Emotional Healing
Gentle Bioenergetics
Restore the natural flow of life energy.
Developed in the lineage of Eva Reich, Gentle Bio-Energetics works with the pulsating life energy at our centre — using talk and gentle touch to melt the 'armouring' formed around early trauma and restore free flow.
At our centre or core is a life energy that pulsates, expanding and contracting — a characteristic of all living things. We experience this life energy through the flow of emotions and sensations. From conception to the present we experience traumas that affect this flow, and we develop armour (usually unconscious) to protect ourselves. That armour helps us survive but shuts down the flow of life energy.
The goal of Gentle Bio-Energetics education and therapy is to help each person identify their armouring mechanisms, heal any underlying conscious or unconscious memories, and restore the natural flow of life energy. Eva Reich called it 'glow and flow': the life energy glowing at the centre of our being is freed to flow into our energetic field.
Gentle Bio-Energetics works with cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the person. It is not just a body therapy, but it does address memory held in the body — pre-verbal trauma, unconscious states and trance states. Through gentle touch, the earliest and deepest memories stored in cells and body tissues can be reached.
The aim of Gentle Bio-Energetics
- Apply techniques immediately when a trauma happens, to avoid needing therapy years later.
- Help individuals recover and heal memories of trauma that have been held in the body for years.
