WHAT IS SEQUENTIAL THERAPY?
Sequential Therapy, Sequential Homeopathy or Sequential
Treatment, is a therapeutic approach, which removes the traces of past physical
and emotional trauma through the application of homeopathic or energy remedies
given in a particular sequence and at a specific time. To decide which past
traumas require treatment, a timeline of life events is created for each
person. The significant traumas are then addressed in reverse order, e.g.
starting with the most recent ones and working backwards in time all the way to
birth.
The Discovery
200 years ago Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755 – 1843), the
founder of Homeopathy, first identified the natural laws on which this
treatment sequence is based. He separated diseases into two types – primary and
secondary. Primary diseases are specific, always appear in the same way and are
easily identifiable through their cause. Secondary diseases appear as a result
of a primary disease. Hahnemann advised treating the primary disease first, as
this ensured that all secondary diseases related to it would disappear as a
result.
In addition to this incredible discovery related to disease
types, Dr. Hahnemann also discovered that most chronic disease stems from
hereditary flaws and that these hereditary diseases, called miasms, can also be
removed by using homeopathic remedies in a particular order that follows the
natural laws of healing.
And Another Major
Discovery …
Dr. Jean F. Elmiger, a Swiss medical doctor, further
developed the treatment of past trauma. He first coined the term “sequential
therapy” in the 1970’s, although he now calls his system “sequential
homeopathy”. He discovered that most people suffer significant shocks to their
system at birth and shortly thereafter, triggering their hereditary pre-disposition
to disease and setting them up for further complications.
It was also Dr. Elmiger who outlined the method of
sequential treatment. He would treat the most recent shock first and then
proceed backwards in time all the way back to birth. This is also the proper
order for total removal of hereditary diseases. He also identified many
homeopathic remedies for medically induced disease so prevalent in our modern
times and unknown in the past.
His major work, “Re-Discovering Real Medicine” is an easy to
read and very informative presentation of all the benefits of Sequential
Therapy and I highly recommend it.
Heilkunst—Taking
Sequential Therapy Even Further
Rudi Verspoor, Patty Smith and Steven Decker further
enriched the work of Dr. Elmiger by including it into the broader system of
medicine known as “Heilkunst”. To the treatment of physical shocks to the
system, they added the treatment of emotional trauma. As we know, psychological
stress and unresolved mental and emotional traumas can change the way we see
the world and ourselves in it. As we cancel the effects of past emotional
shocks and memories, we heal our of old wounds and misconceptions that hold us
hostage today.
Steven Decker and Rudi Verspoor developed Heilkunst in North
America in the 1990’s. Sequential Therapy offered a brilliant solution for the
efficient and quick removal of blockages in their energetic body. With the
added support of detoxification, emotional support and symptom management,
Sequential Therapy provides a deep resolution of psychological issues, without
the endless psychotherapy and lengthy process of self-evaluation that usually
does not resolve the deeper feelings anyway.
Old traumas
contribute to present-day problems
Shocks or traumas to our system leave visible and invisible
traces, most of which go unnoticed. Many injuries, of course, heal naturally or
by being addressed effectively in real time. But some traumas remain
unresolved, leaving either a material or an invisible trace. Their impact on
our energy body is not detected by our senses.
For the most part present-day maladies are rarely perceived
as manifestations of an already existing old problem. If left unaddressed, they
continue to cause further complications as we go through life. Future shocks just
pile up on top of the previous ones, each weakening our immune system further.
One way of identifying such impacts on our body is by
remembering and listing all known incidents that caused us pain and suffering
and all those that are known toxic or traumatic impacts on our body. This is
called a timeline of events. Creating one is in itself therapeutic as we
finally can see the patterns in our lives clearly while at the same time
connecting to our deeper emotional issues to which we may have been oblivious.
Subtle impacts to our energy body can also be detected by
special methods such as kinesiology, pulse testing or by the recently developed
bio-resonance systems. Bio-resonance is by far the most advanced and precise of
them all as it is the most objective and precise. The Inergetix-CoRe is the
most scientific of all available systems today. This is why we use it at our
clinic.
Are all life events
equally traumatic?
Most events in our lives are promptly resolved as they
happen and leave no permanent consequences. The ones that leave their mark
usually remain unresolved due to a lack of strength in the body to restore
health or due to immaturity of the psyche to deal adequately with an emotional
crisis.
Life traumas do not happen simultaneously but are separated
by time and space. Each additional significant event is superimposed over the
last one, as it in turn, will be covered by the next. In such a way, a thread
weaves through them all creating the timeline pattern particular to each
individual person.
The Earliest Traumas
Have The Most Impact
Significant shocks to our system begin at birth, which is a
traumatic process in itself. The early childhood comes with the unavoidable
vaccinations, medications and the drama of separation and home conflicts. Here
are some typical early shocks in life:
·
Birth trauma due to artificial and detrimental
birthing procedures
·
Vaccinations at a time when the immune system is
immature and defenseless
·
Suppressive medical drugs and treatments like
surgery or antibiotics
·
Great variety of emotional shocks (loss, fright,
feelings of blame and guilt), which remain unresolved and leave a permanent
character deviation in their wake
In addition to the well known and documented problems with
toxicity, poor nutrition, organ malfunctioning due to dangerous procedures done
to children, there is another aspect to early childhood trauma of even greater
concern. And that is the normal
development of the child.
Traumatic events can also arrest the psychological
development of the person. We all know adults who behave childishly or in an
immature way, at least in some aspect of their life. Many times when a child is
traumatized and cannot find a solution to a painful situation, mental
development is also arrested in a particular way.
Not only that, but proper physical or functional development
can also take some compensatory detours, leaving us under-developed in some
areas or too reactive and sensitive in others. If for no other reason, but the
blockage to proper maturation, caused by a physical or emotional shock to the
system that was not overcome.
It is generally perceived in holistic science, that if a
childhood trauma is not resolved by the age of 23-25, the person generally does
not mature beyond the age at which the injury was inflicted and in some ways
their life views and related behaviors will show it.
Other shocks and
traumas to the system
There are many different types of impacts that can affect us
deeply enough to require help and treatment. Most physical traumas can be
listed, although they are as many as the injuries and poisonings we go through
in life.
Emotional trauma is also varied. There may be just a handful
of basic emotions that we all go through, but the variations of inner pain and
interpretations of a painful situation are as many as the people who suffer. It
is important to ascertain not only if one suffered a major trauma, but also to
make sure that we don’t miss a strong reaction the person experienced, even
when the event seems quite insignificant.
In Sequential Therapy we have a detailed map of what to look
for, but equally important it to watch for the way the person has experienced
his or her life. Many times what is shattering to one person can go totally
unnoticed by another. In that sense, the feeling
of the person is as important at the event and both are treated with remedies.
Heredity
Hereditary diseases known as miasms also weaken the body.
Introduced at birth, they continue to grow throughout our lifetime if left
unresolved. They are the root cause of most chronic conditions and core
beliefs. Clearing the miasms opens the way for the full resolution of chronic
disease.
These hereditary influences are also cleared in a particular
order, following the natural Law of Succession of Forces, a term coined by Dr.
Elmiger. He observed that certain diseases are most active during specific
seasons and that treating them at that time produced the best results.
How Does Sequential Therapy Work?
Essentially Sequential Therapy works on the principle that
taking a specific remedy resonant with an identified physical or
mental-emotional shock, will effectively cancel it out, even in the case of
events long forgotten.
Soon after the remedy is ingested, the original disease is
neutralized. Not long after that the effects of the remedy also dissipate and
we are left clear of disease. The body restores itself by resuming proper
functions and rebuilding damaged tissue.
In order to remove all known residue of past trauma, a
timeline of events is created for each person. All known events are listed in
the order in which they happened, from birth to the present day. Each event is
evaluated and a remedy is matched to the nature of the trauma experienced by
the person. For example, if a person had a tooth pulled and they were in a lot
of fear, we will select remedies not just for the physical trauma of the
extraction and anesthetic, but also for the emotion of fear.
We start with the
clearing of the most recent event and we work backwards in reverse order.
We work our way back to early childhood and birth, which is when the most
important events occurred. These childhood traumas can be fully neutralized
only after all other traumas that were stacked on top of them are released.
With the body’s focus fully engaged now on the remaining early life trauma, it
is not hard to release and transform it into an optimal state of health.
Each Sequential Therapy clearing takes about 2-3 weeks for
full release of the effects of the past shock and for the body to restore
itself. Thus, the number of events considered significant in each person’s
timeline will determine the length of a full treatment program.
Once an event is neutralized it no longer holds an emotional
charge. We then feel better because we no longer suffer from our system’s
constant struggle to rid itself of the problem. Any memories at this point are
quite objective. No emotional drama remains. We also heal any physical symptoms
associated with the event
While Sequential Therapy is exceptionally effective, it is not
a stand-alone therapy, but works best in an all-inclusive approach that
includes nutrition, lifestyle changes and symptom support. The benefits of
Sequential Therapy are more permanent when we can see how trauma has affected
us and how all of our experiences, the bad and the good, fit into our lives and
who we are today.
Sequential Therapy
enhances the results of other therapies
It is unfortunate that Sequential Therapy is not being used
more widely. Past trauma causes
blockages in the healing capacity of the organism. Their timely correction
speeds up the healing effect of any therapy. It is a powerful catalyst for re-patterning of old beliefs
and the conditioning caused by old traumatic experiences.
How Does Real Medicine Use Sequential Therapy?
At Real Medicine, Sequential Therapy forms the backbone of
our therapeutic work, weaving itself throughout the entire process. It gives us
the ability to effectively remove serious blockages to healing that otherwise
impede you from fully experiencing the benefits of healing and energy work.
We view Sequential Therapy as a process of transformation
and not one of just removing negativity from our energy field. Each event in
our life can be the catalyst for the unfolding of our inner potential.
Traumatic events are those that are engraved in our memory
through their significance and long-term effects. Significant life events mark
a divide between life as it was and the possibility of achieving a new and
higher level of being. They are an opening for growth and learning. As such,
they are loaded with meaning.
A life shock can cause us to change our plans abruptly, stop
doing things harmful to us, or begin a process of discovery that will move us
further ahead than we would have otherwise gone if left alone.
Of course, we can only see it all with hindsight in one of
those rare “Aha!” moments we all have when we realize how the loss of our job
helped us find a new profession, how an injured back allowed us to stay home
and enjoy our family and so on.
Yet, for most of us, a life trauma is just that – a moment
in time when our old life changed and in came pain and trouble. Most of us
cannot get past that stage of resistance and victimization that marks our life
map when each new “catastrophe” befalls us.
Sequential Treatment, for us at Real Medicine, is the
opportunity to go back in time and re-visit those times we consider negative
and hurtful. It is an opportunity to release the negative and in the light of a
newly acquired objectivity, to re-evaluate the event.
From the perspective of your present life experience and
wisdom, you will see the meaning of an event marking the path of your destiny.
Seeing the full picture and being able to see the actions of others
differently, allows us to transform how we feel about our self and our life.
Today, we are most attracted to intellectual explanations of
reality, of psychological theories and interpretations of our feelings and
experiences. But the truth is that change happens only when intent and desire
are grounded in concrete action.
Our life traumas are all meaningful events that mark the
instances in which the universe has intervened in our life, forcing us to act
or react, depending on our perspective, in order to start creating a new life
for ourselves.
Sequential Therapy is an opportunity to do so consciously –
to understand the significance of our shocks and traumas in the context of our
character, life passions and gifts.
During your sessions we discuss your life events in detail,
we help you see the effects of releasing the negative and we help you fit the
newly acquired insight into the larger pattern of the meaning of your life.
Healthy and vibrant individuals thrive in adversity, fully
cognizant that life challenges are our only real opportunity for significant
change. After the initial irritation of being interrupted from life’s slumber,
such healthy individuals embrace change and pay attention to where this change
is leading them. Instead of viewing these events as handicaps that come at the
wrong time, they use the events to take positive action and achieve their
objectives.
It is our mission to help you achieve a level of health and
fearlessness that will allow you to be the chief navigator of your life; to be
optimistic and self reliant, in an interdependent relationship with others to
create a more peaceful world.
