An Interview with Mary Preuss Olson on The EMF Balancing Technique® -- A new vessel for healing and transformation

MADISON -- Mary Preuss Olson is the founder of Magnificent Voyage, LLC, a holistic empowerment practice offering practitioner and personal growth training in Reiki and the EMF Balancing Technique®, the Joyful Living Series, and Personal Attention, intuitive healing and counseling sessions for individuals and couples.

Olson spoke from her home in Spring Green, Wisc.

Magnificent Voyage is an interesting name for a business. What does it mean?

Mary Preuss Olson: It's based on a dream that I had many years ago. I wanted a name that accurately reflected the idea of our personal journey of discovery and awakening, tapping into the power that resides within each one of us. I think that once we understand our essential nature, and the basic mechanics of creation, that being human on planet earth becomes more graceful and fun, we can actually learn to "joyride the universe," rather than struggle with or resist it. Magnificent Voyage is the vessel, if you will, that provides the tools to navigate.

What draws people to your classes?

Olson:I create a space for people that feels very comfortable and safe for them. It's a very supportive environment. I encourage people and assist them in bringing out their unique gifts. I can convey complex or confusing ideas in simple terms that anyone can understand.

Quantum physics is fascinating but if you can't explain it in a way that a mother of four who sings in her church choir can understand, then what's the point? I like to make the material accessible for everybody. I do that because I love these ideas. I encourage interaction and questions. I'm very plugged into what's happening. I'm good at reading an environment and adapting to it.

My job is to build bridges with people, connecting to them where they're at and instilling a sense of confidence in them with what they are learning. I've also been told that I have a very soothing voice and manner that tends to help people relax pretty quickly.

Quantum physics? How does physics relate to healing work?

Olson:Science has clearly shown us that the world in which we live is not at all what it seems...that things appear solid and separate, but they are not. Everything exists in a state of vibration. We live in a world where our senses tell us one thing, but there is so much more going on behind the scenes.

The physicist David Bohm coined the phrase, "implicate and explicate order." The explicate order is what you and I can see, touch, hear, etc., using our five senses. The implicate order is the remainder of reality that exists in a subtler vibrational range that is beyond our five senses. And what science is showing us is that the explicate order is about 1 percent of the whole. In other words, as five-sensory human beings, we access less than 1 percent of the information that is going on around us at all times. Less than 1 percent! That's a staggering proportion, don't you think?

How does the EMF Balancing Technique® fit into all of this?

Olson: The "EMF" in EMF Balancing Technique stands for electromagnetic field. As energetic beings, we are electrical in nature, and wherever there is an electrical current, there is an electromagnetic field. Max Plank, the father of quantum theory, says that there is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force, and that we must assume behind this force a conscious and intelligent Mind. He calls this Mind the Matrix of all matter. Physics also offers us the superstring theory, which states that the universe is composed of strings or strands of light and energy that comprise a Matrix or Cosmic Lattice that runs through all of creation, from the tiniest particle out into the largest space.

So what's so exciting here is how all this information fits together. We know we have this Cosmic Lattice, which is intelligent and in all things. What the EMF Balancing Technique work adds to that picture is something called the Universal Calibration Lattice -- or UCL for short. The UCL is our personal connection to this larger Matrix, or Cosmic Lattice. Universal means we all have one, calibration means to gauge or strengthen the energy patterns within the structure, and lattice refers to the shape of the structure itself.

The basic intent of the EMF work is to balance all the energy within the UCL, and to reconnect our UCLs, our personal lattices, with the Cosmic Lattice. Somehow or another, we lost most of our connection to this Cosmic Lattice, and now, through this work, we understand the mechanics of plugging into it, reconnecting to it. We are literally rewiring our energy fields, our circuitry, so that we may hold a higher charge of the piece of God that we all are. And in this process, some pretty interesting things begin to occur. God is pretty high voltage stuff!

Like what kind of things?

Olson:Well, I've had clients with tumors that have disappeared. It's been amazing with anxiety and depression. In other cases, asthma, herniated disks and other pretty serious or chronic conditions have resolved themselves, as well as a whole host of emotional issues.

So you think this where we're all headed? The future of energy work?

Olson:Absolutely. We can think of the UCL as an evolutionary part of our energy systems. We're all familiar with Reiki, Polarity, Healing Touch and CranioSacral, etc. These are all wonderful systems. The EMF work does not replace these modalities. I see the EMF work as an extension to these systems, just as the UCL is the extension to or expansion of our present energy bodies.

The EMF work actually dramatically increases the effectiveness of these modalities, because now there is this bigger cohesive vessel, this intelligent container of the other energy systems of the body, which becomes activated and links up more directly and efficiently to the whole of life. The EMF work uses the UCL to plug into the Cosmic Lattice. The Cosmic Lattice is theoretically the most powerful energy source in the universe. Now we're beginning to understand how to plug into it! It's our next evolutionary step.

So this is the first I've heard of this UCL. Can you tell me more about its structure?

Olson:Yes. The UCL is just fascinating. It is composed of 12 long vertical fibers of light/energy that circle us 360 degrees. These fibers connect at two energy centers, one 24 inches above the head, called the Center Above, and the other 24 inches below our feet, called the Center Below. In addition, radiating from the chakras front and back, are figure-eight shaped loops. These horizontal loops are the roadways for energy information to travel from the long, informational fibers, through to our biology and into our central column, or core energy. This core energy column is the primary open circuit to the Cosmic Lattice.

There are other people on the planet tapping into these strings and strands of energy, and they are beginning to intuit the structure of the UCL, but I believe that the EMF work is the most detailed and comprehensive interpretation of this structure, how to work with it, and how it plugs into the bigger picture, etc. This is a pretty simplistic overview, but in the class we study the UCL in significant detail, and students leave with a solid and experiential understanding of this part of themselves.

So can anyone learn this technique?

Olson: You bet. It's a simple, systematic procedure that anyone can learn. Most of the students I've had so far have been massage therapists, Reiki Masters or energy workers who want another tool with which they can use to help others. Because of the accessible nature of the training, it's appropriate for anyone who wants to make a quantum leap in his or her personal and spiritual growth and really assume the posture of self-enablement.

How is the training structured?

Olson:It's six days. The first day is the introduction to the body of work, and it is the prerequisite to the full training. That day really stands alone quite nicely for people who simply want to learn more about this part of themselves. We study a model of the UCL and its relationship to the Cosmic Lattice, we learn an exercise called the Spiral Sweep which works to stimulate the hormonal secretions of the endocrine glands for our evolutionary acceleration, we learn how to use the UCL and Cosmic Lattice for more fluid manifestation, and several applications for using this new energy, including performing a mini session. It's a pretty comprehensive day.

Over the next five days, one learns the theory behind and how to facilitate each phase. Right now there are four different sessions in the EMF Balancing Technique, performed in order, each addressing a different section of the UCL, and each with a specific collection of intentions. In a nutshell, Phase I balances wisdom and emotion, so that the client begins to think with their heart and feel with their mind. Phase II is about our history, activating the gifts from our ancestors and releasing that which no longer serves us. This contributes to the energetic posture of self-direction and self-support. Phase III promotes unification of the chakra system and spiritual mastery, while Phase IV is stepping into our power as creators, releasing fear or anxiety about our potential and activating energy patterns of wisdom and love. It's energetic accomplishment and co-creation at its best.

The originator, or more accurately, the "birther" of this system, is a woman named Peggy Phoenix DuBro. I had the good fortune of studying the technique directly from her. She says that there will eventually be 12 phases in all. Her book is called Elegant Empowerment and I have it available for those who want it.

And what are the benefits of this training?

Olson: The primary benefit is the acceleration of your personal and spiritual growth. You learn a whole new energy vocabulary. You receive direct alignment with the energy patterns of each phase as you learn it. Then you have four different sessions you can offer to friends, family or clients. And of course, as talked about earlier, these sessions amplify the other types of energy work you may be practicing.

Plus, it's pretty exciting to birth a whole new part of your energy system, don't you think? I mean we currently use about 10-12 percent of our brain and two of our 12 strands of DNA. I like to look at this training as a front row seat on the evolutionary express! As a practitioner you join a worldwide family and receive updates about what's going on.

The EMF Balancing Technique is now being practiced in 36 countries around the globe! In the relatively short time it's been around, that's pretty fantastic growth. Those 100 monkeys are at it again!
