About the Metamorphic Technique

The METAMORPHIC TECHNIQUE ®  is a simple practice that combines two elements:
first, a gentle touch is applied to areas of the feet, hands and head that correspond to the spine, as identified in Reflexology and in a further development called Pre-Natal Therapy. It was then proposed that the spine holds memories from the past and that these may become ‘unanchored’ and rise to the surface of awareness for review.


However, a second element that is unique to the Metamorphic Technique, is known as ‘detachment’. It allows the practitioners to leave aside their personal beliefs and assumptions and to make no attempt to help or influence any process that may be going on for the client. This creates a relaxed environment of freedom from manipulation and it reflects a respect for the innate capacity of people to direct their own lives.

 

Since the Technique is a practice, rather than a therapy or an energy/spiritual healing session, there is no need to take a case history or to offer advice or guidance. The client is simply invited to put their feet up and enjoy the experience. They can talk or be quiet if they wish.

 

For some, the environment provided during a session can coincide with insights and memories surfacing naturally, without any external guidance or interference by the practitioner. Clients can experience a session as ‘something quite profound’ but hard to describe or explain, and sometimes people report that having a session helped them to understand how influences from the past affect their everyday life - something they were not fully aware of. For almost everyone, a session is usually experienced as very comfortable and relaxing.
