What is…   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?

 Subtle bodies

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. In other words, a good understanding of entropy due to an understanding of dead systems, but little comprehension of ‘neg-entropy’, that is, the obvious ability of living systems to develop greater complexity, greater organization, more life.

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’.

 Energy body 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!

 Accessing the energy body

Indeed, research by Eugene Gendler, the developer of the Focusing technique (which I use often as part of my practice), showed that success in counseling of any kind could be predicted accurately from the first session of treatment, no matter what style of treatment was used - 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! Using this understanding, I developed methods of accessing the energy body, as described below.

 My practice

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 techniques from Energy Psychology such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), martial arts techniques, Ki Energetics, the Focusing mentioned above, postural work, attentiveness work, mindfulness, Tolle’s Presencing techniques, 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 bodily and emotional 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.

And now that the ‘Freedom Now’ approach has been discovered, this entire process is faster and more complete, and soon in the hands of the client. See more on this on the home page.

 The energy body knows

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!

 

WHAT IS ENERGY BODY WORK?

By this I mean, firstly, my unique work in leading people back into their own bodies and energy bodies. Many people are ‘beside themselves’ or ‘out of their bodies’ due to the repeated habit of stress-induced responses to the various shocks of this world. Over time, people are just surviving, feeling little of what’s going on in the body except pain, dosing themselves with various tranquilising substances to maintain some equilibrium, and in short, retreating from a full and enjoyable sense of being embodied in the world. This happens by stealth, and usually under the conscious radar, so that initial sessions of Energy Body Work often come as a major surprise, as clients begin to realize how little they are experiencing of their bodies, their life force, their energy. This is always the first step in the process called Energy Body Work.

Training

I lead clients on a training that is constantly practiced between sessions, to deepen their experience of themselves, to change the habits of a lifetime, to begin to expand rather than contract as a response to life and to open the way to the wisdom of their bodies, on an energetic, mental and emotional level. The simple process of dropping back into the body is often a major healing, leading to a number of ’unblockings’ almost automatically. Methods of helping people to ’drop in’ come from the various kinds of bodywork, martial arts, meditatitve practices, visualization, etc. Some people are very adept quickly, others need to be taught slowly.

This training is the essence of the work I do and it goes very deep—indeed, it is completely open-ended, and simply following the path of this work will eventually lead to the fluidity required to let go of habits of thought and emotion and posture which are the source of our ‘problems’.

It has been forgotten in our culture that the physical body is the gateway to our ‘energy body’, which some call the ‘etheric body’ or ‘body of formative forces’. Whatever it is called, it is the beginning of contacting our intuition, clairvoyance, and our direct connection to the ‘etheric’ of the world itself and everyone in it.

Focusing

Crucial to this process too is the importance of ‘entering’ whatever is happening during the session, whether it is discomfort, or some emotion, or a ‘felt sense’ in the body… This is the process called Focusing developed by Eugene Gendlin, a way of listening to the body/mind/emotions, which are always trying to communicate with us, so that we develop a deep connection with ourselves which allows us to let go of the various blockages and ‘stucknesses’ which have led to the issues which plague us.

 

One could say that we are using a process of constant expansion instead of contraction, or developing a fluidity of the energy body, or coming into a deeper relationship with ourselves by listening to all the many and varied messages we are being sent by our own systems.  The assumption also is that a living system is constantly trying to ‘heal’ itself, to find wholeness and harmony… it is only our ignorance or negligence which stops this

 

My current practice of Energy Body Work can also be described as a kind of ‘soul doctoring’ or ‘energy sleuthing’ or ‘energy counseling’. People would present themselves with some kind of insoluble problem, and together we work to find where the blockage is, which ‘body’ is most affected, and how to let it go. The first step in this process is always to ‘enter the body’ more deeply as described above, a process which is really an aligning of the subtle bodies as mentioned above. The physical/etheric level (or ’gross’ level in integral terminology) is the entrance to our subtle bodies.

Energy Body Work is a fast and safe way to find out what and where the blockages are in your system, and then to use appropriate techniques to 

· remove blockages and detoxify your system

· activate and energise your system

· get you in touch with your body and feelings

 

Energy Body Work works from the premise that we are a body-mind-spirit complex, and that psychological problems and negative thought patterns will often melt away after detoxification and energizing of the whole system.

Another premise is that we gain more than good health by participating actively in our own healing.

Structural Integration - similar to Rolfing, for balancing structural problems. A strong form of deep bodywork which I’ve integrated into my use of acupressure, shiatsu, etc.

 

Deep Tissue Massage (Chi Nei Tsung) - for bringing deeply held toxins to the surface for release

 

Ki Energetics - Energy management techniques allied to Aikido for centering, grounding, etc. This is allied to the Aikido training, and is the Japanese version of Chinese Chi Kung.

 

Postural work—similar to Alexander Technique, combining notions and practices from martial arts, Ki Energetics, etc.

 

Use of concentration and attention exercises to deepen alignment, and train ‘the astral body’.
