Acknowledgments

I WOULD LIKE TO SINCERELY THANK all those who have contributed to this book. My employees at MUNDUS GmbH helped me considerably: Frank Eberhardt, Mara Lffler, Katrin Lffler, and Mara Ebinger offered many hours of support throughout the process of preparing this book prior to publication. They read the text, discussed it with me, and helped me edit it. They put my sketches into printable form and were always willing to lend their knowledge and assistance.

The photographs of the exercises are intended to illustrate these processes as authentically as possible. For this I would like to thank our model, , Milena Leonhardt, who displayed a naturalness that readily translates to the printed page.

Special thanks to my German publisher, AT Verlag, especially Urs Hunziker and Ralf Lay, who worked intensively with me to create the original edition of this book. As well, for facilitating a connection to AT Verlag, I have Dr. Anne Katharina Zschocke to thank. In an intensive conversation about my work she encouraged my impulse to put all my knowledge into a book. Thank you for your initiative and encouragement.

I am very grateful to my American publisher for its effort to bring my book into the English-speaking world. Special thanks from my heart go to Kayla Toher and Jeanie Levitan for their candor and patience to take into account all the subtle details of the concepts in this book and who cared for keeping the spirit of the English translation alive so that all people might apply the knowledge that is included in these pages.

Ines Helm has revised the manuscript with great sensitivity to make sure that the possibility of self-healing, based on the underlying laws of nature, has been translated into the English language, so every person, through understanding and training, is able to improve their sense of hearing.

My heartfelt thanks go to my partner, Jutta Ebinger, who is always right by my side with her big heart. She read the text with me for many months and helped me find the right words. Her feminine view of things enriches my life and has had an impact on this work in many ways.

Without all the people who have attended our seminars, getting involved in our work and strengthening it through their reports on their individual experiences, I would not have been able to penetrate so deeply and thoroughly into the heart of understanding inherent order. They have strengthened my confidence and have contributed to the deepening of my own knowledge and to the creation of this book. Thank you all!

INTRODUCTION

Rebuilding Our Connection to the World

ONE MORNING AN ELDERLY WOMAN CALLED ME and asked, I heard that you can improve your hearing, even at my age. Is that really true? And how does that work?

In this book I will answer this question in a new way in the hope that it will remove any doubts or skepticism, such as That cant be true; otherwise my doctor would have known about it, or If I let my guard down and Im disappointed again, that would be awful, because until now my experience has been that my hearing is getting worse, particularly in situations when its noisy around me in a restaurant or when someone is talking next door. This has been going on for many yearsand now you say my hearing can actually improve?

Through hearing we have a special connection with everything that surrounds uswith the people we meet, with the birds that sing their songs, with the airplanes that fly above us, or with the pounding jackhammer on the road. We are in contact with all these things and many, many more through the sense of hearing.

Not being able to hear is not normalnot even when you get older. Yet it happens all too often, and as we shall soon learn its usually as a result of stress or certain traumatic events in life. At some point we realize that we are constantly saying, What did you say? Please say it again. Sometimes we add an apologetic Im sorry; its so loud in here I cant understand you. Most likely youve not been satisfied with the answers youve received so far from the medical establishment. In searching for an alternative, you now hold this book in your hands, so at least you do hear your inner voice, and thats a good place to start.

This book is about how we can rebuild our sense of hearing naturally, step-by-step. Hearing doesnt regulate itself, so we need to understand the cause of hearing loss and adopt suitable training techniques that will restore this invaluable sense organ.

This book is the result of more than 10 years of practice during which I have worked closely with people who have all manner of hearing issues. I have drawn on the gifts and the experiences of my life, including my study of such diverse subjects as physics, biology, mathematics, medicine, and architecture. My teachers have been those who have looked deeply into their areas of expertise and have consistently explored our natural world, which we perceive and experience in our daily lives.

We are beings of flesh and blood; we each have a soul and spirit and follow lifes physical laws. If we do not hear well, then we are, in a sense, in a state of imbalance. The aim of our work is to use the Basic Method of Hearing Regeneration to train our sense of hearing and add an impulse to further a sense of order within our system of body, spirit, and soul. In this case well be working with the brain, which initializes an order and the subsequent support for that directive. In this way we stimulate our self-regulation, which allows us to find our center.

System: A self-contained, ordered, and articulated whole; a totality, the structure or parts of which mesh, interact, and are interdependent (Greek, Systema)

Brain: The hub of the central nervous system in more sophisticated animals, especially vertebrates, in which the sensory centers and higher switching centers (coordination and association) are located. The brain is both an organ with a specific structure and complex functions that govern the physical control of our body, and a control center of our consciousness. It also has memory functions and possibilities of perception that we cannot specifically locate on an organic level.

Self-regulation: Control of oneself by oneself. The goal of most types of therapy is to improve an individuals ability to self-regulate; to gain (or regain) a sense of control over ones behavior and life.

An indispensable element in the basic method of hearing regeneration is a natural and well-defined sound source with which we can align ourselves. Such sounds can easily be found at home, for example, in the form of a running faucet, which is our preferred source. Through the method presented in this book, anyone can successfully train their hearing.

Sometimes such common sounds might not be enough to trigger our hearing, especially when there is significant hearing loss or other serious hearing issues, such as a one-sided hearing impairment or severe dizziness and increased sensitivity to noise (hyperacusis). Then it may be necessary to use a special speaker system in conjunction with the basic method taught in this book; namely, a natural sound transducer known in Europe as the Naturschallwandler (NSW), which I developed myself. This system emits sounds naturally as they occur in nature; that is, they radiate into three-dimensional space from a single point (for details refer to pages ).
