Gentle Bio Energetics
The creator of Gentle Bio-Energetics techniques is Dr. Eva Reich. Gentle bio energetics is based on the idea that in our lives, from conception to death, events occur that affect the flow of our life energy. The goal of gentle bioenergetics is to restore the natural flow of life energy in the body.
The word "gentle" refers to a therapist/helper whose touch and verbal intervention are supportive and gentle, making it well suited for expectant or postpartum women as well as small children.
Wilhelm Reich was the first to take the approach of the body into psychotherapy and discovered that posture, shape, movement, etc. also affect the psyche. He discovered that physical and mental trauma is stored in the body, and when they begin to accumulate, armours form.
Armours are horizontal blockages in the body that prevent the vertically moving life energy from flowing smoothly through the body. Therefore, muscle tension, diseases, emotional imbalances occur, contact with the "real self" is lost, etc.
There are VII types of these armours:
I Eye Area - motionless facial expression; involuntary blinking of the eyes; an emotionless look; watery eyes
II Mouth Region - difficulties in self-expression; tense jaw; constant coughing
III Neck Area - tense state; shoulders up; pains in the neck; feeling of a lump in the throat; constant swallowing; fear of attack
IV Chest Region - rubber chest; shortness of breath; asthma; nail biting; stiff wrists; cold hands; strong self-control
V Diaphragm Region - cannot breathe deeply; upper body hot and lower body cold; anxious; tense; danger alert
VI Abdominal Area - tense stomach; stomach ulcers; digestive problems; weight problems
VII Pelvic Region - problems with sexuality, genitals, conception, pregnancy, femininity and masculinity; impotence
​
Different techniques of bio energetic touches can be used to get rid of armours, which gradually release blockages and let energies flow. During the therapy, the body is relaxed and the armours that keep the person tense are gently melted - this allows the psyche to relax and psychological, emotional and trauma-related problems to be resolved

METAMORPHOSIS
The goal is to heal prenatal nonverbal body memories.
Metamorphosis restores the flow of energy to the pelvis, which makes pregnancy easier, helps the baby find the most optimal position, and supports high-risk pregnancies.
​
From conception to birth, we have no verbal memories, but preverbal memories are stored in our bodies.
This method is also suitable for people who feel anxious, sad, scared or depressed all their life, but do not know the reason for such feelings. The reason may be that we already adopted our mother's thoughts and feelings in the womb.
This technique is also suitable for healing the feelings that we are not wanted, that we are not related to anyone.
Metamorphosis can lead back to a place of safety, returning the original sense of happiness, unity, and comfort.
Performed through the soles of the feet.
