Summary of The Vertical Healing System:
The 5 Levels of Healing
by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, 1998
True healing requires simultaneous work
on all five levels: 1) the physical body, using biochemistry and
mechanics, 2) the electromagnetic body, using acupuncture, neural
therapy, 3) the "mental body", using Applied
Psychoneurobiology and other psychotherapeutic methods, 4) the dream
body, using systemic family therapy where unresolved conflicts
disappear, and finally 5) the spirit body using the laws that are
gradually revealed to us as we mature for prayer and meditation.
Conclusion:
The vertical healing system can be a
valuable foundation for understanding truly what holistic medicine is
and gives the practitioner a road map that makes is easier to navigate
the sometimes-chaotic landscape of healing techniques. Each level has
it's own order and it's own laws which need to be understood. The lower
3 levels belong to the personal realm, the 4th and the 5th levels to the
transpersonal realm. Each higher level has an organizing influence on
the lower levels. The lower levels supply energy to the higher levels
and create boundaries for the individuals to exit in. The practical
conclusions for leading a healthy lifestyle and guiding a client towards
well-being may look like this:
1. Put as much effort as possible into
healing your own family. Don't rest, until there is love and respect
between everybody in your generation and the two generations before you.
The "family" includes children who had died early, aborted
children, husbands that were excluded after a divorce, mothers that died
at childbirth and uncles that died in a war. The healing involves
relating and communicating to everybody that is alive and holding a
loving memory of those who are gone.
2. Pump as much energy as possible into the
lower levels: Eat right, sleep right, exercise, and take your vitamins.
Nurture your body-electric with massage, acupuncture, and neural
therapy, laying down by a waterfall, listening to good music and doing
your yoga stretches. See a therapist to work through confusion and
unresolved conflicts on the mental level.
3. Turn inward to investigate the 5th
level. Don't follow anyone's advice. Create time and space to be alone.
You need all of you, undistracted to do this.
