Either another trained therapist or someone who is mentally and emotionally close to the client can become a Surrogate. The Surrogate “becomes” the client and participates in the healing process through the subconscious mind. When the connection is felt through the subconscious space the Surrogate feels the client’s feelings, remembers important incidents, and tunes into root causes of traumas and blocks.

Though clients are physically not present during this “remote” work, they feel significant shifts in their energies. They not only feel differently about themselves, for the better, but people around them also sense this shift and start responding to them differently.

Surrogate Therapy works very well for young children, who need to heal past life traumas. It is also used effectively for the old and infirm, and for people who cannot travel for physical, emotional or medical reasons.

A surrogate person plays an important role in hypnosis when working with clients who struggle to understand their own experiences—think of severely intellectually disabled patients, animals, young children, or people dealing with serious illness.

All energy exists as non-local fields of information or vibrational frequencies. A surrogate taps into someone else’s information by connecting energetically with their energy fields. Shamanism calls this ‘entering the landscape’ of another individual. On a gentler level, we can step into someone’s reality through our conscious mind by feeling empathy and imagining ‘as if’ we were living life through their unique lens. This empathetic approach engages our mental subtle body. However, when we’re in hypnosis or any altered state, we can actually feel what the other person experiences. We don’t take them over, but we ‘see’ or perceive the world from their distinct viewpoint by simply connecting with an energetic reflection of them. We don’t move our energy anywhere—we simply access the information stored in their matrix or energy fields.

Being a surrogate for someone else works differently than you might think. Our consciousness reaches out to their consciousness to discover information that answers the questions we’re exploring. It’s not our everyday personality doing this work, but rather our higher collective consciousness, which is already linked to all of humanity.

When we engage in surrogate work, we support healing by gaining insight into what’s happening in the person’s life that we’re assisting. This is really just another way of using our state of consciousness to see through someone else’s eyes and represents another beautiful form of remote spiritual healing.
