Trame is a therapeutic technique developed in 1990 by a French physicist and alchemist named Patrick Burensteinas.

Trame is the term used to describe the grid system that holds the body together.  It is a series of energetic lines that make up the pathways on which travels the information necessary for our bodies to continue to exist and function in harmony.  Another traveller on these pathways is our emotions.  Although they cannot be seen or grasped, emotions are very real, and we can feel their effects physiologically.  For most of us, we are born with free-flowing pathways, the trame of our body is clear.  When an emotions arises, we express it, and our needs are either met or not, depending on the circumstances of our environment.  When we do not release the emotion, either because we do not feel safe or the shock of the moment is too overwhelming, these emotions crystalize on the grid system.  Much like traffic in a city, one broken down car, in this case, unexpressed emotion, can cause congestion throughout the whole system.  Over time, these blockages accumulate and disrupt the flow of information, causing 'dis-comfort' and 'dis-ease'.  Whether this discomfort is experienced on a physical, emotional, or relational level, it is perceived as suffering.
