The alternative health industry has become popular in recent years and one of the lesser known areas is The Metamorphic Technique. Its origins started with the work of a gentleman called Robert St. John, a British naturopath and reflexologist. In the 1960s he discovered that he could bring about significant changes by applying a light touch to particular points on the feet that reflexologists call the spinal reflexes.
He realised that everyone has their own capacity for self-healing and if the idea became fully active whilst practising on his own patients, they would be empowered to be their own healers in a truly effective way. Since permanent, far-reaching changes on a number of levels were now occurring in his patients - changes originating entirely from within the patients themselves - he developed a body of work and aptly named the new discovery Metamorphosis.
In the 1970s Gaston Saint-Pierre, who studied extensively with Robert St. John saw the potential for the development of a practical tool for self-healing and the realisation of one’s potential that could be easily integrated into everyday life. He therefore, went on to further testing the new health discovery and created the term ‘The Metamorphic Technique’.
The Metamorphic practitioner acts as a catalyst (something that speeds up a process of change) to the person’s life force. The life force, guided by the person’s innate intelligence, will then bring about whatever transformations of the energy patterns are needed. This enables the person to naturally shift those patterns that no longer serve them. The energy that was ’stuck’ is released, freeing them up from past influences and allowing them to let go and move forward. While the theory can initially seem quite difficult to grasp, it is not necessary to understand it to benefit.
