SHEN Therapy

SHEN is a unique, highly effective healing system that releases deeply embedded, painful emotions directly from the body, so that you can regain your emotional and physical health.

Emotions are felt in the body, not in the brain.  That's why talking about our emotions doesn't necessarily make them go away or change our behavior.  Research has shown us that the body reacts to emotional pain, such as fear, grief, shame, etc., the same way it does to physical pain, by contracting.  This involuntary contraction is called the "Auto-Contractile Pain Reflex," which is your body's protective way of minimizing potential tissue damage.  For example, notice how your stomach clenches when you feel a stab of fear.  Since the brain can't relax this reflex, the contraction traps the painful emotion deep inside your body.  As a result of these and subsequent contractions, there is constant tension in the body, which can eventually affect not only our physical health and appearance, but also how we feel and react to present situations.  They are also often responsible for many conditions labeled psychosomatic.  Some conditions that may be symptoms of deeply embedded, painful emotions are: Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Migraines, Chronic Pain, Self-Doubt, Low Self-Esteem, PMS, Menstrual Difficulties, Disordered Eating, Destructive Behavioral Patterns, Addictions, IBS, Stress, PTSD, etc.

How Emotions Affect Our Mind & Behavior

The contractions hold the memories of past events as well as the conclusions and decisions we made about ourselves and our life during these experiences.  Over time, our minds may or may not consciously remember painful incidents, but our bodies always do.  Most of us carry emotional wounds today from earlier experiences and have had physical traumas as well.  Many of us have worked very hard to understand the past events that shape our current responses to life, only to find that learning the origin of our feelings does not always free us of our old emotional reactions and destructive behaviors.

How Emotions Affect The Body

Deeply stored contractions adversely affect the muscles, organs, glands and tissues at the specific sites where the emotional trauma was experienced.  These contractions often lead to the onset of functional physical disorders.

For example, feelings of shame and low self-worth have been frequently found to be a fundamental component in prostrate or menstrual difficulties, PMS, as well as sexual dysfunction.  Long term fear or anger has been linked to stomach and digestive problems, as well as insomnia and eating disorders.  Retained grief is known to constrict the area around the chest and is often a significant factor in many respiratory conditions, heart problems and some chronic headaches and migraines, as constriction of the vagus nerve and/or the baroreceptors interferes with blood return from the head.  In fact, studies have shown that a high percentage of patients in cardiac units suffered major grief six months to a year before having a heart attack.  The immune system is also affected by grief, as constrictions around the heart can suppress the activity of the thymus gland needed to activate the T-cells.  We now know that unreleased contractions in the body impedes normal blood flow, thus interfering with normal metabolic functioning, such as cells receiving nutrients and releasing waste products.

Solution & Benefits

SHEN uses the naturally occurring low-level electro-magnetic field (the biofield) produced by the human body itself to relax and release both physical and emotional pain in the body.  KC is skilled at dissolving these physio-emotional contractions.  She does this by directing the naturally occurring biofield, qi, energy between her hands through your body.  When the pressureless hand placement procedures comprising SHEN are applied to the body, the contractions that surround sites of either physical or emotional pain are dissolved, allowing the trapped emotions to surface and vanish.  SHEN Therapy also promotes relaxation, relieves acute and chronic pain, enhances health and well-being, and is useful for personal insight, growth, and for transforming old physical and emotional wounds into experiential awareness - in other words, "personal empowerment".  The proof of SHEN's effectiveness happens in your daily life after the session(s).  Former negative feelings and destructive patterns of behavior are transformed.  Pain will be gone or greatly reduced.  Old ways of reacting to situations and people are gone.  Recovery from injuries or surgery are greatly accelerated, as well as from sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.  You experience increased energy, a zest for life and your intimate relationships improve and deepen.

The result is a life of freedom, confidence, joy and vibrant health!

SHEN is not medical treatment, psychotherapy or counseling and is not meant to replace them!  It can, however, enhance & speed up the results of these treatments.
