Light Being Process

This process originates from Richard Bolstad. I came across it in 2007 at the NLP & Coaching Institute in Berlin run by Nandana and Karl Nielsen. I can wholeheartedly recommend both Richard's work and that of Nandana and Karl. The process reflects insights from thousands of near-death experiences.

Standard Steps:

1. Resourceful State
2. Establish Rapport and Create Initial Frame of the "Being"
3. Specify the Goal
4. Recall the Original Event
5. Gain Permission to Heal
6. Rise Up and Meet the Light Being
7. Heal the Event as a Film
8. Recommit to Your Mission
9. Test and Future Pace

Detailed Description of the Steps of the "Light Being Process"

1. Resourceful State

Enter a resourceful state and remember that one day you too will have a near-death experience. With a touch of humor, remind yourself that a little more compassion in the here and now will positively influence your later life review.

2. Establish Rapport and Create Initial Frame of the "Being"

Establish rapport with the person you are guiding. Remember that this person will one day also have the "real" experience. Explain the Light Being Process, perhaps using an example of a near-death experience.

Say to the person: "If you believe near-death experiences happen in the brain, then you know that the brain region responsible for this experience and the feeling of complete love is ready for activation."

"If you believe the experience is spiritual in nature, then the true Light Being loves you, is here for you now, and wants your healing. This process will work regardless of what you believe. I will guide you through it as if there is a 'Light Being' in some form."

3. Specify the Goal

"What would you like to change? What is the problem you wish to change, and how would you like it to be different?" … "As you think about it now, notice the unpleasant emotion connected with your old reaction to this topic. You’ll notice when this changes, won’t you?"

4. Recall the Original Event

"You can imagine seeing your whole life as a film. In this film, there is an original event that led to this problem. If it were healed, the problem would be resolved. Somewhere deep in your memory, you know this event. If you did know it, would it be in this life or a prior one?"

If the answer is "prior," ask whether the person means a past life, time in the womb, or family history. Once clarified, ask: "And if you knew, at what age did this happen to you/the person?"

5. Gain Permission to Heal

"You may know that such a problematic event can be healed through a near-death experience, where a being of love and light guides one through a life review. Is it okay for you to heal the event in this way?" If yes, continue to Step 6.

If the person says no, use a version of a standard parts reframe: "I know a part of you thinks it’s not okay to heal this event. If that part considers its higher intention — perhaps protecting you, ensuring you learn something, or change behavior — I want you to realize that anything short of full healing, as the universe (or 'your brain' if the person prefers a physiological model) has intended for you, does not fully allow you to learn, grow, and feel safe as you now desire. Does that part of you understand this now?"

6. Rise Up and Meet the Light Being

"Very good. Now imagine rising out of your body, floating far above. Look down at your body. Can you see it clearly?" … "And next to you, as you now recognize, is a being of pure light and love. If you knew, who or what is this being?" Use the name given by the person from now on. "Now allow the Light Being to let its perfect love and acceptance flow through you until you can feel it."

Allow the light to enter your body so you are filled with love beyond imagination. Can you feel it yet? Take as much time as you need." Use the earlier reframe again if needed. Let the person hear the reframe spoken by the Light Being.

7. Heal the Event as a Film

"The being will now guide you to float far above the specific event you are healing. In a moment, it will play a film of the event in fast-forward, from beginning to end. It will be so fast that it takes no time, yet you will know everything that occurred, including the consequences for yourself and others."

"As this happens, bathe in the love that radiates from the Light Being. This light teaches you to respond to the event with love. It shows you new possibilities, which you may accept or ignore. Your task is simply to know that you are loved beyond all limits, and it is this love that heals the event now."

"Take a moment now and allow it to happen! On an unconscious level, you are learning from this event — and this learning heals you. Learning is love. Just let me know when you realize the event is fully healed. Do you already feel that?" If there are difficulties, let the Light Being repeat the reframe.

8. Recommit to Your Mission

"The Light Being knows there is a reason you are here. Healing this event helps you fulfill your life mission. The being can help you feel how important your mission is and how healing supports you in accomplishing everything you came here for."

"Take all the time you need to feel how the Light Being fills you with the energy you need to fulfill your mission. When you're ready, feel yourself returning to your body. Feel that you are ready to live your new life. Welcome back."

9. Test and Future Pace

"I now want you to thank the Light Being — knowing it is always with you. Feel the love streaming into you from above as you think about the situation that once caused you difficulty. How does it feel now?"

If the person recognizes the change, say: "Yes. It has changed. Now realize that future situations that used to trouble you are also different. Very good!"
