Where and What is the Core?
The “core” in Core Energetics is that place in you that can make an authentic and fulfilling connection to yourself, others, and life itself. The instruments of connection are our bodies, consciousness and natural energy or life-force. Core Energetics therapy teaches people how to authentically integrate all of these instruments, and helps remove the internal obstacles that block the expression of your true essence.
​
​What is the aim of Core Energetics?
Core Energetics aims to promote healing by placing focus on the balance and flow of energy between body, mind, emotions, spirit, and will in order to promote healing.
This therapeutic process assumes a person’s intrinsic qualities reflect universal qualities of love, wisdom, serenity, and power, and qualified practitioners of the approach work to help individuals evolve toward a greater expression of these innate qualities.
Energy and consciousness are the chief components of Core Energetic theory.
Good health is dependent on the energy flow between body, mind, emotions, will, and spirit, and a therapy session will often involve the application of a variety of therapeutic techniques in order to address the flow of human energy, increase personal awareness, and heal the mind and body.
While verbal communication plays a major role in therapy, Core Energetics practitioners also use the physical body as a vital tool for making diagnoses and gauging treatment. Many types of therapy treatment involve the person in treatment reclining on a couch, but in Core Energetics therapy, individuals are encouraged to stand upright and ground energy through their feet and legs. This position symbolises an awareness of the present, making contact, and taking responsibility by standing on their own two feet.
