LA JOLLA CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH CENTER
Many of us have been engaged in various forms of healing work or spiritual practices over the years, seeking some
form of growth or positive change in certain areas of our lives. We've read numerous books, tried different forms of
meditation and spiritual practices, used affirmations, gone to seminars and counseling, etc., seeking to become more
peaceful, loving, and successful human beings. But those of us who have truly made a sincere effort to rid ourselves
of undesirable personality traits or self-defeating behavior patterns have probably discovered how exceedingly
difficult this process is. Oftentimes, just when we believe we have changed and achieved some success, life sends us
some kind of test or challenge--perhaps in the form of a difficult person, a trying relationship, or some stressful
situation--in the face of which our unwanted personality traits, which we had hoped were long since conquered,
re-emerge and rear their ugly heads. We get discouraged with apparently how little progress we have made, and
wonder if perhaps our past efforts have been all for naught. This was my repeated experience throughout 34 years of
spiritual practice, trying to bring the light and peace that I obtained in states of meditation consistently into my daily
life.
Since 1990, however, under the powerful guidance and grace of an East Indian spiritual teacher by the name of
"Ammachi," an intensive period of training, trials, and efforts, resulted in the great fortune of my being able to learn
techniques to remove the deeper roots of our negative tendencies. These roots are not readily apparent. They are
hidden within the so-called “shadow" of the human personality, and they are maintained in unconsciousness due to
the fear and pain we have of confronting the parts of ourselves which we judge most harshly. By avoiding our fear
and pain, instead of allowing such feelings to pass through us, we form various psychic and bodily holding patterns
(actual wounds) which are sensitive to the pressures of any new experiences which remind us of our painful past.
Over a period of time, these wounds may cause tissue changes manifesting as tension and pain patterns in the body's
muscles, i.e., headaches, backaches, nerve conditions; they may affect internal organ physiology causing disease
conditions, e.g., asthma, ulcers, arthritis; and at times long standing emotional wounds may aggregate into entire
multi-system syndromes, e.g., chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic anxiety or depression. The more we
continue to avoid facing the dark-side of our nature, the more we accumulate pain in many sensitive trigger-areas
within us, and the more likely in life that situations or people will come along and "push" one of these sore and
reactive "buttons." We thus become easily robbed of our peace, health, and vitality--we feel victimized, wrongfully
pointing our fingers in blame at people or outside circumstances for our upsets, instead of looking within and
realizing that these external factors merely trigger hidden areas of pain already stored within us.
As a result of my years with my teacher, deeper intuitive abilities were opened within me, enabling me to help others
to see their internal wounds, to understand where they were rooted, and to release the emotional pain held within
them. After three years of continuously living and traveling with Ammachi in India and on her world tours, in 1996
she gave me her blessing to return to the U.S. and to practice this healing work in the West. For the lack of my
having encountered any similar technique resembling it, I have simply decided to name this work, "Depth Healing."
Depth Healing may be considered a methodology for removing the reactive emotional buttons or wounds responsible
for the pain, disease, and the many blocks that we face in reaching our goals in life. When these wounds are
addressed, in addition to emotional healing, more rapid physical healing usually follows... Back pain, neck pain,
tension patterns, fibromyalgia, shoulder, hip & orthopedic problems, as well as many other bodily conditions and
diseases with a psychological or stress component have been found to respond remarkably well. Perhaps if you have
been dealing with a chronic or difficult condition or issue, this facet of wholistic healing may be the key to your future
success!
