My intention

We live in challenging times. You all know the list probably only too well: a crumbling economy, an environment on the brink of global disaster, a political system that seems incapable to respond to our needs, and a war abroad that seems without end. What happened in Haiti only shone another recent spotlight onto more unnecessary human suffering in the world.

We can only face and overcome these challenges if we all, each and everyone of us, step up onto a higher level of our human potential. This potential exists in all of us, but it is buried under our own inner limitations. Under fear, helplessness, disappointment, lack of time, clarity, energy and resolve, under illnesses, depression and personal conflicts... here too the list goes on. For all I know our very survival may depend on our capability to find access to these limitations and effectively release them - as a community, as a country and as human beings on this planet. That is what I want to contribute to. You may want to call it liberation. So, I have created this free monthly event not only to support our community from within, but to facilitate liberation. My intention is to create a greater awareness of the potnetial and possibilities of cellular healing in general and to offer The Journey specifically as a most powerful tool to initiate change, healing and yes, liberation in the lives of large groups people on an ongoing basis.

I also hope this event will radiate out and inspire participants to pass information about the Journey on to schools, hospitals, prisons, businesses and even the government... Obviously as a single person this is not something I can ever do alone, so I am envisioning that more people with an interest in healing work will catch the spark and decide to participate in the full Journey program and become Accredited Journey Practitioners, so that we can have an active and flourishing Journey community here in the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires.

What can I expect?

How much you will get out of the Journey process depends on many factors.

You may experience anything from a transformation that profoundly changes your life, a gentle healing that makes a difference in the way your body feels, an opening in a situation you have felt stuck in, to at the other end of the spectrum, a slight frustration because you encountered some resistance, distraction or sleepyness that kept you from following the process fully.

If you are familiar with other forms of inner work, especially guided imagery or guided meditations, then the journey would generally be more powerful right from the start. If you are open to experiencing the more hidden layers of your being, and especially the emotions you may have tended to stuff down in the past, that too would enhance the process.

In this program I am facilitating the Journey as a group process, and for that reason I need to keep it to a very general format, but that format does include the core pieces that can create an amazingly fast transformation. Some of those bigger changes participants experience you can read about in the testemonials below.

If this kind of inner work is new for you, keep coming back, the Journey process becomes more powerful every time you do it. Think of it as a workout for your soul. The more often you do it, the stronger your soul becomes, the more clearly you recognize your own truth, and the more deeply your body heals.

Testimonials

Here are some responses from the participants:


June Participants:


"Upon the drive home last night, I felt such immense GRATITUDE for YOU !
Am often a bit foggy after a healing session, and so, may not have conveyed to you my deep appreciation.
Particularly that you extended your generosity into the sharing of your home!
THANK YOU!"

"I feel a great deal of relieve, now I have hope and trust that by practicing your technic I will feel better and better. [...] I feel that the work you have done with me has been very effective."

"I was totally in awe of the process.
[Afterward] I felt more relaxed and tired at the same time."

"Slowly I notice other changes, like I feel more inclined to eat healthy foods.
The anger is becoming less. I also feel some emotional and physical detox.
I feel notoriously PEACEFUL and can see the fear is also going away."


May Participants:


"Some anger I had is gone. I'm eating lighter. And my allergy to the pollen is less."

"Dear Tomma - so many, many thanks for introducing this process - Your technique, your voice lead a very profound experience for me. I slept differently and feel slightly euphoric for no reason. I believe I have been lead to the work I am ready for - to learn, release and forgive."

"I feel there are many shifts in my life, some of which haven't manifested yet. Some changes are subtle some more intense. My eating habits have somewhat improved and since this is a major issue for me any shift is good! And yes, I have more patience, especially for my partner."

"I worked on my throat. The tension in there has been much better."


April Participants:


"Thank you for today Tomma. I am so impressed and grateful that you are offering these sessions for the community every month. Your knowledge of cellular healing and clear teaching, your grace, wisdom and kind, gentle way made the "journey" accessible for this traveler to encounter the next step toward emotional insight and healing."

"[I] went to my chest [...]. As I focused there, I could hardly breathe, it felt like cob webs clouding me. After we fixed our physical areas, I didn't visualize the fix so much, as I did FEEL it. My breathing was clear again, and my chest did not feel webbed at all !"

"Since I read Brandon Bays' book, I have wanted to do some journeying. This event allowed me to experience her work in a safe setting. Tomma's knowledge made some very difficult scientific principles easy to understand, and her guided imagery technique was exemplary. Now I know this process is a unique tool for my personal growth and healing. Thank you!"

"My experience was much different this time. It felt more at ease. I was able to visualize the imagery better. And I had a good, strong journey. The event expands my mind and awareness each and every time!"

"The most valuable part of the whole Journey experience was a strong addition to my tool kit for health and well being."

"This was my most successful Journey yet. I was surprised how much lighter I felt afterwards. Lighter and more carefree somehow, as if all the problems really didn't matter any more."

"I think the presentation was extremely effective in teaching me what "The Journey" is and in giving me an opportunity to experience it in a simple, informal setting, without having to pay for an entire weekend workshop. You clearly know the process well and are enthusiastic about it, as well as articulate in explaining it. I came away with an understanding as well as a list of additional resources I could investigate if I wanted more information, and a guided process I could reuse at home to continue my own inner exploration. I think this accomplishes everything you set out to accomplish in the overview."



March Participants:


"Honestly, I thought the introduction was terrific. you have a lovely, caring presence and spoke intelligently about this new esoteric science in a way that encouraged me to have trust in you. It was a good overview of an approach to healing that I imagine many people haven't heard of [...]. I'd recommend the event for these reasons."

"It was a TREMENDOUS GIFT & HONOR to attend your offering Tomma ! ! ! ! !
Regardless of my limited concentration, I did get to a place where I had quite a surprise! I had gone to the healing with an understanding that forgivness of something, or someone was a big part of it. And I've got lots of work to do regarding forgiving my step mother. I went prepared to do that, and as I held her image infront of me during the process, to my surprise, suddenly my step mother's image turned into my father's image.
I've had two strong epiphany's since then.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TOMMA ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

"I really like the fact that so many people came on a Sunday afternoon in a small town to learn about this. [...] As for the Journey itself, I believe it is a useful and beneficial tool, especially for someone who has never done this kind of inner work. Having such a detailed process [with] so many explicit steps [...] helps people who have trouble visualizing or "freefalling" into their own psyches and souls, and puts a context around the information they get when they're "in there"."

"A factual blend of quantum physics and psychological research, this work intrigues me and makes me want to know more."

"[Afterwards] I wanted to be quiet and consider my experience. I felt emotional and a little sad. It was a cold, rainy day, usually I walk in the afternoon, but I went home and got into bed and wrote all that I experienced and was feeling. [...] I'm not sure how to explain this except to say that there is a shift"



February Participants:

"Thanks very much for giving this kind of presentation/workshop to the community, and for your time and energy. It is a wonderful thing you are doing. I was fascinated by all the information you gave in the intro, much of which I had not known before. It all makes perfect sense, and as I listened, a lot of it seemed like "ah, this all comes together now"! [...] I had a difficult time "getting there" with the journey process, but I am not discouraged and hope to use what you've taught me to "practice" a bit on my own, and I really look forward to attending another event next month. I'm really a believer in this kind of work, and I know it will be beneficial to me."

"I found a painful memory of myself as a 1 1/2 year old. At some point in the journey you said something like look down at your legs and feet and I had a real bodily memory of my 1 1/2 year old self that was really cool. Since then I have felt a real connection with that little being who wants to be held and I have been holding her and enjoying her vibrant energy. Really a very happy feeling...
Thanks again for offering this event. The whole journey process feels very deep but also very playful. "

"If for no other reason than learning that this sort of healing is possible in the world, I would rcommend that people go.
But there was more to it than that for me. I prayed a great deal about going to this event. I prayed to have protection and support with me and also I prayed to have courage to truly face what I might find both in the event itself and whatever blockages I might have. In fact, I prayed more than I have for a long time. That in and of itself was good.
I had only a general idea about what to expect and that was from the Free Soul website. Actually I did not want too much information ahead of time. I had met Tomma in a different context and who she is and how open and free and non-judgmental her invitation to me was made me feel that I could just go to see for myself. I felt that I need not prepare myself for this first experience with the journey. I was right. What I had not and could not have known was how freeing the experience of giving and receiving forgiveness in this way would be."

"Tomma, I must say [...] you did a wonderful, informative & thorough job in the presentation of cellular healing. Im a bit familiar with the subject as I'm open to new/old healing & life lessons & read various books of this & other related subject matter. I just tought you covered the cellular healing topic so professionally. What better a subject to indulge in during these uncertain, stressfull times. What a treat to have participated. Looking forward to your next event. :) Thank You!"

"Immediately after the session I felt more clear around my eyes and forehead and my arms hung more freely at my sides. Also the freeing feeling of having truly forgiven another and myself for a particular occurrence that had happened so long ago was very strong. By the time I came home I had grown very tired and went to bed early in the evening. This session has given me a new look at my potential health and has shown me that there could be a way to get back to and forward to my true self. I feel something in myself wanting to sabotage my new beginning. I still feel quite locked up."



January Participants:

"Thank you so much for holding these Journeys. I will bring what I learned here into my life to help free myself from negativity and deepen my experience of my Self. I appreciate what you are doing here."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you a hundred, thousand times thank you. I had a great release of sadness and anger yesterday. I have been mourning the loss of a relationship for a few months and have been carrying resentment, fear of the unknown, sadness and a big broken heart. Yesterdays process showed me that I am perfect in all ways and that people come and go."

"You have a very gentle loving manner and way of leading participants into their process and you definitely create a very supportive and safe environment for change and insight."

"My journey was intense and, I think, very valuable. [...] I managed to free up some very stuck places in my life.
I have been needing to go out and get a "real job" for some time now. My finances are such a disaster you couldn't imagine.
In the journey, I faced the day my father died [...], and the simultaneous abandonment that I experienced from my mother. I have not been able to do a good job of managing things ever since then. I was a very conscientious student all through school, first in my class, etc. After my father's death, I couldn't make myself be responsible, I just couldn't. It was like I had burned out, having used all of my responsible conscientiousness up. I have been unable to be organized, meet deadlines, handle paperwork efficiently, and generally do the things that a "grown up" needs to do.
I discovered that a part of me has been waiting around for a "parent" to show up and care enough to not let me fall down.
Yesterday I finished my resume, went to the workforce office and got some guidance, signed up for some classes, etc. Today I submitted my resume to several jobs online, and I already have two interviews lined up for the next two days.
I have known for a long time that I have needed to do this, but literally could not access the energy to do any of it. It's as if the clouds parted, and I can take care of me now.
Thank you so much. Thank you from the bottom of my being. You very well may have saved my life, my future, and my kids respect for me."

"I felt more whole, on the inside.
I am kinder to myself, and more forgiving.
I have been more tired, and seem to be digesting food more quickly."

"I felt blessed that I had the opportunity to do a group journey process on Sunday. I found the time very rewarding. During my Journey I gave back to my mother what I took on as a child that is being responsible for her feelings and situation in life. I did this so much as a child that there was no room for me or at least I beleived that. I now see more clearly that the adult me needs to be there to protect, love and appreciate the younger me and with this connection I can be truly happy. Thanks for being part of my personal growth. The journey never ends and that is a good thing."



December Participants:

"Tomma, I think you are such a skilled, warm guide and teacher. Your demonstration of what the Journey is and where it can lead was truly illuminating. I really see what a difference this practice could make in my life!"

"I honor you for offering the work and admire your passion [...]"

"Tomma led us in The Journey process with a clear, warm and compassionate presence that felt very safe. My body became a deep, mysterious and uncharted place that I could look right into know so much better if I would become more present to it in this way, trusting what I meet there as the embodiment of my experiences. The boundaries between mind, body and soul blurred and it all became one. I can see that we have the ability to effect what we meet in ourselves through such an inward journey... Everything we meet there is us--our truth--and if we really want to, we can own, honor and change it. We have that power."

"I want to thank you for hosting this wonderful healing event. You are doing something soooo super powerful here. There was a peaceful and positive vibe to the space.[...]"

"I think I am shedding flesh from my waist, (yay!), I need less food and my eyesight might be better."

"I would just like to truly thank you for the journey! What a wonderful opportunity!
I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I immediately noticed a difference in the way I reacted to the emotionally challenging experience the journey took me to. This negative experience had dominated my thoughts and would bring up really negative uncontrollable emotions for me on a daily basis. Since the journey I have a more accepting outlook on what happened and am able to move on from it. I am not being held down by the past [...] and my breathing patterns have been healthier."

"I feel free to choose, and am choosing, absolutely different ways to react, taking them less personally, moving faster back to stability and equilibrium."
