What is SHEN® Therapy? SHEN® is a hands-on technique for energy healing or touch therapy. Practitioners seek to enable a normal energy flow through the body by using light hand placements. SHEN® Therapy focuses on the emotional biofield of each body and how the human body's emotions can be affected by the molecules in the body that are surrounded by tiny electromagnetic fields.*

SHEN® Therapy was developed over 25 years ago by American scientist Richard R. Pavek, and has evolved into an involved healing process. The basic concept behind SHEN® is that the human body has energy fields that can trigger human emotions. These energy fields can be felt and treated through hand placement techniques. SHEN® bodywork is a deep process of emotional understanding in regards to the nature of emotion, energy and the brain's relationship in the process.

SHEN® Therapy focuses on the body's biofield qi (pronounced "chi"), and loosens contractions and painful emotions by using qi energy and human touch. This technique helps the painful emotions dissipate and starts the client's healing process.

How is SHEN® Therapy practiced?
SHEN® Therapy practitioners do a non-manipulative laying-on of hands to assist the biofield (or aura) in returning to its normal flow through the body. This technique helps release deeply held or suppressed emotions.

What SHEN® Therapy degrees or certificates are available?
Certificate training programs are available to become a "Certified SHEN® Practitioner." Training involves highly experiential workshops. During each of the sequential four-day workshop sections (SHEN A & B), more than 30 hours per section, trainees learn to give and receive SHEN sessions. After the workshops, students go through a year and a half to two-year internship with a mentor. SHEN workshops are designed for professionals and non- professionals "who seriously desire deep personal emotional change and growth." Continuing education credit is available for nurses , acupuncturists, and CMT/LMTs.
