"Energy Psychologies" are a group of new therapies that use the same ancient Chinese energy teachings that are the basis for acupuncture and acupressure. The premise is that emotional or physical discomfort occurs because the body's energy system is out of balance. These new therapy models balance the body's energy relative to the problem issue, directly, quickly and effectively. Emotional Freedom Techniques, (EFT) is the clear leader in this area and is used as part of Yoga of the Mind. (Other models used include NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), and Timeline Therapy.)
The Spiritual Model and regular practices, developed by Malcolm Campbell while Director of Counseling for the Stress Management Center of Marin, provide a powerful way to explore this elusive but necessary part of life.
