Our experience with PSYCH-K® in Bali: a deep dive into subconscious reprogramming
Our personal review of PSYCH-K® of the Basic and advanced workshops and the transformative journey we are glad we did not miss.
As the founders of YOGI TIMES, we’ve always championed the transformative power of inner work, whether through yoga, meditation, or other conscious practices. But when we first encountered PSYCH-K®, we were completely unfamiliar with it, which triggered our interest to find out more.
The opportunity to explore this process came up while we were traveling through Bali, just as the PSYCH-K® Basic and Advanced workshops were taking place. Intrigued by the possibility of a new form of transformation, we jumped at the chance to dive in—and what followed was a journey that completely shifted our understanding of subconscious change.
We had a sense that these workshops weren’t going to be just another self-help experience, and we were right. PSYCH-K® turned out to be a revolutionary process that empowers you to change the very beliefs that shape your reality.
After participating in both the PSYCH-K® Basic and Advanced workshops, we were left with a profound, life-altering experience that reshaped our perspective on personal transformation.
One of the key reasons our experience was so impactful was the incredible guidance of Martha Vargas, the lead instructor for both workshops. Martha’s expertise, warmth, and personal approach made the entire process not only easy to follow but also deeply transformative.
Martha´s ability to create a safe and nurturing space for profound inner work allowed us to connect with our subconscious in a way we had never experienced before. Her dedication to PSYCH-K® and her passion for helping others are truly inspiring, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have learned under her guidance.

Here’s what we discovered along the way, from our first deep dive into the subconscious to the powerful shifts we’re still integrating today.
Diving deep into subconscious transformation: Our PSYCH-K® workshop experience
PSYCH-K® is a step-by-step guide to reprogramming your mind and changing your reality.
PSYCH-K® is not about intellectualizing change; it’s about doing the work — actively reprogramming your subconscious mind. Both the Basic and Advanced workshops are designed to be immersive and hands-on, meaning you don’t just learn the theory; you actively participate in practices that rewire your mind.
The Basic workshop introduces you to foundational concepts, including understanding the mind-body connection, identifying limiting beliefs, and using Muscle Testing to communicate with your subconscious.
The Advanced workshop takes this a step further by diving into more complex techniques for transformation.
The workshops are split into live teaching sessions and practical exercises, giving you a balanced approach to understanding and applying the work in real-time. There’s a real sense of community, with group interactions and opportunities to reflect on your own experiences alongside others.
What stood out to us was how quickly the shifts started to happen. [Red: Personal experience of the first breakthrough moment after the Basic workshop]

The tools and techniques behind PSYCH-K®
The Basic workshop introduces the most essential PSYCH-K® processes, including “Balances,” which are methods used to align your conscious and subconscious minds. In the Advanced course, these processes are expanded and refined to deal with deeper layers of the subconscious.
In both workshops, you’ll learn how to use the Whole Brain State, a technique where both hemispheres of the brain are activated together, making belief change more effective and long-lasting.
We were surprised by the simplicity of the process and how immediately applicable it is. The PSYCH-K® methods are not just techniques to learn; they are tools you can apply instantly. Whether it’s working on fears, health issues, or limiting beliefs around abundance, PSYCH-K® provides a hands-on approach to clearing these blocks.

What we gained from PSYCH-K® Certification

After completing the Basic and Advanced workshops, you’ll receive official PSYCH-K® certification. While these workshops are not designed to give you a traditional “therapist” credential, they are a significant addition to any coach, therapist, or yoga teacher’s toolbox.
As we explored the material, we quickly realized how beneficial these tools could be for people already in the helping professions. The certification holds weight in the global wellness community, and with a personal experience of PSYCH-K®, you’ll find it invaluable as you work with clients in your own practice.

Essential tools for lasting transformation
The core materials provided during both workshops include detailed guides on each PSYCH-K® process, as well as access to recorded sessions for further practice. These resources are accessible and easy to use, with visual aids and instructional videos that walk you through each process step by step.
One of the most useful elements for us was the emphasis on practical tools for self-practice. The PSYCH-K® system isn’t something you learn once and forget about—it’s a lifelong resource that continues to evolve as you dive deeper into your own subconscious.

Beyond the workshops, PSYCH-K® supports ongoing growth and connection
After completing the Basic and Advanced workshops, PSYCH-K® offers ongoing support through additional resources, follow-up sessions, and a global community of practitioners. There’s no rush to “finish” the learning; rather, it’s a continuous journey. You’ll have access to these resources for ongoing growth and refinement.

What we loved and what we’d improve in the workshops
Pros
- Knowledgeable teaching: Outstanding delivery from the highly trained facilitator, Martha Vargas.
- Practical application: PSYCH-K® is about doing, not just learning. The tools you get in the workshop can be used immediately in everyday life.
- Transformational results: Even after just the Basic workshop, we began to notice subtle shifts in our mindset and behavior. By the time we completed the Advanced, those shifts were much more profound.
- Global accessibility: PSYCH-K® is available worldwide, and the online format makes it accessible for anyone, no matter where they live.
Cons
- Pace of Material for Some: While the Basic workshop is perfect for beginners, some may feel overwhelmed by the wealth of information in the Advanced course. However, this was a minor concern for us, as the content is easy to digest if you’re committed to doing the work.
- Time Commitment: Like any transformational process, PSYCH-K® requires time and commitment. It’s important to set aside the mental space to truly absorb the material and integrate the practices into your life.

A seamless learning experience: How PSYCH-K® Online Workshops deliver similar powerful results
After doing the in-person workshop, we also wanted to check how PSYCH-K would work when delivered online, and we got impressed with how seamlessly the platform works, especially given that these are deep, transformational workshops.
The design is intuitive, and the accessibility of the materials, whether through desktop or mobile devices, ensures you won’t miss any of the key components. Whether you’re in a live session or watching the recordings, everything is easy to follow and navigate.
[Red: After our experience, we’ll add how the online platform impacted the overall learning experience for us]
Real-time transformation: Our Experience with PSYCH-K®’s Online Live Sessions and Instructor Support
A key feature of PSYCH-K® is the live interaction with the instructor. Even though we were attending virtually, the real-time communication felt personal and engaging.
There were plenty of opportunities to ask questions, receive personalized feedback, and explore the material in more depth. The live sessions were the highlight for us, offering a chance to clarify doubts and hear others’ experiences, which deepened our understanding.
