Latest Quantum Health Magazine

Here is the latest edition of a magazine that has, for me, a fascinating slant.

The Quantum Health magazine is one of the most relevant, to my particular questions, that I have found. Healing has been a fascination with me always coming from my background of having polio as a two year old. In looking at the idea/reality that health/healing reveals, I’ve researched and written about it on many different levels. It has been a journey, which has brought me up on Quantum Theory and its implications. Check out Quantumly Curious for more, if you are interested.

Grateful for You, My Readers

Cosmodic Musings

Over the last several months we have worked with the Modific device developed by Alexander Karasev, the inventor of the SCENAR. This device has both the Cosmodic and Scenar modalities in it, and is nearly completely automatic. For instance, it decides whether to use the Cosmodic or Scenar modalities on a particular spot. It is claimed that the focus of this new technology is regeneration of the tissues. In using it over the last few months, we have noticed some things about it.

1. It is quick to use, sessions usually are only 30 minutes in length.
2. It is easy to use. Basic ability can be learned in one training.
3. It appears to noticeably improve general health with ongoing sessions, and in some situations relieved symptoms of issues that were not the complaint we were working with. Enlarged prostate symptoms seem to be dramatically relieved.
4. It appears to soothe the nervous system and improves mood during a session.
5. It is not as sedating as Scenar and leaves a “spacious” feeling on spine after session (as reported by clients).
6. The sensation level is automatic (although it can be overridden and operated manually). It can vary wildly while holding it on spot, but the signal is so gentle, that even at increasing sensation levels, it doesn’t bite or become too intense. The signal doesn’t appear to have the “edge” that the Scenar signal can.
7. For us, working with Scenar for the last nearly 7 years, the Modific provides another perspective with which to evaluate what is happening in the body.
8. It is not as quick acting on chronic conditions as Scenar can be.
9. You cannot “stroke” the skin with it. It is a spot by spot kind of device. One of the strengths of the Scenar is in being able to search the skin for possibly related asymmetries. Thus, finding asymmetries doesn’t seem to be as easy and exact as with the Scenar. Additionally, being stroked with the Scenar is soothing and relaxing to the client.
10. Support for the Cosmodic is very limited. It doesn’t have the organization behind it that Revenko has with RITM. That lack is very much like our experience in 2005 with the Scenar. From what I was told in a Modific introductory session last spring, Karasev is the “mad scientist” in his lab pursuing the goal of regeneration through vibration, and not really interested in such things as business and marketing, FDA approval, etc. I have no idea about the truth of that, but judging from the lack of structural business support and affordable/available training, it would seem that is the case.
11. It is a delicate device, never to be dropped, and ergonomically it is extremely difficult to hold. The Scenar, which is not ergonomically the best either, is more of a workhorse: reliable, less expensive batteries, and easy to care for (I have to admit dropping my Scenar several times in the time I’ve been working with it, but it has never failed to work).
12. There is a limited network of practitioners here in this country. Scenar has a large network of practitioners, with training and support available. Revenko provides training here twice a year.

We have used the Modific and SCENAR together, which seems to provide the best outcome. They appear to compliment each other and enhance the overall healing effect. Time will tell where the development of the technology of both devices goes.

More Musing About Healers

It has been nearly a year since I first posted musings about healers and healing.  I continually muse about this, trying to get a fuller picture of the amazing process I engage on a daily basis, both within myself and also with others. I encountered a description given by Abraham that gave me a fuller insight into what healers are about, which made so much sense to me that I wanted to share it:

“Every person who lives any experience that takes them in the slightest degree away from well-being, begins to summon well-being. And to that, Source responds, so no one on the planet needs to be a healer in the sense that they need to get energy and focus it towards someone who needs to be healed.

The power of a healer is someone who understands that the basis is one of well-being, and then influences the vibration of the one who needs to be healed in a way that they stop the resistance and allow the natural healing process. That’s what true healers do. They know so powerfully that wellness is the order of the day, that they allow themselves not for a moment to see anything other than that.

So, the power of the healer is in the power to influence the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows the healing that they are summoning, that they could get without the healer, but that they can get faster with the healer’s influence.”

It is getting clearer…

1.1.11

Here we are standing at the beginning of every possibility. A clean slate, a new page upon which will be written the experiences of our lives. It always gives me pause to wonder what the new year will bring as I look forward with the hope and excitement of creating the reality of my life during the next twelve months.

Before Christmas, by complete accident (?), I happened to watch an interview with a lawyer turned author who had written a book about an endeavor he had accomplished during 2009 where he had written 365 thank you notes over the course of that year. Because of my understanding of the impact of gratitude on physical health and well being that had come to me through my work with clients seeking pain relief with the SCENAR, I knew this book would give me a new insight into what has become a fascination for me: Parasympathetic Mind. So, as soon as it came out on December 28, I bought the book and found that I could not put it down.

As a result, I have decided to try this experiment myself and my intention this year is to write 365 thank you notes. My first thank you note is to you, my readers.

To the readers of Healing Innovations blog:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my sincere and best efforts in writing about what I do and what I am learning as a result of  this life path that I am engaged in. Your comments letting me know that what I am writing has meaning for you keeps me going. One of the filters of my life experience now is whether or not something I’ve encountered might be of interest to you. Your presence adds a new perspective on how I see the world, and that helps me grow in my own understanding of how to live in a state of Parasympathetic Mind. For that, I can never be thankful enough.

Best,

Penny

Wishing you all a year that brings you healing, joy, and success in every way. Life is good.

101 Ways to Create Parasympathetic Mind

In clearing out stuff, I came across something from my career in mental health: a laminated rack card called “101 Ways to Cope With Stress.” It now being many years later, I read through it with new eyes. I realized that most of the recommendations were ways to calm the Sympathetic Nervous System response. Some were unrealistic, some not helpful, and some (for me, anyway) would create more stress. So, I decided to take the idea and add what I have learned from working with SCENAR and the Parasympathetic Nervous System for the last 6 years. (This list is not in any order.) Morgana Morgaine, life coach and humorist, defined Parasympathetic Mind best: “Relax, Rest, Release, Restore.”

If you have other helpful ideas about creating Parasympathetic Mind, please feel free to comment. (For more information about releasing your own neuropeptides and balancing your autonomic system, go to the Healing Tips page.)

1. Take 10 minutes before you get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night to quietly focus on your breathing. To keep your mind focused you might count your breaths up to 5 and then start over. Take any moments in daily life when you are waiting (red lights, grocery store lines, etc.) as an opportunity to remember your breath. Simply take a deep breath and notice your body relax.
2. Have a SCENAR treatment or lay in the Multilayered Therapeutic Blanket. Learn what Parasympathetic Mind feels like.
3. Prepare for the coming day by thinking of those things you will be doing that make you feel good.
4. Reach for any thought that makes you feel better in any situation that feels stressful. Pay attention to how you feel. If you feel bad, find a thought, any thought, that makes you feel better.
5. Forgive negative people and move on to interactions that feel better to you.
6. Have fun on purpose. Seek to feel joy.
7. See challenges as opportunities to see things differently. Look for the silver lining.
8. Regularly write down what you appreciate in as much detail as you can.
9. Go outside and enjoy the sunshine or curl up with a good book when it rains.
10. Learn to care for and comfort yourself.
11. Make it your intent to find and hang on to any and all things that inspire you, especially thoughts.
12. Make a list of your personal attributes that you value and using 3 or 4 of them write a Mission Statement for your life.
13. Notice negative self-talk and stop. Then remember your Mission statement.
14. Use affirmations and/or mantras to remind yourself that you want to feel good.
15. Practice grace when under pressure.
16. Feeling good activates the Parasympathetic nervous system. The Parasympathetic nervous system activates good feelings.
17. Pay attention to the moment. A moment missed is a moment lost and unconscious moments make for unwanted consequences.
18. Remember that stress is an attitude. Remind yourself that you are NOT a victim.
19. Quit judging or trying to “fix” other people. It only makes you feel bad.
20. Look for options. In any conundrum, ask yourself, “What are my options here?” You will quickly discover that options give you a sense of freedom and control.

Musings on the Cosmodic Device

The technology that surrounds the SCENAR continues to evolve. The engineer, Alexander Karasev (who first developed SCENAR), continues to work with the concept of assisting healing in the body through electro-bio-neuro-feedback. The Modific (his newest device that can treat as the Scenar or as the Cosmodic-and decides which is best for a particular location automatically) is the latest evolution in Karasev’s desire to create the ultimate healing device.

His Cosmodic device is a more advanced technology than the SCENAR, which, it is said, restores body functioning at the cell level. It restores body functioning using both general organism potential used in SCENAR technology plus cell potential at the genetically inherent level, which provides rejuvenation effects.

We are exploring the potential of this healing device. My business partner, Kathy Austin, is presently developing a practice related to pain relief using the Modific. Just as we did with the SCENAR, we are letting it develop organically, working only on those who know about it and are interested. This seems to be a more authentic way of development, and fits who we are, albeit it is slower. It is also giving us a chance to assess its effectiveness. Read more »

Musings on Healers and Healing

After the last five years of working with the SCENAR and watching people make amazing recoveries, I have to ponder the nature of healing and what the term “healer” really means. Certainly I don’t really consider myself a “healer.” That term seems to better fit shamans and those people I’ve met in my life who have a deep power about them, where one feels healed somehow just to be in their presence. And I have a bit of an issue with the term itself. The word “healer” seems to imply that people should depend on others to do their healing for them. My work with SCENAR makes it very clear that it is the client’s body that does the healing. My function is simply to remind it, in case it may have lost the thread.

A paradigm of “healer” that better fits what I feel comfortable with has several components. It would include  the following aspects:

1. A healer must act from a position of unconditional positive regard for the client.  A personal humility and profound respect for the client is imperative. The relationship between the healer and the client must be egalitarian, as two sojourners together finding their way home to healing; for in truth everyone is a healer, and every relationship carries within it the opportunity for healing to each one involved. To be a part of this kind of relationship, the healer must work on themselves so they can effectively work with others. With enough inner work, the healer can pay attention to the “feeling level” with a client and can discern non-verbal communication at an intuitive level. This creates the “gentle knowing” that can guide their approach to the client’s dis-ease.

2. Healers must be educators and facilitators such that people can begin to recognize their own needs and begin to have a sense of power to take charge of their own well being. In doing so, they can deepen their intuitive relationship with their own inner wisdom. They can listen to its messages not with fear but with confidence and trust that whatever the message is, it is leading them toward healing and they can participate cooperatively with it. In this way, healers can help clients transform their thinking from negative, defensive ideas of social conditioning to positive, empowered, and hopeful attitudes that grow from self-knowledge and trust in one’s own inner knowing.

3. Development through training with the particular modality expands the healer’s understanding of how to be the most effective in its use. The modality should be a passion for the healer, but never to the point where they believe that it is the “only modality that works” or is the “best modality available.” Only the client knows what is the best modality for their healing, and all healing is ultimately individual. A healer should only be interested in assisting the client to find the modality that works for them. If a healer’s modality is not a fit, they would best assist the client by suggesting other possibilities that might be.

The power to heal rests in the one looking for healing. Healing is a mysterious process. Although science knows much about physical healing, well being is created through the synergistic alignment on many levels of inner and outer experience. To me, a “healer” is one who is willing to walk with their client, with deep caring and a sincere interest in being of assistance, as they both journey toward wholeness.
