Work Stress and Hypertension.

 I was out walking in the glorious sunshine recently when I observed a lady who looked familiar walking towards me with her dog. She looked younger and more energetic then I had remembered. As she approached me smiling we naturally embraced, delighted to catch up, as she had come to me for regular Metamorphosis treatments some years earlier.

When we first met in 2009, she was on medication for high blood pressure for the previous 10 years. She was then in her mid fifties and was overwhelmed with stress at work and was deeply concerned because of a family history of stroke and heart attack.

She approached Metamorphosis with an open mind and a desire to create balance, having seen positive change in a colleague at work. The colleague was a student of mine who recommended her to contact me and she had already introduced her to the Hand Symbols. Initially she attended for Meta treatment once a week and the Hand Symbols became her regular everyday practice. At work she began to catch herself in moments of stress doing the Creation Hand Symbols. As she was living more in the ‘moment' she was observing the conflict at work from a more objective point of view. She was taking things less personally and the balance she was creating changed the stressful moments to more creative ones. Her Doctor gradually began to reduce her medication as he observed a reduction in her blood pressure. He noticed she was more at ease, eventually after about eleven months she was free of her blood pressure meds.

The key to her success is that she took responsibility for her imbalance. She began to 'live in the moment' with her practice of Meta and was no longer controlled by stress at work. She attended Metamorphosis seminars with great enthusiasm to understand and practice Meta for herself and introduce it to her family.

Before we parted to continue our walk in opposite directions she mentioned, "I have never looked back Margaret, Metamorphosis is my way of life. The stress in my life has increased since I first came to you, but my attitude has changed and I am more light hearted and less fearful of disease. My new attitude enables me to maintain normal blood pressure”.

Robert St John used to say "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". The lady tasted the food and enjoyed it.

Going Beyond the symptoms with Meta

Through the practice of Metamorphosis one can 'morph' or become free of unconscious disturbances or 'blocks'. These blocks can manifest in mental, physical, emotional and behavioural symptoms e.g. anxiety, depression, hypertension, insomnia, migraine, backache, eating disorders, addictions etc.

Meta is not about the symptom, but the block or imbalance which is the source of the symptom. The balance of Afference and Efference is the healing factor (refer to the Principle of Metamorphosis). 

 Meta is about creating the balance, allowing the mind and body to heal naturally and spontaneously. If one keeps it up as a way of life, one can be permanently free of the symptoms and their memory.

In my experience all symptoms can be successfully addressed with Meta, if the person is open to the idea of self healing. The practitioner's role is to be a catalyst, provide support and be an educator of the philosophy. Those who understand the principles of Meta tend to use it more in their every day lives, becoming free of their symptoms which inhibit their creativity.

The time factor changes, from being stuck in the past, or anxious about the future to 'living in the present moment' with a positive attitude. Support is vital in these chaotic times, as we 'morph' the blocks, we become less identified with the chaos and more identified with creation.

The aim of Meta is to create an inner authority and an independent mind, to be free of medication, manipulation and the control of others. The Meta practitioner pays attention with perception in treatment, encouraging the practice of the Hand Symbols.True altruism is the result of finding a balance of Afference and Efference, rather than something one tries to obtain.

Metamorphosis is a philosophy for these challenging times.

Depression and Suicide

The wife of a very depressed man booked a Metamorphosis appointment for her husband about two years ago. She had seen positive change in her friend who had suffered from depression and that friend recommended Meta. When the woman contacted me she was very anxious about her husband that he might end his life. She and her grown up family were on constant guard.

The man arrived for his first treatment withdrawn and at a low ebb. He remained silent and uninterested during the treatment and I explained the principles of Metamorphosis and introduced the Hand Symbols. Following the treatment he looked brighter and asked questions about the hand symbols and seemed eager to practise them. I encouraged him to do the Symbols often in his daily life e.g. sitting in his house, lying in bed, in the car at traffic lights etc. I informed him that Metamorphosis is about addressing the block or unconscious stress which is the source of his depression. His interest in the Hand Symbols gave me hope for him as he left following his first treatment.

 His progress was gradual and positive and he attended for a treatment once a week. His Doctor noticed a change of attitude and began reducing his medication after a couple of months. By that time he was sleeping better and getting up earlier. His thoughts of suicide were less and his practice of the Hand Symbols were becoming a positive habit. He was beginning to "live in the moment" and whenever he caught himself in negative thought, he did the Creation Hand Symbols which he said always gave him positive focus. He was taking responsibility for his depression and had more clarity of mind. His Doctor observed his progress and continued to reduce his medication. His family were happy with him as the tension and anxiety left the house, he was up and on the move and they no longer needed to keep vigilance. He was going fishing with his sons and his wife's anxiety was lifting as she enjoyed time out with her daughter.

The man's wish was to continue treatments with me once a week as he valued the support and the education in the philosophy. I taught him how to treat himself and he treated his head and hands every day. His progress continued and one day when he arrived he told me that the previous year he did not answer the phone when his friends rang him to play golf. "This year Margaret, I have planned a golf outing and invited my friends who I avoided during my depression days. After only one year doing Metamorphosis I am now living my life rather then planning my death."

This man is now very creative, back helping in the family business, enjoying his grandchildren, walking, fishing, golfing. He has become a content person who keeps in touch to gets the catalystic support on his self healing journey.

If you are suffering from depression or have suicidal thoughts, Metamorphosis is a positive creative way to address the fundamental source of the depression. You may wish to refer to the Hand Symbols page and practise them regularly for yourself.
