A New Way to Heal
From the Inside Out

What is the Mace Energy Method?

The Mace Energy Method — known simply as MEM — is a unique and powerful approach to emotional health and well-being. It was created by John Mace and refined over more than 50 years of dedicated research. Today it is taught and practised around the world through the Causism Institute, based in Australia.

MEM is the practical application of a broader body of knowledge called Causism™ — a word built from two Anglo-Saxon roots: Cause (to make things happen) and Ism (a doctrine or system). Together they form a philosophy whose core mission is simple: to assist people to be in control of their lives and live their dreams.

MEM starts from this truth: our feelings shape everything. When unwanted feelings take hold — whether from trauma, loss, stress, anxiety, or past experience — they quietly run our lives in ways we often don't fully understand. MEM addresses those feelings directly, at their energetic root, without requiring you to talk through painful events or revisit distressing memories.

Causism: A New Paradigm in Emotional Health

Traditional therapies often focus on the mind as the source of emotional problems — encouraging clients to talk, analyse, and relive difficult experiences. Causism takes a different view. It recognises that we are not only physical beings but also energetic ones, and that emotional upsets have an energetic signature that can be identified and resolved.

John Mace — a retired Master Mariner with decades of independent research behind him — drew on principles from magnetic theory, human energy fields, and close observation of how people actually change (or fail to change) in therapy. The result is a system that is unlike anything else in the complementary therapy world.

Negative Identities and Why They Hold Us Back

One of Causism's most important discoveries is the concept of negative identities. Every negative aspect of our lives — chronic anger, low self-esteem, persistent anxiety, fear, procrastination — tends to stem from a hidden part of us that was formed in response to difficult experiences. These identities operate beneath the surface, quietly influencing our choices, reactions, and sense of self.

An angry person, for example, may not want to be angry — but an angry identity inside them takes over in certain situations. Someone with low self-esteem is not broken; they are running a pattern created at a vulnerable moment in their life. MEM helps locate these patterns energetically and dissolves them — freeing the real you to live more fully.
