The Upledger Institute's SomatoEmotional Release I

Rebecca Ridge

SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a healing process that helps rid the mind and body of residual effects of past trauma and associated negative emotional experiences. Joint research efforts by Dr. John Upledger and biophysicist Dr. Zvi Karni led to the discovery that the body often retains (rather than dissipates) physical forces resulting from accident, injury, or emotional trauma, and then isolates the dysfunctional area, creating an “energy cyst.”

Although a reasonably healthy body can work and adapt to energy cysts, extra energy is required to perform normal bodily functions. As the years pass, the adaptive pattern of the body loses its effectiveness, and symptoms and dysfunctions begin to appear which become more difficult to ignore or suppress.

In SER I, students learn how to assist the patient/client in physically identifying and expelling the energy cyst and in reexperiencing and resolving unpleasant memories.

Before participating in this course, students must complete Upledger CranioSacral I and II, either at Esalen or elsewhere.

Note: Registration for this workshop is through The Upledger Institute only; please call 1-800-233-5880.
