I recently had the experience of working with Dr. Iratcabal in a pre-natal re-imprinting (PNRI ) session. PNRI is a methodology that makes it possible to re-pattern or re-imprint  the central part of the brain (paleocortex) in order to remove maladaptive and self-destructive personality patterns. The emotional center of the brain (within the paleocortex) is re-imprinted to establish more positive and beneficial foundations for personality.

After experiencing anxiety over situation that theoretically should have made me feel happy and connected in my relationship with my partner, I instead felt anxious and fearful — a lifelong pattern. I was ready to break the pattern of fear and disconnection, and I knew the way I felt was not congruent with the situation.

The PRNI session was very comfortable and calming. I felt wonderful afterwards, and I was curious how I would feel over the course of the next several days or weeks. I had no idea what to expect, and yet I was quite surprised by the events that followed. Because I met with Dr. Iratcabal for assistance with a “relationship” issue, or perhaps more accurately my issues with relationships, I expected to see the change show up in that area of my life only. But the shift has been far deeper. I feel a great sense of calm in general and deep “knowingness” that I am “enough.” I do not feel the panic I have always felt that deep down inside everything is not okay and that my “safety” is in constant danger. Even more exciting, and what I did not expect to happen, is that I have come into an awareness of my life purpose.

For years, I have struggled with the idea that my life — though nice, comfortable, and somewhat ideal — was void of purpose. I have had bouts of depression throughout my life due to a feeling of disconnection and lack of purpose. I have often felt like I am drifting through life without making a significant contribution and not knowing how to do that. I love my work and have always felt blessed to be able to truly find passion in my career, but it is not enough in terms of my contribution to humanity. I have always believed that as humans we should leave this planet and the people we encounter in our life better. Our goals should be to improve upon this world. And I did not feel I was doing that. After my session with Dr. Iratcabal, I began to spend time thinking about my life purpose. I did not consciously set about doing that but rather my mind just started to wander towards those thoughts. Before long, I realized I was unintentionally setting about a “life purpose” plan. And once I realized that was happening, I consciously began to take actions.

In less than a month, I have shifted from a place of worry and fear regarding my intimate relationship to a place of confidence and gratitude, which has freed me to begin creating my life purpose work — becoming an advocate and activist for peace. In the past several weeks, I have made the decision to begin a graduate studies in dispute resolution and conflict management. While I do not know where this journey will eventually take me, I am confident that my path will unfold each step of the way. I have never had the feeling of “being called” to do something until now. I am excited, motivated and grateful to begin the journey towards creating a more peaceful planet and plan to write books and speak publicly so as to teach people that every single one us has the power to change the world.

I encourage everyone to experience this life-changing methodology. Thank you Dr. Iratcabal for your guidance and support!

Many people go through life demonstrating behavioral patterns that are not inline with their life dreams or life goals. They may want one thing, but their behavior—often unconsciously—consistently severs progress towards achieving their goals. Feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, inferiority, uncertainty and other feelings about oneself that prevents living a healthy and productive life are often imprinted on the brain while in utero.

While in utero, our neuronal tissues develop in response to our mothers’ physical and emotional experiences. From conception through all stages of embryonic and fetal development our foundational personality patterns are being developed. Babies are not born with a “clean slate;” we are born with the a predisposition to the multitude of emotional and psychological states experienced by the mother throughout her pregnancy—especially as her experiences relate to her prenatal baby.

When the mother is properly nurtured and is emotionally and physically healthy, happy  and secure, the developing prenate is provided the most optimal developmental environment. The opposite is also true: a less than optimal prenatal environment sets the stage for diminished potential and a predispositiontowards negative feelings of oneself and low self-esteem.

Negative imprinting happens when the mother is under extreme stress. Patterns and non-verbal associations are imprinted on the prenate at a cellular level, causing seemingly unexplained maladaptive personality patterns. Negative imprinting becomes embedded in the very formation of our perceptual filters, affecting the way we later perceive and cope throughout the duration of life.

Prenatal re-imprinting allows us to selectively access and influence the paleocortex—the area of the brain that houses our emotions—bypassing conscious mental processes, and the dominant verbal patterns in the neocortex. Prenatal re-imprinting goes straight to the roots of the maladaptive personality that are difficult to access through verbal therapies that act through the normally dominant neocortex.

Prenatal re-imprinting techniques allows the neocortex—the verbal part of the brain— to be in a passive state and directly accesses the limbic system within the paleocortex, creating quick (often immediate) shifts in a person’s personality.

By removing the negative imprints on the neocortex, prenatal re-imprinting can help individuals achieve greater wellness, a stronger more loving sense of self, increase one’s confidence and provide a sense of emotional security that enhances all areas of a person’s life.
