Dear Colleagues & Friends,

You havenıt heard from me lately through this group. That doesnıt mean Iıve
been sitting on my hands and watch the world turning around its axis. Here
in Switzerland, we have had an extremely inspiring time, a time that doesnıt
seem to be finished yet. We built a house, we found a fantastic new venue
for the institute just across the Rhine, and after years in Energy
Psychology I spend years in the development of Logosynthesis, a new,
revolutionary model for change in people.

As an introduction, I just published the book Logosynthesis ­ Change through
the Magic of Words. This explains the model as well as the application of
Logosynthesis in your own practice for guided change, with examples for
different types of issues. Annotated transcripts of actual sessions will
help you to understand the system in detail. You can order it through the
international website http://www.logosynthesis.net

If you feel inspired after reading the text below or ordering the book,
youıre happily invited to take part in a workshop:

We offer quite a programme in 2008: http://www.iasag.ch/index.php?id=244

We especially invite you for the five day intensive in Bad Ragaz,
Switzerland, July 7-11 of this year, with one day off.

To get a feel for the this 100 years old resort at the foot of the Alps, go

If youıre reading German, you can now order the second Logosynthesis book:
Worte wirken Wunder.

Warm regards,

Logosynthesis ­ Change through the Magic of Words

Logosynthesis is a remarkably elegant and efficient system for guided change
­ psychotherapy, coaching, and counseling. It can also be used as a
self-help tool. This new system contains elements from many models in the
field: energy psychology, transactional analysis, psychoanalysis,
self-psychology and hypnotherapy, in a new and effective combination. The
author first introduced the model in 2005, and since then it has been
continuously expanded.
As one of very few models, Logosynthesis also creates a unique space for the
spiritual dimension of guided change: it helps us understand personal growth
and development as a quality of our deepest human nature. As a method,
Logosynthesis applies the age-old power of the word as a new, amazing
healing tool, a starting point for surprisingly gentle healing of trauma,
addiction, fear and stress symptoms.

Logosynthesis is based on four axioms, which may sound familiar, but which
are new in their combination:
1. Suffering is primarily the result of reduced awareness of our
Essence, our core self, and of our creative tasks.
2. Dissociated parts and introjects prevent our being fully aware of
and living through our core self.
3. Dissociated parts and introjects are rigid energy structures
existing in 3-dimensional space, rather than abstract cognitive parts of
mind.
4. The power of the word itself dissolves these frozen structures and
allows the energy they were holding captive to be reclaimed into the Living
Self.

In contrast to other schools of energy psychology, Logosynthesis doesnıt use
visualization, light, touch, tapping or other kinds of mechanical
stimulation of the human energy system. Its method is completely based upon
the power of the word as a driving principle to focus intention and manifest
change. Simply saying specific words and sentences initiates a very
effective goal-directed process, which generates results comparable to those
other EP methods. The dynamics of the Logosynthesis process are known from
descriptions of the creation process in spiritual traditions, and theyıre
also associated with magic and mystery schools. The age-old incantation
³Abracadabra² supports this principle. Did you know itıs Aramaic and means
³I create while speaking?²
Logosynthesis teaches clear interventions in the form of specific sentences
offered to the client, embedded in a beautifully broad and deep view of
human nature. In the words of a client:
Itıs a deeply moving experience to feel the power of the word working in my
own being, to experience change so immediately. Time expands and slows down,
my flow of thoughts comes to a standstill. An inner space opens up, a space
for My Self.

Case example: Sarah, playing music
Sarah is a 30-year old business manager. She used to get anxious if she had
to play the piano in front of people. In one session, she resolved this
issue with the help of Logosynthesis, within a few minutes. The literal
transcript of this sequence follows here. The transcript starts after I
asked her to imagine the situation in which she experienced the fear:
Sarah: I watch myself playing the piano, going all tense.
The coach gives her a sentence: I retrieve all my energy that bound up in
this fear of playing the piano.
Sarah, after repeating the sentence, and being silent for a while: I become
a bit calmer.
The coach gives her a second sentence: I retrieve all my energy from the
person watching me play the piano, and take it back to myself.
Sarah, after repeating the sentence, and being silent for a while: I become
sad and cannot play anymore.
The coach gives her a third sentence: I remove all energy of the person
watching me play the piano ­ out of my personal space and send it into the
Light.
Then, after a long silence, Sarah says: Iım playing music, not notes!
