GNM Chart
GNM (German New Medicine) has researched and mapped the connections between psyche, brain and body - in detail. There is amazing consistency and every claim can be backed up with scientific proof to today's standards.
To take this theory and shape it into therapy is a challenge. Existing therapeutic relationships with practitioners who are open to including GNM with their own modalities are, I believe, the way to go at the moment? GNM does not specifically train their own doctors yet.
The temptation is to rush: to take this information in via our cerebral cortex and expect that our psyche will accept it? Right now... The human psyche has to be ready to accept new information and we have to be patient and not rush the internalization of what is, after all, a complete paradigm shift. A complete reshuffling of everything we 'knew'.
GNM will show how certain psychological shocks cause certain physical conditions which manifest in certain places on the body. Simultaneously.
There are energy and spiritual medicines that have always believed this. But, before GNM and CT scans, there was no scientific proof or confirmation.
Today, with the advent of the CT scanner, every connection can be documented with perfect predictability and reliability.
GNM explains these links that we may disconnect them, should we choose. In this way, some of my clients have begun to heal their own physical challenges, including cancer. I am both humbled and amazed at how logical and how strong is the human body. Your own psyche is the source of all complete healing for your body. Of course there are accidents - physical accidents and accidents of birth - and these do not conform to these patterns.
The psyche initiates and drives every disease and condition of the body and this is evidenced by CT scans of predictable brain activity which happens at the same time. I've yet to see an exception: the psyche initiates and drives every disease and condition of the body.
If we can find and resolve the psychological issue, healing will start. Of both emotional/mental issues and of physical issues. The theory behind GNM is very similar to that which underpins much of the couples/relationship and individuals work I do. I'm sure that's one of the reasons that I was able to accept and understand it so quickly.
The therapist's job is to find out exactly where the client is, psychologically, and gently walk with them on the path to healing. Emphasis is on the word 'gently' as all psychological work seems to have to be done slowly. Along the way, with the help of GNM, the therapist can predict and warn the client what to expect in terms of symptoms and take the mystery and fear out of the process of healing. There are a few conditions which are best left unhealed as the healing process is particularly treacherous. Thankfully GNM can also warn us which are these conditions.
It sounds easy?
I'm afraid it's not. It's important to find the exact right psychological cause and then to resolve it gently, slowly and thoroughly. It's never easy to see issues that are close to you and with GNM this is no exception. Unraveling how your psyche has perceived certain conflict shocks and how best to unravel them takes time and is easiest if you can find a counsellor or other therapist to work with - using GNM as a foundation for your work. I've seen amazing shifts happen - when you eventually find just exactly the right 'shade' of the conflict and see clearly, perhaps for the first time, how our psyche has reacted. Only then can you begin to resolve it.
After resolution of the psychological issue, the body will go into healing. Provided there are no 'tracks' causing us to go back into the active phase, we will run the course of the disease and heal. Chronic disease is often very difficult - but not impossible - to counter because there is an often unknown trigger causing us to start healing and then go straight back into the active phase.
It's important to take time and learn exactly what is meant by the words here - remember, this is a totally new paradigm. When your psyche truly understands what's happening it gravitates strongly toward healing - but understanding is important.
GNM isn't always about life and death diseases. Often - mostly - it's about much lesser disease and learning to listen to your body. Caroline explains how GNM makes us better - kinder and more thoughtful - people. GNM is about - in my opinion - using our physical symptoms to help us decipher what's going on for us in our mysterious psyche. It's about linking our physical health to our psychological health... After all, we are one - our bodies, minds and psyches are all part of what make us whole. Our psyches, bodies and brains are all equally important and interdependent.
GNM is a completely new way of understanding our health. My own belief is that it's vital to be able to truly understand this process and to take in the information slowly. The human psyche takes time to absorb and internalize new information. To this end I am currently putting together some articles to pace this information in manageable pieces. Excellent GNM education is already available - Caroline Markolin is a gifted teacher and explains GNM, straight from the source: Dr Hamer. However, I think it's important to apply this information in a clear and therapeutic way in order to experience healing.
Occasionally, despite our best efforts, we will lose people we love - whatever treatment methods they use. This is always tragic and at that point, only our faith can help us.
Until, that is, we are ready to explore and learn a little more and cast around to find new teachers. I love the analogy that life in this world is a little like the life of a baby in the womb. He is growing arms and legs, ready to use in this life. Although he has no knowledge of life outside the womb and certainly there's nowhere to stretch and use his limbs inside the womb? He is the student and we are the teacher. We know how his arms and legs will be used. He can do nothing but accept that there must be a 'grand design'. In similar ways, we are in the midst of learning this new paradigm of medicine. It is slowly unfolding before our eyes. But at the earlier stages, we really have no option but to trust - trust ourselves to choose wisely - and to keep an open mind? I believe that this is the real work for all of us: to keep an open mind and to allow ourselves to see.
The psyche is ultimately in control of all of our wellness and healing. It's power is complete and awesome. Learn to express what's in your heart in a gentle way that you are comfortable with. Find the courage to explore what's in your mind and set yourself free. Literally free of disease.
Be compassionate to your body. Trust the innate wisdom held in your heart to guide you to the place where you are happy and comfortable in your own skin. Give yourself the blessing of knowledge and acceptance through NVC (Compassionate Communication) and enrich your relationship with yourself and others with Imago style work - which naturally flows into and out of the GNM world. Explore this exciting complete paradigm shift: a challenge to 'get your mind around', even for those who already believe in alternative and energy medicine.
Remember, there are no guarantees. Except that we can all live this life to the absolute fullest if we choose. An Olympic runner had to learn first to walk and to risk grazing and skinning his knees when he fell.
