ThetaSoma™ Integration Therapy

ThetaSoma™ is an intuitive healing technique that integrates tools from yoga, dreamwork, and ancestral healing into an experiential journey through the subconscious. 

ThetaSoma™ opens a doorway; a portal to a way of healing that is ancient and universal.

“I’ve had two ThetaSoma sessions. These were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I’ve had years of therapy prior, which sometimes made me feel worse by bringing up life conflicts. During my theta-therapy sessions I was guided to a comfortably safe space to explore emotionally charged areas of my life, and reframe my past memories. Despite the intensity of the sessions, they felt more like a combination roller coaster ride and a shiatsu massage; this was a true healing experience!”

— Dr. Drew Factor, Internal Medicine Physician

ThetaSoma™ integration therapy sessions allow your clients to safely journey within the body to uncover and reprogram somatic emotional patterns based in trauma from childhood, past-lives, or intergenerational wounds. 

ThetaSoma™ is a psycho-somatic-spiritual tool for trauma release that keeps the sacred in the center of the healing journey.

Where can it be used?

ThetaSoma™ is an effective tool in both clinical and non-clinical settings.

It can be used in psychotherapy, psychiatry, alternative medicine, body work, yoga classes, and both clinical and ceremonial psychedelic sessions.

How is ThetaSoma™ an effective tool for Psychedelic Preparation and Integration?

ThetaSoma™’s unique blend of tools from yoga, dreamwork, and ancestral healing makes it an ideal tool for both the preparation and integration of psychedelic medicine sessions.

  1. ThetaSoma™ creates an expanded state of consciousness. This will help familiarize your client with these states so they can open and surrender more easily in the medicine space.

  2. ThetaSoma™ helps create focus and intention in psychedelic sessions, particularly with ketamine where clients may feel lost or confused in journeys. ThetaSoma™ can be used within a session to support accessing deeper layers of subconscious work.

  3. Through working with ThetaSoma™, the client learns to traverse the subconscious through somatic sensation. A series of ThetaSoma™ sessions in preparation for a psychedelic journey can familiarize a client with the process of tuning into the body-mind connection. This can help a client surrender to physical sensation in a journey.

  4. Psychedelic Medicine brings our subconscious and unconscious to the surface. This can include repressed memories or traumatic experiences. ThetaSoma™ supports the client to learn how to build inner resilience to experience these memories safely. It also gives the Guide a map of the territory that could be explored in a psychedelic session. 

  5. ThetaSoma™ can support re-entry into aspects of the psychedelic experience during integration, offering the opportunity for deeper processing in integration sessions.

  6. Psychedelic Medicine can increase our dream activity. ThetaSoma™ incorporates dream journaling and dream symbolism into the therapeutic process. We enter an expanded state of consciousness each night when we go to sleep, and we can use this to learn more about ourselves and our healing journey.

  7. Often, our traumatic patterning is inherited from our families in what is known as intergenerational trauma. Through embracing Ancestral Healing, ThetaSoma™ includes the larger familial consciousness in the clients healing experience. Often, familial relations and/or ancestral connections come up in psychedelic journeys. The Guide will already have context of important relationships and cultural narratives that could be present. 

  8. ThetaSoma™ values ritual, spirituality, and ancestral connection. These tools can support creating a safe, protective space for journey work with psychedelic medicine. It also encourages the client to incorporate practices from their own cultural heritage, rather than borrowing or appropriating from other cultures. In addition, ThetaSoma™ creates the space for spiritual emergence and mystical experience and allows for creative interpretation of a journey. 

“ThetaSoma™ has been described as dream-induction. We find this technique to be highly effective both on its own, and with psychedelic medicine.”

Interpretation of Subconscious Symbolism

In dreams, meditations, psychedelic journeys, mystical experiences and even in our every day lives, our subconscious speaks to us in symbols.

ThetaSoma™ Guides learn how to identify and support the interpretation of subconscious symbolism that can hold keys to a clients healing.

At ThetaSoma™, we believe that healing happens from the inside out — and that each person holds the keys to their own healing. With this philosophy, we support individuals to taken an active role in the process.

FAQs

  • Yes! We are currently using ThetaSoma™ in our work with Ketamine as preparation, integration and during journeys to support Guiding clients deeper into the subconscious and physical body.

    ThetaSoma™ has been designed to create a sense of expanded consciousness, similar to what you experience in a psychedelic journey or breath work session. However, the technique is easeful and accessible in a 1 hour therapy session in your office or on zoom!

    We find it works well to prepare clients for the experience they will have on psychedelic medicine, and to integrate psychedelic experiences, as well as a standalone therapeutic technique.

  • Together, we will meditate and journey to a Theta Brainwave state.

    We will explore sensation in the body and uncover how these physical sensations are connected to memories or "stored files" (see images below).

    We will revisit these memories and reprogram our relationship to them through somatic tools for energy release.

    Every session is different, every person is different, every life is different.

  • We have worked with clients experiencing a variety of mental and physical heath disturbances:

    PTSD

    Anxiety 

    OCD

    Chronic Pain

    Depression

    Sexual Trauma

    Childhood Trauma (divorce, abuse, etc.)

    Abusive Relationships

    Chronic Health Issues (cancer, crohn's disease, lyme disease, reproductive health, kidney stones)

    End of Life/Death 

  • ​ThetaSoma™ can also support healthy people that are going through life transitions and/or seeking to break out of a pattern and regain creative control over their lives. 

  • ThetaSoma™ is a spiritual practice, however, it is applicable across many belief systems and religions.

  • Our bodies contain the memory of all our life experience (and past-life experiences) even if our minds have forgotten or blocked it out.  This is especially true of traumatic experiences. 

    These experiences and traumas becomes lodged in our being and force us to replay toxic patterns in our lives in and relationships.

    These "programs" previously functioned as survival mechanisms, but in the present they sabotage our efforts to find love, health, and peace in our lives.

    This can also be viewed as our "shadow" or the aspects of our behavior that we are unable to see in our conscious lives because they are so deeply embedded in our being.

    Over time, these patterns can manifest as disease and unwellness in the body, in ability to reach our goals, or a general feeling of being "stuck".

  • Trauma can lead to states of disassociation, limiting belief systems, and other draining emotional patterns that make it difficult to access our full spectrum of creativity.

  • Yes! The tools from ThetaSoma™ are applicable in a therapeutic setting with both kids and teens. Although, you would want to adapt the technique to fit the needs of your specific population.

  • Yes! We are more than trauma-informed. We are focused on supporting the healing of trauma through safe, ethical, integration of traumatic memory.

The History of ThetaSoma™

When Alexandra and Anthony met in 2017, they had both already spent many years walking the healing path. Alexandra began working with psychedelic medicine at age 13, and then commenced the practice and study of yoga at age 18. Anthony had also been meditating from an early age and spent most of his 20’s focused on the esoteric studies of magick, symbolism, and hypnosis. From their first meeting, it was clear that there was deep healing work to be done between the two of them.

As their relationship deepened, their traumas bubbled to the surface. Alex and Anthony had both faced a myriad of traumatic experiences in childhood including: families with substance abuse, physical violence, running away, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse, as well as periods of financial destitution. These traumas made it difficult to connect in the healthy, loving, ways that they both desired. So, they dedicated themselves to healing work in order to create the life of liberation and self-expression that they believed they were meant to live — utilizing the trauma of their childhoods as creative fuel.

Over a period of three years, they would spend much of their time working with an array of spiritual healing modalities to find harmony between each other. They taught each other everything they knew about the nature of reality and their individual magick, from nutrition to self care to tarot. Through this process of learning and sharing the seeds of ThetaSoma™ were sown. It emerged as a technique they would share between each other — holding space for the other to process difficult and painful memories of childhood trauma.

As their individual studies bloomed, the practice solidified and slowly distilled into the technique we teach today.

ThetaSoma™ is a philosophical body of work, rooted in personal practice, experience, and a desire to innovate towards effective healing technology. ThetaSoma™ will continue to shift, evolve, grow, and expand over time as more is learned and the needs of the collective consciousness change.

The Code of Ethics for Spiritual Guides

[Preamble] People have long sought to enrich their lives and to awaken to their full natures through spiritual practices including prayer, meditation, mind-body disciplines, service, ritual, community liturgy, holy-day and seasonal observances, and rites of passage. "Primary religious practices" are those intended, or especially likely, to bring about exceptional states of consciousness such as the direct experience of the divine, of cosmic unity, or of boundless awareness.

In any community, there are some who feel called to assist others along spiritual paths, and who are known as ministers, rabbis, pastors, curanderas, shamans, priests, or other titles. We call such people 'guides': those experienced in some practice, familiar with the terrain, and who act to facilitate the spiritual practices of others. A guide need not claim exclusive or definitive knowledge of the terrain.

Spiritual practices, and especially primary religious practices, carry risks. Therefore, when an individual chooses to practice with the assistance of a guide, both take on special responsibilities. The Council on Spiritual Practices proposes the following Code of Ethics for those who serve as spiritual guides.

1. [Intention] Spiritual guides are to practice and serve in ways that cultivate awareness, empathy, and wisdom.

2. [Serving Society] Spiritual practices are to be designed and conducted in ways that respect the common good, with due regard for public safety, health, and order. Because the increased awareness gained from spiritual practices can catalyze desire for personal and social change, guides shall use special care to help direct the energies of those they serve, as well as their own, in responsible ways that reflect a loving regard for all life.

3. [Serving Individuals] Spiritual guides shall respect and seek to preserve the autonomy and dignity of each person. Participation in any primary religious practice must be voluntary and based on prior disclosure and consent given individually by each participant while in an ordinary state of consciousness. Disclosure shall include, at a minimum, discussion of any elements of the practice that could reasonably be seen as presenting physical or psychological risks. In particular, participants must be warned that primary religious experience can be difficult and dramatically transformative.

Guides shall make reasonable preparations to protect each participant's health and safety during spiritual practices and in the periods of vulnerability that may follow. Limits on the behaviors of participants and facilitators are to be made clear and agreed upon in advance of any session. Appropriate customs of confidentiality are to be established and honored.

4. [Competence] Spiritual guides shall assist with only those practices for which they are qualified by personal experience and by training or education.

5. [Integrity] Spiritual guides shall strive to be aware of how their own belief systems, values, needs, and limitations affect their work. During primary religious practices, participants may be especially open to suggestion, manipulation, and exploitation; therefore, guides pledge to protect participants and not to allow anyone to use that vulnerability in ways that harm participants or others.

6. [Quiet Presence] To help safeguard against the harmful consequences of personal and organizational ambition, spiritual communities are usually better allowed to grow through attraction rather than active promotion.

7. [Not for Profit] Spiritual practices are to be conducted in the spirit of service. Spiritual guides shall strive to accommodate participants without regard to their ability to pay or make donations.

8. [Tolerance] Spiritual guides shall practice openness and respect towards people whose beliefs are in apparent contradiction to their own.

9. [Peer Review] Each guide shall seek the counsel of other guides to help ensure the wholesomeness of his or her practices and shall offer counsel when there is need.
