About David Bates 

Hi it’s David Bates here.

I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you a bit about myself, how I ended up doing what I do, and most importantly, how I can help you get the results you want in your life. 

 Where it started.

I have been heavily involved in self-improvement since the age of fourteen, when I was introduced to an audio recording of Stephen Covey’s ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’.

It immediately captivated me - the concept that by changing the way I think, and by adopting a ‘winning attitude’ I could change the results I was getting in any area, regardless of my natural aptitude for that skill.

I learned that I could succeed with ‘attitude’ alone, and that that was more important than ‘aptitude’.

From that point on, I began an intensive study of every self-help, motivational material I could get my hands on. After a while, there was not a single self-help course, book or concept that I had not heard of and tried.

During my teenage years and early twenties, I was involved in a lot of sports and high level martial arts. It wasn’t enough for me to be average or even ‘good’. In everything I did, I had to take it to the highest level possible. I had to be ‘supernatural’. Because of this, the only thing which mattered to me was results. If something did not get results, I could not waste my time with it.

At the age of sixteen I started playing the piano. Within two years I was playing some of the most difficult pieces written for piano. Many who saw me play would describe my playing as ‘genius‘ and ‘bordering on impossible’.

I always wanted to find out the psychology and ‘attitude’ of success. In my favour I had two characteristics. One was that I knew that I could work at something harder than anyone else could even imagine. Blood, sweat and tears was just the beginning for me.

When practicing the piano, I would not stop until I couldn’t hold myself up on the piano stool. When at the gym, I would not leave until I could barely lift my arms to the steering wheel to drive my car.

The other characteristic which was in my favour was that regardless of the obstacles which got in my way, I would never, ever give up. Quitting before I achieved the result I wanted was an unknown concept to me.

Regardless of the difficulties and setbacks which came my way, like an angry bulldog I would hold on and plow through until I achieved my goals. With these two attitudes in my favour, I figured there was nothing which was out of my reach.

However there was one problem. 

All through my life I was plagued with a constant sadness, frequently fluctuating into depression. None of the positive thinking, self-help material I was religiously practicing could do a thing against it, and no amount of hard work and determination would make it go away.

Not only that - but while when it came to health, fitness and other ‘skills’ I was untouchable - when it came to relationships, it was completely out of my reality to have a relationship which was not loaded with pain. No matter what I read on the subject, and no matter what I tried, I could not have a relationship which was not even more of a stress than being single.

At one point it got to the stage where, for the first time in my life, I nearly gave up. 

My study of self-help, along with my martial arts training, eventually led me to study different therapies.

I studied physical therapies ( massage, acupressure), energetic therapies (reiki, quantum touch, pranic healing) and psychological therapies (NLP, hypnotherapy, matrix therapy). I took to these like a hungry kid to a cheeseburger. I practiced these on friends whenever I could, but as much as I could, I would practice them on myself.

I thought perhaps these would hold the answers to my problems.

Most people collect self-help materials for the hope that it gives them, but don’t actually use them. Most people will practice different therapy techniques on other people, but don’t really try it on themselves.

Not me!

If I was required to do an exercise for twenty minutes a day, for thirty days, I would do it for forty minutes a day for sixty days - and I would make sure I did it properly.

However, while these therapies and self-help materials all have definite value, for what I wanted them for, they didn’t work. Still I had the sadness and depression, and still I was either single and lonely, or in a relationship fraught with pain.

I also had nowhere near the lifestyle and the finances I wanted to have.

Then in 2007, the movie ‘The Secret’ came out…

The first time I saw it, I was taken.

It was just what I always wanted - to be able to ‘attract’ things and have them just come to me, without the hard work and blood, sweat and tears which had been the story of my life.

From that moment on, I knew that the ‘Law of Attraction’ was where it was at. All my energies were going into getting the ability to ‘manifest’.

So I got to work.

Straight after The Secret came out, there were all manner of information products coming out about how to use The Secret and how it works, and how to become a ‘supernatural manifestor’ (which of course was what I wanted to be).

I did them all.

I read all the theory, did all the manifesting meditations, all the weird incantations and all the creative visualisations. I even did special breathing exercises which were supposed to fill me up with creative force and remove all the stuck energy working against me.

But like a lot of people who (largely misunderstood) The Secret, I became disillusioned.

I found that it wasn’t quite as easy as just asking for what you want and then waiting for it to come to you. The realisation came right in my face when one day I was talking with a group of people about it and while I was saying how great it was, someone in the group asked me “Have you ever manifested anything which has just come to you, exactly as you asked for it?” No matter how I tried to look at it and reframe it and consider it, the answer could only come out as “Nothing”.

Something in my mind must have snapped at that point, because it was not long after that that I came across a flyer advertising a healing modality called Theta Healing, which was supposed to help you manifest stuff. Things happened very quickly after that and in the next few days I found myself doing the Theta Healing basic course.

What happened after that was like a dream.

With this new healing modality, I could not just discover what my limiting beliefs were, I could actually change them. All the therapies I’d studied up to that point could only discover what the beliefs were at the bottom of the problems, and that was it.

As if just knowing what the beliefs were would change them - having ‘the light of awareness’. I had a lot of that. I knew what my problems were. I just wanted them fixed.

After I learned the Theta Healing technique of finding and changing limiting beliefs and teaching  empowering ones, I was like a wide-eyed kitten with a big ball of wool. I went crazy changing beliefs, finding more, changing them and installing positive beliefs. Every day in every spare moment I had I would do belief work on myself. And every time I would do belief work, I would see something change in my life.

After two weeks of this, driving to work one day I noticed that for the first time for as long as I could remember, the sadness and the depression were gone. The change was so great it was physical. I had to tell myself to slow down because I would walk with the same degree of effort, yet I seemed to be moving twice as fast.

My eyesight completely changed and everything around me looked twice as bright and colourful. Not only that, but I had a back injury from gymnastics which had gotten so painful that I was lined up to trial a back brace for when I was working. One day I realised that the back injury had completely gone. 

All of a sudden, everything which I had tried to manifest before just came to me in one big hit. It was like my orders had built up and were being fulfilled all at once. I finally found out what it feels like to ask for things and have them just come to you.

It’s amazing to me that a lot of people still don’t believe that that can happen. Now I manifest things all the time.

All my relationships improved, in every area.

For the first time in my life I was able to remove the pain which plagued my relationships and manifest happy relationships, exactly the way I chose them.

In the beginning I didn’t want to heal people with Theta Healing.

The technique was so powerful I wanted to keep it all to myself. I wanted to keep it as a secret weapon. However, the more I would use it here and there to ‘help someone out’, the more I discovered that my passion was in healing people and watching them transform right before my eyes.

Why Should You Believe That I Can Help You? 

Because of where I’ve been, I know what it’s like to be stuck in depression and sadness, wishing against all hope that someone or something will come and take you out of it and remove the pain.

I know what it’s like to be lonely day after day, begging anyone who is up there to give you someone to take away the loneliness, and yet when someone does come along, to have things so painful that being lonely was actually better.

But more than that I know what it’s like to put all your time, energy and money into a ‘cure’ which doesn’t work. A hope which results in more desperation. 

I only ever wanted things which got results, and I can confidently say that what I do gets results. I honestly hope that you get a TON of value from what I have to give.
