SRT Basics: What Is Spiritual Response Therapy

BY NICOLE LAU

What Is Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT)?

Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT) is a systematic method of using a pendulum and specialized charts to identify and clear spiritual blocks, negative programs, and energetic patterns that prevent you from manifesting your desires, living your purpose, and experiencing wellbeing. Developed by Robert Detzler in the 1980s, SRT goes far beyond traditional pendulum divination—it's a complete clearing system that addresses the root causes of problems at the soul level.

Unlike basic pendulum work that asks yes/no questions, SRT uses a comprehensive chart system to pinpoint exactly what's blocking you—whether it's past life vows, negative entities, limiting beliefs, karmic patterns, or energetic cords—and then systematically clears them using specific protocols. It's like spiritual debugging: you identify the exact line of code that's causing the malfunction, then delete it.

This is your complete introduction to SRT—what it is, how it works, how it differs from traditional pendulum divination, and why it's one of the most powerful clearing tools available.

The Core Principle: Everything Is Energy and Information

SRT is based on the understanding that:

• Your subconscious/Higher Self knows everything about your spiritual blocks and patterns
• Energy follows thought—negative programs create negative manifestations
• Everything can be cleared once you identify it precisely
• The pendulum accesses your Higher Self's knowledge through ideomotor response
• Charts provide the language to communicate with your Higher Self systematically

The pendulum doesn't have the answers—you do. The pendulum is simply the communication device that allows your conscious mind to access what your Higher Self already knows.

How SRT Differs from Traditional Pendulum Work

Traditional Pendulum Divination:

• Asks yes/no questions
• Limited to simple queries
• No systematic clearing protocol
• Identifies problems but doesn't necessarily clear them
• Relies heavily on user's ability to ask right questions
• Can be vague or incomplete

SRT (Spiritual Response Therapy):

• Uses comprehensive chart system with hundreds of specific options
• Systematically identifies root causes of blocks
• Includes clearing protocols to remove what's found
• Addresses multiple levels: past lives, entities, programs, beliefs, cords
• Charts guide you to ask the right questions
• Precise, specific, and complete

Analogy: Traditional pendulum work is like asking "Is something wrong with my car?" SRT is like running a complete diagnostic that tells you exactly which part is malfunctioning and then fixing it.

The SRT Chart System

SRT uses a series of charts that work together as a complete diagnostic and clearing system:

Primary Charts:

1. The High Self Chart (Main Chart)

• Your starting point for every session
• Lists categories of blocks: past life vows, negative programs, entities, cords, etc.
• Pendulum swings to indicate which category to investigate
• Directs you to specific sub-charts

2. Program Charts

• Identify specific negative programs and beliefs
• Examples: "I'm not worthy," "Money is evil," "I must suffer"
• Pinpoint exact limiting beliefs blocking you

3. Past Life Charts

• Identify vows, contracts, and traumas from past lives
• Examples: Vows of poverty, celibacy, silence, suffering
• Clear karmic patterns affecting current life

4. Entity/Discarnate Charts

• Identify negative entities or attachments
• Determine type, number, and location
• Clear them using specific protocols

5. Clearing Charts

• Specific clearing statements and protocols
• Used to remove what's been identified
• Ensure complete clearing

The Basic SRT Process

Step 1: Prepare

• Ground and center yourself
• Set intention to work with your Higher Self
• Calibrate your pendulum (establish yes/no responses)
• Have your SRT charts ready

Step 2: Ask Permission

• "May I? Can I? Should I?" (permission to proceed)
• "Is it appropriate to clear [specific issue] now?"
• Only proceed if you get clear yes

Step 3: Identify the Block

• Hold pendulum over High Self Chart
• Ask: "What is blocking me from [desired outcome]?"
• Pendulum swings to indicate category (e.g., "Past Life Vow")
• Go to specific sub-chart for that category
• Identify exact block (e.g., "Vow of Poverty from lifetime as monk")

Step 4: Research the Block

• Ask when it originated (this life, past life, ancestral)
• Ask how many layers or instances
• Ask if there are related blocks
• Get complete picture before clearing

Step 5: Clear the Block

• Use specific clearing statement from chart
• Example: "I now rescind, revoke, renounce, and nullify this vow of poverty across all time, space, and dimension"
• Speak with authority and intention
• Pendulum confirms clearing is complete

Step 6: Verify and Integrate

• Ask: "Is this completely cleared?"
• Ask: "Are there any related blocks to clear?"
• Continue until pendulum indicates all clear
• Thank your Higher Self

What SRT Can Clear

SRT addresses blocks at multiple levels:

Soul/Spirit Level:

• Past life vows and contracts
• Karmic patterns and debts
• Soul fragmentation
• Negative soul programs

Mental/Emotional Level:

• Limiting beliefs and programs
• Negative thought patterns
• Emotional blocks and traumas
• Self-sabotage programs

Energetic Level:

• Negative entities and attachments
• Energetic cords to people, places, situations
• Curses, hexes, and psychic attacks
• Negative energy imprints

Physical Level:

• Programs affecting health
• Energetic causes of physical symptoms
• Blocks to healing

Why SRT Is So Powerful

1. Precision

Instead of vague "I have blocks around money," SRT identifies: "Vow of poverty from lifetime as Franciscan monk in 1347, reinforced by program 'Money is evil' installed at age 7 in this lifetime when father said 'Rich people go to hell.'"

2. Completeness

SRT doesn't just identify one block—it systematically finds all related blocks, layers, and connections until the issue is completely cleared.

3. Root Cause Clearing

SRT goes to the original source of the problem, not just surface symptoms. Clearing the root cause eliminates all downstream effects.

4. Verification

You can verify clearing is complete by asking your Higher Self directly through the pendulum. No guessing.

5. Empowerment

You're not dependent on a practitioner—you can learn to do this yourself, giving you a lifetime tool for self-clearing.

Common Misconceptions About SRT

"It's just fancy pendulum work"

No. The chart system and clearing protocols make it fundamentally different. It's systematic, comprehensive, and includes clearing—not just identification.

"You need to be psychic"

No. You need a pendulum and the ability to follow the chart system. Your Higher Self provides the information through ideomotor response.

"It's dangerous to clear things yourself"

When done properly with permission from your Higher Self and appropriate protection, SRT is safe. The system includes safeguards.

"One session clears everything forever"

No. Deep issues often have multiple layers. You may need multiple sessions. But each session creates real, lasting change.

Who Should Learn SRT?

SRT is especially powerful for:

• Spiritual entrepreneurs clearing business blocks
• Healers and practitioners wanting to clear clients (with training)
• Anyone experiencing persistent blocks despite other clearing work
• People interested in past life healing
• Those who want a systematic self-clearing tool
• Pendulum users ready for advanced work

Getting Started with SRT

What You Need:

• A pendulum (any pendulum works, but clear quartz is recommended)
• SRT charts (official charts or comprehensive alternatives)
• Basic pendulum skills (calibration, yes/no responses)
• Willingness to work systematically
• Respect for the process

Learning Path:

1. Master basic pendulum work (if you haven't already)
2. Study the SRT chart system and understand how charts work together
3. Practice on yourself with simple, low-stakes issues
4. Learn clearing protocols and practice speaking them with authority
5. Build confidence through consistent practice
6. Consider formal training if you want to work with clients

SRT Ethics and Best Practices

• Always ask permission from your Higher Self before clearing
• Never clear for others without their explicit consent
• Set protection before each session
• Work in a grounded, clear state—not when emotional or desperate
• Respect the process—don't rush or force
• Verify clearing is complete before ending session
• Integrate—allow time for changes to settle

The Bottom Line

SRT is a systematic, comprehensive method of using a pendulum and charts to identify and clear spiritual blocks at their root cause. It's more precise, complete, and powerful than traditional pendulum divination because it doesn't just identify problems—it clears them.

If you've been doing pendulum work and want to go deeper, if you have persistent blocks that won't shift, if you want a systematic self-clearing tool, SRT is worth learning. It's not magic—it's a methodical system that works when applied correctly.

Your Higher Self knows exactly what's blocking you. SRT gives you the language to ask the right questions and the tools to clear what you find.

The blocks are real. The clearing is real. The results are real.
