Monday, July 5th, 2010Accessing prenatal and birth trauma is especially valuable for treating long-standing depression and anxiety states that have been resistant to other forms of intervention. Phobias, psychosomatic symptoms and early stages of some chronic medical illnesses may respond dramatically to exploration of karmic scripts. The Karmic Therapy approach can be very helpful […]
Applications of the Bodymind Process
Friday, July 2nd, 2010Translating the bodymind process into words and emotions is a powerful tool used in many clinical techniques, such as gestalt therapy, Arnold Mindell’s process-oriented psychology, and various forms of somatic therapy. Furthermore, Karmic Therapy offers a rich metaphorical perspective within which to view the significance of our lives. Because […]
Karmic Therapy Heightens Body Awareness
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010Karmic Therapy builds a bridge between body and mind, heightening body awareness by deciphering and releasing the thoughts and emotions linked with somatic sensations. In a culture that emphasizes a mental approach to life and in many ways discourages attunement to the body, there may be some general benefit to […]
Karmic Therapy in Clinical and Spiritual Practice
Friday, June 25th, 2010What role, then, might Karmic Therapy play in clinical work and spiritual training?

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010How does this notion of a discrete self arise in the first place? This question has been debated for a long time. In early life, each of us seems to form a conceptual construct of our boundaries, to be progressively modified and refined during the maturation process. The earliest distinctions appear […]
Beyond the Separate Self
Friday, June 11th, 2010Karmic Therapy takes us to the interface between psychology and spirituality. What might the significance of Karmic Therapy be in relation to meditation practice?
A fundamental truth at the cornerstone of spiritual teaching and meditation practice is the difference between pain and suffering. A transient sensation or emotion may be […]
Unbounded Awareness Unshackled from Time
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010The freer we are from strict adherence to linear time, the less identification there is with the small self that is limited to this one physical body and personality. Thus, Karmic Therapy may give us a taste of the unbounded awareness unshackled from linear time that usually arises only after […]
