This technique works at a cellular level within the human body.  Cells hold all the memories of our life experiences, both positive and negative.  Duriung this process, the cells holding the memories of previous negative experiences are "transformed".  Negative memories & blocks are released, and the cells can then hold more positive information, helping the body heal physically, become fitter, healthier, and allowing life to be lived fearlessly. Belief and attitudes change and life becomes more joyous and peacefilled - without drama.  

Transformational healing in this sense comes from the Footsteps of the Soul facilitator training through the New Gaia network. The process occurrs when a Footsteps of the Soul facilitator takes their client through a "process of transformation".  

The client is surrounded by an energy of oneness as the faciltitator connects with the client's soul and body.  The body shows the facilitator where the cells holding the negative belief or memory lie.  This is normally felt by the client as a block, numbness, pain or discomfort.  Emotions are sometimes released as the facilitator touches or talks to the body.  Memories sometimes surface of incidents that were blocked or pushed down.  

Once the release has happened, the facilitator will ascertain whether there is a deeper level to be released.  When the releasing has come to an end, the facilitator surrounds their client with "truth" energy, assisting in taking in the bodies ultimate truth - that they are spirit having a human experience, that they are a Divine being.  The client's cells absorb this and begin to hold a more positive energy which helps the client take on and maintain a more positive attitude towards themselves and others.
