Creative Energies: Integrative Energy Psychotherapy for Self-expression and Healing

Dorothea Hover-Kramer

Overview – Table of Contents

While meridian-based therapies allow the health caregiver to assist persons with physical and/or emotional distress by tapping a sequence of specific acupoints, this comprehensive book is the first to describe the integration of the three aspects of the human vibrational matrix—the biofield, the energy centers, and the meridian pathways with their specific acupoints—and their relevance to emotional healing and increased creativity.

Dorothea Hover-Kramer presents an integrative approach to these aspects of the human energy system and shows how interventions with them can be used singly or interactively to bring about emotional healing. In addition, the book clearly defines the present research and scientific basis related to therapeutic interventions from the energetic perspective of working with the human vibrational matrix. The ethics of introducing new and innovative methods are clearly elucidated to help practitioners to introduce energy therapies to appropriate clients. Case examples bring each of the major interventions to life and help the caregiver to access his or her own creative resources. In addition, specific excercises are presented to release limiting patterns, install empowering new beliefs, and access clients' creativity.

Praise for Creative Energies:

“I want to recommend this book for any professionals as well as serious students of energy psychology…this book is deep and comprehensive. She discusses the history and background of energy psychology, providing a succinct summary of its scientific basis….the last section of this text is particularly compelling. Dealing with the attribute of hope, Hover-Kramer directs the reader to find and replace limiting life beliefs. She then talks about augmenting our relationship with our inner wisdom through connecting with personal creativity, beauty, nature and our Higher Self…through her discussion I have come to see private creativity as the centerpiece from which all other endeavors are enhanced. The foundation of creativity is the life force. When that is used on a regular basis in one’s work and then explored privately as well, the ensuing rebalancing of the energy systems of our body…enhance our quality of life immeasurably. …I invite all of you to take a look at this most profound work.”
