Core Energetics
Sun, 2006-06-04 18:22 — David HerronDescription:
Core Energetics is a process for life and healing based on a powerful evolutionary therapeutic approach that seeks the integration of all aspects of our humanity-the emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual. This process is built on the foundation of the work of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Wilhelm Reich, as well as the foundations of human development and object relations theories. As part of this gestalt, the Core Energetic approach also incorporates the spiritual aspect of being reflected in the Pathwork transmissions of Eva Pierrakos.
Core Energetics is based on a deep understanding of the ways in which energy and consciousness work together in the transformative process of healing. The vision of the work is to invite a deeper experience and identification with one's core energy and feelings, releasing the individual to create his or her life from this personal yet universal center. This is achieved gradually by bringing consciousness, movement and, ultimately, transformation to the core's overlaying defensive structures. The result is the release of a vast amount of energy, creating vitality, greater life fulfillment, joy and pleasure.
Founded more than 20 years ago by John C. Pierrakos, M.D., the International Institute of Core Energetics is a world-wide organization with its international headquarters in New York City. The Institute's training program is offered to mental health professionals, psychotherapy trainees, somatics practitioners, and those in the healing arts who wish to enhance the depth of their professional practice as well as their own personal evolution.
The Institute offers a broad spectrum of professional training programs, seminars, workshops, and lectures in many locations worldwide , including New York, California, Georgia, Illinois, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Australia..

Bioenergetics
Sun, 2006-06-04 18:16 — David HerronDescription:
Bioenergetics is a way of understanding personality in terms of the body and its energetic processes. It links physical pain, muscle tension, and postural disorders with state of mind, demonstrating that suppressed emotions, unhappiness, and anger can block energy-flow and cause physical distress.
Bioenergetic Analysis is a form of therapy that combines work with the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems and realize more of their potential for pleasure and joy in living.
Bioenergetics, developed by Alexander Lowen, is based on the teachings of Wilhelm Reich, the father of modern Body Psychotherapies. It includes both manipulative procedures, counseling and special exercises, and is designed to help "normal" individuals and people with affective/psychological problems as well.

The Australian College of Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapy is an independent training and research institute established to deliver quality professional training programmes and professional development courses, and to initiate and co-ordinate research projects in the field of Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapy.
Contemporary Somatic Psychotherapy embraces a comprehensive and holistic approach to personal growth and development. This approach acknowledges that all facets of human experience are interrelated: that the processes of the body and mind not only affect and reflect each other, but are interfunctioning aspects of a person's whole being, and that each person's individual history, their social context and somatically-based subjective reality are all inextricably interconnected.

Subtle Touch
Wed, 2006-05-31 22:03 — David HerronLinks:
Description:
Subtle Touch is the name of a body psychotherapy method based on the Jungian theory and a series of bodywork techniques developed by Pethö Sandor. The first Subtle Touch technique created by Sandor in 1947 in Europe was named Calatonia. It consists in a series of nine touches to the feet, soles of the feet, heels, and calves. Usually performed in about 25 - 30 minutes, Calatonia is the most popular of the Subtle Touch techniques. Sandor said that Calatonia "cleansed" the body and psyche, providing to the therapist an overall insight about the patient's conditions. The Subtle Touch method has been used in Brazil since 1950.
