For more than 40 years, in lectures, seminars, week-long adventure retreats, my many books in particular, and lately, also via social media,

I have had the opportunity to spread my thoughts about the principles that make up our life and thus also our health.

"My medicine" is psychosomatic in nature. By that I mean that it includes both the soul and the body – in that order. Additionally, it is holistic, with a complementary focus, or to put it another way – it aims to fill in the missing pieces. This is because I am convinced that "healing" in the original sense of the word means "becoming whole", and that, in keeping with this, holistic medicine naturally also includes conventional medicine.

It is my goal to view the whole human being - within the polarity of his or her shadow aspects and virtues. Even if we do not really want to take a closer look at the former and prefer to only see our good sides, the effect of the former still unfolds within us. At the same time, our shadow is actually our own personal treasure chest, because all of our problems and symptoms stem from it. The treasures contained in this chest need to be unearthed and integrated into life in an honest way. And by taking an honest, open view of this opposite pole, the whole of life, the whole person, becomes visible and recognizable.

Im Ansatz der "Integralen Medizin" finden sich beide Aspekte. Sie umfasst Kultur und Natur, von den Mythen und Märchen bis zu den Heilmitteln von Mutter Natur. Beider Gaben und die Geschenke der Yin- und Yang-Seite des Lebens, der vier Elemente und 12 Lebensprinzipien machen das ganze Leben aus. „Integrale Medizin“ verlangt die Öffnung des Herzens und des Hirns für alles, wirklich alles, was mit uns selbst und um uns geschieht. Dabei spielt sich das Leben nicht in schwarz oder weiß ab, sondern zwischen den Polen, in allen Farben, Möglichkeiten und Chancen.

 

Ziel ist ein erfülltes Leben in Wachstum und Entwicklung, in dem wir unsere Begabungen entdecken und darin die Gaben, die wir gern geben zur Entfaltung unseres vollen Potentials und zum Segen des Ganzen.
