Having a bad habit is a bit like being stuck in the mud…in your car. You try to get out on your own. You spin your wheels. But ultimately what you need is a good push.
CMR—or cellular memory release—can be that push.
CMR is an exciting new methodology that is helping people throughout the world experience deep healing on three levels: emotional, mental, and physical. With proper commitment, it can be a great way to identify, understand, and transform the unconscious beliefs and feelings that underlie many of our self-destructive habits and behaviors. It’s also easy to learn and—once you learn it—something you can practice on your own for the rest of your life.
Unlike traditional psychotherapy, CMR happens primarily through the body, where CMR Practitioners believe we store the negative effects of traumatic life experiences as energy blockages or contractions. Any unresolved trauma from any period in our life—including our time in the womb—can give rise to these blockages. When enough of them accumulate, they form what spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle calls the pain body.
The easiest way to recognize your own pain body is observe yourself when something relatively insignificant—a mild comment about your appearance, for example—triggers a disproportionate response from you—such as a stern lecture, a temper tantrum, or even violent behavior. Once triggered, the pain body is extremely difficult to stop until the current response has run its course. It is intensely addictive. Left unchecked, the pain body can store, circulate, and recycle this trapped negative energy within us, increasing our feelings of emptiness and unhappiness—sometimes to almost unbearable levels.
To acknowledge our pain body is the beginning of a healing and transformation process. Many CMR Practitioners use the parable of the pond to illustrate how the CMR process works. In this story, a beautiful, flourishing pond suddenly begins to stagnate and die for no apparent reason. First, the waters turn dark and begin to smell. Soon after, the fish die and the birds leave. Finally, all of the surrounding vegetation, trees, and flowers wither and fade—leaving the townspeople feeling sad, helpless, and utterly bewildered.
Realizing that they need help, the townspeople ask for guidance. One expert insisted that life would return to the pond if only the townspeople could replenish it with the fresh, pure waters from a nearby natural spring. “All will be as it was within a few short months,” she said.
On hearing this advice, another expert shook his head slowly. “That approach addresses only the outward signs of your problem—dark, lifeless waters—and not its causes,” he said. “I recommend studying the waters and the surrounding area carefully to discover what is causing the stagnation. To accomplish this, drain the pond, search carefully for the source of the problem, remove or repair it, and, only then, replenish the pond with fresh, pure waters from the nearby spring. This approach will take longer, but it will bear lasting results.”
Our pain bodies are like the pond at the beginning of the parable—stagnant, dark, and toxic. Following the advice of the second, wiser expert, the first step on the path to transformation is to drain our own internal stagnant waters—the energy blockages and contractions known as the pain body. CMR Practitioners call this step the Pain Body Release process, or PBR.
At the heart of PBR is a willingness to turn inward and face—with full acceptance of whatever you may see or feel—the discomfort present within each of us. This process short circuits our conditioned response of denying our pain or running away from it in a variety of addictions, including alcohol, drugs, sex, and compulsive eating, gambling, and even shopping. With the help of a trained CMR Professional, you learn how to look inward at your pain, with full attention and presence and without any need to know why it’s there, where it came from, or how long it will remain. The key here is acceptance.
When practiced earnestly, this process can be incredibly liberating, helping to rid you of years of accumulated emotional toxicity and energetic blockages. It can also feel very good. But if you stop here, eventually your inner pain will re-accumulate because you haven’t discovered and repaired or removed its source. All you’ve done is drain the pond.
According to CMR, the next step is known as Neural Net Repatterning, or NNR. NNR helps people discover the beliefs and assumptions behind their behaviors that affect every area of their lives—relationships, sex, finances, health, diet, and more. By exposing these beliefs to the light, you can learn to stop creating the energy contractions and blockages that create—or recreate—the pain body.
The third and final step of the CMR process is conscious communication. Even after you’ve undergone powerful emotional healing and changed many of the painful thought patterns that perpetuate energy blockages, you almost certainly still communicate in ways that can harm your relationships with others. The key to completing the healing process is learning new ways of communicating that enable you to maintain and express inner gratitude.
CMR is not for everyone. It takes a willingness to really look unconditionally at some of your darkest, most painful parts. But if you’re ready to take responsibility and move from victim into being a participant, then CMR might be right for you. With practice, it can help you connect with a greater sense of well-being, freedom, and inner peace than you’ve ever known before.
