Page 1. .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 session, the
distant client relaxes on a bed or chair for the energy work after dialoguing
with Cree by phone—THE CLIENT HAVING MADE THE PHONE CALL that began the
session. (Cree is a noted remote healer and has been selected three times to
participate in National Institutes of Health funded studies of distant 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

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

oriented. In meditatively oriented clients, his energy work is more likely

harmony and order.
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.)
