Research & Development for The Fascia Memory Project

NOTE: "Myo/CT- Scanner" refers to the devices that would perform as noted below;
"prototype" refers to those devices that are developed based on existing devices and project
purposes subsequent to finished device developments.

PROTOTYPE Progress:

* The prototype(s) will progress to combine the end- desired capabilities of existing
equipment combined with those end-desired capabilities developed through the research
process, and will operate via computer & software -- toward/for the facilitation of the above noted purposes.
  * In process of assistive diagnosis, the Myo/CT-scanner will develop comparative scenario/ hypothesis and determinations -- based on extensive database access and process capabilities, combined with operator-programable prioritization for selecting which data to give more weight to in the interpretation, diagnosis, and prognosis determination process.
  * The prototype(s) will progress to be able to "read" the outputed data, photos, scans, etc of other devices (including X-ray and CAT/MRI Device output), and progress to capability for making interpretations for inclusion in the Myo/CT-Scanner Assessment Database by which it developes comparative hypothesis and determinations. Osteopaths specially trained in myo-fascial injury assessment would be essential in developing this capability.

  * Existing devices (Bio-Feedback Devices, X-ray Equipment, CAT Scanner, & MRI Device [& The Prototype(S) Developed In Research] are used as necessary in research to:
       help both determine and perform NBE Field assessments
       perform all measurements deemed related to test purposes
       develop database to record specific capabilities and limitations of each device in its performance of each aspect of the assessments. Keep records of those devices that get phased out. This will be used to to assist in development of "Myo-Scanner" software database.
* CAT/MRI Scanners are used to help direct the calibration of the bio-feedback and the development and calibration of device prototypes (?)

Prospective Myo/Ct-Scanner Assessments/Properties:

The following will make more sense having read about the "Sensor Field Arrays" (SFA; see Fascia Memory Theory)
* Measure ELECTRICAL: Voltage, Current, Frequencies, Size of Frequency Orbs; PROXIMAL: size & proximity of area neural systems to other membranes in same affected area as well as to neural systems and membranes in other areas of varying distance/status; neural system ELASTICITY. Compare/Relate electrical states with Proximites and Elasticities.
* Measure area cell densities, cell moisture and related area ratios, fascial surface friction, myo-fascial elasticity
* Measure shifts and Shift rates of above properties under conditions
* Conditions incl. during and after stasis, movement, treatment (especially including touch-related and energetic modalities (massage, accupucture, chiro/osteo, cranial-sacral, Reiki, Polarity, etc.), and post-mortum, as well as in-utero (with exception to devices/assessments determined detrimental to child in-utero).
* Correlate Findings (of other devices, of other research also):
* Determine relation between above determined properties, myo-fascial changes/degeneration/improvement, objective medical assessment , subject's subjective experience.

Some Research Objectives, Questions to Address

Some key objectives are noted here in the form of pertinent questions to be addressed by preliminary and/or ongoing research. These are questions that the myo/ct-scanner will be designed to effectively address and respond to -- for any given condition or set of conditions (ideally), for an individual or group of individuals:

General Preliminary Research:
  Q: Who is doing the following research, or similar, or related research (past, currently, and projected), what has been the results so far, and what are other useful details about such research?
   Q: What, if any, coordination and integration of the following research has been facilitated (who, when, where, etc), to what extent, and with what results?
   Q: What are the (past, current, and projected) means of assessing the STATE (from early stages of formation to various stages of transition towards "chronic" state, and from any one of the above states toward various stages or states of healed tissue and full recovery of cell function) of a given case of scar tissue, myofascial adhesion, strained segment of muscle, tendon, or ligament tissue ?
   Q: What are the (past, current, and projected) means of assessing the CHRONOLOGY (each stage of formation and transition) of a given case of scar tissue, myo-fascial adhesion, strained segment of muscle, tendon, or ligament tissue?
   Q: What are best means of keeping current with noted Research for each change in status or findings, prioritizing which data of that is most applicable to overall and specific research projects?

Fascia Relationships Preliminary Research:
  Q: How and to what degree is it effecting the smooth movement and balance of connective tissue around it as well as of tissue in areas of correlated postural compensation,
   Q: What is the exact relation of these elements to the performance of various operations by surrounding nearby bones, organs, connective tissues ?
   Q: By what means and How accurately have we been assessing the projected chronology of rehabilitation for various conditions ?
   Q: How, and to what degree might [the above factors] have been related to any/all states of a disease conditions, to chronic pain, to significant events related to an individual and to significant people in an individual's life, and to subjective attitude concerning ability to heal.

Fascia Related Device Preliminary Research:
    [A Database Constructed to organize results so that one can quickly learn just how applicable any given device has been for assessing each situation or condition.]
  Q: As regards Fascia Relationships Research, What devices (past, current, and projected) are used and/or usable, and to what degree, in assessing ...
a) ... as regards Above Fascia Relationships Research.
     b) ... as regards 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:
            - to determine potential in diagnosis of pathologies on various levels, including emotional & mental;
             - to determine potential in assessment of factors related to somatic-memory recall experience;
             - to determine potential in assistance to various modalities of treatment
     c) ... as regards 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.
     d) ... as regards Spinal Fluid flow and 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.
      e) ... as regards 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.

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) the Jewish faith 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.

That disclaimer said, you may find out the actual origins of my relationship with these archetypes at Home Page for Body-Mind-Chalice Integration (and related artwork). If you feel well served by what you found here, I would certainly appreciate your support. Although there is virtually 3 large books (and probably over a thousand hours) worth of written material and artwork here, nothing has ever been sold at this site (although I do promote my therapy practice and desktop publishing skills). In any case, IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BENEFITED BY YOUR VISIT TO THIS SITE AND WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT THE WORK HERE (which support this site may depend on soon), please check out the Chalice Bridging Ministries / PolyPsyArts Support System.

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.

Professional Bio & Training

Chris by Artwork
(a 2005 photo over 2009 artwork)

Chris at Massage Chair, 2005,
w/Beard in 2001 and 1984 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. 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, 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.

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, and the most efficient application of the results of that assessment (on physical and/or emotional levels);
2) in the basic hows & whys related to the storage & release of tension and "body memory" in the muscles and fascia. and in the related fascia memory storage dynamics - referring to the technical aspects of neuro-physical interface between connective tissue, emotion, and the brain);
3) "Chalice-Bridging" style chakra balancing, including Reiki (energy work) - based in the perspective that the chalice, far more than just a cup in this interpretation, is about the human embodiment of Spirit into the three "lower bodies" (mental, emotional, and physical) which compose the "Body-Mind". Which is also a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally.

My training includes
over 1370 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 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 ?
