WHEE  FOR PAIN

WHEE for post-surgical pain

Daniel Benor and I were attending a meeting of the Council for Healing and participating in a mini vision-quest that involved a mountain hike. Dan noticed that I was limping and asked if I would like to get rid of the pain. (A couple years ago while windsurfing, I tore all three of my hamstring muscles from my ischial tuberosity. The hamstrings were reattached to the bone by molly bolts that become tender and painful upon exertion and cause me to limp.)

I responded, “That would be great,” but thinking to myself, “I’ve had this problem for 2 years. It’s ludicrous to hope it will disappear.” Dan then asked me to get in touch with what my leg was trying to tell me. I could hear my leg respond, “I hurt and feel constricted and tight.” Dan said, “Fine, now repeat out loud, “Even though my leg hurts and feels tight and constricted, I love and accept myself, wholly and completely, and I know that God loves and accepts me wholly and completely.”

I felt rather silly at first, walking through the woods repeating this affirmation out loud, but after each repetition, Dan would ask me to assess the pain level on a scale of 1 to 10. I first assessed my pain at a level 6, but after repeating the phrase several times, the perceived pain level decreased to a 4, then to a 2. After about 20 minutes, the pain was completely gone!

One might attribute such an occurrence to a “mountain high,” a fluke interaction, or the intervention of some gnome in the forest. However, this pain has never reoccurred with the intensity that it had previously manifested. Dan taught me to listen to my body more carefully and to notice when it begins to feel uncomfortable. “This way,” he said, “your body won’t have to start screaming with pain to get your attention.”

So now when I begin to “feel” my leg “whisper” that it is “uncomfortable,” I simply pay attention to it and repeat to myself, “Even though my leg feels uncomfortable, I love and accept myself wholly and completely and I know that God loves and accepts me wholly and completely.” With one or two repetitions of this phrase, the discomfort is gone and my leg feels fine.

I’ve used the WHEE technique for other problems and challenges, and it is one of the easiest and most effective self-care practices that I have found.

WHEE for neck and shoulder pain

Having had the opportunity to be both a host and participant of Dan Benor’s WHEE workshop, I have not only witnessed but also experienced personally the immediate and profound effects of this simple procedure.

My personal tale involves a stubborn pain in the neck and shoulder, which had been recently triggered by homeopathic treatment for a series of whiplashes experienced 10-18 years prior. As an energy worker, intuitive and student of psychology I was well aware of the root psychic cause of this physical distress and had been consciously, albeit intermittently, attending to it over the previous 2-3 months; knowing and respecting my body’s own timing, I fully expected my recovery to be further drawn out until the necessary life changes were in place. I literally had NO expectation of an overnight recovery.

Much to my absolute amazement … by mid afternoon the day following my learning and applying WHEE for my shoulder pain in an evening workshop, I discovered myself to be completely free of pain! I have remained pain free ever since (6 weeks) and have not stopped spreading the word!

Needless to say, I highly recommend the WHEE experience to anyone who would like to change anything in their life; it’s that accessible and universal. Dan’s personable approach, warmth and deep compassion creates a trust-filled and loving space enabling participants to work as deeply as they dare to go! Thank you Dan for this wonderful gift!

Dear Dan,

Thank you so much for following up with the Sept 14 meeting.  I was truly blessed by your presence and in particular your work. I was amazed after just 10 minutes of going through the WHEE technique with you that there was such a dramatic difference. 

Two separate incidents turned up almost immediately where my claustrophobia was tested and I just could not enter that reflexive mental state nor could I even entertain panicking. Boxed in for an 11 hour flight to England and not even a worry!  Entering an elevator and not being able to find the anxieties I used to suffer!

Fabulous!

Everyone you share this technique with has a remarkable tool for life.

Amy

I really want to thank you for giving me this tool to use. You've shown me a way to access my own inner strength and inner being easily and effortlessly to deal with my phobia, and even my every-day kind of stresses.  
 
With love and gratitude,

I have always been a shower singer. Yet, because of an abusive, oppressive childhood, my voice was seriously suppressed. Consequently, I have suffered from an overwhelming fear of singing in front of others.
 
I am estatic to report that since using your WHEE method, I've had my first singing debut this Thanksgiving Dinner in front of twelve of my closest friends. I am currently singing in front of friends and  strangers alike during local open mic nights.
 
The simplistic genius of your method is that I can use WHEE on my own any time I experience the slightest degree of any other fears or anxieties too.

General usefulness of WHEE

Dear Dan,
   Yes, I have used WHEE a lot since learning it in one of your phone seminars. It's an amazing technique. I've used it to help the bereaved, and also in my life for getting rid of impending flu, dealing with tiredness, anger, anxiety, fear, and any other negative emotions that crop up from time to time. I'd love to do a Level 1 Certificate. If there's a chance you'd like to do one up in the Northwest sometime, that would be wonderful. I did want to write and tell you what a gift and revelation the practice has been for me.

All the best,

Rondi Lightmark

I used to use EFT, but I'm trained as an acupuncturist and was skeptic about the EFT protocol explanation. (To effectively stimulate the acupuncture points, the points need to be given greater pressure and accuracy than what EFT requires). I believe that another (unknown to me) principle is involved making EFT effective.

I had been in therapy for PTSD and EMDR broke through the wall. I noted the similarity in results between EMDR and EFT, but EFT is more effective. I searched the web for any relationship between EMDR and EFT and found your website. I am really, really grateful that you are sharing your discovery freely on the web.

WHEE I find to be more effective than EFT.

I'm not a therapist but use WHEE in my informal practice and I have found it to be absolutely marvelous.  It is readily accepted by teens and children, unlike EFT. It seems to have less reversals than EFT.  I often do surrogate WHEE in the patient's presence if the patient is too emotional to do it (with permission of course).

I cured a patient’s migraines in just 5 minutes of WHEE! I have helped patients easily overcome mental blocks, phobias. My mother, 87 years old with a phobia (terror) of heights and mountain roads was cured in one session; she had this since she was a small child. She also overcame leg cramps that she was being medicated for in just one session.

Elderly patients have difficulty recalling the EFT protocol have no difficulty recalling the WHEE technique.

WHEE is destined to make conventional therapy obsolete.

Sincerely,

Stephen Coleman

Relieving post-traumatic distress with WHEE

Dear Dan,

I am continually amazed with the results of the WHEE session you did with me in Phoenix. Every time I revisit the event of losing my beautiful home - I see it as a beautiful memory forever filed in my consciousness as an achievement, to have known, felt and experienced.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.  I see this a powerful technique to offer... I see you unfolding in your new career life as a blessing to all.  

In the Light of Spirit,

Mary

Hello Dan,

I very much enjoyed and found extremely valuable the workshop with you and my fellow participants. 

Items that stand out for me include:
The technique itself is brilliant in its simplicity.
Many opportunities to try a spectrum of variations on the theme of WHEE during the day-long experiential workshop.
Your very soothing and calm demeanor
Ample time for sharing personal experience,  and discussion of the breadth of applicability.

I came to the workshop with a personal history of anxiety and trauma and a clientele who is similarly affected.

I want to share with you that a quality I have chosen to cultivate in my life this year is 'ease'.  I remind myself of this intention daily and I have been working with my own trauma for the past year or so.  Starting with Peter Levine's work, shamanism (specifically soul retrieval), EFT and now WHEE, I believe I am manifesting more ease in my life.  I thank you for developing and sharing such a powerful and simple tool. 
 
I'll admit to personally and currently using WHEE expediently to 'turn down the volume' on many of the issues clamoring for my energy.  In other words, my approach has been much less than systematic and often in the car rather than with my journal in front of me. It occurs to me as I write this that a prevailing feeling of overwhelm is probably the very next thing that would be wise for me to address with WHEE, and perhaps use that issue as the first from a systematic and structured approach. 

In summary, I would say the WHEE workshop was well worth the time and money spent
 
I am very interested in ongoing monthly phone calls on the uses of WHEE.  Please let me know the details. 
 
All the best,
 
Annie

Greetings,

I am a 2nd year psychiatry resident at the University of Arizona who recently attended the Association for Transpersonal Psychology Conference in Palo Alto, California.  The conference was replete with intriguing  talks and informative workshops, the most interesting of which, for me, was Dr. Benor’s demonstration of WHEE.  My motivation for attending this workshop was both personal and professional: being rooted in the desire to learn a technique that would help patients efficiently and effectively and to apply that technique to areas of persistent, personal emotional baggage. Since adolescence I had suffered from performance  and public speaking anxiety.  Subsequent analysis,  self psychological and spiritual exploration provided insight into the cause/condition of this disorder, but failed to relieve the burden. Specifically, one particular botched speech in the 7th grade served as the focus upon which my insecurities would revolve and unfortunately evolve, acquiring an energy of their own. Prior to this trauma,  I had been a confident kid, the year before playing a lead in the school play  It was this incident that Dr. Benor and I worked on during the workshop.   Although I still struggle in part from these anxieties, my experience with Dr. Benor and WHEE, and continuing  practice has dramatically lessened their impact on my life.  I am confident that with continued practice, all intra- and interpersonal dissonance can be permanently released.   What follows is a personal experience post workshop and answer from Dr. Benor about a posed question.  My hope in sharing this is that someone else, somehow will benefit.

Derek

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dr. Benor

Again, thanks for the workshop you put on at the ATP/ITP conference.  I had an extremely interesting occurrence happen yesterday afternoon which I hope you will enjoy hearing about.  After the conference I flew home to be with family in Kansas City.  My sister, mother and I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood.  When we approached Brookridge Elementary School, both my sister and mother became obsessed with the idea of touring the building.  Initially I felt restriction in my body, as this was the elementary school where a lot of my "seeds of insecurity" were born.  Anyway, there insistence won over and I was forced into a position of surrender.  The exploration was profoundly rewarding.  At one point I found myself on the stage of the auditorium where I had played a lead role confidently in our 6th grade musical, (before the speaking blunder in 7th grade).  I felt calm and comfortable on stage looking out over an empty gym as earlier feelings of playfulness and life-zest returned. The absurdity of ever loosing this perspective - playful confidence - made me laugh at all the past miseries associated with lack of confidence in the speaking arena.

So what a coincidence!  My question is thus:  Does the 4d world of time/perception correspond or accommodate to healing intention?  It certainly felt this way for me.  It was as if something in the WHEE session triggered this sequence of events to unfold.  The experience(s) provided tons of emotional release.  I look forward to hearing your comments and to continuing to experience in new ways those parts of my mind/perceptual world that were once frightening.

Very Best

Derek

My name is Kathryn Morrow and on Feb. 15th I was blessed to have Dr. Dan Benor on my show, Tomorrows health @ www.healthylife.net.  We used me as an example of his Whee technique. I had an abusive dental experience 8 years prior to my meeting Dr. Benor. There was a lot of pain on an emotional & physical level. Also, I felt very let down by the Dental Community.

Dr. Benor and I used this situation as an example for his Whee technique. Throughout the years I have been releasing this situation prior to my WHEE experience. But as I learned today there was still some more letting go that was needed to be done. We said an affirmation together while my body was positioned and moved in a certain way. I instantly felt a huge release of what I still had been holding onto.

I have continued each day to use the Whee technique with great results.  This technique has enabled me to open the door to a new spiritual healer who is helping me release the physical toxins from my mouth. The WHEE technique enabled me to finally let go of the emotional pain, a pain I still was carrying. This new open space now is filled with love and light which hopefully has made room for a complete healing.

Thank you and bless you Dr. Dan!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Dan and Martina,

Thank you so very much for your gentle and inspiring seminar.

You have greatly encouraged me to do the things that I know work, and enjoy doing, but have been a bit reluctant to use because they are a bit out there!
In particular, thank you for the gift of WHEE, which I have used many times in the last week, with amazing results.

One lady in particular rang me from her town about an hour away. She was very distressed about issues related to childhood abuse. I instructed her in the technique, which she performed there and then, and she started to cry, which she had never been able to do. She came today to tell me that she feels heaps better!

All this week the many patients I see with anxiety disorders have been amazed and delighted with the results we have been getting.

Thank you again.

Kindest regards,

Dr. Ann Miller (General Practitioner, Australia)

Hi  Deb,

Many thanks for the feedback on your experiences with your clients, and thanks for permission to include these on my WHEE appreciations page. I will remove all gender and other specific identifying details
 
Dan,
I've been meaning to update you on my experience with WHEE and several clients. Overall, it has been well received and very effective.  In situations where things have not progressed, I have worked as you suggested with tweaking the various steps.
 
Here are some examples of  recent cases:

PTSD for [middle aged person] who discovered his/her [spouse’s] body  at home after s/he committed suicide.  S/he states that now s/he can go to  sleep at night and the images are not there.
 
Migraine relief in a [middle aged person] who stated "this really helped me break a cycle I had  been in with migraines."
 
Many thanks!  Looking forward  to joining a supervision group if you start one....

I’ve been meaning to email you for some time …
 
I took your introductory teleconference for learning WHEE several months ago.  (I’m a HOLOS student, and am interested in different modalities.)  I wanted to tell you how I’ve been using it.

During my morning meditations, I often focus on a spiritual principle, stated as an affirmation for my life --- e.g., “I am fully aligned with my soul’s purpose.”  After the teleconference, I started using WHEE at the beginning of my meditations.  It works wonderfully because it gets me focused more quickly (and fully) on the principle.  Then, I can allow for whatever comes up in relation to it.
 
I didn’t know if you’d seen this application of WHEE, so thought I’d share it with you.  I’ve appreciated using the process. Thanks.

Rondi -

I just spent the last half hour using this WHEE technique for a whole string of thoughts that have been deeply troubling, and it is amazing. It is giving me so much relief, and I'm able to feel relaxed and at ease, which I haven't been able to do for months. Thank you so much for sending it today.  I love you,

Jan

I can report that almost all the folks I've had opportunity to teach it to actually USE IT because of it's ease, unobtrusiveness, and effectiveness--very different than other techniques which work fine, but no one uses them because they can't get off alone and find 15-20 minutes to do them, so they just don't bother.�

Dan, I have had incredible success with WHEE personally.  I use if often. What I am noticing over a prolonged period that I am overall a lot more calm.  I was talking to my friend Libby last night trying to figure out why I am not getting so upset these days about things.  I really think it is because I use WHEE almost everyday even when I get upset just a little.  It is excellent for anxiety management and to reduce stress.

Here is an example of a time when I would have blown a gasket in the past. Over the last couple of months I have been working on a paper for school. While I was working on it I went to the end of my document to reference an endnote. I realized in my transferring the document to a new file I lost the whole reference page.  This page included all of the page numbers and specific books and papers that my quotes came from in the paper. The amazing thing is that I had little or no reaction when it actually registered that I lost that whole page. It meant that I would have to spend several hours going back through all of the books and papers to find the quotes again. In the past I would have had a reaction resembling a melt down. This time I remained calm and took it as an indication that I must have missed something that the Universe wanted me to write about. It was great. I  attribute the non-reaction to the continued use of WHEE over an extended period of time.

Thanks Dan for teaching me this process.

Dear Dan Benor

I recently joined the Scientific and Medical Network and discovered your website, since when I have been reading with great interest your book on Spiritual Healing research. I have not only appreciated the breadth of findings and the clarity of their presentation, but also the particularly illuminating perspective of someone who can approach healing both with the objectivity of a scientist, and the subjective insight of a practitioner.

Many thanks for making such material available - I am sure it will have a wide influence.

With many thanks for your time,

Yours

Jacquie

Dear Dr. Benor,

Just a note to tell you I love your website! I am an RN, Reiki Master, Healing Artist, Ordained Minister. Can you tell that I am trying to be taken seriously as a complementary/spiritual healer with that list behind my name? I just returned to school at … years old, to try and obtain my BSN so that I can meet one of the requirements that the American Holistic Nurses Association has for credentialing as a healer.

I will be using your website as a reference while writing papers for school and perhaps even on my own website and I have clicked on your donation button to help out a little.

I would also like to put your website as a link on my website...OK with you?

Thank you for sharing your work.

Love and Joy,

HEALING RESOURCE CONSULTATIONS

Thank you for these [books] referrals. I have briefly looked over them and they are great resources for what I am looking for. Reading the list of symptoms of ... made me want to cry. There are people out there who do understand. Thanks.

I read some of your articles and just reading them healed me a bit. This whole thing has been traumatic and yet I am not alone in my experiences. Words are not adequate to describe these experiences of perception, and yet we try, don't we?

You're a good pointer, Dr. :)

Journal Appreciations

The journal is terrific - a real lifeline for people like me who are working very far "from the madding crowd" and very isolated profesionally from the wisdoma and cutting edge science that is the hallmark of your journal. I have introduced it to some of my colleagues whom I consider fellow travellers, so expect some more subscriptions soon.

Keep up the wonderful work.

Dan,

Boy, those are some kind of articles.

I had the honor of meeting Gilah about 12 yrs ago at a meeting. She seemed "advanced" then--certainly more so now.

And the other articles are none short of amazing.

Keep up good work.

Blessings,

Jim Bell

Hi Dan,

It has taken me a long time to take you up on your kind offer to subscribe to the journal as a contributor, but well worth the wait.  My preference was to do so when I had time to really savour it.  I think that presentation of our article is aesthetically attractive, and I thank you for your work.  I think that the whole Journal of Healing and Caring is most impressive.  Congratulations on your accomplishment of excellence!
 
Overall, I found your journal to be very professional and most informative!  The other contributors were of highest caliber.  Again, it was my honour to be included. 

I thank you for this most important and powerful contribution to the field of spiritual healing and energy medicine with the IJHC journal.”

Editorial Assistance Appreciations

Dan,

I had never written an article for any journal when I was encouraged by Dr. Dan Benor to "try it." Dr. Benor provided me with very patient and encouraging editing, displaying the utmost in tolerance and expert guidance. I am very happy that my first writing experience was with Dr. Benor. I can't imagine that many others would have been so lovingly patient.

James R. Bell, M.D.

Dear Dan,

I received the final copy of my paper last night, haven't had the opportunity to thoroughly read it yet, but it looks really good. I want to take this time to thank you once more for providing me with a valuable learning opportunity. At times, I felt frustrated with myself because I was so unfamiliar with the process of on-line publishing. But, then I realized that this is what learning is all about. When I decide to undertake a similiar endeavor, I will always remember what I learned from you about the process.

Dan Benor was a terrific speaker. He gave two talks at our Reiki Holistic Healing conference. The keynote talk focused on the scientific studies presented in his book. He used many excellent cartoons, to both lighten the talk with humor and illustrate key points in a memorable way.

His more personal talk on techniques to improve healing skills was excellent, and invoked lots of discussion.
Dan was very comfortable talking to people of very different levels of information, for both presentation and fielding questions. As a conference keynoter, his flexibility and his professionalism was much appreciated.

Dear Daniel,

Thank you, thank you for your wonderful presentation to the Institute of Noetic Sciences Community Group on Friday night. I was amazed at our turn out - more new people than ever - and, from what I heard and the calls I received - people were excited that it was YOU who was going to speak. From the reaction of those present after your presentation, everyone loved it. To say you shared wonderful and eye-opening material is an understatement.

Your presentation - light, fun, serious, informative, and stimulating, all rolled into one - was really well received. You certainly had your audience in the palm of your hand, and I, for one, will be anxious to maintain contact with you, to get on your web site and sign up for your newsletter. I know there are several others who will be doing the same.

I hope that we will be able to work out a way that you can get back to Tucson in the not too distant future to do a workshop - I will be delighted to try and facilitate that with you and your other contacts here.

So, again, thank you, thank you, for providing us with such great information!

Hi Dan,

Your elegance at putting this information into words was so profound that I would love to provide this tape for viewing by not only my interested friends, but by the chiropractic students at the college I work. Your slides were very helpful in your presentation, Keep up the enlightening work. I am really happy that you are bringing this information out in such an easily accessible and understandable form.

Dear Dan,

This is Monica, from the Sunday afternoon workshop. Your workshop was an important experience for me, on the inspirational level and the learning, professional level. The message came from your knowledge but also clearly from the person that you are and shared with us.

Thank you from my heart.

"An impressive bibliography list."

PSYCHOTHERAPY

Dear Dan :

As I write this, my eyes are brimming with tears. I cannot believe that a young soul such as myself, who lived in a world of depression, anxiety, and mild Asperger's is now living and thriving everyday. I was a young adult in crisis, who had no idea how to make sense of the world around her emotionally and socially. This went on until my late 20s. It took a toll on my life and those of my family.  But the Universe sent me the most amazing psychiatrist and healer I could ever have asked her.

You were able help me piece together the chaos and confusion in my mind  that no other psychiatrist before was able to do for me. You didn't give me a "label" or "diagnosis" as most physicians do, you gave me back my humanity and worked with my strengths and gifts. Now I am on the path to becoming a strong, confident, and productive young women.

Dan, you are one of the greatest blessings that have ever happened to me. I am forever indebted to you for where I am today. May you continue to be a blessing to others as you have been to me.

With much love always,

Dear Dr. Benor,

I want to thank you for keeping me sane during a very dark period of my life. I could not have done it without you.

Thank you!

Dr. Benor,

How can I thank you? You see when I asked you the question about my hands heating up at Hospice, it had not occurred to me that my hands were speaking to me. I have recieved an email from Hospice, inviting me to take a training class, so I can work directly with the patients. Your letter made me realise my calling. I do not believe in chance, all happens for a reason. If not for your letter, and the program on Art Bell, I may have passed up this chance to further help those in need.

Thank you so much. I will continue to sing your praises. I have passed on your website to many of my friends.

Many Blessings to you....
