This board is multifaceted, crossing various topics from New Age, spirituality, metaphysical, psychology, physical issues, relationships, emotions, self-help and more. It is created for those who seek change and desire to empower themselves, to live life as an expression of who they really are in unconditional love. If you think/feel that your life and this world full of denial, fear and unlovingness is totally opposite what you desire, it is no coincidence that you are here.
To say that this board will be controversial is an understatement as it goes against almost everything society presently believes to be true about emotions, feelings, life and love. But then why wouldn't it be controversial if the desire and goal is the opposite of what is presently being experienced! To empower yourself, you need to be open to challenge everything you believe to be true, especially about love, life, emotions and feelings and also be willing to end your denials of self.
I openly share the knowledge, tools, messages and insights that I've gained through sixteen years of intensive personal experience and in working with others on their journey. Feel free to visit the various forums and posts and to also add your personal experiences, comments and questions. It is my intent that the ideas and works that will be discussed within this forum will not only expand your consciousness, but also activate your emotions and touch your heart.
In love, light and life,

Hi everyone,
I gave a brief overview of my journey and intent for this community in the Announcements section under the topic about this community. I suggest it be read, as Coequal Therapy is the collective result of the experiences and insight of that journey. In this moment, I believe that:
We are a Spiritual Being clothed in a physical body and that everything including our thoughts, emotions and physical body is a form of energy and that everything is connected.
We need to take responsibility for our well being, to empower ourselves and to no longer accept the traditional bandage approach of treating the symptom and not healing the cause.
True healing can only take place when we are in balance, when we can accept and express all our emotions, thoughts and desires without fear, denial, judgment, guilt or shame.
True freedom and self-empowerment can be realized when we are able to live in the present moment, no longer controlled by beliefs, imprints and programs that limit our experience or the expression of who we really are.
To be able to express the love, joy and the magic in our hearts is who we really are, and to share our unique expression and our humanity is what true life is all about.
Coequal Therapy is a term Ive conceived to describe this Wholistic approach to wellness and self-empowerment. It encompasses and addresses the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects of our being equally. It doesnt matter whether we begin with the repressed and denied emotions, the mental blocks holding them down, or the imbalances held as dis-ease in the physical body. When we can truly address and accept all of these parts of our selves with love, in our heart, then we are in balance and in harmony with our Spiritual Essence.
Coequal Therapy is based on my personal experiences and is an evolving process where there are no rules, standard procedures, notebooks or tapes, as each healing experience is as different as the individuals involved. I also use my intuition for guidance and insights along with a variety of alternative healing modalities, techniques and tools (see how to section). These tools are ones that I have personally experienced and feel have benefited me the most in my on-going journey of discovery and self-empowerment. One of the most used tools is Meditation/Visualization. It is NOT hypnotism, but rather a form of conscious regression to assist in remembering events and allowing for the expression of the denied emotions. There are also other tools I use, as I feel directed, such as crystals, aroma, toning, pressure, touch, or becoming an empath.
Emotionally healing the Inner and Outer child focuses on identifying the problem areas in our lives by going behind the present experience and false emotions (effect) to find the hidden (cause) which are the real emotions that were and are being suppressed. The process is to go back through the many layers of emotions made by similar experiences, all the way back to when and what experience put the original program in place. As these emotions are felt and expressed, lost power and essence is reclaimed. There are many emotions suppressed in the original experience and they will surface at different times when they are ready.
Mentally letting go of the imprints, programs, beliefs, guilt and shame is also associated with healing. How we perceive and experience our reality is based on our imprints, programs, and beliefs. At birth we are all imprinted with similar programs, instincts and feelings and as we develop, we are further imprinted and programmed by beliefs from our parents, family, peers, community, culture, religions, governments, institutions, etc. We learn how to respond appropriately, whats right or wrong, whats truth and reality, all based on their beliefs, programs, and imprints. Once the emotions are felt and expressed, you can then re-program your altered Ego and sub-conscious and change the beliefs that you clung to as your truth of who you are, which created your reality. Yes, its possible to mentally re-program yourself without feeling the emotions, but this unbalanced process only further denies the emotions and also limits your mental awareness.
Physically, during or after any emotional work there is often some form of physical release including pain, sweats, cold, nausea, diarrhea, etc. If you didnt have a complete release, or you feel there is more you need to touch, you may feel a need for some form of exercise or activity, or you may seek the services of a chiropractor, massage, or other physical healing modality therapist to assist you. The opposite effect is also true as emotional memories that are stored in the body may become activated after you have had some form of physical exercise, body alignment, energy work or accident and now you may have, or feel the need for an emotional release.
Spiritually, we can only benefit from Self-Love and Self-empowerment. How are we supposed to be able to love another if we cant love ourselves, and isnt that what life is supposed to be about, love?
Coequal Therapy can be done either individually, in couples or in a group session, depending on what you are comfortable with. There needs to be a safe and supportive environment where it is OK to EXPRESS all of your feelings and emotions both positive and negative. As a sense of trust, openness and acceptance are developed, deep-seated fears and emotions can be felt and expressed and as the healing process begins, you will experience a new found sense of freedom, self-empowerment and well being. For those that are comfortable in expressing their emotions and issues in public, group synergy and dynamics produce intensive healing experiences, including healing by osmosis.
Is your health, work or personal relationships being affected by so called negative emotions and are you finding that trying to control, get a grip, cope or denying them just isnt working for you? If this is the case, then DENIAL is not your natural state of being and it may be time for you to look within to see what is really causing your present experiences. Listed below are just some of the most common emotions and issues addressed.
Heartbreak / Grief
Fear / Terror
Anger / Rage
Alone / unloved
Hurting / In Pain
Powerless / Overwhelmed
No control / Controlling
No Choice / Jealousy
Low Self Worth / hopelessness
Stress / Panic Attacks
Depression / Anxiety
Co-Dependency / Withdrawn

This is a simple overview of Coequal Therapy and I will be posting on various topics for your information and discussion. Having written a manuscript of my journey, Im now in the process of finding a publisher. I also have enough journal material for three other books, so you can see that this topic is not simple. Its not simple because this material is NEW and is totally opposite the traditional DENIAL based points of view and beliefs which is all we have ever known.

Healing begins in the heart
To heal, you must feel, and to feel, you must be real
