What is PSYCH-K® and How Does it Work?

Founded by Robert M. Williams, M.A., and endorsed by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., PSYCH-K is a rapid belief-change method that goes beyond affirmations, positive thinking, and traditional self-help programs. It offers a simple yet powerful spiritual process to quickly transform beliefs that may be holding you back from the life you desire.

Drawing from a unique blend of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Milton Erickson-style hypnotherapy, Educational Kinesiology, Acupressure, Reiki, and psycho-spiritual practices, PSYCH-K works by synchronizing both hemispheres of the brain to create a Whole-Brain State. This alignment unlocks what Dr. Bruce Lipton refers to as “Super Learning,” making it easier to replace self-limiting beliefs with new ones that support your goals.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious controls over 95% of your reality. If you’ve felt stuck or frustrated, it’s likely because your subconscious beliefs don’t align with your conscious goals. When this happens, it can block progress in areas like physical health, relationships, finances, and joy—no matter how hard you try.

“The ‘secret of life' is belief. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control our lives. PSYCH-K is a set of simple, self-empowering processes to change your beliefs and perceptions that impact your life at a cellular level.”
