The Metamorphic Technique is a gentle form of foot, hand and head massage that can be carried out by anyone with a brief training in the technique. It draws on reflexology in its theory and approach. It does not claim any specific healing power but uses the idea that the massage helps the individual's own innate inner intelligence free deep blocks in their body's energy pattern (The scientific consensus is that there is no evidence for energy patterns) and somehow bring about resolution of stuck patterns at the root of problems in their life and health. It focuses on reflexology meridians in the feet, hands and head which correspond to the spinal column and in turn to the incarnation, gestation and birth of the individual. In the 1960s a British naturopathRobert St. John originated Metamorphosis. He had been practising reflexology on his patients but found he had more success if he gave up trying to bring about a specific result when paying attention to spinal reflexes with his fingers. Part of St John work was taken (The Prenatal Pattern) and used by his student Gaston Saint-Pierre who in the 1970s,added to that part other philosophies then coined the term Metamorphic Technique and founded the Metamorphic Association in 1979. Robert St.John continue to develope and teach Metamorphosis up until his death in 1996. Metamorphosis is taught and practiced in UK and many places particularly in California, Ireland, Europe, Australia and South Africa. Metamorphic Technique is practiced and taught in UK and Europe amongst other places. There are major differences in viewpoint between the two schools. The only real similarity between the two are the use of reflex points apart from that they are fundamentally dissimilar. ==References== *(Description of the technique from the Complementary Healthcare Information Service - UK ) * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metamorphic Technique」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
