Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) was developed by Asha Clinton, PhD. AIT is based on the belief that most psychological disorders are caused by trauma. AIT Practitioners define trauma as any occurrence which, when we think back to it or when it is triggered by some present event, evokes difficult emotions and/or physical symptoms or sensations. Trauma can have developmental or situational origins. Remembering trauma, disturbing emotions, or frightening experiences makes muscles go weak. Through muscle testing, an AIT Practitioner can access mental & emotional issues and information at the unconscious level, where it is often stored. Trauma memories are stored in the body, mind and spirit. AIT quickly removes the after-effects of such traumatic events.
The human body contains hundreds of locations where there is focused & concentrated energy. There are seven major energy centers, commonly referred to as "chakras". The chakras are centers of force, located within our body, through which we receive, transmit and process life energies. Each chakra in the body is recognized as a focal point of life-force relating to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies. The chakras are the network through which body, mind and spirit interact as one holistic system. The main purpose in working with and understanding the chakras is to create integration and wholeness within ourselves. In this way the various aspects of ourselves (physical, material, sexual, spiritual, etc.) all work together, and that each aspect is as much a part of the whole as the others. The energy created from our emotions & mental attitudes runs through the chakras and is distributed to our cells, tissues and organs. Realizing this brings tremendous insight into how we ourselves affect our bodies, minds, and circumstances for better or worse.
