Today, we sit down with Richard Flook, the creator of Advanced Clearing Energetics (ACE), to explore his journey from personal tragedy to becoming a pioneer in energetic healing. Richard shares his insights on trauma, toxicity, and the body’s natural ability to heal through his innovative ACE system. learn more in his exclusive MysticMag interview below.
Can you share a few details about yourself and your professional background?
I started in this field at a young age, following a deeply personal experience. My mother passed away from breast cancer when I was 12, and her death left me questioning why it had to happen. I realized there was a connection between her divorce and the onset of her illness. She moved far away to live with another man, and her death was a devastating experience for me and my brothers. It was this personal tragedy that led me to explore energetic healing and health from an early age.
I left school without pursuing a degree because I was troubled by the emotional weight of my mother’s passing and her divorce. However, I found my path by studying neurolinguistic programming (NLP), eventually becoming an NLP trainer. From there, I delved into various disciplines of energetics, including German New Medicine, which was spearheaded by Gert Hammer. I didn’t resonate with Hammer’s approach, and during another NLP training in California, I met Johannes Fischinger, who had developed META-Medicine, later known as META-Health. Unfortunately, internal conflicts within that organization led me to leave and create my own system, Advanced Clearing Energetics.
Along the way, I’ve studied many healing modalities, including EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Matrix Reimprinting, and various esoteric teachings. My professional journey has been fueled by a passion to understand why we get sick and how we can truly heal. I’ve written several books on the topic, constantly striving to answer these fundamental questions.
Additionally, I’ve been part of the Academy of Comprehensive and Integrative Medicine in the United States and spent several years living in Canada. My experiences have shaped not only my professional background but also my personal mission to help others heal by addressing the energetic root causes of illness.
What is ACE and how does it work?
Advanced Clearing Energetics (ACE) was born out of wanting to go beyond META-Medicine, now called META-Health. My work with ACE builds on the foundations that a shock could manifest in specific layers of the brain, tied to embryological development. In ACE we go beyond this to explore how a shock truly affects the whole body and not just an organ.
I coined the term “UDIN moment” to describe these shocks. UDIN stands for something that is Unexpected, Dramatic, Isolating, and leaves us with No strategy. For example, imagine a woman who’s been married for 30 years, with children and grandchildren, only to have her husband reveal that he’s been having an affair with her best friend and is leaving. This event is unexpected and dramatic, and because she can’t talk to the people closest to her, it’s isolating. The situation also leaves her without a any strategy for dealing with the shock, as her usual way of coping is shattered.
This UDIN moment, or shock, carries a specific frequency, much like music. It hits the heart first, travels up to the brain, and then down into the belly. However, it also impacts specific cells in the body based on embryology, affects the mitochondria, the structured water inside the cells, and melanin. These components all function together as one quantum biological organism, which is how our bodies truly operate.
ACE allows us to communicate with these different areas: the heart, brain layers, belly, mitochondria, structured water, and melanin. By doing so, we can identify the traumatic event that triggered the disease and release the stored energy from that event and any related ones. This is a core unique element of ACE.
However, trauma isn’t the only factor—toxins are also a major concern. When I first started in this field in 1993, toxins were not that big a problem. However today, we are living in a soup of toxicity with enormous challenges from microwave radiation from mobile phones, wifi and cell phone towers, LED blue light from tech screens, geo-engineering, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and mold overgrowth, among others. These modern toxins compromise our health, and we are constantly battling their effects.
Moreover, medicine, entertainment, agriculture, and politics, are now completely controlled by a few powerful people, who financially gain from all of us remaining ignorant to the facts. The net effect is you have little or no knowledge as to how damaging these toxins are to your health as you age. As an example, a heavy user of mobile technology is experiencing the same ageing effects of smoking 30 or more cigarettes a day. All these things contribute to a toxic environment that affects not only our physical well-being, creating disease, mental illness, and cancers, but deep down they make us feel numb which affects our human spirit.
ACE addresses both trauma and toxins, allowing the body to return to its natural state of healing. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves, as evidenced by something as simple as a cut healing on its own. ACE helps facilitate this natural process, moving away from the conventional pill for an ill medical model and instead, embracing the body’s inherent ability to heal, whilst returning us to our natural space of spirit.
What different sessions do you offer and can you walk me through the most popular one?
I offer sessions based on the “Five Steps to Healing Energetically,” a framework I detail in my book, How Can I Heal?, which took me four years to compile. The five steps are designed to help us heal naturally and holistically. They include:
- Clearing underlying traumas;
- Reducing toxicity;
- Lowering inflammation;
- Changing the environment – this often involves adjustments in nutrition;
- Raising energy levels.
I work with clients for a longer duration, often spanning a month or two, or even longer if they are dealing with more severe or terminal illnesses. These comprehensive sessions cover all five steps.
The most popular session, however, focuses on releasing the underlying trauma, or what I call the “UDIN moment”—the significant stress or shock that contributes to the client’s physical or emotional issues. This usually requires just a couple of meetings.
For example, one client came to me with a thyroid issue. She had already had her thyroid removed due to cancer, but the underlying issue was related to a traumatic situation at work where she felt completely powerless. We worked through and released the trauma around that experience, and she is now in a much better space, physically and emotionally.
What courses do you offer and how are they structured?
The courses I offer are structured within a membership program, and they span various levels to guide participants through the different stages of healing and mastery. Here’s an overview of the structure:
- Level 1: This introductory level provides a basic understanding of how to find and clear traumas. It’s ideal for those starting out in energetic healing or looking to learn the fundamentals.
- Level 2: This level delves deeper into the connections between an organ, mind, heart, brain, belly, structured water, mitochondria and melanin, and how they all play their part in creating a disease. Then it covers how to assist a client to heal themselves energetically.
- Level 3: Here, we focus on psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, paranoia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and more. It also covers the exploration of sexuality and its relationship with energetic health.
- Level 4 (Trainer’s Training): This level is for those who want to teach and deliver the courses themselves. It’s designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to train others in energetic healing.
- Level 5 (Masters): This advanced level is where I introduce all the new material, going beyond the previous levels. It’s a deep dive into the cutting-edge concepts of energetic healing, drawing from my latest research and teachings.
The entire program is offered within a membership program, and members receive new training sessions each month. These monthly trainings are based on the latest material from my book “How Can I Heal?”, where I go into greater detail about the five steps to healing.
As an author, what books have you written and what are they about?
As an author, I have written several books that explore different aspects of health, healing, and energetic medicine. Here’s a brief overview of each:
Why Am I Sick? (2008)
This was my first book, and it dives into the work of Gert Hamer, the founder of German New Medicine, translating his often complex ideas into something more accessible for all readers. It provides insights into how traumas and energetic imbalances manifest as physical illnesses. Hay House later condensed this book into a more digestible weekend-read format, making the content even more accessible.
Why Should I Not Eat Genetically Modified Foods?
This book came about while I was doing research for “How Can I Heal?”. I discovered the significant health risks of genetically modified foods, which led me to write about it. The book offers essential information on why it’s critical to avoid GMOs for long-term health.
How Can I Heal?
This is my latest work, and I’m particularly proud of it. I began writing this book while working on my second book but felt it needed a much deeper exploration. I started the project in 2019 and completed it in 2023. The book contains over 1,600 citations and is meticulously researched, aiming to show that energetic medicine is a scientifically backed field, not something “woo-woo” or abstract. This book presents energetic healing as the original form of medicine and contrasts it with the pharmaceutical industry, which I argue is more interested in profit than in truly healing people. My focus in this book is on natural healing that allows people to thrive into old age without the need for constant medication or even supplements unless absolutely necessary.
Each of these books reflects my commitment to understanding the root causes of illness and promoting natural, energetic healing as a valid and essential approach to long-term health.
Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
I’d like to mention my recent research into the work of Dr. Jack Kruse and the quantum biological perspective on the human body. After 4 years of research, I’ve come to the conclusion that many of the answers to why we get diseases and how we can heal lie in the disruption of our natural circadian rhythms. Our bodies are deeply tied to the rhythms of the sun and night cycles, and when these are disturbed, it leads to illness.
One of the biggest disruptors of circadian rhythms is the way modern life instructs us to live. We’re told to avoid the sun, which is terrible advice. We spend hours in front of screens emitting blue light, which damages melanin in our brains, affecting our sleep, thinking and well-being. Interestingly, this discovery was first made by the early mafia, who realized that if you kept people indoors, away from natural light, fed them alcohol, and filled their environment with distractions such as topless women, they’d lose their sense of time and spend all their money gambling. It’s strikingly similar to our current society—we’re constantly exposed to screens, cut off from nature, and fed endless distractions with entertainment that has sexual content, all while our communities become more and more fragmented.
When we look at the way we’re being steered to live, especially what happened in the early 2020s, it’s clear that much of it is designed to lead us away from true health. The so-called solutions presented to us, including some questionable medical interventions, are all about profit rather than well-being. However, when you start to understand that you are a quantum biological being, designed to live outside, bathed in sunlight, and in sync with natural rhythms, you can begin to reclaim your health and energy.
In the end, we are amazing beings of light, running on electromagnetics, deeply connected to a higher source. That’s the foundation for true healing—understanding who we are and recognizing that mainstream medical practices are often more about making money than genuine healing.
