Suma Varughese talks to Rita Somani, a PSYCH-K practitioner, who will be coming down to India with Bruce Lipton this month
Ever since I read Bruce Lipton’s, The Honeymoon Effect, and how PSYCH-K healed him of all his conditioning, like everyone else, I too have been eager to find and use this instant enlightenment bestower. Life Positive had written about PSYCH-K some time back, but at that point I had not yet been hit by the Lipton effect, and it was just another therapy for me. Subsequently, I learnt that someone had held a course on PSYCH-K, so I expected the market to be full of newly trained PSYCH-K practitioners, but that did not happen.
Recently though, I was introduced to Rita Soman, an Indian settled in the US and a bona fide PSYCH-K practitioner, who Bruce Lipton plans to bring down with him on his India tour in November.

Its founder Rob Williams, defines it thus: “PSYCH-K is a set of principles and processes designed to change subconscious beliefs that limit the expression of your full potential as a spiritual being having a human experience.” Further research reveals that PSYCH-K, uses a combination of kinesiology, Neuro Linguistic Programming, acupressure and Ericksonian hypnotherapy. All these have been around for ages so is there really anything special about PSYCH-K? PSYCH-K’s edge, by all accounts, is that it works faster and more comprehensively. Rita likens it to cleaning a house from the foundation upwards instead of fiddling with the décor.
Says Rob William, “Often the subconscious is like a mine-field of limiting beliefs and old outdated “programmes” that are no longer worthy of who you are becoming. These limiting subconscious beliefs affect your relationships, self-esteem, financial prosperity, career choices, even your health and fitness. PSYCH-K helps you clear a safe path through those “roadblocks” to a new place of expanded potential in every area of your life.”
Rita’s own journey seems to be a case in point. She was locked in an abusive marriage with an alcoholic for six years before she had the strength to leave him. She later met and married an American and settled in the States. Unfortunately, the low self-esteem, and other self-sabotaging patterns were still active, and caused discord between her and her husband. “My second husband was very loving and supportive, and despite this, I couldn’t handle his love and caring for me.”
She turned to God and prayed for healing to come to her. The very next day, a friend told her about Bruce Lipton and his book, The Biology of Belief. When she read about PSYCH-K she went on the Net and what she read there gave her goose bumps, she says. She joined up for a two-day course. Gradually, she found that shifts were happening within her. Today, she claims to experience total freedom and to have fully healed her self-esteem issues as well as the trauma of her past. “My journey has been riddled with challenges and pain, but I have crossed the Rubicon, and it feels fantastic!” she exults.
She says, “When I joined PSYCH-K, my goal was to create financial freedom and freedom of time. I had three offices and I was making about $35,000, but after paying all my bills I only had about $ 2,000 in my hand. Now I am there already. My recipe is that the more I enjoy and the more I have fun, the more easily money flows into my life.”
Rita also talks a great deal about the inner child, who has been hurt and damaged by many programmings. She says that when we programme new messages into the subconscious we need to communicate in a way that the inner child gets it – through visuals, through ideas that capture the imagination, and so on.
When it comes to money, she suggests having fun with it in a way that would excite the inner child. She recalls, “When I travel to promote my workshops, I keep two days aside for sightseeing. This is to make my little inner child happy. One time I went to Hawaii to hold a workshop and nobody had signed up for the introductory lecture. I was disappointed. My assistant was with me. So I thought maybe this time, God wants me to play. So we went out that day and had lots of fun. And when we came back, 27 people came for the lecture and everybody signed up for the workshop. And when we came back to our hotel, we were so excited and happy, that the lady who ran the hotel said, ‘You look so happy, I feel like offering you the Penthouse for free! She gave us the Penthouse for seven days. I taught my workshop there and I cooked food there, and we had such a wonderful time. This was when I realized that if you play, you prosper.”
