EQUILIBRIUM SELF-INTEGRATION PROCESSES (ESIP)

---

Today’s psychology incorporates both emotional and spiritual healing and goes beyond the intellectual resolution of challenges with conventional talk therapies. The terms “holistic” and “energy” and “spiritual” are often used to define these newer modalities. Equilibrium is such an all-encompassing series of processes, incorporating holistic, energetic and spiritual tools to treat the client as a “whole” being. Some of the processes incorporate the teachings of David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., creator of the Map of Consciousness, proponent of kinesiological testing, and celebrated author and teacher. Refer to the end of this book for a listing of his bestseller books (veritas.pub).

The end goal of Equilibrium is to integrate the ego and Higher Self into a functioning team, allowing the person to be in the world but not necessarily completely of the world, to allow the individual free movement between the inner and outer modes of existence. The ego becomes useful servant, not a controlling master.

Following is a brief description of each of the Equilibrium processes:

1. Self-state Inventory. How do you stack up against the desirable qualities inherent in the human potential to evolve? This process is based on the Map of Consciousness developed by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., to categorize the stages of human emotional and spiritual development from lower brain to higher brain states. His hope and sincere belief was that humankind was capable of this evolution to higher levels of awareness. 

2. Forgiveness.  Do you understand that forgiveness begins with you and only then you can forgive others? It is a liberating emotion and brings lightness to being in the world. Dr. Hawkins’ book, Letting Go, eloquently describes his forgiveness and releasing teachings.

3. Thought Analysis.  This process is a tool to help you pick out wisdom from information, positive thoughts from brain trash, and useful thinking vs. brain loops.

4.  Sticky Label Process. How many labels that you have put on yourself, or others have placed on you, can you shed? What is left after all labels are removed? Physical sticky labels are actually used to drive home the point.

5. Four Directions. This process addresses one’s 4 primary ages/states of being - birth and childhood, adulthood, old age, and death and transcendence. It reveals the purpose of one’s life thread and karmic inheritance. The road one has walked and is walking is revealed in the here and now. It is modeled on the design of the Native American Medicine Wheel.

6. The Ladder. On Dr. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, how do you rate yourself on the levels of consciousness? This is an exercise in self-evaluation, not judgment.

7. The Medicine Wheel. The four key challenges of one’s life are placed at the cardinal points on the medicine wheel and addressed. Positions are switched and the challenge addresses the person, with the person acting as the challenge. The dialog goes both ways with the client as the speaker for both sides. Being a challenge and being the perceived object of a challenge are neutralized. Life itself is the medicine wheel driving our Earth Walk.

8. Useful Memory. Obsessive and repetitive thoughts go round and round in our heads and create anxiety and stress. This is called the “monkey brain” syndrome. This process demonstrates how one can extract what is important or necessary out of a thought loop and release the rest.

9.  Heart of Compassion. Here the client listens to a series of questions recited by the processor, who is acting as the voice of the Higher Self. The client responds to each question and the resulting lesson is often that the client realizes his best and constant friend is his Higher Self - inner wisdom or truth.

10. The Last Three Days. Getting comfortable with the idea of one’s death seems undesirable to most, but what if you had only three days to live? How would you spend them? This exercise allows you to explore life’s end with creativity and courage using a method developed using PEAT.

11.  Aspect Analysis. Aspect analysis teaches the client about his/her strengths and weaknesses compared to commonly acceptable and desirable qualities of human evolution as developed by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. and helps the client begin to manifest them in daily life.

12. Role Playing. As our daily life unfolds, we find ourselves moving from one role to another, some social, some work-related, and others personal. Navigating them smoothly is often a challenge and this process helps the client navigate the role transitions with less stress.

When I calibrated these processes using muscle testing against David R. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, they were all in the 300-400 range. Note that anything over 200 calibrates at and beyond the level of integrity. You are welcome to muscle test them yourself if you are familiar with kinesiology.

Self-State Inventory - 340

Forgiveness Process - 394

Thought Analysis Process - 340

Sticky Label Process - 372

Four Directions Process - 393

The Ladder Process - 450

Medicine Wheel Process - 443

Useful Memory Process - 443

Heart of Compassion - 481

Last Three Days Process - 394

Aspect Analysis Process - 442

Role Playing Process - 405

Those processes dealing with mainly ego issues calibrate lower than those that touch on the spiritual evolution of the person. Heart of Compassion calibrates at 481, approaching 500, the level of love and understanding.
