Metaphysical Psychotherapy What is Energy Psychology? Physicists have discovered what religions and healers from the East have known for thousands of year: we are more than the sum of our parts.  Human beings are more than just the sum components of the body and the brain.  At our core we are beings of Energy.  A car will not run if the battery is dead.  Human beings are not alive if they have no energy.  In medicine today we have the growing field of complementary or alternative medicine.  This field comes out of the recognition that we are more than just biochemical beings.  If you ask a medical doctor traditionally trained why the body loses weight after it dies he will explain that energy has been released.  Is this the soul?   Ancient civilizations have the awareness that there is a life force that flows through us:  In China it is called Chi;  hence Tai Chi;  In India it is called Prana and pranic breathing is one of the basic exercises in Yoga practice;  In the Bible it is called Ruach.  When we are sick: spiritually, mentally or physically there is a blockage in our energy;  We are not flowing freely.  Common examples we can all relate to are depression which we associate with low or no energy or anxiety ? where it feels more like blocked or repressed energy i.e. underlying fear that is bubbling through.  The solution is unblocking or resolving the energy blocks and bringing our energy field back into balance.  Energy Psychology techniques allow us to access the mind/body's energy pathways to gently and safely resolve these blocks so we can return to a state of balance.  When we are in balance our minds are clear, our hearts are open and our body is in a state of relaxation.   Energy therapy resolves emotional distress using the energy centers of the body.  In the process negative, limiting beliefs and emotional patterns are replaced with positive beliefs, emotions and qualities.  Meditation is also part of the healing process. In a Bowen Therapy session, the patient lies on a bed, wearing loosely fitting clothing, and relaxes, while the therapist applies a specifically located series of gentle movements across the body. The movements are composed of a challenge to a body of muscles, tendons or nerves and a release of the tension vibrates through to the nerve within the area. The result is a balancing not only of the structural   system, but also at the level of the individual?s overall well-being.
