A decade ago, San Diego hosted the Superbowl, an event that glorifies American football, the most body-breaking sport in the United States. As the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers prepared for physical battle, international staff from the Clairvision School in Sydney, Australia held workshops in La Jolla to facilitate spiritual healing for attendees.

In the early 1980s, while a young doctor in France, Dr. Samuel Sagan (no relation to Carl), used regression to treat his most difficult cases. Although contrary to what he had studied in medical school, the techniques worked. Dr. Sagan turned his attention to the spiritual realm and consequently formed Clairvision, a school of meditation and spirituality in Australia. The school’s major emphasis is on opening the student’s spiritual vision, nurturing “a new ‘organ’ of sight, the third eye.”

Clairvision offers a multi-process curriculum designed to explore and transform consciousness. Some topics that appear on the Clairvision show are healing, stress management, Supermind techniques on how to develop intelligence, and sexual and energetic awareness. In January, teachers imported two of the fastest-accessible healing modalities, “Awakening the Third Eye” and “ISIS Regression,” to San Diego.

“Third Eye Awakening” is a systematic method of awakening the third eye and engaging spiritual vision. As Dr. Sagan writes in the Introduction to his book of the same name, it is his intention to share these third eye techniques with “those who cannot be satisfied with just an intellectual understanding of spiritual realities and who wish to access the direct experience. .”

He adds: “The more you can let go of any preconceived ideas, the easier it will be to ‘see’…Although various extrasensory perceptions will arise as you practice the techniques, the purpose is clearly to find the Self and learn to see the world from the Self in instead of seeing it from your usual mental awareness. He notes that Clairvision techniques are based on a “direct awakening of the energy body,” and do not use channeling, creative imagination, positive affirmations, hypnosis, or autosuggestion.

“ISIS” (Inner Space Interactive Sourcing) is an intensive method of regression therapy with a spiritual focus. It employs the awakened Third Eye and the assistance of a “connector” that focuses its energy to facilitate the journey of the “backsliders”. The four-day San Diego workshops were shortened versions of a long-term training course offered at the Clairvision school in Sydney through which participants can become professional ISIS therapists, as well as implement the technique without assistance.

Regression has long been used as a technique in psychotherapy. What is interesting about ISIS is that it employs both psychotherapeutic and metaphysical dimensions. According to a Clairvision course description, the essential characteristics of ISIS, a “Gateway to the Self” are:

* It is a means of self-discovery and transformation that allows reaching an unprecedented level of depth in the psyche;

* Reveals aspects of the Self that one had never suspected, opening up untapped potential and sources of inspiration and creativity;

* I Brings to the source of deep-seated emotional burdens and traumas, while allowing a safe release of these blockages;

* Allows the discovery of past, present and future energy patterns in the individual psyche;

* It is a highly effective method to balance energy;

* It acts through a stimulation of the third eye and perception of the interior space.

ISIS students, including San Diego participants, have experienced a wide range of benefits including:

* Improved mental clarity and emotional stability;

* Greater freedom from disorders related to anxiety and stress;

* Resolution of internal conflicts;

* Rediscovery of one’s own spontaneity;

* A deep level of self-healing through reconnection with one’s true nature;

* A growing sense of Self-knowledge;

*An awakening of spiritual vision.

In his book, Regression, Past Life Therapy for Freedom Here and Now, Dr. Sagan states that “Even in the first sessions, it is not uncommon to experience flashbacks that cannot be related to any experience in this life, but are accompanied by flashbacks.” of a deep feeling and an inner certainty that they refer to yourself, which is why regression is often called “past life therapy”.

He emphasizes that one does not need to believe in past lives or anything else to benefit from regression, and that, in fact, “the fewer beliefs you bring with you, the better chance of success, because beliefs create expectations that tend to distort the purity of beliefs.” experiences. Some of the flashbacks during the regression are extremely clear and leave the client with little doubt that they are real. However, what matters with regression experiences is not whether they come from past lives, but what kind of improvement they can bring. contribute to your present”.

The lesson of regression is to explore with an open mind what Dr. Sagan calls a “flavor of self,” a sense of one’s continuity in time, and to apply one’s discoveries to the here and now. As the doctor says, “ISIS aims to reveal its true nature and cares little who it has been.”

After conducting their Third-Eye and ISIS work in Australia for over a decade, the Clairvision team felt the time was right to share their knowledge with Americans. They wanted to show us how the techniques can be applied as a pure system in itself, as well as incorporated into other professions. In 1997, Clairvision presented a workshop in North Carolina, which was so well attended and received that a year later they came to California to present another workshop (partially sponsored by Earth Energy Products of San Diego) that presented the ISIS regression technique which is based on on three fundamental principles:

1. the inner space of the third eye, which is accessed through the space between the eyebrows;

2. the interaction between two people: the ‘client’ goes to bed and undergoes the regression experience, while the ‘connector’ sits nearby and monitors the energy during the session;

3. a systematic search for the source of all emotional imprints or “scars” and behavioral conditioning.

As a Third-Eye Awakening and ISIS Regression San Diego workshop participant, I can tell you that while the systematic techniques are easy to implement, someone who has been involved in some spiritual process, such as yoga, meditation, or bodywork, will find the techniques almost ” second nature”. Fellow participants and I felt that there was more therapeutic value in ongoing regression work over several days, rather than a single session.

Since we worked in teams of two and sometimes three, it was beneficial to “switch partners” and experience different energies. During my most memorable “journey” as a client, my two connectors and I shared a deep and powerful energy exchange that could be described as tantric, ecstatic.

We had all arrived at a spiritually vibrant destination that I like to think will one day be as accessible to everyone as the Superbowl.

Clairvision instructors present workshops on the awakening of the third eye and ISIS around the world. Visit the Clairvision website for more information.
