Paper Summary

Working therapeutically with breast cancer patients in the UK, connecting through active empathic resonance, many underlying psychological and emotional issues can start to emerge, promoting the self-healing process. Difficult memories and emotions can become buried within the psyche/cellular memory (Chopra 1990) and the releasing of these memories can be liberating and self-empowering.

Myss (1996) and Brennan (1993) identify energy blocks within the 4th energy vortex (heart centre) within the electromagnetic field (EMF) as having various emotional and psychological contributory factors such as resentment, anger, self-centredness, insufficient self worth, and self-loathing. Energy blockages as a result of persistent negative states over time can produce physical symptoms including cell malfunctioning and a weakening of the immune function.

The science of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) demonstrates the links between mental states, the nervous system and immune function. Furthermore, clients with an increased sense of well-being report a positive impact on health and disease (Bloom 2001). Active empathic resonance, a combination of counselling and healing techniques, is the process whereby the therapist, working within a holistic model (psychosynthesis - Assagioli 1965), utilises their own vibrational frequency associated with meditative states (alpha brain wave patterns) and by focused thought direction, causes sympathetic resonance (Cade & Coxhead 1996). The energies interfere and begin to synchronise with the client, energy blocks can be released which in turn draws deeply held memories of emotions and events into the conscious mind for processing and releasing.
