Your Future is Calling… “ Make a Shift”
What if shifting your mindset and perception of healing… would send you in a different direction of success for the results you have been seeking and yet, have fallen short from achieving.
Have you ever felt a pain in your body and thought… “oh no here we go again!”
Have you ever endured chronic symptom and thought… “why is it still happening to me?”
Have you ever tried a new treatment and thought… “why isn’t this working?”
What if… all these situations where a (((Call))) to Make a Shift!
What if… making a shift in your mindset of healing could send you in a different direction.
What if… making a shift in your perception of what your body is doing and what is capable of sent you towards better results.
What if… making a shift in approach meant making a shift away from the old patterns and moving towards new outcomes.
Often, we know the things we need to do to improve our health and well-being but, we can’t seem to move past the resistance in our habits our thinking and how we are experiencing our body’s chronic stress patterns.
Only… Leaving us more exhausted in mind… in body… and in spirit depleting our overall vitality, immunity and health. If you can access a shift in your mindset, a shift in your awareness, a shift in your approach… Everything can change!!!
Our approach at Rilascio Chiropractic is …Shifting away from seeing your body as broken. …Shifting towards seeing your nervous system as adaptable and capable of healing, a shift towards ease, flexibility, expansion, integration, higher function and renewed well-being. Your… symptoms, your pain, your sickness, you’re suffering… Is all a call from your future self to “Make a Shift.”
Whatever you are going through “Use It” as a catalyst… to learn from it... grow from it... and by all means be more because of where life has brought you and what you’ve lived through… or have been living in physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
No matter where you are finding yourself presently in your life. Know that… this is not the best it can be… and it’s not your final destination.
There is more for you… beyond the heart ache, beyond the diagnosis, beyond the suffering and beyond the pain beyond the healing and health crisis you’ve been living in or living through.
Imagine making a shift and aligning with your future that is fulfilled… Beginning TODAY where you are…to begin truly optimizing your life, health and well-being from the inside out!
There is power in choice and you get to “chose!”
You get to choose… to align with the future that you are here to fulfill and live out.
Now… Whether life stays the same where you are staying on the same track!
Where you are finding yourself treating symptom after symptom after symptom, living out a lifestyle of pain and symptom management. Where you hoping to restore your life and health “back” to where you were before the symptom, before the crisis, before the disease began. You get to choose whether you continue to move in the same tail spinning direction you’ve been moving in… a downward spiral getting worse or at best getting the same results!!!
You get to choose… you get to make a new empowering choice to move and step in a new direction within a new reality and into a new mindset… a new paradigm … establishing a new relationship with your body-mind … new relationship with your emotions … a new relationship with your pain, a new relationship with your energy …your soul ... new relationship with your health and well-being.
Where you are… Now… reOrganizing on a quantum level and becoming more resourceful from within… where you are capable of becoming more resourceful in your body and life where you are reOrganizing physically, mentally, emotionally, even spiritually…no matter what you’ve lived through… what ever you’ve survived through.
What if… the pain and suffering, the disease, condition or crisis… that you may be presently living in becomes the antidote… the catalyst… the transformational resource you have been needing not to… just reset, not to… just restore you back to where you were prior to the pain, prior to the crisis, prior to the inconvenience, and the the distress, the break-down or the break up.
…to where you are NOW able to harness and transform all these life-stresses and to begin… becoming more resourceful in your life from within on a cellular level… aligning and re-aligning with your future self...
Imagine to where you are now… learning to use everything that you are currently feeling or have lived through… as a resource of fuel …for growth in your life …fuel for your healing …fuel for optimizing your life and becoming more of your authentic-self, living out your genetic expression without any interference... think about it!
No matter… where you are presently experiencing your body’s overall health, diseased state, and it’s vitality, right now!
No matter how weakened your immune system…no matter what label or diagnosis you’ve just been given or even the badge you have overly identified with and the prognosis that comes with that badge to reinforce the dissonance and dysfunction, the disempowerment from your healing.
Truly… no matter where you are finding current state of mental, emotional well-being... no matter how bruised or exhausted your spirit may be....
All of these conditioned states… are symptoms of… being out of alignment with your fullest expression of your genetic potential being lived out through your nervous system and in your life.
If you’ve been Living in the Stress… Living in the Static in your life personally and professionally. You have been Living in a distorted reality because the underlying stress within your nervous system continues to be interfering with your life expression and undermining your health and well-being, day in and day out 24/7.
Now… I want you to Imagine… That you have just received a call from your future self... encouraging you to make the shift... helping you to align with the life you are here to live... the vitality you are here to express through a healthy body and renewed awareness of your soul’s purpose your are here to fulfill.
Now, Check this out… Your future self knows exactly in your heart and in your soul at this season in your life... Whether you are needing the gentle nudge the encouragement from a whisper of inspiration and motivation that helps you to realign to the happy, healthy, prosperous future you are here to fulfill or…
Your future self knows exactly if at this season in your Life, if you are needing Life to be screaming at you through a bullhorn …where maybe you’re needing to be pushed by the fear of future suffering or thought of getting worse and the ability to avoid anymore future Losses and interruptions in your life… preventing the further decline of your health and the continued dysfunction… physically, mentally, emotionally.
To finally be the catalyst shaking you back on course… or maybe it’s the final straw that broke the camels back if you will, to where you’re finally say enough of living like this… enough of feeling like this… to where you’ve been pushed with your back up against the wall again once and for all… to where you are still fighting for life to be different, for your health to change… no matter how exhausted you are. To where the house of cards, have finally collapsed and you are left in the rubble of the ultimatum where everything must change once and for all.
We have all heard the old cliche … “if you change nothing… nothing changes” … therefore nothing changes unless YOU change… and YOUR Future self knows exactly how to reach you at this time in your life.
Where your body is gently whispering to you “make a shift” or you are needing to hear, to feel and to see the screams loudly, abruptly.
Either way you have all the resources within you and fuel for the transformational healing that is being called of you. To reOrganize resourcefully from the inside-out… to a whole another level in your body, in your health, in your well-being in your Life… personally and professionally
What you are currently feeling is an accumulation of life’s stress…
It is a state of “flight or fight” and in essence trauma or micro-traumas where you are locked in an inability to adapt to life’s demands and the winds of change life may bring.
Where all of our body’s resources are being used to get through on a day to day… in this survival mode, we have very little left for healing and repair and growth.
As Dr. Bruce Lipton says… “We can not be in survival and Healing and growth at the same time” They are two different animals… two completely different parts of our brain and our neurology.
Perhaps making a shift for you means “making a shift in the approach to your healing!
Are you constantly chasing the symptoms and focused on the treatment of the surface superficial symptoms whether it be from and eastern western alternative restorative therapeutic approach and not really addressing the underlying need for healing?
A “different approach” may open up a different outcome!!! For you, for your family, for your friends and loved ones.
Many of our patients are surprised that it can take something so gentle and is so easy to make a huge pivotal change in their results. Bringing a quantum shift on all levels physically, energetically, mentally-emotionally and even spiritually.
Your body can learn to heal again, feel ease again, feel at peace again, feel open and less tense again but not by doing the same things you’ve always been doing.
At this moment you might be finding yourself very… Curious? We are here to share what is possible… with a new approach…with a new mindset …a new perspective of your body and physiology through healing. How you can work with it and be empowered by your body… becoming empowered by the messaging from your body, that are trying to signal you, are calling out to you… to make the shift… to make the change from the inside-out.
That there is wisdom within this messaging that has been encoded in your genes and cellular expression… that you can learn from… grow from… heal from… and transform from without just trying to silence that message but, you can really gain the wisdom from these signals and cues from your future-self that is truly trying to reach out to you, transform you, reorganize you into the life, the health, the well-being, the prosperity, the loving relationships, the amazing life and human experience you are here to fulfill without any interference.
Come explore if this is the bridge to a healthier future… “You”
We would be happy to support you any of your friends or family members… in any way we can.
We have created a special event happening at Rilascio Chiropractic to acknowledge and appreciate our patients and our community.

Q-Link | Enhanced Well-Being, Performance & Quality of Life
Sympathetic Resonance Technology™ - The Science of Resonance
Physical science has shown us that every material object and every living thing has a natural resonance frequency or frequencies which are determined by that object’s physical structure. Science also shows that when something is exposed to external frequencies that match its unique resonance frequency, then that object literally becomes stronger, more stable and its natural energies more coherent. This natural resonant effect operates in human beings too, of course: we sense it, we know it, and we certainly experience its energies when we feel relaxed and focused, when we are surrounded by a close friend or loved ones, and when we literally find ourselves in nature.
Grounded in these scientific discoveries and reflecting human experience, at the very heart of all Q-Link® products is the proprietary crystalline core which we call Sympathetic Resonance Technology™ (SRT™). It is this SRT-core that reinforces the body’s resonance, returning it to a clearer and more balanced natural state. From the Latin root word resonare, “to resonate” literally means "return to sound"; so when two objects interact sympathetically, just like two similarly tuned tuning forks, or two friends coming together, their energies interact and amplify each other.
Q-Link products are programmed with an array of natural frequencies that resonate with the body's natural energy frequencies. The resulting resonant effect is similar to the healthy, energizing experiences we have in nature, in positive interactions with others, and while participating in self-balancing, restorative activities. And because it takes less effort and energy to maintain an object already functioning at more ideal “resonance frequencies”, the more often you wear or use Q-Link, the better it can work for you.
SRT™ has demonstrated its effectiveness in a wide range of experiments and research, including trials at U.C. Irvine, University of Vienna, and Imperial College London, all of which demonstrated significant effects on living systems.
Enhanced Well-Being, Performance and Quality of Life
Scientists, health and wellness professionals, and a growing number of academic and sports authorities are discovering and describing the vital link between the strength and amplitude of the body's natural resonance frequencies and a person’s corresponding sense of well-being, physical and mental function and quality of life.
Of course, we don’t really need researchers or doctors to tell us how important this is or that it exists, because there’s something in each of us and in our experiences that already understands this energetic connection. How else should we explain how our mental outlook instantly improves with just the right word, smile, loving look or touch from another or why we feel uplifted from a thoughtful compliment or action? And why do we feel physically and spiritually enlivened in the presence of a harmonious orchestra, in someone else’s triumph, when we meditate, think positively or in the exploration of our faith? That’s resonance at work!
Perhaps our best reference point for resonance being a key influencer in our lives is found in our inextricable link to nature. By just immersing ourselves in nature - our body, mind and spirit become balanced, restored and strengthened. We’re drawn to nature because it’s already in us, because we’re already a part of it, and it’s why we want to dig our toes in the sand, smell a salty sea breeze, sit in a park, lie out in the sun, get next to a roaring waterfall or gaze at a sunset glow from a high mountain top. In nature, we literally feel as if we are returning to our best-selves!
And that’s what Q-Link’s natural resonant frequencies are about – working for you 24/7, everywhere you go, in every situation and when you want and need to perform your best (especially when you’re under pressure). And that’s critical because, not only do our chaotic lives and uncontrollable stress filled lifestyles and environments take a toll on our innate resonance, we’re also often too busy or unable to regularly access or commune with nature or participate in resonance-restoring activities.
At Q-Link, more than 30 years of enthusiastic and sincere customer feedback paints a picture of lives transformed for the better and returned to their positive and energetic best: more vitality, creativity, resilience, focus, awareness, joy, higher productivity, cognitive function, dynamic potential, satisfaction, consciousness, more in “sync” at work and play, getting “in the zone” when it counts and being more personally integrated and in tune with others … are among the real life “experiences” that our customers report most.
And the beauty of Q-Link is more than just its effectiveness – their small size won’t get in your way, they require absolutely no effort to utilize and, of course, are maintenance free and will deliver years of worry-free use, enjoyment and value. Indeed, for many, Q-Link is a necessary and indispensable life tool. But the best way to discover how great a more resonant life can be is to try Q-Link for yourself.
Beyond Air Filtration
We Can Make A Difference
Now… We’ve all been in, “That Place” before, You know!
Where are you found yourself in… “That Place” and wanting to be in “That Other Place”.
Where you’ve seemingly tried everything to get from “Here” to “There” and yet nothing seems to change. No matter how hard we try, we are still “Stuck” in the same place.
Whether we’re suffering with an ache, pain, disease or illness. Where we’ve tried the best of Western medicine, Eastern medicine, Alternative medicine… We’ve tried potions, lotions supplemental therapies, etc… in hopes of bringing change and suffering less.
And Yet, We’re still “Stuck” in “That Place”… And at best our current state and condition we are finding ourselves in… is lingering or seems to be getting worse.
Which if we are honest with ourselves… is only stacking more mental and emotional stress while we are Trying to keep up with all of life’s demands, challenges and opportunities.
Where we’re finding ourselves less adaptable and less resourceful day-to-day. Which is only adding to our anxieties and overwhelm, feeling exhausted and depleted, to defeated, disconnected and quite possibly even feeling hopeless.
You’ve might of even said to yourself maybe this is the best it’s going to get and resolve to needing to take on managing your pain as your new lifestyle.
… and yet, In the back of your mind and in your heart ❤️ you know something needs to change… and you hear yourself saying: I just don’t know how or what to do and if we knew what to do or how to do it… it would already be done it by now.
I know, we can all relate to this… on some level.
When Dr Giovanna and I reflect on our practice … we are so grateful to say that Over the last 23 years, 95% plus of Rilascio Chiropractic patients come directly and indirectly from referrals.. From people just like you.
If you think about it. You were… most likely referred in by a friend or family member.
Wanting to help you, Just as someone help “them”… get from “That Place” of pain and suffering they were in to “That Other Place”… where they’re now experiencing more peace, ease and flexibility… They are expressing life with more energy and more joy… They are healthier in mind, body and spirit… They are just... happier, healing …and they are feeling free in their body and life… to the point where they’re living out the life they only could dream about in the past and even hoped for in the past or possibly even prayed for.
And… They thought of you… wanting it to pay it forward… they thought of you.
They wanted to help you to get from “That Place” you were in to “That Other Place” that has been so elusive for you in the past.
…And Now, you know 1st Hand what it’s like to have found a bridge from “That Place”
The pain, being stuck, the stress, the suffering to… “That Other Place” where you are now embodying… Peace within… ease and flexibility again… grace and flow… healing, freedom, growth and transformation… wellness and well-being.
… And Now, you know 1st hand what has made and is making the difference.
… and how our approach and paradigm at Rilascio Chiropractic is so different through Network Care and why we are getting different results… for you and your friends and family.
Instead of focusing on… trying to take a restorative therapeutic approach towards ones personal healing (whether that be eastern, western or alternative medicine and therapies) …by focusing on just treating the symptoms in hopes of trying to fix, restore or repair a person back to the state of health and life they were living before the onset of symptom, accident or crisis, the disease, the illness.
Our approach to healing at Rilascio Chiropractic comes from a different angle all together… Network Care is part of a Revolutionary model of wellness care called Reorganizational Healing and living by focusing our attention on your whole being… your mind, your body, your spirit, your energy and your emotions, your consciousness and energy… developing one’s awareness of personal perceptions of one’s own body and environment around them, their thoughts, feeling and emotions, the behaviors and actions you take and structures that we have… all set up that make up our lifestyle and how we are living.
Whether that be maintaining a state of survival or our ability to be thriving in our life.
As you Know by now… we live, and Heal, and express and experience life through our nervous system.
And when our nervous system is in a heightened state of stress whether it be short term or long term we become less adaptable over time… we become less resourceful over time and we become more stressed out… over time.
This only leads to more distress, disease, dysfunction, crisis, exhaustion to where our bodies start to break down and age… in an accelerated rate because ultimately our nervous system is no longer adaptable to the demands of life and what we’re asking of or demanding from our bodies.
And now, We’ve been able to help you turn it all around or you’re in process of turning it all around by…
#1 Helping your nervous system move out of that baseline state of stress and tension… Where we were Continually living in state of fight or flight to where your Nervous system is now adaptable and Functioning better.
2# Now… with a healthier nervous system, you are more flexible and adaptable, we begin to heal better and
3# Where we are arriving at “That Other Place” where you are feeling better and living better… where we are now transforming,… growing and evolving with our life and finding enriched purpose and fulfillment on all levels.
As you are reading or listening to this…
You are probably thinking of the friends and family members that have been struggling, suffering and stuck in “That Place” we’ve all been in and have made no progress… and we all know that it’s not because they have lacked the effort.
And we know that, We Can Help them get to “That Other Place”… that you are now living in.
Well Dr. Giovanna and I were thinking about this and we thought of a way to create a bridge to help you to continue find ways of paying it forward…
And since… Sharing is Caring! And can actually make a difference in someone’s life.
We decided will meet you there!
We have created a special event happening at Rilascio to acknowledge and appreciate our patients and our community. as a means of thanking you for your support and commitment to your health over the years…

|Frequently Asked Questions|
How does Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) compare to more traditional Chiropractic approaches?
Network Spinal Analysis seeks to restore health to the spine and the body by removing nervous system interference. This is accomplished by assisting a person in dissipating two types of tension from their body, Structural and Facilitated Spinal Tension.
In traditional chiropractic, the primary focus is to detect and correct vertebral subluxations (Structural spinal tension; vertebral bones out of alignment, placing pressure on a nerve). The subluxations cause malfunction and dis-ease of muscles, organs and glands.
In NSA, the doctor addresses the entire body and all of its systems, choosing not to focus solely on the subluxation (Structural tension) but also on Meningeal distortions (Facilitated tension; distortions of the spinal cord and the tissues surrounding the spinal cord).
It is the opinion of the Network Chiropractor that a subluxation is a symptom or manifestation of a much bigger problem. That problem is a combination of stress and tension patterns that have accumulated in the body (Facilitated and Structural tension). The stress and tension arise from physical, chemical and emotional/mental traumas over a person's life time. The body stores these traumas, which in turn create symptoms (ie. subluxations, pain, tingling, numbness, headaches, and the list goes on). Under NSA, the Structural and Facilitated tension patterns are dissipated from the body, which allow for optimum healing and wellness.
What is Network Spinal Analysis?
Network Spinal Analysis, also known as NSA, is an approach to wellness that incorporates low force touch, applied at Spinal Gateways, to assist the body in developing new strategies for living, healing, and optimizing individual potential. Under care, two spinal "healing" waves develop that help improve a persons spinal and neural integrity and adaptability. Much like tuning the strings of a guitar, practitioners uniquely modulate these waves through specific gentle touches. Over time this practice significantly advances a persons wellness and quality of life.
NSA Care is advanced through a series of Levels, each producing, in the mind and body, specific new capabilities that include making healthier choices naturally, enjoying life more, and developing a healthier spine and nervous system. N.S.A. also offers a revolutionary outcome assessment approach that combines self-reported wellness profiles, with practitioner clinical assessment. This helps track and monitor the changes in the individual over time.
Research performed through the University of California, Medical School at Irvine, proved that people under the care of Network Spinal Analysis practitioners, unequivocally, experience an improved quality of life. In addition, some of the top chaos mathematicians in the world now believe that the waves that run through those under NSA care are the fundamental waves of all living things.
The focus of Network Spinal Analysis is to:
Establish the capacity of your nervous system to detect and correct areas of tension, and impaired function.
Enhance your ability to generate automatic respirations and movements, which help your spine and nervous system to dissipate tension, increase circulation and energy flow, and promote healing.
Help you develop an effective and trusting relationship with your spine, nervous system, body and your healing process.
Monitor improvement in coordinated function of nerves, muscles, vertebra, and soft tissues that promote a healthy spine and nervous system.
Assist your body in removing spinal interference to communication between your brain and the cells of your body, increasing your body's ability to properly respond to its experiences, challenges and needs.
Help you develop lifetime strategies for self-awareness and healing.
Monitor your progress with periodic clinical re-evaluations.
Allow you to assess the significant improvement in your health and quality of life through a very wide range of indicators.
What is a Spinal Gateway?
It is the interface between tissue, energy and consciousness, an area of free energy that can be used to initiate healing.
What does a light touch contact at a Spinal Gateway do?
When a light force is applied to the body, research shows that there is a brain/body shifting from stress physiology to one of reassessment, growth and reorganization. Energy that was formerly bound in adaptive structural changes appears to be liberated for constructive purposes. Consequences of this are increased spinal and neural integrity and wellness. N.S.A. allows individuals to move from stress physiology to safety, and from safety to growth. As this occurs new strategies and spinal and neural outcomes develop which have never been reported elsewhere. N.S.A. care also elicits unique sensory and motor responses, two body waves known as the Somato-psychic and Respiratory waves.
Can such a light force make a difference?
The human nervous system is designed to respond to wind, the brush of a feather, someone whispering "I love you", the gentle touch of a loved one; the input into your nervous system doesn't have to be forceful in order for your body to know that something is happening or for changes to be made. What is most important is that your body is receiving exactly the right amount of information, at the right place and at the right time.
What can I expect during my visits?
During your visit, you will be asked to lie on a special table, fully clothed, while the practitioner checks your spine. The practitioner will palpate (feel) your spine and muscles and perform a series of parameter checks (heel tension, eversion stress, abduction stress, adduction stress...). From the information gathered, s/he will deliver a series of specific light touch contacts along the spine and allow your body to process that information. Then the doctor will re-check and see whether another entrainment is necessary. A typical session may be a few to a series of contacts, depending on the needs of your body at that time. Your visits take place in our open entrainment room, so there may be others in the area around you. The initial visit is done privately and includes a consultation, thorough health history, complete examination, digital computerized postural analysis, Surface EMG Scan, Thermography Scan.
What is an entrainment?
It is the full experience of being under Network Care. Entrainment is defined as the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. It is also defined as a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The principle of entrainment is universal, appearing in chemistry, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture and Network Spinal Analysis. The classic example shows individual pulsing heart muscle cells. When they are brought close together, they begin pulsing in synchrony.
The entrainment process is quite evident in NSA; it will (1) elicit two body waves (Respiratory & Somato-psychic) (2) resonate with the practice member’s feelings, (3) transform negative thoughts into positive thoughts, and (4) promote a state of liveliness, serenity and improved health and wellbeing. The entrainment creates a type of "mirror" that reflects the persons desired mood and feeling. As the energy patterns gradually transform, its resolution may be experienced in each person, physically and emotionally.
How will my body respond during the entrainment?
As the body releases tension, you may find yourself breathing more deeply and fully. You may experience slight movements or feel the need to stretch. Sometimes the body uses yawning or sighing, laughing or crying as ways to release tension. People under Network Care have reported experiencing a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness, where their body begins to reconnect with itself and the sensation of floating and a dream-like state often occurs. The stresses held in the body (physical, chemical and emotional/mental) just begin to melt away.
What are these 2 waves you speak of?
The two waves are appropriately called the "Respiratory wave" and the "Somatopsychic wave." These waves are unique to those under Network Care. The Respiratory wave is a breath wave that releases tension throughout the spine and body and brings a person to a deeper level of relaxation and safety. The Somato-psychic (body-mind) wave is associated with a dolphin like undulation or movement of the spine. This wave is an indication that the body and mind are fully connecting and entraining to one another. These waves are shown through research to be directly related to significant increases in wellness and quality of life. They both assist in the self- regulation of tension and energy states within the neural, osseous and connective tissue matrix of the body, and significantly enhance life enjoyment and wellness. These waves move "stuck" energy allowing the body to revitalize, energize and self correct distortions in alignment and posture. Once a person experiences these two waves they double their perceived wellness.
Has anyone done research on Network Care?
A study of Network Patients’ Self-reported Outcomes was conducted within the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at the College of Medicine and Department of Sociology, University of California, Irvine in 1994-95. The study demonstrated that patients under Network Care reported significant improvement in physical health and symptoms, emotional/mental health and symptoms, stress adaptation, life enjoyment and quality of life. Conclusion: 76% of the over 2,800 patients studied had improvements in all of the above categories, while 96% reported improvements in two or more of these areas. Patients reported changes in their physical symptoms within the first 2-3 months and reported their overall life enjoyment and quality of life continued to improve with the duration of care. There is no apparent ceiling to the level of health and wellness one can achieve while under Network Care. Presently, ongoing research is being done through the University of Southern California.
Why is it that we lose our health and wellness?
Researchers today believe that we lose our health and wellness because of the way we experience our world. When an event occurs that our brain determines to be unsafe for us to fully experience, the energy and information of that event is translated into vibration and tension, which is then stored in the body. It is not unlike the after-image of a camera flash bulb. Our body then "walls off" the offending energy and tension over time with muscular spasm, spinal distortion, reduced movement and reduced breathing into the area. This phenomenon has been termed "defense posture." Much of what many disciplines seek to correct through adjustments/manipulations, massage, acupuncture and various therapy modalities is often a symptom of this process. With Network Care the body learns to move away from defense and towards growth. This allows our higher brain functions to take control of the body and resolve these symptoms.
How long do I need to come for care?
That's an individual question; it all really depends on what your goals for health and wellness are. Research shows that significant changes in a person’s physical, mental and emotional state begin within the first eight (8) weeks of care. It also has determined that people under Network Care for more than two (2) years, were still showing improvements in all areas of health and wellness. Suggesting enhanced wellness accrues with time under Network Care. There appears to be no limit to improvement of a person’s physical health, emotional health, ability to adapt to stress, and quality of life. During your initial report of findings, we will help you plan your goals for care.
I'm pregnant. Should I wait until after I have my baby to start?
The answer is no! This is such an important time to make certain that your body is functioning at its optimum potential. The first 4-5 months of pregnancy, NSA care is performed without variation. After 5 months, entrainments are made while using body pillows and lying on your side, back and in a seated position. Network Care is a gentle and effective way to support a healthy pregnancy, delivery and postpartum and beyond for mother and baby. You will notice we see many happy and healthy families. Feel free to explore in conversation with them, they would love to share who they have benefited over the years.
Can Network Spinal Analysis help children?
NSA is a wonderful gift to any child to assist the body in developing wellness strategies early in life. It strives to help children perceive the environment with less stress, express emotions more effectively, have more awareness of their spines, verbalize a body sense, awareness, or emotion, make healthier internally guided choices, and meet the world with greater love.
In the course of care, it is common for parents to remark that their child's disposition has improved, that they learn better in school, are more at peace, sleep better and in general, seem to function without restriction.
We can establish new spinal strategies for infants and children that allow for greater self-observation and regulation of spinal tension patterns. It is extremely important for developing children and young adults to have a nervous system that can support a positive way of being in one's self and the world.
Will my pain and/or symptom go away?
Network Spinal Analysis helps the body to help itself. Rather than treat a symptom we help the person. When functioning improves then the need for pain signals often abates. The pain is only the signal, and not the problem itself.
Symptoms are warnings
Symptoms, diseases and conditions are warning signs that the body is overloaded and cannot properly deal with itself or its environment. Much like the temperature light on a cars dashboard. It comes on when the engines cooling system cannot deal with internal or external temperatures.
Symptoms have advantages
Pain will stop you doing things that may injure you further. Can you remember when pain stopped you from burning yourself badly? Pain encourages you to rest. Pain stimulates the body’s tissue healing mechanisms. A fever raises the body’s temperature higher than most bugs can tolerate. Vomiting or diarrhea gets rid of material the body rejects.
When will the pain go away?
I tell my patients that I do not want their pain to go away until their body is working better and no longer needs it. Network Spinal Analysis is a great way to get your body working better. When you let your engine cool, the temperature light will go out.
We have no way to judge symptoms
We have no reliable way to judge symptoms as good or bad. Just as vomiting may be a sign that our body is ridding itself of unwanted chemicals it could also mean more serious problems. Most symptoms are actually the body trying to heal itself.
Worried about pain and symptoms?
Diagnosing and treating pain and symptoms is the domain of Medicine. If you are worried about symptoms then please get yourself checked by a medical doctor you trust. There are times when medical intervention is entirely appropriate and it may even save your life. However, medical intervention is rarely a valid reason to stop Network care, and may not help you in your healing journey.
The Bottom Line!
The Goal of other holistic arts is often to return a person to a prior state of health. Network Care takes the person beyond the old self and enables both the doctor and the patient/practice member to continuously evolve new ways of experiencing their spine, their wellness and their world. N.S.A. is truly non-allopathic and offers a unique promise for the future of humankind. Every N.S.A. practitioner will do all in their power to assist your body in getting to the core of the problem. People under Network Care have reported great improvement and resolution of a wide range of physical complaints such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, muscle stiffness, eczema, menstrual cramps and dizziness just to name a few. The likelihood of your pain and symptoms being resolved is great, if you are committed to giving yourself some time to experience N.S.A. and are open to making appropriate life changes. Symptoms are truly a manifestation of something bigger.
Global Healing?
The most remarkable aspect of Network Spinal Analysis is that this new practice of optimizing human potential through the modulation of each individual’s vibratory frequency could well be the instrument that triggers the vibratory shift of the consciousness of the planet to a higher level. Like the 100th monkey phenomena, it is hypothesized that once a certain number of people on the planet are under consistent NSA care, a shift could in fact occur. Think of it as transforming a high school orchestra into the New York Philharmonic. That is the change in the nervous systems seen in those under consistent care. Which orchestra would you want to pay money to hear? With NSA practitioners around the world, and tens of thousand of people experiencing the benefits of NSA, the time could be closer than we realize.

Network Spinal Analysis
Discover Network Spinal Analysis:
Network Spinal Analysis, also known as NSA, is a Reorganizational Healing approach to wellness that incorporates gentle contacts, applied specifically at Spinal Gateways, to assist the body in developing new strategies for living, healing and optimizing individual potential. Our objective is not to restore a person to a previous state of health perhaps before the onset of a disease, pain, before the depression set in or even before the crisis took place in life. Instead our focus is to create a state of being, strategies for living and an access to resourcefulness that has never been experienced before!
While in care, two unique spinal “healing waves” develop that advance a person’s spinal and neural integrity and adaptability. Much like tuning the strings of a violin, practitioners modulate these waves by using gentle and specific touches in a consistent sequence. Over time this reeducation of the nervous system significantly advances a persons wellness, inner awareness, connection to themselves and others, and dramatically improves their quality of life and higher level of humanity.
During each season of NSA Care, the physiology and consciousness of the practice member develops new capabilities that include being able to self-reference and dissipate neural-spinal tension patterns, naturally leading towards making healthier choices, increasing your body’s ability to more appropriately respond to its experiences, challenges and needs, and helping you develop lifetime strategies for self-awareness and healing.
Transform through the two unique spinal “healing” waves
Profound transformation occurs through the development of two unique spinal “healing” waves.
The Respiratory Wave is a breath wave that releases tension throughout the spine and body and brings a person to a deeper level of ease, peace, relaxation and the inner experience of safety.
The Somatopsychic (body-mind) wave is associated with a dolphin like undulation or movement of the spine. This wave is an indication that the body and mind are fully connecting and entraining to one another. These waves are shown through research to be directly related to significant increases in wellness and quality of life. They both assist in the self-regulation of tension and energy states within the neural, muscular, osseous (spinal vertebrae) and connective tissue matrix of the body, and significantly enhance life enjoyment and wellness.
These waves move “stuck” energy allowing the body to revitalize, energize and self correct distortions in alignment (vertebral subluxations) and posture.
Awaken beyond the tension patterns
Our health and wellness is a direct reflection of the way we experience our world. When our nervous system experiences a physical, mental-emotional or chemical stress, trauma or event that it determines to be unsafe for us to fully experience in the moment, the energy and information of that event is translated as vibration and tension.
This protective defense is then stored in the body as we “wall off” or armor against the offending energy and tension over time with increasing muscular armoring and spasm, spinal distortion, emotional highjacking, limited flexibility and movement and restricted respiration and ease in the area.
With Network Care the physiology learns to access new options other than this habit of “defense posture” and moves from stress physiology and limiting “flight or fight” strategies towards growth.
This embodiment of growth is available by engaging the higher part of the brain, the frontal lobes of the cerebral cortex, the area through which we observe ourselves and make choices regarding our behavior. This is the most recently developed region of our brain and is the area through which we can reach a higher level of humanity, one which embraces spirituality and evolution.
Somato Respiratory Integration
Discover Somato Respiratory Integration:
Somato (Body) Respiratory (Breathing) Integration™ SRI - is designed to offer you new options in your experience of your body and your personal healing. Learning this body awareness technique educates you to your natural body’s rhythms and inner wisdom through focused attention, gentle breath, movement and touch. SRI provides you with a means of placing your attention on your body, the vessel of human spirit, and provides a tool for focusing your attention in a way that works for your healing and empowerment.
Somato Respiratory Integration™ exercises based on Donald Epstein’s book The 12 Stages of Healing: A Network Approach to Wholeness are designed to help the brain reconnect with the body and its experience. The goal Somato Respiratory Integration™ is to help you develop lifetime skills, safety, strength, wisdom and love in relationship to the experience of your body, its vibration, structure, and energy. Through reconnecting you through breath, touch, focused movement and attention, you are able to experience your body more fully and instantly shift your state of consciousness to one that supports trust for your body-mind and life experience.
Somato Respiratory Integration™ is revolutionary in that the approach includes specific exercises which link enhanced somatic awareness with respiration. It promotes the ability to focus attention on gross and subtle body movements and rhythms, self-directed breathing, awareness of one’s tension, and verbal statements reflecting one’s internal state. Associated with these exercises are self-generated dynamic processes, which dissipate energy stored as tension, enhance structural flexibility, increase the experience of safety within the body, and demonstrate characteristic shifts in states of consciousness.
It is unusual in today’s society for individuals to consider their inner cues as primary, and to trust their bodies. Paying attention to one’s internal cues and somato-emotional self through breath, touch, and motion involves a new paradigm that is advanced by Somato Respiratory Integration™.
Some are first motivated to learn this skill in relationship to a symptom, illness or crisis to experience greater safety within the temple of one’s own body. For many, SRI provides the connection with the embodied emotion, intelligence and spirit. For others, it is the desire to use the body as a reference beacon to their state of consciousness. With Somato Respiratory Integration™ you will discover how your inner perception and experience of the world determines to a great degree who you are, your overall wellness, and the connection to yourself. SRI contributes to your expanding sense of wholeness.
Through the use of your own hands, directed movement, focused breath, and certain well timed statements reflecting the inner state, you initiate mechanisms otherwise inhibited or unavailable.
Rilascio Chiropractic specializes in Reorganizational Healing through Network Care combining Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration helping individuals to create their own maps to self assess themselves and how to draw on their strengths. This supports new changes and creates a new baseline in life. Reorganizational Healing is about a real life practical understanding of oneself, and providing you with powerful tools so that symptoms, disease, problems, and life stresses can spark self-inquiry, wisdom, new energy sources and ultimately new actions to create a more fulfilling and resilient life. It is a model that focuses on life, health and wellness outcomes.
Reorganizational Healing was featured in May 2009 Issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, in an article entitled Reorganizational Healing: A Paradigm for the Advancement of Wellness, Behavior Change, Holistic Practice, and Healing authored by Drs. Donald Epstein, Simon Senzon and Dan Lemberger. Accompanying this article there is a guest Editorial by Dr. Robert Blanks, Reorganizational Healing: An Idea Whose Time Has Come.
Restorative Therapeutics (which is our cultural baseline and is observed in contrast to Reorganizational Healing) seeks to eliminate, reduce, control, restore or return a person to a prior minimal state, and is based on the emotion of fear and helplessness. There's been a cultural hallucination about this, which supposes that this is helping to heal an individual and make them more whole. There is however no intent to help improve the human condition or health/wellness of the person to increasingly more complex or deeper levels, beyond what existed before the condition or symptom, or crisis.
Restorative Therapeutic helps the individual and the society move away from the very processes and experiences, which can give more meaning, direction, understanding and impetus to create fundamental change and progress in life. They also severely drain the health care system in the overuse and over reliance on expensive and sometimes ineffective procedures. We mention this not to down play the need of this type of intervention at times, just that we as a nation cannot depend on this one focus regarding health, wellness and human resourcefulness. We must be able to creating new, evolving, more efficient and empowered states, in relationship to our life and well-being.
Somato Respiratory Integration, as an application of Reorganizational Healing in that it enhances and create conscious awareness and participation with the body as a tool to experience life with increasing depth of an internal connection and wider ranges of human expression.

What's Your Posture Saying About You?
—Check your state—
Posturing is a part of life: it influences how we structure and function in our bodies, our lives, our relationships personal and professional even our financial wellness etc.
...We posture our emotions: from passion, fear, joy, anger. excitement, depression etc. in an instant we reflect and broadcast these emotional states without saying a word.
...We posture our thoughts: beliefs, worries, stories, rules, judgements, perceptions etc. in an instant we reflect and broadcast our mental state without any conscious awareness.
...We posture when we are living in survival, protection, reacting and defending ourselves: to be “on guard” to life and all of its stressors, in this state our spine locks up and becomes more rigid and less adaptable reinforcing a stress physiology and nervous system in a state of fight, flight or freeze mode.
...We posture transformative states of action, growth, focused direction, creativity and follow through, simply by changing our posture we can change our resourcefulness to thrive, adapt and grow.
...We posture expanded states of grace, gratitude, love, compassion connection and purpose with a deep sense of awakening to the grandeur of life.
Each state of posturing: has a structural identity with corresponding functions and behaviors reflecting our current physiological state of consciousness flexibility, adaptability and emotional range it brings with it, directly influencing our genetics and our immunology.
As we posture different states of consciousness and our present perceptions of reality will shape our life, consistently reinforcing the unconscious pattern being played out through our neurology no matter what end of the spectrum your living from.
Dr. Donald Epstein (developer of Network Care) has been quoted for years, stating...
"The shape, position, tone, and tension of the neural-spinal system is directly related to the shape, position, tone, and tension in a person's life... When the spine cannot enjoy its natural, full range of motion, the body-mind is limited in the kinds of experiences it can have, as well as in the way it can express itself on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels."
Over the last 25+ years specializing as an Exercise Physiologist and Network Chiropractic Care doctor I have consistently found... Almost all postural challenges are directly related to the spinal misalignments (Vertebral Subluxations) and Spinal Cord Tension patterns reinforcing postural imbalance and most all of these imbalances start within the first 7 years of life.
We specializes in releasing and correcting these patterns and postural distortions.

We specialize Improving Postures from the Inside-Out... and enhancing your life experience.
Enjoy the TED Talk video clip by Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are.
Keep in mind, One thing that is not mentioned in the TED talk is...
Do you ever notice that you can focus on willing and affirming your posture and your mental and emotional states but, when you stop focusing on it you automatically return to your well rehearsed habitual state slouching back into these well conditioned habitual posturing with life and all it's stresses that come with engaging with our modern living.
Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how "power posing" -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.

We Are Powerful…
Yes, you are.
Click the button below to listen to a message prepared for you by Dr. Schuyler.
You are not powerless during this time of change. Dr. Schuyler shares a simple strategy to refocus to help us all into becoming more resourceful in times of uncertainty and change. Presently, we are all being called to reorganize physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually on all levels. With change comes free and available energy that can be either directed into creating new possibilities towards the betterment of our lives and our health and well-being or to redirect the available energy, as we are scrambling to recreate and restore our lives back to what has been, because its familiar and sustains our need for constancy.
Dr. Schuyler shared a story from when he went skydiving years ago...
After a long day of training and just before they were loading the plane, the reality of what he was about to do started to sink in and “Life got Real for him in an instant!”
He was placed in front of a video camera and asked to state... I am taking my life into my own hands, I understand that I could die today skydiving and I am taking 100% responsibility for my life and my actions!
Imagine... two instructors going to jump out of the plane with him, one on each side, holding onto an arm and a leg. As the plane was climbing in altitude/attitude, one of the instructors leans over and yells over to him as they are checking his parachute... just remember... when we get to the door of the plane and we are ready to jump.... we will jump on your command (((GO))). One last check... the instructor Looks into his eyes and laughs as he yell over the roar of the airplane door opening at 13,000 feet…
(((NO))) AND (((GO))) SOUND THE SAME.
They had one focus to get him through the 1 min. free fall and they made it clear that once he pull his ripcord the rest was up to him! Dr. Schuyler said, this was a pivotal moment in his life...
"What an empowering experience... to claim to the universe, to claim to God, to myself that I am taking 100% responsibility for my life... no matter the event, circumstance.
That I have the power to choose (((No))) or (((GO))) in every moment."
Dr. Schuyler invites you to remember that...
No matter what you are facing right now during this time of change.
No matter what life has brought you to remember that, you are not powerless...
You Are Powerful!
You have this moment as an opportunity to rise up into becoming healthier, wealthier, and wiser.

Frontal Lobe "Check Out" Stress Physiology
Frontal Lobe “Check Out" Stress Physiology
The frontal of lobes of the cerebral cortex (higher, or human portion) of your brain defines the sense of self, and enable you to assess the appropriateness of behaviors. It is that part of your brain that gives you a sense of the body-mind or emotion in your body. It helps you make long-term goals and ponder your life's purpose.
The higher brain (frontal cerebral cortex) is a region where more complex information is received and processed. It takes greater time to “upload” complex files to and within this most highly evolved portion of the brain. More simple messages about the limbs, trunk, organs, emotions, your body position and wounds are not as complicated of a “computer file” and can be handled easily and more quickly by the lower brain.
The body wisely and efficiently uses the lower brain areas to receive these less complex messages. This can save your life, when there is not enough time for you to process every detail of a threatening experience but you may need to act or react instantly too.
When the information received by your body and brain is perceived to be threatening, you'll need to either run away or fight for your life “Fight or Flight.. Freeze." The blood supply to the higher frontal cortex is diminished and signals are detoured to the more primitive and (reactive) lower brain. This part of your brain has already decided its action or behavior BEFORE the higher (more evolved) brain has had the chance to interpret the data, integrate the experience and choose the response most appropriate for your culture, your biology, and the expression of your uniqueness.
In such a stress scenario, there may not be enough time to place action "on hold" until you're higher brain carefully analyzes all of the details of the experience. Messages about our subtle internal cues, tension patterns, abstract concepts and emotions are low priority when your body perceived danger, or lack of safety.
When in stress physiology, a wider range or alternative adaptive strategies are not possible or desired. Tension in the body keeps awareness of these more subtle "files" walled off from your attention. This is a state of DEFENSE and root anchor wired into our neurology reinforcing stress response/reactivity and perpetuating living in a state of overwhelm, anxiety and PTSD.
What places us in the sense of stress physiology?
This occurs when the number of messages per second received overwhelm the brain. It may be in response to a physical, emotional, or chemical stressor. For example, when you're in a car accident, the messages about the position of your head, neck, shoulders, muscles, spinal joints, spinal cord, and the connective tissue are massively, and instantly reorganized. The higher brain is protected from sorting through the data. The brain and body locked into DEFENSE mode as the spine moves into a defensive posture.
Another way this may happen is when the information received by the brain is in conflict with our cultural story of how things should be. We determine what our lives "should" be like, and expected roles of others in the culture. When someone or circumstance violates our story of what we are entitled to in this life experience, a similar process occurs with the same results. Stress /Defense physiology is promoted by our perceived lack of safety.
When you are in defense, the more primitive parts of your brain are predominantly in control of your experience, your body and your life.
Trauma is stored as vibration
When an event occurs that our brain perceives as not being safe for us to fully experience, the energy and information of the event is translated into vibration, which is then stored as tension in the body. It is not unlike the after-image of a flashbulb. Our body and then walls off the offending energy and tension overtime with muscular spasm, spinal distortion, reduce breathing into the area and we reduced motion.
Until it is safe to experience that energy again and our body developed the strategy to accomplish this, we cannot digest the information from the trauma nor can we feel whole or be truly well.
Healing is reduced in defense, as is your ability to "find" those parts of your body that are the physical anchors to the alienated, isolated, abused, or denied energy that was never fully dealt with was also compromise when your body perceived the barrage of stressful input. Your ability to connect with, or touch those areas of your body, or to direct your breath into those areas also becomes impaired. You are unable to receive the message and "medicine" from that region.
In defense, you tense more easily and your physiology also more easily returns to and sustain a state of stress. This becomes the body's new functional baseline. In this state we become more structurally rigid or armored. Our blood pressure tends to rise, our range of motion and emotion is decreased, and our reaction to the new stress is heightened. The brain continues to perceive life defensively, produces stress chemicals and inhibits the ability to pay attention to the incomplete "energy" or "unfinished business." We focus upon the external threat to our stability, structure, organization, and identity.
Posture, muscular tension patterns, connective tissue tension, choices in life, and even spinal alignment are your emotional reactions to a hostile and defensive perception of the world. Many of us remain in defense throughout our lives. The higher (more evolved brain) rarely has the opportunity to develop its unique properties and evolve new strategies for living in experiencing life.
With Network Spinal Analysis / Somato Respiratory Integration (NSA/SRI), when you use your hands to touch your body, adding specific breath patterns, movement, and focus awareness, you can reconnect and safety to the body-mind and unlock its healing energy and wisdom. The body then moves away from defense and towards growth. It has an ability to reorganize at this point.
When feeling safe, the frontal lobes of the cerebral cortex may be given access to the previously unavailable files, which were locked away with vibrational anchors to the structural-spinal system. When we feel safe, we can evaluate present and past reactions for appropriateness. We can find ways to release tension, trapped energy, information, and distorted structures of the spine and body.
We can feel more profoundly, we can use the subtle information within to make healthier choices. We can be more compassionate to others, and to ourselves. We can activate "internal software" for experiencing life, changing our course, and for healing. Our brain can pay attention to the body's tension patterns, its spinal alignment, its posture, in its current state. We have moved from defense and stressed state to safety, and from safety into GROWTH.
In order to "fix" something we must first find it. Our bodies can better take inventory, as our brains feel safe to experience. Somato Respiratory Integration also along with Network Spinal Analysis care seeks to activate the self-observational and self-correcting strategies along with liberating the energy within to act as fuel for the internal transformation. Our hands instructed us to connect with the subtle vibration carrying the story of our lives. Our breath ignites the emotional brain to give more meaning to the vibration, and our higher brain gets to learn from our vibrational medicine.
We do not have to re-experience an event in our lives, as that would be a restorative approach. Instead, we need to connect with the body part that was locked up at the instant we went into defense and survival mode. This will enable us to use the bound up energy once directed towards keeping parts of us separate from ourselves. By accessing and optimize one's personal resourcefulness... now free available energy can be used to facilitate the process we know as healing.

Healing and Curing | Two Different Worlds
Healing and Curing | Two Different Worlds
The 12 Stages of Healing- A Network Approach to Wholeness
Dr. Donald Epstein
Healing has little to do with the removal of symptoms.
Rather, it is an intimate and integrative process that encompasses every aspect of our being – the entire spectrum of our existence.
Healing transcends the simplistic notion of jumping out of a hospital bed or getting up from a wheelchair and walking; it involves the harmonious alignment of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being and how we relate to the world. The result is a greater wholeness which is the birthright of every living being.
In his essay "The Spirit in Health and Disease," psychiatrist Laurence J. Bendit spoke of healing as a process of rebuilding one’s life anew from chaos and disorder.
Healing is basically the result of putting right our wrong relation to our body, to other people and ... to our own complicated minds, with their emotions and instincts at war with one another and not properly understood and accepted by what we call "I" or "me". The process is one of reorganization, reintegration of things which have come apart.
Healing and curing are not used interchangeably.
The word heal traces its roots to the Anglo-Saxon word hal, which means "whole," "hale," or "hearty." Rather than implying freedom from disease, healing involves root concepts like wholeness and wellness. These concepts imply self-empowerment, alignment, and integration, which enable us to fully express our unique potential as human beings in all aspects of life. Healing is often an uncomfortable process, but always empowering.
As we heal, it may appear that we are coming apart at the seams when we begin to wake up to aspects of ourselves that we were unaware of or were unable to acknowledge.
But as we begin the process of discovery, acknowledgement, and alignment, our entire being is given permission to change.
Through the natural, automatic release of old thought patterns, blocked emotions, and rigid ways of being, a new sense of respect for all our aspects and rhythms comes about. This is similar to the subtle, quiet, yet purposeful opening of a flower. In healing, no new magic is put into us and nothing is taken out.
Curing, on the other hand, implies that someone is trying to eliminate our disease, symptom, or crisis, most commonly through medication, surgery, psychotherapy, or other modalities.
In the words of Janet F. Quinn, Ph.D., R.N., professor of nursing at the University of South Carolina,
Curing may be conceptualized as the elimination of signs and symptoms of disease. Typically people enter the health care system when indicators of illness can no longer be ignored. The signs and symptoms will be treated with medication, or if the signs and symptoms are severe enough, hospitalization will ensue. If, after a certain course of treatment by surgery and/or drug therapy, the signs and symptoms no longer exist, then we say that the person has been cured.
Curing has an important role. It offers us the gift of time so we might better understand the deeper significance of our symptoms. Curing can also offer us a greater degree of comfort to facilitate the process of realignment and redirection.
When used as a stepping stone or rest stop to healing, curing can be beneficial.
However, the way curing is regarded today can often deny the possibility of healing rather than facilitate it.
Curing as an attempt to control our experience generally interferes with our ability to move into the unsolicited experiences we need to restructure our lives. When this occurs, instead of propelling us forward, curing holds us back.
Healing, leaves in its wake a sense of accomplishment, fulfillment, and empowerment… Curing does not.
Healing involves surrendering control of our inner and outer experiences.
Curing involves an attempt to control our internal and external environments.
Healing promotes wholeness, an uninhibited expression of natural rhythms, and unprovoked forgiveness. Curing seeks to label the effects (not to causes) of disease, place blame, and give explanations and excuses for undesirable experiences.
The Spiritual Aspect of Healing
The spiritual side of human nature is an essential, yet often overlooked, aspect of the healing process. The word spiritual comes from the Latin spiritus and spirare, meaning "to breathe" or "to blow." Spirit is something that cannot be seen, but can be experienced. In the poetic words of an anonymous teacher,
There is a force that is unfathomable, omnipresent, unnamable, and omniscient. This intelligent and loving force stands behind and guides the evolution of physical manifestation. Spirituality is the label used to describe what occurs when we connect with this source.
The source of spirituality has many names:
Organizing Wisdom, Great Spirit, the Christ Within, the Atman, or God.
Connecting with this source is an automatic process that often occurs when we least expect it.
Rather than being the result of searching and seeking, spiritual truth occurs by removing the blocks that prevent our knowing it. It is like being in a dark room and opening the blinds to let sunlight in. By opening to our spiritual nature, we open to the new and the unexpected.
According to Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham in The Spirituality of Imperfection,
Spirituality points, always, beyond: beyond the ordinary, beyond possession, beyond the narrow confines of self, and – above all – beyond expectation. Because the "spiritual" is beyond control, it is never exactly what we expect.
The spiritual aspect of healing involves tapping into the deeper levels of being where our innate intelligence resides.
As we connect to our inner rhythms and greater sense of wholeness, we begin to experience the rhythms, wholeness, and interconnectedness around us, which eventually expands to include the entire human and planetary community.
Holistic physician and psychiatrist George L. Hogben described healing in Spiritual Aspects of the Healing Arts,
Healing may be defined as miraculous unfolding of consciousness for one’s being inthe world. We learn who we are, what and who really matter to us, how to express ourselves fully and openly.
Ultimately, the healing journey leads to an intimate union with God through the experience of the flow of God’s spirit within. It is a slow, arduous passage, unique for each individual, filled with danger and risk, triumph and joy, and finally, peace, trust, awe, reverence, love, tenderness.
Healing: A Broad Scope
Healing goes beyond dealing with a health problem or a healing crisis.
It can also be used to enhance your relationships, career, financial investments, dietary habits, spiritual life, approach to education, the goods and services you use, and the institutions and causes you support.
It is not intended as therapeutic information for any physical or emotional condition.
If you feel you need assistance from a health professional at any point in the healing process, please seek help; in some cases, doing do may even prolong your life.
But do not confuse Curing with Healing.
After you have addressed your immediate health concern, and you are out of impending danger and feel more comfortable, I invite you to return to the Twelve Stage healing process and move along the spiral path towards wholeness.

Healing Myth | Healing Magic
Healing Myth | Healing Magic
by Dr. Donald Epstein
Reprinted from The New Times
We all have stories about how life is "supposed to be". There is a certain sense of entitlement deeply anchored in our body/mind that has been transmitted through our culture. These stories often guide ustoward destructive choices that may add to our illness, block our appreciation of healing, and even kill us. I refer to those 'cultural hallucinations' as myths. I believe that the right healing magic can help break the spell of our illusions, and help us to reclaim our power to heal.
Our beliefs and expectations color our perceptions of life experiences. We experience symptoms, crises, and events by first reacting with our socially programmed 'emotional brain'. Our physiology has already reacted before the 'higher brain' has had the opportunity to process the incoming information and to assess the appropriate behavior. The higher brain determines if what we are feeling or sensing is dangerous or benign.
However, this brain information "processing center" has already been programmed by the prevailing cultural mythology. The emotional or knee-jerk type of response to the situation may override a more appropriate response. In my book, Healing Myths, Healing Magic, I divide our beliefs into four categories: Social, Bio-medical, Religious, and New Age.
Like all illusions, the power of our healing myths diminishes when they are recognized for what they truly are, stories that we can either accept or reject. I invite you to entertain the possibility that you are more powerful, creative, prosperous, and compassionate, and have greater healing resources, than you have ever imagined. I invite you to share my personal story that all beings are part of one community, that you are not alone, and that your experiences are not in vain.
You do not have to eat primarily from Tree of Knowledge to survive. You can receive the fruits of the Tree of Life, through which your biology, rather than your understanding, is sacred. Through fully experiencing your biology, you can express spirit more fully and live in a state of grace. From this space, you can gain true knowing, growth, and healing. As I present some myths, you may be tempted to disagree and insist that theyare not myths at all. The stronger that feeling, the more likely that particular story is deeply rooted in our culture and in- grained in your personal physiology.
A very powerful social myth is: In healing, to be average is normal and therefore desirable. 'Non-average' is considered pathological or deviant, something to be controlled by the culture of the physician, therapist, or court. Rather than applauding those who stand out from the crowd for their unique abilities or unusual accomplishments, we are suspicious of those who do not conform.
Our allopathic view of the body follows the same lines, and its applications are intended to bring everyone toa 'safe normal' or average. 'Normal' in a laboratory test does not mean 'healthy'; it just means average.
If this myth influences your life, you may respond to a concern
by asking a doctor, "Is this normal?'
If you question whether your behavior is 'normal', or if you wait for the results ofa laboratory test to decide if you are healthy or sick, I suggest that you read the following statement, or 'magic', out loud and make it your affirmation for a day:
"I have no need to be average or normal. I surrender the need to fit into the expectations of others at the expense of my own evolution. At times, upon claiming my wholeness, I may look, sound, or 'test' non-average. I joyfully celebrate my loss of normalcy, and claim my authenticity, sanity, and health."
Today, the New Age myths resonate strongly within our culture. New Thought has brought about many shifts in human consciousness in the past forty years. Concepts such as the interconnectedness of life, a desire to heal the rift between our physical and social environments, and the questioning of old paradigms in relation to government, business, education, and religion are all products of New Age thought.
Central to these tenets is the belief that we create the major and minor events in our life through individual intent, thoughts, feelings, and will. When this New Age ideal is viewed through our prevailing or old mythology, where the Tree of Knowledge is our mainstay, serious health consequences occur. What results is the construct that through knowledge, or though proper thought, we can have dominion over our environment. This can be expanded to mean that God, Goddess, or the gods are subject to our thought or will, and presumes that we are knowledgeable enough to know what needs to be changed or controlled.
There is often a desire to replace masculine with feminine, to replace the first and second sexual centers, or chakras, with the heart or crown energies. There is the assumption that being sweet, loving, positive, or pure is more powerful and healthy than expressing anger, resentment, force, or sexual energy. Sweetness, avoidance, intention, and transcendence often replace authenticity, confrontation, action, structure, and experience.
We may not speak with our parents or others because they disempower us, and instead choose to sit at the feet of our guru. We may break up a relationship or quit a job when it no longer feels right or good. We take the full spectrum of experience and eliminate those aspects of consciousness that do not fulfill the mythology of our behavior in this subculture.
If we have pain, we choose prayer, herbs, energy medicine, natural remedies, forgiveness, or love rather than drugs or surgery. However, the same old story remains, although the means or applications we choose to control our experiences have changed. In both cases, the story is that what we are experiencing is bad or wrong and needs to be controlled or eliminated. Often the New Age mythology leads us to believe that being healthy means liking one's experience, and that the experience needs to be gentle and loving. Therefore we believe that emotional, mental, or spiritual purity has not been achieved if we feel or perceive something that does not fit our picture of entitlement. This New Age mythology can be counterproductive to our healing.
I spoke about this myth at a public lecture. At the end of the talk, a woman in a wheelchair maneuvered herself toward me with tears streaming down her face. She blurted out, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She went on to say that she was an incest survivor, and had asked herself why she created her stepfather having sexual relations with her. She was also tormented over why she had created her son committing suicide, why she had caused her uterine cancer, hysterectomy, a divorce, a tornado that destroyed her Texas home, and, finally, her multiple sclerosis.
Over the past twenty years this woman had felt progressively more guilty and helpless over a series of events. She bought the myth - you create your own reality - hook, line, and sinker. The power of this myth in her life made her feel responsible for situations that were largely beyond her control. Tremendous damage to every system of the body resulted as she continued to shoulder self-blame.
In that lecture I stated that although we do set forces into motion that can influence certain outcomes, many circumstances are apparently independent of our volition, actions, intents, and desires. At times, the main lesson to be learned is that the universe does not personalize events. Certain events occur within or around us that are, in fact, often in spite of us.
The woman mentioned that as I made these statements, she felt as though a heavy weight was removed from her chest, head, and legs. She told me that something magical had happened to her during the talk.
Her thinking was changing, and for the first time in over twenty years she did not feel like a "waste of humanity, a worthless piece of flesh." She looked deep into my eyes as she held my hands and said, "It is not for me to create my reality. It is for me to experience what I experience without having to judge or make up a story about it."
I do not know what has since happened in this woman's life. I do not know if she regained the use of her legs. Becoming ambulatory in itself would not, however, be "proof" of her healing. I suspect that in questioning our cultural mythology, she was becoming more whole than she had been since her childhood. As she created a new story, the healing process would have led her to different choices, different actions, and a different life.
As an antidote for the prevailing "you create your own reality" myth, I suggest the following healing magic:
I am not responsible for creating my external reality. I am responsible for my internal state of mind, emotion, and vibration. I am responsible for focusing my attention on my inner environment in relationship to my life circumstance. It is my gift to become aware of the state of tension, pain, or ease in my body/mind, and to accept my experiences - pleasant or unpleasant - with non-judgment and love.
Healing is about the person inside. It is not the circumstance of the moment that is of concern. Healing is about becoming more whole, not about a predetermined outcome or type of feeling you desire. Healing is instantaneous, although visible outcomes may take time. Healing can occur 24 hours a day with or without a trained professional, and is free for the taking.
People will tend to seek out practitioners whose procedures are consistent with their stories. As you heal, your stories will spontaneously change. I encourage you to read Healing Myths, Healing Magic and examine the 34 myths that have placed a spell on our healing. I invite you to invoke the magic that can break the spell of these illusions and help you to reclaim your power to heal.
