LifeCycles Healing
Membership based community healing
Our Mission
“The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.” —Frank Herbert
1971 was the year that Dr. William F. Bengston started a journey that led him to develop a remarkable healing technique which he would go on to rigorously study for over 40 years before his passing in 2025. The data he collected in that time-frame is nothing short of astounding, and is the foundation of our mission to help bring his work to the world.
LifeCycles Healing was created as an organization with the express purpose of exploring several distinct aspects of the data from Dr. Bengston’s research:
1. Healing can be administered remotely, with no drop in efficacy regardless of the physical distance between the Healer and the Recipient. This allows us to maximize the efficiency of treatments, while minimizing the time requirements of participation. Importantly, it opens up eligible participants to include anyone, regardless of their geographical location.
2. The healing response is measurably stronger and faster the greater the number of participants, provided they share a resonant bond—an established relationship. Therefore our goal is to create methods for generating a resonant bond among our members through community building.
3. The healing response is non-specific and is not dependent on direction from the Healer or the Recipient. Instead, the healing response is driven by the biological need of the Recipient. In this manner, a resonantly bonded group of individuals can be effectively treated at the same time, regardless of their symptoms, conditions or diagnoses.
4. Healing is not special ability and simply requires practice to master the technique. The more community members who take on the challenge of learning the rapid image-cycling technique, the greater the amplification of the response may be among our membership.
At LifeCycles Healing, we strongly believe that widespread access to this technique, and to the benefits of research-based healing, are critical to expanding the reach of Dr. Bengston’s work and promoting the many health and wellness benefits that come from frequent treatments.
In the bulk of his research, healing was administered daily for a period of 30 days. Our organization aims to recreate this by offering a low-cost membership model where participants are granted access to a resonantly bonded community and daily remote healing for the duration of their month-long membership. We believe that this structure offers the greatest potential to positively impact the health and well-being of as many people as possible.
Our ultimate goal is the creation of a Resonant Healing Network, where members are granted the opportunity to learn the mental technique that is the foundation of this method. The more participants who are actively involved in joining, and amplifying the healing sessions through their own personal practice, the greater our capacity to catalyze healing for the entire community.
The strength of this model lies in the simplicity of its approach and in its scalable nature. Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of Healers and Recipients who can participate in the daily healing, and therein lies to real power of what we offer. Healing does not occur in isolation, but through connection, relationship, community. The bonds of humanity that we share together.
At LifeCycles Healing we truly believe that this is an approach that can change the world—granting low-cost access to healing, backed by decades of science, that can transform the health of you and all those who you hold dear.
Resonant Healing: The Bengston Method
Rapid Image Cycling:
The Core Practice
Rapid Image Cycling is the teachable mental technique which is at the heart of the Bengston Method. When engaged properly, and with significant practice, this technique generates a harmonic of brainwave frequencies anchored by 7.83hz. This correlates to the Alpha and Theta brainwave states, associated with calm, clarity, creativity and deep states of meditation.
This frequency (7.83hz), referred to as the Schumann Resonance, is also a naturally occurring set of electromagnetic frequencies that fills the Earth-Ionosphere atmospheric cavity; known as the Earth’s “heartbeat”.
While ‘Cycling’, the Healer applies their intention to catalyze and maintain a healing response for individuals or bonded groups (the “cage mate effect”). While the treatment is ongoing, EEG studies have demonstrated that this brainwave harmonic manifests in both healer and the recipient(s). This coupling seems to play a central role in the process; evidence suggests this brainwave entrainment helps catalyze a natural healing response.
The mechanism of this response has yet to be conclusively identified, but the results are clear: while engaged in rapid image-cycling, with the permission and intention to heal others, health and well-being can be positively impacted in both subtle and dramatic ways.
Importantly, the Healer does not direct the course of the healing to treat the recipient in any specific manner. Instead, the technique generates a holistic healing response is directed by your individual biological need.
Resonant Healing :
Bonding and Relationship
Dr. Bengstons research has shown that healing is more effective in groups that are resonantly bonded (having relationship), and the healing response has been shown to scale with group size. The more people (or animals) that are involved, the faster and stronger the effects of the treatments may manifest.
By agreeing to join our membership, and through acts of participation in our community, we can generate a resonant bond among our members that can serve as a conduit for transformative healing and reproduce this ‘cage mate’ effect seen in Dr. Bengstons data.
This is why the membership model is a powerful and essential approach to maximizing the impact we can make at LifeCycles Healing. We recognize that family, friends, and colleagues are the central relationships in our lives. Consequently, operating within the networks of these communities is the focus of the work that we do, as well as fostering that connection among individuals seeking transformative healing collectively.
Our mission is to not only catalyze and support individual healing, but to also include to the network of relationships that make up the immediate support systems in our lives. That includes the LifeCycles Healing family! An important aspect of our membership model is participating in our online community spaces; sharing our healing journey and supporting other members along theirs as well.
Treatment and recovery, the healing response, are not things that occur as readily in isolation. This model unites participants through their healing experience; a vision for improved health and well-being in our personal lives, as well as our family, work and community.
The Bengston Method:
Science and Research
Explore the data behind LifeCycles Healing.
Studied rigorously by Dr. William F. Bengston for over 40 years, his work is the foundation for our membership based approach and the guiding principle of our long-term goal of establishing a resonant healing network.
Dr. Bengston, who holds a PhD in Sociology and spent most of his career at St. Joseph’s University, was an expert in research design and application of the scientific method. He was a true skeptic in the sense that when he started this extraordinary journey, he put his beliefs aside about what was possible and simply followed his natural curiosity and the data that his experiments provided.
Without his monumental work, and the work of those who came before him such as Bernard Grad of McGill University, the nature of healing and the healing response may still be primarily informed more by a variety of New Age and Spiritual movements than by the modern, tangible standards of science and research.
While the mechanism for this healing has still yet to be determined, and we may find that directed intention and consciousness plays a large part in what is occurring, the cornerstone for what we are following at LifeCycles Healing is readily definable by the repeated experiments of Dr. William F. Bengston, to whom we owe a deep gratitude for his service to codifying this technique expanding our knowledge of its benefits and applications.
The Healing Response
During the Treatment—
What does it feel like? :
There is no sensation or experience that is specific to receiving a treatment with the Bengston Method. However, a range of sensations and feelings may, or may not, occur.
Most commonly reported are a sense of peace and well-being, and a presence, warmth or tingling in some part or all of the body. Emotional connection or shifts can occur, and changes in your physical presentation as well.
Many receivers mention that the treatment brings them into a space between sleep and wakefulness. A sense of rebalancing, or ‘hitting the reset button’. A nice place to drift.
How do I Receive the Healing? :
While it is not required to do anything special to receive the daily healing, many people find that it is useful to ‘tune-in’ to the broadcast.
This can simply be raising your awareness of the moment while providing explicit consent at the start of the session. Or listening to a suggested audio track that may inform the brainwave pattern we’re seeking to foster. Many folks prefer to lie or sit in a comfortable place for the duration of the treatment, but it’s not strictly necessary.
If you’re at work, or busy with your children, that is okay too! The healing will work regardless of your specific activity. This technique eschews the use of ritual—no need to be in your special place with the candle lit. The chatrooms are also a great place to be while the healing is ongoing. Be Playful with your engagement to the process.
And of course, you can tune-in to Resonance Radio during the broadcast, to join our larger online community at Twitch and other Social Media.
Healing Responses—
Immediate effects :
Importantly, please recall that these treatments catalyze a healing response that is specific to your biological need.
The healing is not directed by the team at LifeCycles Healing. Any response is therefore a result of your Self engaging in a personal healing response which is dictated by your physical, mental and emotional condition.
In general, many recipients of the Bengston Method report a sense of well-being and a calmer disposition during and following a treatment.
Regarding your specific symptoms, it can be hard to predict how quickly a change can manifest. You may experience a lessening of, or temporary relief from physical and emotional symptoms right away. Some changes may be more subtle. Often the effects can be cumulative, a ‘cascade effect’ from the initial first treatment forward.
On occasion, symptoms reportedly felt mildly aggravated during the initial healing phase, followed by improvement. This is part of a normal response in our experience. We do not expect that any condition would worsen overall from the application of this healing technique, and there are no known contraindications.
Long-term Response :
The longer healing response over the course of your membership will manifest in a way that is specific to your biological need, but Dr. Bengstons data indicates several interesting things about the general healing process.
Healing may be a cascade of responses. After the process has been initialized, it may only need maintenance to stay engaged. Daily remote healing is our way of keeping our foot on the gas.
The research and data behind the Bengston Method indicate that the more aggressive and inflamed the nature of the condition, the stronger and faster the healing response may manifest. The inverse might be said about slow moving degenerative conditions; the response might be a little more measured.
Healing also seems to occur in bursts, and not necessarily as a continuous positively trending event. Throughout the membership, changes in your presentation might occur in waves. At LifeCycles Healing, we believe that the daily treatment provides an important structure to the naturally unpredictable healing process.
Finally, immersion in the community as a whole will not only foster a better response individually, but also strengthens the resonant bond of the membership. A strong membership is the foundation for success in this model, and will have a direct impact on the overall outcomes of this work.
