Why Aurelis?

Why Aurelis?

The purpose of the AURELIS project is to use autosuggestion as a means to communicate with the subconscious and to direct its tremendous power in order to gain better health and well being.

AURELIS is thereby centered on an ongoing (r)evolution in medicine. It brings together several needs and possibilities that both have multiplied in importance worldwide during the last decennia. Namely:

• the need for a really strong answer to the burgeoning amount of psychosomatic illness and addictions
• the need for self-care
• the possibility of transgressing into a new medical way of thinking, that is consistent with the scientific principles of the present one
• an advanced use of informatics, remaining within the range of widely available hardware.

Medicine has never been a once-and-for-all science. It continually evolves and regularly undergoes a paradigm shift. The'regular' medicine as we know it at this turn of the 21st century, is in fact still very young and probing. For instance: nearly all medications prescribed before World War II were -as shown in retrospect- pure placebos without any directly positive physical action. Yet these medications were efficient because they carried the expectation / belief of cure. Moreover, it is a scientific fact that most of the medications of today have a placebo-effect of 40% or more, sometimes even 80% (as in the case of many antidepressants). These numbers are of course much higher than most people are aware of. This has led some of the most insightful thinkers to the following lamentation:

If everything were known about the etiology of the placebo effect, the terms placebo and placebo effect would disappear and be replaced by a hugely powerful megapsychotherapy.

To make use of the enormous powers of the 'placebo effect', but without any need for the misleading 'placebo' itself is the aim of the AURELIS project. AURELIS is a self-help method that for the first time in history utilizes in a direct way the amazing power of the subconscious to achieve personal goals. Much more than positive-thinking techniques, the methods used in the book 'Heal Yourself' teach people to take control of their subconscious power and use it to benefit their lives. Thereby, all readers and previous readers of positive thinking books are likely to be interested in AURELIS ideas and practice.
