With Gratitude

This is not an easy thing for me to write, but I believe it is necessary. I have closed my practice.

Over the past several months, I have spent considerable time going back to the roots and underlying beliefs of the systems I was practicing. Much of what I learned was new to me. Some of the language I had encountered for years suddenly looked very different when I understood where it came from and what it represented.

I had to ask a very simple question:
Can I reconcile this work with my Christian faith?

After prayer, study, and much reflection, my answer is … no.

Scripture tells us to “test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). I believe that includes the things we have accepted, the things we have practiced, and even the things we have sincerely believed were helping others. When I began testing this work more carefully against Scripture and the faith I profess, I could no longer ignore what I was seeing.

I am deeply sorry for having participated in this work and for any way in which I may have encouraged another person to follow a path that I now believe was not spiritually beneficial for them. I did not understand what I understand today, and I take responsibility for that. The fact that my intentions were good does not make the decision to participate in something right.

I am especially grateful that the Holy Spirit has continued to guide me, correct me, and help me recognize where I was mistaken. I would much rather acknowledge an error and turn away from it than defend something simply because I have invested years in it.

Scripture is very clear about practices involving divination and the seeking of hidden knowledge through means that are not of God. Deuteronomy 18:10–12 warns God’s people against such practices. I can no longer separate those warnings from what I have learned about the methods I was using. For me, continuing would mean knowingly compromising my faith.

So I am closing this chapter completely. I will not be continuing these services, teaching any of the methods I used and/or developed, or maintaining a community around them. This website will no longer be used for Emotion Code, Body Code, or other energy healing services.  I will not be maintaining comments or ongoing contact through this site. I am not writing this to debate my decision or to persuade anyone to agree with me. I simply believe I owe it to those who entrusted their concerns to me to be honest about why I am no longer here.

To those I have worked with over the years, thank you for allowing me the privilege. I am grateful for the people I have met and the conversations we have shared, even as I now recognize that the path I was walking was not the path I should have continued.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My prayer is that God will guide each of you into His truth and protect you from anything that is not of Him. May you know His grace and mercy, and may you seek Him above every method, system, practitioner, or promise of healing.

“Test everything; hold fast what is good.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:21

“For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”
— Deuteronomy 4:24

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He guide your steps, give you discernment, and lead you ever closer to Himself.

With sincerity and peace,
Debi
