Core Energetics

Core Energetics

​

Core Energetics is a body-based modality that focuses on the creative expression of stagnant impulses and unconscious beliefs. 

Core Energetics is informed by the work of Wilhelm Reich who developed a variety of theories about how emotions or beliefs get stored in the body. Some of his theories include how certain holding patterns and/or postures could manifest in the body as it relates to childhood stages of development.  

Core Energetics evolved from Reich's theories towards a more spiritual or holistic understanding of wellness.  The concept of "Core Energetics" came from the idea that by releasing outdated, unconscious beliefs and holding patterns in the body, a person can access their "core" self.  This "core" self being a more authentic, alive, and whole version of themselves. 

Accessing the core self can be achieved through a variety of expressive movements and activities as well as breathe work, grounding techniques, making noise, and more.
