Every healing is always ultimately a process of self-healing.

The imagination can serve as an elixer

to optimize and boost one's self-healing powers.

Medication, surgery, radiotherapy etc. help the healing process when one's own immune system can't keep up with the pathogenic development, but one's own healing powers always have to take over in the end. The imagination can, especially with the help of medical hypnosis, always enhance self-healing.

I would like to offer my readers the following meditation in German:

Self-Healing Meditation

This site provides a forum for information and exchange on questions of the interplay between mind, body, and society. It promotes enquiry and research into all aspects of consciousness, in particular, into the power of imagination over life, health, sickness and death.

One of the most significant general insights of modern science has been the "recognition that life experience can shape brain chemistry in significant ways, and that experience and neurophysiology form a seamless web. Contrary to the expectation that there would be strong causation from genes, through neurochemistry, to behavior, it turns out that gene expression itself is profoundly influenced by experience."1 Recent studies argue further that problems in information processing within neural networks, rather than changes in chemical balance, might underlie certain psychological disorders such as depression2 or psychosis3,4. It seems that mental health as well as mental illness are more a matter of information, rather than of chemistry.

Indeed, information, socially conditioned in the context of voodoo and tabu practices, can even kill an otherwise healthy individual! But if the power of imagination can end a healthy life, imaginative healing methods can just as well - under the proper conditions - rescue life from even a deadly (mental or physical) illness.

His hypnotherapeutic work is based upon several decades of scientific research and clinical experience that has led to two medical textbooks on psychogenic death (Tod durch Vorstellungskraft - Das Geheimnis psychogener Todesfälle (2009, Springer-Verlag, Wien)) and on psychogenic healing (Selbstheilung durch Vorstellungskraft (2010, Springer-Verlag, Wien)). He has also published a book (Biunity (Îkilibirlik) (2008, Agarta Yayinlari, Ankara)) comparing the work of the quantum physicist John von Neumann (1903-1957), the psychiatrist C.G. Jung (1875-1961), and the sufi love mystic Ibn ‘Arabî (1165-1240), and is presently working on a fourth book entitled Psychogenic Reality - The World by Imagination.

Dr. Gary Bruno Schmid was awarded his doctorate 1977 with a dissertation in quantum physics and received a diploma in depth psychology as Analytical Psychologist 1988 from the C.G. Jung-Institute in Küsnacht, Switzerland. He is an accredited supervisor, trainer and practitioner in medical hypnosis, recognized by the Swiss Medical Society of Hypnosis SMSH (www.smsh.ch) since the mid 1990's. In addition to his numerous professional publications in atomic physics, chaos theory and didactics of physics, he has also published many professionally refereed articles on the theory and therapy of psychosis and schizophrenia in leading physics, psychiatry and psychotherapy journals. Gary Bruno Schmid is fluent in both English and German.
