What is a GENETIC RESONANCE PROCESS?

(you can listen to an interview, where I explain Genetic Resonance, here)

To put it in simple terms, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the alphabet nature uses to write, read and transmit genetic information, from one cell to another and/or from one organism to another.

According to some of the most recent and fascinating explorations in the field of genetics, our DNA is a living, adaptable, intelligent structure, responsive to, and affected by, everything that happens in our lives. This includes what happens to those we love and care about, live with, work with, learn from, teach to, argue with or about, remember or forget, appreciate or disrespect, superficially relate to, care nothing for, reject, neglect and profoundly dislike, all the way to hate, in other words, everyone else.

Inspired by new and refreshing perspectives in medicine and biology, I have developed, and worked with, a therapeutic modality I call Transgenerational Harmonization or Genetic Resonance (Clearing) Process.

In its practical applications, this modality may look like an offshoot of Bert Hellinger's Family Constellations, because, indeed, it is. However, aside from the fact that, in my view, this Genetic Resonance Process goes deeper and is overall more effective than traditional Family Constellations, the most obvious divergence lies in the emphasis of compassion, versus Hellinger's propensity towards shaming, fault finding and attribution of blame, noticeable even to a most casual observer.

Hence, in simple words, a staging of Genetic Resonance Process looks like one of Family Constellations, minus the stinging and oppressive patriarchal overtone.

My work is based mostly on mirroring, also read resonating, with as limited a cognitive interference as possible. Mirrors present us with an image of ourselves, free of verbal interference. What we see is what we get, meaning that what we see is who we are, for better or for worse.

It is unfortunate that, from an early age, we have been taught to attach words to everything. I say unfortunate but I don't mean it in an absolute sense. Words are useful and they are the tools by which, to a great extent, we evolve and master our environement. Like all gifts, however, words come with a shadow power, a destructive version of their power to create, and, if we don't pay attention to it, words can and do kill better than any weapon on earth.

When we look at ourselves, or at anything else for that matter, the first thing we do is tag the image with a string of letters, forming a description of what we see. As a result, our mind is constantly cornered into an interpretation of the images it apprehends and this verbal alias can become a substitute for reality. This situation wouldn't necessarily present a problem, if it weren't for the fact that our verbal brain, in most cases, resides within our conditioned self, or that part of us which is entirely a product of our culture.

Again, I do not mean to say that the process of acculturization is wrong and that we should't honor it. To some extent, it is a necessity, if we are to function like civilized people. But this culture of ours is so limited and limiting, compared to what is outside of it, i.e. natural phenomena, that if we live within its protective boundaries, and never venture out, we can end up suffocating in a sterile world made up of words, whose heart looks like a clock's mechanism.

A Genetic Resonance Process requires, first and foremost, a willingness to step outside these artificial, cultural boundaries and this, much to some people's dismay, eliminates words from the picture, in a literal sense. No more words to lean against, we stand naked in the mirror of our soul, individual and collective, with all that there is to see, feel, experience and understand. Scary as it may be for someone who's not used to it, this level of reality contains our deepest truth and, to the degree that our ego is able to surrender control over the experience, our greatest freedom.

A successful Genetic Resonance Process fosters a cellular-deep sense of understanding, comparable to turning the light on and seeing, as if for the first time, some of the darkest corners of our being. Let me repeat, this is an invaluable gift ONLY to those who want truth and, in my experience, this is not yet the majority of people. Truth shall set one free, yes, but freedom requires taking responsibility for oneself: understandably, some may prefer to put up with convenient rationalizations to explain what doesn't work, dismissing or avoiding anything that may challenge a comfortable set-up.

For those who cannot rest until they find the truth, the Genetic Resonance Process will reveal a unique configuration of unresolved family issues, a veritable knot of "entanglements" affecting the individual on every level and in spite of the best efforts at offsetting negative patterns.But this is the beginning of self-liberation.

Once the thread of family's suffering has been identified, a modality similar to Family Constellations can be staged, using members of a group or a few symbolic objects representing the psychological elements needed to arrive at a resolution.

Recapturing the past, in order to bring it into resonance with our intentions in the present, is the name of the game, although a game it is not. In the present, where we are, our mind must be as coherently gathered as possible. We must be willing to summon every drop of compassion we can find in our hearts, form it into a bundle of healing intentions, and hurl it at hypervelocity, like an arrow from a mighty bow, onto the wounded genetic memory.

Similar to a laser beam, this powerful ray of compassionate intentionality reaches through time and space, overcoming all physical boundaries, and acts to cauterize the energy leak, permanently removing the source of suffering from our DNA, neutralizing the resonance our genes had been programmed to tune into.

While this kind of therapeutic modality is still considered far fetched by the orthodox medical community, its roots stretch back through a few centuries of dry, soul-less, mechanistic medicine and merge with traditional shamanic and tribal healing rituals, planted in the rich and soul-full soil of archetypal images common to all cultures and people.
