Last spring (remember spring?) some readers may have caught my column on a personal process I experienced called ‘The Journey’. I remember, at the time, thinking that it was one of the best gifts that I could have given my ‘self’. The experience left me feeling liberated, lighthearted and tranquil, with a deeper understanding of my behavioural patterns. There was a lot of reaction from that column - questions mostly, many wanting a play-by-play of the process, all of which I was happy to supply.

It was Alain Zumbach, a Bolton-based Journey practitioner, who carefully and expertly guided me through the treatment. The column was not only to enlighten but also to inform any interested readers of an up-coming presentation that he was giving last May.

Now we jump ahead to December 2008. Alain Zumbach is offering another free presentation, and this time the focus is on Wellness for Children.

Children are exposed to many experiences over their young lives that they cannot comprehend. Often, an event that is traumatic for a child slips completely under the radar screen of the care-giving adult and that trauma becomes buried in the memory cells of the child.

Less inhibited than adults, with fewer layers of time over the trauma, children respond quickly and easily to the letting go process. Currently, the ‘Kids’ Journey’ is being used all over the world by teachers, school counselors, and children’s therapists, often with dramatic results.

With Journey Work, children and adults have successfully cleared issues of grief, loss, abandonment, depression, jealousy, low self esteem, and fear, and have naturally healed from a variety of health concerns including allergies, acute asthma, eczema, cancer of many kinds, Crohn's disease and migraines.

Journey work was born through the experience of its author, Brandon Bays, who developed a football-sized tumour in her uterus. Bays, herself a therapist and teacher in the natural health field, was able to heal and rid her body of her illness in just six and a half weeks time. But in the process she went on her own profound healing journey, which brought her face-to-face with an emotional issue that had remained blocked for years. In freeing that cell memory, her body was able to heal itself.

Zumbach has experienced this same success with his clients, including children.

I know this because I have seen the results. Children come to us with a pure radiance and unlimited potential, but sometimes, somehow that beauty gets buried beneath layers of “stuff” that begin to block the joy and the love. The Journey process offers tools to liberate that shining potential.
