Dr. John Ray developed Body Electronics and his teachings spread to Portland the early 1980’s. Participants hold physical point holding sessions with facilitated dialogue to move through crystallized memories locked in the body.
Just as light is broken up into the rainbow of colors by a prism, Dr. Ray saw that love is broken up into the rainbow of emotions. The principles I have gathered from Dr. John Ray and my own experience:
- what we resist, persists. This is how we suppress emotions and decrease our life force.
- we can move up the scale when we choose to experience “what is”, or what happens, lovingly and willingly, make room for it in our bodies, and feel it fully while letting go of the story;
- breath is a vehicle for opening us to movement;
- we are completely responsible for what we have created and who we are;
- the now, the present is all we have.
Emotional Tone Scale
At the top of the Emotional Tone Scale is Enthusiasm (Greek for “God in you”). When we suppress what is, we move out of Enthusiasm, to Pain, to Anger, to Fear, and further down the scale to not feeling.
However, it is of no use to wish to be where we are not–that automatically suppresses what is. Where ever we are at, when we experience that with love, or gratitude, it will change.
Verbal Point Holding, Facilitated Healing, Coaching
The person on the table is encouraged to breathe through what they are feeling, until they recognize the bodily experience of memories. A Verbal Point Holding session supports people as they move through pain, and they resolve painful or traumatic memories, anger and unforgiveness.
Embracing our role as creator of our experience culminates in alignment with our higher selves. This may not happen with every session. Since we may be feeling a mixture of emotions at any time, related to various situations, we may still have other issues to work on. All of these can be found in the body and released from the body-mind.
