This page describes each technique used in Somatic Healing, followed by real life examples of how these techniques produced miracles of healing, sometimes in a single session. Somatic Healing consists of four powerful processes: The Golden Sun Process, Hypnotic Movement, Color Healing, and Psychic Surgery performed by the Inner Healer. Developed by David Quigley and Nick Ardagh, Somatic Healing is always used as an adjunct to, never a substitute for, proper medical treatment. Somatic Healing practitioners always work where possible under medical supervision.

“Beyond Hypnosis” “Somatic Healing is beyond hypnosis!” “I have been a successful hypnotherapist since 1980 and have led over 5,000 weight loss and smoking cessation seminars to audiences and therapists coast to coast for 21+ years, and over two decades of teaching have presented to 150,000 people. I have also led hypnosis trainings. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with David Quigley’s Somatic Healing process at our IMDHA/IACT Conference in Daytona Beach, Florida.” “Arriving at the conference, I was in constant pain from a recent accident, with 12 rib fractures on the left side. After one session of Somatic Healing, 98% of my chronic pain had disappeared. I was able to lay flat for the first time in one month. Both walking and sleeping were much easier, and I felt my body recharged as well as healed.” “I am now determined to study Somatic Healing and to help David Quigley to bring it to the world.”

 In this entertaining and deeply experiential class, you will learn techniques for controlling and eliminating pain and recovering from illness and injury that can be very effective in only a few minutes of practice every day, as an adjunct to medical treatment. The methods you will learn and experience in class will include all of these and more:

• The Golden Sun process is an energy channeling method that is both easy to learn and extremely effective.
• Alchemical Healing is an advanced methodology for exploring and clearing the underlying causes of disease in the subconscious mind.
• Hypnotic Movement is a process of tuning into you body and allowing it to move in its own unique way to unwind physical traumas (like auto injuries), reduce swelling and inflammation (sciatica and arthritis), and eliminate pain.
• Color Healing involves discovering the colors of a pain in the body and learning easy ways to move that color out of the body through exit points (like acupuncture points) that your body can readily identify for you. Especially powerful for headaches, as well as any chronic pain.
• The Inner Healer is a powerful inner guide who can give us medical advice, and will perform spiritual surgery on our bodies in class to remove tumors, repair the bones, muscles and internal organs of our bodies.

You will experience at least 4 opportunities for a healing process throughout the weekend. Even better, you will learn how to use these methods every day to heal your body. And if you have a practice in the counseling or healing arts, you will learn how to multiply your effectiveness with clients. Continuing education units are available for nurses, psychotherapists, and hypnotherapists.

Golden Sun Process

The Golden Sun Process is an energy channeling technique which helps us concentrate and channel the energy of the universe into places of pain and illness in our own bodies, and those of our clients. This process can add new power to other proven techniques of laying on of hands healing, such as Reiki or Therapeutic Touch. The Golden Sun Process is not subtle. Both practitioners and clients who experience this work describe the energy being channeled as intensely hot, electrical, tingling. This process utilizes visualization of various colors and images through which the body becomes a transformer of Universal energy. Grounding cords are placed into the earth from the feet and the base of the spine which bring earth energy up into the body. The Golden Sun of the Higher Self brings golden energy down into the body. Both energies are merged in the heart, then channeled into the practitioner’s hands. I have used this technique to eliminate headaches, the common cold, and other ailments. It requires, however, tremendous concentration and very open psychic channels in the practitioner in order to be effective alone. It works better as one component of the Somatic Healing process.

Hypnotic Movement

Hypnotic Movement is a technique in which the muscles of the body are instructed to move themselves without conscious direction or control in order to release old traumas, restore flexibility, eliminate pain, and promote healing. Once a client experiences these unique and powerful movement patterns in their body, they can learn to perform these simple exercises on their own in order to exponentially increase the healing power of these movements. Hypnotic movement techniques are based on the ancient principle that our bodies already know how to heal themselves. All we must do is persuade the conscious mind to step aside and let the body do it. That’s why all these movements require a light hypnotic trance in order to by-pass normal conscious controls. These movements may involve some supportive touch. That is, the therapist may hold the client’s body in a twisted position that the body has assumed on it’s own, to help the client relax in that position. They may involve therapeutic touch, in which the therapist directly channels healing energy to the client’s body. Although therapeutic touch and supportive touch are helpful to somatic healing, they are not usually essential to its success. 

Healing Accident Injuries

 

Accident Injury Healed in 1 hour “I suffered from a Roller Blading fall. I landed on my right hip hard. The pain was a 9 on a scale to 10. When I showed up at David’s Somatic Healing class a few days later, I was still limping and in excruciating pain. He had me lay in the position of my fall and re-live this painful accident in my body. As my body twitched and moved through this re-living process, I felt a large sharp pain enter in the same area of my injury and then, it instantly faded away. My body was completely healed. It has been 2 years now still pain free from the fall.”

Dave Edwards Leesburg, FL

Within minutes…her pain was gone and has not returned. “My wife was struck by a taxi while crossing a street on foot. She was knocked about ten feet through the air, from the pedestrian crosswalk where she’d just gotten off the bus. The resulting bruising, pain and stiffness were severe, in fact the whole right side of her body was black and blue. Initially she was barely able to walk, and four months later was still struggling with continued pain and swelling in her legs and leg muscles – and a persisting fear of crossing the street. Physical Therapy and Psychotherapy failed to improve her condition. I had just taken the Somatic Healing class with David Quigley in Santa Rosa. When she heard what I’d witnessed in that 2-day class, my wife was eager to give it a try. I focused much of our Somatic Healing session on the accident recovery technique. Within minutes, by the time we finished the session her pain was gone and has not returned. Furthermore, her fear of crossing the street has disappeared.”

The first type of hypnotic movement useful primarily for accident victims is running traumas in the body. This is essentially a kind of hypnotic regression in which the client returns to the scene of a violent accident, and the muscles and connective tissue & internal organs of the body re-live and move through the original trauma. But this time the client goes through the experience very slowly, and completely free of pain. Then, when the client’s body reaches the moment of actual injury (referred to as Maximum Scrunch) the client is instructed to hold this position. As awkward-indeed impossibly uncomfortable-as the position may appear to an observer, the client in this position feels pain free. In fact, the client may feel incredibly relaxed and experience waves of blissful tingling or pulsing as the body accepts this position as safe and stress-free. At this point the therapist may wish to support the body so that the muscles can relax in this position. Afterwards the body may move to another position of “Maximum Scrunch” (i.e. point of injury) for a few more minutes. Slowly the body finishes “unwinding” its way through the entire accident, then relaxes into a prone position again. I ask the body to signal to the client when it’s “done”, and the client relays this signal to me by nodding their head. This process is frequently, but not always, accompanied by vivid recollection of the accident scene, emotional reactions such as groans or tears, or by intense sensations of tingling and warmth in the affected body parts. The one sensation rarely reported to me is pain.
Old Leg Injury Healed in 45 Mins Wes Carpenter, a 52-year old businessman from Sacramento broke his leg at the knee joint during an airplane crash in 1983. Even after 3 reconstructive surgeries, he walked for 14 years with a noticeable limp. His right leg was permanently twisted outward, and he went to bed every night with pain in his hip and leg. He was also unable to bend his leg more than 45 degrees, and had difficulty standing up or sitting down as a result. During a somatic healing session, he re-lived very slowly in trance the entire accident. He was able to recall every detail of the accident for the first time. (Prior to the session, he suffered complete amnesia for the experience). His body contorted in absolutely bizarre ways, stopping at one point in a particularly contorted position with his right leg twisted behind his body, where I supported his leg in that position for about 2 minutes. When his body straightened back out his leg was, for the first time since the accident, completely straight, totally flexible and free of pain. He squatted for the first time in 14 years 5 minutes after the procedure. Four months later, he continues to walk normally and experiences total freedom from pain. He describes his experience as comparable to having a brand new leg. The entire procedure took 45 minutes.

Repetitive Strain Injuries and Joint Pain

Neck Pain and Stiffness Eased with Somatic Healing

Jean Cantrell was forced to leave a stressful job after years of repetitive overuse of her neck combined with verbal abuse from a supervisor. Her neck became inflamed and stiff, with excruciating shooting pains down her arms. After two years of significant healing by other modalities, restricted movement, residual pain, and the disempowering emotional component of the injury were still present. I first asked her neck to assume the position it had held at work. As her head and neck assumed an awkward, rigid position. I then supported them. Tears flowed as her body, mind, and spirit experienced the ‘support’ so blatantly lacking in her former work environment. Then I instructed her neck to release the anger it held through movement. Her entire neck and head began butting against a pillow and she was able to painlessly experience and vocalize her justifiable rage. After this single session, Jean reported more freedom of movement and considerable pain reduction. Most important is the freedom she now experiences in being strong, firm, and appropriate with expressing her needs and unwillingness to stay in unhealthy environments or relationships.

Another type of hypnotic movement is useful for repetitive strain injuries, like the infamous carpal tunnel syndrome. Because these injuries are the result of holding or moving the body in awkward positions for years rather than the results of a single trauma, the movement involved in healing is different. A variation of this technique can also be applied to any kind of joint pain- arthritis, rheumatism, etc. I first suggest that the clients body move into the position in which it first became “frozen.” For carpel tunnel, I may have the client’s wrist poise over an imaginary computer keyboard in just the way the stress injury was created. Then I hold the wrist stable in that position with my hands so the wrist can simply relax into that position. Intense crying may begin as the job-related stress is released. (One client reported: “I suddenly felt supported for the first time in that horrible job!”) Or the wrist may start pulsing, trembling, or turning very warm. All of these are positive signs that the somatic healing process is working. I’ll continue to hold the wrist in this position until all symptoms have subsided. Then I instruct the client’s wrist to stretch and twist out the pain in its own unique way. This circular stretching may involve muscles from the shoulder down to individual fingers. The therapist’s instructions must be general enough to allow the client’s body to move freely without limitations imposed by the therapist’s or the client’s preconceived notions of how it should look. Sometimes this vigorous stage of the stretch can include the expression of anger (often work-related) that is stored in the affected joint(s). Again, the body signals to the client when the process is complete.
