Shen Emotional Release Therapy works at the level of the physical fascia. Fascia is the structure that holds the physical organs in place or allows them to move freely within their required ranges. It is also described as an "envelope" that contains emotional memories and thus acts as a block on the life force, or the soul. Shen Emotional Release Therapy helps the fascia restructure itself to release the blockages and allow life energy to reach optimum efficiency.
