EVOLUTION OF A SYSTEM A felt sense of urgency led us to develop SourcePoint Therapy and inspires our ongoing work with the blueprint. In a complex world, simplicity has great power, and our intention with SourcePoint Therapy has been to evolve a simple system that allows practitioners of all kinds to integrate this fundamental principle of energy medicine, the blueprint, into their work without extensive or expensive training. It is intended to enhance whatever modality a practitioner is already using, to create an energetic container to help work that is done to go deeper and hold more effectively. Acupuncturists, craniosacral therapists, massage therapists, medical doctors, and Rolfers have all found it helpful and easy to integrate. The world we live in is out of balance, and as it seeks to self-correct, we experience many extremes. Maintaining an internal sense of balance becomes increasingly difficult and important for clients and practitioners alike. If we remember that at the heart of upheaval and stress there is the information of balance, order, harmony, and flow available to each of us, always, it will help us to maintain mental, physical, and spiritual health in today's world. If we seek to explore, understand, and implement the principle of the blueprint, then we have an invaluable tool for helping ourselves as well as our clients. intuitive, and author of The Vibrant Life: Simple Meditations to Use Your Energy Effectively.
