Elimination of Problems, Using IntentionI have mentioned already that trying to overcome your weaknesses by an effortof will is ineffective, because results are short-term if one is antagonistically motivated;that is, if there is unconscious self-sabotage. However, intention or desire tochange is thenecessary starting point for removing a disorder. If this intention or desire is lacking at thebeginning of therapy, there will be no success. When the one who has the problem does notdesire to eliminate it, every attempt to help coming from others is doomed to failure. Asthe old saying goes, a wound heals only from within.The night I was inspired to create the basic components of PEAT (see Introduction), athought came to me: one of the most important elements of healing is intention (effort ofwill or volition), through which we eliminate the energetic disturbances that spring fromone's limiting beliefs and decisions of defeat made in the distant past, both of which preventone's Spiritual growth.At that time I already had the belief that one should try to influence one's energetic

field using pure intention, through focused will and imagination.This idea was reinforced when I recalled an interesting experience from 1977, whenI was doing a special processing in London. Once I had a strong headache which mademe unable to continue the session. In order to help me, my Processor applied the so-calledªTouch Assistº.It was a very simple technique. Using his finger he touched parts of my body, beginningwith the areas most distant from the source of the pain in my head (toes). Graduallyapproaching my head, at each point he gave me the command: ªFeel my finger!º When

I answered affirmatively, he would thank me. After 7 or 8 minutes he reached the placein my head where I felt the strongest pain and the moment he touched it, the pain miraculouslyvanished.A month later I had a strong headache. It was evening and I was not able to sleep becauseof the pain. In an inspired moment, I had a fruitful idea about how to help myself. Asvividly as I could, I imagined my Processor standing by my bed and applying theTouchAssist. In my imagination I strained to feel the touch of his finger and to hear his words.

When he, in my imagination, reached the painful place on my head, suddenly the painvanished completely. I was fascinated by that experience but did nothing to develop theprocess further. During the development of PEAT, this memory reinforced my ideaof theimportance of using intention and imagination in therapy and Spiritual development.We could define intention as a directed willful effort toward attaining a certain



goal. Practice shows that a therapeutic or Spiritual developmental procedure byitself is notenough to bring about healing or to raise a person's Spiritual level. Technical action has tobe directed toward a specific goal or outcome in order to be effective, especially if the Clientand Processor are intently focused on the goal of processing.166 Živorad Mihajlović SlavinskiLater on I came across Professor Tiller's research, which gave scientific confirmationto this idea. In 1972 Tiller pointed out that mental awareness and thought concentrationcauses significant changes in the electrical characteristics of acupoints and that this awareness,or intention, is measurable. This explains the significant differences in success betweenprocessing when the Client is concentrating on her problem and experiencing it andwhen she is disassociated.Another aspect of intentional influence worth investigating is the resonance ofthe Processor'spositive psychic energy with the Client and vice versa, while both are focused onthe ultimate goal of the process. In great measure it is influenced by the posit

ive emotionsof both parties, or at least the Processor's positive emotions toward the Client.Naturally,the strongest positive emotion is love, which miraculously influences healing. A Processorwho removes problems using intention should arouse within himself positive emotions,preferably love, for the whole group. He should perceive them as beings that need help, andhelp is given most easily through love.Since it took me much time to check out the many ideas I had the night I synthesizedthe basic principles of PEAT processing, I was able to test the value of pure in

tention as atherapeutic act only two or three weeks later. The first time I tried it with amember of mySpiritual technology research group. The problem that a particular member had was hersudden aggressiveness. On the scale, she estimated the strength of that feelingas 9.I felt that her problem would be difficult to eliminate by intention, but I decided to tryit anyway. I would have probably been satisfied if, after one round of the Basic process (atthat time I worked with 13 points, not with 3, as I do now), her problem's strength was reduced

to a level of 6 or 7.I asked her to be completely open towards me and to accept with trust everything thatcame from me.First I imagined her stating the FESS formula for her problem and then I began influencingher with my thoughts. I imagined stretching my arm out towards her to touchall the 13 points, one after another. I imagined the contact of my fingers on her skin whileI silently repeated the problem phrase (ªaggressive behaviorº); at each acupoint I d



eeplyinhaled and exhaled.When I had finished with the first round of touching acupoints, which took a minute orso, I asked her: ªBefore I began this process you told me the strength of your problem was9; what is happening with the problem now?ºShe looked surprised, as did the group of fifteen people present, when she said: ªThereisn't any. It vanished!ºI was the most surprised of all. Based on everything I knew, I did not expect such asuccessful result.Several weeks later I gave my first PEAT workshop. At the end of the day, when Participantswere convinced of the efficiency of the method, I repeated the experiment with avolunteer Participant. I was again slightly skeptical and had modest expectations ± only thatthe strength of the problem would decrease at the end of the process. I believed I shouldnot expect more because the volunteer had met me for the first time at that workshop, so Iexpected him to be less open and trusting of me than the members of my group. Yet again I

was surprised ± his problem disappeared after just one round of touching acupoints.From then on, as a component of my PEAT workshops, I have included this method ofremoving problems without using words and without touching acupoints, just using intenPEAT:New Pathways 167tion. Not even once has the strength of the problem not been considerably reduced, and inmany Participants, the problem entirely disappeared.I later began applying this procedure to an entire group. I ask each person to choose aproblem, to experience it and estimate its strength on a scale of 0 to 10. They

do not informme which problem they chose or what its strength is. Next I visualize the wholegroup asone huge being of vague shape, and as taking up most of the space in the room. Then Iimagine stretching out my hand and touching the being's acupoints with the intention ofremoving its collective problem. I go through all the acupoints. At each point,I deeply inhaleand exhale. When I complete the process I ask all the members of the group to tell mewhat happened to their problems. Not even one problem has ever had the same strength as

before. They were either much weaker, or disappeared entirely.On my workshops, I show Participants that they too can achieve the same result.I firstdescribe the method in detail and then let a volunteer try to conduct the process. The resultis the same as when I conduct it. To be able to achieve such success with this process issurprising and fascinating.There are several important elements in this process I would like to point out.First, I do the process focusing on the three points around the eye. I move from



the firstto the third point. This is one round. In total, I do three rounds (three timesthree points).Second, and most important for Practitioners, is the significance of directing attentionand intention to a Client when we do individual PEAT processing, either Basic or Deep.Obviously, it makes a great difference if the Processor places maximum attention on theClient and has the intention of helping rather than if the Processor does it with partial attentionor even automatically, without being truly engaged. If the Processor uses his ownintention to the greatest possible degree, and the Client has the intention to feel better, successwill be incomparably greater than when such a well-intentioned and focused attitudeis lacking.Third, the issue of moral responsibility in such a procedure arises, especiallybecausesome practitioners claim to have helped others using intention without their accordance orknowledge. Actually, this is the same problem that arises with Surrogate Processing (see

that chapter); that is, processing others through identifying with them.Fourth, entirely new perspectives and possibilities are opening up for us. If Ican attaingood results with 20 or 30 people, and if after me a Participant from my Processors' trainingseminar can do the same, is it possible to attain the same results with a groupof 150people? This process could be developed further because it has a great potential. Perhaps soon we will witness the development of a new kind of therapy ± Intentional therapy?
