It is a given that most diseases that are part of our ecosystem have their origins in life stresses, beliefs and traumas. EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique is a form of therapy that believes that to heal any condition, we have to heal the mind and the body simultaneously. A popular self-help technique, EFT is a meridian tapping therapy that is a clinically proven modality which has shown great results with both physical and emotional issues.
Matrix Reimprinting takes EFT a step further by connecting people with their past traumas and core beliefs in a very safe way and effectively enables them to actively transform these memories into supportive memories for the rest of their lives. It allows individuals to form new positive memories and new empowering belief systems in the subconscious mind, rewriting the negative, more traumatic ones.
Simply put, Matrix Reimprinting is an EFT technique to change your relationship to your past and dramatically transform your physical and emotional health in the present. It is particularly useful for handling grief and loss, phobias, anxiety, trauma, addictions and allergies.
Matrix Reimprinting was created by one of the founding Masters of EFT, Karl Dawson as a new way of accessing blocked memories. Based on his clinical experience using EFT, he discovered a new powerful way to get results for his clients by allowing them to step into their subconscious memories and work with their younger selves (ECHOs) in order to get resolution. He found that it not only resolved the issue much faster than EFT traditionally would, but also it left the client with a new and empowering memory. Over the years, Karl developed this technique further focusing on client and practitioner safety, efficacy and shifting subconscious belief systems, which is Matrix Reimprinting as we know it today.
Eleven years on from the birth of Matrix Reimprinting, Karl Dawson has adapted this revolutionary technique to ensure that practitioners focus on core beliefs to achieve lasting change in their clients’ lives.
The word ‘Reimprinting’ comes from the psychological term ‘imprinting’ which is when a child imprints a situation or learning into their memory which then goes on to create a belief. Most of our core beliefs are formed in the first six years of our life. But as we progress through life, our negative experiences often intensify these already formed negative beliefs, allowing them to snowball and become bigger and more challenging negative beliefs.
Because of this, we hold a lot of negative energy around these core beliefs and find that we are always triggered due to these beliefs. This constant triggering and feeling of negative emotions depletes us energetically and this translates into physical health issues.
How does Matrix Reimprinting work?
When we have a traumatic memory, that younger version of ourselves is locked in that moment in time in our subconscious mind. They are re-living that event as if it is still happening, along with the beliefs that were formed because of that event. Therefore, in order to use Matrix Reimprinting we need to have a memory to work with.
Sometimes clients are unable to access their memories because over the years, they have learnt to lock them away. With Matrix Reimprinting, we have techniques to help an individual tune in to their emotions and trace it back to a memory earlier on in life when they felt that way.
In a safe and controlled way (with the support of a trained practitioner), the client then goes into the memory to have a conversation with the younger version of themselves and helps them clear the emotional trauma. Once this is achieved, we then address the memory in a way that makes it a more positive event for the younger self. Throughout this process the practitioner uses specific EFT tapping points to help support the client.
Once the trauma energy has been cleared and the memory has been changed to a positive and empowering experience, this is then re-imprinted alongside a new positive belief system into the subconscious mind of the client where it will have a permanent and beneficial effect.
Throughout the whole process, this experience is managed by the practitioner, so the individual does not re-experience previous trauma.
To the surprise of many clients, there are often swift and positive changes that occur in regard to their life and with their health. Matrix Reimprinting has its roots in quantum physics, epigenetics and basically operates on the understanding that we are all comprised of energy, and that we are all connected by a unified energy field. When we change our beliefs, we change the vibration and the energy which our cells receive and thereby, the energies we send out into the world.
