Evaluation of Buddha's Vipassana meditation as a tool for healing of physical diseases, mental disorders, and personality disturbances in the evidence-based holistic medical clinic.

2500 years ago, Buddha gave us Vipassana meditation, a simple yet brilliant and highly effective method for merging consciousness (the tradition of Advaita Vedanta) with the life force (the tradition of Kundalini yoga). The life force is the sexual energy that carries the biological information to the body's cells and organs, including the human brain. Vipassana is a method that sends awareness into the human beings subtler bodies, or existential layers: The body's informational layer, the emotional layer, the perceptual layer, the mental layer, and the spiritual layer. By allowing the human being a direct insight into the finer structures of the human existence (the structured energy or finer matter), the emotional part of the conditioning is freed from the unconscious, informational layer, and the conditioning is thus broken. The process has been successfully used as medicine in Asia for two millennia. It sets the human being free as pure consciousness charged with divine, sexual energy: the awakened or enlightened state. Buddha said that Vipassana is the most direct path to enlightenment. Its traditional use in Buddhist medicine is to heal physical diseases, mental disorders and existential problems. We have tested the method's use in the modern holistic medical clinic, and conclude that the method is highly effective both for the development of self-knowledge, happiness and wellbeing, and for healing of physical and mental health conditions. The instruction can be given in a few hours, but patients need systematic care and support daily during a period of intensive Vipassana practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
