"According to GNM, physical symptoms are the end product of what starts in our beliefs . . ." This is essentially a restatement of the placebo and nocebo effects. Belief is very powerful.
"The symptoms are the body’s attempt both to adapt to the conflict and alert us to unresolved issues—all of it is happening for us.
"What we do with those messages from our body is up to us. Our beliefs sustain or resolve the conflict, . . ."
I recently heard James Roguski saying how pathogens are actually messengers. (No mention of German New Medicine, but this view is very much aligned with GNM.) He also said that during the covid disaster, the people who suffered the most were those people who were most resistant to receiving new information, consciously or otherwise it would seem. It has been my observation that those most locked into combative positions are those who are stuck in 30-year old political paradigms, unable to see how all of that is passing away.
Everything else in this piece I found very insightful and consistent with promoting good health, physical and spiritual. Excellent work!
Thanks Dan! I would agree that what James is saying sounds a lot like the general premise of GNM (and that those in the greatest resistance/control often have the most health issues. I'm a newbie to GNM but I think more informed practitioners of it would highlight the real biological programs that initiate as a result of the "conflict shock." The mind-body connection is shared and key but more than just placebo effect.
GNM has just been a buzz word I've come across in healing circles. Thanks for the great explanation of what it is, and how it has served you. I've come to a place where I now think almost every alternative healing modality is wonderful. Whether it's reiki, herbology, or massage. All of these things are the tools in the tool bag. Each of us is guided to the right one, at the right time, for whatever reason. I don't think all answers are within one modality. Some carry a greater capacity to heal than others, perhaps. But all serve. I'm just glad we have to many things to choose from amidst the horrors that (most) allopathic medicine creates.
I totally agree on the personal and intuitive nature of it and being glad at the expanding range of options. What is supportive to one person at one time, might differ with others or that same individual. I see this in my light therapy. Some people respond very positively and for others, it's kind of a "meh." I think of GNM as more of a framework for how to think about health, which allows for a range of support modalities. I'm learning to better listen to what my body needs, whether that is a certain food, no food, movement, sound immersion, massage, etc. Like that saying, "whatever works" and whatever feels good :)

Luckily, one need not know how a computer works in order to use it.
