Energy psychology is a fast growing series of
interventions that originated in Applied Kinesiology. Like EMDR, Energy
Psychology is founded in the fact that as humans, we are natural healers. It
focuses on the electro-magnetic energy systems that are integral to any living
organism. You may remember from your high school science courses that every
living cell is surrounded by an electro-magnetic energy field, with north and
south poles. From this cellular level up, you can see that electro-magnetic
fields are integral to our lives-from each cell, to each organ, to each system,
to each living organism, to the earth itself with its poles and gravitational
pull. There are, in fact, eight different energy systems organized around each
living organism. In Energy Psychology, the idea is that if the energy systems
are blocked, scrambled or depolarized, emotional problems will result and
healing will be blocked. Therefore, energy healing concerns itself with getting
the energy systems flowing the right way. There are a large number of different
therapies that operate from these principles-a prominent example is
acupuncture. Acupuncture follows the principals of ancient Chinese medicine
that now, after much critical skepticism, is more accepted and understood by
conventional Western medicine. Other energy techniques include therapeutic
touch, muscle testing (for allergies etc), reiki, reflexology, sacro-cranial
work and the energy psychology techniques, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT),
Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT), and the Seemorg Matrix chakra work.
Here at the NSTC we can offer energy techniques
to enhance EMDR trauma therapy, for those who are interested. In addition to
the therapeutic techniques, there are simple energy routines that can
potentiate the work done in therapy. Clients can learn powerful techniques for
home use, to assist them in maintaining both physical and emotional health.
