ABOUT RUBENFELD SYNERGY

The Rubenfeld Synergy Method is an approach to personal development and healing — physical, emotional, and spiritual. It is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that combines touch, talk and movement. The method respects the uniqueness of each individual and puts clients in charge of finding their own wisdom and healing. Rubenfeld Synergists see the individual as a whole being — with mind, body, emotions, and spirit interrelated and interactive, capable of self-healing, self-regulation, growth, and change.

The stories in Healing Journeys cover many of the situations that bring people to Rubenfeld Synergy. They come in order to:

• resolve painful issues and experiences
• gain inner peace and calm
• improve their self image and self-esteem
• recover from physical and/or emotional trauma
• improve their personal and business relationships
• maintain their physical and emotional health and well-being
• learn to deal better with stress
• live more from conscious choice than from habit

During Rubenfeld Synergy sessions the client wears loose clothing, for comfort whether lying on a cushioned table, sitting in a chair, or moving about. As illustrated in the stories in Healing Journeys, while the focus of sessions is on the present, resolving unfinished business with the past is very much part of the healing process.

Ilana Rubenfeld created the Rubenfeld Synergy Method in the 1960s. A brief history of how she came to do so is included in Healing Journeys. Ilana’s long-awaited book, The Listening Hand: Self-Healing Through the Rubenfeld Synergy Method of Talk and Touch, was published by Bantam in September, 2000.
