Body Memory - The Missing Key to Self-Healing

  1. Ref: Somatic Defination of HMR (further below)

Have you ever met an old acquaintance that seems to have gotten younger and healthier since the last time you saw them? It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, it’s exciting. It tells us that the body can let go of old habits and correct problems even at a cellular level. This area has become very interesting to many people in the fields of health and psychology, who feel that physical patterns, which were considered unchangeable, are in fact less fixed than we used to believe.

One such researcher is Charles Daily, who over the past seven years has been experimenting with a new approach to assisting the body to release its internal limitations. After a long and successful career in natural medicine, acupuncture, and chiropractic, Dr. Daily was still concerned that most patients kept showing a characteristic personal "syndrome" of complaints around which they defined their own level of health as better or worse. Even after they were "healed" of an acute crisis of illness, their bodies still had a tendency to fall back into old problems as soon as they were challenged by stress in their jobs or personal lives. He began to wonder why a given individual would hold onto these vulnerabilities for so long.

His research has led to the development of a new technique called Holographic Memory Release, or HMR. Combining his knowledge of the principles of both acupuncture and chiropractic, Dr. Daily has evolved an efficient and non-invasive method for helping the body to perceive and release its old habits or reactions. He observes that the muscles and nerves will always attempt to handle a new problem by using an available strategy learned at an earlier time. In other words, we keep repeating patterns of "holding ourselves together" which were established early on, often in childhood. The problem is that we were often under extreme stress while we were attempting to respond to life’s challenges, and our ability to process information effectively was compromised. These incomplete solutions were laid down in the nervous system as "somatic memories" which then become unconscious guidelines for how we stand, walk, and breathe.

Dr. Daily was excited find these observations supported by the theoretical work of Dr. James and Nora Oschman, who had been studying the possibility that memories were actually stored in the body as well as in the brain. By combining the Oschman’s research with his own clinical experience, Dr. Daily found that a memory could be accessed through a particular combination of physical stimuli at a specific point on the body. He postulated that this memory was encoded "holographically" as a pattern of vectors. Dr. Daily saw that this was what was being accessed through the points along the spine, which his system had identified.

Using light touch, the HMR technique allows the body to gradually unwind the string of memories it has been carrying around. With each contact, energy is released from old tensions and made available to handle present events more appropriately. Over a period of time, significant changes in overall functioning start to appear. Clients report a newfound stability in their health, with old symptoms clearing up more quickly and eventually correcting themselves without further treatment. The body seems to recover its ability to fix itself.

Dr. Daily states specifically that the HMR work does not do the healing, but rather it is the information which is reflected back to the nervous system which allows the person to heal themselves. It is a cumulative learning process, which eventually becomes self-maintaining.

In the last year, Charles Daily has retired from private practice in order to travel and teach the HMR technique to as many people as possible. It is of special interest to nurses, massage practitioners, and therapists, but because of its simplicity and gentleness it can also be learned by anyone who wants to be able to help others feel better. He has had excellent results with children as well.

Somatic Definition of HMR:  Back to Top

The Holographic Memory Release Technique (HMR) is an empowering approach to prevention and improvement that restores necessary vital capacity to the mind-body continuum. HMR is a revolutionary new healing art. With this powerful and subtle tool, in only one weekend, you will learn to quickly locate specific holographic "touch points" which are referenced to the individual’s on-going process. As in reflexology, where the entire body is represented on the foot, these "touch points" correlate to whole-body microsystems. Through very light and specific digital contacts, a piezoelectric effect is created within the crystalline connective tissue memory system for instantaneous memory reframing. This personalized feedback technique enhances subtle self-observation within the individual. It increases individual somatic awareness and releases self-limiting beliefs and tension patterns, which have been stored within the mind-body continuum. Come learn and experience HMR. In a 15 minute HMR session with Charles you’ll experience the power of innocent attention as the mind-body learns to "listen-in" on itself and re-pattern cellular memory. Come and enjoy waves of coherent cellular resonance with others. Spontaneously release information "log-jams" which rob you of necessary vital capacity and start living creatively within the present moment. Start including this valuable system in what you can offer your clients.

        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 SO INCLINED TO SUPPORT THIS WORK (there are also ways besides donating money), please check out the Chalice Bridging Ministries / PolyPsyArts Support System.

     a) Hardcopy reproduction is ok so long as it is for personal or non-profit organizational use only; b) Distribution and posting on web pages, blogs, and forums with my permission (mostly because I want to know where it's been put, and I'd be most honored to be asked). c) Any distribution of my writings or artwork must be w/o charge unless with prior agreement in writing with the author. d) The only exception to that regards the World Healing Prayers, which I encourage people to make all the copies they think will be used effectively without obligation to get my permission or even contact me.

          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.

              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 (described in the next paragraph).
        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.

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 ?
