Cree’s Therapy and
Its
Development
Lorenzo Cree’s spiritual and
subtle-energy therapy supports
and promotes:
 Healing and recovery from grave illness,
injury, and disorder
Stress-response reduction,
mental-emotional stability, and mindfulness/centered-ness
Renewal of well being, self-actualization,
and spiritual upliftment
Comfort and resilience during stressful
and taxing medical procedures
Relief of suffering and anxiousness in
clients with chronic disorders and /or terminal prognoses
Cree’s therapy is integrative
and holistic.
To promote the development of higher states of harmony and wholeness
in the bodymindspirit, the therapy incorporates four perspectives—(1) subtle-energetic,
(2) deep-spiritual/meta-spiritual, (3)
mental-emotional, and (4) physical. While Cree therefore draws on techniques
and knowledge from various branches of complementary and alternative
medicine, integrative medicine, psychology, and spirituality, his emphasis is
on subtle-energy healing.
Cree’s aim is to provide
healing-support, rather than render quick miracle cures.
Nevertheless, many clients supported by this
powerful therapy have experienced complete healings, remissions of illnesses,
and profound self-actualizations. For some of these clients such developments
occurred quickly, sometimes startlingly so. However, for most of them gradual
development of well being was involved, unfolding both during and following
their courses of regularly recurring therapy sessions. Still other clients,
although not having found the cures for which they had hoped, have found
significant relief from suffering and greater peace of mind.
Cree urges clients to keep up
their relationships with their physicians,
their
licensed/certified practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine,
and any counselors or psychotherapists whom they may have been seeing. He
believes that the treatment and guidance of these professionals should be
continued while his subtle-energy therapy is providing support for
healing and well being. However, he in no way discourages clients from
seeking second opinions or seeking out new practitioners in whom they can
feel confident. (Although he must require, as a precondition of his
therapy, that his clients don’t stop their physicians’ care, he sympathizes
with clients who must make “heroic efforts” to obtain full communication and
attention from their physicians, or to goad them into becoming up-to-date on
medical research.)
Doctors’ patients referred to
Cree receive support
that
can promote their responding optimally to their medical treatment. Bolstered
by Cree’s complementary therapy, many clients have undergone stressful
medical procedures—such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and certain
medication programs—with surprising degrees of comfort and resiliency,
experiencing less than the expected amounts of side effects.
When referred to Cree, psychotherapists’ clients and psychiatrists’ patients
often begin to progress more easily through the integration- and
growth-processes that their counselors are guiding (often with “cognitive”
therapy). Some clients supported by this work have arrived at a point where
their medications can be reduced gradually or discontinued under their
physicians’ direction.
Cree’s therapy also benefits
clients who are already in excellent health.
It provides subtle-energy support for clients who are pursuing
excellence, meeting large challenges, or dealing with stress. This
category of healthy clients has included excelling athletes and
high-achieving professionals, executives and entrepreneurs. It has also
included autistic, developmentally challenged, and learning-challenged
clients. Many healthy adults and children living with long-term
limitations—such as from birth defects, toxin exposure, physical injuries, or
surgery—have enjoyed physical and mental well-being maximized by Cree’s work.
These healthy clients have felt more at ease, centered, and mindful following
their therapy sessions. In such harmonious states, life energies are better
conserved, less dispersed or exhausted, so that they can be expressed as high
vitality, physical stamina, mental resourcefulness, sharper perception, and
emotional stability.
What to expect in a session:
An initial standard (as opposed to special )
therapy session begins with 20 to 40 minutes of dialogue (10 to 40 for children)
and then continues with 40 to 60 minutes of energy work (15 to 30 for infants
and children). When a session is held in Cree’s studio, the energy
work is conducted with the client lying on a cushioned therapy table or
comfortably seated. The client is dressed in everyday clothes, minus shoes
and any bulky belt. Provision of a nursing assistant or other aide, if needed
for safe movement, is the client’s responsibility. Therapist’s hands may
contact the client during half of the energy work (with no procedures being
likely to offend any client’s modesty).
During the remaining energy work, Cree’s hands may be positioned as far as
five feet away from the client’s body as he works with the subtle-energy
field surrounding it. Relaxing background music and simple oral spiritual
phrases or prayers are often used for invoking healing and creating an
atmosphere conducive to healing. When the standard session is a nonlocal,
distant-healing (or “distance healing) session, the distant client
relaxes on a bed or chair for the energy work after dialoguing with Cree by
phone. (Cree is a noted remote healer and has been selected three times to
participate in National Institutes of Health funded studies
of distant healing (or “distance healing) as described on this web site’s page two, Distant Healing.)
Clients may experience sensations.
These are the same sensations or similar as are commonly
experienced with other popular healing systems that, in Cree’s understanding,
consist largely, as does his own energy work, of subtle-energy support for
natural healing. (In Cree's view,
such systems include: [1] acupressure
and shiatsu; [2] acupuncture; [3] Bioenergy Therapy, as brought to the
USA by Mietek Wirkus; [4] Healing
Touch; [5] Huna healing; [6] Jin Shin Jyutsu; [7] Johrei; [8] LaHo-Chi; [9]
Polarity Therapy; [10] Pranic
Healing®; [11] Qigong in its
external-emission aspect; [12]
Richard Gordon's Quantum-Touch; [13]
Reiki and "Usui Reiki";
[14] The Reconnection™ / Reconnective Healing® [registered trademarks
of Eric Pearl, D.C.]; [15]
Therapeutic Touch; and [16] Touch for Health®.) Cree's subtle-energy work is more likely
than many to produce strong sensations in clients who are kinesthetically
oriented. In meditatively oriented clients, his energy work is more likely
than most to catalyze deep insight-experiences or profound feelings of
harmony and order.Cree’s subtle-energy work is more likely than many to produce

During any given session, a client may (but need not) experience sensations
in parts or all of the body, such as apparent temperature changes, “buzzing”
and tingling, and/or subtle sensations occasionally described as "like
magnetic fields must feel". The most common experience is a refreshing
sense of serenity and relaxation, and dozing sometimes occurs. Nevertheless,
emotions associated with long-buried painful experiences and issues may arise
as part of natural (and quite safe) processes of self-healing and clearing.
Cree practices techniques of his own design—
as is usually the case with each of the world’s (hundreds of
thousands of) naturally highly-gifted healers. Some of his techniques
are similar to procedures used in the energy-healing systems enumerated (in italics)
above, although his fundamental approach differs from the basic
approaches of them all. He works with the deep subtle energies that underlie
physical and mental form and function. These energies include the meridian
energies, with which acupuncturists and Touch for Health therapists work, and
the etheric-aura energies surrounding the body, with which Healing Touch and
Therapeutic Touch practitioners may work. They also include the body’s
chakra-center energies, addressed by many energy-healing schools.
(Instruments and techniques have been developed to detect all of these
energies, as discussed in the book, Vibrational Medicine: New Choices for
Healing Ourselves by Richard Gerber, M.D. More books covering science,
subtle energies, and subtle-energy healing are cited on this web site’s Page
2: Distant Healing.) Even while he does do work with all of
the above energies…
Cree emphasizes working with
even-deeper, subtler energies—i.e., spiritual energies.
He feels that at these more-rarefied levels of energy, his work naturally
merges with or incorporates prayer, and that the deepest energy healing is
spiritual healing. Thus, although his therapy is primarily considered
energy-healing work—much like that of Dean Kraft, Mietek Wirkus, Gene
Egidio, Adam (DreamHealer), Mitchell May, Rosalyn Bruyere, Effie Poy Chow and Oskar
Estebany—it is also closely akin to purely spiritual healing
systems, including the Hebrew Cabala / Kabbalah-based and the Islamic
Sufi-based healing systems so popular today.
Similarly, his approach shares elements with highly effective Christian
prayer healers—like Francis McNutt, Father DiOrio, Padre Pio, Ron Roth,
Kathryn Kuhlman, Willard Fuller, and Ambrose and Olga Worrall. As his energy work has deepened over
the decades, it has achieved the depth of profoundest prayer—the depth of
focusing on the Divine within the client. Just as Mother Teresa of Calcutta
always served the Lord as He appeared within—and as—each patient, and just as
Cree’s mentor, Mata Amritanandamayi, always is serving God within each
supplicant that She comforts or heals, so also does Cree intensely invoke the
Divine Source of healing within each of his clients.
Cree’s approach does not
emphasize narrowed focus,
thus differing from the approaches of many energy-healing
schools. He does not primarily focus on, or target, the congestions and the
depletions that may appear in clients’ energy meridians or in their
etheric-aura fields. Nor does he narrowly target any reversed polarities or
closed energy chakras. He views all of these subtle energy field phenomena as
symptoms that are correctly expressing, or faithfully reflecting, deeper
aspects of the client—i.e., deeper “disharmonies”, from a pragmatic view. He
does not concentrate on "fixing" them, be it by reversing,
boosting, opening, balancing, or otherwise altering them. Indeed, he greatly
minimizes the using of such relatively invasive and manipulative procedures.
Instead, Cree gently helps
each client re-access and re-entrain with extremely high-frequency subtle
energy—
the
most fundamental and deep life-essence energy within. This in turn, supports
and promotes the innate tendency of the client's subtle-energy field to spontaneously
return to harmony, balance, and abundance. More strongly supported, the field
unfolds organically at its most-natural pace, re-harmonizing in a natural
sequence of steps. Healthier physical forms and functions may then
"coalesce around” the re-harmonized energy-body “template”. Also
promoted by the raised vibrational state, is the client’s innate drive and
ability to transform distressing mental/emotional patterns via experiencing
them fully, mindfully—and without both the resistance and the dramatic
overindulgence that arise from identification with, or “being wrapped up in”,
those patterns.
Broken bones, sprained
ankles, burned or bruised organs, tissues recovering from surgical repair…
These
are some of the conditions shown over the last three decades to be responsive
to subtle-energy healing work, whether performed by nurses, healers, or even
by lay beginners. Any new graduate of a weekend introductory course in any of
the popular energy-healing systems is likely to see some good results for
his/her efforts when practicing on friends. Such results commonly include
acceleration of natural healing, postural improvement, and calming of
stress-responses.
Cree’s ultra-deep, high-vibrational work can provide similar, but sometimes
far more powerful support, often serving as the resource of last resort in
severe cases or in cases calling for the ending of clients’ cycles of repetitive
calamities. (Some of Cree’s clients have even shed disorders as
serious as cancerous tumors, systemic dysfunctions, severe depression, and
effects of toxic contamination and birth defects.)
In 1967, Cree began to
tentatively explore a native gift as a subtle-energy healer,
and in 1972, he began a small, part-time, free public practice,
focusing a third of his work on animals. (He still does healing service for
other species, viewing them as equals to humans and considering such service
to be an integral part of exercising responsible “dominion over” them.) Over
the next few years, he became particularly interested in how some human
clients would apparently experience spectacular healings—but only to have
their maladies reappear, or be replaced by unrelated, yet equally severe
disorders in several months or years. (Around the world, studies reveal this
same disappointing tendency to return to lower states of order in many
clients of such subtle-energy, or spiritual, healers—and indeed, of
conventional practitioners as well). Cree also took note that some clients
seemed prone to receiving recurrent injuries.
In 1981, Cree began
developing his approach of contacting clients’ deepest subtle-energy levels.
In this approach, support is given to any naturally arising
deep-energy transformations. Such transformations may develop slowly,
testing clients’ forbearance. Assisted by dialogue at energy therapy
sessions—and/or by the work of any counselors being seen by the client—these
deep-energy transformations yield higher-vibrational states that facilitate
the spontaneous unfolding of new self-insights, outlooks on life, or
wills-to-live. Old implicit beliefs may be uncovered and viewed in new light.
In many cases where such deep energy transformations have occurred, their
expressions, or reflections, have followed as greater physical and/or mental
well being. In many other cases where dying was apparently inevitable, Cree’s
therapy, by virtue of its attendant transformations, has supported deeply
peaceful, joyous transitions.
To support energetic and
mental-emotional transformations, Cree uses psychological techniques and
philosophic dialogue.
He
occasionally uses techniques drawn from or paralleling:
(1) Daniel J. Benor, M.D.’s Wholistic Hybrid of EMDR & EFT (WHEE) ---
which synergistically (and safely/gently) combines elements of Eye Movement
Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) along with Emotional Freedom
Techniques (EFT),
(2) Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP),
(3) Connirae Andreas’ “Core State Transformation” (CST), and
(4) Brandon Bays’ Emotional Journey techniques.
Sessions often include discussion of the experience of life from the
viewpoint of that most ancient of yogas, the advaita-based
yoga-of-awareness as expounded by Gangaji, Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Steven
Harrison (Doing Nothing), Richard Moss, M.D., and Jean Klein, M.D. (The
Ease of Being). That viewpoint rests upon the foundation of the nondual
understanding, the apperception of Unity (as pointed to by Ramesh S.
Balsekar, Wei Wu Wei, Nisargadata, and Ramana Maharshi).
The sessions often include
verbal exercises to “practice presence” or “cultivate mindfulness”
in relation with clients’ distresses, symptoms, or other
dysfunctional/painful realities of any sort. This “presence-work” can
parallel the Buddhist mindfulness-based approaches of Saki Santorelli,
Ed.D., Mark Epstein M.D., Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., Pema Chödrön and Thich Nhat
Hahn. Or, the client who is ready for
it is gently guided even deeper to an even more natural, easy
“staying-put-with” the troubling emotion, dilemma, perception, question, belief,
or physical pain or state. This can be a meeting it via inquiry/scrutiny; it
can be a “diving deep into” it; or it can be a full engagement but “with
detachment”.
This parallels the approaches of Jed McKenna (“autolysis” in Spiritual
Enlightenment…), U.G. Krishnamurti (and perhaps J. Krishnamurti), and Eli
Jaxon-Bear—as well as Gangaji, Tolle, Katie, and Harrison, all mentioned
above. At it’s most delightful unfolding, the process becomes a shifting of
emphasis to the natural openness, the stillness-heart of the individual, as
in Jean Klein’s “listening”.
Cree works similarly with dialogue to support children and their families in
regaining mental-emotional well being. In this, he is influenced by insights
of Joseph Chilton Pearce (The Magical Child), Alice Miller (The
Drama of the Gifted Child), Jan Hunt (The Natural Child, Parenting
from the Heart), and Virginia Satir.
Cree has never heavily
emphasized the popular body-language/energy-anatomy theories—
of symptoms and disorders as being reducible to non-serving
beliefs, stances, and/or chakra states—as put forth by Christiane Northrup,
M.D.; Carolyn Myss, Ph.D.; Mona Lisa Schultz, Ph.D./M.D.; Louise Hay; and
Thorwald Dethlefsen. Rather, he has emphasized the theory that any client’s
symptoms, disorders, or failures to heal may be serving unsuspected purposes,
or strategies, for the mind-body-spirit organism (as expounded by NLP, by
Francis McNutt, and especially by John E. Sarno, M.D. in The Mindbody Prescription).
Looking within themselves for these purposes or strategies—for more
personality parts, or hidden aspects of themselves—while supported by Cree’s
vibration-raising energy work, many clients have experienced major
self-healings. In the final analysis then, Cree does agree that it is often
as Carolyn Myss states in her book, Anatomy of the Spirit: “When a
person seeks to see more, healing is inevitable.” Cree works with a deep
“negatively entropic” energy that promotes higher states of harmony and
order, and so, of mindfulness and insightfulness in self-investigation.
Since his therapy’s
refinement in 1981, long-time clients of Cree are even more satisfied:
Clients
formerly loyal to Cree’s original work—narrowly targeted at fixing
(often-recurrent) maladies—now find that his work has become more powerful
since it has evolved into broader, high-vibrational wholeness-support. Many
of these clients stay in generally good health now but continue to take
periodic therapy sessions for renewal, maintenance of high vitality,
"rejuvenation", or ongoing self-actualization and transformation.
Some of them schedule sessions in support of special projects, like
marathon-race training or major mountain climbs. Others find Cree’s work to
be highly conducive to their efforts in meditation, yoga, tai chi, or Qigong
exercise.
Cree can now invoke an even
deeper level of energy since his meeting Ammachi
(also known as Mata Amritanandamayi).
Cree first encountered this humble Master Healer in India in
1996, and he has been in her presence as often as possible ever since—usually
for a few days once or twice each year. He feels that through influence of
Ammachi—or “Amma” (to use a more warm and casual expression)— he has realized
a great depth of healing energy/Holy Spirit/Christ’s
Love. He is strongly guided by Amma’s inspiration and the advice Amma gave
him on his healing work in 1998, blessing his work and advising his serving
even-greater numbers of people. Invoking Amma’s vibration at each session has
expanded his effectiveness. It has also helped him become able to work longer
workweeks (sometimes 112 hours) and to successfully handle types of cases
formerly seen as too severe or “just not meant to be”.
It is, in part, because of Amma’s influence that Cree accepts clients on a
first-come, first-served, basis rather than on a basis of ability to pay (up
to a point determined by his minimal material needs). Cree characterizes past
periods in his life focused (quite successfully) on material gain as
“spiritual poverty-consciousness”, as compared to the
“abundance-consciousness of heart” he has rediscovered under Amma’s
influence. The mysterious, ever-surprising meeting of the material needs of
the therapist who fully serves others—so that there is always just enough—is
a “luxury” he has entered into guided by Amma’s example.
Amma is a great master of nonduality-advaita-zen, though often
unsuspected-ly so, since—in Cree’s view—Amma targets perhaps 99% of her
speaking to the 99% of spiritual seekers not yet tuned to that ultimate view.
Cree considers Amma not only as the deepest of healers, but also as the
deepest of teachers, teaching by example.
Cree feels
that most people have innate potential to act as energy healers
and that aptitude and talent vary greatly
here as in other areas of life. He believes that relatively low potential in
energy-healing ability is often well compensated for, by high potential in
other life-contributive areas. Cree sometimes mentors or takes as short-term
apprentices, persons with exceptional healing gifts. They may participate in
some of his clients’ care with him. (In Cree’s view, special healing gifts
are not so much a matter of ability to channel subtle-energy—a near-universal
ability, possessed in varying degrees. They are more a matter of a fierce
love, an unbending intent to honor and support the deep wholeness of others.)
