dc.description.abstractThis study identifies a new paradigm for working with body, mind and spirit that facilitates psychotherapeutic processes. It uses both the verbal and nonĀ¬verbal components of human experience. It transforms life's challenges into an empowering, transformational and healing process, allowing opportunities for unfolding our true potential. Philophonetics is a modality of counselling, psychotherapy and coaching. It is a phenomenological approach to human experiences that facilitate the client in a process of active exploration, self discovery and empowerment to become more conscious in their own knowing and way of being in the world. It accepts awareness through the living body as a way of knowing through sensation, movement and gesture, visualization of internal dynamics and the resonance of sound therapy. The skills learnt in the sessions can be practiced and integrated by the client and used for self-management and self-care between sessions and after therapy is completed. The present study has shown how effective philophonetics can be and it is evident that this modality cuts across cultures. The findings of the present study are in keeping with international literature which confirms that philophonetics unlike other therapeutic modalities, it does not rely heavily on the verbal mode but employs about 80% of the nonverbal phase.en_US
