THERE’S a very special benefit of sharing the Metamorphic Technique – it can also transform relationships, as practitioner and teacher Hélène Demetriades, right, experienced herself.
“Two years after learning the Technique and becoming a practitioner, I gave my first session to my elderly dad,” explained Hélène.
“We had a very challenging relationship as I grew up, and in a real sense had lived “centuries apart” – he is a Greek from Turkey, born over a century ago now. Gentle touch had never been part of our relationship.
“I had already let go of so much around him when I came to the Metamorphic Technique, and yet when I offered that first session, something magical seemed to happen between us.
“Suddenly I felt him soften towards me, and a new sense of trust opened up. I remember him talking of a dream he had had during the war, in which he had ‘left his body, was free floating in the air, and everything was golden’. I had never heard my father express such sentiments before!
“Every time I went to stay with him (he lives abroad). I would give him a session and the softening and the relaxing between us continued. I have been so grateful in the last two months to have been able to offer him this touch, as in his 103 year his health has rapidly deteriorated. He is now coming to the end of his life, bound to a wheelchair and helpless, but I will always remember us sitting out in the gardens in the sun, with him telling me ‘to get on with my business’ as he offered me his foot!”
