Energy Body Work

Real healing can be described as re-aligning with spirit, or as bringing the spirit into earthly manifestation. But what does this mean in practical terms?
Most traditions and cultures have had a knowledge of subtle anatomy, in which the physical body is linked to spirit through a series of ‘subtle bodies’. Ours is perhaps the first culture that has ignored such knowledge, with the obvious resultant limitations - a science that cannot understand living processes, a medical tradition that sees no further than the physical.
But there’s hope! Many in our culture know intuitively that we do have a number of ‘energy bodies’ of increasing subtlety and that life extends beyond the physical. And many of those who know devote themselves to some form of healing work, which could also be called ‘energy work’.
Such ‘energy body work’ seeks to access in some way the subtle energies beyond the physical, and having accessed it, make changes that will bring the bodies back into better alignment, resulting in greater harmony and health on all levels. For example, flower essences and homeopathy use tinctures or distillations which contain the appropriate vibrational medicine which affects the ‘etheric’ body; acupuncture removes blockages in energy in the meridians of the ‘energy body’; and even certain forms of ‘conscious-mind’ therapy are unwittingly accessing the energy body when they are accidentally successful!
Indeed, research by Eugene Gendler, the developer of the Focusing technique, showed that success in counseling of any kind could be predicted accurately from the first session of treatment - if the client was either encouraged to, or was naturally able to access her energy body (or ‘go inside’, or access the ‘subconscious’) while undergoing the treatment, she was highly likely to have a successful outcome. In short, the conscious mind has very little to do with it!
My healing practice, which I simply call ‘Energy Body Work’, uses a synthesis of techniques from a number of disciplines with one express aim - to make direct contact with the Energy Body of the client and work with the client to make changes at that level. Such techniques include EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), martial arts techniques, Ki Energetics, etc. An important aspect of this approach is therefore to develop or maximise the client’s ability to ‘go inside’, and to develop a rich working relationship with her own energy body. This includes the realisation that all body sensations are messages from the energy body, and that if they are listened to in an attentive way, will reveal a great deal about her.
At the base of this work is the knowledge that each person’s energy body remembers everything about her, knows best how to heal her, and is her link to her spirit and to the rest of the world. If a healer works from this perspective then no matter what treatment modality is used, the result for the client will be a truly energising release!
