Ugh. Until now I'd nearly forgotten my former participation in Robert Fritz's "technology" -- which he was calling "DMA" at the time.
After attending a big workshop with Fritz (which I can't recall much about now), I joined a group led by someone trained in his method and got all excited about "creating my reality." The leader boasted that after doing a bit of processing (she may have used another term), she was able to eat all the goodies she wanted to, without gaining weight. I took her at her word, and after thinking I'd sufficiently addressed my beliefs re food and weight, I began regularly consuming candy bars and other junk food, whereas prior to that I'd been a bit of a health nut. I even allowed myself to eat foods that had formerly aggravated an asthmatic condition. I figured I was protected with the Fritz technology!
Would it surprise anyone to learn that within about a month, I ended up in the hospital for 5 days with severe breathing difficulties that required IV steroid to heal? Yep. Fortunately I woke up to Fritz's b.s. soon after that and stopped working with his stuff. I also went back to eating a healthier and more balanced diet, rather than the delusional one I'd been following.
I sometimes marvel at how long it has taken for me to realize how much fakery is perpetrated in the name of self-improvement and healing. Actually I will admit that I can still get taken in somewhat easily, so I must watch myself carefully. And that is why I'm in counseling today -- with a credentialed professional rather than some New Age huckster.
Personally I'd stay away from Robert Fritz's stuff.
Jeannelucille,
Thanks a bunch for your great post. I did follow up on your DMA connection by browsing the web, as it turns out, DMA is now a more commercial seminar still offered by Fritz under the new name of "technologies for creating." I made the link from a post on, of all places, the EFT site. Here is the link:

Unfortunetly, things are going to get unconfortable for me because this seminar is being paid and sponsored by my wife's company.
Also, my wife's employer, a midsize company in Florida, is also sponsoring in-house once a year rallies titled "the game of work," based on the book of that title. this is beginning to look like a repeat of the "Amway" experience.
thanks all
