About the Metamorphic technique

The Metamorphic Technique, what is it?

The Metamorphic Technique is a simple tool that enables us to move from feelings of limitation towards accessing more of our potential. In short, it helps us to help ourselves.

During a session, as a practitioner I use a light touch on my client’s feet, hands and head. A safe, relaxing space is provided where the person can ‘just be’. There is no need to take a case history. Some people may wish to talk, while others enjoy taking time out. A session usually lasts from 30 to 60 minutes.

Each of us has natural abilities that we can connect with, given the right environment. I provide that space. The Technique offers a unique approach to handling personal issues, whether they are physical, mental or emotional. These matters will influence how we are able to respond to events in everyday life.

The Metamorphic Technique stands alone, for it is neither a therapy nor a treatment, nor is it a massage or healing. There is no diagnosis or deep physical manipulation.

People are often drawn to the Technique in times of difficulty, career changes, moving house, divorce, bereavement or illness. Many find they cope better in these periods of transition. Some may wish to make deep inner changes without having to analyse the past, others find that in times of stress they are able to deal with situations more effectively; above all, people become more creative with their life.

The Technique is safe for everyone, it is self-empowering and it enables you to steer your own path. It can be received on its own or alongside conventional or complementary approaches. It can be safely used by everyone, including ill or dying people. The Metamorphic Technique is easy to learn and is accessible to everyone.

Sessions are easy to integrate into everyday life. You are free to receive sessions according to your own personal preferences and needs. You may like to have sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Or you may prefer to come when you are feeling tired or uninspired. The contact provided is gentle and undemanding, offering a pleasant and relaxing experience. You may receive a session in complete silence, or you may wish to talk. The practitioner will receive the information and let it be, without comments or advice, acting simply as a catalyst.

I founded The Metamorphic Association in 1979 and it became a charitable educational Trust in 1983. Registered Charity No: 326525. Its aim is to promote the good physical and mental health of the public by the provision of education and training in the theory and practice of a form of healing and personal development known as the Metamorphic Technique.

The Metamorphic Technique: a unique tool for personal transformation

  • Not a therapy or a treatment, but a technique that helps trigger your own inner life force, enabling you to better realise your potential.
  • Based on a new way of looking at energy patterns. While other approaches often focus on removing energy blockages, the Metamorphic Technique looks at transforming energy patterns. It does not consider people to be ‘blocked’ or ‘broken’ and in need of being ‘fixed’. Instead, it simply notices that you may have patterns that no longer serve you and that you wish to transform. The energy that was involved in creating the old patterns is released and can be used to create new patterns.
  • Empowering. Any changes that occur originate entirely from within the recipient. That person’s own life force has an innate intelligence of its own. The practitioner simply acts as a catalyst in the process.
  • Non-invasive. There is no physical manipulation, nor diagnosis, nor any need to discuss personal problems or medical history.
  • Gentle and completely safe.
  • Accessible to everyone, and easy to learn and integrate into everyday life.

What is the theory behind the Metamorphic Technique?

From the traditions of Eastern medicine to the new discoveries of science, it is generally acknowledged that energy or ‘life force’ underlies all forms of life. This is the basis for the Metamorphic Technique. By using a light touch to the spinal reflex points on the feet, hands and head, the Metamorphic practitioner acts as a catalyst (something that speeds up a process of change) to the person’s life force. The life force, guided by the person’s innate intelligence, will then bring about whatever transformations of the energy patterns are needed. This enables the person to naturally shift those patterns that no longer serve them.

Sessions are non-diagnostic: the practitioner does not seek to address specific symptoms or problems, so there is no need to take a case history. Some people may wish to talk about it and that is fine, but it is not necessary. Metamorphic Technique practitioners work in a detached way. This does not mean that they don’t care. It simply means that they do not make judgements, impose their will or seek to direct the other person’s life force in any way. This creates an environment in which that person’s life force is free to do whatever is needed. The person is empowered to be his or her own healer. Most people find sessions very pleasant and relaxing.

The Metamorphic Technique is gentle, non-invasive and completely safe. As it is the person’s own life force that does the healing, it cannot do any harm. It can be safely used by anyone including children, pregnant mothers and people who are dying.

The Technique can be received on its own or alongside other approaches, whether conventional medicine or alternative and complementary therapies.
