Description:                
Radix is founded upon the work of psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich M.D. It
was developed by Charles Kelley, PhD, who established a well-grounded
training program which incorporated Reich's principles of bodywork, enhanced by eyework developed from the Bates Method of vision improvement.  Dr. Kelley chose the word "Radix" from the Latin work meaning "root" or "source," referring to that force which underlies all movement, feeling and growth in a person and in life.

The goals of Radix work are to help people become more fully alive and
more authentic. RADIX is applied differently to clients according to their
individual needs, and yet common themes underlie the work such as mind/body integration, grounding, centering, creating effective and flexible
boundaries, developing the ability to contain feelings, ego strengthening,
pulsation, charging, discharging, intimacy, pleasure, choice, and awareness.

There are a variety of methods used within the work to address these
themes, including movement, visualization and intentional touch.  Yet a
trained pactitioner can effect change and growth during a verbal interchange when his or her interventions are guided by an understanding of the Radix process in the individual.

The Radix Institute is a nonprofit organization that trains and certifies
people to do Radix work. The Institute also provides continuing education
and other professional services for Certified Radix Practitioners.  The
Institute is managed by an 11-member Circle of Management which is a
democratically organized governing structure.  The Radix Institute is
nurtured by a vigorous, warm, diversified, and ever-creative community of
gifted trainers and practitioners.

Radix work is practiced internationally.  Generally, the Radix Institute
certifies practitioners to teach in the United States and Canada.  There is also a training center in Australia, and many practitioners in Europe.  For a complete listing of practitioners who are currently members of the Radix Institute, please visit the Radix website at http://www.radix.org
