Shocks and Traumas

Life energy has a memory of the shocks and traumas that each individual experiences from birth. These shocks and traumas act as blockages to life energy, thereby interfering with the body’s natural healing processes. They may be physical (viruses, accidents, vaccinations, medications, recreational drugs, etc.) or they may come from emotional losses such as death and relationship break-ups. Events that cause fear (a child being yelled at or hit by a parent, harassment at school, being mugged, losing a job, etc.) are also experienced as traumas.

Heilkunst therapists lead the patient through a sequential set of treatments that remove the blockages and allow the inner healer, life energy, to flow smoothly. The therapy begins with the most recent of negative events, creating a more gentle treatment process as the fresher the injury, whether physical or emotional, the more responsive it is to treatment. As each event is untangled and the energy flows, it becomes easier to move backwards in time, until the earliest (and often most traumatic) blockages are reached.

Linda Lou McQuinn, DMH, EFT (Pract,), NLP (Pract.), uses EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) in combination with Heilkunst therapies to help patients work through the emotional traumas that create ongoing difficulty in their daily lives. Many patients are happy to discover that this work often also results in unexpected benefits such as relief from chronic pain or chronic fatigue, along with a reduction in reliance on medications.
