1 00:00:13,619 --> 00:00:22,940 Okay, so this is Metamorphic Technique and basically Metamorphic Technique is a tool 2 00:00:22,940 --> 00:00:33,619 for transformation, basically to self-empower the person who is receiving the technique. 3 00:00:33,619 --> 00:00:46,009 It's not a therapy, we make no claims, but basically what we're doing is contacting the 4 00:00:46,009 --> 00:00:52,770 innate intelligence of the body to make the shifts and changes that it needs to make in 5 00:00:52,770 --> 00:01:04,430 its own time and space. So we work in a detached manner but that doesn't mean an uncaring manner. 6 00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:13,969 We're the catalyst, as it were, for the changes that can take place within the person receiving 7 00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:22,590 the technique. Just like the earth is a catalyst for the seed. The earth doesn't give to the 8 00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:29,790 seed, the seed takes from the earth, basically. And any changes that are made are usually 9 00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:40,730 permanent. So the butterfly was once the caterpillar, and then it becomes a chrysalis, and once 10 00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:46,049 it becomes a butterfly, it will never be a caterpillar again. So such a transformation 11 00:01:46,049 --> 00:01:46,590 was made. 12 00:01:47,069 --> 00:01:48,750 Right, hence the metamorphic technique. 13 00:01:48,849 --> 00:01:53,450 Hence the metamorphic technique. And it was derived from the work of Robert St John, who 14 00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:59,209 was a British naturopath in the 1960s, and what St John found was that he was treating 15 00:01:59,209 --> 00:02:05,750 symptoms that his patients were coming to him with, and he was treating the symptoms 16 00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:10,490 and the symptoms would often go away, but then they would return, or something new would 17 00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:15,729 take its place so he realized that he wasn't getting to the root of the cause 18 00:02:15,729 --> 00:02:24,469 of the problem and he from his work as a naturopath he then went on to explore 19 00:02:24,469 --> 00:02:30,169 reflexology and from reflexology he realized that he can access the whole of 20 00:02:30,169 --> 00:02:34,069 the body just by working the spinal reflexes of the foot and that's this 21 00:02:34,069 --> 00:02:40,669 area right here so this area here represents the foot and the hip area 22 00:02:40,669 --> 00:02:50,509 represents the spine the spine did I say the foot so we're actually working on 23 00:02:50,509 --> 00:02:58,189 the spinal reflexes of the body and what happened was that John realized that 24 00:02:58,189 --> 00:03:02,810 when he was working on these spinal reflexes that he was actually accessing 25 00:03:02,810 --> 00:03:11,050 the nine months in the womb so from that he then realized that the patterns that we set up in our 26 00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:23,050 lives are actually learnt as it were in the womb and quite often a mother will have perhaps an 27 00:03:23,050 --> 00:03:29,409 emotional trauma or a physical trauma of some kind and that creates a tension in the womb so 28 00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:34,330 that tension in the womb is then transferred to the child and the point 29 00:03:34,330 --> 00:03:39,930 at which that tension was experienced will then shape our experience through 30 00:03:39,930 --> 00:03:46,210 life so for instance this area here is conception the conception point and 31 00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:51,069 represents the father principle so perhaps there's a problem with father or 32 00:03:51,069 --> 00:03:54,969 authority and that could be our own authority over ourselves can you start 33 00:03:54,969 --> 00:04:00,490 diagnosed by feeling feet. We don't diagnose. We don't diagnose at all but 34 00:04:00,490 --> 00:04:05,770 amazing changes have been shown to take place within the individual. Basically 35 00:04:05,770 --> 00:04:10,870 people come when they're at a crossroads in their life. Maybe there's been a 36 00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:16,269 death in the family, there's a bereavement, perhaps they're stuck as far 37 00:04:16,269 --> 00:04:19,810 as they want to change their job and they don't know what they want to do. 38 00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:23,350 Changes need to be made but they just don't know what that change is and they come 39 00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:30,350 for a session and quite often what we find is that the job has changed, the relationship's 40 00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:34,649 changed, the house has changed, someone's moved on, they no longer think the way they 41 00:04:34,649 --> 00:04:39,790 used to think and these changes have been affected at very, very deep levels. So we 42 00:04:39,790 --> 00:04:46,750 work for 20 minutes on each foot. I'm going to the left foot. And basically we start just 43 00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:51,250 by feeling the foot. We're not looking at anything in particular. This is something 44 00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:57,790 to keep our inquiring mind occupied, because the brain likes to have something to think 45 00:04:57,790 --> 00:05:03,670 about. Again, we don't diagnose, we can observe what's going on. And then again, we start 46 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:15,930 to work the spinal reflex. So it's a transformational tool. So what St John found was that as he 47 00:05:15,930 --> 00:05:21,170 was working with the feet, when he really found that he was onto something, was when 48 00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:24,990 A lady brought a six-week-old child to see him with Down syndrome. 49 00:05:27,089 --> 00:05:32,110 And St. John showed the mother how to work the feet with this technique. 50 00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:39,269 And they went home and the child received the technique from the mother and the father, I believe. 51 00:05:40,189 --> 00:05:43,610 And they would see Robert St. John once a week and he would give them the treatment. 52 00:05:44,149 --> 00:05:47,730 And over the space of a year, the child moved out of the pattern of Down syndrome. 53 00:05:48,449 --> 00:05:49,949 So don't look at things as symptoms. 54 00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:53,529 Even though we don't diagnose, we don't look at anything as a symptom. 55 00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:56,490 We say that you're perfect just the way you are in this moment, 56 00:05:56,490 --> 00:06:04,129 but there's always a potential to be something more, whatever that potential may be. 57 00:06:07,889 --> 00:06:15,350 And so John actually looked at Down syndrome and autism as being two extreme tension patterns that were set up in the womb. 58 00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:22,490 And a lot of work has actually been done with children and older people also with mental 59 00:06:22,490 --> 00:06:24,629 and learning difficulties and disabilities. 60 00:06:25,509 --> 00:06:29,250 And what we find is that we start to loosen these patterns as we're working on the spinal 61 00:06:29,250 --> 00:06:29,649 reflex. 62 00:06:29,829 --> 00:06:35,209 These patterns are loosened and these people are able to move out of these patterns of 63 00:06:35,209 --> 00:06:35,610 tension. 64 00:06:36,589 --> 00:06:41,629 So literally a Down syndrome person was no longer Down syndrome? 65 00:06:41,629 --> 00:06:49,329 Still probably still had the chromosome. Yeah, but did not exhibit the pattern of downs. So again, we make no claims 66 00:06:50,569 --> 00:06:56,970 It's a it's a tension pattern. We look at these at all symptoms as patterns and patterns can be 67 00:06:57,910 --> 00:06:59,910 transcended 68 00:07:00,230 --> 00:07:03,790 So everyone should learn how to do this for their child everyone should learn how to do it 69 00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:08,769 Yeah, it's very you can see how simple it is. I'll do it again. Yes. Yes. It's very very simple 70 00:07:08,769 --> 00:07:17,189 it's some people will use a vibration maybe more of a stroking i tend to use this sort of circular 71 00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:23,529 movement right here it's something that can be very easily taught and used a mother or father 72 00:07:23,529 --> 00:07:29,069 can give it to their child what we do say is that on occasion a session is received from somebody 73 00:07:29,069 --> 00:07:34,550 outside the family unit because an energetic circuit can be built up between the family 74 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:40,790 and quite often with dissolving patterns for instance you might be born into a family that 75 00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:49,129 says we don't do anger for example and so you grow up through life not expressing yourself or 76 00:07:49,129 --> 00:07:53,410 your what would be considered anger perhaps by your parents 77 00:07:53,410 --> 00:08:00,470 and so what happens is it's constantly repressed so you receive a metamorphic technique and all 78 00:08:00,470 --> 00:08:03,089 All of a sudden you just can't help yourself, it comes out. 79 00:08:03,089 --> 00:08:09,930 But what happens is by expressing yourself how you want to, you're actually releasing 80 00:08:09,930 --> 00:08:17,069 energy, you're releasing repressive feelings. 81 00:08:17,069 --> 00:08:20,490 And quite often what happens is that everything else and everyone else around you will change 82 00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:21,550 also. 83 00:08:21,550 --> 00:08:25,750 So the environment around you will change as you change, because now you're expressing 84 00:08:25,750 --> 00:08:28,370 yourself on a different level. 85 00:08:28,370 --> 00:08:29,370 It becomes a different resonance. 86 00:08:29,370 --> 00:08:33,610 we're coming to relationship with everything around us and as we come into relationship with 87 00:08:33,610 --> 00:08:40,350 things everything else comes into relationship with us so we do 20 minutes on each foot basically 88 00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:46,110 the feet are the most important because there are grounding the grounding part of us and then 89 00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:52,769 we move to the hands so we do 20 minutes on each foot five minutes on each hand and again this 90 00:08:52,769 --> 00:09:00,009 This represents the spinal reflex along the thumb here and across the wrist.
