WHAT IS THE JOURNEY?
‘The Journey’ was developed by an American woman called Brandon Bays. In 1992, she developed a malignant tumour the size of a football and she made the decision to uncover the root cause of this dis-ease. She then underwent a transforming and ground breaking healing journey which lasted about six weeks and left her without a trace of the tumour. Brandon realized that if she was able to access the means by which her healing was possible, then everybody had the potential to do the same. The Journey was the product of this profound discovery. It works to heal the emotional and physical issues that hold us back from truly experiencing ourselves.
WHO CAN BENEFIT?
Everybody - from children as young as 5 to golden ages.
It does not matter what your background is, your age or your religion, everyone is capable of going through ‘a process’ – getting in touch with their own issues, clearing them and allowing the body to go about its own process of healing.
The Journey is used in Hospitals, Prisons, Schools, Addict Centres, by Psychologists, Psychiatrists, victims of violent crime and by people from all walks of life who in some way know that they are being held back or blocked from realizing their full potential.
In South Africa, the Journey work was taken into schools with transforming results. In a year of case studies, the teachers divided the children into three groups - one who had Journey work weekly, another occasionally and the third not at all. What they discovered was that not only did parents whose children received regular Journey processes report improved behaviour but academically while the group who got no Journey work averaged a 67% pass rate; the group with the occasional Journey work rated an average of 76% and the one receiving weekly Journey work scored between 91% to 93%. The South African government was so impressed by the results that they sought to have the work implemented in all South African schools.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Journey was designed to gain access to the infinite potential and wisdom inside oneself and clear any of the emotional and physical blocks that might be obscuring one from fully experiencing the joy, peace, love and health that is one’s own true nature. Once in touch with this wisdom, you are guided to uncover repressed cell memories and old emotional blocks which have held you back from fully expressing yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually. Through a process of forgiveness, the body is then able to release and heal of its own accord.
Dr Deepak Chopra, M.D notes that ‘a body that can think knows what is happening to it, not just through the brain but everywhere there is a receptor for message molecules, which means on every cell.’
(Chopra, D ‘Quantum Healing’ 1989)
Dr Candice Pert, PhD, director of the brain biochemistry division at the National institute of Mental Health writes that ‘DNA is almost as much sheer knowledge as it is matter’. She established that instead of being confined to the brain, the mind is a ‘flow of information moving between cells, organs and systems of the body’ This means that the body is no longer seen as separate from the mind but the body is the mind.
(Pert, C ‘Molecules of Emotion’ 1999)
As Brandon often explains, what science has found is that anytime you have a strong emotion and you repress it, the emotion releases a chemical into your blood stream which will go to certain cell receptors and block them, rendering those cells incapable of communicating with the rest of the cells in the body. If the cell receptors remain blocked over a long period of time and if disease is going to happen, there is a likelihood of it happening here. Conversely, what they found was that when our emotions are expressed healthily, our cell receptors remain open.
The cells in our body all replicate at various speeds:
Skin cells take 3 weeks to regenerate;
Liver cells take 6 weeks,
Stomach lining takes 3 days
Eye cells take less than 48 hours.
As a matter of fact there won’t be a single molecule in your body a year from now that was here today. Doctors began to wonder why it was then, that when you look at a liver with cancer in January, it is still riddled with cancer in June. What was postulated was that what was stored in the degenerative cells are the repressed cell memories and before the cells die, they pass on their consciousness to the next cell generation which is created as an exact cell replica of the previous one. Science has found that what successful survivors have in common, is that through some act of grace or spontaneous event, they were able to break this replication by accessing these repressed cell memories, releasing the stored pain and coming to a place of forgiveness. In so doing, the old cell memory would not be passed on to the next cell generation and the new cells would then be restored to their natural state. This step by step method, accessing the old repressed memories, letting them go and allowing the body and being to heal is what is called ‘The Journey’.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A JOURNEY SESSION?
Junior Journey (ages 5 – 16)
Session lasts between 30 – 60 minutes.
This is a liberating journey where children are given the opportunity of taking an imagined trip inside their bodies, discovering the root cause of their issues, releasing them and arriving to a place of forgiveness and peace.
Adult Journey (ages 16 and upwards)
These sessions can last up to 3 hours.
You are taken on one of two journeys or a combination of the two:
The Emotional Journey is a profound process where you peel back the emotional layers that have kept you stuck and open into a presence of peace, love and stillness inside. You get direct access to the inner wisdom which reveals to you what the root cause of your surface emotional issue is and you go through a process of facing the old issue, clearing it out and letting it go so that both the body and being can heal.
The Physical Journey takes you on a journey inside your body and helps you get access to theold repressed cell memories and clear them so that your body and being can heal.
The Designer Process is a combination of the above two processes together with other appropriate and powerful skills to address your specific issue at the time.
Peace, joy, freedom, health, clarity and lightness of being are some of the many benefits that clients have felt after the process.
