Testimonies On Trance and Other Academy Experiences

Surprise Healing
Jan Averil

When I look outside my upstairs window I can see two yards, mine and my neighbor's. In mine I see green grass, flowers, trees, a bird bath, a white chaise lounge - a place of order and serenity.

My neighbor's lawn has withered and dried. Her weeds are just below the fence line and even they are a rusty-brown color. There are four white, abandoned chairs, discolored from the elements. Against the fence are a few oleander shrubs struggling to survive in this neglected garden.

Not long ago, and for a two week period, my mind was like my neighbors yard. I could see only the weeds. I was full of anger, down on myself, weak, tired - I was the oleander shrub struggling to survive.

I have been in Rev. Bill's Friday night trance class for about a year and I have experienced and observed many healings. On this particular Friday evening Rev. Bill asked if anyone had something they would like to work on. What was truly amazing is that only two people had ailments. I don't know about my other classmates, but the weeds of my mind were choking me into stillness. I was sitting up to my eyeballs in excrement and could not move.

As class continued, we tranced each other and Rev. Bill tranced the group. During the last trance with Rev. Bill my classmates became amused and laughter circled the room. Although I felt lighter in spirit, I just wanted to be still for I had found myself in a very quiet, peaceful place. A waterfall of love was flowing through me and I just wanted to savor this Eden. However, even with this experience I found myself going home that night blaming myself for not raising my hand in class to ask for a healing.

You know what was truly amazing? I didn't realize until the following morning that I was back in the garden of my mind. I had received the healing. Trance works, even when you think it hasn't. All the weeds had turned into flowers, the weeds were nowhere to be found because my vision was transformed in the twinkling of an eye.


Healing in my perceptions
Anne Savino

I had an experience in trance recently that was a profound eye-opener to me. I am going through a divorce and experiencing a lot of anger, sadness, frustration and grief. Needless to say, I was clouded with despair.

During this one trance session, I relaxed and separated from this negative state. As I did, we were told to experience the connection with the God of our heart. I saw the figure of Jesus in front of me and I asked Him how He would handle this situation and also how He saw my ex-husband.

I saw him holding my ex-husband in his arms, cradling him to his chest, showing me that He loved him very much. Then I saw Him leading him to a place where insane people lived and left him there. He told me that he had to honor every person and where they want to be; that because of His love for everyone, He had to let them do what made them happy because otherwise they would be unhappy and it would hurt them.

I saw this as being our free will. We are free to be where we want in mind. Jesus then told me in this trance state that I was hurting my ex-husband by trying to make him come around to my way of thinking.

I saw that the Supreme Being punishes nobody but only gives us what we want, even if what they want is hell for us and heaven for them. He does not judge or love anybody less, no matter what their choices. I saw that keeping that state of mind in my mind is an awesome responsibility. It is true, one man's junk is another man's treasure.

Seeing With New Eyes
Megan Kinter

I have been having a longing to heal the pain I feel regarding my dad whom I have not spoken to in a long time. I was given an opportunity to experience the true healing power of trance for myself. I was taken on a trance journey facilitated by Rev. Bill. I first was shown the pain I was in, regarding my dad. I saw many old pictures filled with misconceptions and lies I had come to regard as truths. As a result of the awareness I was given, I was able to come to terms with the feelings which caused pain for so long. My past was keenly visible. The most beautiful thing about my past, though it was a path to trudge, I saw I wasn't trudging it alone, no matter what I previously thought. Upon my return to full conscious awareness I was overwhelmed with a sensation completely new to me, one of supreme ecstasy - a sense of total completion. The next day I received a phone call from my dad who I had not heard from in a while. It was great to see that when I received a healing so did my dad. Special thanks to Rev. Bill for facilitating this experience and to the class for providing the opportunity.


A Simple Healing
Mort Litwack

Rev. Bill led a chakra cleanout during a recent Monday night trance class. When he got to the sixth chakra I saw a logjam in my head. Then the logjam exploded and everything became crystal clear. It was as if the clouds had parted and there was a single thought to deal with, instead of a lot of ideas jammed up in my head. It was so simple and easy to focus on one thing at a time rather than have thoughts fighting for my attention. I didn't do anything to make it happen - it just did. What a relief.

I was able to pulverize the logjam into a great big pile of slivers. Which proves a point&emdash; when I had a logjam I was bothered, when my perception changed I realized I had a head full of slivers, I wasn't bothered at all. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I was still in the woods, but I quit missing the trees for the forest. What I learned was that all is a matter of perspective.


Healing of the Heart
Sherry Kirschner

I recently had the goodfortune to experience a trance state that was truly extraordinary. The experience was healing and multifaceted. I cleansed the pictures of the past that held me frozen in fear of my own power. So much so, I was stagnated, I didn't know what to do. In fact, I was stuck beyond belief.

I was in a very relaxed state when R. Bill asked my subconscious mind to bring forward all the images that were related to the present physical state of my hip joint. One by one memories began to reveal themselves and I felt like I was watching a video tape of my life. R. Bill was persistent in suggesting to me that I continue until all pictures were revealed. I began to see a repetitive pattern. I saw how I blamed the difficulty with my hip joint on the sexual feelings I had from a very young age. This was a surprise to me because I thought that aspect of my life had been healed by my experiences in the 60's and 70's. But those images were much older than what I thought. The other stuff just covered over the core of the problem. I saw that I had been condemning this body for its sexuality and sensuality. Through the years a chasm has developed between me and my body. We have not liked each other; we were truly at enmity with one another. We have not been in rapport.

I was aware that these images were inherently my mother's and father's, who got them from their mother and father. And I suspect, it goes back further than that. I saw a whole host of fears and discomfort with the sexuality of the physical body. All the people around me were uncomfortable with their sexuality while I was growing up. Sex was a pretty taboo subject at that time. I discovered that there was nothing wrong with sex. It was the inherited thinking process that was the culprit all the time. I now know that this was sin. And I was a sinner, a suffering sinner, because I bought into it hook, line and sinker. In other words, I wasn't too hip.

The session reminded me of how alive I used to be, how excited I was about life and how much love I felt for living. It seemed like everyone around me then was old and boring and unhappy. So I began to judge myself for being different, for wanting more, although I didn't really know what I wanted, and for feeling this funny feeling between my legs all the time.

The trance session brought forth a multitude of realizations. Afterward, I was not in my usual state. I was grounded, sad and reflective. Sad, because I could see I had wasted my time. Now I'm glad, I don't have to waste it anymore. I am free to be me.

My hip has barely hurt since the session. I am walking straighter. My hip feels a part of my body now, like it belongs. I have a God-given sense of well being I have not felt in a very long time.


Wow! What a Healing!
Cathleen Hodgson

We had yet another amazing trance retreat weekend in Lake Tahoe.

The days were filled with several trance sessions and several walks in the forest. In the evenings, Rev. Bill gave classes. On Saturday night during class I found myself in a profound trance state. I was experiencing true love for myself, I was so very happy that I could have let myself cry. I was being me, a spiritual entity, while uniting in mind with my body for safe keeping of sanity, wisdom and harmony. I was flowing like butter melting in a pan. In truth, the negativity was departing because it was not my own. I was carrying it for others who really didn't give a damn about themselves and I was praying that they would in my lifetime and dying trying to hold onto it. In trance I had to let go because I clearly saw the pain was too much to bear. Besides, I wasn't God and they already were loved but didn't realize it. I laughed at being such a fool for these others and in my amusement the God of my heart saw to it that I was healed beyond belief.


Healing Past Relationships
Kevin Kramer

I went on a Trance Retreat to Lake Tahoe. One of the exercises during class on Friday night was pretending to fall in love. Since this has happened to me before, it was fun to watch what was going through my mind. What I noticed was, it was a way of replaying the past in my mind, and rightly use the other person to role model the past as a way to get over it. The person I was working with turned out to be a perfect mirror. I was amazed. The individual seemed to have all these characteristics that represented people in my past relationships. I was able to see where I didn't see before. I was able to let go of hard feelings because of my new understanding. It opened me up to see clearly, to be myself and to renew and regenerate my well-being for a better life.


Fascinating Myself
Jessie Babbitt

Recently I had the privilege of coming to SRF to visit. One afternoon that I was there, Rev. Linda and Rev. Bill were doing a trance exercise with the kids. First Rev. Linda got us very relaxed, both our mind and body. After that Rev. Bill took us back to before we were born, before we were even in an egg. He was asking the question, "Where are you now?" I kept trying to figure out where I was and I just couldn't. And then, all of a sudden, it came to me. I couldn't believe it but I knew. At first it seemed weird. I was out in space looking down upon the earth. The earth looked sort of cartoony and goofy, almost like it was made out of clay or something. And then as time passed my picture became clearer and clearer. I was able to see that I was out in space carefully observing the entire earth and everything that was going on. I was trying to find the right place for me to go to once it was time for me to come to earth.

After we came out of trance my conscious mind took awhile to digest all of this, but eventually it did. I am so amazed at the power that trance has. It was so easy for me to get this information that I didn't even know was available to me.


Keeping It Simple at ISHI
Kathy Bibeau

I am really enjoying the Hypnotherapy certification program because the information is presented in such a simple manner. The way the course is taught really validates my own information and shows me how I can put that to use to help myself and others. There is a lot of amusement in the class also, which helps tremendously when things begin to seem overwhelming. And what I like the most is that the emphasis is placed on getting hands on practice rather than just paying for a certificate and collecting a lot of information. This makes it real and honest for me.


Loving My Body
Donna Orbegoso

I had an incredible spontaneous trance experience with Rev. Bill last night. As long as I can remember I've had a difficult time expressing myself to people, especially males. Rev. Bill guided me into a trance experience that uncovered the core pictures around communication and loving my body. When in the trance state I re-experienced early incest pictures. I was able to see how my father's and grandfather's sexual experiences (sexual library) were being acted out through my body to this very day. I seemed to travel very quickly and I was seeing energy stored in my body. I was able to recognize and release these pictures. The energy in my body had caused me to be inhibited and experience shame about my sexuality. This experience cleared up many unanswerable questions about my life and relationships with people. I am extremely thankful for this experience because it opened the door to owning and loving my body.


ISHI... A New Beginning for me!
Debbie Saliby

I have been greatly inspired again by participating in this new program. Over the last couple of months I have experienced a tremendous healing and release of old emotional patterns and negative thoughts which have been plaguing me for a long time. They have just effortlessly gone away and I feel my old self emerging again, happy, enthused and quietly at peace with my self and my life. There is very little in my life to complain about and so much to give praise to. This program is a new beginning for me to get back on track with healing. Rev. Angela and Rev. Debi are great teachers and I totally enjoy their incredibly talented styles and expertise on the subject as well as their great amusement levels and healing abilities. I recommend this program to anyone who may even want to turn around and help others to do the same.


Released from Chains of Bondage
Jan Averil

My heart was feeling very heavy. I was uncomfortable about the hypnotherapy training that I was taking. Thoughts like, "Who did I think I was," were running through my mind.

Rev. Bill asked me how I was doing when suddenly I found myself in a wonderful, positive trance state. My body was experiencing pleasure and fun as I said goodbye to all the condemning chains of thoughts that held my body in bondage. I also saw how I had seen Ray (ex-husband) in the eyes of another man which triggered the self-condemnation.

I was reunited in a true union with the Supreme Being - my body, mind and spirit were united in joy.


Healing of the Heart
Linda Sanchez

Recently, at the hypnotherapy class being taught at ISHI, R. Bill did a trance session with me. I was having severe back pain to the point of having difficulty moving. In the session, I saw an injury that happened water-skiing when I was ten. I did not tell anyone I was hurt for fear of getting in trouble by my uncle who had a bad temper. It was so clear to see the feeling going through all the people around me. This and all connected to it was cleared out. That was great but it was the least of it really. R. Bill intuited the presence of my dad. I got to reunite with my dad and tell him what I did not get to tell him before he passed on. I felt as if I was laying on his heart which was as big as his large chest. It felt so good to just be there- in love- unwrapped from human personality mishaps. After I reflected on that session, I knew it as the love of the Supreme Being. I am so thankful for this experience. It has allowed me to quickly go through the healing crisis of my back with a great attitude, and that is a big change.


Fear
Kay Smith

In a trance session, I was facilitated back in time to the age of 3-1/2 and saw myself in the post office with my mom. I saw her receiving a very large bill and saw how this made her very upset inside and out. She was so upset, the energy was so heavy that my body trembled as a 3-1/2 year old and I took on all the fear. The pictures were of her having to leave me because she didn't have the money to pay the bills. There were other fear pictures that were worked on, but they were all connected somehow to this first one. I had realized that none of that fear was mine. I experienced a tremendous relief as I no longer had to carry around that burden of emotional energy. Not only did I receive the healing I needed, but I was given simple and easy to use tools to use in those situations where fear used to come up for me. What a blessing!
