Of course, meditation is possible, moreover helpful and recommendable. The same applies to relaxation exercises of all kinds. But it depends on the objective. Many people use meditation/relaxation methods to get unpleasant feelings and thoughts under their control. This is because they are seen as pointless and their actual purpose is not recognised. To...
An interesting written question to me, which I publish here. Relaxation exercises do not help in coping with mental disorders because ... Relaxation exercises, as they are generally understood and practised, usually look like this: The person tries to relax with some guided relaxation technique or a fantasy journey / meditation. He succeeds...
This question, like all the others, was also put to me in writing. It too concerns the overarching theme of "soul processing". The principle of soul processing The soul processes ("digests") slights, losses, injuries, shocks, traumas, i.e. everything that more or less puts us out of our inner balance by letting us "chew on it"....
Do we also have to process beautiful experiences? Not only negative things are processed through contact with the subject. If positive experiences put us in an inner disorder, they are also processed according to the same principles: Winning millions keeps us awake for a while, we have to think about it all the time and feel an increased need to communicate. Or...
What is the real problem If one as a practitioner has not understood a mental disorder, then this disorder is of course "difficult" to treat from the perspective of this practitioner. But this is not because of the disorder, it is because of the practitioner. This is not only true for schizophrenia, but also for example for...
Continuation of Part 1: "Why is schizophrenia so difficult to treat?" Conventional / industrial agriculture largely disregards the needs of nature and the deeper laws of nature. It relentlessly pursues its own goals (usually profit maximisation). If nature gets out of balance and becomes ill (through parasites, pathogens,...), it can be treated.
If a mental disorder has developed, the person affected can of course do something himself to resolve it. More on this at the end of the article. More important would first be to clarify whether a persistent mental disorder can be actively prevented. That is also possible. But first we have to understand what...
A state of mind to which we have given the name "depression" is accompanied by some symptoms. One of the symptoms is drive disorder. The manifestation of drive disorder ranges from rather mild difficulties in getting up to do activities to complete listlessness, where the person does not get out of bed. It is not as if...
A written question that was addressed to me. In order not to go beyond the scope, I will only briefly mention the most significant points. I will not go into spiritual aspects of silence. How can silence be established? By doing nothing. "Nothing" in this context also means listening to soothing music, relaxation procedures, guided meditations,...
Once the natural inner order has been established, man begins to draw further benefit from his silent phases of pause. In silence he comes into closest contact with himself. Through this he gets to know himself. Example: Trust in another person can only grow if we know the other...
This question was put to me in writing. Here the answer: Sadness is mourning A sadness or mourning is by its nature a mental processing process. The question is what exactly is being mourned. If it can be named, sadness should be allowed and not avoided. Possible triggers of sadness / mourning feelings...
Definitely yes! The soul has a general healing automatism in the repertoire which heals also the most severe injuries! The soul does it by itself, the concerned person has only to allow the healing activities of the soul. That has to be his only contribution. And exactly at this point the affected persons and also the therapists...
Again and again I meet grieving people who have not overcome and processed the loss of a loved one even after many years. When asked, they always state that they consistently avoid contact with the painful feelings or only allow them to a certain extent. They go to the grave only to water flowers....
The water heats up slowly and boils suddenly (from Zen Buddhism) Always panic attacks indicate that the person is under a lot of internal pressure / stress (a limitation comes at the end of the text). Either it is a stressful phase of life (stress at work or sudden private problems) or it is the own life,...
This is an interesting question! It has been put to me in writing and I answer it here to reach more people with it. First of all: I take the question in the sense: "Which mental pain / suffering would you like to give away / abolish / prevent?" Answer to that: none! (A restriction of this...
Can every person develop self-love? Even someone who was treated badly and constantly devalued by his parents as a child, and as a result later developed a drug addiction? If so, how? This has also been a written question. Here is the answer: Certainly everyone can develop love for himself. But before that, the...
A search on the Internet leads the suffering person to the same and same recommendations on how to get the activities of his mind under his control. The explanations of this mysterious phenomenon all sound logical, the recommendations derived from them partly too. It's just a pity that they don't work. What is even worse, the meaning and purpose of brooding is completely ignored out of ignorance.
Was hilft gegen Grübeln? Gegen das Verarbeitungsgrübeln hilft... Grübeln! Das klingt paradox, ist aber im Sinne der Natur. Warum? Während des Grübelns ist der Mensch im Kontakt mit seinem Verarbeitungsthema. Was bringt uns noch in den Kontakt mit dem Thema? Das Sprechen über das Erlebte. "Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid", sagt der…
In Part 1, I explained that rumination is a natural process within the processing of mental content. Therefore, everything that has brought us out of balance must be chewed over internally. The soul is a ruminant! It forces thoughts on us, makes us chew around until the subject is short and small and until it has lost its sharpness. It is clear that especially the painful experiences are not "tasty" for us. Who likes to think back to a big disappointment, an injury or a bitter loss? Who likes to lie awake at night because their head won't let them rest.
How can you recognise avoidance rumination? You can recognise whether brooding is avoidance brooding by the following characteristics: The first characteristic is the intensity with which the ruminator deals with his topics. The other important point concerns the range of topics around which the thoughts revolve. In one-on-one conversations, it is usually very...
