Limiting Beliefs Held in the Body and Mind
By Stephen Proskauer MD | February 8, 2010
When we are unwilling or unable to face and integrate a difficult experience, the
memory of the event can be split off from awareness in the form of tension or pain frozen in the body, causing physical symptoms, and associated limiting beliefs held in the mind that can generate personality problems. The process of splitting off unintegrated fragments of traumatic experience serves a protective function at first,but at the cost of blocking and distorting our mental and physical functioning, separating us from parts of our past, and reinforcing our isolation from everyone and everything around us.

Karmic Influences Can Dominate a Person’s Entire Life
By Stephen Proskauer MD | February 4, 2010
Frozen, locked in karmic patterns can generate limiting beliefs and disabling life scripts. Sometimes karmic influences completely dominate every aspect of a person’s life. The process of recalling episodes from childhood, the prenatal period and other lifetimes can help patients to change negative beliefs about themselves and the world and cut the roots of dysfunctional personality patterns.

Limiting Beliefs and Personality Problems
By Stephen Proskauer MD | February 2, 2010
Trauma stored in the body as localized pain or tension can give rise to the limiting beliefs that underlie personality problems. The mental equivalent of tension in the body is a fixed idea about the self and the world, a false conclusion in reaction to pain and fear, a belief upon which a habitual pattern of dysfunctional thinking and behavior is based. This form of karmic impairment can be focal, limited to only one or two aspects of functioning, or it can be a pervasive script affecting every facet of life. In either case, the karmic pattern inhibits and distorts the expression of life energy and stifles inner freedom, preventing the personality from becoming fully integrated.

What Then?

What if the illusion of separate existence is just a stratagem for a certain kind of learning, not our true condition at all? What then?

The Natural Progression of Release in Karmic Therapy
By Stephen Proskauer MD | January 31, 2010
The clearing process seems to be internally guided. All we need to do is provide a safe space and some encouragement for the blocks to melt in a natural sequence. As one bodymind block dissolves, along with the full expression of buried thoughts and emotions, the next one appears, until a spontaneous endpoint is reached when the body is relaxed and free of pain.
The sequence in which blocks release seems to be arranged like the layers of an onion. Sheila started with strong feelings of anger and disillusionment concerning her current lover, the outermost layer, and worked down through deeper and deeper layers of buried pain and rage about her childhood relationship with her father and the impact of that relationship upon her life.

What If?
By Stephen Proskauer MD | January 29, 2010
Why can’t we know (as opposed to believe) what happens after we die? What if we never really existed as separate from the whole?

The Clearing Process in Karmic Therapy
By Stephen Proskauer MD | January 29, 2010
Looking back on the course of Sheila’s work, a pattern is discernible in the clearing process that is characteristic of this method. Her first block emerged as a localized sensation of pain or tension. After Sheila vented the thoughts and emotions that had been frozen into that particular block, the physical sensation diminished and eventually disappeared. Then another locus of pain and tension immediately arose elsewhere in the body—this one associated with its own set of suppressed thoughts and emotions, following naturally upon what had just been expressed in connection with the previous block.

The Flux between Past and Present in Karmic Therapy
By Stephen Proskauer MD | January 27, 2010
An aspect of Sheila’s session that is typical of the Karmic Therapy process was the free flow back and forth between present-day issues and past feelings. In this instance, Sheila began with feelings of anger and betrayal toward her lover, then focused on similar feelings about her father. From time to time during the session she noticed the similarity between the feelings about her father and the current emotions toward her lover.
This movement back and forth between past and present allows the work to be integrated into current life step by step as it goes along. Since this method of dissolving karmic blocks does not involve inducing a deep trance state, the patient is awake and alert and can make insightful connections as the session proceeds.
