Phase Six Ortho-Bionomy: Guiding the Energy Body into Wholeness
here is a stage within the Ortho-Bionomy journey where attention begins to move beyond the visible body. Where the presence of the practitioner meets not only muscle and bone, but the space that surrounds them. Phase Six is an invitation to enter this space — not to leave the body behind, but to meet it in its energetic expression, and to listen as it begins to move toward greater spaciousness and coherence.
This is not a departure from the somatic, but a continuation of it — a shift in scale, a widening of perception, a deepening into what the body already knows.
The Energetic Field as Landscape
In Phase Six, the practitioner works directly with the client’s energy field — engaging with it in the same way they would engage with structure or movement: through presence, relationship, and a guiding toward comfort.
As the practitioner attunes to the energetic expression of a body part, they begin to sense qualities of flow, orientation, or density. They may notice where energy lingers, where it moves freely, or where it wishes to reach. With gentle awareness, the practitioner supports the field in expanding, softening, or reconnecting with other areas of the system.
At times, the practitioner may sense connections wanting to form between distant parts of the field. These energetic relationships may be supported, not imposed, allowing a kind of internal dialogue to resume. The body begins to remember itself through the field.
There is no offering of energy. Nothing is added or taken away. The client’s system is treated as whole and inherently wise — the practitioner simply supports the conditions through which that wisdom can express more fully.
A Subtle Somatic Touch
In Phase Six, touch may arrive quietly — a light contact, a gentle hovering, a soft resting of awareness just at the edge of the body’s field. The focus is less on doing, more on attuning.
Through this kind of contact, the practitioner listens — not only with the hands, but with their whole attention — sensing the flow, tone, and expression of the energy field that surrounds the body.
This is subtle somatic touch: a way of entering into direct relationship with the field. The practitioner meets what is present with presence, and in doing so, something begins to open. The field may soften. It may stretch into a wider shape. It may begin to reorganise itself around a newly sensed coherence.
As the field welcomes this quality of spacious attention, it begins to incorporate greater spaciousness into itself. Movement arises — quiet, potent, and clear. Energetic flow becomes more available. A natural movement toward fullness begins to reveal itself, as the system orients toward its own innate wholeness.
In this space, the body and the field meet through resonance. The interaction becomes less about outcome and more about relationship — a shared awareness that invites integration and expression in new and expansive ways.
Chakras and Subtle Resonance
As perception deepens, the practitioner may begin to attune to the more refined layers of the energy body — including the chakras. These centres of awareness are not approached through technique or analysis, but through felt sense and relationship.
A practitioner may notice how one centre relates to another, or how resonance might become clearer with subtle support. The invitation here is not to open or fix, but to allow. To be with what is present, and to meet the chakras as aspects of the same whole — each with its own rhythm, tone, and movement toward alignment.
As these centres are gently recognised in the context of the wider field, they often begin to reorient. What emerges is not a manipulation, but a rebalancing — one that arises from within the client’s own intelligence.
The Practitioner’s Role
In Phase Six, the practitioner holds a specific quality of presence. They do not offer their own energy or guide the session from intention. Instead, they meet the field with receptivity, grounded awareness, and an open listening to what wants to move.
By attuning to the flow of the field, sensing subtle shifts in tone or coherence, and gently guiding energy toward comfort and connection, the practitioner supports the body’s unfolding into fullness.
This role requires patience, neutrality, and trust — not in an outcome, but in the body’s inherent capacity to reorganise when the right conditions are present.
Benefits of Phase Six
Clients often describe Phase Six as a deeply calming and spacious experience. The effects may feel subtle, yet there is often a sense of reorientation — a quiet sense that something has shifted in a meaningful way.
Some of the potential benefits include:
Energetic Repatterning: Supporting the flow and coherence of the body’s energy field.
Chakra Resonance: Encouraging alignment and communication between subtle centres of awareness.
Nervous System Regulation: Providing the conditions for deep rest and parasympathetic settling.
Embodied Spaciousness: Inviting the system into a wider, more integrated sense of self and wholeness.
A Space Where the Body Expands
Phase Six offers a different kind of touch — one that moves through space, through resonance, through the quiet invitation of presence.
In this phase, the body is met in its fullness. Structure and field, sensation and spaciousness, form and flow — all held as aspects of the same intelligence.
There is no separation. No fixing. No force. Just a subtle return — to coherence, to movement, to the quiet knowing that the body already carries.
