"This is one of the main visible aspects of Divine Straightening. And it happens in less than a second. It's a sign of change that continues working in the whole body," Toskar explained about his spiritual healing approach called, "Divine Straightening".
Toskar is a spiritual healer who, together with his wife, Carolin Toskar, runs healing centres in Switzerland and Germany. He is also the founder of the Spiritual Health Foundation, whose mission is the development of spiritual healing and well-being for children and dependent people.
Toskar is the author of Die Geistige Aufrichtung, a book that describes the method essence of Divine Straightening and how it functions. It was later translated into an English version entitled Divine Straightening, and then a Thai version entitled, Palung Jit Raksa Rok. He also travels around the world to present this beneficial work and hold lectures, and has visited several hospitals and universities throughout Thailand as well as the Ministry of Public Health.
Divine Straightening is an alternative healing approach that departs from conventional medicine. According to Toskar, it is a spiritual process that leads to the healing and well-being of the entire body-mind-spirit system of a human being.
The source of the healing power is divinity, the therapist went on. In other words, it can also be called "Divine Power" or "Mind Power", while Toskar himself functions as a messenger - a bridge that connects such power and his patients.
"There are many different types of spiritual healings," Toskar explained. "Spiritual healings have been known for thousands of years. Divine Straightening is, however, still very young. It has been known for only 20 years. It is cosmic energy that patients receive. Everybody can open themselves up for divine energies through spiritual practices. The effects depend on the degree of the development of herself or himself."
Toskar first received the knowledge of Divine Straightening from his father Pjotr Elkunoviz 20 years ago. A renowned Russian spiritual healer, Elkunoviz suffered from a severe abrasion of the spine due to a scoliotic pelvis. And with yoga practice he could fortunately keep the pain at bay. But his back problem became so extreme that he was barely able to move. After many months of seeking treatments he received a very strong healing power from the divine world at 40 years of age. And he was then immediately healed.
As a child, Toskar was already very interested in spirituality. Ever since he received the knowledge of Divine Straightening from his father, he has stood for that energy. The learning process can only take place between a father and son, which means the practice of Divine Straightening is not easily accessibly.
Today, Toskar continues to develop his father's work, as well as spread the healing work - together with his wife - in Europe, Asia and the US.

"My father was artistically gifted. He had the extraordinary ability of recognising people's physical abnormalities. When he was in his early twenties, he started creating and selling his art pieces. His works basically featured the imbalance and abnormal shapes of human beings. And while doctors usually said that such were 'normal conditions' as human beings are generally born with unequal pelvic bones and leg bones, my father on the other hand pointed out that 'these are conditions of human beings that deserve to be fixed and reversed back to normal'," Toskar said in his book.
The Ministry of Public Health's health inspector Dr Jakkriss Bhumisawasdi, said the main objective of Divine Straightening is in fact not to cure diseases. On the contrary, it is aimed to create an "orderly arrangement" inside a human body, which can eventually lead to a healthy physical and mental state.
"I don't want people to misunderstand that Divine Straightening is a magical power that can cure anything. The power helps to bring about a better energy flow inside the body. It creates balance. And when energy flows smoothly, every organ functions better. The result is better physical health," commented Dr Jakkriss, president of the Foundation for Development of Complementary-Alternative Medicine.
"And this spiritual practice links all religions, be they Buddhism, Christianity or Islam," he added.
Toskar quotes in his book and lectures from Luke 3:5: "The crooked shall be made straight", and speaks about Divine Straightening as the straightening of the life-axis. "The way is made smooth to prepare for the creator and for the vital force," he stressed.
And by referring to the Bible, the healer believes that the development and characteristics - together with other influences and emotions including anxiety, sadness, fear, loneliness, jealousy and hatred - before birth are considered invisible energies that bring about "crooked" life patterns. This is the main reason why Toskar's treatment focuses on the concept that disproportionate legs, shoulder blades or a crooked spine must be straightened to allow the energy blockages to be freed.
"The focal point of the spiritual healing is always on the information or data inside the human body. In the prenatal stages, a human being is like a book. We are open to everybody and anyone can write whatever they want in this book. The development during the prenatal stage, therefore, is so much influenced by our subconsciousness and our consciousness. Emotions from the parents also have a great impact on the way we grow up. These things are sitting in our spinal cord. And when our energy goes low, there's a blockage of the energy inside our body, resulting in rough-way circumstances. When the blockage of energy is freed, we can consciously become creators of our life circumstances and advance in our spiritual development," he said.
"Our movements all involve the spine. Whatever positions we are in ... steady, pause, sit or stand straight ... all involves the spine. And such abnormal curving of the spine may affect our perfect life-patterns," he mentioned in his book.
The therapist was recently in Bangkok to give a lecture to the public at Buddhakaya Auditorium, DMG Books. At the event, a large number of people gathered. Some of them were interested to learn more about this spiritual approach while others were eager to receive the treatment itself.
The actual healing process was swift. It only took a matter of seconds. First Toskar examined his patient's legs, shoulder blades and spine. The healer did not need to close his eyes, perform any ritual or pronounce a mantra. He simply sent his power to the patient by an invisible means.
And while patients may receive repeated treatments months or even years later, the result of Divine Straightening, the healer remarked, is permanent.
According to Toskar, the healing power will give people the strength and confidence to go about their duties and experiences in their daily lives.
"After the straightening of the spinal cord, the life energy can flow freely and reach every organ. It creates a new order inside the body. This new order is very intelligent. It knows what is best for us. It creates lots of changes. It doesn't need to be told what to do to better our life and body. Of course, many people experience spontaneous recovery after the treatment. The cosmic power will give them confidence that they need. It creates the balance.
"And this balance will be grounded and you will be able to use more life energy. Many people feel it in their daily lives, especially those who know they once had some ideas of what they wanted to do, but the situation wasn't right, or they did not have enough power or strength to do it.
"But after Divine Straightening, they now feel that the time is right. They can use the power that is now available to them to achieve whatever they want," Toskar concluded.
