NTU (pronounced ‘‘in too’’) is a concept that originates from the Bantu people of Central Africa. The term NTU refers to the universal and unifying vital life force and spiritual essence at the core of all physical existence. Some techniques are meditation, prayer, nature study, role-playing, reframing, guided imagery, and the use of family drawings and genograms.
