The subconscious carries more influence on human behaviour than one would expect. It can hold memories, beliefs, habits, and automatic functions. Yet despite acting on "autopilot," the subconscious can determine thinking patterns, behaviours, and a person's approach toward the world.
Often, when these patterns are rooted in positive frameworks, they exhibit healthy behavior in different realms of life. But when negative experiences and trauma enter the picture, the subconscious can create neural pathways that manifest pain in the form of self-sabotage, destructive relationships, and chronic emotional cycles, and disease: patterns that Mary Schneider, a Resonance Repatterning practitioner and Founder of Repattern It aims to resolve.
"Experiences trigger pathways in the brain, including negative ones," she says. "These triggers could result in emotional, psychological, and physical imbalances, and ultimately, be stored within the subconscious as energetic blocks, which very often manifest themselves in daily behavior."
Schneider, who began her journey as a healer in 1996, has dedicated more than three decades to helping people identify and shift these deeply rooted structures and thought patterns through a method known as Resonance Repatterning. "Back when I started my practice, there was no listening for this," she says. "I'd go to marketing events and tell people what I did, and they'd look at me like I had three heads. But there was usually one person who leaned in, who understood."
At its core, Resonance Repatterning works with the subconscious, since it could be the place where the trauma is encoded. "Surface-level modalities may not be able to tackle these issues," Schneider explains. "By virtue, the very fact that it's in the subconscious means we can't get to it. So we have to dive deeper, and Resonance Repatterning can do that."
The modality attempts to target the very root of the trauma. Schneider explains that through Resonance Repatterning, those old neural pathways that are imbued with traumatic experiences are 'filled and replaced' with new ones. "What I've seen in my practice is that this could release limiting beliefs and patterns that have kept people stuck for years."
Schneider emphasizes that the work goes beyond affirmations and positive thoughts, diving into the structural underpinnings of the issues and how they differ from person to person. "Every structure is specific to the person and the issues, so the healing modalities would be specific too," she explains. In her practice, she offers various modalities that align with her client's subconscious structure, including sound therapy, light, movement, music, craniosacral techniques, and systems drawn from acupuncture and Ayurveda.
Schneider points out that Resonance Repatterning often begins with one person, and then ripples outward. She likens this ripple effect to the Law of Entrainment, the principle that living systems synchronize with the frequencies around them.
Schneider illustrates it with a story: "A Dutch physicist once placed several pendulum clocks on a wall, all swinging at different rhythms. Within an hour, every single one was in sync. What this means to me is that the people we spend time around have an impact on who we become, often without us even knowing it. Resonance Repatterning could interrupt that cycle."
Schneider points out how, at Repattern It, some clients experience shifts in one session, while others continue to Repattern over decades as new challenges arise. Every session, she stresses, is complete in itself; each one can be a recalibration toward greater freedom.
In a world where stress, trauma, and inherited beliefs weigh heavily on individuals and families, Schneider believes Resonance Repatterning can offer an effective method to cope. "Everybody needs help with their subconscious," she says. "It's where our reality is created. When you change what you resonate with, you can change your life."
