It was at Dion Fortune's dinner table that Regardie was first exposed to the
ideas of Freud and C. G. Jung. Shortly thereafter, still struggling with the
onslaught of emotions stemming from his breach with Crowley, Regardie
entered first into Freudian psychoanalysis and later into Jungian analysis.
During this phase Regardie became aware of how great a role his own
unresolved emotional conflicts from early childhood had played in his rupture
with Crowley. Regardie eventually concluded that it was such unresolved
infantility that accounted for most of the chaotic group dynamics of earlier
esoteric fraternities. This would lead him to insist on the necessity of
psychotherapy for anyone seriously practicing any spiritual discipline.

Regardie later moved to the U.S., where he became familiar with the ideas of
Wilhelm Reich and entered into Reichian therapy. He also began to correspond

with Reich's daughter Eva, which stimulated him to take a serious interest in
the mind-body connection and at length to train as a chiropractor.

Even toward the end of his life, Regardie continued to respect both Freudian
psychoanalysis and the ideas of Jung. He eventually came to believe, however,
that Jungian analysis as he had experienced it was lacking in effective
technique. He ultimately concluded that verbal therapy of any orientation paled
in the light of Reich's bodywork, and that the techniques of ceremonial magic
would one day become a powerful adjunct to psychotherapy.

As a therapist and a bodyworker, Regardie combined Reich's approach with

minor chiropractic adjustments, basic magical techniques, and hatha yoga. In a
typical session, Regardie would begin by initiating deep, rhythmic breathing in
the client for a considerable period of time. This hyperventilation would create
a slightly altered state of consciousness. During this process Regardie would
survey various areas of tension on the body and would reduce their tightness
with a type of deep and at times painful massage.

Both Regardie and Reich felt that unresolved emotional conflicts were stored in
the body as tension. Using a physical approach would release blockages so that
life energy, which Reich called "orgone," could pass freely through the entire
body. During the course of a session, a great deal of emotion would frequently
emerge, which the client was encouraged to express.

Regardie often related Reichian ideas to the magic of the Hermetic Order of the
Golden Dawn. He was particularly fond of one magical exercise called the
Middle Pillar Ritual. In this technique the magician visualizes successive
spheres of light at various points above, below, and along the spinal column
while vibrating certain words. This generates a certain kind of energy, which,
according to Regardie, is identical to Reich's orgone. This energy is then
circulated around and through the entire body by means of further
visualization.

Legitimate esoteric orders have always been primarily intended to provide a

context within which initiation may safely and effectively occur. As will be
shown here, there are many parallels between initiation and forms of
psychotherapy that take into account the spiritual dimensions of growth.

Regardie even advised that the two should be considered as complementary

processes, and that initiation should always be accompanied by some form of
psychotherapy.

Regardie of course considered Reichian therapy to be the most useful adjunct

to magical work. In view of the current lack of trained Reichian therapists,
however, other schools of psychology suitable for work alongside magical
training are those that include spiritual growth as a part of their paradigm, such
as the Jungian and Transpersonal orientations, Psychosynthesis, and the
emerging school of Esoteric Psychology.
