Revolutionary! June Commentary and Links June 2026 Dear friends, colleagues and supporters, In the early spring of 2015 as I began developing my lectures on balance and resonance, it was pretty clear that it would take a paradigm shift in perception for the methods and procedures that are so well known to us as energy medicine practitioners to become part of standard medical practice. That shift from chemistry to physics, or from defeating a symptom allopathically to balancing the energetic household seemed far too esoteric – or perhaps too

Rethinking the Heart: Resonance Medicine As A Bridge Between Evidence And Experience Part 2: Psychological, Social, Cultural and Transversal Resonance Summary In the concept of resonance medicine, the heart is not only understood as a physiological organ, but also as a central resonance organ for emotional, social, cultural and spiritual processes.

What’s New for May 2026? 18 May 2026 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, It has been a busy few months since I last had the opportunity to setup a commentary or forward some of the interesting current links from the English-language journals and research.

In Memoriam Peter Mandel 1941 - 2026 We say goodbye to Peter Mandel, an extraordinary person who shaped naturopathy for decades: Born in Breslau in 1941, his path led him early into the healing professions: in 1959 he began his training as a nurse, followed by qualifications as a medical lifeguard, chiropractor, acupuncturist and reflexology therapist.
