FAQs

1. How long does a session last?

Your first Bioenergy Balancing session will last 1-1/2 hours. You will complete a personal history/intake form prior to your first session. This provides us with background on your health and other concerns. We will review this information and your list of what you’d like to address at the beginning of your session. Follow-up appointments are generally 1 to 1-1/2 hours depending on the amount of time you request.

2. How many sessions will it take for me to achieve results?

Generally people experience significant results after their first appointment.  Depending on severity of your health problem or emotional issue and the number of times it may have been reinforced during your lifetime, it may take several sessions to fully address the complexity of a significant issue.  For instance, someone with a chronic health problem that has been in place for years may require a series of appointments in order to unravel the many layers of similar events that have intensified the impact now being experienced in the body.  Other matters, however, can clear up in one or two sessions.  Many people also come to view Bioenergy Balancing as a vehicle for personal growth, and enjoy periodic appointments as a means of self discovery.  It is very revealing in a non-threatening way, and, over time, it can significantly shift the quality of your physical and emotional responses so they become more consistent with your current, conscious intentions.

3. Do I have to travel to the BBC? Where is it located?

The Bioenergy Balancing Center East Bay is located in the Richmond Hills of the San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA. However, all sessions are conducted via phone or via audio Skype, so no travel is necessary. Since Bioenergy Balancing takes place on an energetic level, and energy is not limited to the space/time domain, an individual's energy can be "brought in" and work can be done on a remote basis. We work this way, producing profound healing results, with people all over the world.

4. What results can I expect?

People's experiences vary. Many people remark that they feel lighter after their Bioenergy Balancing session. They say the shifts they experienced were subtle though profound. During a session an individual's experience is generally one of deep relaxation, insight and release. Occasionally an individual will tear up at the recollection of an event or memory that has caused an energy blockage and is being released. The expression of extreme emotion is rare, though significant events are, in fact, released. After a session, people generally remark that they feel like they have experienced an important shift energetically. We recommend that people give themselves some room to experience these changes and to allow them to settle in. People tend to notice changes in symptoms and emotional patterns within a few days. Often when a person returns for a follow-up appointment his/her initial symptoms have cleared up so completely that they nearly forget the weight these problems previously had. Now familiar with the results available through Bioenergy Balancing, individuals are generally eager to move forward into other health/well being matters.

5. How frequently should I schedule my appointments?

We recommend that a person wait between two and three weeks between appointments to let the results fully settle in. If you choose to schedule more frequent sessions, this is fine. Some people elect to schedule appointments for every week, over a period of time, or every two weeks.  You make the choice.

6. Do you talk about nutrition or supplements?

Yes.  Given the fact that Bioenergy Balancing is founded in both the Eastern traditions of chi (body energy) and also Western principles of physiology and biochemistry, we pay considerable attention to how the body is using nutrients. Depending on a client's presenting concerns, we often investigate food allergies, metabolic pathways and whether the body is, in fact, using the B-vitamins and minerals it is getting from food and supplement sources.  We do not promote a particular diet or regime other than recommending wholesome foods from organic sources.  When the body flags a problem with a specific food, we trace and release the source of the negative association that generally underlies such an allergy.  If the body requests specific supplementation we consult the body consciousness as to the dosage, duration and time-of-day it considers optimum.  Nutritional supplements are in addition to the appointment cost, though we recommend as few as possible.  We think of them as a jump-start to encourage the body to function better on its own.

7. Will it be uncomfortable physically or emotionally?

Generally speaking, Bioenergy Balancing is not uncomfortable.  No doubt the process involves identifying and resolving matters in the past which for some contain traumatic content. These issues, however, come to the surface and unfold as a non-invasive conversation between the body consciousness, the Practitioner and the client.  The dialogue, which occurs by means of muscle testing, is concerned with precisely identifying how incidents are being held energetically by the body.  Therefore, the client witnesses the process from a different perspective than if they were unearthing the past either emotionally, as in therapy or physically, as in deep tissue massage.  A client often recalls the content of an incident and may re-experience some of the emotion, but Bioenergy Balancing does not rely on intense emoting as a means of release.  Rather the Practitioner works efficiently to guide the body in its release of the "charge" or energy blockage.  This is accomplished through a gentle tracing of the specific meridians that the body has identified as holding helpless feelings associated with the incident.

8. How much does it cost?

The first session is generally one and a half hours long and costs $175.  Sessions thereafter can range from 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

9. What is the history/track record of Bioenergy Balancing as a healing discipline?

Bioenergy Balancing was originally created by Priscilla Kapel in 1985 in Palo Alto, California, USA.  Priscilla developed the work from her extensive background in massage therapy, Applied Kinesiology™, biochemistry, anatomy and human physiology.  Priscilla is the Director of the Bioenergy Balancing Center in Palo Alto where she runs a full clinical practice as well as a two year training program for Practitioners.  Through her clinical practice, Priscilla has honed the fundamentals of Bioenergy Balancing while remaining open to discoveries that guide the work into new areas of effectiveness.  People who have experienced Bioenergy Balancing have attributed profound healing results to the work.  Bioenergy Balancing is a vibrational healing art, however, and as such, it does not purport to be a fact or data based discipline.  Although there is considerable personal evidence about its positive effects, no scientific research has yet taken place to statistically demonstrate results.  Referrals to this work occur primarily through word-of-mouth, which has resulted in a booming practice for Priscilla and many of her (over twenty) trained Practitioners.

10. Can Bioenergy Balancing work in conjunction with Western medical doctors or other healthcare providers?

We rely on medical doctors and other healthcare specialists to provide the critical research, diagnostic and treatment services so many often need. Bioenergy Balancing does not constitute treatment nor is it medical or diagnostic in nature. It is not a substitute for qualified medical, therapeutic, or chiropractic care although it can work in a complementary fashion with any or all of these disciplines. Our commitment at the Bioenergy Balancing Center is to a relationship of partnership, respect, consultation and referrals in the healthcare community, across all disciplines, to provide optimum healthcare for people everywhere.
