This One Thing I Do On
By Rev. Pam Murray, Ph.D. More than thirty years ago I read an interview with the Certification
great comedienne, Lucille Ball (1911-1989). Although New Consultant
many people remember her funny television shows, not Staci Maria
everyone realizes that she was a very successful business Washington, U.S.A.
woman. She ran an extensive television empire which (206) 331-8778
produced numerous television shows, including Star Trek staci@whalecommunicators.com
and Mission Impossible. She was the first woman to own a
major television production company. Andreas Neophytou
Nicosia, Cyprus
In this interview, she was asked what the best advice she was ever given to account for (357) 9964 3205
her extraordinary success. She responded that it was to focus on one thing at a time. She Neophytou_brushco@cytanet.
said that this was a great revelation to her, as she had always prided herself on doing com.cy
many things at once. Yet, when she tried it, she accomplished three times more.

I have always had a tendency to scatter my energy by attempting to do several things at Athens, Greece
a time, so this quote really hit home for me. To this day, I often remind myself to focus (30) 6944 144958
only on the task at hand. dviveli@yahoo.gr
What happens when you begin to multi-task? Your energy and thoughts become New SRT Teacher
diffused. We may complete everything, but the quality can be less than our best. Many Shirley Kuo Hiu Nam
studies have proven that it actually takes longer to work this way than to concentrate on Hong Kong, China
one thing at a time. Your subconscious mind becomes programmed more and more not (852) 6343 4891
to give much heed to anything you do because you have sent it the message that nothing koushirley@yahoo.com.hk
is really worth concentrating on.

What happens when You focus? The neurons in your brain begin to fire in an order that creates and increases the energy
you need to complete the task. The Universe rushes in to support that focus and increases its effectiveness. You receive
more ideas on how to better accomplish what you’re focusing on. This energy also strengthens your subconscious mind,
so, even when you’re doing something else, or relaxing, you will receive additional insights. You have sent to your
subconscious the message that this is important.

Mary Slaney, the former American record holder in the 5,000 meter run was once asked how she was able to win so
many races. “I can focus longer than the others,” she responded. I tried it in the races I ran. I found that, if I focused on
my posture, breathing and pace, I won many more medals and trophies than if I thought about how tired I was or worried
about how much further I needed to run.

One trick I use to help me focus on one thing at a time is to set a timer for ten minutes and focus all my energy on one
chore for that ten minutes. Not only do I accomplish more than I thought possible in that ten minutes, but often I
generate the energy to carry it through to completion.

If I finish the ten minutes and have lost the focus, I close down the task completely and start on something else for ten
minutes with the same intensity as before.

How do I decide what to do first? Like many of us, I have a huge to-do list. To select my first item, I just use my
pendulum and ask SPIRIT to pick it out. I’ve been doing this for a number of years and am still amazed at what SPIRIT
chooses. Very often it is the opposite of what I would have selected. However, it always seems that the very thing
SPIRIT tells me to work on ends up being what is needed the most.

Two weeks ago I had just returned from a long trip. My suitcase was opened in the middle of the living room and its
contents were scattered everywhere. I was picking out the dirty clothes for laundering, gathering the paperwork for
filing, and sorting out other articles to put away. Everything was in little piles awaiting its destination. In addition
two weeks of mail was on the table awaiting my attention. In short, this area was a mess. I had planned to attend to all of
this the next day.

I went to my office to ask SPIRIT what I should do first. The message was clear: “Clean your house!!”

I was surprised, because I had so much paperwork to do, but I obediently set about cleaning up the mess in the living
room. It took about twenty minutes to put everything where it should have been.

Five minutes later the doorbell rang. A friend dropped by unexpectedly to welcome me home. I would have been
embarrassed to invite her in to such disarray, as I like to entertain people in a home graced with harmony and order. I
silently thanked SPIRIT and asked her in for tea.

You may say, “Well, that sounds great, but my boss seems to want me to do everything at once.” In the time
management classes I used to teach, I would ask the students to make a list of everything they needed to do in their jobs.
Then, they were to take the list to their boss and ask their boss to prioritize the list. Many students reported to me that,
not only did it help them to be more efficient, but their boss gained an appreciation of how much they had to do. Once
you have the list in hand, you can begin to direct your energies to each item in turn.

Try this Ten-Minute process for one month. Here’s the procedure:
 Make a To-Do list. Add to it whenever something else occurs to you.
 Each morning ask SPIRIT to guide you as you move through your tasks
 With your pendulum ask SPIRIT what to do first.
 Set a timer for ten minutes. (Ten minutes is my personal time limit. You might want to ask SPIRIT how long your
personal time is.)
 For the full period focus completely on the task SPIRIT has selected for you.
 When the timer rings, you may choose to continue or ask SPIRIT to select a new task, and begin the cycle again.

At the end of thirty days, see if you have accomplished more with more energy.

Board of Directors
Owning the Healing Process
By Kathryn Hamilton-Cook President
Mary Ann Detzler
Washington, U.S.A.
“Your every action, every thought, every situation is your own
creation. To deny this truth is to admit that you do not know who Vice President
you are.” – P’taah through Jani King Pamela A. Murray
Washington, U.S.A.
One of the most common questions I get in an SRT session is
“Will I stay clear?” or “Am I done with clearing?” What I Secretary
usually tell people is some version of “That depends entirely on Paul Irish, Jr.
Washington, U.S.A.
you and your process.” Because of cultural conditioning, many if not most of us—
including our clients—work from a model that “if something appears to be wrong, then Treasurer
it must be fixed, and it must be fixed now.” When it comes to healing, this is expanded Marianne Blaha
to “this must be fixed by someone besides me (consultant, teacher, doctor, etc.).” Albertshofen, Germany
Because we don’t readily see how we create a situation or circumstance as spiritual
beings, we subconsciously or consciously assume that it was created by someone or Directors
something else. This often encourages a belief that we do not have the power to heal it Yamini Bhatt
ourselves. While it is important to seek the help we need, it’s also important to Texas, U.S.A.
acknowledge and take action to change feelings of helplessness or self-limiting beliefs Karla Marie
that block our ability to move forward in healing. Simply put, we can’t change what we Texas, U.S.A.
don’t own. Linda Turner
Kent, United Kingdom
Beyond the “magic wand”
I often hear SRT practitioners jokingly refer to the pendulum as the “magic wand.” The Erika Laszlo
power and efficiency that is the blessing of SRT has one singular drawback: it frequently Budapest, Hungary
leaves people the impression that the healing process is an outward one—someone
outside of ourselves does the research and clearing work and we wait passively for the SRA
“magic” to happen. Even in doing SRT work for ourselves, we may assume that High International
Self is the “magician.”
Advisory
We can certainly accomplish a lot of clearing work simply by asking our guidance to do Committee
the research for ourselves or others. Clearing programs, however, is not the same as
Marianne Blaha - Chair
healing oneself and one’s life. Clearing work sets the positive stage for the choices the
Albertshofen, Germany
Soul/Spirit and the conscious mind make to be whole, healthy, and happy. Clearing goes
a long way in removing the blocks to positive expression spiritually, emotionally, and Kathleen Butler
physically. Taking responsibility for making those decisions and changes, and allowing Arizona, U.S.A.
and accepting healing energies is just as important. This aspect of healing is an ongoing
Robert E. Detzler
lifelong process and is an “inside job.”
Washington, U.S.A.
Part of the challenge is the narrow focus we put on “healing.” For many of us and our Irenka Herbert
clients, healing means the complete removal of mental, emotional, or physical suffering Newport, Wales
of a particular kind, evidenced by a very specific outcome (“the pain in my knee is now
Erika Laszlo
gone” for example). In SRT work, however, we recognize that the manifestation of a
Budapest, Hungary
challenge is not necessarily that “local” to the root problem. For example, a contributing
factor to having a back problem may be that we’ve been tortured on the rack in past lives Emily Matweow
or that we have Root Beliefs that SPIRIT does not support us—both programs that can Calgary, Canada
be cleared through SRT work. It may also mean that we deny support to ourselves
Carmen Pluciennik
through our self-limiting beliefs in the current life.
Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
While the back pain may be what gets our attention, the more important healing beyond Emily Russo
immediate pain relief is allowing the energy of support to flow through us. Until we Caracas, Venezuela
change this, we may and probably will create more serious challenges. High Self often
Shakti Wilson
tells me that a more productive way to look at suffering is to realize that it is a signal that
California, U.S.A.

SRT Methodology continued from page 3
we are out of alignment with our divinity in some way. This does not mean you are “to blame” (blame is a negative
belief that engenders other negative responses like self-punishment, unworthiness, and self-hate). What High Self means
is that in addition to looking for the instant fix to the problem, the greater healing is to look at the deeper spiritual issues
we are being asked to address. In her book Why People Don’t Heal and How They Can, medical intuitive Caroline Myss
tells us that we need to “heal our connection to life” instead of simply focusing on healing a specific illness or challenge:

“…Negativity is not the only source for illness. It [illness] can also emerge as the answer to a prayer. It can
physically guide us onto a path of insight and learning upon which we would never set foot. It can be a catalyst
for expanding spiritual consciousness as well as understanding the meaning of life.”

Why healing doesn’t happen

In my twenty years of doing SRT work, I’ve learned to respect the awe-inspiring complexity and divinity of the human
Spirit. I think that we limit ourselves in our SRT work if we have a single-minded attachment to the idea that challenges
are simply the result of negative programming that must be cleared. If it were truly that simple, we would all in this
instant be in a state of perpetual joy in the physical body.

Doing a complete clearing (including prep to work and mop-up) rather than focusing on one issue is one way in SRT that
we try to provide the optimum arrangement for healing for ourselves and others. However, changing beliefs and choices
is not something that others, including the SRT practitioner, can do for us. This is why it is important to examine beliefs,
perceptions, and judgments about healing for ourselves and to encourage our clients to do the same as part of their
healing process. We also may be called to make significant changes in our lives, another aspect of healing that others
cannot do for us.

The first steps to owning the healing process is releasing limiting beliefs about healing, changing judgment about
ourselves, and forgiving ourselves and others—especially SPIRIT—for where we are.

Release judgment about who and where you are

One of the biggest blocks to our healing process happens before we may even be aware that we need help. It is the
limiting beliefs and judgments we hold about our creative ability and our connection to the power that heals us. On a
human level, this usually translates into a firm attachment to our own helplessness and an equally firm attachment to a
particular outcome in a particular timeframe. Together, these beliefs conspire to set us up for perceived failure in our
process. High Self is happy to help us explore where our beliefs and judgments may be getting in the way here. Here is a
sampling of questions you may want to ask High Self about your healing process. Some may lead to additional clearing
work, but many require changing your beliefs. Others will require you to take action. If you cannot stay neutral when
asking these questions, ask someone who can. If you get a “yes” response, ask for a clue on a chart (remember that this
may mean more than clearing a program—you may have to do repeated release statements to change your thinking).

 Do I have beliefs, perceptions, or judgments that I and/or my body is “wrong” for experiencing suffering? (If we
think we are “wrong,” it can be difficult to own the healing process, as this would mean taking on “blame”)
 Do I limit myself in this life because of a belief that the past cannot be healed?
 Do I limit greater healing because of an attachment to a particular outcome? Do I believe I am a failure or the
SRT process is a failure if change does not happen immediately? (Feelings of failure often lead to self-
punishment, which is never helpful)
 Do I blame others or SPIRIT for my suffering? (This does not mean that YOU are to blame, just that you are
missing the opportunity to look at the gift of experience your Spirit has given you because you are blaming
others).
 Do I believe that I am helpless to effect my own healing?
 Do I believe that I am undeserving of healing?
 Do I receive any hidden benefits from remaining in my suffering or illness? (Negative Motivations on Chart 5 are
typical programs as well as habits here; while programs can be cleared, habits must be actively changed through
conscious choice)
 Do I receive any hidden benefits from making others responsible for my healing?
 Do I identify with my suffering and traumas to the extent that I find it difficult to let them go?

Page 4 Continued on page 5

SRT Methodology continued from page 4
 Am I open and ready to receive healing energies and support?

Be aware that staying in suffering may have hidden rewards. One common benefit, as Caroline Myss puts it, is
“permission to lead a life of minimum expectation and limited responsibility.” This benefit can be so seductive to some
people that they would rather die than change. While this is an unfortunate choice, it is deserving of compassion rather
than judgment. People in this place are still somehow learning from the experience. Do what you can for clients who are
stuck here, but also encourage them to look at why they may be blocking change. If you find yourself mired in a similar
energy, remember to take one step at a time. Instead of thinking of or talking about where you aren’t, take one small step
toward healing every day. (For an excellent discussion on embracing change to heal, I recommend Myss’ book Why
People Don’t Heal and How They Can.)

Remember that healing is a process, not a judgment of who and where you are. In the greater sense, we can heal
spiritually, and still leave the body at any time. In SRT, we refer to this as “passing over clean.” Physical healing does
not equate to spiritual healing, but can springboard us into greater connection with our divine self and SPIRIT.

Forgive yourself and others

We cannot change what happened in the past, but we can change how we think, feel, and talk about such events.
Releasing statements are one way to help shift stubborn belief systems and the thinking habits that go with them. Here is
a sampling of some release statements based on the blocks identified above. You may want to use a pendulum to see if
any would be of benefit to you. Remember to do both a release statement and a replacement statement (I’ve separated
them out here to save space):

Release statements:
“I release all belief perception and judgment that I am “wrong” or my body is “wrong” because I am experiencing
suffering or challenge. I release all need and desire to believe [same].
“I release all belief, perception, and judgment that I cannot heal my past traumas, and the need and desire to believe
[same].
“I release all attachment to a particular outcome in my healing and the need and desire to have [same].”
“I release all belief, perception, and judgment that I or my process have failed, and the need and desire to believe [same].
I forgive myself for any perceived failings in healing or preventing my own suffering.”
“I release all belief, perception, and judgment that others or SPIRIT/God have caused me to suffer, and the need and
desire to believe [same]. I release all belief perception and judgment that others, including SPIRIT, God, or High Self are
to blame for my circumstance or experience. I forgive others and SPIRIT/God of any perceived harm or injustice.
“I release all belief, perception, and judgment that I am helpless or undeserving of healing and the need and desire to
believe [same].
“I release all belief, perception, and judgment that suffering or limitation benefits me in any way, and the need and desire
to believe [same].

Replacement statement:
“I now accept and instruct my subconscious to accept on every level of my being that I am whole and perfect in SPIRIT
and manifesting health even as I experience change. I take charge now of my own healing process and give thanks for
the assistance I receive from SPIRIT and others.”

If you find that you are not yet ready and open to receive healing, you may need to do work and research in a number of
areas. Be ready to do what High Self indicates, as you may need to take action in addition to clearing. For example, you
may need to change your diet, relationships, and mental, emotional, and physical habits. Just remember: you are worth it.

Practice compassion for yourself

It often seems that this healing business is hard work. Pain and anguish do tend to get our attention, as we are wired as
spiritual beings to continually seek alignment with love. In all this striving, do not forget that you are more than your
suffering. One question to ponder is “Who am I without my suffering?” Do not forget to acknowledge your strength,
determination, and compassion as you help yourself and others. You are a divine being indeed.

SRT Update
As always, the most important parts of your clearing process are a thorough prep to
work and mop-up. If your High Self is being updated with all the newest information,
wisdom, light, and understanding, it is not usually necessary for you ask for specific
clearing on these items.
Portals at New Paradigm
As the Soul/Spirit grows in knowledge, wisdom, light, and understanding, it expands to
reach new levels of ascension. New Paradigm, which is at the highest levels of
RADIANT LOVE on Chart 3, can introduce additional challenges. Robert Detzler finds
that there are 90 portals at this level that allow us to investigate some facet of
creation. Often a Soul/Spirit attempts to access too many portals at once, generating
fatigue and confusion. They can be overwhelmed due to the overextension of their
energy. If you or a client is feeling fatigue or confusion, ask how many portals to New
Paradigm you or the client is trying to access, then find out how many they should be
accessing. Then ask SPIRIT to pull them back from any portals that exceed the number
that it is wise for them to access at any one time. Remind them that there is no time or
space in SPIRIT and that there is no need to rush. They will get to explore all of them in
due time.
Mop-up Circles
As part of a thorough clearing, make sure you are asking for a complete “mop-up” (see
your “Advanced SRT Procedure” for details). Mop-up is indicated when the pendulum
moves in a circle in response to the question “Is there anything more to do?” at the end
of a clearing session. If the pendulum continues to move in a circle again after this initial
mop-up is complete, ask how many circles (levels) there are left to clear. Continue to ask
that High Self clear every aspect of every circle (level), until High Self verifies that there
are zero left to clear. In addition, ask what percentage of the items in mop-up have been
cleared. If less than 100%, ask for clearing until 100% of 100% of all items on the mop-
up list are cleared. Mop-up now includes items beyond number. Here are some
additional items that are getting cleared:
 All programs on all charts (including programs not on charts).
 All discordant energies on Chart 6A and beyond in the entire ONE Universe.
Another Sticky Issue
There are many reasons people continue to have challenges after an SRT clearing. The
most common are lack of change in the client’s mental and emotional choices, and
blocking conscious mind beliefs (these cannot be changed—only supported in change—
through SRT work). For information on what questions to ask about “sticky issues,” see
the April 2009 Ascension article. Here is another question you may need to ask for
people that are continually challenged.
It seems that about 2 to 3% of folk have a “double set of books.” This means that they
have a double set of records. As part of mop-up, your High Self should be getting rid of
all copies of records (which Robert Detzler refers to as “clearing every jot, tittle,
paragraph, and closing and sealing the books”) If you have cleared the “book,” but the
person still has issues, ask if there is a second book in the Void. Then ask to have both
sets of books burned. Ask that your High Self do this automatically when possible.

SRT Methodology
Discarnates, Fear, and “Air Pollution”
By Beth Richardson
A lot of the work we do on the SRA Clearing and Consulting
line has to do with discarnates and other blocking energies/
entities found on Chart 5. Callers frequently ask, “Why do I
keep getting discarnates?” Most of the time the answer is
Fear, the kind of fear generally found on Charts 5 and 6A.” It is important to remember
that we attract to us what we focus on and we tend to focus most on what we fear.
Sometimes maintaining clarity is as simple as remembering to set an intention of clarity
and knowing it is going to be so. But if you have gone through all the current prep to
work and clearing steps and can’t stay clear, the “Air Pollution” analogy may offer an
explanation.
For the purpose of illustration, consider for a moment your body’s immune system. If it
is working properly, you are generally not much bothered by a little air pollution. If
your immune system is compromised, a little air pollution can cause real problems. But
if the air pollution is extreme, it will bother even those with a healthy immune system.
Now consider your energy field as your “spiritual immune system.” If your vibration
optimal, you aren’t too likely to attract discarnates and other blocking energies. The
primary cause of lowered vibrations is negative emotions like the fear-based energies
found on Chart 6A. These negative emotions lower your vibration and compromise
your “spiritual immune system.” Negative emotions are the things all of us deal with on
a daily basis – anger, resentment, frustration, guilt, etc. When we allow negative
emotions to accumulate, we lower our vibration and become more attractive to the
unwelcome company of discarnates and the like.
Negative emotion/energy can also weaken any “shield” we put in place. No matter how
“spiritually aware” we are, we are not be able to avoid them. They are part of the human
experience and experience is part of the process. (See Chart 27). So, the next time you
find yourself angry or frustrated with the person who cut you off in traffic or a rude
cashier, forgive yourself for having a human moment and ask SPIRIT to clear the
energy. Don’t let it accumulate. An important part of staying clear is to quickly
recognize negative emotion, release it, clear it, and replace it with an energy based in
love rather than fear.
Remember the air pollution analogy? Just as heavy air pollution will bother even a
person with a strong immune system, places that attract and accumulate negative
energies like hospitals, court rooms, nursing homes, bars, taverns, prisons, angry homes,
and such, can become reservoirs of discarnates and other blocking energies/entities and
become a challenge for anyone’s shield. We can also pick up discarnates and other
blocking energies/entities because we have had some sort of past association with them.
When that is the case, some past life research may be necessary. If SPIRIT indicates a
need for research, start with Chart 4 and move through the process until no further
research is indicated.
At the SRA Center, we generally avoid using the names of the blocking energies/entities
found on Chart 5. The negative connotations attached to them all too often create fear.
Due to cultural programming, even the terms “discarnate” and “entity” can be
problematic. I tend to refer to them as unwelcome guests or pests. Although negative
entities and energies are not to be feared, cultural beliefs and/or a lack of faith and

too.” She also explains that discarantes are really only a small portion of a Soul’s energy Committee
that has been trapped in the incarnational vibration and most of them, even the “nasty”
ones, just want to be cleared and assisted in their return to SPIRIT. This doesn’t have to
be a complicated task. Most of the time, it is only a matter of asking SPIRIT to take care
of it and knowing that it will be done.

Robert Detzler says the other thing that will lower your vibration and open you up to
discarnates and negative energies/entities are Unknown Beliefs. These are things like: Xenia Ioannidou was born to
