Michael O’Doherty Talks Bio-Energy Therapy

WORDS: ROSEMARY DELANEY

For centuries scientists, researchers and medical professionals have been searching for cures to various ailments and disorders – many previously fatal conditions have been eradicated. Unfortunately, some conditions have been replaced by even more deadly forces. As our world becomes supposedly more sophisticated, why are cancers, heart attacks, strokes and other life-threatening conditions on the increase? Is there just too much chaos and stress in our world or are we missing the

bigger picture?

I recently came across a very interesting individual who may be able to shed some light on our ability or inability to live long and healthy lives. I decided to participate in a weekend bio-energy training session to enable me to gain a greater insight into bio-energy therapy and apply the various techniques of healing to my own family. I can sometimes be sceptical so I had to drill deep to understand the concept and what an interesting journey!

Two decades ago Michael O’Doherty co-founded Plexus Bio-Energy with his business partner Tom Griffin. Michael’s theory is quite simple. Each of us is made up of energy. Bio-energy simply means — life energy. However, if the bio-energetic structure of our body becomes imbalanced in any way, the body becomes unwell. For the body to recover you have to work at this bio-energy level.

“We proceed with techniques that we have developed to manipulate the energetic system; to scan the energy field of your body. If we find blockages we proceed to release them through a series of techniques to re-balance and re-establish the flow of energy to the body”. Michael demonstrates his point on a volunteer through a series of deliberate hand movements — graceful and all consuming. I noticed from the outset that there is very little direct contact with the body and yet the whole process appears very powerful indeed.
