Beyond Belief: How I Use my Octave Resonance Healing Approach™ to Tell if Image Cycling and the Bengston Healing Method Are Working
When people find me through the Bengston Energy Healing Method®, they often think that’s all I do. And I get it—I talk about it a lot, I use it a lot, and quite honestly, I’m really good at it. I’ve trained in it, taught it, and helped people (and animals) experience profound changes through it. But the Bengston Method is just one tool in my toolkit.
What I offer is something much larger—something I call the Octave Resonance Healing Approach™. It’s a flexible, structured framework that integrates decades of clinical experience, a deep understanding of energy systems, and my own evolution as one of the first American acupuncturists, sound healers, and spiritual thinkers in this field. It allows me to honor the power of methods like William Bengston’s Image Cycling, while going far beyond them.
What Is the Octave Resonance Healing Approach™?
Think of healing as happening across four “octaves” or dimensions:
- Spiritual
- Emotions & Images
- Life Force / Qi
- Physical Body
Each octave influences the others. When something shifts in one, it ripples through the rest. If you’ve ever walked into a sauna, for example, the physical heat affects your vitality (life force), your mood, and even your inner images. That’s how resonance works.
Most healing models recognize body-mind-spirit, but they often leave out the engine… the Life Force. That’s where I come in. As an acupuncturist since the 1980s, I’ve spent decades learning how to see and work with vitality. Life force is not an abstract concept to me. It’s tangible, trackable, and the very thing that makes the difference between a living body and a corpse. It’s also the space where you can tell—right in the red-hot second—whether distance healing energy or hands-on energy healing is working.
🌀 Want to know how to tell if energy healing is working? That’s what the Octave Resonance Healing Approach is designed to reveal.
Where Image Cycling and the Bengston Method Fit In
The Bengston Energy Healing Method® is brilliant for teaching people how to activate hands-on or distance healing energy without needing to “believe” in it. It’s all about learning to trust experience over faith, observation over assumption. That’s why I love it. It aligns perfectly with the thinkers and skeptics I tend to attract—people who want results they can see, not just stories they have to believe.
Image Cycling is a core part of most of my sessions. But in my world, we don’t stop there. We use tools like image cycling within a broader framework that allows us to understand how or if it’s working—and how to adjust when it’s not.
For example, if you’re practicing image cycling and nothing’s happening, I might check in with the emotional octave—are you blocked by an unresolved image? Or maybe it’s your life force that’s stagnant. Or perhaps you’re bumping into a spiritual level shift that’s waiting to land. The Octave framework helps you troubleshoot and fine-tune.
No Belief Required—Just Observation
A lot of people feel hesitant about energy work because they think it requires belief. It doesn’t. Not here. You don’t need to believe in the Bengston Healing Method, or distance healing energy, or even in “energy” at all. You just have to be curious and willing to notice.
But what is there to notice?
In my sessions, we often use guided visualization exercises to access the emotional and spiritual octaves. The goal is not to force images, but to let them surprise you. If your images shift unexpectedly, or if you feel an emotional release, or a burst of energy in your body—that’s the real work happening.
I teach people to track these changes as data—not as mystical fluff. And yes, sometimes those changes include things like tumors cooling down, digestion improving, or pets acting noticeably different. This is the kind of evidence that turns curious thinkers into confident practitioners.
Animals Understand This Naturally
One of the sweetest parts of this work is seeing how effortlessly animals engage in it. They don’t question it. They don’t overthink it. They just receive. In fact, I often say the place we’re trying to get to during a session is where the animals already live. They don’t need training in Image Cycling or the Bengston Healing Method—they’re already resonating with the healing field.
Final Thoughts
So, if you came here to learn the Bengston Method, Image Cycling, or distance healing energy, you’re in the right place—but you might be walking into something much deeper. The Octave Resonance Healing Approach™ helps you go beyond belief and into direct experience. It respects the intelligence of your body, your life force, your emotions, your spirit—and most importantly, your ability to clearly think about and witness your process.
