THE TELEIOS TECHNIQUE

This book is about the Teleios Technique and how to use it for removing blocks to spiritual growth and for spiritual healing. The word “Teleios” is the Greek word for “whole, complete or one.” It is from the passage in the New Testament that could be translated as, “Be ye therefore complete (whole or one), even as your Father, which is in heaven, is complete (whole or one).” (Matthew 5:48) The aim of the Teleios Technique, as a method of body/mind and spiritual healing, is to help the self and others to be whole. This includes the body/mind, soul and spirit, in all its dimensions; as well as our oneness with all of humanity, space, time and the whole universe. Since God is in All That Is, then wholeness can also be described as being in touch with the God within, with one’s divinity, as well as the Creator God and Source of All That Is ‘out there.’ The Teleios Technique uses many modifications of traditional, as well as innovative, methods to assist the process of removing blocks to being whole and to being spiritual. The Teleios Technique goes beyond the different methods that focus on physical health, mental health or emotional health to focus on the total person, including our own divinity, interpersonal relationships, our connection with our guardian angel plus our spiritual oneness and connection with the universe.

The aim of the Teleios Technique is to remove blocks to being one with one’s self, others and the universe, through the use of various therapeutic and healing techniques and to become whole through spiritual healing. Through various protocols, the intent is to help others and ourselves be in touch with and operate from our souls, rather than be controlled by our self-centered, fear-ridden egos. The Teleios Technique is based on drawing upon universal consciousness and angels to aid the healing process. The Teleios Technique’s goal: to be in touch with our Selves and with our own divinity. In addition, it is an eclectic process bringing together bits and pieces of many therapeutic and spiritual healing traditions and techniques I have found useful in my own healing process and in helping others to be able to get in touch with their divine nature more quickly. This is done without any need for identification with any particular religious tradition. One aim is to experience the spiritual heart of all religions, which is direct communication with God and the divinity within each of us.

In developing this eclectic approach, the aim has been to create processes, protocols and techniques that can be learned and used by anyone committed to acknowledging, incorporating and incarnating God in their lives. Professional healers and body workers can use The Teleios Technique for their own personal spiritual growth or with clients. It can also be used by laypersons willing to incorporate the various techniques and meditative practices into their daily way of life. Although not specifically covered in this training manual, exercise, a healthy diet, adequate pure drinking water and restful sleep are presupposed or recommended, if not already part of one’s life style.

This manual is based on many new theories and the results of personal research in addition to many traditional protocols. The basic belief underlying the various processes is panentheism. This is the affirmation that God is in all things. Since this includes us, finding the God of love and light within us becomes one of the aims of the healing process. In this book, God and Consciousness are considered terms referring to the same reality. Since God is Consciousness, many of the techniques are to free us from blocks that keep us from experiencing this Consciousness within us. As Candice Pert has pointed out, the peptides, as information, flow through our bodies, creating a network of the endocrine, immune, meridian and nervous systems. By trusting in this process and removing blocks to the free flow of information or consciousness through our bodies, we can get in touch with the soul and our ability to be loving, to be loved and to be love.

It is recommended that anyone seriously interested in using this book for their own spiritual growth find another person to work with and take turns using the following procedures on each other. By exchanging sessions, one learns both the healer and the client roles. By being the client, one learns how to integrate the techniques and changes that result from using them in everyday life. One’s own spiritual life can be enhanced and advanced by working reciprocally with a partner since this is a practical workshop in ‘walking the talk’, in learning to communicate love and acceptance and in practicing forgiveness. By learning with a partner as the healer, it gives one a sense of how to use a given technique to attain the best results.

By sharing the growth process, the interaction between the two partners working together, is itself a part of the learning process since the techniques are designed to release our blocks to giving and receiving love. Working together will create a real situation within which the degree of openness to each other will indicate the relative success of the various processes. Being both healer and client gives the person in training an opportunity to learn from both roles: how to use a technique and to learn how it affects one as a client. It also allows the healer a chance to work out the best ways to use a given technique and make modifications to open up to using and trusting one’s own innate and intuitive abilities.

The major and more innovative focus of this book is on spiritual healing. This expression can be interpreted as overcoming our separations from our spiritual nature by removing our blocks to recognizing and identifying with our spiritual nature. In the following, this is referred to as the function of the healer. We will draw on various techniques developed by psychologists, psychiatrists, massage healers, energy healers, body workers and stress management healers, but with modifications, since our intent is different. Most psychotherapeutic techniques were developed to help individuals cope and handle their emotions. Problems and patterns requiring psychotherapeutic intervention may need to be solved with a professional therapist before a person can open up to the transpersonal area.

The first section introduces modifications of psychotherapeutic techniques I have found to be most effective and less time consuming in releasing negative blocks and changing neurotic patterns. Our aim is not just to be able to cope with an increasingly crazy and stressful world. Our intent is to remove the barriers to becoming more spiritual and to operate from identification with our spiritual selves rather than the fear based ego. To reach this point, it is often necessary to overcome immature ways of experiencing love and interpersonal intimacy. For this, the psycho-physiological pattern often needs to be altered before a person can be open to give and receive love in a mature, sharing way.

There is no intent, in this manual, to represent any particular school of psychotherapy accurately, although I will try to give credit to the various approaches from which I have learned. Aspects that are useful in clearing out negativity are often modified, based on how
