CHRISTOTHERAPY
Christotherapy is born of the author's personal struggles with
emotional issues, addiction and the needs each person experiences to
grow daily in ever richer dimensions of healing and ever higher
levels of integration. The author of Christotherapy is now also
dealing with multiple sclerosis. The methods of Christotherapy have
proved invaluable in dealing with this disease. The experience of
this disease has also opened the author to the whole world of the
physically as well as emotionally and spiritually challenged.
Christotherapy is the healing and life-giving power of the Word made
flesh. In the belief system of the author, there is the conviction
that the Spirit of God is at work everywhere in the world in all
human beings and that individuals of diverse belief systems are able
creatively to adapt in varying degrees the methods of Christotherapy
in ways congruent with their belief systems.
Christotherapy is not a Pollyanna or magical approach which promises
that all suffering will vanish from a person's life through the
utilization of certain methods. But the hope of Christotherapy is
that as we deal with our particular, person-specific sufferings we
will not continue to deal with the old problems in the old ways, but
that we will ascend in a Spirit-guided spiral of transcendence in
which we deal with old problems in new ways and become ever more
free in reference to whatever afflictions we experience.
What is at the very core of Christotherapy is an acknowledgment of
Christ as Healer and of the transformative work of the Holy Spirit
in all who are open to the inspirations of the Spirit. Whatever
blessing have come or come to individuals through the mediation of
Christotherapy are due not to the author of Christotherapy or his
books but to the Holy One from whom every good and perfect gift
proceeds in an abundance that surpasses all our hopes and dreams.
It is the prayer and hope of the author that the Divine Source of
all creation will pour out blessings in abundance on all who are
open to the healing grace and transformative inspirations of that
Divine Spirit, always more present to each of us in the depths of
our hearts and minds than we are to ourselves.
