The Human Dimmer Switch

Depending on culture, religious and/or philosophical beliefs, the current of energy that flows through us has many names. For example: Chi, Ki, Mana, Prana, Kundalini, Innate (Intelligence), Spirit, Soul, Inner Wisdom, Love, Light, Life Force, etc. I prefer using the terms Energy, Inner Wisdom, Light Energy and The Silent Pulse.

We have already established that, in order for us to function at our highest level, we must have a free & adequate flow of this energy. Therefore, any interference or interruption of this flow of inner wisdom gives rise to the opposite. This brings up a very important question. If a drop off or reduction of energy causes malfunction & dis-ease, what is the origin of this decrease in the first place? Simple answer - STRESS!

The one and only cause of any sprain, strain, ache, pain, illness, disease, ailment or decrease in function of any kind is stress. When stress reaches the point of being excessive, tension is created in the major nerve bundles of the central nervous system and has been measured all the way down to the DNA molecules. This tension, in turn, slows or blocks the stream of light energy. Therefore, stress literally creates a human dimmer switch causing a decrease in The Silent Pulse that flows through us.

In the next post, we'll discuss the different types of stress.

Homeostasis

Why do we sweat when our bodies begin to overheat? Why do we get “goose-bumps” (also called chicken skin) and begin to shiver when we get cold? The answer is simple – even though we are surrounded by constant change, our body is programmed to maintain an internal balance. Sweating cools our body while shivering warms us. These are examples of homeostasis, which is an important aspect of how we function & can influence the healing process.

Homeostasis, at its basic level, is the tendency for our body to regulate all of its internal conditions, such as hormone levels, pH (acidity), body fluid levels, temperature, oxygen levels and many other factors so as to maintain health and functioning, regardless of outside conditions. On the other hand, if these outside conditions persist over a period of time, our body can be programmed to alter what it considers to be its “normal state”, thus, homeostasis can also work against us.

For example: Have you ever known anyone who tried to quit smoking? Most of us would agree that becoming a non-smoker is a good change for someone to go through. Nevertheless, their body and mind will fight them every step of the way because smoking has become part of their “normal state” that of which the body works very hard to maintain.

We function based on set internal memories or patterns. Although some of these patterns were created through genetics, the majority develops due to a lifetime of experiences. During every experience that you have, your body will respond based on these patterns that were built by your past experiences. The entire body then maintains homeostasis during all current experiences by monitoring your internal conditions and responding appropriately when these conditions deviate from the established patterns.

According to neurophysiologist Karl Pribram and others, biophotons give the impression of having holographic properties and may be the basis for all memories. Since this light/energy is in every DNA molecule of our body, each experience & memory that we have has the ability to affect our entire being. Of course, like the smoking example above, not all of these internal patterns & memories are good for us. The good news is that, with a little work, these old patterns can be broken & replaced with healthier ones. Once you learn The Intention Method, you will be able to identify the patterns that lead us away from better health and create ones that move us towards well being.

The main point that I want to make clear about homeostasis is that our body, mind and spirit will subconsciously and fiercely resist any kind of alteration in our lifestyle whether or not it would be beneficial to us or not. Due to homeostasis, it is not the norm to create a new permanent, healthy pattern in just one healing session using The Intention Method. In fact, beginning any type of program that promises a personal transformation of any kind can take time & patience. But if you add in a little persistence & hope, you will overcome this natural resistance to change in relatively short period of time.

How the Body Communicates

Have you ever wondered how a message to wiggle travels from your mind to your toes so quickly? Have you ever marveled at how your heart knows what the perfect rate to beat is, no matter what the situation, without the need for a conscious thought? How about digestion, reproduction, temperature regulation, hormonal balance or any other bodily function? Popp’s biophoton research explains how this communication between the body, mind and spirit actually takes place.

According to this theory, light (biophotons) is actually stored in the DNA molecule of each cell. This light, that is constantly passing through and being absorbed by each DNA molecule, appears to carry information to other cells, tissues, and organs within the body and serves as the organism's main communication network.

Since light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second, information can travel from one end of the body to the other in what seems like an instant.

Where's the Shift?

"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." - Albert Einstein

In the last post we talked about Einstein's & Popp's amazing discoveries. Einstein's E=MC2 changed the way science looks at the world and helped to launch the quantum age. Popp's research confirmed that we are all literally beings of light. The work of these two men, along with countless others, has created a paradigm shift from the old mechanistic viewpoint of life that derived from Sir Issac Newton to a vitalistic belief system. Since The Intention Method is based on vitalistic principles, it is important that we discuss the differences between these two philosophies.

A mechanistic belief system is based on the belief that there is nothing beyond the physical. Our world is comprised of only the things we can perceive through our senses of touch, taste, sound, sight or smell. If anyone following this belief system discovered something to be beyond the physical, they would conclude that the non-physical must be totally separate from themselves. This philosophy of life is also called outside-in thinking.

An example of a mechanistic belief system is conventional western medicine. Today's allopathic medicine is based on Newtonian Physics. In this outside-in model, disease is due either to external toxic agents (bacteria or virus) or a mechanical malfunction of an internal organ or system. The focus of western medicine is to treat the disease until physical symptoms disappear using drugs from outside of the body or using surgery to remove or replace malfunctioning parts inside the body.

A vitalistic belief system, or inside-out thinking, is based on the belief that the physical world is an extension of the energetic/spiritual world. Everything is energy & everything is connected. Following this philosophy, one would conclude that we are not separate from anyone or anything. This world & universe is the result of all of us energetic/spiritual beings having a physical experience.

Natural healing methods typically follow this inside-out belief system. The Intention Method is based on energy (quantum) physics. It focuses on the Life Force Energy flow within the individual. Since all power comes from within, dis-ease (lack of ease) is due to an imbalance in the quality & flow of Life Force Energy, not from something or some force outside of the body. This method treats the person - not the disease.

Today, there is a time & place for both a mechanistic & vitalistic belief system regarding overall health. In fact, there may not be a better choice in a major health crisis than conventional medicine. The emergency rooms across the U.S. save lives everyday. If I were to experience critical physical trauma from an accident, was severely bleeding, or suffering a heart attack, stroke, etc. I would be heading to the nearest hospital. Western medicine clearly does a fantastic job of "crisis" care.

However, when it comes to true "health" care, allopathic medicine fails miserably. The third leading cause of death in this country is medicine. Medical mistakes kill at least 300,000 people each year in the U.S. alone (with some estimates as high as 700,000 per year which would surpass cancer & heart disease for the number one spot). With this current track record you would think they would make some major changes in their overall approach to health. Instead, they keep looking for the newest drug or surgical procedure that will solve all problems. This, of course, is more outside-in thinking. Einstein made his discoveries over a hundred years ago! Where's the shift?

Waiting for modern medicine to catch up to modern science can literally be hazardous to your health. When it comes to restoring, maintaining, and elevating overall health & creating a movement towards wellness, a vitalistic based method of health & healing is far superior to the mechanistic "crisis" care of conventional western medicine.

Einstein & Popp

In 1905, Albert Einstein not only changed the face of physics forever but his discoveries have continued to change the way we perceive ourselves and everything in our universe. His famous equation E=MC2 showed us that there is more to this world of ours than meets the eye.

What does this legendary equation mean? Simply that everything is energy. Everything!! The seen & the unseen. The computer screen you're looking at, the chair you're on, the walls around you, your entire body and even your thoughts. It's all energy.

Let's take this a step further.

In the 1970's, German physicist Fritz-Albert Popp took us a step further in this new understanding by demonstrating that all living things, from the most basic of single-celled plants to sophisticated organisms like human beings, emit a constant tiny current of photons = tiny particles of light. Every cell in the body literally gives and receives light. This light can’t be seen by the naked eye but can be measured using high tech equipment. Also, Popp’s work has shown that the quality of light emitted by each organism directly determines the quality of life. Since these discoveries, Popp’s research has been repeated & confirmed numerous times by a group of at least 40 scientists around the world.

Here is the main point that I want to be clear: Light is energy & we are energetic beings. The quality of energy flow is equal to the quality of life. In order to reach optimal health we must keep our energy flowing to all parts of our being without any obstructions.

I'll show you how to find & correct these blockages of energy once we get into the technique portion of The Intention Method of Natural Healing. So bear with me as we first tackle some of the science & philosophy behind this method.

The Best Way??

Before we dive into the Intention Wellness Method technique portion of this blog, I think it is extremely important to learn some basics about how the body works & what must occur in order to create imbalances and malfunctions within the body. Thus, I think the best way to proceed is to spend some time focusing on these points along with a discussion on healthy lifestyle choices that can prevent any imbalances from occurring and can help lead one towards total well being.

Finding imbalances and correcting them is an extremely powerful technique (and a ton of fun) but preventing imbalances in the first place should not be underestimated.

The Rules

I have a lot of faith that anyone who would be interested in the type of information that is being presented on this blog has a tremendous amount of common sense. However, a few attorneys that are friends of mine from the Rotary Club like to remind me that SoCal is a very "sue" happy area to do business in. Thus, The Rules:

The Intention Method of Natural Healing

This method has helped many people of all walks of life alleviate a variety of symptoms, conditions and diseases. And yet, surprisingly, this method DOES NOT “TREAT” any of these problems. Getting relief from these conditions is an example of one of the good side effects that can emerge from regular care using The Intention Wellness Method.

The goal of natural healing, and the only goal of this method, is to make sure that your Life Force Energy can flow without any obstructions so that you can adapt, heal and continually grow into whatever you were meant to be. This goal is accomplished by gently correcting the effects of stress.

Stress (which we may also call imbalances, tension or dis-ease) originates from many physical, mental, chemical & spiritual causes. In excess amounts, these imbalances will block or slow the proper energy flow within the body. Therefore, inhibiting your body’s ability to function properly and creating tension throughout your body, mind & spirit.

By means of our unique hands-on natural healing method, the effects of stress are corrected or reduced. Thus, tension is replaced with ease, energy flow is improved and your entire system will function at a higher level no matter what type of condition that you may have acquired.

It is important to realize that The Intention Wellness Method is NOT a substitute for medical treatment of any kind, in any way, or for any reason. Also, no statement from this blog is intended as a medical diagnosis and should not be confused as such.

"Everyone is doing it??"

Well, it seems that the blogosphere is here to stay (at least until instant mind-reading becomes the next craze). So, I guess it's time that I jump into the fun. Over the next few months this blog will serve as a warm-up to my first "how to" book. I hope it serves as a nice health & wellness resource as well as an intro into the amazing world of natural hands-on-healing (which is a lot easier to do than it sounds). If you are interested in becoming a healer or you are looking to move your health towards wellness - stay tuned!!
