I first became aware of the occurrence of “psychasms” in my work with physically impaired persons. Even in those persons with complete severing of any connection between genital stimulation and the brain, orgasms and sometimes more intense orgasms than prior to injury were reported.

“I feel it. Well, I don’t actually ‘feel’ as much as I ‘experience it.’ It may be an ‘eargasm,’ or ‘neckasm’ or related to just a ‘cud-dleasm,’ but is clearly an intense orgasm. I really think I never had orgasm, at least not anything but physical orgasms, before I broke my neck.” This report came from a young skier who had injured herself in a fall several years ago. As I worked with her and her uninjured husband, they both reported a clear and distinct difference between physiological and psychological orgasms.

“I learned from her what it meant to really have orgasms, to really come. It wasn’t like just in one place … it was an overwhelming event. It sort of came over me instead of me coming.” Her husband had been freed to experience the difference between physiological reflex in reaction to genital stimulation and psychological experience through a shared body/mind experience.

Psychasm has been one of the most difficult of concepts for me to present at professional programs. “Orgasm is orgasm” is usually the argument, even though basic neurophysiolgy teaches that ejaculation and contractions are not the same as the full orgasmic experience. Discuss the issue with your partner. You will see that you are able to divide the physical from the psychological aspects of orgasm, and be able to take the “organ” out of orgasm.

In the healing process, your attention was not bothered with any boring details of the healing process. It seems, that the healing method, together with the detailed regeneration and repair schedule for every cell has already been known. Your attention was not engaged in any minute details, because all these details have been solved long ago during your evolution, have been stored somewhere between the DNA and your subconscious mind, and are simply not worth paying attention to.

In a similar way, your attention is not engaged in any of the normal functions of your body like digestion, metabolism, blood circulation, temperature control or growing nails.

It seems, that the body self healing described above is also a normal function, deserving no more of your attention than blood circulation, metabolism or growing hair.

It is easy to point out, that the body self-healing described above is not limited to cuts and bruises. On the contrary – it covers every possible organ and every possible function of our body.

Simple logic also suggests, that such healing occurs all the time, and every organ is actually continuously being repaired “on the go” – as required.

When the body performs such self repair without turning our attention to it, we feel healthy and comfortable. Everybody, including medical practitioners recognise such a situation as a state of good health. We feel happy and content, and we never think of seeking any medical advice. We also feel that whatever we do to our body in such a state is right.

A natural question arises: are there any limits to such healing?

Let us come back again to our example of a simple cut.

Again, simple logic supported by practical experience suggests, that the more damage is made to the body – the more difficult will be the corresponding repair job. When the damage is excessive, for example a limb is totally crushed or detached from the body, the healing process becomes extremely difficult.

The above description is a quite simplified explanation of the body self-healing process, which nevertheless offers a sufficient and quite convincing explanation for many of us.
