The principles behind Meridian Energy Therapies were discovered by Dr Roger Callahan, a clinical psychologist, who made it his life's work to find ways to cure people of anxieties, fears and phobias. The results of his work have subsequently been the subject of serious scientific studies and they have gained widespread acceptance.
All energy based meridian therapies revolve around the theory that a distressing memory or thought creates a blockage in an energy channel (a meridian) that causes not just emotional but physical problems for the body such as digestive complaints or low immunity. Identifying and releasing the original emotional strees, using specific acupressure points, puts the body in a better state to heal itself. When the disruption in the energy system has been calmed, the person experiences no further pain or negative emotions from the original memory or thought.
On an emotional front, Meridian Energy Therapy can be used for addictions, bereavement, low self-esteem, phobias, unfulfilled potential, feeling 'stuck in a rut', fear of public speaking, lack of confidence.
