Improve the immune system. Norman Cousin’s Anatomy of an Illness, first published in 1979, details how he cured
himself of a debilitating illness by using humor and laughter as a primary protocol. In debilitating pain, he said that 10
minutes of laughter allowed him hours of pain-free sleep. Laughter can actually change blood chemistry.
Stimulate lateral (creative) thinking. Several studies have shown increased levels of creativity when subjects were
placed in an environment of humor. Solutions to problems appear more readily when people are relaxed and enjoying the
process.
Improve our relationships. Victor Borge, the great Danish-American performer who kept us laughing for decades once
wrote, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people. Think about it. If you’re laughing with others, you have
less tendency to create conflict with them.
Increase productivity. Dr. David Abramis at Cal State Long Beach is an expert in the field of fun. He's discovered that
people who have fun on the job are more creative, more productive, better decision-makers and get along better with co-
workers.
Author Gretchen Rubin realized that what she wanted most of all was to be happy. She decided to devote a year to
changing her life and herself into a state of happiness. She chronicled her experiment in her book called The Happiness
Project, and now devotes her life to helping others become happier. On her web site, thehappinessprojecttoolbox.com,
she talks about Personal Commandments for happiness.
One of the commandments is “Find the humor and joy in everything.” This has been one of my lifelong commitments.
For about thirty years, one thing I’ve told people, “If laughter is not your native tongue, at least cultivate it as a second
language.”
Developing a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at ourselves can be learned. If you’re someone who looks like
they’ve been weaned on a pickle and your face froze in that expression, it may take more work, but it can be done.
Watch funny shows or movies. Read funny books or articles. Norman Cousins is only one of many people who have
improved their lives by immersing themselves in humor. For a while, skip the news broadcasts, television shows, and
books that showcase misery.
Find humor in everyday situations. Look for funny road signs or humorous headlines. Last week my friend was
driving us home from Seattle. He is not familiar with this state, but we were on a major highway. I dozed off. When I
awoke, I looked around and said in an alarmed voice, “Where are we?” At that point I realized he had missed the turn-
off. Fortunately, I recognized the terrain and realized we were on an alternate route. I was easily able to navigate us
home, but the initial expression on his face when I work up kept me laughing the rest of the trip. When he was assured
that we were fine, he started laughing, too.
Smile at a stranger. You never know how much you will brighten someone’s day by smiling at them. Say something
humorous to that person next to you in a long line. Make an amusing comment about the weather or something else.
Anthony Robbins says that, if we change our physiology—that is, we change from a frown to a smile—we can actually
change our physiology.
Hugh Sidey said, “Carry laughter with you wherever you go.” For the next thirty days carry laughter in your pocket.
Bring it out as often as possible. Seek out laughter. Provide laughter. For thirty days, do not permit yourself to complain.
Look for the positive aspect of any situation. Don’t agree with negative people. Give thanks for joy.

Why a Complete Clearing is Important Mary Ann Detzler
By Kathryn Hamilton-Cook Washington, U.S.A.
One goal of the SRT Intensive Skills class is to present “best Vice President
practices” to practitioners seeking certification (or simply to Pamela A. Murray
improve their SRT practice). While there is not truly a “right” or Washington, U.S.A.
(In Skills class, I occasionally get a certification candidate who complains that clearing all the programs coming up
means the clients may not come back. Please consider this: is it really the highest healing intention to desire dependence
from your clients? I can assure you from the experience that comes from twenty years of SRT practice, that the more
thorough and complete you are, the more clients you will have.)
As in prep to work, relevant and complete research follows intention. Having the following clear intentions about
research will keep your research time to a minimum, and assist you in being complete and accurate.
Clear all programs, blocks, and interferences that are blocking your client in any way (remember this may be more
expanded than your client’s limited description of the issue).
Allow High Self to guide your process in what the key issues/programs are. Starting with Chart 1, simply ask “Is
there a program to clear?” (not “Is there something to clear around issue X?”)
Minimum amount of research for the most clearing and understanding. This will help eliminate any extraneous
intentions such as psychic voyeurism, curiosity, or ego validation. (Remember, have the consciousness that clarity
and efficiency bring in more abundance, not less).
Research only to help change the conscious mind beliefs or emotional habits of the client. The main reason for
research or discussing research is to change the awareness of the client so they can make better, more informed
decisions. This is why it is usually not necessary to research or discuss upper-level charts (which require too much
conceptual explanation).
If you are new to the idea of a complete clearing, or you would like an update, a great way to become more proficient is
to take a class. The SRT Intensive Skills class is open to all practitioners who have completed the Advanced class. If it
has been awhile since you have taken an SRT class, you may want to consider taking a Review class or retake the
Advanced class from your local certified SRT teacher.
The major and most common challenge of working with SRT is blocks and interferences. The
blocks can be below Chart 3 or from higher level Beings from the God levels up and even at the
New Paradigm. Yesterday, I asked High Self what percent of the people working with SRT had
blocks and was given 88%. I then requested that High Self clear and remove all blocks for these
people, which was done. Today, when I asked what percent had blocks the figure was 56%. All
persons were again cleared. A few minutes later 20% were again blocked. My High Self indicates the main reason is that
14% do not do a thorough “prep to work” before starting to ask questions for themselves or another person. Even when
an SRT worker asks for “prep to work,” it does not always clear all blocks. Additional steps are required to make sure
that you are indeed clear and working with your High Self because it can take some time for the blocks to be cleared.
Blocks such as discarnates and separates can actually give you false answers, even indicating that you are working with
High Self when you are not.
When the pendulum is moved to point above Chart 3, it is an indication there are higher level beings blocking. Simply

Parallel universe programs Contributing Editors
After the client’s basic research is accomplished, I have been getting a lot of circles Pamela Murray
(where the pendulum responds in a circle when asked if there’s anything more to clear or Kathryn Hamilton-Cook
do) on Chart 1. When I ask for clarification, there are several possibilities. One is “mop-
Spiritual Response
up everything else.” The second is “Clear all charts 1-32 and beyond” (if we had all charts
Founder
possible, they would stack beyond the edge of the universe). Third, they point to Chart 4
Robert E. Detzler
and go in a circle on that chart, indicating to clear all programs on the chart and beyond.
Fourth, they point to Chart 6A and indicate by a circle to clear every discordant energy on Design and Layout
the chart and every discordant energy in the ONE universe. Sometimes they have pointed Leigh Bacharach
to Chart 6B and gone in a circle, indicting to clear all blocks to positive energy on the
chart and in the universe. Any of these programs can be extremely large. I ask that every Production
jot, tittle, paragraph and period be cleared, the books closed and burned and the ashes Spiritual Response
disposed of. Spirit says it is like clearing every drop of water in every lake, stream and Association
ocean; even the ice.
SRA Staff
I have cleared all of this and later—perhaps days later—the same programs come up to be
cleared again. While teaching a Spiritual Restructuring workshop on March 8, I found the Executive Director
reason for the multiple copies. Every universe has multiple parallel universes, and there Leigh Bacharach
can be as many as ten containing the same programs (the one we are living in plus nine
others). Now I am asking them to clear the five “circle” programs in all parallel universes. Information Control
I always ask how many parallel universes have been cleared and how many still need Manager/Operations
clearing. When I get all cleared and zero left to clear, I move on in the research and Coordinator
clearing process. Dark angels and other forms of blocks can be in all parallel universes. Diane Detzler

If you are finding that you are researching many more past life programs lately, then the Beth Richardson
reason could be parallel universes. Make sure your High Self knows to add this to mop-
up, and then verify that it has been completed. Administrative Assistant
