Metamorphic Technique
The Metamorphic Technique is a wonderful tool for transformation and growth. Involving very subtle touch on the feet, hands an head, this apparently simple approach is a deceptively powerful catalyst for your own life force to move you forward to use more of your potential. There is no need for diagnosis or analysis as MT helps you to help yourself, to find your own answers. People are often drawn to the technique in times of difficulty of change, such as looking for a new career direction, moving home, divorce, bereavement or illness. Many find that having Metamorphic Technique helps them to cope better during these times and develop an inner strength and greater connectedness with their true nature.
It is very gentle and can be used on people of all ages. It can be especially helpful for pregnant women, who often report easier pregnancies and births and for children. Parents can be show how to do this at home on their own children. Many children with various chronic disabilities really enjoy and benefit from MT sessions.
The Metamorphic Technique was developed by naturopath Robert St. John and developed further by Gaston Saint Pierre who set up the Metamorphic Association. The Association's website is www.metamorphicassociation.org.uk.

And this is what a colleague of mine, Nhys Glover wrote about a MT sessions with me on the Happiness Centre's blog:
What's Maggie Like? (Final Part of The Tale of Three Therapists)
I was nearing the end of my therapy marathon. My session with Charlotte was still fizzing away in my brain and my thoughts were in the process of being refiled and integrated. I realised that at that stage doing any more talk therapy was going to be counter-productive. I needed time to process what was happening.
So Maggie Pashley and I rummaged through her therapeutic tool box so that I could get just what I needed from her. Something that would support what I was finding out about myself and yet wouldn't tip me into overwhelm. I was not in any place to do Maggie's core work- EFT.
EFT would have been very useful to me to help reprogram my wrong thinking or unbeneficial programs. But I hadn't yet decided what wrong thinking I actually had. It seemed that there were patterns that I was exploring that I had never identified before, but I wasn't ready to label them in need of change.
So Maggie explained to me about the Metamorphic Technique and it really felt like exactly what I needed. Even the butterfly image that is associated with this process seemed to fit. After all Psyche's symbol is a butterfly and I had recently been given the message, astrologically, that I was breaking out a Saturnian chrysalis this year.
So it seemed perfect. I lay back on the comfy chair with my bare foot up on Maggie's lap and she tapped and stroked my foot in a comforting but systemised way. We ‘chatted' in a lazy afternoon in the sun sort of way. Nothing was pressing, nothing important to say. It was just me getting the attention I needed, foot by foot, hand by hand and then on my head.
What was happening, Maggie explained, was that I was being realigned on a subconscious or deeper level, with my True Self. How perfect that I was being supported to remove those masks. Not as a rational imperative, but on a deeper, Knowing level.
I think we've all had situations where we knew what we needed to do but just couldn't make ourselves do it. This process makes the making disappear. It's subtle and covert. You don't actually feel much happening on a conscious level. For me probably even less that with Reiki.
And yet, I was Blissed out. It felt that I didn't have to do or be anything other than Be in the moment. And I didn't have to make decisions or judgements about myself or my life. That would come. In this moment I was allowed to just Be. And it was just what I needed to finish my triple process. To return, as it were, to that gentle space that Roxy and Reiki had established for me the day before.
Maggie has many stories of the almost magical transformations she's witnessed from the Metamorphic Technique. But most of those have been over a series of sessions, although only the person can determine how much of it they need at any time. She told me of a man who left his job, improved his health and started work doing what was his passion without any input from her except the gentle tapping and stroking process over several weeks. He just ‘shifted', without conscious intent.
I will be having more sessions with Maggie. I don't know what the result will be, but I know how that man felt. As if what was happening was beyond his conscious mind to process and yet he knew it was doing him good.
I think I will call it Magical Metamorphic Technique.
I hope my healing journey has been interesting and useful to you.
