Glen now describes her work as Psycho-physical Integration which is a development from Chakra Therapy and the Alexander Technique.


Chakra Therapy - Bridging the gap between ‘hands-on’ and ‘talk’ therapy

Chakra is a sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’. It is used to describe energy centres in the head and spine, which are central to many Eastern philosophies and which nowadays can be seen using Kirlian photographic techniques. These centres, when working well, support the flow of energy up and down the spine, and throughout the body.

Chakra therapy offers you an opportunity to heal yourself at all levels of your being. The chakras are the essential building blocks of the energy system of the body and of our evolving consciousness. They carry imprints of different stages of our development, from the infant, through the child, to the adult and beyond, exploring the different stages of development of consciousness that we pass through in the journey to maturity. Glen suggests that each stage needs to be developed, then transcended and then integrated from a new perspective.
Glen works individually and with groups using this model of the chakras.

GROUP WORK
In her workshops Glen shows participants ways of getting in touch with the consciousness of each developmental stage, through experiential exercises and games. We find there is a map through which we can explore different aspects of our consciousness, all of which need to be valued and integrated to experience wholeness. Then, she leads us into experiences of higher states of consciousness which transcend the everyday levels of consciousness by which we normally live.

By bringing awareness, loving attention and intention into different areas of our selves and our lives, we can nourish and re-integrate parts of ourselves that are out of balance. Working with similar principles to the Alexander Technique but directed towards the emotional and mental patterns of our lives, we can learn to change the way we think about ourselves, and our lives, releasing old psychological habits and replacing them with more beneficial ones. Working with these principles we can develop a deeper sense of personal integration and increased physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

INDIVIDUAL WORK
In an individual chakra therapy session Glen gently places her hands on your body as you lie fully clothed on the therapy table. Her hands send healing messages to your mind and body, which encourage these energy centres to release any interferences and to function optimally.
Sometimes she may talk with you about how your particular physical and emotional conditions express themselves through your body, and give you guidelines for understanding those conditions and methods to work with them. At other times she will work in silence enabling deep inner change to occur. At other times she may lead you through a guided visualization which allows you to access your intuitive understanding and healing of different aspects of your self. The very best of healing hands-on work and counselling come together in this sensitive gentle therapy allowing you to create healing and harmony at the very deepest layers of your being
