The Original Bowen Technique ABOUT THE COVER In September at the Palm Cover “Harmony” Market in Tropical Cairns, Judy O’Farrell and I we set up a beachside tent with 3 massage tables to introduce Bowenwork to as many people as possible. We offered 20 minute sample sessions. Mother Nature provided the perfect day and Bowen did the rest. We treated over 40 people. With a 50/50 ratio of locals and tourists we were able to refer International travellers to the Bowtech website to find Bowen Therapists on their return home overseas. My favorite moment, a middle aged man was getting off the table and I asked him how he felt. He politely responded that he didn’t feel any different. As I said Bowen continues to work for a few days, he bent down to put on his shoes and exclaimed “Wow, I can’t normally bend this far down and usually have trouble putting on my shoes.” I love Bowen. - Debbie Ross (Cairns Queensland) “On the Rock”, St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada.

Iaşi- Romania ...... TRAVELLING FOR KNOWLEDGE S.B.P. 2. Last year three Greek Bowen Instructors travelled to Bucharest and Italy to attend the Master’s seminars taught by Ossie and Elaine Rentsch, thereby expanding the field of Bowen amongst the Greek teacher community. Alexandra Antoniou and Marina Mousikou attended the seminar in Bucharest in August and Antonis Xiroudakis during the Bowen Conference in Italy in September. It has been a unique experience to witness the results of the new master moves, as they present the culmination of everything that we have learned up to now. The presence of Ossie and Elaine has been an excellent source of inspiration for all of us and we really feel very lucky to have had the chance, to see this magnificently radiant couple performing with expertise, love and wisdom. The seminar in Bucharest was very well organized by Andrew Zoppos, Carmen Sopon and Christina Feodot, to all of whom we feel obliged for their hospitality and warmth. The teachers in Greece are looking forward to the next Master’s seminar in the hope that it will take place in our country, giving us the opportunity to review the course and establish our knowledge.

Please confirm before registering MY BOWEN JOURNEY Finally it is done. I can call myself Bowtech Practitioner. Many years I worked as a Physical Therapist and I was always looking for new ways of treatment because I could feel that there must be something else for more effective treatment of my patients. 2 years ago my German wife came for the first time in touch with BowenTherapy in Germany. It was amazing. My wife is suffering since many years of MS and has big difficulties using her right leg. After her first Bowen treatment she could feel at least for some hours big improvement in her walking. This was the moment when I decided to learn this amazing therapy. In this time was no Bowen course available in the Philippines. With the big support of my parents-in-law and our German friends I was able to start my Bowen journey with Module 1 – 4 in Germany and later on Module 5 – 7 in Hong Kong. It was a very exiting year full of many new impressions and friends all over the world. Now I can say – For so many years Bowtech is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Tom Bowen.

RITA HART-SMITH (AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE, PHILIPPINES)
1. What I like about Bowen is: It’s so gentle that we can do it on anybody, including new born to elderly. It’s so flexible that we can perform on anyone, anywhere at any time. The effect is profound and long lasting. Anyone with a loving heart and a pair of caring hands can learn. It’s holistic and a beautiful gift that we can give without limit.
2. The most annoying thing about Bowen is: The moves are so subtle that the receiver hardly notices the work and thinks that nothing is done.
3. My favourite procedure is: UR/TMJ! As I travel a lot, this procedure has been the most amazing one that helps me with unexpected infections because I can do it on myself effectively! Also the profound effects on clients over the years give me goose bumps each time.
4. The most valuable advice I’ve ever received about Bowen was: Less is more! (Try it if you, as a practitioner, haven’t got the trust in the technique yet.) Wait – with patience and an open mind. Let the body unfold it’s incredible intelligence to start the healing process. If you wait long enough, you will be stunned by the ‘miracles’ in front of your eyes. Really humbling.
5. I try to avoid: To be technical when explaining Bowen to people. The concept is really simple – the body gets a message and it will gather all it’s resources to address the challenges with it’s order of priority.
6. Client worry too much about: How many treatments to “cure” their conditions. One of our jobs is to educate our clients about respecting & listening to their body.
7. I regard the mandatory wait periods: Absolutely essential! And the waiting time determines by the body responses.
8. I am most careful about: Under promise (the healing outcomes) because I know that the body will deliver with a correct Bowen move.
9. My greatest challenge is: Not having done enough presentations about Bowen in my community. I now have a plan to do regular ones with various organizations, disregarding my busy schedule.
10. My advice to practitioners is: Learn well and apply the technique with compassion, seeing the client as one unit (not just the knee or pelvis etc.) One precise Bowen move can make a big difference! Ever since I qualified as a practitioner in 1996, I have been attending workshops EVERY year to ensure my moves are intact with Mr. Bowen’s original work. Enjoy the journey!

Page 15 ULCERATION OF THE LOWER LEG
This account is from Martina Brezovits who works in a hospital in Austria. She attended Hidden Pearls 1 and 2 in Vienna. She shares a patient story that illustrates the profound effect of Bowen.
My first challenge as a Bowen Practitioner.
Shortly after receiving the Bowen Diploma, a Medical Doctor asked if I could help with ulceration of the lower leg and circulation problems. The women aged 72, was threatened with possible amputation of both legs if things should get worse.
The skin on both feet was very dark, one heel was completely black, with pliers after the 3rd treatment After that I was assigned more and the open wounds discharged which took the doctor by surprise. patients with leg ulcers that also pus.

After the hospitality of Romania Page 19 FEAR TURNS TO JOY
To see the look of pure joy and delight on my granddaughter’s face at the New Years Eve Fireworks was a reward beyond measure.
Tia has been terrified of loud noises- particularly thunder and fireworks, ever since birth. For her whole 9 years she has received countless “Bowens”’ however in October last, a very special event happened. As she lay on the Bowen bed (I always ask her to see if she can feel anything) she noted “butterflies” in her stomach. .The “butterflies” lasted quite some time and then, of her own accord, she rolled into the fetal position (which always links with a trauma in the womb or at birth) and said ”Morning (my Grandma’s name) that’s the same butterflies I feel in my tummy when a thunderstorm is coming. It’s a feeling of fear (her word) and I feel very scared.
This was the moment I had been waiting for, Tia had recognised her feelings. You see, when she was 8 months in the womb her Mother had suffered a severe Asthma attack, which required hospitalisation and steroids. We talked about how scary it must have been, how the sound of her Mummy’s heart beat could have sounded just like thunder and how they both would have been very frightened.
From that moment on the sound of thunder became less and less frightening. And then the greatest New Years gift of all, her face lighting up with delicious excitement as each new firework exploded with an almighty BANG and a burst of brilliance.
Her story validates all we have discovered with our Mind Body Bowen approach.
Connecting the sensations with a trauma from the unconscious cellular memory and bringing that experience to the conscious mind [when the person is ready, as Tia was] unlocks the created tension and the body begins the journey of repair and rebalance.

Page 20 BIO OF THE CORE CONNECTION
DESLEY FAULKS’ Summary of her presentation at the Italy conference in Courmayeur 2012
The Coccyx TMJ, I have named “The Core Connection” has manifested itself from many years of working in a clinical practice. Presentation of different cases, some extreme, some just everyday people with long term history, I had noticed good results were achieved with the Bowen Technique. Some cases the body would not unlock or hold what the client needed for a positive result. Through my own recorded information and possible ignorance of the Matrix of the human body systems I started to experiment with different combinations.
I studied information on the TMJ the Coccyx related links between Muscles, Nerves, and Fascia. The three major systems I look at : System 1 - Embryology : John Wilks Research - The Bowen technique – The Inside Story System 2 - Connective Tissue Muscle Attitudes - Dr Jean Claude Guimberteau System 3 - Fascia Thomas Myers - Anatomy Train
Dr Thomas Myers answered a lot of my own questions being that a move at the furtherest point of the body namely the feet could get a response at the head. Research on my accident victims head injury’s and neck injuries with the loss of lower body movement, it became obvious to make a profound shift we needed the power moves top and bottom Coccyx TMJ. Learning the importance of the TMJ and thanks to John Wilks for introducing us to the knowledge of Embryology where it all began. My presentation represents the clinical cases of everyday people.
From the ignorance of not knowing why and how it worked back, then to having the information today to possibly suggest putting these to powerful moves together, understanding the telecommunications of connective tissue in the human body I carefully used Coccyx TMJ together my results were achieved.

Happy Christmas
‘Lily’, a 9 year old NH racehorse belonging to a friend of mine went down with colic three days before Christmas. The vet was called and diagnosed a blockage in the small intestine. She did not have a twisted or displaced gut. After administrating anti spasmodic medication, their advice was to drive her 150 miles to be operated on.
Lily is not good with medication but she was no longer laying down or kicking when I saw her but looked very drugged. Two further veterinary opinions later that day and the advice was to keep walking and dose with liquid paraffin and electrolytes.
I treated Lily with the EMRT Colic Procedure and left the yard on a cold, dark evening without much hope. I had a text and hour later to say she had passed some very small bullet like droppings. I returned the next day and she had not passed anything else but her medication had worn off. We had a very sore and angry mare this time. I treated her again with the Colic Procedure in the morning and by lunch time she started to pass normal droppings and continued to do so. On the 27th December I returned to the yard to treat one of the other horses and Lily was just coming back from gentle exercise.
I have not had cause to use this procedure before and I have to say it was amazing. What a fantastic Christmas present. Happy horse, owner and myself. We all couldn’t stop smiling.

Page 22 FIRST CCmrt- event in switzerland
On 17 June 2012 the CCmrt Practitioners in Switzerland were invited to join the annual meeting of the association‚ Hundeseelen’ in the eastern part of Switzerland to introduce CCmrt and Bowtech.
After a wonderful brunch, Gaby, the main organizer, informed about the day’s program.
First the vet informed about how your emotions affect your dog. Then Angi talked about her organization’s neutering project in Romania and finally, Eveline informed about CCmrt and Bowtech.
After that session we started treating dogs and humans. Nearly all dogs got a CCmrt treatment and so did some of their owners.
Eveline Sprunger Instructor made sure Vet Dr. Popovic also received a treatment. This proved to be time well invested as he is now so convinced of Bowen that he offered his practice as a future location for CCmrt courses. He is also planning to send one of his veterinary nurses to the course so she can later on treat cats and dogs in his practice. Not only do we have a prospective new course location but we already have a number of prospective course participants, too. This nicely sums up our experience on that day. We had a great time and feel it was a successful day for the technique. We were able to reach out to a group of dog lovers that hopefully will remember Bowen in the future should man or dog be in need of help. Surely, many of them will spread the word about the wonderful Bowen/CCmrt technique.
This was the first CCmrt event in Switzerland. In the meantime we have also organized a Bowen lounge for humans and dogs, also in the eastern part of Switzerland. Further information will follow... Andrea Richter / Eveline Sprunger (Instructor - Fallanden)

It’s quite an invasive procedure and many things could go wrong especially close to the sinus and brain where bacteria can infect especially after surgery. He had broken his nose as a young man and the bone healed itself in the wrong position gradually growing across his nasal passenges blocking his ability to breath oxygen thus he was using his month to take air in and this caused a build up of carbon dioxide in his blood.
I prepared Stuart with Bowen Therapy for one month prior to his surgery focusing on Head procedure, Sinus procedure, Upper Resp/TMJ in particular. Stuart the 1st day Then two weeks before I included the Respiratory and Vagus procedure. after the operation The night before I repeated the latter and included the Head and Sinus procedures with mim. basics. The operation went well even though his specialist had to remove a fair amount of bone that had obstructed his nasal passages and the procedure took longer than expected. According to his specialist there was minimum bleeding and NO bruises. I also had him take Arnica orally to help with preventation of internal bruising as a further precaution. When he arrived back into his room from recovery I again made little Bowen moves on his nose section, Head procedure and Sinus to aid any swelling. He said that the pressure that was there had alleviated and felt much better.
He was supposed to stay in Perth for three weeks close to the hospital in case of 2nd day after the operation emergency bleeding or complications, that never eventuated. After one week he was told by his specialist that he need not see him for four weeks! He has to continue his post operative care to assist with removing blood clots and debris and from his nasal passages the blood/clots after the third day ceased. He now can breath freely through his nostrils and sleeps without incidence.
I have always told my clients who have scheduled Knee and Pelvic replacement how beneficial Bowen Therapy is and they have always come back stating what their doctors echoed my words”minimum bleeding and quick recovery” occurred. This is first hand experience for me and I can honestly say Bowen MAKES a huge difference to Pre/post surgery. Juliana Allen (Instructor) 3rd day after the operation Western Australia

CHRISTOS MILIANKOS (Australia)
1. What I like about Bowen is: It is so simple and deep working. 2. The most annoying thing about Bowen is: How can Bowen ever be annoying! 3. My favourite procedure is: The Psoas - I just find it keeps everything upright and in order. 4. The most valuable advice I ever received was: ‘Trust the technique’ and ‘less is more’! 5. I try to avoid: Nothing really - I love and use most procedures regularly. 6. Clients worry too much about: I don’t find clients worry much at all - apart from the initial treatment when some think “What is this going to do?” I just love the reaction when they come back in for a second treatment and they are amazed! 7. I regard the mandatory wait periods: The wait periods are when the actual healing is happening - there is no point giving the body messages if we don’t wait for them to be delivered! 8. I am most careful about: Draping and setting a relaxed environment. I find when clients feel relaxed and safe the healing becomes more profound. 9. My greatest challenge is: To keep to the time of the session though give each series of moves the necessary waits for that client. 10. My advice to practitioners is: Keep it simple, try not to work on too many issues - the Bowen will take the healing where it is needed.

ALEXANDER ADAMIDIS (Greece)
1. What I like about Bowen is : The Bowen Technique is a mild yet very effective modality. It is non-invasive to the patient and non-exhaustive to the practitioner. I’ve heard at least two of my students quote “I’m sorry I did not learn this technique 30 years ago” and the second one raising it to 40 years. It is unbelievable. 2. The most annoying thing about Bowen is : That, unfortunately, some people, especially doctors, don’t want to recognize its efficacity. 3. My favourite procedure is : The Shoulder Procedure. Only because I have had many successes with this procedure from the very beginning of my Bowen training. 4. The most valuable advice I’ve ever received about Bowen is : Trust the technique. Do not underestimate it. Things will happen on the right time. 5. I try to avoid : Mixing or altering the technique, as some people do for their own interest. I tell my students that when a good product comes out in the market, some people will try to copy it, for their own benefit, by changing a few things here and there in order to avoid any conflict with the law. We simply have to stick to the original Bowen Technique as it was taught by Tom Bowen to Ossie, to Andrew, and both to me. 6. Clients worry too much about : The effectiveness of this simple technique, after they have tried so many other modalities that failed to resolve their condition. 7. I regard the mandatory wait periods : Very important. I even extend those pauses frequently as it is a bonus to the patient’s body. 8. I am most careful about : Telling students about the importance of the rules to observe during a session and avoid mixing the technique with other modalities. 9. My greatest challenge is : To convince people, in a diplomatic manner, to try this innocent yet very effective technique for their own benefit. 10. My advice to practitioners is : “Less is best”. The human body carries its own intelligence. Do your moves and step back, let the body do its own homework, it knows better.
Page 25 FINDING MY PURPOSE AS A TEENAGER
As a teenager I suffered from consistent back pain. After having no luck with a Chiropractor I was referred to a Bowen Therapist who worked with my Mum.
I felt much improvement and after a few sessions the therapist recommended I attend a course in Bowen as she thought I’d enjoy it. So at the age of 16 perhaps the youngest person at that time to do Bowen training, I attended my first course in Bowen, at a time when I felt unsure as to what my career path was going to be.
From the moment I saw the first Bowen moves being performed by the teacher I was engrossed in the beautiful simplicity of this technique. It made sense to me and felt so easy, this is when I knew what my purpose was. That was 12 years ago and I have practiced Bowen ever since.
I have a 7 year old daughter who has been Bowened from conception, through pregnancy, labour, immediately after birth and many times since. Cira is a true Bowen baby and this shows in the person she is. I am so thankful that I found Bowen at such an early age and have never questioned my purpose in doing Bowen - I know this is what I shall be doing for the rest of my working life.

MY DAD
My Dad is 100 years old, and is a great fan of Bowen Therapy.
On 17th August, 2012 he rang and asked for Bowen in the morning as he had lots of cramps in (L) neck and abdomen and a sluggish bowel. After lunch he had a T.I.A. with language disturbance (not able to form any words) and a slight deviation of the (L) mouth upwards. I was with him down the street at the time, so as I had permission to do Bowen.
Treatment: (prone) BRM’s, West Move, Neck, Hamstrings and Pelvic, Respiratory Colon Procedure, TMJ. He got up from the table talking quite ok, and no sign of mouth deviation. He thanked me very much.
21/8/12: Very confused all day and fell backwards at 7 pm 22/8/12: T.I.A. approx. 10 a.m, with no speech. Speech returned later in p.m. 23/8/12: Doctors appointment – heart arrhythmia, but B/P OK 24/8/12: Complained of blocked bowel, but head clears Treatment: (Supine) Respiratory and Gall, Pelvic, Colon procedure, TMJ.

Hamstrings and Ankle, Pelvic, Colon Procedure and TMJ – Bowel movement approx. 2 ½ hrs later. He commented “I get a lot out of the Bowen Treatment” He does too! He has macular degeneration and hearing problems, but otherwise very active and sprightly for a 100 year old.
