Dr. Judith Swack receives ACEP award for major contributions to the field of Energy Psychology

Healing From The Body Level Up • January 2, 2024

At the May 2015 17th Annual International Energy Psychology Conference the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) honored Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. by awarding her the “Contribution to the Field Award” for her major contribution to the field of Energy Psychology.


Dr. Swack was nominated for this award by other notable leaders in the field including, Barbara Stone, Ph.D., author, teacher and developer of the Soul Detective work, Gloria Arenson, past President and member of the Board of ACEP, and Sharon Cass-Toole, PhD, CCA, RP, DCEP, President and Executive Director of the Canadian Association for Integrative and Energy Therapies (CAIET).


Judith Receiving Award Cropped 1In introducing the award, Dr. Phil Mollon, head of the ACEP Ethics committee said, “The recipient of this award represents a very important frequency within the ACEP spectrum. She is a real scientist – she has a PhD in biochemistry – and numerous publications in peer reviewed scientific journals. Her work addresses the embodied soul – working with the body, mind, spirit, and relationships, to facilitate the soul’s mission – and to identify and remove the interferences with this.


Naturally psychic, she displays courage in being willing to explore realms that might frighten others – engaging her enquiries always with the attitude of a true scientist. Over many years she has developed one of the major and most original approaches with the Energy Psychology family – sometimes copied (not always giving her credit). Refreshingly forthright, she can at times be gloriously honest. Her work is called Healing from the Body Level Up – and she is, of course, my good friend Judith Swack!”


In accepting the award, Judith said, “I have spent many years in my office/lab with my clients and colleagues developing HBLU. It is now a robust and extensive body of work, and I’m focused on making it readily available to all mental health and healing professionals. I have realized that it takes an organization to get that kind of reach. ACEP is my organization and I’m happy and honored to be a part of it.”

Swack, Ph.D. At the recent ACEP conference (May 2013) I ran into Jane, a woman who had attended my presentation at the Energy Psychology conference the previous October. There I had demonstrated an energy transmission technique that I called “The Look” in which someone remembers a traumatic emotion, locates that feeling in his/her body, and I look at it. About 10 seconds later, the feeling dissolves. At the end of that session, I transmitted that ability to anyone who wished to receive it.

Successful Treatment of Physical Problems Starts with Acceptance

Copyright 2014 revised 2025 Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. Three years ago, John’s blood sugar levels started to rise. Although John’s father and several other relatives had diabetes, John refused to believe he might really have a problem. Although his doctor had encouraged him to modify his diet and lose weight, John continued to eat whatever he wanted, not exercise, and stay fat. Now at age 52, his fasting blood sugar was 150 (normal is 70-99). When I asked him if he knew that he had diabetes, he told me that there was controversy over whether or not fasting blood glucose was a legitimate test for diabetes, and the medical establishment was now considering the A1C measurement as more accurate. So John got an A1C test, which also showed he was diabetic.

Open Does Not Mean Vulnerable

Copyright 2025 Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. Jane was dating two men at once and having trouble deciding who to choose. She listed all of John’s wonderful qualities and all of Steven’s wonderful qualities and remarked, “If I could just put the two of them together I’d have the perfect man.” When asked why she didn’t just date one man who had everything, she said she was keeping one man as a backup because she didn’t feel safe with either one of them. Puzzled, I asked, “Why would you date, let alone marry, anyone you didn’t feel safe with? Clearly, you’ll never marry either of these men.” Jane simply looked astonished. Love is a beautiful thing. We all need to love and be loved. Sadly, many of us have been hurt by the people we love and who are supposed to love us. When that happens, we no longer feel safe, and we shut down the ability to give and receive love. The tragedy is that we can no longer feel loved or experience ourselves as loving beings. We no longer experience the nourishing flow of warm golden buttery energy that uplifts the heart/soul, connects us all, and soothes all pain. And everyone else we could be loving is robbed. According to the dictionary, the word “vulnerable” means open to attack. When someone says, “I’m afraid to be vulnerable” he/she should be afraid to be vulnerable, but he/she should not be afraid to be emotionally open, emotionally present, or emotionally close. Opening to give and receive love should not make one vulnerable. So what to do about it? With HBLU we acknowledge the fear and heal the traumas, dysfunctional family system and cultural brainwashing patterns that caused it. This allows people to reach out with their hearts and share one of the greatest gifts in life. If you or anyone you know would like to open your heart to love, get happily married, or improve your marriage or other relationships, HBLU methodology can help you.
