Unresolved emotional conflicts can lead to disease. Eliminating them breaks up psychoenergetic blocks. This book shows you how it's done.With the aid of a special test device, therapists can first determine the extent of patient subtle energy on all four energy levels (Vital, Emotional, Mental, Causal). Next, with the aid of special homeopathic compound agents, they can pinpoint patients' hidden emotional conflicts, which are the main causes of energy blocks. A few months of conflict therapy can then eliminate the psychoenergetic blocks, after which life energy can once again flow at full strength.This training and practice manual conveys the following: •The methodical tools of the trade for therapists (test device, testing instructions, organ test kit)•Background information (energy field, Chakra therapy, emotional basic conflicts, typology, acute and constitutive agents)•Practical application (test instructions for clinical practice, indications, limits to PSE)The book completely covers the contents of the course of training to become a "Certified Energy Therapist".

Basics

1 Introduction

This manual deals with the complementary-medicine method known as Psychosomatic Energetics (PSE), which the author developed in the mid-90s in his naturopathic general practice. As a textbook, it is oriented exclusively towards therapists, and presents the essential knowledge and insights of the method. It contains the learning material for the training course toward becoming a “Certified Energy Therapist”, a multiyear PSE-specific extra-occupational supplementary course with written and oral exams as well as obligatory continuing education. This training is authorized by the International Society for Psychosomatic Energetics [IGPSE: Internationale Gesellschaft für Psychosomatische Energetik; website: www.ipse.ch) and is carried out by a team of physicians and naturopathic practitioners.

Along with the multi-volume PSE readers, this manual is meant to serve as a practical reference work when questions arise in daily practice. In order to make this easier, it contains an index as well as an easily understandable copiously illustrated introduction to testing. It also includes many useful case histories as well as a rich variety of answers to frequently asked questions. I hope it will turn out to be a valuable enrichment of each reader’s daily practice.

Fortunately, Psychosomatic Energetics has quickly established itself as a new standard procedure in modern complementary medicine. In the opinion of many colleagues, this is attributable primarily to two characteristics of the method: the logical simplicity of its practical application and its high therapeutic efficiency. Meanwhile, in a great many clinical studies, the success rate for common mainstream medicine disease pictures is over 80%, in which more than 1200 patients from the entire range of mainstream medicine diseases have been treated. Many important questions in daily practice can only be answered at this high level of quality and confidence with PSE. In more than a few practices led by experienced therapists, this has now led to Psychosomatic Energetics becoming the primary procedure of choice.

Experience has shown that, with Psychosomatic Energetics, one can practice holistic medicine in the truest sense of the word, which leads for many disease pictures to psychological and somatic improvement or healing. The elimination of conflicts resolves psychoenergetic blocks, so that life energy can once again flow at full strength. A disrupted metabolic system is able to renormalize, amazingly often leading to emotional regeneration as well as physical healing processes. Thus, with PSE, one treats both body and soul – i.e. psychosomatically in the best sense of the word. Amazingly, this often even succeeds nonverbally, so that the method can be used successfully with children and animals, as well as with patients with a negative attitude towards psychotherapy. On the other hand, Psychosomatic Energetics is fundamentally open to the application of adjuvant therapies, such that psychotherapy, hypnosis or other procedures can be performed.

Psychosomatic Energetics is based on two fundamental theses. The first thesis is also one of the fundamentals of Indian Yoga and traditional Chinese energy theory, which says that the quality of the subtle energy field reliably reflects a person’s subjective feeling of health, and moreover is crucially related to health and illness – comparable, say, to the relationship between software (energy) and hardware (matter) in a computer. A person with a lot of subtle energy therefore feels fresh, lively and is usually healthy, whereas sick people tend to have low energy and feel tired and listless. The healing principles of Yoga and acupuncture developed from these observations, which are also the basis of Psychosomatic Energetics.

The second fundamental thesis of the method is based on the presence of emotional conflicts in the energy field. Shamans and spiritual healers have long been able to visualize these “demons” and regard them as important causes of disease. Unlike the current conceptual model of modern psychotherapy, PSE can show that emotional conflicts by no means represent purely emotional processes, but rather are permanently stored in the energy field and act there as “energy thieves”(cf. Fig. 1.1). For example, if a patient suffering from depression feels tired, his low energy is based on a Rage conflict which constantly siphons off energy and which can be viewed energetically as the cause of the patient’s depression. With the REBA® Test Device, one can measure the energy stored up in the conflict and thereby determine its size, which is an enormous advantage – vis-à-vis techniques which operate entirely on the mental level – not only for the determination of the clinical picture, but also for monitoring the course of treatment.

Psychosomatic Energetics uses a kind of quick or focal psychotherapy in which the conflict contents are briefly summarized in a short phrase. The patient is then asked if there’s anything he wants to say about it or if anything occurs to him. In practically all cases, patients recognize that the testable conflict theme addresses the current emotional topic. Many people feel quite relieved to be accepted and correctly understood in the depths of their being. The results of this quick psychotherapy have since come to be regarded as scientifically valid. In particular, the quick response of the conflict contents turns out in many cases to be especially beneficial. The patient maintains his individuality and sovereignty because no regression is performed, and the mental self-healing powers are optimally stimulated.

The discussion of the individual character type, based on testing of the Central Conflict, leads to particularly profound life counseling sessions. Patients thereby learn about the otherwise subconscious “stage directions” which influence their life scripts and relationships with others. Awareness of the script often enables breakthroughs in personality development, especially when the Central Conflict is dissolved at the same time. Afterwards, people seem more authentic, are more clearly able to express their needs and are better at demarcating boundaries; they put a stop to self-damaging behavioral patterns and once again look optimistically into the future. In the social give-and-take, the theory of character types has proven to be particularly beneficial in the areas of child rearing and choice of partner.

In Psychosomatic Energetics, energetic conflict resolution has turned out to be the key healing element, since ultimately the method also works wordlessly. One is thus dealing here with a special form of psychotherapy which is more closely related to modern energy medicine (such as psychokinesiology or Bach Flowers therapy) and humanistic somatic psychotherapy (biodynamic psychology) than, say, to traditional psychoanalysis. The essential point in Psychosomatic Energetics is that, for the first time in the history of medicine, it seems to be possible to portray one’s inner emotional “demons” energetically and most precisely by means of resonance over a few months’ time.

We now have amassed clinical practice experience from many thousands of patients who have come to us with a great variety of disease pictures, from simply feeling bad all the way to severe chronic ailments. With this treasure trove of experiences, therefore, this manual can offer quite solid instructions in procedures and techniques which have led to success in the majority of cases. Nevertheless, since it is a living method, new experiences and insights are added every day, which makes standing still impossible and which lead to constant improvement. To this extent, Psychosomatic Energetics represents a continuous learning process to which many colleagues, fortunately, constantly contribute. So the method is always being improved and expanded, and every reader is invited to join in this process.

Moreover, I hope that this manual will “infect” as many therapists as possible with the same enthusiasm with which it was written. Because PSE is not just a method with excellent results which is easy to use, but also often an outright adventure for the therapist, which ever and again leads to new stimulating insights. I also hope that this book will impart to my colleagues valuable ideas and information. But above all I hope to stimulate them, as they work with character types, to take on the important role of life counselor, whose comfort and advice is so sorely needed by so many suffering people. The PSE toolkit, which reaches deep into the mental and spiritual realm, makes it possible to impart brand-new insights to many people, which then enable them to reconcile themselves with their destiny and to recognize the truly significant life tasks which each person has, namely to get to know themselves at a very deep level and thereby fully develop their individuality.

1.1 How is Psychosomatic Energetics applied in practice?

Fig. 1.2 Kinesiological arm-length test with the REBA® Test Device.

In order to give the reader an initial impression of the daily routine with PSE, I would like to describe briefly (in greater detail later on) what a therapist actually does when using PSE. The first step measures the charge on the four subtle-energy levels Vital, Emotional, Mental and Causal using a test device called the REBA® Test Device (Fig. 1.2). The more energy the patient’s organism has, the more it can be stressed by the device’s vibrations, until finally it exhibits a test reaction. This means, for example in the case of a kinesiological arm-length test, that the position of the patient’s parallel arms will become unequal (Fig. 1.3). Other testing procedures can also be used, e.g. a shifting of the pulse wave in the reflex auriculocardial (RAC) test, or an electroacupuncture test device indicating a different value at a measurement point.

There is a training film available for ESP trainees which presents the rule-consistent use of PSE. Every Basic Seminar participant gets a copy of the DVD so that the testing steps can be calmly learned and rehearsed at home.

In the second step, the therapist uses small test tubes filled with homeopathic compound remedies. This is done to find out why the patient has too little energy – i.e. where the energy blocks are located. The test tubes are placed in the test honeycomb one after another to determine when the patient exhibits a reaction to the test. Experience has shown that, at a particular energy block – whether disturbed energy center (Chakra), subconscious conflict, geo-radiation or functional organ disorder – one of the test tubes will respond. Like a sore spot on the skin which hurts when touched, the organism reacts to the subtle vibrational signals of a particular test tube because it also contains the same vibrations.

In the third step, the size of an energy block – i.e. how much energy is taken away from the patient – is determined with the aid of the REBA® Test Device. The duration of therapy can be derived from the conflict size. The final testing step then checks whether the therapy will benefit the patient energetically. Placing the test tube in the pelvic region (Yin zone) simulates taking the agent. Next, the energy levels are retested; if they are noticeably improved or even normal (100%), it may be assumed that the medication in the test tube will be the right healing agent, and so the tested healing agent is prescribed for the patient.

After a few months, the patient is retested with the question now being whether the old energy blocks have disappeared and whether any new ones have surfaced. Case studies of more than 1000 patients have shown that, as a rule, there are good results after 2 to 3 sessions. Thus, PSE is not a fast-acting therapy, but rather takes a great deal of time – which the Psyche evidently needs in order to get reoriented. For this reason, all attempts to accelerate PSE have failed.

1.2 Psychosomatic Energetics vs. Orthodox Medicine – just a placebo?

Modern scientifically-oriented medicine (also known as “mainstream medicine”) is known to cover only a portion of the area which makes people sick and for which it can then offer appropriate therapies. One can only estimate how large the region is which mainstream medicine does cover. Based on my decades of experience as a practicing naturopathic physician (going after medical school into a multi-year full-time DH-technical college for training as a naturopath, I’ve been comprehensively trained in and have a good overview of both areas), it might be 30% or less. Now of course mainstream medicine is constantly improving and discovering new possibilities such as immune-system modulators in cases of inflamed rheumatism, yet this only marginally changes the lack of knowledge, i.e. the incapacity of mainstream medicine will remain pretty much the same for quite some time.

Because mainstream medicine is unaware of large regions which make people sick – ...
