What is Psychophysical Healing?

Psychophysical healing works on the bio-energetic field of the body. It safely releases blockages in the energy field which have been produced by mental, emotional or physical traumas. It can produce a feeling of lightness and well-being which follows from the freedom of the energy flowing through the whole system. Many diseases and illnesses manifest first as an imbalance in the
bio-energetic field before being expressed as physical symptoms.

Psychophysics has also now been utilised in many mind-body therapies such as Somatic Experiencing, the Hakomi Method, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Rubenfield Synergy, Integrative Body Psychotherapy and other modalities.

Can everybody be healed?
Healing is a natural process which takes place when the barriers to health are removed. The role of the Psychophysical Therapist is to ensure that the energy flows so that the person can allow themselves to be well.

What can Psychophysical healing work on?
Treatment can be divided into four basic types:
1. Removing the blocks due to accident and surgical shock, restoring the vitality and promoting healing of the body.
2. Building up and opening channels which have been blocked since birth or early childhood so that these channels can contain a full charge of energy.
3. The release of emotional blockages caused by traumatic events without the need to relive them.
4. Maintenance of good health by cleansing the energy of the person so that maximum well-being is encouraged.

Is it safe?
Beautifully safe, no drugs, no surgery, no pain; just a smooth rebalancing of the body’s natural energies. The responsible Psychophysical Therapist will also suggest other treatment (even orthodox medicine) if warranted.

Why is it necessary to disrobe?
Any metal (rings, earnings, etc) interfere significantly with the energy field. Similarly, nylon and other synthetics in fabrics, even those which claim to be cotton or wool, distort and unbalance the energy field to varying degrees. This can give a false indication of the way the energy is flowing. For modesty you will not be expected to remove your underpants.

How many sessions are required?
The number of visits required can vary from 1 to 10 or more. Most troubles however are resolved in 2 or 3 sessions. A session can last up to an hour (and occasionally longer), the fee is not subject to time taken.

What is Mesmerism?

Mesmerism is a relaxing technique which produces an altered state of awareness. It may be used in addition to hypnotherapy in helping release free-floating anxiety. Frequently it is the treatment of choice for the patient suffering from endogenous or major depression. It allows the sufferer to take a step back from being focused on repetitious thoughts so creating the opportunity for change and greater centeredness. Probably best described by the results it brings about, the following are self reports from subjects in a study conducted by Dr James McGarry (1980) in answer to the question “how did that feel?”

"So beautiful. I was just a point of consciousness floating on waves of energy. I felt so safe".

"Not relaxed. But funny. I lost my body just following my thoughts. Then I lost myself".

"Quiet, sedate. No thoughts. Just feeling lighter”.

Mesmerism is often and incorrectly considered to be a primitive forerunner to hypnosis.
