1. There are so many options in complementary medicine to choose from. How do I know which one(s) to choose?
This question requires an explanation of the two sides of our life energy. The first side is called the “sustentive” side and it is responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body. Naturopathy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, rolfing, nutrition, etc all address problems that reside in our sustentive power and can be used to improve our health on one level.
The second side of our life energy, called the “generative” side is different. This side goes beyond homeostasis to generating new cells, new ideas and even new disease states. It is the generative side of our life energy that is affected when we contract a contagious disease or when cancer cells develop, for example. The underlying causes of many symptoms and conditions reside in this generative side of our life energy. The unique power of Heilkunst resides in its ability to improve the health of the generative side of our life energy.
This does not mean that these other options for complementary medicine are not useful. They can be very helpful, and may even be recommended at one point in your treatment by your Heilkunst practitioner. The key idea to remember is that they are operating on the sustentive side only. Heilkunst is a good place to start treatment, because Heilkunst incorporates an understanding of both sides of our life energy.
2. I use naturopathic supplements and techniques that claim to get to the root cause of my health problems. Why would I need Heilkunst if I am using naturopathy?
Most conditions are caused by deeper underlying issues that supplements, nutrition and lifestyle cannot address on their own. These lifestyle changes can be very helpful (and are part of Heilkunst treatment), but will not address issues such as inherited predispositions and traumas that have created energetic blockages. Often, when we improve our regimen (nutrition, activity level, sleep, etc.) we experience an initial improvement in whatever ails us and we think we have resolved the problem. Then, at some point a trigger causes the same symptoms or new symptoms to appear despite our improved regimen. Heilkunst treats the deeper underlying causes that create these symptoms.
3. I have had some emotional events happen to me, but I have dealt with them. They are in the past, and I feel fine now. How would Heilkunst help in this circumstance?
Our cells have a memory, so even when we think we have dealt with issues through counseling or other means, the energy of the ‘trauma’ remains in our system. This type of energy is a significant contributor to symptoms and disease. Heilkunst uses homeopathic remedies and Sequential Treatment to clear your system of these ‘traumas’. These events may be affecting you in ways that you are not aware of. For example, there may be patterns that repeatedly occur in your life that you would like to change, but the energy blockages from past events and inherited predispositions are preventing you from making these changes. Heilkunst removes these blockages.
4. I just don’t believe in homeopathy, so why would I want to be treated with Heilkunst?
Homeopathy is not a belief system. It is a science, based on Natural Law. Natural Law is a law of the universe that simply exists, like gravity. We don’t choose to believe in gravity, we just know from experience that it exists. It is the same with the Natural Law of Similars. It was discovered through observation and careful scientific study and testing, until the science of how to apply it was developed. In the western world, most of us did not learn about the scientific concepts behind homeopathy in school, so these concepts are foreign to us. Those who have studied quantum physics will be closer to understanding energy medicine in general. It’s important to remember that not knowing about something does not mean it does not exist or that it is not scientific. If we never explored the things we don’t understand, no new scientific discoveries would ever occur!
Some clients may use Heilkunst treatment solely for nutrition and lifestyle treatment. Customized lifestyle plans can be developed that take many client-specific factors into consideration, such as blood type and glandular type.
5. When I have a health problem, I go to a Classical Homeopath. Why would I want Heilkunst treatment?
If you have had success with your classical homeopath, then that treatment will not be wasted. Heilkunst is more comprehensive than classical homeopathy in many ways. Heilkunst goes beyond treating current symptoms to treating the negative effects of past traumas and inherited predispositions in a systematic way that is gentle and safe. Heilkunst treats the system on all levels – physical, emotional and soul/spiritual, and includes the important aspects of nutrition and lifestyle. If you are having recurring or chronic problems, it is likely that the root causes have not been addressed and Heilkunst treats these root causes. If you are experiencing new symptoms after old ones have been resolved, the same underlying causes may be creating different symptoms – again, Heilkunst treats these underlying causes.
