Goals & Objectives of the Fascia Memory Project

=> Integrating these three elements of R&D -in both hard and soft sciences- will require constant and consistent interaction, interdisciplinary communications feedback systems, and a great deal of cooperation across a relatively broad spectrum of healthcare disciplines, including for developing Myo/CT-Scanner Assessment Database, as well as with healthcare technicians, who will be constantly testing and developing new scanning device prototypes.

=> The diagnostic equipment should be sufficiently accurate to show specific mental-emotional relationships or "body memory" as related to most any physical symptom, injury, acute or chronic pattern, etc. Their accuracy and dependability should eventually be such to encourage broad application in health care.

       2) Development of Advanced Therapies & Rehabilitation Applications Systems
  => Most importantly, research based on this R & D should result in the ability to develop highly individualized, multi-level applied, and amazingly efficient Preventative Health Maintenance programs. The scanning and assessment devices are to be designed for applications in all realms of medicine, to include (but not be limited to) all manner of physical medical rehabilitation, counseling and related therapies, Psychiatry, Occupational Therapy (as well as in Social Corrective Services, and institutions for any of the above - see #4 below). The use of diagnostic equipment as researched and developed by the project would be an instrumental part of these applications, being highly integrated into the methodologies and approaches used.

       3) Public Education in Body-Mind Awareness based Preventative Health Maintenance in all grades of public school.
=> The objective sought being that, by the end of high school, each student should have the capacity to read ones own body-mind, to the degree that one should eventually recognize internally generated *body-mind cues,* and appropriately respond with application of appropriate preventative health maintenance and/or appropriate use of professional intervention.
  Body-Mind Cues: intuitive signals originating from and for the purpose of communicating about ones own body-mind. Ideally they are appropriately timed to indicate a needed change - including any pre-emptive application by self and/or with assistance by qualified professional, of preventative health maintenance, on mind and/or body level(s). Cues would be based on acute symptoms, chronic patterns, body-awareness, "body-memory," etc. For many students, the knowledge and skills learned should translate to the ability for application on all levels of health.
=> Public Education in Body-Mind Awareness based Preventative Health Maintenance would be conducted via regular TV programs as well (besides the game show mentioned in Subsidiary Objectives below), although there would be conditions and testing applied for qualification particular to each course/level/range of instruction.
=> The diagnostic equipment would need to be accurate enough to convince scientific authorities of relatively specific mental-emotional relationships long before such classes could be developed and instituted with any confidence by the education systems.

4) Social Corrections Rehabilitation Application, via systems for rapid diagnostics & assessment of individuals to assess specific degree, type, and level of structure and approach needed for correction and rehabilitation.
  => The results should be used to appropriately place individuals in a graduated tier learning system, with movement & graduation thru the levels earned through testing and monitoring. The final graduation should be effectively indicate a truly rehabilitated individual ready and healthfully motivated for contributing to society, with no need to return for more institutional training or therapy.

Summary Result of Above

Most individuals in society would injure themselves less often, with less severity, and would heal much much quicker without having to resort to expensive care. Hospitals would be needed less often, could be downsized with the space left-over devoted to preventative maintenance or rehabilitation classes. We would cease to provide settings that strongly encourage many institutionalized or incarcerated individuals to re-injure themselves, act-out unsocial or anti-social behaviors, let alone commit more crime when released. And we would provide the necessary resources for relatively individualized rehabilitation in a relatively very short time. As a result, within a few generations following the accomplishment of the above three objectives, there should be a greatly reduced need for investment in healthcare, corrections related rehabilitation, and law enforcement.

Seven Main Objectives in Research & Development

1) Various existing scanning devices - ie: CAT, MRI, PET, and Bio-Feedback - will be used in the initial phases of R & D for Developing Connective Tissue or Myo-Fascia Scanning & Assessment Device(s). One of the 1st main objectives is to develop a "Myo-Scanner" or "CT-Scanner"- that will more efficiently & less expensively perform the assessments necessary to determine the desired properties noted below - without the need for other equipment, and combine the most needed of all those and more. By design/goal this R & D will be intertwined with Psycho-Neuro-MyoFascial Correlations Assessment R&D.

2.) To Assess Bio-History of Connective Tissue (including current response to environmental stimulus), including "chronic" as well as "acute" injury conditions and during recovery/ rehabilitation; same (eventually) for other bodily tissues;
       a) to determine potential in diagnosis of pathologies on various levels, including emotional & mental;
       b) to determine potential in assessment of factors related to somatic-memory recall experience;
       c) to determine potential in assistance to various modalities of treatment

3). To research pain referral phenomena: physical as well as psycho-somatic factors; relationships between physical, emotional, mental, bio-magnetic neural field response under varying conditions, PNI (psycho-neuro-immunological) relationships, effects of medications on connective tissue and operation of neural networks, neurotransmitters, hormones, etc.

4.) To research subjective somatic awareness capabilities and relation to PNI, preventative maintenance strategies, techniques, and devices; potential of subsequently developed public-use myo-scanner devices to assist in the fore-mentioned.

5.) To research Spinal Fluid flow/rhythm, brain tissue expansion and compression, and related cranial movement dynamics; related Bio-History and Pathologies; CNS-associated memory recall as related to somatic memory recall.

6.) To research potential of subsequently developed Public-use myo-scanner devices (and computer hardware & software) to assist in Myo-Scanning for both home and institutional uses, as per prescription or permission as per user-qualifications, parameters, and laws as may apply for usage. Includes capacity for acute injury assessment for seeking professional assistance, guided data entry for medical history, rehabilitation of injuries, various pathological conditions, as well as obtaining feedback for further fine-tuning calibration of myo-scanning systems. Some models would include virtual reality systems for application of various therapies. Devices and/or Applications would also be developed for less serious conditions, for chronic self-treatable conditions, and for personal self-application of general preventative health maintenance, including these particular types:
       a) General Out-Patient and Home Use Applications (employing both hardware & software) including capacity for Myo-Scanning, Assessment, guided data entry for Medical History.
       b) Personal Growth Applications: same as a) but including personal growth related journaling, & Virtual Reality systems for application of various, if relatively limited therapies.
       c) Same as b) but including additional formats for Body-Mind-Spiritual Integration Applications, Rehabilitation & Mind-Body Preventative Maintenance.

7.) To research relationships of above research-determined factors with PSI/Paranormal experience.

What Can We Do Right Now?

What can we do right now? First off, by "we" I mean anyone who has an interest in seeing this project initiated and it's goals accomplished. Pulling the "we" together, of course, is one of the primary functions composing official project initiation, and that will happen in time. Those who want badly enough to see this happen will become a part of making it happen. How? Meanwhile, many of the initial research objectives are very likely on their way to being accomplished, even though their accomplishers may not have a clue about the potential application of their research to this project. Therefore, at any point in time prior to official project initiation, we can research to find, assemble, and analyze any/all previous, on-going, or planned research that may be applicable to the project. IE: Studies into the interpretation of MRI and any other scanning equipment and methodologies would likely be key to the project. So would be research into the use of aura imagery and other multi-level biofeedback systems [see info on "Aura Station" and like devices]. Who am I and what am I doing as part of that "we," you ask. I am simply a practitioner spending much of my time to meet my budget (which is one of a simple lifestyle), as well as keep up with my writing and artwork and maintain a web site (which does not earn any income). I very much welcome your assistance if you have an interest in seeing the project accomplish its goals.

Fascia Memory Project Subsidiary Objectives
[Green blocks at Project Overview Chart indicate fund-raising capacity]

(1) "Muscle Dance" or "Muscle Madness" TV game Show:

Envisioned to be entertaining as well as radically but wonderfully instructive in preventative health sciences, while financially effective for the project's promotion and funds procurement. To provide the best hybrid of sports televising and game-show hosting, with competition matches in fine muscle control. Close monitoring and "score-board" stats to be facilitated by myo-scanner prototypes; the earliest models of which should work well for this purpose. NOTE: Personal computer applications would also be developed and sold for game show play-along, as well as for home-use preventative health awareness building. (This "game" style approach would likely be one of the modes in the home-devices referred to in above sections).

And if done right, it would provide valuable education as well as well great entertainment - imagine your funniest co-host with some of the contestants would be there to spoof it up, others would be famous athletes flexing it out trying to compete against average yogi practitioners. With an occasional yogi performing fantastic feats, not to mention roundly out-performing all the others. Deepak Chopra or Shirley McLaine might find themselves quite at home on this stage, speaking their minds on TV and have a hoot of a time doing it. We could all get really creative with this. Not to mention giving so much opportunity for others' education, perhaps a twitch of enlightenment. All the latest health science and informative news updates would be tossed in by contestants or announcers, quick documentary video's, etc. Thus to re-educate and maintain viewer awareness in Yoga, Body Building, Body Mind Awareness, Preventative Health Maintenance, Psycho Neuro Immune Health, etc.

Imagine a game show type environment, with the 'master of ceremonies' and a guest comedian or other celebrity conversing and commenting as noted above, and you can't help but notice the highly lit "cages" on either side of them, slightly above the stage. Here are suspended two to four contestants, each sitting in his/her own open-air booth, with four large screens by each. Two screens show read-outs both digitally and graphically charted, the stats for each contestant's individual capabilities. Another screen is for occassional video's of a contestant's history to be accompanied by the MC's narrative. Most exciting is the 4th screen with real-time video of individual muscles working in competition, digitally outlined and color coded for clarity, are of a quality that far exceeds the current best MRI video-photography, illustrating their muscle and tenden dynamics as they working the different anatomic structures.
These dynamics, now fully measured in every property, digitized, charted, and videographed, include the *tension range*, or the maximum optimal range of tension between fully relaxed and fully contracted, and the switch rate between the two, thence *work/rest ratio*. As well as texture, strength (resilience/ fatigue), and degree of muscle isolation/efficiency, relating to whether or not either contestant is using the "Correct" muscles for the job. The video and read-outs might also show circulation system volume(s) and related stats.

All thus indicating the contestants' fine muscle-control/awareness, even as it ebbs and flows with a contestant's abilities to focus and coordinate the body-mind. And doing it in an intriging way, whether for beginners or biologists. More about how & why the above noted muscle properties are useful/important at What's Different And Special About "Tensing Yoga"?

(2) "The Great Family Bus on 101"
A prospective teaching tool for children a Book for teaching Preventative Health Maintenance to Children, based on a Multi-level Metaphor with different levels of the bus relating to physical, emotional, mental, and other levels. A good way to teach about sub-personalities as well (ie: who gets to drive when, etc.)

(3) Sales of many other Project Outputs (devices, publications, services) for Recovery of Project Investments

"Chalice-Star with 3 Magi 6a2" Holiday Card Chris Pringer 2002

"Atomic Chalice III - Gold on Black" (Thumbnail), Chris Pringer 2001 ABOUT THE SYMBOLIC ART: The symbols for the "Chalice" - or Holy Grail - that I often use are drawn essentially from ancient archetypes - including the symbol(s) composing what is known as "The Star of David," which symbols actually pre-date(s) any such reference by many centuries or more. They all have their own rich meanings as related to the spiritual dilemma or paradox, balancing or synthesis of qualities (such as Yin & Yang), and healing transformation. Here, the Chalice is essentially a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally. The "Chalice-Star" over the three traveling magi is used in my Solstice or Christmas Card design to represent our quest - in this earthly dimension of body, mind, and spirit - for the inner-most Source of one's spirit and faith -- whether that would be the Inner Christ, Inner Buddha, Inner Mohammed, or the Divine Mother's Spirit connecting All Life, etc. You may find out the actual origins of my relationship with these archetypes at Home Page for Body-Mind-Chalice Integration (and related artwork).

Also Please Note as needed: I have yet to ever sell -or give permission for anyone else to sell- any of my artwork on E-Bay or anywhere else - Dec'07 ...Feb'11 ]

AUTHORSHIP & ORIGINS: Unless otherwise noted under the titles or artwork, all essays, artwork, prayers, pages at my web site, as at my previous site at AOL (Fall'97 to Spring'06) -- and with exception of a very few and diminishing numbers of the solid color and cloudy-sky color backgrounds, bullets & bars, and the logo/headers from or revised for others' sites (as noted) -- has been composed, created & rendered, and web-authored © by myself, Christopher Pringer, practitioner in Body-Mind-Energy Integration Therapies since 1984, ordained minister since 1987. Actually on August 17, 1987, "Harmonic Convergence Day", with New Age Fellowship, Seattle, WA, more recently with S.H.E.S. (International Assembly of Spiritual Healers & Earth Stewards Congregations, SHES.Org) in 2001 for/as "Chalice-Bridging Body Mind & Soul Ministries" Most of the personal health-oriented essays at this site were written in the early 90's, as compared to the social/political/peace oriented pages since 1997, with the proposed Fascia Memory Research Project first published in 1996, and the "Evo-Trends" perspective in 1995. I have been gradually improving their style over the years, including the dates of revisions therein.

DISCLAIMER: None of my writing or artwork is intended to be, to replace, or discourage the appropriate use of, medical attention and/or treatment, but as educationally informative for the purpose of overall health enhancement and preventative maintenance. So far as I know, I have not quoted any other person without saying so. I have emulated a number of writers and teachers, so I wouldn't be surprised if many of my statements have similar words and meanings as they. In any case, I have always tried to say what I believed, and when knowingly restating someone else's words, I say so (except perhaps in annotated links to their web sites).

Professional Bio & Training

Chris Pringer, 2011

Chris by Artwork
(a 2005 photo over 2009 artwork)

Chris at Massage Chair, 2005
I began my studies in multi-level self-healing when in the service, in Thailand in the Winter of '73. The focus then was on self-help psychology, consciousness, and eastern and western mystical perspectives. This continued through my university studies in Norman, OK '74-'79. 1980 took me into naturopathic studies, primarily nutrition and herbology when I lived in Oklahoma City. Not seeing the naturopathic doctor route as affordable at the time, I found direction via a five-evening massage course, Fall '83. That led to a six month professional practice, followed up with the training in Sante Fe, NM, '84-'85 (detailed in my on-line brochure).

Since then I have practiced massage and/or healing facilitation for others, initially in Santa Fe, NM (during/after my training), then San Louis Obispo, CA, and Seattle, WA (with more courses along the way). This includes exploring personal challenges and self-healing methodology. A session may include various energy-body-work modalities, Body/Energy-Awareness based Preventative Health Maintenance Instruction, Cyclist Therapy, office stress treatments (in a chair), or only Reiki or relaxation work in total silence. A client chooses based on whatever stress, pain, or concerns are present at that session. A client may request a "Body Pattern Reading," as well as various massage/bodywork therapies, all of which techniques are listed & described in the Body-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure. Individual, program, and 3-6 week interval-based rates are available. Testimonials are available (on a separate page).

My professional interests have primarily centered in three areas:

1) Body-Centered Psycho-Spiritual Process (as in "Hakomi" style of) counseling and bodywork, including as assessing an individual for the most efficient means of addressing connective tissue injury, short and long term (on physical and/or emotional levels). Related are the basic hows & whys of storage & release of tension and "body memory" in the muscles and fascia. And in the fascia memory storage dynamics - referring to the technical aspects of neuro-physical interface between connective tissue, emotion, and the brain);
2) "Chalice-Bridging" style chakra balancing, including Reiki (energy work) - based in the view that we each are a bridge between Father & Mother God/dess, & thus form a chalice for the balancing & integrating of Humanity with the Divine. Or at least ideally so, as our systems are *attuned* & our batteries are *charged* & we fullfill our true role as human embodiments of Spirit.
3) Therapy for Cyclists and other athletes, related injuries, and preventative maintenance. In April 2011 I responded to a request to offer Century Ride Packages (pre & post 100+ mile rides). My experience with cyclists at that point, including for minor and major injuries, tallied to over 1200 hrs.

My training includes
Over 1700 hours of classes and practicum, including with the New Mexico Academy of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in Santa Fe, NM (1984-85), and with various accredited bodywork and therapy workshops (`86-present), as well as 100 hours training with the Alchemical Hypnotherapy Institute (1989), over 100 hrs apprenticeship with healing practitioner Robert "Mitra" (`85-`86), 150 hours apprenticeship with Silena Heron in Herbal Studies (`83-`84), Training, Certification, & Empowerment as Reiki Master (3rd Degree Johrei, 1991; Kundalini Reiki to 9th Level w/Gtunmo & Devic Template, 2004). For the detailed version my training, you may go to the latter half of the Body-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure. Which also includes (and relates context for) links to essays elaborating on aspects of imbalance and injury, assessment, and healing.

Personal Notes or Quotes on Body-Mind Awareness [ cp, 12'07 ]

BODY-MIND AWARENESS, at the core of preventive health awareness, is one of the most simple, efficacious, & cost-effective forms of HEALTH INSURANCE there can be. Hence, massage is far from just "a luxury item," and bodywork therapies can be indispensable for the healing of certain conditions.

MUSCLES RELATE TO ATTACHMENTS - to what we use to take our stance, to hold our place, to perceive and respond to our environment, and to extend who we are and/or want to be. Or used to be (in too many cases, perhaps).
That speaks not only to the body's condition and function, but to how it communicates awareness of where one is along one's path (of becoming who one truly is).

THE BODY IS . . . among other amazing things, a unique communications system -- intimately linked with one's TOTALITY.
Establishing rapport with one's body can be a PATH to self realization.

ONE OF MY DREAMS is a society where/in all children are taught how to feel/see/read their own body-mind communications such that preventive health maintenance eventually becomes second nature. And actually, for the most part, they would be encouraged to re-awaken and build upon what I believe to be a NATURAL INCLINATION - conscious self-healing and continuous expansion of awareness.

And the above goes FOR ALL OTHER ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES, to the degree that one utilizes them to improve such awareness and causative/pro-active connection with one's body-mind, and to employ the most effective tools for maintaining/improving one's health under any given condition or circumstance.

WHY DOES BODY AWARENESS = OPTIMUM HEALTH INSURANCE ?
And How does "Body-Parenting" relate to that in Body-Mind Integration ?
