METHOD OF LEVELS THERAPY:
Helping the normal change process within a person when normal change doesn’t seem to be happening by itself.
David M. Goldstein, PhD

This in-depth study demonstrates the value of single-case research, as well as confirming the value of the particular method that was studied.
    “Method of Levels (MOL) Therapy is described and applied to the case of a woman whose husband died.  MOL Therapy is derived from Perceptual Control Theory. Session to session changes within the woman were quantified by means of Q Methodology and Personal Construct  analyses. MOL Therapy identifies the important conditions for therapy change to occur. The case study results were supportive of the ideas of MOL Therapy.”

ESSENCE OF HEALING:
Vibrational infusion of flower essences
Rev. Karin Cremasco, BEd, PhD, ThD, CCI

“Vibrational Infusion^© is a method that uses intention to receive the benefits of flower essences (such as Andrea Mathieson’s Raven Essences) without ingesting them.” After developing and using this method for several years, Karin Cremasco found she could also teach others to use this vibrational essence method.
    Cremasco and Mathieson developed what is essentially a franchising agreement, where Cremasco and her students pay Mathieson, the originator of the essences, a fee for the vibrational use of the essences. I am particularly intrigued by the spiritual nature of this agreement, which I believe others can learn from.
