Risch Andreas.pdf - Osteopathic Research

Im weiteren Verlauf macht er dann einen Exkurs über Galen und Goethe und bringt
deren philosophisches Verständnis von Natur und Gesundheit in den Kontext von
osteopathischer Philosophie.
Anschließend zitiert er J. Jealous, der seiner Meinung nach die Lehren von Still und
Becker weiter entwickelt und die Lücke im osteopathischen Verständnis von
Gesundheit schliesst. Er sei mehr pragmatisch und zugänglich und könne
Gesundheit in einer Art und Weise beschreiben, die wir verstehen können. Jealous
(1996) beschreibt Gesundheit als das „etwas Andere“ oder das Außergewöhnliche in
uns ( Paulus, 2007):
“It cannot be damaged, diseased, or lesioned. It is at the core of our being, it is unchangeable
and cannot be increased or decreased. Health is the “true matrix”, the infrastructure of a living
being that interfaces with every structural, physiologic and psychological expression”
(Jealous, J. S. Around the Edges, #6, circa 1997, p. 1).
“Health does not originate from a single place within the anatomy of an individual, but
emerges from each cell and is present in all living fluids as the matrix from which insentient
matter becomes animate” (Jealous, J. S. Biodynamics Curriculum 1999 Phase IV).
Paulus (2007) fährt fort indem er Aussagen von Jealous und Sutherland anführt:
“Jealous offers a treatment approach very similar to Becker and to Sutherland. He says to feel
the Health of a patient you must drop from your sensory field perceptions of bone, membrane,
fluid, central nervous system activity and most importantly lesions, dysfunctions, or disease.
He teaches, “Even though the patient’s physiologic, structural or psychological processes are
disordered, we can as Osteopaths offer the individual an experience of feeling completely
balanced and whole.” Sutherland would ask us to realize a state of “Be Still and Know” in
order to experience the Health. Jealous extends that teaching and asks for our observer to
first become afferent (receiving), then to feel Health comes to you, rather than looking
(efferently) to search for something. The perception of Health has no reciprocal tension and no
emotional state. He states it can be sensed, but not palpated, by the operator as an
identifiable matrix with a unique feel that is linked to the Breath of Life.”
