A remarkable new body mind procedure that targets ‘stuck’ emotions, those sore points that cause physical pain, and keep us trapped in old behaviour patterns.
At a particularly dark time in my life, I found something that promised a way into the light. I was tired of talking, I felt confused and immobilised. To use self-help terminology, I was ‘stuck’. Then someone suggested that I visit a particular Sydney chiropractor. A chiropractor? For what seemed like emotional turmoil? Well, yes, I was told, because he also offered the neuro-emotional technique (NET).
After the first session I flew home exhilarated. It had hit the spot all right, both literally and metaphorically. Here was a simple technique that centred on the bodymind: The bodymind, rife with stored memories, reveals its truths and then a chiropractor adjustment releases the trapped pain. The procedure aims to remove blocks so that energy can flow unimpeded. In chiropractic terms, the body's ‘innate intelligence’ is freed up to allow healing. The session may end with the adjustment, but its benefits continue and can result in dramatic and long-lasting changes.
