What is Core Energetics?

Core Energetics is body-oriented psychotherapy, that integrates bodywork, psychology, and spirituality. A holistic approach, aiming to expand consciousness to include the body, emotions, thoughts, will, and spirit. The objective is to reconnect with one's original vitality and pleasure, our authenticity, by understanding and healing the blockages that have developed over time. 

Core considers the spiritual dimension an essential component of healing and personal growth. The process aims to foster a positive connection with the broader aspects of life, including relationships and sources of love and support. In a state of, good mental health, energy flows freely through all levels of existence: body, emotions, thoughts, will, and spirit.

Physically - 

When physical energy flows freely, you are in full contact with your body and everything within it, maintaining a balance between charging and discharging energy. 

Blocking physical energy, often due to old pain, trauma, or illness, directly impacts your well-being. Chronic blockages can lead to physical diseases through somatisation - (the manifestation of psychological distress by the presentation of physical symptoms.)

Emotionally -

When there is space for emotional energy to flow, people can identify with and communicate their feelings better. Suppressed or somatized emotions lead to dysfunction.

Mentally - 

When energy starts flowing smoothly throughout the psychical and emotional, thinking remains flexible and reasonable. Blocked energy results in negative thoughts, such as judgments, blaming, and rationalisation, leading to a rigid thought system.

Will - 

The will, used to take action, can become excessive in attempts to control others or deficient, resulting in passivity and submissiveness.  When will is balanced, coming from a healthy energy flow, it leads to assertive behaviour without trying to control or outdo others. Good integration of receptive and active energy within us creates a sense of a healthy balance of will.

Active - focus, anger, confidence, persistence, ability to do and the willingness to risk.

Receptive - openness, vulnerability, trust, ability to be and to wait, the willingness to have and accept. 

Spiritually -

The highest energetic layer, spirituality, permeates your entire being with love and energy. 

Those cut off from their spiritual core live excessively in the physical world, while those with too much spirituality lose touch with reality and struggle to function healthily.
