At this site I have focused on the nature of integration and wholeness -- that is, on the pragmatic (eg: functionally useful & daily appreciated) synthesis of one's Body, Mind, Emotions, and the "spiritual interface" of these with one's Higher Power, and the maintenance of this interface as necessary for living "in the world," while one simultaneously develops within oneself the highest potentials one is capable of. Thence comes the term, "Multi-Dimensional."

The (50+) pages ref-linked below, Organized by sections, are my own contributions to the art and science of body-mind integration. So far, the first essay listed provides the best Introduction to the general and more practical body-mind concepts. Other pages have been selected for the "Intro Set" (for going deeper and/or broader into these topics, that is). There are other essays on Correlations Between The Different Aspects Of Being, on The Emotional Body, on Prayer, on Organizing Life Approach & Understanding, on Body-Mind Principles in Societal Re-Education And Preventative Health Care, on Question-based Techniques, and on Considerations for Healing Practitioners. (The links to pages with Self-Applicable Techniques are marked with "_«T»_" ) |
THE BASIC HOW'S AND WHY'S OF PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STORAGE IN THE BODY-MIND. A Semi-Technical Treatise on the Storage & Release of Tension (Published In Massage Magazine, July-August 1992) For Self-Healing, Body-Mind Awareness, & Preventative Maintenance (revised 7/02, 9/02). Technique is explained for context and self-application. Includes many subtopics as well as link to an illustrated sheet of "Low-Intensity Low-Back Exercises. _«T»_ Illustrates the dynamic relationships of Spirit, mind, body, and emotions, as well as the inner-child-parent-family, including the cells, organs, and body systems. Based on the "Re-Parenting" approach to personal growth & self-healing, it describes what I call "Body-Parenting," an approach I consider primary to Body-Mind Integration. The page also includes a little artwork in surreal symbolism, "The Chaliverse." A perspective on an approach to and regard for life, one's past and present, as well as a basis for personal growth and/or therapy. I could've called it an integrated 'Gestaltist-Humanist-Buddhist-New Thought' perspective. (You could say these are my main sources, from among the various "schools" of psychology and correlating approaches to application of therapy.) Questions & Considerations for "Body-Mind Integration and the Chalice" This outline serves as an index in itself, as it also interconnects key considerations with links to other essays at this site for elaboration. Written from the perspective that each human being is a 'cauldron' of four distinct bodies - an experiment in learning and evolvement, to say the least. Includes "Positive Response Questions" (PRQ's) designed specifically for learning and affirming principles of this topic. _«T»_ Transcript of an on-line discussion among healing practitioners and students about Integration of Body, Mind, & Spirit (an intelligent & insightful exchange, tho' very long) [While this isn't one of my essays, the topic matched the others in this section, and my two cents was added here and there] Suggestions & Resources for Considering Receiving the work as well as for Vocational Considerations. This page might also assist in understanding some basic body-mind concepts. Considerations in relating a transition in diet & nutrition to personal and spiritual growth, and the benefits of such transition Mind-Body Relationships and one's Life Path. How the body has habitually responded to experience is evidenced by the body's holding and movement patterns. Related to this are ones *coping mechanisms, *challenges, and *gifts. "On the path" (of one pursuing consciousness being) these aspects are there to be discovered, emotionally cleared, and then employed as mental/emotional assets and guidance towards determining and accomplishing life goals.

Positive Response Questions (PRQ's) designed specifically for Personal Empowerment. _«T»_ Removing limitations to Creative Intelligence If this link doesn't work, you may email me about the information that I've been putting together for some years. The basic message of it all is not only that we don't know how intelligent we are. But that we can, by releasing emotion-based, protective "coping mechanisms," and thereby various beliefs (some conscious and some not), greatly expand the operation and skills of existing mechanisms or tools related to cognition, intuitionand especially the integration of the two, and the communication of the results of all that. And it is communication that greatly effects how IQ is measured, by the way. But the greater "secret" is *ACCESS* to the noted "tools" that create and work with, as well as create, the data bases. _«T»_ A Cosmology of what is here referred to as the 'Emotional-Body' - that which provides the motivation or 'drive' for any sustained focus, decision, stance or action. It is the degree of emotion that makes the difference between a held belief and a mere passing thought.

In the interim the VusPA is here for students choosing alternatives in peace, to facilitates resources and connections to institutions of higher learning for lasting global peace. In utilizing this site, young people can also create a vital and permanent record of their sincere desire and choice to learn and wage the arts of peace, rather than the art of war as taught at the military academies - as well as establish Conscientious Objector Status. |

Other Wholistic Healing Related Sites: --excerpts from "The Science of Healthful Living:" A great deal of information has been put together on this page. Note: People should know that there are health supplements that would be effective but may not be due to their being multi-level marketed in a disgustingly non-informative manner. I refer to the more unpleasant "cleansing effects" or "healing crisis" that some may experience from such supplements. Knowing the principles on this page, one may better take advantage of such events. Links for naturopathic medicine resources have been put on this page. And it's sister page is ... - Steps & principles telling how to transition -gradually & successfully- to a diet that promotes & sustains optimal health for body, mind, AND the planet, even from the standard American diet. Incorporate this approach as slowly or as quickly as you can maintain. (If done too fast, you may find it too uncomfortable, then bounce back to the old ways, so would just be a waste of time). Includes a Food-Combining Chart for optimal digestion and assimilation of nutrients, as well as for proper elimination. Other sections included: "Transition Diet," "Rebuilding Diet," "Three Day Apple Fast And Seven Day Cleanse," "About Cleansing Reactions," and "Efficient Body-Sizing Strategies (for Weight Management)." * If you're into the study of Consciousness:
WHY DOES BODY AWARENESS = OPTIMUM HEALTH INSURANCE ?: Body-Mind Awareness -- as the bottom line of preventative health maintenance -- is one of the most simple, efficacious, & cost effective forms of health insurance there can possibly be. Why? Focused awareness to the body, which occurs naturally with massage therapy and energy-work, brings circulation of blood, nerve, and bio-magnetic energies, and thereby all of one's natural healing capacities to the cells. Therefore, circulation improves where caring attention is directed, especially if focused simultaneously from within and also from a practitioner. Cells do not complain (with pain signals) where circulation is plentiful - except in cases of acute injury, emotional distress, and one type of headache. Learning “body-mind” awareness, which (I will say) is promoted more easily and naturally during massage therapy and energy-work than any other activity - thus becomes the bottom line of preventative health maintenance - and equates to health insurance. All that this insurance costs then, is the time it takes to apply one's awareness - other than the cost of the sessions once or twice per month perhaps. But with the sessions you get all the other benefits as well: clearing of lymphatic channels, relaxation, clarity of mind with a break from daily routine, clearing of muscular holding and movement patterns (actually a big part of body-mind awareness, but one that is not as easy to retain when not receiving regular sessions), and for some, a safe place to talk about whatever and, if desired, receive the benefits of counseling as well. Like kids, cells do best if we keep them fed, clean, and feeling loved. And as we learn to give them healthy messages and especially to just listen to them, they will tell us what changes need attending to. And, like kids, they will adapt and find a way to cope -- if at all possible, under most any condition, if you tell them they have to. But how would you like the results of getting used to living underfed and unclean? "Used to" means adapting just as inner-city kids have. (e.g.: They are not always the most easy to get along with, cooperative, or happy kids you've ever known, I suspect.) It works the same for the cells in the body. So how do we remedy such a situation? Well, of course, first we fix the supply system and take care of those basics. Secondly, we remedy the attitude that got them that way or else they will never feel they can drop the coping mechanisms and learn what a happy communicative, sharing lifestyle is about. More on that mind-cell relationship can be found at "My Cells -My Children" & other metaphorical prose for the 'Body-Parenting' Approach to Mind-Body Integration Likewise, cell systems will adjust based on our messages to them, even those that are counter to long-term health. They can actually maintain those adjustments for a whole lifetime if they don't get a corrective message. I.E.: If we, as infants, often needed to tense ("armor up") various muscles for emotional or physical protection (when adults around us acted insensitively or worse), we most likely continued through adulthood to hold various muscles in an overly tense state. Muscles need to know what relaxation is, as well as what intense work is, in order to have an appropriately full range of tonicity/contractedness, and to find the right tone for any given condition. With body awareness, we enhance our senses naturally, as well as provide opportunity for our self-healing mechanisms to be turned back on, and thereby give the cells the corrective messages about tonicity, circulation, function, etc. Sometimes we will receive insight about a corrective action we must take; i.e.: by newly feeling the need to adjust our posture or some kind of bodily movement, or even due to reviving memories (that were previously suppressed). Details of these processes are explained in the essay, "Body-Mind Integration in the Personal Growth Process" - The basic how's and why's of psycho-emotional storage in the body-mind. A set of short summary personal quotes on body-mind awareness are in the Professional Bio Section. Preventative Maintenance is discussed further in the next section.
HEALING AS RELATED TO BODY-AWARENESS Taking a step further with the "Body-Awareness = Health Insurance idea (above):If it is true that "God helps those who help themselves," or that "the door to the heart opens from the inside," and if it is true that humans learn by exercising free will and making adjustments based on the results, and finally, if the body-memory (Myo-fascia-based memory-storage) operates as noted and referenced above, ... then it most probably follows that the amount of God's healing energy flowing into our cells (and lives in general) depends on how much we allow -- via our conscious or unconscious messages to our cells. And might the doors to the cells be on the inside too - via our attitudes? And if such considerations have merit, might it not follow that such circulation of energies (via our thought, feeling, and action) is the only thing that does heal a cell, organ, system, living organism, situation, etc? And if that were true, what could be more effective than focused awareness on our cells, which massage therapy naturally encourages ? (And yes, so do various self-applications such as Tai Chi, Chi Gong, and yoga, including "Tensing Yoga"). To the body-mind, cells are the most basic source of reproduction, instruction (DNA), and metabolic energy. Each cell is a *nuclear-powered* cottage industry, that no human technology has even come close to matching in energy production efficiency. Many cells have the capacity of transmutation (eg: changing one element to another - ie: silicon to calcium - although science has yet to explain how), as well as other highly specialized functions. They are the physiological basis for each living organism, therefore for life itself. Question: Is it conceivable that each living cell is a living bridge, a Chalice, by which the Father aspect of God has joined with the Mother aspect of God in order to create life on earth ? What would make this bridging connection stronger; what would open further the cell's doors to the Divine ? How about certain kinds of thoughts and feelings of unconditional love (or prayer, meditation, imagery, or some activity that encourages a similar focus) ? Some ideas on that:"Notes on Beliefs, Healing, and Prayer" -- Practical considerations and a little science to boot. (This is not an answer to the above questions, but the chalice, essentially, is far more than just a cup in this author's interpretation, is about the human embodiment of Spirit into the three "lower bodies" (mental, emotional, and physical) which compose the " |
