ou know that person who lights up a room with their eyes and presence because they are so full of life and it oozes out of their pores? Well, I have the pleasure of introducing you to my German spark plug friend, Ellie Ritcher. She believes that sustainable healing and transformation are always possible. She has spent the last 24 years acquiring skills in holistic and integrative approaches that address change on a mental, emotional and physical level. Her work is steeped in both science and spirituality. I received her integrative approach through the modality of PSYCH-K. It has changed my life for the better, and it can change yours, too! RACHEL GLOWACKI: Ellie, the PSYCH-K method has had a healing impact on thousands of people around the globe, including myself. Can you tell us why the PSYCH-K methodology works and what it stands for?

RG: It is interesting to think that we operate that high from a subconscious level. A hypnotherapist explained to me that “subconscious programming is like the windows running in the background of a computer and we need to swipe out those old windows and update the software of our minds. Subconscious methods go through the back door of the brain/amygdala instead of the front door of the brain/prefrontal cortex." I can speak from my own experience that I consciously talked my way out of my own negative thinking and discovered that my subconscious programming of unworthiness and not deserving of x,y or z, needed to be updated and synched up. It is exciting to know that research now shows that the neuroplasticity in our brains can be rewired. I loved the way you explained to

ELLIE RITCHER: PSYCH-K stands for “mind keys.” We can use it directly and effortlessly to transform our subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind drives about 95% of our daily experiences. We have the conscious power to make any changes to our perceptions that are empowering and impactful for our well-being.
