The META-Health model

META-Health is a systematic, open-minded and constructive approach to understanding mental and physical health and disease and to foster resilience. It aims to establish generic, bio-logical principles of functioning in organisms, as well as adaptations and translations in different groups and societies.

Its methodology consists of:

META-Analytics: collecting information relevant for assessing the background and development of sensitivities and non-resilient states in individuals and in ecosystems.

META-Awareness: consequences of understanding and analytics on the level of (self-)responsibility, acceptance and potential.

META-Coaching: helping other persons towards META-Awareness, self-regulation, healing and resilience

META-Therapy: use of effective methods based on META-Analytics for

  • Emotional processing of trauma and significant experiences
  • Cognitive processing and transformation of stress (reframing)
  • Pain management and release
  • Self-regulation
  • Orientation towards health and resilience (vision, confidence)
  • Motivation and perseverance
  • Support of sustainability of aim and results on physical, mental and social systemic levels

Effective methods use navigation of cerebral and neurological functions and states, energy distribution and modulation of hormones, by conscious and unconscious means.
