Metamorphosis Introductory and Practitioner Classes

INTRODUCTORY / SELF-HELP CLASSES
for Personal Growth: Individuals ~ Couples ~ Families

Metamorphosis is easy to learn so that you can practice on yourself, your family, friends and animals. No experience is necessary.

The philosophy will help you gain a deeper understanding of negative paterns, troubled relationships and the challenging global picture.

The hands-on practice gives you something that you can do about it - without thinking and analyzing. This makes it easier for you to work on yourself and your family - and also - it allows for greater change. Metamorphosis works with unconscious patterns of tension that are passed on through generations. If you can intellecutally understand them - you are limited in how deep you are working. SO, with Metamorphosis, you can relax knowing you are doing something about your issues - which gives you more time to do what you love!!

We tend to spend alot of time focusing on what is wrong... now you don't have to!

**Family Dynamics

Learn a simple, touch therapy that can help with stressful family dynamics. The stressful dynamics of afference and efference are most often experienced in the home. The unconscious tension within each individual cause stressful and negative dynamics. Metamorphosis offers a gentle, non-judgmental approach to letting go of the unconscious tension so that each family member can contribute more positively.

Understanding the afferent / efferent dynamic helps each person to understand that the negative dynamics have their root in unconscious tension. This means that negative behavior isn't really as personal as it feels. This creates more room for understanding rather than blame. The hands on approach gives the family something positive and nurturing to resolve their problems.

**Parents of all Children and Special Needs Children

Learn how to help children come into balance so that they function well in life. Children want to be well-behaved, well liked... It is their unconscious patterns that are creating their negative behavior.

Children are very receptive to Metamorphosis. Children, as well as adults, appreciate the absence of pressure to change how they are. They just know that the work makes them feel better.

Metamorphosis has been tremendously helpful with autistic children. We view all symptoms, even the extreme, as being an imbalance of afference and efference. The extreme afference is autism. There is an inherent retreat in their pattern and most everything in the external world is experienced as stressful or overwhelming. Sometimes even direct eye contact is too invasive for them. This patterns is changable.

Metamorphosis is helpful with all patterns of tension, for we view tension as being the degree of separation between afference and efference. The greater the degree of tension, the more extreme the symptom. ADD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, all special needs children benefit greatly from Metamorphosis. As the unconscious tension lessens, they are better able to function.

PRACTITIONER CLASS

Pre-requisite: Introductory Class

This class gives you a deeper understanding of the work so that you can work on clients. It is also recommended for continuing personal growth - NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.

**Midwives and Doulas

Learn how to help clients throughout pregnancy and during labor. Working on a pregnant woman has the added benefit of working on mother and child. The mother is a more relaxed parent and the baby is born with less underlying tension. Another benefit for pregnant women is that we work gently on the spine. As tension affecting the low back lets go, labor and delivery often become easier and less painful.

**Holistic Professionals

Metamorphosis is alternative to the alternative. Robert created Metamorphosis out of the observation that our healing arts, while helpful, were not changing the bigger picture - we continue to create illness, conflict and war. Metamorphosis is best practiced on its own and is not easily "integrated" into other healing practices. It is a gentle touch therapy that does not require much effort from the practitioner and will help clients address the root cause of the problems in their life.

**Addiction Counselors

Learn how to help clients let go of the underlying tension that is behind their addictive behavior. Let go of the belief that addiction is an illness that a person has to struggle with for life. It does not matter what the vice of choice is – they all serve to help us cope with our internal, unconscious tension.

Rather than take a coping mechanism away, which often leads to finding a new one, we create balance within. As this occurs, the negative behavior falls away.

**Counselors / Therapists

Learn how to access and address the patterns that are not discernable to the intellect. This gentle touch therapy is a relaxing alternative to analysis. As you take your focus off your problems, you give them more room to go away.
