ThetaHealing®: The Money You’ll Spend Never Existed
ThetaHealing® promises to tap into your brain’s theta activity to cure illness, regrow limbs, and get you to admit that money is an illusion. But only after you’ve given them actual money.
Vianna Stibal, who created ThetaHealing®, claims she cured herself of the cancer she had in her thigh bone using her trademark-registered method of healing. Except that her ex-husband testified in court that she “was not definitely told that she had cancer.” In fact, her medical records had biopsy results that indicated “a suspicion of cancer, but were not diagnostic.” It’s easy to heal yourself of a condition when you never had it in the first place.
This court document exists, by the way, because someone successfully sued her for fraud, breach of contract, and punitive damages. The reason? Stibal was offering a doctoral degree in ThetaHealing®, and the person who would eventually sue her enrolled, only to question the validity of their degree later on.
Courses in ThetaHealing® are still available. A few days ago, the Montreal chapter of ThetaHealing® was offering a wealth consciousness course to teach you, among other things, that “money is just an illusion.” But don’t go believing that until you’ve paid them 250 Canadian dollars for the course, on top of 500 American dollars “payable directly to the teacher.”
A BBC Newsnight piece on ThetaHealing® referred to it as “faith healing”, the idea that prayer to a divine presence can shoo away illness. At a meeting in the United Kingdom, Vianna Stibal claimed it was possible for ThetaHealing® to grow back an ovary and an amputated leg. And we thought that Jilly Juice lady was wacky for suggesting as much on Dr. Phil….
ThetaHealing® combines these three blades into one superweapon but it remains a double-edged sword, and that’s a big problem in the world of alternative medicine. When an intervention promises self-empowerment, it can also be used to blame the victim. That course on wealth consciousness alludes to releasing worries, empowering you with successful habits, and gaining a better understanding of quantum physics to “know with certainty you are creating your reality.” But if you are in full control of your life and illness strikes, who’s to blame?
