Creating Consciousness Through Touch
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have Case Studies on Metamorphosis?
Robert St. John was actually against creating case studies. The reason for this is that you have to label people with a symptom. Labeling people can fix them in their condition, as thought is so powerful. Once we identify with a condition it is harder to let it go.
The idea with Metamorphosis is not to identify with symptoms, regardless of their severity. Robert had a relative that appeared to be Down Syndrome at birth. They chose to practice Metamorphosis on her without labeling her. By not labeling her they were treating her underlying patterns instead of treating a condition. She moved out of her Down Syndrome pattern as a result.
Case studies require people to identify with and focus on their patterns. Both are counterproductive to Metamorphosis. Robert used to say that the more attention you give your patterns the less room they have to go away.
Robert initially observed that when you focus on or treat symptoms they often go away, but new ones develop or the old ones return. Metamorphosis addresses the primary stress patterns behind symptoms so that we make fundamental changes rather than symptomatic changes. When we change our attitudes of mind our body, mind and spirit change as well.
The idea is to begin to trust your inner wisdom, and if you are guided to Metamorphosis, trust it! Find the answers for yourself, that is part of the thinking of Metamorphosis.
Metamorphosis is not a medical or a scientific approach to health and well being. It is an understanding of the way in which we are influenced in our inheritance of the past and the way in which this influence forms certain attitudes of mind at conception which create an inhibition in our approach
to life, modifying our development, both mentally and physically.
It is the introduction of this inhibitory influence before conception which governs the outcome of our mental and physical well being.
Using the spinal reflexes of the feet, hands and head, as well as the more abstract hand symbols, Metamorphosis is a method which brings these
"attitudes of mind" into the unconscious focus of the patient and enables them to be their 'own healer' and to revert to the normal pattern of human inheritance.
