JOURNEY PROCESS - WHY IT IS UNIQUE

Journeywork is unique because it places emphasis on how suppressed emotion is at the root of our physical and emotional issues, rather than bacteria and viruses. It is our blocked emotions which inform the cellular level where those bacteria and viruses reside - and so this is where we focus during a Journey process.

A Journey process works with whatever is inside you - it does not involve external intervention, pills or medication. It is a stand-alone technique, allowing you to take control of your life and emotions in any situation, at any time. Its starting point is that you already have everything you need in order to resolve your issues.

Journeywork is unique because besides advocating the non-suppression of our emotions, it also advocates not "spending" them. Suppressing emotion involves turning our emotions inward: when we spend our emotions we turn them outward. An example of spending your emotion might be allowing yourself to be taken over by the emotion you feel or expressing it extremely. Several healing modalities recommend the extreme expression of emotion as a remedial solution for emotional and physical issues. However, it has been found in recent years that this approach is equally as harmful to the body, as the internal suppression of emotion.

The reason why a Journey process is so different to other healing modalities, is that rather than suppressing or spending emotion, you investigate what is in the core of it. This enables you to move through emotion and past it, which "claims back" the energy of the emotion and dissolves it completely. In this way a Journey process incorporates a method common to a certain aspect of Indian spiritual philosophy known as "self-inquiry" or vichara.

In fact a Journey process is a unique blend of the latest scientific research and the cream of ancient Eastern wisdom.

Lastly, in its technique a Journey process bypasses the "mind" which often contributes to the suppression of our emotions. Other healing modalities do not offer this and are often based on Freudian, Jungian or psychoanalytic approaches which start with the mind and go no deeper.
