The Diamond Path of Life

The Diamond Path of Life

The Diamond Path of Life is an integrated system of healing based on Dr. Diamond’s fifty years of research and clinical observation in the areas of orthodox and complementary medicine (especially psychiatry and acupuncture), the humanities, holism, and the arts. The result is truly holistic and focuses on the totality of the sufferer, the triune of body, mind, and spirit, and how all three must be involved in every healing process. It gives the sufferer an understanding of the precise causes of his anguish. Through this knowledge, he can learn to overcome it by encouraging the working of the Healing Power of his own Spirit, his Life Energy.

The central concept in the Diamond Path of Life is Life Energy. Life Energy is the name Dr. Diamond gives the innate healing power of the body and it is intimately connected with health in that whatever the symptoms of any particular illness, underneath we will always find a diminution of Life Energy. It is the Healing Power within us, the restorative powers of our own body, and the only true healing comes by raising the Life Energy.

The concept of Life Energy is basic to acupuncture theory, and the main component of the Diamond Path of Life is the Acupuncture Emotional System (AES). The AES delineates the relationship between the emotions and the acupuncture meridians. First developed by Dr. Diamond in the 1970s and the basis of his best-selling book Life Energy: Using the Meridians to Unlock the Hidden Power of the Emotions, the AES marks a milestone in the history of medicine. It demonstrates with unprecedented clarity the interconnectedness of the mind and the body and thus provides the basis for both a truly holistic approach towards health and an understanding of psychosomatic medicine.

The research tool of the Diamond Path of Life, Life-Energy Analysis, is used to make an assessment of each sufferer: his suffering and the strength he has which will enable him to overcome it. It is then through the encouragement of the strengths that the negativities are overcome. Our strengths are our salvation, as they provide the power for transmutation.

Other main components of the Diamond Path of Life include: Body Energy Fields, such as the chakras and auras; therapeutic approaches specially developed by Dr. Diamond involving them, such as color therapy and vibrational therapy; and Creativity.

Dr. Diamond has done more than anyone to develop ways of using Creativity for health. The Diamond Path of Life therefore gives a central role the Higher Arts, especially music and the visual arts. Dr. Diamond believes that Creativity, performed in the right way, is highly therapeutic, and whether we are dancing, singing, taking a photograph, or painting, we can know that our creativity comes from the Muse, the Goddess of Love within us.

This knowledge, which can also be achieved through the many other modalities and approaches of the Diamond Path of Life, is what Dr. Diamond calls Cantillation, and is its goal, its supreme aspiration.

The Diamond Path of Life is ultimately to do with overcoming the Anguish of the Human Condition through each of us realizing our innate Holiness. This we do through seeing our individual mothers as the Mother of Love, for it is only when we know her soul that we can know our own. When we truly know our mothers in this way we are in a state of Belovedness. Thus to follow the Diamond Path of Life is to cross the bridge form ‘A’ to ‘B’ to ‘C’ — from Anguish to Belovedness through to Cantillation.
