Friday, August 6th, 2010INTRODUCTION FROM A SEVERELY ABUSED PATIENT’S PERSPECTIVE
By “Ken”
“I’ll chase you across all time, through hell itself, until you get it right.” Yup, that was my Karmic vow, my curse on my mother – and myself – before I was born. The story of my healing journey with Dr. Proskauer is told […]
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? Karmic Therapy reveals the vast tapestry of causes and effects in which our lives are embedded, and this perspective can serve to diminish identification with our little body and mind, our small self—humbling the ego, so to […]
The Scope of Karmic Therapy
Monday, June 21st, 2010The value of Karmic Therapy lies in healing physical, mental and spiritual splits, dissolving pain and tension and emotion held in the body, releasing negative beliefs in the mind, and restoring soul energies that have been dissociated from the body. Sometimes even soul loss, the most drastic and costly form of […]
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 […]
Dualistic Spiritual Beliefs and Ego Inflation
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Dualistic spiritual beliefs, such as the struggle between the forces of light and darkness, the modern version of heaven and hell, may function as ego projections, rooted in the private hell of the traumatized body and the personal heaven of dissociative escape. Ego inflation and glamor often accompany these beliefs, and a group of “true […]
Fear and Pain Can Bring Positive Spiritual Growth
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Often Karmic Therapy sessions that deal with the trauma of accident, illness or surgery suggest that encountering these intense experiences of pain and fear has had positive consequences for spiritual growth. Dissociation challenges our identification with the physical body and offers a taste of the peaceful, loving, expansive out-of-body state that is ordinarily lost in […]
Awareness during Coma and Anesthesia
Friday, February 26th, 2010The rich recollections of a young child’s experience recovering from an automobile accident contradict the naive assumptions about coma and anesthesia that prevail in technologically sophisticated medicine. We might provide more compassionate support for our fellow beings as they pass through illnesses, accidents, surgical operations and other crises if we assumed that they were absorbing […]
Paying Attention to Details of Traumatic Experiences
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Accidental injury and hospitalization can cause deep psychological scarring, especially in young children. Karmic Therapy reveals unique specificity in each instance. Often it is the child’s reactions to certain key details of the experience, which may seem peripheral to us at first glance, that leave a lasting wound. These details cannot be predicted from a […]
Healing Dissociative Splits
Monday, February 22nd, 2010A conscious act of the will is required to undo the original choice to escape into dissociation. The mind must re-engage with the body, finally allowing the pain and fear held there to be experienced, expressed and released. This is not so easy to accomplish after many years living in fear of the unknown hurts […]
