Values & Beliefs
Beliefs
Beliefs are the convictions that we generally hold to be true, usually without actual proof or evidence. Here is how a belief is defined;
- an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof. “his belief in extraterrestrial life”
- trust, faith, or confidence in (someone or something). “a belief in democratic politics”
They are often, but not always connected to religion. Religious beliefs could include a belief that God created the earth in seven days, or that Jesus was the Son of God. Non-religious beliefs could include: that all people are created equal, which would guide us to treat everyone regardless of sex, race, religion, age, education, status etc with equal respect. Conversely, someone might believe that all people are not created equal, which results in racist and sexist values and attitudes.
Everyone has an internalised system of beliefs and values that they have developed throughout their lives. These may stem from religion or may develop separately to religion.
- Beliefs are concepts that we hold to be true.
- Values are ideas that we hold to be important.
- Values guide the way we behave, communicate and interact with others.
- Beliefs and values determine our attitudes and opinions.
Clearing Beliefs
There are some modalities that enable you to change a belief in someone. However, the act of doing this raises important questions;
- Who decides on what the new belief should be?
- Is it the practitioner who’s making the change, or the person who’s experiencing the change?
- Is the belief-changer good at doing the job? What if they mess up?
- Does the person who wants the new belief know that the new belief will be better for them. Better how?
We take a different approach. Instead of changing the belief, the Head Trash Clearance Method neutralises the emotional power that supports a belief, thus enabling the person to loosen their thinking and explore new ways of thinking. In doing this the person is able to choose a new belief that better supports them. This is can work very well with limiting or unhelpful beliefs.
Because we work with opposites, by its very nature any resistance to the opposite belief is neutralised too, which means that if the opposite belief is deemed to be more appropriate, then they will more easily adopt it. But the choice will always remain with the individual (their subconscious actually!) and not the practitioner.
Belief Frameworks
Use these frameworks for limiting beliefs.
This is not necessarily to change a belief; the Head Trash Clearance Method is not manipulative. This takes the emotional strength out of a belief out to allow other possibilities to be considered, leaving each individual with Freedom, Choice and Flexibility;
- Freedom to decide
- Choice in what to believe
- Flexibility to change, or stay, increase or decrease their belief
However. Watch out! Changes do happen.

Things to note
Notice how it moves from one level of strength / intensity to another. In the example above there are 3 step-changes. Feel free to add a few more if you like.
We use the word disbelieve instead of don’t believe because it is said that the subconscious doesn’t recognise the word not or no.
Sometimes the belief changes, other times it loses its strength opening up possibilities. At other times resistance or other thoughts and feelings emerge which you can apply the Head Trash Clearance Method too.
There is enormous power in this technique. Take it seriously and do it with humour.

Values
Our values are those things that are really important to us; the things that we value. We value them so much that they act like the unwritten rules that we live by.
Our values come from our culture, our upbringing and our life experiences. Our core values will rarely change in life, but our collective values will change as we move through life and experience certain life-changing events.
Many people aren’t aware of their values so they don’t always realise how a big a role their values play in their day-to-day life experience.
Emotionally speaking, our values are very important. Unfortunately, they are also at the root of most of our personal angst. This is because we love them so much; they are so important to us that we have invested a lot emotionally in them. This makes us vulnerable emotionally speaking because it means that we’re much more open to being offended or affected by other people’s behaviour. Especially those people who don’t share our values and who dare to tread all over them.
When someone behaves in a way that is in conflict with our values it can really hit us hard and we often take their behaviour personally. If we can work on clearing the emotional energy that is contained in our values, it can go a long way to helping us to be less emotionally unsettled in day-to-day life.
Working on your values won’t change your values, it simply takes the emotional intensity out of them. This enables you to;
- Be less susceptible to being triggered emotionally.
- Consider other alternative ways of thinking or behaving rather than being so rigid or fixed.
- Stand your ground much more calmly and clearly without being overwhelmed by emotion.
Ultimately this gives you more emotional strength.
