The Power of Emotions

Years ago, while developing the practice of SHEN, the American scientist Richard Pavek suddenly realized that our minds do not control our emotions! Instead, our emotions influence how we think; they also often interfere with and disrupt our normal bodily functions!

Unlike the pleasurable emotions of love and joy, the painful emotions, such as anger, fear, and grief, upset our bodies and are nearly impossible to expel.

The Auto-contractile Pain Reflex

The Auto-contractile Pain Reflex (AcPR), an instinctual spasm that prevents sharp broken bones from causing tissue damage, is also triggered by anguish, fear, grief, and shame, and prevents the emotion from leaving.

Examples of Contractions

If you grasp a live wire with your hand, your hand will clutch the wire tightly, and you will not be able to let go. Electricians teach their apprentices to use the back of a hand when checking if a high-voltage wire is ”live” because the contraction will safely jerk their hand away from the wire.

The first time you give an after-dinner speech, the knot of nausea you feel in your stomach as the dinner hour approaches squeezes your digestive organs and glands, restricting the flow of your digestive juices and stopping your ability to eat.
After you’ve delivered your speech, and your anxiety ends, AcPR stops contracting your digestive glands, their juices start flowing, and you can finally eat.

So, what exactly is SHEN Therapy, and how does it combat the Auto-contractile Pain Reflex?

SHEN practitioners are fully trained in applying the Qi* (Chi), which flows between their hands, to the areas around the centers of pain in ways that will reverse the effects of the AcPR and release the trapped emotions.

SHEN is a scientifically enhanced version of the ancient hands-on healing techniques used to treat patients with emotional ailments in the House of Life in Egypt and the healing retreats of Asclepius in Greece and other countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.

*Spelled either Qi, or Ch’i, it is pronounced ‘Chee.’
