Overview to Core Belief Engineering

Core Belief Engineering (CBE) is a unique technology for the mind designed to help people change and grow. CBE sees change as a process of becoming 'more' of who you truly are, not becoming someone else's model of who you should be. We focus upon shifting you/your life from good to better, not from bad to good. And any change that occurs would never subtract from you - it will add to the strengths and talents that you already have.

Founder, Elly Roselle, discovered that you can change any belief that blocks you from being, doing or having more of what you want - beliefs about money, relationships, self-esteem, self-expression, joy, personal competence, creativity, confidence, love, success, intelligence.

Core Belief Engineering (CBE) also functions as a highly effective form of psychotherapy to transform the beliefs that lie at the base of all manner of dysfunctional behavior, worry, fear, anxiety, depression, etc.

CBE has also proven effective in addressing physical illnesses and symptoms.

How A Core Belief Engineering Process Works

Core Belief Engineering is a custom-designed process tailored to the change that you desire to make. We work in day-long processes averaging from 6 to 8 hours. The benefit of such intensive work is that measurable change is usually evident immediately.

• You are fully conscious throughout the process
• At the start of our work, we form a conscious contract together - a positive statement of the specific changes that you desire to make
• You are guided in a conscious communication with the part of your subconscious mind that is responsible for the problem and can help to solve it
• We are trained to ask a variety of investigative questions that bring up the answers from your own self. We do not judge or analyze the answers that you give; we are simply looking for the information from the part of your mind.
• The part is safely and gently guided to discover the premises, beliefs and strategies within it when it was formed.
• The part is updated to the present.
• We separate and clear out unwanted programming that came from external sources and then guide the part to find its true, original, emotional base within the core self so that it can form new beliefs and design a more appropriate way for it to develop and express its talents within yourself.
• All of this is done with due regard for the other parts of you and what you consciously say that you want
• We always find the answer to the problem from within your own inner wisdom.
• The CBE one-on-one process takes between 6 to 8 hours to completely - sometimes longer. Change is usually apparent immediately and last over time.
• The effects of each process accumulate as your life continues. You can strengthen and build on these changes by doing additional sessions.
• If you are intending to change a significant problem that you have lived with for a long time, there will be a necessity for a number of sessions spanning the time it takes to completely achieve your goal.

Core Belief Engineering is Unique

Comments from clients and students who have experienced CBE as well as other forms of psychotherapy, counselling, or alternative health practices indicate that all are helpful but that they have never experienced anything as quick, as comprehensive or as lasting as CBE.

• There are usually significantly noticeable changes in one or two sessions. We expect to provide results for clients as quickly & efficiently as possible.
• CBE encourages self-reliance rather than reliance on the therapist.
• Clients feel respected and in charge of their own changes.
• Each session is customized to the needs of the indvidiaul. It is one-on-one work that goes deeply and thoroughly into issues held in the subconscious mind while the person's conscious mind is observing, learning and participating in the flow of the changes being made.
• there is no 'average' number of visits - which have ranged from 1 to 12 (across a 1-3 year period).
• CBE goes past the analysis and labeling of behaviors and communicates directly with the part of the mind that is responsible for the behavior. It is there that permanent change can be created.
• CBE does not require catharsis or excessive emoting. Very strong emotions sometimes arise; the client is supported through a proceess to help them heal and move forward.
• We see all strategies developed by the mind as an indicator of its brilliance - it is this brilliance that becomes the foundation of the changes that are made.
• We endeavor to work cooperatively with other forms of health care, not competitively.

CBE - A Brief History

In 1982 Elly Roselle, the founder of Core Belief Engineering, cured herself of a 20-year issue with anorexia and bulimia. She discovered this process through determination, perseverance and a willingness to experiment on herself. It took her several months to discover that what she had changed was her fundamental belief system that she held subconsciously. Between 1982 and 1984 she did extensive research on herself and other volunteers to find out how and what this process could actually do. The results were encouraging so she moved forward to develop and formalize new processes based on what she found to work the best. In late 1984 and into 1985 Elly copyrighted the processes and went public by teaching the CBE process to other people across Canada - which they in turn could use to help other people to change. From 1985 to the present, the school (now a College) has grown, and the number of Practitioners and Interns have grown as years have passed. The processes that we use have grown in number, capability and refinement. CBE is now a bonded and Registered Private Post Secondary Institution with the Province of BC and is working towards full accreditation.

Our Mind - How It Is Organized

Core Belief Engineering sees the subconscious mind as a blend of parts (automatic patterns) each with their own talents, abilities, specialties and core beliefs. We have parts that know how to tie our shoes, cook a meal, communicate with people, teach others, be a father, a mother or a Manager, etc. These are automatic programs that fire automatically according to what we've learned.

These parts know to 'run their program' according to the situation we find ourselves in. So the 'tie the shoe' part does its job when it's faced with a shoelace that needs tying. We don't need to stop to think about what we're doing - we just do it. Likewise the 'mother part' knows to do its thing when it's faced with a circumstance requiring its mother-type skills.

For the most part, these automatic patterns support us in being the person that we want to be and in creating the life that we desire to have. These automatic responses are so natural that they seem instinctive, and we often refer to them as who we are with statements such as 'I would never ....' or 'That's just me ....' or I always ....'

However, there are some automatic patterns that get in the way of moving ahead and getting what you want from life. They're often so familiar to you that you may not even notice them - things like:

• uncontrollable anger or violent reactions
• continuous fear & anxiety
• never having enough money to finish out the month
• going into one relationship after another which always end in disappointment
• never being able to hold down a job
• starting things but never finishing them
• compulsive eating, drinking, gambling
• hestitating when it's time to make decisions
• procrastination or avoidance
• inabililty to concentrate on what you want to focus upon
• nervousness around other people

We switch from one part (automatic program) to another so easily that we don't even know that we're doing it. For example, in one moment you can be the loving parent, quietly and calmly reading a book to your child. The phone rings and it's your sister and with your sister you have a different 'part' that interacts with her - one that is constantly trying to prove to her that you're as good as she is. That part comes up and you're in a very defensive, hurt mode. You finish your conversation with her, put the phone down and you're back to being a loving parent, calmly reading your child a book. All of this took seconds to achieve and you weren't even aware that you had shifted 'parts'.

It is these automatic patterns (parts) that we seek to understand and transform - so that those patterns that no longer serve you change into those that will. To do that we map the pattern to find out what it is doing, how it works in your life, where it started, and who influenced its formation. With this knowledge we are then able to help the part to let go of the programming it absorbed from others and find the core knowledge that it possessed before it started to imprint with all the information from other people. It is our truth that at the core of every part are empowering statements of worth and capability known as core beliefs. This constructive information just got 'written over' by negative influences or circumstances in your life. Once 'cleaned off', the part functions in a new way, you feel differently about yourself and life, and as a result, your life begins to change.

Comments from Clients

The CBE Practitioner (Heather) was sincere and compassionate. I never felt as though she were the doctor and had to impress me, the patient, with her wisdom and capability to analyze but rather that she was a sincere friend with the qualifications to guide me to self discovery of my own strengths and thus solutions. I particularly liked the experience of being put in a position where I could mentally visualize my awareness and sensual feelings. Even to this day I can draw on this experience or state of mind and it puts me back into a state of self control and for this I’m grateful. - J.B.

Heather, I "manifested" you and your Core Belief Engineering work through my healing prayers! Since working with you I am incomparably more resourceful than before. I met you at a time of intense emotional turbulence and a sense of inability to cope or change things. Now, after our fourth session, my emotions are much more stable, and my ability to act from my personal power is significantly increased. It is easier for me to make choices that are supportive of me, and to say "no" to what is less than supportive. The changes I am experiencing have been unfolding in a steady, gradual way, on so many levels that it would be lengthy to mention them all. The "highlights" are increased levels of energy, increased clarity of mind and a more focused and clear perspective on life, a predominant sense of peace and wellness, a greater sense of inner alignment and wholeness, an increased ability to enjoy life. Some of the changes in my physical actions have been cleaning my home, clearing clutter in the house and in my computer, giving greater attention to my physical appearance through my choices of clothing, and re-establishing social connections after a long time of certain extent of social withdrawal. Right now I have a plan, and a sense of direction, and thankfully, a strong sense of trust in my own healing and evolution. Thank you so much, Heather, for being and for your work, and know that I am recommending you and CBE to my friends, students and clients. - T.S.

I am sleeping better. This is a remarkable difference as I usually awaken several times during the night and have a difficult time getting back to sleep. This is something I wasn’t working on, consciously, but am delighted about. I have been able to say what I need to say, in an appropriate manner, in situations where previously I would either become emotional and/or unable to speak. I prefer this. I feel confidence budding as a result. I am developing more positive dialogue with myself. This helps me relax, feel better and view situations as they really are. I’m not getting as upset as I used to. - K.M.

I did have an issue with someone at work that really upset me. I did manage to work it out for myself. The good thing was that I didn’t handle it in my normal insecure self destructing manner. I have had more energy lately. I am enjoying each success as it happens. And that allows me to feel more confident and pleased with myself, in turn leaving me with more motivation. (About CBE) I have used many methods of self help and healing, and have never achieved so much wealth through any other. (Regarding Heather) I enjoyed Heather’s friendly, yet professional demeanor. She is very patient, and understanding. Her humor and personality allows a comfortable environment. Very positive energy in her aura is quite helpful. She knows well what she is doing and is quite thorough. Mostly you can tell that she wants to do CBE work and is that much better for that. She also is honestly pleased for her clients, for the progress they obtain. - L.P.

I have discovered the roots of my major roadblocks and significant closure has occurred. I really did not expect to ever figure me out. Who would have thought something so simple could be such an amazing tool. No one else ever came close to helping me. I liked the process because I set the goals, pace and I alone make the change. I feel empowered. I'm so happy. I am worth way more than what it cost to become who I really am. I'm priceless - the best money I ever spent. - P.L.
