Case One -

We first saw “Ms T,” a woman in her early fifties, on the 21st December 2005 when she told us a story of consistent mishap and presented her symptoms. In this case it is useful to sketch the background as it offers an effective standard for comparison.

Earlier that year, around March, she had a car accident and suffered a fractured femur – this however healed completely within a matter of weeks without complications.

In April of that year, while at work, she unexpectedly was served with divorce papers. While scrutinizing

these with an obvious sense of shock, she slipped on a small carpet and fell down a flight of stairs, fracturing her right arm at the elbow. Despite expert medical care and treatment, resetting and a cast, the fracture refused to heal and when we first addressed this condition, almost eight months later, the elbow displayed looseness and an encapsulated, fluid-filled swelling somewhat larger than a tennis ball.

Psychodynamically, we can see an isomorphism, a subconscious analogising, between the slipping and falling, and the meaning and impact of the unexpected news – it was literally as if “the world slipped out from under her feet” and “the world came crashing down.”

Comparing the two fractures she suffered, the femur had healed quickly and without complications, even though it is a skeletal structure that is vastly more weight-bearing and at least as active as an elbow, whereas the arm refused healing, ratiometrically, for a duration in excess of eight times this period.

The question obviously arose, in absence of any clear mechanical or organic cause, why did the healing process not respond to all the medical care and her own declared efforts for all this time?

Upon bypassing the normal allopathically oriented symptomatic approach, and querying her about the associative background of the incident, we became aware of details of her previous relationship that had meaningful bearing on the case.

Simply, Ms T “did not want to let go” of her husband – she doted on him, held him precious, and could not bear the thought of living without him, nor could she accept the rejection she suffered. It became clear that reluctance to heal was far more of psychogenic origin than organic. Accordingly, we scheduled a first appointment for psychodynamic vectoring and energy healing, provisionally for an hour with her on the 23rd of December.

During this appointment I, (FV) carefully assessed Ms T’s personality and her receptivity to the physical analogising of traumatic experience, pointing out that such isomorphism can become neurologically embedded and act itself out with great effectiveness – in her case sending her the “physicalised message” that she refused healing and acceptance. She agreed with the concept in what clearly showed itself to be revelationary recognition, a lit-up face and clear ringing tones of affirmation. Her assessed receptiveness was crucial, as there are certainly personalities completely unreceptive and “immune” to such modelling of synergistic feedback between psyche and soma.

Going beyond the causally naive terms of "coincidence" and "accident" we can see not only the reluctance in healing as a physical analogising, but even more primary, can equate the slip and falling as a quite accurate model of a deeper process of consciousness. In the absence of an effective coping mechanism in the actively aware conscious mind to process the psychodynamic characteristics of the event, the shock, progressive emotional impact and trauma, reluctance (inability) in accepting, in fact unacceptability - these symptoms can easily shift into the behavioural and psychoneuroimmunological (PNI) domain of the individual. ^1*

Symptomatic shift does not only refer to the shift of one set of biophysiological symptoms to another different or overlapping set, typically possible in cases where a symptomatic, instead of a causal approach is used, but very often relates to the isomorphologising shift from the psychodynamic to its physicalisation. In PNI this is understood to be one of the most common causes of dis-ease.

The appointment lasted for approximately three hours, during which firstly, the psychodynamic process of physicalising isomorphism that had occurred was carefully brought to awareness and made as conscious as possible. Secondly, much time was spent on going into detail about the mechanism of fracture healing from an organic perspective, explaining the function of osteoblasts and osteocytes in osteoclasis and how this normally acts in fracture healing. Thirdly, she was taught that such organic processes, far from being purely “biological” and isolated from functions of consciousness, are not only modulated by subconscious processes as had up to now been the case, but can be effectively steered by conscious control.

A detailed example of such dynamics, with colour photographs and illustrations of the volitional conscious control in the case of neutrophil adherence factor, as in the experiments by Dr. Jeanne Acherberg, was given for her consideration. ^2*She was then carefully guided through the psychodynamic process of how to effect healing of her elbow herself in several half-hour sessions of her following days. Without going into extensive detail about the technique suggested, this basically amounted to meditation-like sessions of visualisation, the volitional control of her immune, vascular and metabolic systems, and a fundamental understanding of conscious energy-steering. Ms T left with evident motivation and enthusiasm, several times confirming her new understanding and commitment.

To be noted is that Ms T, in despair about the condition of her arm and on the advice of her well-known orthopaedic surgeon, had committed herself to an operation on the following Thursday during which stainless surgical pins would be inserted into the fractured bone-ends in an effort to finally stabilise them. She admitted being very reluctant about the procedure and didn’t like the idea of “having metal permanently inside me.” ^3*

Throughout this appointment, one which turned out to be only one necessary, I effected not only active psychodynamic vectoring but also, throughout, directed energy healing.

To our great surprise and delight, Ms T arrived only three days later, early the morning after Christmas Day and laughing aloud, approaching on foot and already explaining when she was barely within earshot, pulled up her sleeve and showed her elbow, turning it towards me. “Look, look!” she shouted, “It’s gone!” The elbow appeared quite normal and the enormous protruding ball that had deformed it was completely gone. She waved the arm around daringly, obviously painless, quite loudly shouting, “You’ve performed a miracle!” No “…” I smiled, as calmly as I could, addressing her by her first name, “You did it yourself, it was you who did it, believe me, no-one else could ultimately do it but you yourself!

She looked at me with a combination of amazement, wonder, and new confidence, "I worked on it every day exactly like you told me to, " she said. Effectively, she had enabled her physiological healing processes to follow the psychodynamic healing that resulted from resolving the hurt she had needed to hold on to for more than half a year. Not just this, but in vital combination with conscious modulation of her neuroimmunological (NIM) pathways and directed energy healing, she had begun to see how everything fitted together and all aspects of her makeup affected each other in a vastly bigger holistic picture. The contrast was startling, four days, versus eight months and what appeared to be unavoidable surgery.

Silently, I gave myself credit for having helped her to help herself.

Perhaps needless to say, she cancelled her hospital booking for the surgery which had been scheduled for the same week. Two weeks later she went on a mountain hiking trip with a group of friends that involved some challenging climbing, returning vitally re-energised, a new person with new initiatives and perspective on her future.

Case Two -

One of my (FV) earliest cases came about with unexpected impact in, of all improbable places, an aquarium. It was perhaps this case that began to remove a logical skepticism and ambiguous early doubt about my own healing abilities.

In the large tropical aquarium downstairs there was a mixed population of small and large fish, some M'sieur Pleco

flashing with radiant fluorescent colours, others expert at camouflage. Among them were two catfish of vastly different species and size. One of them was a Plecostomus, literally, a "folded mouth," an Amazonian catfish that could easily grow as large a thirty centimeters (~12 inches) and live in excess of forty years. Their aquarium-bound mission in life appeared to mainly consist of hanging about inside the glass walls with their rhythmically expanding mouths, like busy vacuum cleaners, eating the constantly re-growing thin layer of algae, cleaning, polishing and saving me a lot of work.

The other, a much smaller aquatic citizen, was a bristlecone catfish, as its name implies, adorned with sharp, spiny bristles on its head with which it could discourage others venturing too close or to defend itself. What I did not think of what that it could use this embellishment for almost fatal attack.

As I came down early one morning I beheld a disturbing sight: the two catfish lay almost motionless, the small amount of movement still observable only due to the Pleco still weakly breathing. How it managed this appeared an impressive example of a will to survive. The bristlecone was dead, its spiny head deeply locked into the gaping port (left) gill of the larger fish. Before this savage blow they had obviously fought viciously - the sight was shocking - so much flesh had been removed from this segment of Pleco's tail that vertebrae were visible, just barely covered by glistening membrane and thin shreds of already grey, dying flesh hanging off in strips and drifting in the currents of the circulation pumps.

The situation appeared hopeless. In order to work at the bottom of the aquarium you had to get up on a chair in a semi-undressed state to be able to reach in, immersing up to your shoulder. Gently as I could, I worked the lifeless bristlecone free, horrified at the damage to the Pleco's gill from which thin trickles of blood dissolved into the surrounding water. The bristlecone was committed to an ignominious end via the domestic plumbing system. My thought was that Pleco looked like battered wreckage and that it was just a matter of time. The fish was clearly beyond conventional medical help - the battered gill, dreadfully shredded tail, slashed caudal fin plus one less-damaged pectoral fin bode ill for his future and presented a grave prognosis. He blinked, slowly, in the manner of Plecos, and I could easily imagine that he looked straight at me, which he could have been doing, saying the equivalent of "Do something!"

I sat down on the chair in front of the aquarium, the soft breathing sounds of the air-pumps much louder than usual, and began to "work" on him. The work, this much time ago, was energy-sapping, involving the greater part of consciousness, enormously focussed, detaching from self, entraining and channeling energies only small bits of which seemed available. An hour later my first "session" was over, victim still alive but not looking any better, nor, thank heaven, worse.

I worked on Pleco for the next three weeks for at least an hour per day. Normally he would hide under an overhang of rock in the back shadows of the aquarium during this time, then would somehow become aware of my presence and slide into view. I knew from past experience that he was very sensitive to acoustic and mechanical vibration and could detect my approach. If he missed that, a few taps on the glass would bring him around. He would then glide down, settling slowly like a big mottled submarine, perching on a flat front ledge of the same rock, close to the glass.

Although I had to, I could hardly believe what I was witnessing - during this time, slowly but surely, flesh grew back over the bare tailbone and this even became covered with thin silvery scales, although not quite as densely packed as elsewhere, smaller and more widely distributed. This tail-section remained anorexic-looking for quite a long while but completely recovered its normal girth later. The gill remained dysfunctional and I feared he would have to live with it, but it recovered over the next two months to become almost fully functional again, although slight scarring remained visible ever afterwards.

It seemed, and indeed was, a miracle, no less - friends admiring Pleco later thought I was telling tall tales and would look at me with some disbelief. It seemed impossible that an animal so damaged could heal so completely, no less because of the environment it lived in, famous for opportunistic bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections which it somehow had the immunity to resist. ^4* Pleco lived with us for many years afterwards, recommencing the grateful task of happy vacuum-cleaning as he skimmed past the glassy walls, and stopping now and then to look through them. I swore that he could see details of the other world out there and wondered why he could not enter it too.

Later, as I understood more and began to work with directed energy healing more confidently, I always remained grateful for this early opportunity, and to Pleco, without whom, undoubtedly, I would not have managed to achieve what I did that time.

Case Three -

My first introduction with kinesiology was with Laika in January 2007. I was in a state of despair and was desperate for something to help so that I could see a light at the end of my tunnel of helplessness, tiredness and depression.

I suffered with bouts of tiredness, with no energy and depression all my life, but the 2nd half of 2006 was the worst. In a period of 6 weeks I lost a very special brother to cancer, another brother was diagnosed with cancer and my fun loving, playful, happy white Poodle had to be put down when she was too young to depart from us. I was also diagnosed with cancer 3 years ago and I realize that I needed some help desperately to change my current state of mind if I wanted to survive, as I realized that emotions could play a big role in a person’s well being.

After my operation the dreaded hot flashes re-appeared and ruled my sleeping pattern, (I can sleep through a thunderstorm but not through a hot flush) and I also started having very sore and swollen joints on my hands. Previous to this, I had a hysterectomy and a thyroid removal.

If I had any doubt about the theory of Kinesiology I changed my mind within the first few minutes when Laika made me aware of emotions and feelings I was not even aware of. I was surprised how many of my unspoken fears and emotions were picked up during the therapy. It finally started making sense why I had my illnesses. But still better was that I started being aware of my bad habits in the form of my negative self-talk. Now I know that I can replace it by using positive affirmations. I can report that after my four Kinesiology sessions, my energy level is now much better and I am more positive and enthusiastic. The pain in my shoulder is gone. I am sleeping better and I find it much easier to be more friendly.

I am so very grateful that within a month I changed from a grumpy 63-year-old retired lady to a more energetic and positive 63-year-young lady.

I still need to do some more work to clear the root of my feelings of anger, rejection, and that the sense that I am not good enough which I carried with me from childhood. I am going to continue my therapy with Laika.

Case Four -

I went to see Laika for help with chronic back pain which I have lived with for many years since a car accident.

Laika was very sensitive and helpful and through the sessions I have not only been brought relief from pain and stiffness, but also a lot of insight about my body and mind. I am feeling much less pain, but also have a different relationship to the pain, and now see it as a message from my body that there is something that I may need to be thinking about.

Laika is kind and gentle, and I would certainly recommend her kinesiology – I already have!

Case Five -

I was diagnosed with glandular fever 3 years ago and have since then been on a roller coaster ride of hope and despair searching for a practitioner who could help me to restore some degree of consistency to my well being.

When I began my sessions of Kinesiology with Laika 2 months ago I was at that time consumed with rage, despondency and frustration in both my professional and personal life. What I have enjoyed most about Kinesiology is that all levels of functioning are effectively examined giving a more holistic perspective of one’s physical, mental and emotional position.

I have taken a positive step forward in tackling this chronic condition that I live with and feel empowered in reclaiming my health.

Case Six -

I went to see Laika because I constantly worried, I felt drained and tired and I was often emotional, crying and upset.

After the first session, I had lower back pain and I felt very sleepy, tired and emotionally drained. The next days I was having memories from my childhood which were not pleasant and hurt me to think about and…. I was in 2 minds about having additional Kinesiology. Would Kinesiology really be able to help me overcome these hurtful memories? I was thirsty all the time and only felt like water. (Very unusual for me!). I was dreaming a lot at night - disturbing and busy dreams. I slept for many hours more than usual but still seemed tired. I just felt like I needed to be alone right then.

I made my next appointment for the 2nd session – I decided: “lets see how it goes”.

After my second Kinesiology session I felt very elevated. My spirits were up and I was positive that things were going to get much better. (This was very different from last time!) I was full of new ideas and my mind was working overtime to process all the creative thoughts I was having. For the next few days I was feeling excited and uplifted. Sometimes I hardly slept at night – I was having so many ideas and was also dreaming a lot.

Suddenly I realized that I was the only person who could help myself. I kept having thoughts about my past and kept brushing them off – I needed to look forward. I made a list of all that needed to be done. I was feeling physically great. It's strange to say but I felt like all the things that had been holding me back were disappearing. They didn’t seem so overwhelming now and I knew they would get sorted out.

After my third session I felt physically good but mentally I had a lot of "baggage" to sort through. Strangely enough, the person I had the most "baggage" with came to visit me this day. I had a good chat with him and we seem to have a new understanding. I knew I needed to make myself happy and his feelings and actions had nothing to do with me.

The next day I lost my temper and got really angry – but in that anger I saw what one of the problems that's bugging me is: I wanted to be in control all the time, and I knew that this was not possible. This made me feel vulnerable and fearful, and the more this awareness struck me, the more angry I got. I didn’t have enough faith in myself to trust my own decisions and I was constantly relying on others to reassure me.

After that angry outburst, I seemed to have let go of a lot of pent-up frustrations. I made a conscious decision that from today onwards I am the only person who can make myself happy. I need to remind myself of this whenever things seem to be overwhelming. I can't control everything, but I can control myself.

After the fourth session my head was full of thoughts on the "homework" I needed to do. Now it seemed as if I had a greater understanding of things in my life. I still had days where I felt like nothing was working out for me but I tried to remind myself that these thoughts were negative and of no use to me.

Now I feel like things are slowly falling into place. I have faith that the Universe will listen to me and I have definitely seen an improvement in my life. Obviously there's still a lot of work I need to do (i.e. to Think Positive and keep reminding myself of my goals) but I have seen many things I wanted coming to me… I have much more appreciation for the everyday happenings in my life - I spend more of my time meditating and this really gives me an inner peace..... I seem to be feeling an inner calm (a wonderful feeling!)

There are also some new people that have come into my life that inspire me, as well as some old contacts which I have re-connected with.

All of these things I would never have thought possible a few weeks ago, and with these things in order I know I am going to be a lot happier within myself, this gives me the hope that things can just get better when I work on the solution and not worry just about the problem.

Testimonials

"When it comes to massage techniques I find Laika superb..... apart from her in depth training, she intuitively understands my needs, selects the appropriate oils and for an hour or more I relax and regenerate body, mind and spirit. She not only has mastered many techniques, but is able to transfer her own positive energy to clients in a way that transcends physicality."

"I have attended a whole course of Frank's lectures and it has empowered my thinking, shifted paradigms on several levels and changed the way I live for the better. Frank has the ability to articulate his thoughts with the creativity of an artist and analyse the nature of our being with the skill of an accomplished and caring surgeon. I must give credit where it's due. Besides these abilities he brings a love and compassion to his lectures that is simply inspirational."

"Having met with Sheldrake and discussed morphogenetic fields, having met with Saral Bohm, David Bohm's widow, and discussed his work with her, having studied Lamarkian vs. Darwinian theories, having discussed evolution and creation from the Biblical perspective with Gerald Schröder, author of Genesis and the Big Bang, having written and presented philosophical papers on complexity and emergence, and having pondered the question of phenomenology vs gnoseology, fixed vs flux, I can say that this (article) is a piece of work from a fine mind.

3* This must on no condition or circumstance be understood to advise against surgical procedure and must not be so interpreted. In the spectrum of personalities with its almost infinite permutations of psycho-emotional variables, there are many who are, as mentioned, not receptive and quite immune to the understanding of psychodynamic control over their own organic constitution and its processes. In such cases, where this is an option, mechanical intervention is not just more indicated from a therapeutic perspective, but is the only one that the individual can "understand." In such cases psychodynamic vectoring, and in its form of guided autotherapy, is bound to proceed with difficulty, if not being impossible.
