Aaron Singleton’s Interview 2023 with Elizabeth “Beth” Wright

Q. What inspired you to start your business, The Way to Balance?

A. I was working as a welder in Charleston, SC in the Naval shipyard and I knew that was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I thought about going to school to become a physical therapist, a welding engineer, or a masseuse, and I picked massage therapy.

 As a therapist, what first intrigued me was people’s emotions would start to surface as a result of the massage. I also did acupressure and some people’s past life memories would start to surface.

 That lead me to learn more about the mind / body connection. I read a lot of books and became a hypnotherapist to help people access past life memories and childhood trauma.

 The results I saw were that people experienced deep and profound emotional release and physical pain that they had for years was gently leaving the body.

 Q. How did things progress for you?

 The next step was when I started to have energy come through my hands for people on the table that I couldn’t explain. I had no idea what I was doing at the time but the energy that came through me began to stimulate physical and emotional healing and past life memories for my patients.

 In multiple sessions with clients, I would be drawn to just stand with my hands above them, which was a challenge because I was supposed to be giving them a massage – so this caused a battle in my brain about what I was supposed to be doing.

 I was reluctant but willing at the same time to pursue it. For example, I had a young guy in his early 20’s that was born with cerebral palsy and as I did acupressure on him, his cerebral palsy began to dissolve. At the beginning he had braces on and he had to throw his hips out to walk. After 10 months of treatments with acupressure, he was walking with a cane and had no braces on his legs.

 The defining moment for stepping into using energy was when I was working with a client who had glass embedded into her chest from a car accident. The windshield shattered and the glass embedded into her, as she was wearing a low-cut evening dress. As I held my hand above her during the session about one and a half feet, tiny shards of glass began to push through the skin and come out. She would get off the table, go into the bathroom, remove the shards that had been pushed through, get back on the table and we would get more glass out. We got all the glass out in 4 or 5 sessions. The amazing thing is, that as the glass came out there was never even a drop of blood.

 I began to use the energy, massage and acupressure all together, I allowed the energy to come through when it was needed, I didn’t try and do it, it would just come out my hands when needed.

 It took a number of years to be able to call on the energy and work with it, client after client.

 Q. What is your mission?

A. First and foremost, my mission is to help my clients live healthier, happier pain free lives. The bigger mission is to share my knowledge, educate and open people’s eyes to the greater possibilities of what we can do with energy as humans.

 Q. What are some of those possibilities?

 A. We can mend bones very quickly, I had a client whose ankle bone had been broken off and the doctors wanted to surgically re-attach it. She came to me for a couple of sessions and that bone found itself back to where it came from, reattached, and from follow-up x-rays, there was no sign it had been sheared off.

 We can stimulate circulation, blood flow and lymphatic flow. We can remove the energy from trauma that is still stuck in the muscles or bones. Trauma to me, looks like a bruise in the body and it may be small or as big as a fist. Sometimes I see it shrinking or disappearing when I’m channeling the energy. Sometimes I see it disappear, like a cloud disappears. When that happens, all the surrounding tissue that is involved relaxes and releases tension.

 Migraines and other headaches – the trauma in the spine from whiplash or a fall may be pulling or causing a pulling of the muscles all the way up into the base of the skull which cause headaches. There may be spinal misalignments. There may be sacrum and tailbone misalignments, all pulling up and causing headaches. The misalignment of the atlas and trauma into the area of the neck is a major reason for headaches. I am able to adjust those and clear them for people. Concussions from many years past can also be cleared, which also can result in a reduction or elimination of headaches and brain fog.

 Over the years I’ve developed the skills to be able to do all of my work at a distance. What I found is that distance, if I’m standing near someone, or if I’m a thousand miles away, the energy is the same and the effectiveness is the same.

 Q. What kind of diseases and issues do you treat?

 A. Any disease can be worked on. An example is Multiple Sclerosis, which for most people leaves lesions on the brain, but with energy work, you can totally eliminate lesions, which show up in the scans. I had a client here in town and the lesions in the brain disappeared for good.

 Cancer is not that difficult to work with. It is first determining whether the cancer is being caused by a bacteria, virus, fungus, toxins or emotions or a combination of those. So, if a person is holding fear or sadness in their lungs, they may develop a holding pattern and this is where they would entrap toxins, so I would work on releasing the emotions and the toxins.  The energy work I do helps people to release toxins, but there are other things that help too.  Some people need to clean up their diet, take supplements, and exercise. It’s not as difficult as most people think it is when you have the right combination of things to do. Catching cancer in its early stage is much easier to clear than something that is already fully metastasized. In some cases, I have been able to identify the toxins in the body that are potentially cancer-causing by just the smell. It’s a precancerous fermentation smell – it’s slightly toxic. And I sometimes smell that even if we are on the phone.

 Q. What are your thoughts about traditional cancer treatments?

 A. Traditional cancer treatment ideally should be the last resort. If we can address cancer in its early stages, we should never get to chemo and radiation. People need to be more aware of their bodies and take responsibility for their own health.

 If we’ve already gotten to the point of needing chemo, radiation and surgery, energy work can be used to remove anesthesia, trauma, and shock from surgeries, to remove chemo and radiation from lingering in the body and creating a new cancer.

 Q. How much of a role do emotions play in diseases and sickness?

 A. When it comes to most major illnesses, emotions may be 80% of the cause. It’s the stress put on the body by being in an emotional or multiple emotional states at one time that causes tension, and stagnation of energy, or blocks, which potentially causes illness. To give a simple example, if we are holding sadness or anger in the colon, then for many people that will result in constipation, which may result in hemorrhoids or even colon cancer. Other factors such as dehydration or lack of elimination influence the issue, but emotions would be the root cause.

 Q. How do you work with a person who may not be in touch with their emotions?

 A. A person must be willing to look at the unknown. That can be done through hypnosis, acupressure, energy work, talk therapies or meditations, but awareness is key. We need to know what we’re looking at, so we know what we are releasing. Now for many people, the fear of letting go of their fear, letting go of their anger, sadness or guilt is bigger than the actual act of letting go.

 It’s the fear of “I won’t be in control anymore if I let go of my anger and control” or “I’m afraid to let go of my fear, because my fear is the protector, and if my protector leaves, I may be vulnerable, so I’m afraid to let it go.” People may be afraid to let go of sadness, because “If I let go of the loss of my grandmother, then I’m letting go of my grandmother”, which is not the case.

 Letting go of guilt, we blame ourselves and we hang onto blame, and we say, “I could never forgive myself for what I did” – so the fear of letting go is the bigger problem. If they could forgive themselves, that would mean they would experience freedom and tension leaving the body. Organs, glands and muscles relaxed because they weren’t under the stress of holding on. If a person can’t let go of the guilt, and the guilt is in the colon, that’s why they can’t let go and have normal bowel movements. They literally can’t let go.

 The biggest one for people is anger – causing TMJ or clenching and grinding of teeth –that means you’re still trying to work out the unresolved anger in your sleep.

 Sadness – is the overall suppression of joy for many. We don’t allow ourselves to fully experience happiness in our lives. We put a wall up to block out more sadness from coming in, but the wall also blocks joy and happiness. In some cases, it’s a wall around the heart, in other cases it’s just a wall of protection to not let anything come in that is going to cause us more anger, sadness or hurt.

 Q. How do you help people dismantle their wall?

 A. I try to get people to get a sense of the wall, how tall it is, how thick it is, what material is it made of. A mud brick wall will come down more quickly than a steel wall. If we can visualize it then we can use imagination to use the tools to bring it down like a bulldozer, wrecking ball, or dynamite. Once the wall is down, we can then visualize a clean-up crew, putting the debris on trucks and hauling it away.

 Q. How important is it for you to be healed to work on others?

 I started to work on myself from the very beginning, not even realizing what I was doing. I received acupressure, massage and hypnotherapy when I was studying those modalities in school and things started to release on my own. I didn’t even know I had emotional blockages; I just became comfortable working on what came up. I realized I needed to do work. It was later that I realized that all the work I did on myself allowed me to be a better healer.

 Q. Do you think this work ever ends?

 A. I think there will always be a little bit of emotional energy buried somewhere in the layers of the onion. Once we get the biggest part moved on out, the little pieces that pop up later are much more easily handled. But will it ever end? Personally, I don’t believe it will. There can always be something that triggers us. For example, if we have a passion for saving animals, then the trigger will be animal abuse, which will trigger our anger. Then we need to do more work on our anger. If we are passionate about the environment, then someone who is disrespectful of the land will trigger our anger. In that respect, it may never end. If we can find peace no matter what is going on and see it as part of a cycle, then it won’t trigger us.

 Q. How has your practice evolved over the years?

 A. In the beginning my practice was a very hands-on practice, acupressure, massage, stretching, craniosacral therapy, myofascial release and as I developed my energy healing skills, I found that I could do all of these and more without touching the body. So, the energy work allowed me to not only work on the muscles and bones, but also allows me to work on organs and glands and arteries.

 Working on energy fields came later. Initially I didn’t get involved with chakras, the aura or energy fields. As I began to study more, it became apparent that those were just as important as the physical body, in some cases even more important. For instance, if someone has the trauma memory of the appendix or a kidney being removed stuck in the bio-plasmic field, they may be having kidney or appendix pain that is coming from that field, but felt in the body. I remove the memory from the bio-plasmic field and the pain in the body is eliminated.

 For some people that would be called phantom pain, which can also come from emotions in the body. You know you have emotional pain when the pain is in a client’s left shoulder, then I work on the left shoulder and the pain moves to the right shoulder. This is a key to knowing it’s emotional pain because physical pain does not jump from one area of the body to another.

 Q. What are some stories you can share around your healing successes?

 A. Ten years ago, I had a woman who was 75 years old, who came to me with a torn meniscus. I worked on that, and she is now 85 and has not had any more pain and did not need surgery. She referred her daughter-in-law to me for a meniscus tear and I had the same results. I went in with the intention to repair the meniscus in about a one hour session.

 I’ve always considered myself a pain specialist, so when people have muscle or joint pain, I can eliminate that in 3-5 sessions. That was after many of them had had six months to a year of physical therapy.

 I remember a client who owned a demolition company, and all of his employees were union, so when his employees got hurt, it cost him downtime and he would have to follow the union guidelines. He would drive his employees to me to get worked on and in most cases, I would have them back at the job in one or two sessions. 

 There was an employee working in the bottom of the elevator shaft needing to remove a counterweight – no one else was around and when he picked up the 300 lb. counterweight by himself, his back went out. When his boss brought him to the office the next day, this 6’ 6” guy was bent over and looked like he was about 5’ 8”. I had him straightened out and back on the job the next day.

 There was gentleman from Cape Cod who had a stroke. His arm was bent at a 90-degree angle at the elbow. After a year of PT, it was unresolved. I had his arm straight and at his side and able to use it in a one-hour session. The man was very excited that I was able to do this for him, but I think at the same it triggered some fear and anxiety because he didn’t return for a follow-up session as requested. I used acupressure and energy work.

 Q. Tell me about your ability to heal or work on hundreds of people at the same time?

 A. I first had the vision of working on groups of people all the way back in 1994 and 1995. I first demonstrated that I could work with multiple people in the massage school where I worked on 25 students at once. It was mainly to get them to feel energy, move it through their body and have them work on what each of them needed. Later I worked on a small group of a dozen, similar circumstance, but each of them needed tension or pain resolved. That was with good success.

 I always had it in the back of my mind that my true gift would be able to work on large groups of people, rather than just one-on-one. It is a more efficient use of my gifts.

 When working with large groups of people, everyone tends to get what they need, spinal alignment, trauma release, emotional release. I am providing the energy, but they can subconsciously take in what they need and work with it. The intelligence of the body to know what it needs and how much of what it needs has been well-documented in science, neuroscience and things of that nature. Whether we are talking about energy healing or color or sound healing, the body knows how much to take in and how to use it for healing.

 Q. How does a person’s consciousness affect their healing?

 A. If a person doesn’t believe in energy healing and they’re receiving energy for a specific trauma or pain, consciousness will have no effect. The body wants to let go of that pain and will do so and ideally will make a non-believer a believer. Emotional issues can be blocked by an individual that just doesn’t want to go there. If we think of consciousness as a resonate frequency coming from the healer, it can be interrupted, slowed down, but cannot be totally blocked, If a higher frequency comes in it will slowly raise the vibration of the person so that it is accepted. It will just take more time for the non-believer.

 Q. When did you first come up with the Energy of Life healing process?

 A. I came up with the name Energy of Life Healing in 1993 while still in massage school. It is what I call the energy coming from my hands and how it enters the body and assists the body with releasing pain and illness.

 Anyone can be taught the process, some people may be slower because of their belief systems and emotional blocks, but everyone can learn it and use it. It will benefit people because they are able to facilitate their own healing, meaning they can easily let go of trauma and physical pain, get in touch with and release old emotional pain in the body and by its flow through the body, it awakens a person’s intuition, it’s very grounding as well as assists in opening the third eye and crown chakras, or energy centers.

 Q. What guidance do you have for people regarding their health?

 A. Pay attention to the quality of the food you eat. Just because something is organic does not make it the healthiest food on the shelf. Many organic foods are over processed, some organic vegetables coming from other countries may have more toxins than if locally grown. Eat fresh vegetables and food, fresh fish and high-quality meats.

 Supplements are important. Take vitamins C, D, multi-complex B vitamins, a few things to assist the body, especially if we are a little deficient. We can ask our doctors to give us a complete blood panel to let us know what our calcium levels, iron levels, vitamin D levels etc., are and use that as our guide.

 Exercise is vital to good health. Yoga, tai chi, and chi gong are important, and some people need weights and running to keep the body happy.

 Fresh air – get out of the house even in the cold weather. Limit the amount of time outside during the colder months.

 Most people don’t drink enough water. For the average person – 36 – 60 ounces of water a day is enough water, except in the summer we may need more. I don’t recommend bottled water – find a spring that you can go to and fill your own bottles. In some cases, even the tap city water is adequate. You can access your town’s water quality online. You can’t always go by smell and taste. Water that has a sulfur smell can actually be good for you, depending on the quality of water. Most of us are lacking sulfur anyway.

 Quiet time is important – unplug from all devices. This gives our mind a chance to unwind and calm down the brain and the nervous system. Most people are in constant stimulation from the time they wake up till the time they go to bed which causes more tension and makes it difficult to sleep.

 Find a good massage therapist, energy healer, chiropractor, acupuncturist, etc. and eliminate the stress before it builds up in your body.

 Q. How prevalent is mineral deficiency in causing health issues and how can a person resolve this issue?

 Mineral deficiency is, in some of the areas of this country, 60% or more of why people are ill. We don’t get the level of minerals we need from our water, vegetables, and other food sources. We have been misguided to not eat certain foods like butter or animal fats or enough good salt such as Mediterranean salt and French salt, which are higher in minerals and trace elements. As far back as the 1920’s we knew that our soil was being depleted of minerals. Instead of doing things to replenish the soil, we started dumping fertilizer on it. Cultivating the practices of growing organically, using compost and things from nature to replenish the soil, is the only way we’ll get back to proper mineralization.

 Q. Where do you see your practice heading – how would you like to serve differently in the future?

 A. I’d like my practice to be going in the direction of group healings, in-person, on social media, and zoom. I will be starting group healings at The Way to Balance in March, and I hope to be starting group healings online in March as well.

 Q. Can you give us an idea of what the group healings will focus on?

 Some of the healings will be centered around curing headaches, migraines, concussions, removing trauma, improving circulation, breathing, opening the sinuses, releasing electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) from cell phones and devices. Releasing harmful energies from x-rays, cat scans and MRIs. Eliminating spine, hip, knee, arm and hand pain that may result in arthritis. Releasing emotional issues that may lead to digestive problems, IBS, colitis, anxiety, and depression.

 Q. How did you develop your intuition to be at the level you are today?

 My intuitive abilities came in short spurts - just knowing what a person needed before I went into the room to give them a massage – I had no control over it. Over time, the answers to the questions I asked would come so fast before I could even know what it was. I had to slow it down to ask the question again before I could see that it was my intuition, my truth.

 Then when we go beyond what we know, we access the super-consciousness that allows us to see and know the unknown. To have answers for things that we couldn’t know with our conscious mind. To intuitively go to an area that has been locked up with a stroke – to intuitively know what needs to be stimulated to release that locked up arm is not a conscious endeavor – it is truly intuition.

 What I see as the super-conscious – I think of it as a funnel – I’m at the lower end, my consciousness has to travel up to that bigger open end of the funnel where superconscious is accessible by everyone that makes the effort through meditation, whether through sitting or movement, and just by doing, it comes to you. It starts by having the question, wanting to know the answer and being open enough to go into that realm to receive the answers.  

 Our emotional blocks can stop us from developing our intuition – the emotional blocks can create doubt - or fear of not getting anything or getting it wrong. That fear can lead to anxiety and frustration which compounds itself.
