In a nutshell, the
Metamorphic Technique is a means of enabling you to reach the
potential that was always in you by freeing energy blocks and allowing
you to be the best that you can be.
Whether you’re trying to lose weight, leave a difficult relationship,
decide what to do with your life or cope with a physical or mental
condition, the Metamorphic Technique can offer a gentle, non-invasive
and relaxing way of reaching your goals, particularly when you feel
you’ve tried everything else.
Can the Metamorphic Technique help me?
As the name suggests, the Metamorphic
Technique is concerned with change and transformation,
which can occur on a number of levels - physical, mental, emotional
and behavioural. It is a means of reconnecting you to your source, that inner life force which
holds the blueprint for your true self, the best possible version of
yourself. It can dissolve or loosen the blocks or obstacles that life throws up
along the way, right from the moment of conception, that make it seem
so hard to reach our full potential.
People are often drawn to the Metamorphic Technique at deeply
difficult times or because they feel at a crossroads or 'stuck' in
their lives. They find that it can help them to cope better with
changing or new situations, deal with long-standing emotional
issues and make profound inner changes without having to
discuss their problems or delve into their past. So you might find the Metamorphic Technique
helpful when you are moving house, changing jobs, facing
retirement or redundancy, or when the children leave home.
It may also be useful when you need help facing bereavement, divorce or separation,
or news of illness for yourself or someone you care about.
On a physical level, people come with
a wide variety of conditions from cancer to chronic fatigue. Metamorphic Technique can be helpful
in many areas, such as alleviating stress, depression, illness,
pain, tinnitus, etc. or dealing with relationship problems,
work issues, low self-esteem to
name just a few. The Technique does not aim to address these conditions or their symptoms,
but in most cases people find that symptoms lessen over time, that
they respond better to other treatments they have been following or
that they are guided to a treatment or therapy which works for them.
The Metamorphic Technique can lead people to whatever is right
for them at that time. For teenagers (or anyone!) who
seem to be “lost” and don’t know what to do with their life,
this Technique can help them find the direction that is best for them.
The Metamorphic Technique has been used a great deal in work with
physical and mental disabilities, as well as in schools for children
with learning difficulties, Downs syndrome, autism, dyslexia,
ADHD, in hospitals, in prisons, and in helping people overcome addictions,
eating disorders and stress-related conditions. Pregnant women and
midwives also use it, as it can allow an easier pregnancy and
birth.
As the Technique works on your life force, your fundamental
energy, rather than on any specific problem, it can be used in a vast
range of situations too numerous to list here. But as the
practitioner will not ask you “What seems to be the problem?”, it
is worth trying on anything.

What does a session involve?
A session usually lasts for about an hour. The
practitioner will ask you to take off your shoes and socks and you may
be either sitting or lying down. The practitioner uses a light touch
(not massage) on the spinal reflex points in the feet, hands and
head. Sessions are non-diagnostic: the practitioner won’t be trying to address specific
symptoms or problems, so there is no need to take a case history. You
may wish to talk about your problems, chat about other things or just
drift off to sleep. The choice is yours. You will most probably find the session very
soothing and peaceful.
Metamorphic Technique practitioners are trained
to work in a detached way. This doesn’t mean that they don't
care. It simply means that they won’t make judgements about what you
choose to tell them, impose their will or seek to direct your life
force in any way. This means your life force is free to do whatever is
needed to empower you to heal yourself in the way that is right for
you, and allow you to become the best that you can be.

What happens after a session?
Immediately after a session you may feel deeply relaxed or
energised, or both. That night you may sleep very peacefully or you could have vivid dreams.
It isn’t possible to predict what will happen as this will
depend on your own life force, which is unique. As your energy starts shifting, you may re-experience some old
symptoms or emotional upset over a day or two. This is all part of the
process of bringing up old patterns to be released. Thankfully, while
the life force can bring about great shifts, they always seem to be at
a level that people can cope with.
In some cases you may notice change immediately, while in others
changes could take days, weeks or months and are more subtle. These
changes might range from significant improvements in physical,
mental or emotional health to general feelings of having more
energy and confidence, releasing old habits or gradually letting
go of past hurts and finding peace.
People often report significant changes in the way they see life
and how they feel about themselves; in many cases they experience a
growing sense of purpose and inner strength and may find
themselves changing their job, moving house, leaving a relationship or
finding a new one as their life 'gets on track'. Some people have
described it like 'coming home to themselves' and most people end up
feeling considerably happier and more fulfilled.
You will find transformation is most noticeable with hindsight.
A year or two after a course of sessions people often look back
and are astounded by just how far they have moved forward in their
lives and how so much has changed for the better.
Others acknowledge that life has been just as rocky as usual but that they
have breezed through all the ups and downs.
The benefits of this Technique will usually be broad-ranging
rather than specific and can often affect other people in your life.
For example, if you come to the Metamorphic Technique hoping
for motivation to lose weight, you may well find a few months later
that in addition to being slimmer and healthier, you have been
promoted to a more fulfilling job, your children are behaving better,
your husband gives up smoking and your life just seems to be running
more smoothly than before.

How many sessions will I need?
It is entirely up to each person to decide how many sessions they
have and how often. Some people have regular weekly sessions, while
others have sessions every so often or when they feel the need. Children can benefit from
‘having their feet done’ every day and for this purpose the practitioner can show you how
to practice the technique on your children in between sessions.
Each person's life force will bring about changes in whatever
timescale is right for them. While changes may not always be
immediate, they do tend to be lasting.

Is it safe?
The Metamorphic Technique is completely safe and beneficial for
everyone from newborns and pregnant women to the very elderly and
dying. A person does not even need to be conscious to benefit from it,
simply alive! As it is your own life force that does the healing, it cannot do you any harm.
The practitioner simply acts as a catalyst enabling your
potential, which you already have inside you and which has always been
a part of you, to rise to the surface and grow to its full height. There is no external influence being exerted by the
practitioner.
The Technique can be received on its own or
alongside other approaches, whether conventional medicine or
alternative and complementary therapies.
