Jack, a young man who volunteered for a demonstration session during a workshop, held his face and body habitually rigid and tense. In the first part of the session, Jack […]
How Birth Experiences Mold Personality Traits
Friday, September 25th, 2009The passage down the birth canal can sometimes be smooth and easy, but all too frequently it is a life and death struggle for survival. The details of this ordeal affect future personality and relationship patterns in specific ways. For instance, forceps extraction activates control issues and resentment at being dominated by others, while Caesarean […]
Birth Memory as a Three Track Recording
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Birth is the major transition into life. All earlier and later transitions seem to be connected in some way with the birth experience. Birth recall seems to come from three sources: (1) the baby’s body sensations passing through the birth canal and emerging into the world outside; (2) the mother’s emotional and physical reactions to […]
Low Self Esteem Originating in the Womb
Monday, September 21st, 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtBIXX_cRTs
Chronic self-esteem problems and depression that is resistant to therapy frequently appear to be rooted in the prenatal period. The most common prenatal set-up for depression seems to be an unwanted pregnancy complicated by maternal loss and stress, producing maternal depression.

Prenatal Memory
Friday, September 11th, 2009From conception onward, the embryo/fetus seems to absorb detailed information from its mother, including thoughts, spoken words, physical sensations, and emotions. Attitudes and feelings of others close to the mother may also be picked up and may make a negative impact, for instance, during verbal or physical conflicts or sexual intercourse. Intoxication with alcohol, marijuana […]
Impact of Parental Attitudes at Conception on Our Feelings about Sex
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009Karmic Therapy focused on conception is often the quickest and easiest way to deal with sexual dysfunction and other difficulties with intimacy. Among the many hundreds of patients I have seen over three decades, I can’t recall a single instance where the patient could not recall anything about conception.
Rhonda, a woman in her late twenties, […]
Remembering Your Conception
Monday, September 7th, 2009Unexpected as it may seem, clear and detailed memories of conception come easily to Karmic Therapy patients, usually from a vantage point hovering above the parents during sexual intercourse. During recall of conception, there is access to the physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts (conscious and unconscious) of both parents. Like birth, conception is a major […]
The Purpose of Living in Linear Time
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009In the dimension of physical manifestation, our experiences only appear sequential. They are separated by time and space so that all the variations on the underlying themes determined by the quantum pilot wave occupy the stage by turns in a sequence that reflects the karmic learning process. This separation by sequencing in linear time allows […]
