and knew immediately, right down to my bones, that it was right for me. That was before I'd even looked into it properly. When my heart and my gut speak to me so strongly I definitely pay attention and my decision was instantly made.

A word-of-mouth explosion immediately followed that March appearance and because of popular pressure the founders, Simon and Evette Rose, are now part way through a world tour of teaching that took them from home in Melbourne, Australia at the end of May. They won't get home again until next April.

The huge demand for the RPT courses worldwide has been incredible to watch and be part of. I took Level 1 and 2 in Liverpool in September then completed Level 3 in London in October so I can now teach. There are only a few of us registered to teach at the moment but that is growing as I speak.

Valeria Moore's testimonial

One of the things that helped me decide so quickly was seeing a testimonial from Valeria Moore, respected therapist and author of "Healer Wisdom". I have my friend Denise to thank for forwarding that to me. Val carries enormous credibility for me so her words had great impact. Here is that testimonial. 

  

"Many of you know Simon Rose     , an experienced healing teacher and long time supporter of Healer Wisdom.  Last year Simon let me know he was changing the way he practiced healings, shifting the focus from "belief work" to trauma work.  His new work has gained a lot of publicity, though it was only in recent weeks that I've had the opportunity to have a healing with him. I'd like to share the results of that healing with you.

I have had problems with my physical heart for several years.  I had learned to live with daily pain in my heart for years.  I have tried many alternative therapies.  With gratitude and respect to all the wonderful healer friends who have helped me, I would experience some relief but then the pain and fatigue would creep back . (This is my journey and not their fault. I just haven't been able to get to the bottom of it till now).

A couple of weeks ago the room went black and I briefly lost consciousness.  My pulse and blood pressure were off the charts, literally.  The blood pressure cuff would not register my pulse or my blood pressure.  I went to see an herbalist and dear friend.  She attempted to get answers from my energy systems as to what herbs would be best.  My energy fields were in a state of chaos.  I could not muscle test.  It was like there was no life energy present to test.  I could feel my life energy separating from the physical (way too much drama).  I became motivated to find a solution.

Simon Rose      had been telling me about his new process called Reference Point Therapy.  After hearing about my heart's condition, he called me to guide me through his new process.  During the session I would feel physical shifts and there was a sweetness to the energy. Imagine my delight when the pain that had been my constant companion over the last several years was gone.  The next morning I could feel the air going deeply  and clearly into my lungs.  I climbed Tacoma Dome District Hill two days in a row.  For those of you in the Puget Sound area of the United States you know this is a long steep hill.  I feel energized.  Actually, this is the most energy I have had in years.  I had my herbalist friend check the cardiac points.  They were all strong.  

Now here's the best part:  One of the ways that I had dealt with emotional heart pain in the past was to numb it out.  This was discovered during the Reference Point Therapy process.  I was finding security in creating numbness!  The morning after my session with Simon I felt an expansive state of love and oneness for all those parts of my life where I experienced pain.  Imagine being able to fill your heart with love for all those people and experiences that have hurt your heart. 

Simon described to me that what's different about his new process is that it actually gets to the bottom of things. Most of his clients and students are experienced healers and healing teachers who have that "something" that they have never been able to heal. In almost every case his new technique gets to the bottom of it.  If my experience with him is anything to go by, I believe exactly what he's saying.

The basic approach is to get "underneath" our negative beliefs by finding the earliest reference point for the trauma that created those beliefs in the first place. To me this is a different approach.  Simon has broken his new research down into several levels. His basic Level 1 process teaches you how to trace an emotion back to the earliest reference point for that trauma (which may be in the womb).  The Level 2 is more advanced and intuitive, focusing on spiritual and intuitive growth through this work, including reaching states of enlightenment through clearing trauma. 

Simon has put a lot of video demonstrations of his work including step-by-step instructions on his blog so that you can start playing with it."

 I immediately went to Simon's website and, to cut a long story short, here I am offering you consultations and courses in RPT and it's only October 27^th.

Valeria is now the CEO (I don't think she's chosen a title yet) of RPT. Simon and Evette handed over administrative control at the end of the summer, wishing to concentrate their energies on research and teaching and growing RPT.

So what is RPT?

There is nothing truly new under the sun. Every new thing develops out of something else and, if it's worthwhile, pushes the boundaries a little further and hopefully simplifies. RPT is no exception and takes as its basis, with full credit given, the work of Grant McFetridge (www.peakstates.com), Soleira Green (www.soleiragreen.com)and Dr Huw Len (Ho 'Oponpono) . There's also a sprinkling of NLP in there which is great.

You can read Simon and Evette's story and some background on the work of those three people on www.referencepointtherapy.com so I won't repeat the whole thing here.  What I will do is outline the basic principles underlying the work.

The very bottom premise of RPT is that any traumatic response (ranging from discomfort to agony, from self-sabotaging patterns to outright destructive behaviour, from mild irritation to outright breakdown and so on) rests on an earlier event or trauma that sensitized us by creating an emotional association or tone. This event could have taken place within our lifetime or, more likely, in the womb. It could also lie in our ancestry. We carry information from all our ancestors; it's part of our biology. Most of this work deals with biology though the soul also features strongly.

We can only have a traumatic response if we are already sensitized. As an extreme example, two soldiers could go through the same battle side by side, experiencing the same horrors and losing the same friends. Both feel pain, terror, outrage. One emerges desperately sad and carries awful memories that will always be with him should he choose to look but he goes on to lead a normal and stable life. The other is virtually catatonic, suffers flashbacks and waking nightmares. The difference? One was already sensitized in some way.

Another very illustrative example involves bee stings. Some people, if stung, go into anaphylactic shock and will die unless adrenaline is administered. Why? That person has already been stung and his body created the wrong antibodies. Anaphylaxis never occurs at the first sting.

So in RPT we are looking for that first sting. It does not have to be a major event. Something relatively minor can be seen, felt or experienced in some way. An association is created. Each time something happens that echoes the association it is reinforced. This can eventually manifest as beliefs, programs and disease. Thousands of beliefs can rest on that one single association or trauma. Find it and clear it and the whole lot collapses.

How it's different

We don't find that root cause by conventional digging through beliefs. Rather, we stay with the body and are guided by feelings rather than doing head work to work things out. We must get to the bottom feeling or vibration but the route is usually pretty short and direct. Once we're there we simply acknowledge the trauma or association.

Acknowledgement is the key. We don't need to DO anything. We simply BE with whatever needs to clear.

That can be a novel concept to many of us. One's instinct can be to do hours of detective work and then to fix things. But we're already perfect. We may need to allow some junk to clear out of the way, that's all. Of course, you'll learn how to do that. Simon even tells you how on his website.

So all of that comes down to WHAT? WHEN? ACKNOWLEDGE.

Piece of cake. Lovely cake, though
