The Hawkins Protocol

So what is the Hawkins Protocol?

Over the years I have trained in many different modalities and I have found them all nto be very effective each in their own way. The Hawkins Protocol emerged when I began to incorporate some of these modalities into the framework of the Kabbalah Tree of Life. It was fascinating for me to see how well these therapies combined together to become something that was so much more.

Today we are well aware of the fact that everything that exists is, in fact, in a state of vibration. We are also aware of the fact that individual essential oils, flower remedies, colors, sounds and crystals each have their own unique vibration. Add to this the fact that the Kabbalah Tree of Life consists of ten Sefirot, each with its own special sphere of influence. When an essential oil blend, a Bach Flower Remedy, a color, a sound and a crystal are harmonized to resonate with a specific Sefirah and then experienced simultaneously a harmonious balance is entrained in the person and a return to wholeness is encouraged. When one undertakes this Return Journey through the Tree of Life with an open heart and mind, leaving all expectations behind, the experience can be truly amazing.

A session starts with you choosing a color from the Color Wheel. You are then enveloped in the color, sound, essential oil blend, Bach Flower Remedy and crystal associated with that choice for around 30 to 40 minutes. This will be followed by a short resting period to allow your body to fully integrate all these frequencies. After the session there will be an opportunity for you to discuss any of your experiences if you so wish. You may also wish to take the opportunity of journaling your experiences while enjoying a cup of tea.

My experiences with The Hawkins Protocol, both in facilitating sessions for myself and others, have shown me that no two sessions are alike. Everyone experiences it in their own unique way. Even those people, who have experienced The Hawkins Protocol several times, either over a longer period of time or in a series of sessions, find that each and every session is different and unique for that day. When one considers how differently one can feel from one day to the next, this does make sense. I did find that when people experienced The Hawkins Protocol in a series, over a relatively short period of time, they often tended to choose the same color each time. However the interesting thing was that even though they were experiencing the same stimuli each session, their experiences were distinctly different. Each session is unique in itself and when entered into with an open heart and open mind healing, clearing, balancing, shifting and moving forward on all levels of body, mind and spirit can be experienced.

For example if the color green is chosen this relates to the Sefirah of Tiferet.
Tiferet is the perfectly symmetrical balancing center-point of The Tree of Life.
The crystal is Aventurine.
The Bach Remedy is Scleranthus.
The note of F#.
The essential oil blend Laurel, Lavender, Palmarosa, Rosewood.

For those interested in playing with this at home, my book, The Hawkins Protocol, A Return Journey Through the Tree of Life is now available on the Other Products Page of the website. In the first part of the book all the underlying concepts of the Protocol are discussed. Then each Sefirah is expanded on, including information on the color, sound, essential oil blend, Bach Flower Remedies and crystal associated with that Sefirah and finally it is all put together so that the reader can created their own session.
