ShareTwenty seven- year-old Seema Seth (name changed) is a divorcee, who had suffered a great deal of emotional and financial loss after her divorce. This resulted in her bad health and despite frequent visits to doctors, she couldn't find a cure. It's during that time that she learnt about Geettanjali V Saxenaa, a theta healing practitioner. After a session with Saxenaa, Seth felt like a different person altogether. "It gave me a renewed confidence and I realised that all this while I had shut myself from the world," says Seth.
Welcome to the world of theta healing, an alternate healing method founded by US-based Vianna Stibal, almost 15 years back. This relatively new form of healing is finding many takers amongcity folks.
"Patients come seeking solutions to both physical and mental problems," states Geettanjali V Saxenaa, theta DNA healer based in Versova. In this healing method, the practitioner goes into a stage where he can interact with the supreme power or god. This stage, known as the theta stage, is the brainwave that a body achieves when one is in deep meditation.
Theta healing is a process in which a person's belief is changed. "We are born with a certain belief which plays an important role in many circumstances," says Saxenaa. Her growing clientele is proof of the power of theta.
Explaining the methodology of treatment Saxenaa cites an example. For instance, if someone holds a belief that money is the root cause of evil, no matter how much he tries, he will never be able to attract wealth. Here comes the role of the theta healer. The healer goes into the theta stage and achieves a conversation with the supreme power and tries to change the belief which the patient has. This power is transferred to the patient through touch and he/she feels the difference.
"It is very difficult to achieve the theta stage. But once the practitioner goes into this stage, he/she can find the root of all the problems," says Dr Anu Sharma, certified hypnotherapist and theta practitioner. She says that when people face a certain problem, they don't know how to go ahead and solve it.
"The theta practitioner goes through seven planes of existence and talks to the creator and demands for the change in behaviour," she says. When the core belief of a person, mostly negative, is changed then the healing takes place. Unlike Reiki, where the person puts across the problem in front of the universal life force and asks to do whatever is in the best interest of the person, in case of theta healing, the person commands a particular type of change to the creator, informs Sharma.
Healing through the theta process is totally person-specific. "The patient must be willing to change his/her thought process and trust the practitioner, only then the complete healing is possible," says Dr Suman Kuthial, consulting homeopath and theta practitioner based in Mulund.
Theta healing is beneficial for not only mental and emotional ailments but also for physical ailments. "I have seen people recover from depression, muscular dystrophy, fear of pregnancy and also injuries through theta healing," says Dr Kuthial. Theta healing can be given to a person at any place and at any time. The connection between the patient and the practitioner through theta healing remains for almost 24 hours.
Malad-based Pooja Mathur, clinical hypnotherapist and theta healing practitioner says that mostly introvert people, who can't go through the emotional trauma in a past life regression therapy are suggested this healing method. "Theta healing helps release trauma from the subconscious mind," she says.
According to psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr Anjali Chhabria, "Nowadays people have so many problems and they need someone to listen to them. Since many hesitate to go to a psychiatrist for counselling, they fall back on alternate ways of healing, where faith is involved and there is someone to assure you that things will be alright."
The number of sessions and the cost differs from patient to patient and the problem they are facing. One session costs anywhere between Rs500 to Rs1,500.
