The Journey

A boundless potential exists inside everyone of us. That infinite joy and immense freedom you see in little children...it's really inside each one of us. Unfortunately, for many that shining potential has been covered over by layers and layers of protective masks, defensive strategies, limiting beliefs, and painful memories.

So often we find ourselves trapped, limited by old patterns behaviors, beliefs, and emotions - and most of the time, we don't even know where they came from, how we got them. Were they ever really ours to begin with?

If you find yourself trapped or limited - whether emotionally, physically, or behaviorally - The Journey™ can simply and easily get to the root of the issue and allow you to clear it out, leaving you in a bath of peace, joy and love.

The Journey offers the gift of freedom...

The Journey is a simple yet profound process that guides you into the deepest center of your soul. It opens you into the radiance of your own essence and into the infinite intelligence of the body. You'll tap into the infinite body wisdom that keeps your heart beating, your hair growing and your breath going in and going out... even while you are sleeping. It's that same infinite body wisdom that can create healing in the body from nearly any physical condition.

The Journey, outlined in the bestselling book The Journey , by Brandon Bays, is now recognized internationally as one of the most powerful healing processes available, igniting the body's own healing wisdom and opening us into the deepest level of the soul.

Diagnosed with a tumor the size of a basketball, Brandon Bays was catapulted on a remarkable, soul-searching and ultimately freeing healing journey, during which she uncovered a means to get direct access to the boundless healing potential inside all of us. Only six and one-half weeks later she was pronounced tumor free, text-book perfect - no drugs - no surgery!!

The results are profound and lasting...

Around the world, tens of thousands of people have resolved and freed themselves of issues relating to grief, rage, fear, guilt, addictions, depression, eating disorders, abuse, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety & panic attacks, self-sabotaging behaviors, sexual dysfunction, chronic pain, and physical illness.

Why does it work?

During her healing journey, Brandon recognized and knew from her work with Dr. Deepak Chopra that there were two keys to spontaneous healing. First, healing starts with getting access to that infinite body wisdom that keeps the heart beating and hair growing...and that also knows how to heal the body. The second key to healing is to get access to the cellular memory, clear it and release it.

Emotions are the Gateway
It is our emotions that actually open us into that infinite body wisdom - our soul. Brandon recounts a time with a spiritual teacher when a student asked, "What do I do if an intense emotion comes up for me - how do I find peace in that?"

The teacher responded, "Just don't move . Let yourself be completely present to the emotion. Welcome it. If a negative emotion arises, don't run away from it; don't run off to the refrigerator to eat some food to cover it up; don't turn on the television to distract yourself from it; don't call your friends to disperse its energy by gossiping about it. Just stop and feel it. Just let yourself be present to it. You'll find if you don't try to distract yourself from it, or push it away, or, worse still, dump it on someone else; if you stay still, if you are really present to it - in the very core of the feeling you will find peace. So when you feel a powerful emotion, just let it be - DON'T MOVE. Welcome it ."

Brandon realized that the "peace" the teacher was speaking of was actually that infinite wisdom of the body - our core essence. Now... the Emotional Journey process simply does exactly what the teacher recommended. It guides you gracefully through your emotions into your soul, opening you into that place of stillness, peace, wisdom. That space of freedom - of love, of lightness, of joy - has many names around the world. In the Journey, we refer to it as Source; athletes often call it "The Zone"; scientists refer to it as "Quantum Soup" or a "place of no mind". Others call it the true self, the higher self, soul, or Truth. Still others refer to it as "The Infinite Intelligence" or "God."

The Science of It
It is well-known science that our body's cells regenerate constantly. Eye cells regenerate every two days, liver cells every 6-7 weeks. Knowing this, one might ask, "If someone has liver cancer in January, why do they still have it 6 months down the line in June, when the organ is, in fact, brand new several times over?" Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of Quantum Healing , teaches us that what is actually happening is that the "cell memory" is being carried into each new generation of cells, carrying the degenerative cancer cells into the new cell through the cell memory.

Another scientist, Dr. Candace Pert, author of the best-selling book Molecules of Emotion is a well-known cellular biologist working in Washington D.C. She has, on a number of occasions, spoken to the US Congress about her findings on the effect that repressed emotions have on our cells. She's also interviewed throughout the acclaimed movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" on that topic. Dr. Pert has unequivocally discovered that whenever we have an intense, powerful emotion that we repress or shut down, specific chemical changes take place in our bodies. These changes can affect certain cell receptors, blocking those cells from communicating with the other cells in our bodies. If these affected cell receptors remain blocked over a long period of time, there is an increased likelihood that if disease occurs, it will occur in the part of the body where the cell receptors are blocked. When we feel and express our emotions healthily, fully and wholesomely, our cell receptors remain open.

Allowing feelings to flow releases cellular memory and unblocks cell receptors

Gregg Braden, author of The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy and Bruce Lipton, author of Biology of Beliefs both also discuss in great depth the connection between emotions and beliefs and the physical well-being of our bodies. And Journey clients worldwide attest to the healing that can occur when pain and distortion are cleared from the cell memory.

Kids and The Journey?

Children almost intuitively know this process; it's natural to them. And the results of Kids' Journeys are as profound as they are for adults...but it takes about a quarter of the time.

If you want to see a natural expression of who we truly are, watch a child. Children shine with radiance. They are in touch with their souls and they are truly our teachers. They haven't covered over their true self with that shiny protective veneer yet.

The Kids' Journey is like a guided adventure for children - it's a child-friendly version similar to the adult Physical Journey process. Kids think the process is great - they easily express their feelings, they say what needs to be said and they quite easily forgive.

The results are inspiring...

•  Eight-year-old Matthew was diagnosed with ADD. He was withdrawn, hostile and failing at school. After three Journey processes, he is now warmly affectionate and top of the class.

•  Five-year-old Raksha had chronic allergies and acute asthma. After working with the Journey, she is completely allergy-free.

Eleven-year-old Emma was emotionally shut down after her parents' divorce. The Journey enabled her to forgive her parents and return to her confident, loving self.

What to Expect

Your Journey session typically lasts two to three hours.   It will begin with a conversation between you and the therapist to get clear on the issue - the real core of the issue - that you want to work on during the session.

Then, once both you and the therapist are clear on the issue, you will be guided into a state of relaxation. Once in a relaxed state, you'll be guided into a simple guided meditation and visualization where you might dive into your emotions in the Emotional Journey, travel into your body to uncover a cellular memory in the Physical Journey, or combine the two in a just-for-you Designer Journey.

Once you have discovered a memory, you will get a chance to "dialog" with the people involved with the issue and the memory at a warm, safe imaginary "campfire". You'll get to say whatever needs to be said allowing stored emotions and memories to be easily released and allowing forgiveness to come naturally. You'll find yourself resting in a bath of peace, freedom and light.

After your process, it is great to set aside time to nurture your body and your being to support it in its healing process.
