For personal growth and for those guiding others to breakthrough results.
What is the
Demartini Method?
The Demartini Method is a structured cognitive process designed to help individuals reframe perceptions, neutralize emotional charges, and experience greater clarity, resilience, and fulfillment
Through a guided series of balancing questions, it helps dissolve mental and emotional blocks, offering a powerful tool for personal growth, self-mastery, and professional coaching.
This methodology is used worldwide by individuals, coaches, leaders, and professionals seeking deeper insight, emotional balance, and transformation in all areas of life.
How does it work?
Every human has control over three things: perceptions, decisions, and actions. By shifting perceptions, the method naturally influences the decisions and actions that follow.
Through guided questions, the Demartini Method creates a new paradigm in thinking and feeling—helping individuals see situations objectively, find inspiration, and act with purpose and authenticity
As William James, the father of modern psychology, said:
“The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their perceptions and attitudes and mind.”
In short, every emotion is a by-product of the ratio of perceptions—and by transforming perceptions, we transform our emotional experience and our ability to act in the world.
A Method Backed by 50+ Years of Research
Developed by human behavior expert and polymath Dr John Demartini, the Demartini
Method draws on over five decades of research across fields like psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, physics,
theology, mathematics, and physiology. This multidisciplinary approach gives it the depth and precision that
sets it apart.
It’s the core methodology Dr Demartini uses in his signature Breakthrough Experience seminars and the
foundation of the Demartini Method Training Program, which equips both individuals and professionals to apply
the method for personal growth or to facilitate transformation in others.
7 Areas of Transformation
The Demartini Method empowers individuals and professionals to transform all key areas of life:

The Originator of the Demartini Method
Dr John Demartini is a human behavior expert, a polymath, philosopher, international speaker and
best-selling author. His work is a summation of over 264 disciplines synthesized from the greatest
philosophical, economic and scientific minds.
As the founder of the Demartini Method, his extensive curriculum helps individuals master their minds
and thereby master their lives. His tools and processes help individuals to increase the quality of
their lives, empower all aspects of their lives and achieve their goals and dreams.
How did The Demartini Method originate?
I have been asked many times by many people as I have traveled the world, how did I ever come up with the Demartini Method. This brief story is my reply!
At age 17, shortly after a near death experience, and upon meeting an amazing and inspiring teacher named Paul C. Bragg, I had a dream and vision to become a great teacher, healer and philosopher, to travel the world and step foot on every country on the face of the Earth, to share my research findings with those who were receptive and to live an amazing and privileged life. At age 18, while sitting on the floor of my room at my parent’s home, I began reading The Discourse on Metaphysics by Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, the German philosopher.
In the first chapter of this great classical book Leibniz shared his insights concerning what he called the Divine perfection, Divine beauty and Divine order in the universe. He believed there was an underlying, hidden order in the universe that very few people ever became aware of or understood. Their lives of those who did were changed forever, but the majority of people would never come to know the Divine order. As I read further, tears of inspiration came to my eyes. I felt in my heart that what he was sharing had some morsel of truth in it. I dreamed of being one of the few who became aware of and understood this hidden order
From that moment on I set out to find the universal principles that governed such an underlying order. This exploration led me to studying everything and anything that I could find that might assist me in this endeavor. I explored many disciplines – physics, astronomy, cosmology, mathematics, chemistry, theology, metaphysics, psychology, neurology and many dozens of others – all for the purpose of hopefully unveiling the keys to this underlying order.
During those early months of research I came upon a sub-discipline of physics, called Quantum Physics, through reading a book (The Principles of Quantum Mechanics – 1930, 1947) published by Paul Dirac. It was during this detailed study that I was introduced to the mind-expanding concepts of particles and waves, collapsing wave functions, and the generation and annihilation of particles. It is here that an intuitive leap occurred. It had been discovered in quantum physics that when charged particles of matter and their complementary opposite antiparticles of antimatter collided and were annihilated - light emerged. At once I wondered if two charged, yet complementary opposite emotional states were to be united, could enlightenment emerge. This was the very earliest conception of the Demartini Method. I pondered the possibility that true science (physics) and true religion (metaphysics) were somehow the same and both were somehow united by light.
Around the same time I also came upon a series of texts entitled the World of Mathematics by James Newman. The last chapter of the third text of this series was discussing Divine Beauty. Here it discussed how, when certain mathematical proportions were used in architectural design, they were perceived as sacred and initiated a state of grateful awe and inspiration in the human psyche of those viewing the edifice. I wondered at the time whether these same proportions could somehow be realized in human perceptions at will and whether they could be recognized and inherent in natural daily events. Over the years since then, I discovered that not only were these proportions lying within daily events but, that through a series of complementary quality questions, these awe-inspiring states could be realized and systematically initiated. The Demartini Method was born.
From that time forward new refinements and new insights have been incorporated periodically into this special method and application feedback has helped further develop the Demartini Method to where it is today – a powerful, transferable and reproducible tool for global human transformation.
