Group Sessions at the Bioenergy Clinic


Zdenko Domancic has used the Domancic method of Bio-energy in the treatment of over a million people since developing the method over 35 years ago. In his own country, Slovenia, the method is fully accepted, scientifically validated and the results well documented.With his team of therapists, 140 people are treated weekly, and the waiting list is six months. They operate from the largest bio-energy clinic in Europe. He favours group therapy as can be seen in the photographs below. Successful results of the method have often been achieved where conventional medicine has failed;they are particularly successful with children. The method is also used on animals. Learn more about Zdenko Domancic at http://www.domancicmethod.eu/index.html

Catherine’s clinics are at Harold’s Cross in Dublin and Barnesmore in Donegal.

Evidence - Bioenergy Healing Working

No one will, or should, ever guarantee that bio-energy healing WILL work, but  the truth is that it does for many, not for some.It should be said  that it may take time, particularly if a condition is deep-seated.The four day treatment may have to be repeated, and this has been the case with a number of the well reported healing successes. There are a lot of people who discount energy healing as a placebo effect; okay I say, if the effect heals, the body is healing itself; that is the objective.

Now I strongly recommend you follow this link: http://web.mac.com/bioenergy/HealingBioenergy/Movies_BLP.html

These are real people, with nothing to gain, giving testament to the positive results of  the Domancic Method of Bioenergy Healing.

Bioenergy Treatments that Worked

A visit to http://www.domancicmethod.eu/ throws up more examples of the success of the Domancic Method of Bioenergy Healing. Among the examples cited is the destruction of in vitro cancer cells at the Institute of Oncology, Ljubljana, Slovenia after a seven minute Bioenergy treatment by Domancic. Also mentioned is the documented treatment in 1985 of 300 people with advanced gangrene. The patients were cured without the need for amputations.

I was interested to hear Brendan Grace during a recent Late Late Show refer to his own experience of successful Bioenergy Treatment. There was no noticeable change in Bottler’s demeanour.

The Laughter Yoga Movement was started in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria; an initial session with just 5 people in a Mumbai park has since mushroomed into a global movement with over 6,000 clubs in 60 countries.



Just last week came the report: “ a research team led by evolutionary anthropologists from Oxford University in the UK has concluded that the endorphins released by a big belly laugh in a social setting can make pain more bearable.” Noting that laughter was more likely in groups, it was reported that “Laughing with friends for around 15 minutes boosts a person’s pain threshold by an average of 10%."

The paper, entitled “Social laughter is correlated with an elevated pain threshold” was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Laughter Yoga in Rathmines



Catherine will be leading two Laughter Yoga sessions as part of ‘Festival Under The Clock’ on April 2nd in Rathmines Town Hall. The sessions are at 11am and 2pm, admission is free. She recommends you wear loose clothing, bring a yoga mat or towel to lie on, and a bottle of water.

A combination of unconditional laughter and yogic breathing, Laughter Yoga is a group activity in which laughter is induced without comedy but soon becomes contagious and yields well proven physiological and psychological benefits to those involved.

Clinical research on Laughter Yoga has proven that laughter lowers the level of stress hormones e.g. epinephrine and cortisol in the blood. It combats stress and depression, fosters positivity and hopefulness.

A trawl through some ‘laughter quotations’ confirms the above, my favourites include:

“Laughter is an instant vacation” - Milton Berle

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face” -Victor Hugo

“Laughter………. the most civilised music in the world” - Peter Ustinov

“There is little success where there is little laughter” - Andrew Carnegie

“Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it.” Henry Ward Beecher

“A good, real, unrestrained, hearty laugh is a sort of glorified internal massage, performed rapidly and automatically. It manipulates and revitalizes corners and unexplored crannies of the system that are unresponsive to most other exercise methods.” Author unknown

(This latter is true, there are very impressive and genuine statistics for the value of laughter as a physical work-out. Elsewhere it has been described as an internal jog.)

Stress and Bioenergy

A lot of research has been carried out on the links between stress and various forms of cancer. The connection is no longer in doubt, but there are a number of proposed mechanisms which have different degrees of corroboration. These include the well- known suppression effect of stress on our immune cells, particularly as our immune systems contain cells that destroy cancerous cells. Another mechanism assigns a direct role to stress in triggering cancer; it involves stress as a trigger to the signalling between cells that work together in tumour growth. Yet another line of study suggests that stress might also reduce the effectiveness of cancer treatments.

We are all aware of other symptoms of stress: raised blood pressure, increased susceptibility to infections, skin conditions etc. These in addition to the lowering of our quality of life due to sleep loss, loss of appetite, libido, etc. and increased irritability in our interactions with others. There are many well-known methods of lowering stress, e.g. meditation, yoga, getting away from it all, walking; conscious steps must be taken to change how we deal with stress.

Bioenergy treatments are especially successful in dealing with stress-related conditions. Clients of Bioenergy for Health almost always remark on the relaxing nature of the treatment, a majority of those that have come claim that their levels of stress have dropped notably even before the four day treatment is finished.

Forms of Energy Healing

The Domancic and Plexus methods of bio-energy healing are just two of a large family of energy healing methods practised around the world. Other forms include qigong, medical acupuncture, acupressure, reiki, tai chi, yoga, bioresonance, reflexology , quantum touch, shiatsu, pranayama, Prana healing and a number of others. The approaches vary but all find their origins in the belief that a life force exists which we now refer to as energy.

Though belief in the theory is not usually necessary,openness to the treatment tends to bring more success in healing. This last point is borne out by the success rate in healing young children who come without preconceptions. Many people may be unaware that animals also respond very well to bio-energy healing.

A Mother's Account - Ronan's Story

18th August 2010

I’m writing this in regard to my 2 year old son Ronan.

He had a traumatic birth which in turn left the left side of his brain raised, it was like a hump. His doctors said it would correct itself but it never did.

He seemed a happy child from day one, he was developing normally, and then he hit 9 months and started getting very chesty, by the time he was 10 months he was in and out of hospital taking asthma attacks.

This time was very stressful for him. He was getting blood tests done and oxygen masks put up to his face every few hours, this went on for about six months, in and out every few weeks.

Again we got the asthma under control, the child we had before these attacks seemed to have disappeared. He was distant! I’ m not sure how to explain it, he would just fade off into his own little world.

He was late to crawl, then he was late to walk, and we just put it down to him being so sick for so long maybe he had to catch up. But when he hit 2 and he seemed to be getting worse, we had to do something. The hospital said they would send him for the assessments of needs, because he was showing a lot of red flags for autism. My heart was broke. Here are some of things he as doing.

1. He would not answer to his name.
2. He did not want to socialise.
3. Would stack pegs and line up cousins.
4. He would spin the wheels of his buggy for 20 minutes or more just looking into space.
5. He would remove myself and my husband and his two brothers from a room if he wanted to go into it by lining us all up against the wall.
6. He was very sensitive to the feel of things e.g. grass.
7. He was also very sensitive to food.
8. He would not give eye contact.
9. He would line things up in order of size.
10. He had no speech at all.
11. And his level of understanding on a scale of 1 – 10 was maybe a 1.

I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing, we went on the internet and came across bioenergy healing. After reading up a little we decided we would give it a go.

The way we seen it was Ronan was fine until he went into hospital so maybe he got so scared that his spirit went into a state of shock, “ a frozen state” that would have explained why he was so distant. Maybe he lost trust in us as parents.

We made an appointment with Catherine and still we didn’t know what to expect. We had not even hoped for the results we got. She explained it would be a four day session which last about 30-40 minutes. It’s non invasive which was better for Ronan, because he thought everyone was a doctor and he did not like doctors.

The first day we were very surprised, he took to her straight away, he was very relaxed.

That evening we noticed his head was a lot more even, I mentioned earlier that it was raised on the left side, we couldn’t believe it. We never thought we would see a physical change we were just hoping for a “few words” or some behaviour change. Over the next 3 days we noticed a lot of changes in Ronan. He seemed like he was coming back! He was enjoying our company and playing with his brothers, his eye contact was improving too. He even ate a full apple where before he wouldn’t even try hold one, let alone eat it.

It was June when he got his first healing and all I can say is he is improving day by day. It is now August and Ronan has around 25 words, his social skills have improved, he’s showing affection now, where before he wouldn’t.

He’s trying new food, he plays with the grass now pulling it up and watching it blow away. His level of understanding has gone from a one to around a five or six. He will visit the doctor’s surgery without getting himself into a terrible state. I’d say in total there has been an overall 85% turn around in Ronan. And that was only after one four day session.

He has become so aware of his surroundings, he is a delight to watch exploring things the way any other 2 year old would do. I could go on all day you how he’s changed, all I can say is I would highly recommend it to anyone. It has changed our lives for the better and given us our beautiful little boy back.

Testimonials relating to Bio-energy for Health

Perhaps it’s not surprising that there is a lot of scepticism around healing methods like the Domancic and Plexus Bio-energy treatments, and other forms of energy treatment. It is still relatively new in Ireland and does represent a markedly different approach to the standard medical treatment. I should stress that it is complimentary. It will take time for the success of the methods to become sufficiently widely known and accepted. Here are two genuine testimonials of my work from this year (I have withheld surnames for privacy reasons).

“Since my bio-energy treatment I have had tremendous benefit, having suffered with a chronic abscess problem. It is great to feel relief, have great energy and know how it feels to be pain free.” ……………Lisa


“Prior to my attending Catherine’s Clinic I was experiencing severe back spasm and stiffness to my neck which resulted in restricted movement and discomfort whilst driving. Having attended the Plexus group on previous occasions in the western region, I am acutely aware of the benefits this course of treatment has for me.

Following my first session with Catherine my condition had greatly improved, the spasm had disappeared and the limited movement to my neck had also improved. I can say yet again, after four days, that Bio-energy Therapy has worked for me.............Michael

The Web and Bio-energy Healing

It is especially instructive to browse randomly through websites. Spend a while searching for online mentions of bio-energy healing. Google, for example, blog + "Zdenko Domancic".

Of course you'll get all sorts of comments online, but the truth is that it is the results of the treatments that count, thousands of people have been healed; practitioners of the "Domancic Method" and the "Plexus Method" both get excellent results.

Below is a short passage from a posting on 'Intent', which declares itself: "a brand and Web site, aspires to be the most trusted wellness destination for capturing and sharing peoples intentions – personal, social, spiritual and environmental."

This article is entitled HOW I HEALED MY CANCER and was posted by Evita Ramparte 3/4/2009. "In 2007 I first encountered the Domancic Method of Bioenergy. I found it by far the most powerful healing modality I have ever experienced. I witnessed adults and children healed by this hands-off therapy - hundreds of them! Finally, I had I journey to Zdenko Domancic to meet him at his clinic in Slovenia, where I witnessed people getting visibly better over four days. I remember a man, who came to the Domancic Clinic in May - on a wheel chair. In September, he was not only walking but also pushing the wheel chair of his friend, who this time was brought for therapy. I witnessed children with autism, dyspraxia, asthma - getting better and better. It all seemed amazing to me, and normal to Zdenko Domancic, who helped already a million of people and received the recognition of Slovenian government authorities."

She goes on to say she now works with the Domancic Method of Bioenergy and like so many others is involved in passing the word along.

Bioenergy Therapy Works – See for Yourself

Short of experiencing the healing effects of Bioenergy therapy yourself, hearing the testimonies of others is the best I can offer. And that’s why I am guiding you to the following movie filmed in Los Angeles. It records the experiences of people who were involved in a 4 day Bioenergy Life Project event headed up by Zoran Huchstatter.

I have referred to this event twice previously so will not go into it here but strongly recommend that you take a look at the movie and decide for yourself. Further down the page there is an interview with Zoran and the father of this method of healing, Zdenko Domancic.

Learn about Bioenergy Healing

In the last year there has been a considerable increase in interest in bio-energy healing in Ireland. This has come about mainly as a result of the well publicised healing of Michael Flatley by Michael O’Doherty followed by the recent publication of O’Doherty’s book, Just Imagine A Life without Illness.In recent months there’s been a stream of queries into Bio-energy for Health about the therapy.

Over the course of writing this blog I have explained aspects of the therapy: a browse through the posts should answer a lot of the questions posed; I would also recommend a visit to my website http://www.bioenergyforhealth.com/

If you are interested in Bioenergy, watching videos is a painless way of getting information. I have linked up to various YouTube videos in the posts, here are a selection of them.

Bio-energy and Science

I have returned a number of times in this blog to scientific evidence for bio-energy therapy. The problem is that mainstream science has tended to shy away from research in this area, and this despite the growing body of evidence supporting its success in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions.

Inhibitory Effects of Bio-Energy Therapies on Cancer Growth -- An overview of recent laboratory studies in the U.S.and its implications in cancer treatment (2008 第十卷第四期绎Vol.10 No.4) written by Kevin W Chen, Ph.D. MPH., Associate Professor at the Center for Integrative Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine is an important publication for Bio-energy therapies (a range that includes Reiki, Qigong, Yoga and others), recognition of their efficacy and their future standing in medical treatment and self-care. It is available online at < http://www.qigonginstitute.org/html/papers/Chen_BIoenergy_Cancer.pdf >

Dr Chen’s Ph D is in Social Psychology with minor in Statistics, a combination which propelled him into the area of design and implementation of research projects that involve advanced statistics. He has extensive experience in research methodology relating to substance abuse and mental health. He is working on NIH-funded research projects to apply bio-energy therapy and self-care methods in treatment of addiction, arthritis, cancer and other health conditions.


Chen’s conclusion: “Encouraging evidence suggests bioenergy may have inhibitory effects on cancer growth, or prolong the life of cancer-infected animals, although improvement is needed in research design and replication of the findings. Bioenergy for cancer treatment is an area that is often neglected by mainstream medicine and research, and it should be seriously examined and considered as an important supplement to conventional cancer treatment.”

In his closing paragraph he writes, “Considering that there are no side effects in the bioenergy healings, and so much evidence exists on the benefits of bioenergy therapies for stress management and boosting immune system, the future of bio-energy therapy for cancer treatment is very bright.”

Bioenergy Therapy for MS and Parkinson's

Referring back to the Bioenergy life Project, (see entry for June 5th); it should be of great interest to those with MS or Parkinson’s to read the results and review articles now posted. Links at http://www.bioenergylifeproject.com/Bioenergylifeproject/Results.html

G. who has suffered from MS for 20 years:

“I can walk much further with my crutches and was able to go shopping for clothes for the first time in a couple of years. I am also able to stand to do my ironing, which I have not been able to do for many years. My hands are not as numb as they were………..My ability to move my eyes has really improved….”

R was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2007:

“Overall, I have has improvement in my mobility and balance. It is easier to move around and walking is easier. My general mobility is better and I am less slow………I feel my energy levels are better…………..I feel that I have had a improvement in my general quality of life and I plan to have more treatment.”

The review is written by Dr Alina Enista and first appeared in the EnergeticRejuvenation.com E-Newsletter Vol. 2 No.11/2009

“Later on, I watch Kate who only two days ago was totally immobilised in her wheelchair like a cage……………And here she is now, after the fifth or sixth session, smiling and rubbing her palms together as she saw the healers doing………….Helped by her caretaker and one of the helpers she lifts her body out of the wheelchair stretching herself upwards……………She takes few timid steps into the unknown of health. We all applaud frantically.”

There is a slideshow of the event accompanying the review; it is at

http://www.bioenergylifeproject.com/Bioenergylifeproject/slideshow.html

The healing sessions were organised by Zoran Hochstatter who is entrusted by Zdenko Domancic to introduce, represent and teach people the Domancic Method of Bioenergy Therapy. The sessions described above were conducted in Summer 2009 in Los Angeles and more are planned.

Bioenergy Therapy is available in Ireland now for many years. Bio-energy for Health is based in Harold’s Cross, Dublin and Barnesmore in County Donegal,
