Psychology System
Welcome...
To
the Neuroenergetic Psychology™ Institute Web site
Neuroenergetic Psychology N.E.P.
is a somatic energy psychology system based on the principle
that the health of body, mind, and spirit is rooted
in the relationship between the perception of reality
and the body’s habituated reaction to those perceptions.
Psychological conflicts, habituated behaviors, unconscious
reactive patterns and related health problems can be
diminished, and often overcome, by effectively shifting
the conscious and unconscious memories that maintain
them held in the mind and body and affect our health
and well-being all the way to the level of the gene..
The Neuroenergetic Psychology System teaches the health
practitioner or therapist, through personal experience,
how to guide the client into a balanced and integrated
state using this powerful somatic psychology protocol.
Health
Originally
the word “health” meant whole or undivided.
However, today the word health has come to mean something
quite different. Today, it is more likely to mean free
from illness or able to have enough energy to pursue
your daily activities.
Our
body/mind is and has always been automatically responsive
to and focused on the patterns stored within. Information
inherited from our ancestors mixes with our accumulated
life experiences and becomes our ‘metaphors of
the flesh’. These ‘metaphors of the flesh’
are the feelings and impulses that arise in our bodies.
As these feelings arise from our responses to our perception
of sensory input, we rely on them for guidance and understanding
of the environment and our place in it
Currently
as we grow and change in our modern world, our body/mind
needs to learn new patterns to prepare us for different
responses. We must look at our reflexive response patterns
in order to attain optimum health and well being that
is grounded in self-initiated conscious creative behavior.
This
new way of processing shifts our attention from an unquestioned
automatic response to the impulses we perceive, to a
conscious, creative responsiveness. This new way of
processing helps us to create a sense of congruent alignment
– a unity of consciousness. When, feelings are
felt, our responses to them are translated into the
voices we hear in our heads.
What
is Unity of Consciousness?
We
commonly understand it as being the general capacity
for awareness and purposeful response that issues from
some physical mechanism that is far more basic than
the developed human brain and nervous system.
All
of the sensory co-ordination, motor reflexes and apparent
automatic unity of consciousness we observer in complex
organisms is apparent in single celled organisms and
simple organisms, as well as in more complex organisms.
Our
Ability to Perceive the Whole
One
of the most essential features of human consciousness
is so basic that we usually take it for granted: it
is the unity of our conscious experience. Every note
we hear in a musical symphony is part of the melody.
We do not hear each note in isolation, any more than
each letter in a novel or each pixel in a printed picture.
The theme of a symphony or the plot of a novel are what
have been called ‘emergent’ qualities. They
only emerge at the collective (or unified) level of
structure but are meaningless at the component level.
If we look out of a window, we are not aware of each
individual thing in isolation. We may see a tree in
a location in a garden, together with the sky, the landscape
and the horizon. All of these things are present to
us in a single instant. Only in their wholeness do they
compose our view from the window. Without such a unity,
there would be no experience of reality as we know it,
no unity of consciousness.
Our
Unique, Embodied Experiences
Each
experience is so much more than a mere mental process.
Each experience is a moment of life which we record
with our whole body. These experiences are literally
woven into the fibers of our being and become the tapestry
of our life. Our perceptions of reality are individual
and unique because we create our ‘unity of conscious’
experience based on how the fibers of our tapestry are
woven.
Who
chooses—from among all possible actions—what
is likely to happen or not happen? You do this either
consciously or unconsciously. You connect events together,
creating what you perceive. You assign your attention,
making the connections between events. Your body/mind
creates the paths connecting the events. This is how
consciousness affects your physical body and the universe
in general—by creating pathways.
Attention
Directs Energy
Energy
in the universe does not naturally follow a single path.
Physicist Fred Alien Wolf suggests that, "Between
two events there are many paths, many connections. By
focusing on one of the paths, by restricting one's awareness
to a single path as the most important, the other paths
appear to vanish, even though they are still present.
What is so special about the path that is observed?
It turns out to be the ‘Least-action-path'-one
that appeared to bring order and sense into the world.”
All
of our habits—on the conscious, unconscious, and
body levels—arise through the creation of ‘least-action-paths.’
They are the actions we experience in our everyday lives
and are also the literal pathways for neural information
in our brain and nerve system. They are the habits that
we use for our survival—physical, emotional, mental
and spiritual.
Many
of these habits, these least-action-paths, were developed
over the genetic history of our species and are stored
as genetic (innate) memories. Other memories have been
developed through the experience of our lives (acquired
memories). Most of these response pathways are reflexive-stimulated
from a level beneath our conscious awareness.
The
sub-conscious body level memory is fully alert at all
times; most of us are just unaware of its actions and
processes. Being driven by the survival instinct, there
is an inherent danger in that we often tend to live
our lives robotically—just going through the motions—
repeating the same responses or behaviors over and over
again, and not examining the motivations of our actions
and emotions. We make many important choices automatically,
which are not always in our best interests. This takes
us out of choice, and most often we are not consciously
aware that a choice is even being made.
Conscious
Creative Individuals create their reality not only by
setting their intention consciously, they also re-pattern
their responses to State Dependent Memory patterns to
create new least-action paths that reflect the their
desired reality.
We
Are the Creators of what We Observe.
There
is no such thing as an independent observer who can
stand on life's sidelines watching nature run its course
without influencing it. The distinction between objective
and subjective reality is a myth, and this realization
has led to a new understanding of the relationship between
us and the universe. This realization brings into sharp
focus the awareness of the importance of our thinking
process, beliefs and feelings that we use to observe
our reality.
Physicist
John Wheeler sees the involvement of the observer as
the most important feature of quantum theory:
"Nothing is more important about the quantum principle
than this: that it destroys the concept of the world
as ‘sitting out there,’ with the observer
safely separated from it by a 20 centimeter slab of
plate glass. To describe what has happened, one has
to cross out that old word ‘observer’ and
put in its place the new word ‘participator’.
In some strange sense, the universe is a participatory
universe."
In
order to participate fully as a conscious creative individual
and attain optimum health, it is imperative that we
free ourselves from destructive patterns and habituated
behaviors.
