ThetaHealing Fraud – Fact or Fiction, You Decide
As ThetaHealing™ starts to grow in popularity, a quick search on the internet forThetaHealing™ nowadays becomes a journey through an array of websites. But even the positive sites are now being inundated with negativity. On You Tube, videos posted by ThetaHealers® are being defaced by a dedicated little band of “Truth Seekers” whose main aim is to make everyone aware of how much they hate Vianna Stibal and ThetaHealing™ in general. Are their comments objective observations or are they subjective slurs? So the big question is who/ what do we believe?
I think by now people who read my blog know where I stand on the issue, I love ThetaHealing™. The “Truth Seekers” as they call themselves, are people who once had some type of involvement in ThetaHealing™ in one way or another. One is Vianna’s (ex?) daughter in law, whose testimonial appears on the back of the ThetaHealing™ Book. Others are Teachers who have moved away from ThetaHealing™ because of many varied reasons but mostly because they did not teach Vianna’s information as she intended, others are people who think that they know better than all ThetaHealers® and then we just have the followers. Most of these people were more than happy to play inside the so-called lie and fraud whilst it suited them, but now that they are no longer in ThetaHealing™, they want to destroy it and everyone involved in it. One of the Teachers that taught me now has their own modality and has even confessed that he did not even teach Vianna’s material. So where is my refund for the thousands of dollars that I paid to learn a modality that I was never taught. One of the claims by the “Truth Seekers” is that is costs $20,000 to become a ThetaHealing™ Master. Well, a lot of that money goes to ThetaHealing™ teachers like the one I mentioned before that had no trouble in taking the money and I can tell you they were raking in the money and not even teaching it properly. So not all of the money goes to Vianna!
People say that is ok for them to do what they are doing because of freedom of speech etc, but it is where they post their comments that is the concerning point. They deface other peoples Facebook pages, You Tube pages and anywhere else they can put a negative comment. It is a great strategy even if it is a little parasitic. They sit there and entertain each other with their little quips. Where are their videos on You Tube?? And as for their comments, one of the posters even proudly makes the comment “you will never know who I am”. Then if you are happy to hide behind your anonymity, why should anyone take your comments seriously?
Just for fun, let’s attempt to put this into some sort of perspective. Just Imagine that there is a big company say Apple, and Steve Jobs has a son. Just say this son leaves his wife and now his wife is bagging out Steve Jobs and Apple, and saying that Apple products don’t work. I wonder how far that would go. What about a person in the Apple Corporation who wanted Steve Jobs to approve their own product but they were the only ones who could sell it, I wonder if Apple would do that? Or what about if the Technician modified some of the components in the iPod on the assembly line to make it “better” and said “Don’t tell Steve Jobs I am doing this”, I wonder how Apple would handle it?
What about another brand such as Kentucky Fried Chicken. The Colonels son leaves his wife and she goes out and tells everyone that it is not even chicken, and that there aren’t even really 11 herbs and spices, that is all just a great big fraud. What about the store owner who wants to add another secret ingredient but it can only be sold in their shop by them. And then finally you have the disgruntled shop owner who takes the few herbs and spices that they can identify, takes some from other fast food outlets, smashes them all together, and they go and start-up their own new Chicken shop called “The Chicken that really tastes like Chicken, that makes KFC redundant!!!”
Most of the claims that they make would never be tolerated in the corporate world. One of my favourite claims that they post everywhere is , you shouldn’t have to pay for a healing. Well people pay money when they go to church (it is called a collection plate), people pay people to do Reiki, Angel Readings, Pranic Healings, NLP, and Reference Point Therapy, so why not ThetaHealing™. Why do we have to be poor? Oh, that’s right they also claim that it doesn’t work. According to whom?? I have plenty of clients and students that this has worked for, as do many other ThetaHealers.
The “Truth Seekers” say that ThetaHealers® are stupid because they worship Vianna Stibal like some sort of Guru, but I had been doing ThetaHealing™ for 2 years before I even met Vianna Stibal. Before then I had teachers (that are no longer teaching ThetaHealing™) running around trying to be my guru. It is funny because some of the people who are criticising Vianna have done and continue to do what they accuse her of. Where are the fraud pages set up for them??
Even if Vianna Stibal was all that they say she is, why do they have to take it out on all ThetaHealers? There are many people who don’t like Dr Eric Pearl but they don’t go around rubbishing The Reconnection, or people who don’t like Doreen Virtue don’t bag out Angel Therapy Practitioners. Even if there was no Vianna Stibal, there would still be ThetaHealing™. Pranic Healing and Reiki have survived beyond their Masters death.
One thing that I am sure of is that even by me writing this post I will be targeted and my page, if I allow comments, will be hit with a myriad of comments. My You Tube Videos that I post so people can see how much fun we have, have been attacked so now I have moderate the comments. They are always by the same people, and mostly people who hide behind their made up names. If they really had any truth to tell us they would be proud to put their names to it, just as I am proud to put my name to my blog.
So in answer to my initial question, who do you believe? Well it is entirely up to you. As with anything in life there will be people who love it, people who hate it and those who sit in the middle, ThetaHealing™ is no different. I am a fairly well educated person and grown up enough to make decisions for myself. The “Truth Seekers” would probably consider me an idiot, but you know what, when nothing else worked on my depression and acne rosacea, ThetaHealing™ was the only thing that worked. So why would I hate something that gave me back everything that I lost and much, much more. As for the truth, well being an Indigo Child I know all about it. I am not a “Truth Seeker”, I am a Truth Knower!!
I love Apple, I love KFC and I love ThetaHealing™.

Experience or Experienced: Is there a difference??
I wonder if any of you have ever had the same experience as me? For a great part of my life I have had people wanting to “put me in my place”. It didn’t matter whether it was in my Nursing Career, my Military Career or even today in my ThetaHealing™ Career, there are always those that want to tell you how much more “experienced” they are.
Now I am sure that I have mentioned in previous posts that I started out my life as an Indigo Child. So as a walking, talking lie detector, many times I knew that people were not speaking from truth or integrity. The thing is that although people think that they are experienced, they really are not. My Indigo insight has allowed me to see through the illusion. It has often stepped in and shown me the truth which allowed me to continue on with my journey.
To explain this concept and illusion of experience, imagine that, Nurse A has been on a ward for the last 20 years. Now when a new graduate Nurse (Nurse B) goes to that ward they are promptly told that Nurse A has 20 years experience and to learn from them. So then Nurse B plays the game and what happens is that they often quickly out grow the more “experienced” Nurse. But how can that happen, if Nurse A has 20 years experience? Well, it is easy when you look behind the illusion that is set up before us. Nurse A may have only really had one year of experience but has repeated it 19 times, which will equal the illusion of “20 years of experience”. Nurse A is totally convinced that they have had the 20 years of experience, because they have been on the same ward doing the same thing shift after shift. In truth this is not experience, this is stagnation.
I once had an ICU Nurse with over 10 years experience stand in front of me and tell me that as an Army Nurse with all the moving around I had done, I would never be as experienced as she was at ICU nursing. She had never been in the Army and had no point of reference in which to base her claim, but I let her continue with her comments interested to see where it would go. Later that shift one of the ventilators had a fault which would require it to be sent off to be serviced, that would have severely affect the capacity of the ICU. I walked up to the machine, had a quick look, tracked back the fault and with a few adjustments and testing had the machine working in no time at all. She was amazed and wanted to know how I knew what the fault was on the machine. I told her as an Army Nurse I really needed to have a good knowledge of the machinery as well as caring for patients, because on deployments there are no service people and the machines need to work. Sure she had been in the ICU for 10 years but when did her growth stop. She had called me a “Jack of all trades, Master of none”, but as a “junior” ICU Nurse of 2 years, I could already do most that she could do, and a whole lot more that she couldn’t. In nursing there is a culture of the “older Nurses eating their young” which is damaging to the whole industry. This is not isolated to Nursing and happens in many industries, even our Complimentary Healing Industry.
People set themselves up as the “senior” person and judge people as being junior to them with no appreciation of what experience of what they may have done before. One of the things that has made me different to most other people who I have known in my life, is that I prefer to observe rather than judge. I take into account all that a person has done. Other people only see the relevance of things as they are relevant to themselves.
When I was discharged from the Army I was involved in a business that was so dynamic, but then they had some General Managers join the company. These people had a huge amount of “experience” in other business sectors and they proceeded to tell me that I had no experience in management and that they would need to teach me how to manage a team of 15 – 20 people. They also suggested that I go and study an MBA. Now they knew that I had been a Major in the Army and that I had been an Officer Commanding of a Medical Company. I can tell you that it is common to have about 50 – 100 people of various ranks in a Medical Company from Doctor, Nurses and Medics. So they did not have anywhere the level of experience that I had, but I had to sit there as a “junior” manager and listen to their “experience”. Sadly that business is no longer in existence.
When I started my journey on the Spiritual path I thought that these things would not happen anymore. I could not be more wrong. (Just to let you know, of course I have noticed the pattern in my life and have since changed the bottom beliefs and the way it was serving me, and this scenario no longer happens to the same degree.) People very quickly started to make me aware of the hierarchy. When I became the first Australian to be awarded a ThetaHealing™ Master, many of the “senior” teachers ignored me and what was even worse was when one of them told me that it was no big deal and I didn’t have enough experience. That was a turning point in my life. At that stage I may not have been teaching ThetaHealing™ for long but I have many years of experience of Instructing and Training people.( Just for the record, I have now taught over 40 ThetaHealing™ Courses at all levels in the last 2 years, which I guess makes me pretty experienced). As for healing, I have always been a healer, I haven’t always called it ThetaHealing™.
You may be wondering if this all means that I don’t respect people who have more experience than I do, and the answer to that is simple, as long as they do have the experience.
We live in a world where babies are being born with the ability to do Reiki and other healing modalities. People are learning, or is it really just remembering, things more quickly. People can go to THInK (ThetaHealing™ Institute of Knowledge) and do a whole semester of courses and become a ThetaHealing™ Master. We need to get away from this culture of eating our young (just to clarify, young does not have to be age based) and start to nurture each other.
I run Theta Devas (My Business) and teach ThetaHealing™ in a space that is full of love, respect and nurturing. My practitioner sessions are done in the same space. None of my students are a threat to me, I get excited each time one of them becomes a teacher, and I will never treat them the way I was treated by the other ThetaHealing™ Teachers. I have learnt a lot from those “senior” more “experienced” Nurses, Managers and Teachers. Instead of complaining about change or fearing it, let’s truly be the change that you want to see in the world.
So next time you are searching for something in your life be it a Teacher or Practitioner and you are told that someone has 10 years experience, find out more, and let’s stop ignoring the “new comers” because people tell you they lack experience. They probably have the most current and up to date practices and have the most to teach you, possibly about yourself.

Practitioner, Friend or Partner: Who will you be?
One of the things that I have noticed since starting my journey into the healing arts is that everyone wants to heal everyone and everything. This is not always a bad thing, but it is definitely not always a good thing either. There are sometimes that it is just not appropriate to be healing everything and one of these times is when your partner needs you to be their partner or friend.
When I was studying Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) back in 2005/06, I first encountered the “let’s heal everything” phenomenon. I would be out a dinner with my NLP friends, just sitting around and then it would happen, just like magic. Someone would be talking and then around the table would be the chorus of “Limiting belief…” etc. The analysis would begin and the processes would be flung around whether the person wanted it or not. This happened time and time again. People love to solve and heal other people’s problems.
When the movie “The Secret” came out things became really interesting. This movie is all about the Law of Attraction. Now whenever anyone in our circle of friends said anything negative not only did they get the NLP processes, but now they were hit with the Law of Attraction arsenal as well.
I started to reduce the amount of time that I spent with these friends because I never felt that I could truly be myself. I was always afraid of what would come out of my mouth and what the end result would be. Being depressed at the time, I was constantly swimming in negativity, so I would be their prime target. There was a slight problem with my plan of escaping these people. My partner was also doing all of the same courses as me and was in the same circle of friends. So although I was reducing the amount of time I spent with my friends, my partner and I would run the exact same stuff at home. Great!!
This was when I was still working through depression and as much as I love my partner, I did not enjoy the constant analysis of my behaviours and words. I was not able to say anything negative otherwise I would get a quick reminder about the Law of Attraction and how I was attracting what I didn’t want. I must be honest though, I did it too but I felt as though I was unable to talk to my partner anymore. We would constantly argue and I felt like I was slipping backwards into a darker depression again.
One day in a moment of sheer frustration and desperation, I called an urgent meeting. I needed to resolve this issue or our relationship was doomed. There was a lot of heated discussion, a few tears but in the end we came to an agreement. The outcome of this meeting was a defining moment in our relationship and has helped many other practitioners (especially practitioners that are in relationships with another practitioners) to save their relationships. The concept is simple: “Who do you need to be right now? A friend, a partner or a practitioner?”
Sometimes a person just needs to “drain the swamp”. This is when you just say everything that is on your mind. The good, the bad and the ugly. This can be quite a cathartic experience, but when my partner was in practitioner mode this was impossible to do. I didn’t need problem solving, or judgment in fact there was no treatment required, just the need for someone to be a compassionate sounding board. After we were able to clearly define our roles, things were resolved easily and we were back in the flow.
During my ThetaHealing™ journey, I have had a few teachers that have said publicly that they work on their partner and their partner works on them all the time, but in candid conversations they told me that they never allow their partner to work on them and that they never work on their partner because it complicates things. They are surprised when they see me and my partner pair up for belief work. Many people feel the need to warn us that we will break up if we work on each other too much. But isn’t that what we have these amazing tools for? What an amazing gift to be able to use on those that you love, with discernment of course.
Vianna Stibal totally respects her husbands’ free will by not imposing a healing or belief work on him. How many people do you know that try to force belief work on the people around them? Just because you see something to change in a person, it doesn’t mean that they need to change it. By clearly defining who it is that you need your partner to be or who your partner wants you to be, your life will become less complicated and your relationship will flow more freely.
Does this only work for romantic relationships? Absolutely not!! The same strategy works on friends, family and yourself as well. So next time you see someone who needs a healing or help, just ask yourself who do you need to be, a friend or practitioner?

Depression and ThetaHealing
I often receive emails from people asking me how I used ThetaHealing™ to sort out my Depression. Many people have not had as good a result as I have and this makes me sad. I never really thought that there was too much to it, but maybe I need to share some of my insights so that others can have a smoother journey. I appreciate that each case of depression is unique and in fact many episodes of depression could be overwhelm, so I will just stick to my own situation as it is the one that I know best. I would also like to stress that ThetaHealing™ is a complimentary therapy, therefore it works with modern medicine rather than against it. Always work closely with your medical specialists in regards to any treatment that you may be on.
These days I don't really go into my depression story before my discharge from the Army, only to say that it was a really dark time in my life. The more I tried to stay where I was, the harder it became. There were the days, weeks, months curled up in the fetal position in a puddle of tears and snot. The uncontrollable fear and anxiety that consumed my life. The stupid flash backs to situations when I was on deployments, to rehash what I had seen, as though it wasn't enough to go through it once, I was on a never-ending loop. The extreme weight loss, and then ultimately the extreme weight gain. The feelings of absolute uselessness, hopelessness and helplessness. My world had been ripped apart.
I was fortunate in some small way though, when I was discharged from the Australian Army I was not on any medications. Earlier in the year (2005) my body had a horrible reaction and I refused to go anywhere near them after that. About a month before my discharge I actually attended my first ever ThetaHealing™ Practitioner's course. What was the attraction? Well, somewhere in the website it mentioned being able to balance your brain chemistry and DNA activation. The balancing of the brain chemistry was the thing that I wanted most out of the course, and the course delivered. As I continued on my journey I began to discover some other concepts that I will share with you now.
Balancing of the Brain chemistry: is mentioned in the book "ThetaHealing™" by Vianna Stibal, page 227. I did this every day religiously for about a month. I started to notice that my moods balanced, I was actually starting to "feel" things again and I even started to laugh again. I actually started to forget to do this everyday and only did it whan I felt my mood slip.
Feeling Work: it was such a relief to learn this skill. I was able to start downloading feelings that I had either forgotten or never really had. These downloads gave me a new point of reference, which became a very solid foundation on which to rebuild myself. Still to this day I am still downloading new feelings. Specific to depression, I really wanted to know how to experience happiness, joy, excitement, hope, love, usefulness, empowered, worthwhile etc.
Belief Work: At the time I was also learning Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), so I was aware of the type of questioning that is found in digging, but I found that ThetaHealing™ has a very fast and elegant way of dealing with things when you get to the bottom. Unfortunately I did not learn this skill on my first ThetaHealing™ Practitioner's course (for whatever reason), however when I did learn it I loved it. Out of all of the tools in my ThetaHealing™ repertoire, this is the one that I have found to be the most powerful. As long as it is done correctly. There are many people who dislike digging and will tell you that it is dangerous or it doesn't get to the bottom belief, but all I will say is that just like any tool, it's effectiveness is dependent on the operator.
Creator's Definition: Never, never, never accept the download of Creator's definition of depression, or anything else that is negative. This one download put my progress back almost a year. I accepted this download by a person who assured me that they knew what they were doing and that to have Creator's definition of depression would be better to have than my own, because then I wouldn't think that I was depressed anymore. Many people will just sit there and shake their heads and say that it was really stupid to accept that download, well they have that knowledge now because of people like me sharing our experiences. But here is another thing, when you are just starting out, and someone who claims to be one of the best ThetaHealers™ in the world tells you something, who are you going to trust and believe. Anyway, I ended up with Creator's definition of depression for at least 6 months or more.
Heavy Metals: Heavy Metals can affect the brain and cause depression. Vianna talks about this in her "ThetaHealing™" and "Disease and Disorder" Books.
How does depression serve you, and what has it taught you?: This may be quite a confronting question, but it needs to be answered. Our mind is incredibly powerful and will create situations to serve us. In my case I truly believe that depression was a way for me to slow down. I had been deployed twice in one year, which resulted in me being away from home just short of a year. I had no sooner returned home than I was being "threatened" with another deployment. Most people will say "Well that is what you signed up for!", well actually it wasn't. My treatment on my deployments and through my depression (until I was discharged) was substandard and insulting. Anyway, back to how it served me. Without depression I would have continued putting up with whatever the Army threw at me, but instead it made me stop. I was incapable of even the most basic tasks, everything was totally beyond me. So depression made me take time out for me, and it taught me how to put myself first, and how to respect and honour myself.
So there you have some of my insights on the treatment of depression. Just a few things to note, not all ThetaHealing™ teachers and practitioners are the same, make sure you get the best one for you. The cheapest person is just that, the cheapest person, don't allow price to be your only guide. Do a bit of research on them before you commit to a session/course. (I started with a course because I wanted to be able to work on myself.) I have had a lot of very interesting experiences along the way and I would rather have others learn from my experience than their own. My experiences have however helped me to become a very focused and determined ThetaHealing™ Master, keen to make other peoples path as smooth as it can be.

Ok, so originally this post was going to be a blank page. You know like those books, “1000 Things that Men Know About Women” and vice versa and the book of all the US athletes at the Moscow Olympics etc. But I thought that would be too cheeky.
Needless to say however in my mind there are very few things that ThetaHealing™ is unable to help you with. Having said that, it is not a one size fits all approach to healing. The one thing that will govern whether it does work for you or not is your BS (belief systems). And as we all know, BS is a huge contributor to our level of success or failure in life.
There have been a few people in the last few years that have claimed that ThetaHealing™ didn’t work, that it is dangerous or that it has been completely replaced. This a great example of belief systems (BS). When you are out to prove something wrong you will be able to find the results to prove yourself right. And because you have said that it doesn’t work, it won’t. Fortunately for us though, we can live free of adopting their reality as ours.
In my ThetaHealing™ career (it is not a hobby or a pass time, it is my business) I have had a few clients and students who have too much invested in their current situation to even try to change their life. They come to the course or a healing session and want massive changes in their life, but are really there to prove why nothing ever works for them. For those people ThetaHealing™ will not work because they will not allow it to. To be fair though, they have usually tried many other healing modalities that also hadn’t worked. One of the main principles in ThetaHealing™ is to respect people’s Free Will/ Free Agency. We can only do as much as people will allow us to do.
I have had many people say to me that if Vianna was such a great healer, why can’t she just heal everyone instantly whether they want her to or not. I usually give them the same explanation I am going to give you. Vianna respects people’s Free will/ Free agency, sure she does amazing belief and digging work, in fact she is artistic in the way she works, and she can only change the beliefs that the person wants changed. Many people say that they can heal people without their permission, but Vianna doesn’t. Vianna is very aware of who is the healer as are most people in ThetaHealing™, and the answer is Creator.
People will only heal as much as they will allow themselves to. I had a friend who was trying different healing modalities to heal a serious back injury. They were having no success but when we dug into the belief system it turned out that they would not heal completely until their compensation claim was settled. As soon as the compensation claim was paid out, they healed. Our mind is very powerful and very clever.
I also did a healing on a man who had prostate problems, and the healing was very successful. The same man had problems with a huge gall stone, yet when I wanted to work on the gall stone, he didn’t think that it would work, so it didn’t. He then went on to have his gallbladder removed. This is a great example of the ThetaHealing™ Practitioner only being able to work on what the client wants worked on. I know that Creator would have sorted out that gall stone very easily.
So there you have it. ThetaHealing™ can work on as many things as you believe it will. What limitations do you have??
