Metamorphic Technique
Healing blocks taken on in the womb
In the 1960’s an English Naturopath and Reflexologist called Robert St. John discovered a map of our time in the womb on the spinal reflex points along the bony ridge of the inside of the foot. Through trial and error he realised that during the gestation period we develop core ways of being that will shape us during our lifetimes.
During the first four and a half months in the womb, whilst the foetus is in what is commonly referred to as the ‘foetal position’, we establish our individuality and sense of self. Are we loners, outsiders, or leaders and people who guide others? Do we take care of others’ needs before our own? Many patterns of behaviour pertaining to the way we express our individuality take root during this phase. We will relive this phase of development in childhood.
At four and a half months, as the foetus starts to physically open out, a period called ‘opening to the world’ establishes itself. In life we relive this as adolescence. Someone with a block that occurred during this period might feel obstructed in giving their offering to the world, as in the example of the painter Van Gogh whose work went unrecognised during his lifetime, or anyone with a dream that just won’t realise itself, be it a job or a creative project of some kind. During the following four and a half months, as baby explores the womb, it establishes how it will interact socially with family, friends, lovers, in the workplace and the community. In life, we relive this in our maturity. Some of us find we are surrounded by loving relationships, whilst others are trapped in empty lives struggling to connect with others.
Robert St John believed that all of these life experiences can be traced to our time in the womb. The Metamorphic view is that these patterns were chosen by the incoming soul as life lessons and that each pattern is a portal, an opportunity which when healed, reveals our deeper essence. So the child bullied at school, who on some level attracts this experience, can when receiving metamorphic, transform the pattern of being victimized into one where his humour or diplomatic skills may come to the fore, thus giving birth to very useful life skills that will be significant in this person’s realisation. Metamorphic is especially relevant for children as their patterns shift very quickly not being as fixed as those in adults.
Metamorphic Technique uses a gentle touch to loosen the seeds or roots of these issues. It acts as a catalyst to the individual life force, and dramatic shifts have been noted. These can include emotional issues dropping away, new ways of relating to life emerging, reaching new decisions, finding purpose, being received, meeting partners, finding jobs and in the healing of physical ailments. When someone receives a session it indicates a willingness to stop putting obstacles in the way of life’s natural movement of transformation. It is a technique that is easily learnt, simple to practice, and relaxing to receive. Generally taught in weekend workshops or 6 day retreats participants can connect to a network of people worldwide and exchange sessions for free. Transformation simply means becoming more of who you are, living to your potential rather than experiencing life through your blocks.
