Pelvic-Heart Integration®* (also known as Heart in Sexuality) offers a comprehensive theory and techniques that can be practiced both in the context of psychotherapy as well as in an environment of personal growth. PHI emphasizes the necessity to connect and to integrate the power of instinctual sexual drives with our social engagement functions and heart to heart communication. Seen the many ways in which our culture has distorted the natural flow of sexual, ecstatic and orgasmic emotional expressions, it provides a valuable framework for integration, growth and for healing. Primordial in the practice is the necessity to create a context of safety in which the forces of love, eros and sexuality can be unified, and dysfunctions or traumas can safely be unraveled and healed. Another goal of the work involves the developent of trust, dialogue and growing harmony between the masculine and the feminine, men and women, as well as healty mirroring of these forces for children. At the level of our neurophysiology, it aims at connecting our genitals, heart, face and voice.
Masculine and feminine are non stereotypical nor are there strict rules that apply to gender. We could also refer to them as the "active principle" and the "receptive principle" as polarities. Or we could liken these polarities to Earth as associated with the feminine (Mother Earth), and Sun as associated with the masculine (Father Sun), but it's fine to turn it around as well, as some do and consider a Sun Goddess and a Father Moon.... The importance is that we bring consciousness and transformation to the internalised outdated inner models of the masculine and the feminine. Difficulties to develop intimate relationships, energy blockages, bodymind splits, and thought distortions of all kinds, may be signs of a lack of integration of pelvic-heart integration.
PHI emphasizes the possibility and desirability to connect and integrate the powers of instinctual sexual drives with our social engagement functions and heart to heart communication. Seen the many ways in which our culture has distorted the natural flow of sexual, excited, ecstatic and orgasmic emotional expressions, it provides a valuable framework for integration, growth and healing. Primordial in the practice is the necessity to create a context of safety in which the forces of love, eros and sexuality can be uncovered, known and unified, and dysfunctions/traumas can safely be unraveled and healed. Another goal of the work involves the developent of trust, dialogue and growing harmony between the masculine and the feminine, men and women, as well as healty mirroring of these forces for children.
In this journey we deal with common survival patterns that we develop at a young age, in response to inadequate sexual mirroring by parents or educators. We explore the "genital-heart-relational development" from the age of four onwards, but we also explore and look at the developmental stages of the teenager, adolescent, adult, and elder. PHI has the potential to improve the love and sexual life of people of all ages. We go back in history and feel into what happened there, embodying each phase of sexual development. We explore how different relationship structures create different attachment styles, different perspectives and relationship-content. These relationship-contents in father-mother-child triangle configurations as well as ancestral male and female information lines, are "emotionally-corrected" by creating "new virtual memories" with "ideal figures". In doing so we cultivate a re-emerging curiosity, excitement and innocence, and offer support for the healing physiological regulation, with effects on the subjective and objective well-being.
Central to the PHI-model is also what is known as the "Energetic Breath Cycle” (consisting of nine well defined stages). This map offers a stepwise learning and facilitates a therapeutic process addressing the different sexual stages of childhood development and into maturity.
