Energy Healing Methods « Soul Detective – Heal emotional pain …
From souldetective.net/2011/04/energy–psychology-modalities/
Allergy Antidotes was created by Sandi Radomski, ND, LCSW, DCEP, and specializes in noninvasive treatment of physical and emotional reactions to food and other substances. Radomski and her colleague Paula Shaw also developed Imprint 24-7 labels to wear affirmations on the body. See www.allergyantidotes.com
Be Set Free Fast (BSFF) was developed by clinical psychologist Larry Nims, PhD, one of the first professionals trained by Dr. Roger Callahan. BSFF simply and gently releases the subconscious unresolved emotional roots and self-limiting belief systems that perpetuate problems. See www.besetfreefast.com
Bodymind Healing Psychotherapy, developed by Michael Mayer, PhD, draws together energy psychology with traditional forms of psychotherapy, bodymind and symbolic approaches to healing, hypnosis, psycho-neuroimmunological research, and ancient sacred wisdom traditions. See www.bodymindhealing.com
Bioenergetic Emotional AccessMethod (BEAM) was developed by Toronto physician Joan Beattie, MD. BEAM uses muscle testing to identify unprocessed trauma, the dysfunctional patterns associated with it, and the toxins embedded with this process. BEAM then peels away these layers, one by one, with a chakra-based procedure and vials imprinted with emotional/toxin vibrational frequencies. See www.beamtherapy.org
Dynamic Energetic Healing (DEH) was created by Mary Hammond, MA, LPC, DCEP; Howard Brockman, LCSW; and Nancy Gordon, LCSW. It integrated their learnings from various energy psychology trainers. Brockman published on coupling DEH with his shamanic work, and Hammond published on using the DEH protocol in her clinical practice. See www.dynamicenergetichealing.com and www.onedynamicenergetichealing.org
Earth Release is the work of Rev. Diana Burney, a certified hypnotherapist and an ordained minister who teaches courses on developing intuition. For information on the spiritual clearings she provides for people, dwellings, businesses, animals, and real estate worldwide, see www.earthrelease.com
Educational Kinesiology, created by Paul Dennison, PhD, and his wife, Gail Dennison, is now known as Edu-K or Brain Gym. One of the pioneers of energy work, Dr. Dennison overcame his own learning challenges and became an internationally known educator. See www.braingym.org
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), developed by Gary Craig, uses a standard treatment to eliminate psychological reversals, then taps meridian points on the head and torso, top to bottom. For more information on EFT and a free download of the EFT manual, see www.emofree.com
Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods (EDxTM)was developed by Fred Gallo, PhD. Dr. Gallo also developed a short global treatment called Negative Affect Erasing Method (NAEM) or Midline Energy Treatment (MET) that can be used to treat a wide range of psychological problems. A prolific author and the originator of the term “energy psychology,” more information on Dr. Gallo is on the ACEP website at www.energypsych.org
Evolving Thought Field Therapy (EvTFT) is the work of psychologists John H. Diepold Jr., PhD and Sheila S. Bender, PhD, and social worker Victoria Britt, MSW. Dr. Diepold developed a Touch and Breathe (TAB) alternative treatment approach for meridian-based psychotherapies. See www.tftworldwide.com
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) was developed by Francine Shapiro, PhD, and uses eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the system process information. For more information, see the EMDR Institute website at www.emdr.com
Family Constellation Work, developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, teaches that the family as a whole has a soul. Actions of every member impact the whole family system, and leaving anyone out hurts the whole system. See www.hellinger.com
Focusing, the work of Eugene T. Gendlin, PhD, provides direct access to bodily knowing by “listening” to a physical symptom long enough to interact with it. Staying with these physical clues opens up a wealth of information to use for change. See www.focusing.org
Guided Self Healing (GSH), developed by Andrew Hahn, PsyD, uses a psychospiritual mind-body framework for healing and transformation. Muscle testing accesses the client’s inner wisdom to remove energetic blocks to creating one’s dreams and intentions. See www.guidedselfhealing.org
The Healing Codes, originated by Alex Loyd, ND, PhD, use muscle testing both to find the origin of the stress involved in a problem and to identify a series of hand positions a client can use to activate healing within the body. Practitioners teach clients who get the Healing Codes package how to use these sequences and corresponding affirmations for self-help. See www.thehealingcodes.com
Healing from the Body Level Up (HBLU), developed by Judith A. Swack, PhD, finds blockages to self-actualization using muscle testing to connect with a person’s knowing at the deepest level of being. Then HBLU teaches people how to remove these interfering patterns at all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. See www.jaswack.com
Healing Touch developed by Janet Mentgen, BSN, RN, HNC, CHTP/I, as a medically based energy therapy training program for nurses. Healing Touch practitioners use their hands in a heart-centered, intentional way to support physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing with noninvasive touch to clear, energize, and balance the energy centers and the human biofield. See www.healingtouch.net
Inner Counselor, a system developed by Ann Nunley, MFA, PhD, and taught at Holos University, connects with “Inner Wisdom” to find the level of consciousness of the true healer that lies within each of us. See www.innercounselor.com for a free download of Nunley’s Integration Chart and a discussion of how to use this whole systems approach to self-healing and integration. For Holos University, see www.innercounselor.com and www.holosuniversity.org
Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), developed by Rev. Stevan Thayer, works with the energy of the angelic realm for healing. Easy to learn and practice, IET identifies areas on the cellular map of the body where trauma and negative emotions are stored and releases them by calling on an angelic ray to do the clearing. See www.LearnIET.com and www.CenterOfBeing.com
Jaffe-Mellor Technique (JMT) was developed by Carolyn Jaffe, DAc, bPhD, and Judith Mellor, RN, PhD. One of the many protocols JMT developed is called Directional Eye Movement Therapy, a technique that restores the flow of energy to scar tissue by testing muscle strength while holding twelve different eye positions and then using eye movements to restore strength to any positions that tested weak. See www.jmttechnique.com
Lindwall Releasing Process, the work of Isa (1919–2007) and Yolanda Lindwall, is a simple process of releasing negative thoughts, emotions, and memories through affirmative statements of release and then using affirmations to instill positive qualities to replace the negative ones. The technique can be used alone or with a trained Releasing facilitator. See their website for more information at www.lindwallreleasing.org
Matrix Energetics, the work of Richard Bartlett, D.C., N.D., takes a quantum leap in energy healing. Based on scalar physics, Bartlett expands the realm of what is possible, integrating multiple modalities that he has mastered. For practitioner trainings, see his website at www.matrixenergetics.com
NeuroModulation Technique (NMT), the Feinberg Method, developed and taught by Leslie S. Feinberg, D.C. since 2002, is based on the concept that an important aspect of disease is informational—that wrong instructions result in wrong function. Rather than treat any specific disease, NMT uses muscle response testing and other energetic assessment to identify and correct the informational basis of illness, releasing the mind-body’s natural ability to heal itself of physical and emotional problems. Commonly improved or resolved problems include chronic pain, TMJ syndrome, childhood and adult food and environmental allergies, and auto-immune conditions. See www.neuromodulationtechnique.com
Psychoenergetic Healing (PEH), the work of Martin F. Luthke, PhD, DCEP, and Linda Stein-Luthke, brings in the metaphysical realm by calling in Beings of Light and setting therapy inside sacred pyramids of light, anchored at the four corners and the apex by archangels. See www.u-r-light.org
REMAP, developed by Steve B. Reed, LPC, LMSW, LMFT, DCEP, assesses with client self-report rather than muscle
testing and uses all the points on a meridian for treatment. See www.remap.net
Seemorg Matrix Work recently renamed Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), was developed by Asha Clinton, a Jungian analyst. AIT accesses unconscious material through muscle testing and then moves energy through the body’s major energy centers (chakras) to eliminate the traumatic roots and residue of targeted problems. This depth approach has had success treating personality disorders, dissociative disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders, See www.seemorgmatrix.org
Soul Detective protocols, developed by the Dr. Barbara Stone, work with earthbound spirits and past life trauma using the tools of energy psychology, the subject of this book. See www.souldetective.net
Spiritual Energetic Healing (SEH) developed by Debra Gordy, MS, MRET, is an integrative, holistic, intuitively guided healing protocol. SEH integrates Debra’s expertise as a teacher of universal spiritual principles in marriage and family therapy and life & relationship coaching. SEH includes Rapid Eye Technology and Soul Detective protocols to find and release the hidden causes of personal and relationship problems at their root. For more information and a free newsletter, see www.DebraGordyMS.com
Tao of Presence is a protocol developed by Mayer
Kirkpatrick, LAc, based on the premise that the most important gift one
can give to another person is Presence. This protocol includes body
scanning for somatic clues and a blend of energy psychology methods to release negativity and to come fully into the present moment with one’s whole being. Mayer can be contacted at [email protected]
Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) was originated by Tapas Fleming, an acupuncturist. TAT holds the hands on the front and back of the head in a specific configuration while focusing on a series of steps to desensitize trauma and bring the system back to balance. For more information and a free download of a self-help booklet on “How to do TAT,” see www.tatlife.com
The Grace Process (TGP), developed by Lori Leyden, PhD, is a transformative spiritual practice for healing our judgments, opening to forgiveness, and expanding our vision for personal and global healing. See websites www.thegraceprocess.com, www.magical-living.com, and www.createglobalhealing.org
Therapeutic Touch (TT), cofounded by Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz, balances and promotes the flow of energy in the human energy field. Kunz used her natural ability to perceive blockages and disturbances in the rhythms in a patient’s energy field to develop an understanding of the universal healing field from which both patients and healers can draw healing energies. See www.therapeutictouch.org
Theta Healing dialogues directly with the unconditional love of the Creator for all that is. For more information and the extraordinary story of its developer, Vianna Stibal, see www.ThetaHealing.com
Thought Energy Synchronization Therapies (TEST) were developed by Greg Nicosia, PhD, BCFE, DCEP. Nicosia trained in many pioneering psychotherapies, including biofeedback, EMDR, and Thought Field Therapy, and has expanded the range of effective application of energy psychology with his understanding of the quantum mechanics behind these healing modalities. See www.thoughtenergy.com
Thought Field Therapy, now a generic description for meridian-based energy psychology, was originated by psychologist Roger Callahan, PhD. TFT gently taps on points on the meridian system to desensitize the negative emotions associated with a targeted problem and then to install the positive correlates. TFT is highly effective with trauma, phobias, and anxiety disorders. See appendix E and www.tftrx.com
Whole Healing-Easily and Effectively (WHEE) is a hybrid of EFT and EMDR developed by Daniel J. Benor, MD, who presented a teleclass for ACEP on WHEE on February 20, 2007, available to ACEP members online (www.energypsych.org) in the Teleclass Library.
