Nicholas Demetry, M.D., is a holistic psychiatrist, energy healer and teacher, who has studied and taught psychospiritual work for 22 years. He studied with several spiritual teachers, healers and shamans, and has integrated techniques and methods of both traditional and alternative therapies. He received his Medical Degree from Emory University School of Medicine.
While studying transcultural psychiatry and mental health at the University of Hawaii, from 1976-1980, he traveled to Papua, New Guinea, where he observed traditional shamanic healers and the Western, scientific medical system side by side.
Committed to discovering the deeper causative factors in mental health and disease, Dr. Demetry undertook a variety of spiritual practices and a pilgrimage that led him to Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis, (better known as Daskalos), a Cypriot mystic and healer who showed that an understanding of personality can further the process of healing.
Dr. Demetry is in private practice in Atlanta and is director of the Etherikos International School of Energy Healing and Spiritual Development. He offers programs and classes throughout the world.
Dr. Demetry has co-authored a book, Awakening Love (Blue Dolphin Press) which integrates collective religious philosophy, individual spiritual experience, and modern-day psychology, as a means of spiritual healing.
In addition, he has released a series of four CDs of guided chakra meditations, with music, also entitled Awakening Love. The guided meditations on the CDs — read by Dr. Demetry, with accompanying music composed by Eddie Horst — enable the listener to get in touch with whatever aspects of the personality is blocked. Over the course of multiple listenings, deep insights can be realized, promoting a climate for spiritual healing.
