The Ask and Receive Technique

Using intention and introspection for healing.

Using intention and introspection for healing.

This technique was taught to me by psychotherapists who do energy work. Here is the general approach:

Start with a positive statement (future-present based) and say it aloud after getting relaxed (e.g.: "I am always grounded and in touch with my body"). The only instruction is to simply notice whatever arises—a thought, emotion, sensation, or memory, etc. Just notice. 

If what is noticed appears to be an obstruction or resistance, use this clearing script line by line, slowly:

 "There is a part of my being that already knows how to unhook, clear and dissolve, heal and release, this ___ (e.g.: tension in my knee)all that it represents, all of its roots, and its points of entry, throughout all generations, across all time, dimensions, space, and reality, and that part of my being is willing to inform and heal the rest of me nowand it’s doing so now with grace and ease. My mind, body, and spirit are receiving this information and healing through space and time. Information transfer and healing are now complete."

If whatever arises does not budge or becomes stronger, treat it as a "block." Simply use above statement and insert "this block" into the space.

Repeat until you feel a shift and/or until nothing else is noticed, and you feel congruence/coherence/alignment with the positive statement.  

Here is a positive version of Ask and Receive that allows you to insert a positive intention into the phrase:

"There is a part of my being that already knows how to strengthen, instill, empower, and create (specific positive intention)—all of its representations, states of being, and ways of manifesting, throughout all generations, across all time, dimensions, space, and reality, and that part of my being is willing to inform, heal, and empower the rest of me now—and it’s doing so now with grace and ease. My mind, body, and spirit are receiving this information, healing, and empowerment through space and time. Information transfer, healing, and empowerment are now complete."

Example of a positive intention: compassionate wisdom going forward.
