The Brain Therapy seminar is our roadmap to dig deeper in discovering how the body works. We always need to be open in searching for the answers. Important concepts that may pique your research instincts are expressed here as an open forum. If you discover a new clinical finding in your practice, please let me know for possible inclusion on this website. Brain Cycle Research Brain cycle research is a fascinating area of study since the physiological manifestations of a longer brain cycle are unknown. What is the length of a "normal" cycle? At every seminar I have noticed that students' brain cycles generally lengthen with therapy. An initial "normal" ten-second cycle can become a forty or more second cycle by the end of the course. Some people, including myself, are now running seventy-five second cycles. How long can the cycle naturally extend? The only logical scientific explanation is that when the onion pattern of strain is re-moved from the body, the brain and spinal cord are allowed their fullest natural movement. No one can directly speed up or slow down the motion of the brain; only it has this inherent power. Thus, the 6-10 cycles per minute pattern, commonly thought of as the physiological standard, does not appear to be "normal" for everyone. Fascial Release The unique fascial release component in Brain Therapy appears to be the key factor in allowing the brain cycle to naturally extend. Fascial strain is a powerful influence on brain motion. Questions The future clinical applications of brain cycle physiology are endless.
The rest I leave for you.
The Tongue Swing Technique I developed all of the techniques in this seminar except for the tongue "swing" technique (on page 131 of the seminar workbook) first used by Suzette Howland from Massachusetts.
This technique releases fascial strain deep in the throat. To release dental injection trauma of the lower jaw she also does the "swing' while holding the point of needle entry to the mandibular nerve medial to the body of the mandible with her index finger. Do not be surprised if residue anesthetic is release from the fascia, and the patient's teeth and jaw becomes immediately numb again. Fascial Release In The Area Of The Lung Meridian Lynn DeMarco from Pennsylvania presents an interesting finding. When she was doing a fascial release technique in the direct area of the patient's lung meridian in the shoulder and arm, the patient was able to take a deep breath for the first time in years. In addition to blood vessels, nerves, organs, and muscles, this suggests that there is a correlation between tight fascia and energy circuits in the body. The Interconnected Body: This reinforces the concept of the interconnected body in the Einstein-Tiller energy model where therapy in one part of the body can affect the function of another part. At the core of their onion some patients may have a strong fascial pull from their pelvic floor to their cranium. You can feel this pulling by placing one hand on the occiput and your other hand on the abdominal cavity. This strain can generate just about any chronic condition from the pelvis to the cranium! When I suffered from general nausea, I hypothesized that the drugs injected into my deltoids had drained into my lower back causing this strain pattern. It took years to clear out of my body. Look for the "big pull" in your patients. The body remembers and stores all lifetime traumas in its onion. Traumatic emotional and/or physical tooth extractions that can be the underlying cause of a patient's condition(s) may be held for forty years or more. Do the "swing" where
you are holding the occiput with one hand and the jawbone
where the tooth had been removed with the other hand.
Many therapy visits may be needed to release the tissues
if
multiple extractions were done over a period of time. |
