This biotechnology was first developed by the Russians for use as a health device for cosmonauts, who needed to be able to self-treat while in space. The Russians developed a method of treatment known as S.C.E.N.A.R (Self Controlled Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulation), which head scientist Professor Revenko claimed could alleviate the symptoms of almost all types of illnesses, especially chronic ones that are not easily helped by conventional medicine. The device was kept as a highly classified military secret until the late 1980’s. In 1986, the SCENAR was approved by the USSR Medical Council and has been widely used in Russian hospitals and has spread to European hospitals. Many research papers have been published on its effectiveness, and the inventors received the Medal of Lenin (Similar to the Nobel Prize) for its development. With the restructuring of Russia came the opportunity for the SCENAR technology to be made available to other countries. This technology has since spread around the world and into the larger health community. It is being used to great effect by people ranging from the average patient to highly conditioned athletes. AcuScen was developed from the same technology with an emphasis on ease of use and specific treatments. How does AcuScen work? AcuScen integrates advanced medical technologies to provide the very latest in “Systemic Interactive Medicine.” The hand-held device sends tiny, therapeutic electrical signals through the skin to the immune system, enhancing its function and stimulating healing responses in the body, such as the reduction of pain and inflammation from injury or chronic conditions. The device stimulates the body’s own healing processes, at the chemical, electrical, energetic and informational levels. Specifically, the AcuScen sends out a series of electrical pulse signals through the skin and, using biofeedback, measures the body’s response to those signals. It continues to modify each successive signal cycle to shift the body’s responses toward a more effective healing response. For example, as the electrical pulses stimulate your nervous system, your body releases neuropeptides, which are important in the healing process, helping to reestablish the body’s natural physiological state. Since the peptide increase persists for several hours, the healing process continues even after the actual treatment is over. What is an AcuScen treatment like? The AcuScen is a gentle, noninvasive healing modality. An electrode on the end of the small hand-held device is placed directly on your skin, and you feel a subtle tingling sensation as the electropulses penetrate your skin. The device is slowly moved over the injured, infected, swollen, or otherwise compromised area, and as it moves it detects anomalies in the signals at your skin’s surface, which indicate the best place for treatment to be administered for that particular injury. If the injury or illness is not specific to an area of your body, the AcuScen can deliver a whole-body healing, working through spinal reflexes or the meridians (energy channels first identified in Traditional Chinese Medicine). As your nerves release various chemical compounds, the healing effect permeates your body, via blood circulation. This whole-body effect may be experienced even if the treatment is directed toward a specific injury, as everything in your body is interconnected. What conditions can AcuScen help with? Research shows that the AcuScen may have benefits for injuries and illness involving pain and inflammation. However, the Russian experience is that this type of device has shown efficacy for a broad range of conditions including digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, musculoskeletal, reproductive and nervous system disorders. According to Russian researchers, this biotechnology has been found to be beneficial specifically in the management of burns, fractures, insect bites, allergic reactions, and ear, skin and dental problems. More generally, they report benefits for disorders involving the immune and endocrine systems, nutritional and metabolic disorders, stress and depression. No matter what specific condition is being treated, most people also experience other, whole-body benefits that include increased energy, more refreshing sleep and an improved sense of well-being. How often will I need treatment? For a recent injury or acute inflammation, treatments need to be intensive, ideally once or even twice daily. For chronic conditions, treatments are recommended two to four times a week initially, and then in reduced frequency as your condition improves. The course of treatment will vary from person to person, since many aspects of a person’s life (such as age, health condition, lifestyle, etc.) must be considered. The Acuscen is completely safe and noninvasive. Pregnant women, children and even animals enjoy and benefit from it. Only people with cardiac pacemakers or other electrical devices or someone intoxicated with drugs or alcohol are not able to have an Acuscen treatment. During the treatment of chronic conditions, the treatment may induce what is called a “healing response.” This means that as healing occurs, the condition may move from the chronic to the acute state, and so symptoms may be exacerbated. This is a positive shift, as it means that the body, which has not been functioning properly, is once again working to address problems. But it may mean a temporary increase in symptoms as the body moves the formally “stuck” or “blocked” energy out of the body. Most often symptoms of this shift include fatigue or general malaise or even a slight increase in pain or discomfort for a short time, usually only a few hours, and at most a few days. There are techniques that can be used with the Acuscen and other modalities to manage this healing shift. For best results, it is advisable not to bathe or shower for two hours before or after your AcuScen treatment. >Back to Top Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves placing physical pressure on different acupuncture points on the surface of the body to stimulate the flow of energy. The body's energy meridians act as an energetic blueprint of the physical body. Often with tension, trauma or disease, energy becomes restricted and stimulating the movement of that energy can bring varying levels of and often dramatic relief. Acupressure does not diagnose or cure medical conditions. It works with imbalances in the body's energy field. Allergy Screening—NAET® Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET), is a noninvasive, drug-free, natural solution to the elimination of allergies of all types and intensities. Developed by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad, in 1983, this treatment uses a blend of testing and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathic medicine, chiropractic, nutrition, kinesiology, and selective energy balancing. This technique is offered by Sterling Hart, ND, and it is safe for use on people of all ages, from infants to the elderly.How does NAET work? The theory of NAET is based on the evidence that there are pathways of electromagnetic energy flow throughout the body. According to Dr. Nambudripad, when an allergen enters or contacts the body, there is a clash between the energy field of the allergen and the energy field of the allergy sufferer. The person’s brain identifies the allergen and reacts with an immune response, forming antibodies and delayed reactive T and B cells. This type of immune reaction causes the release of toxic substances from the T cells, which begins a cascade of other immune responses in your body. A type of immune system “fighter” cells, called macrophages, rush to the area, intent on digesting the antigens, but this reaction causes histamine, an immune mediator, to be released. According to NAET theory, this chain reaction in your immune system cause blockages in the electromagnetic pathways as well as abnormal tissue response, delayed tissue destruction and possible autoimmune reaction. From the perspective of complementary medicine, any time there are energy blockages in the body, health problems may result. Some of the common symptoms of such blockages are aches and pains, sore throat, fever, chill, painful lymph nodes, weakness, extreme fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, irritability, confusion, depression, forgetfulness, a burning sensation in the body, frequent urination, crying spells, suicidal behavior, sores in the mouth, indigestion, bloating and water retention. But virtually any symptom can be the result of a blockage caused by contact with an allergen. NAET clears these blockages by reprogramming the nervous system and neutralizing the body’s immune mediators, thereby permanently desensitizing a person to the allergen. What is a NAET session like? A NAET session is gentle, safe, and noninvasive. Dr. Hart uses chiropractic and acupuncture techniques to stimulate the area of your body that is connected to the energy blockages. You hold the suspected or known allergen while the meridians down each side of your spine are stimulated, effectively eliminating your body’s electromagnetic repulsion to that allergen. The resulting chemical or enzymatic change that occurs neutralizes the immune mediators and interrupts the allergen’s signal, clearing the energy blockage to the area involved and sending a message to your brain that desensitizes you to the allergen. In effect, your body no longer identifies the particular food or environmental substance as an allergen, so you experience no further energy blockages in response to that particular food or environmental substance. Other researchers believe that this technique also works by causing the nervous system to reprocess how it views the environment. Allergens are cleared one at a time, in a specific order. For example, food allergies are cleared before environmental allergies are. In most cases, one session will clear an allergy, although there are situations in which multiple allergens can be addressed. Once the treatment is complete, you must not come into contact with the allergen for 25 hours after your session. Dr. Hart became interested NAET after her infant daughter began to experience multiple life-threatening food allergies, many of which were undetectable by traditional blood tests. After nearly five years of searching for a solution, she found Dr. Devi, a practitioner of NAET, and traveled to California to receive NAET training. Dr. Hart then used the NAET techniques on her daughter, who is now a healthy, active five-year-old who enjoys a completely unrestricted diet. Developed and named in 1977 by John Upledger, D.O., CranioSacral therapy is an energy-based modality in which the practitioner uses very light touch to detect and correct disruptions in the soft tissue and fluids of the cranio-sacral system of your body, which includes your brain, head, spinal cord and sacrum. These areas of your body are wrapped by one membrane that contains the cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid has its own rhythm or pulse that the practitioner can feel to detect imbalances. When restrictions are found, the practitioner applies a very light touch in a specific way to release the restriction. In many cases, the area of restriction responsible for your pain or problem is not in the area where you actually feel the pain. Therefore, the real cause of your problem may be left undetected by other healthcare practitioners. A wide body of healthcare professionals including physicians, psychologists, dentists and massage therapists uses CranioSacral therapy. Although practitioners can be certified in CranioSacral therapy, there is no license specifically for it. However, practitioners must hold a valid license in some aspect of the healthcare field to practice CranioSacral therapy. CranioSacral therapy has been shown to alleviate pain and dysfunction in a number of conditions, including:
What is a CranioSacral treatment like? CranioSacral therapy is non-invasive. You remain fully clothed, although you may be asked to lie on a massage table. The practitioner uses light touch to detect and release restrictions. A session may last anywhere from 15 minutes to more than an hour. You generally feel very relaxed and peaceful, as this is a very gentle, although powerfully effective, technique.Over the last fifteen years Randi Eaton has worked as an Intuitive Consultant to small businesses and individuals, offering insights into personal and professional goals, finances, health and relationships.

You should bring a sufficient number of cassette tapes if you want your session recorded. Life Style Coaching – The Ascension Techniques There is a place of peace and joy deep inside of you, waiting your attention. This is a center of calmness, where everything is as it should be. It’s not hard to find. Maybe you have found it temporarily in a special moment when you felt at one with the universe and totally at peace, but then it disappeared, and you couldn’t seem to get it back. Maybe you only imagine this state and have not yet accessed it. The Ascension Techniques can help.The Ascension techniques enable you to be more conscious of your inner processes and the way your outer life reflects those inner choices. It teaches you to bring awareness to:
Individual teaching sessions are possible although, these simple techniques are usually taught over a weekend, at what we call the First Sphere course. So named because the group of four techniques rounds out and completes an approach to addressing the fundamental stresses we experience as humans. The course usually runs from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm on a Friday night, during which time you will learn the first Ascension technique. The course continues on Saturday (10:00 am to 5:00 pm) and Sunday (10:00 am to 5:00 pm). New course schedules are being created to accommodate those who work weekends but have evenings available. See our main website at www.ishaya.com for more information. As we teach you the first technique, you are able to play with and practice it, so you can immediately dive into a new experience and have a lot of fun. The focus of the weekend course is on your experience of both the mind and body relaxing into a new state of awareness. You will begin to feel what it is like to live in a state of praise, gratitude and love. We offer a range of different massage and body-oriented therapies. Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues and musculoskeletal structure of the body. Physicians and healers from all cultures have used massage for over three thousand years. There are over eighty different types of massage/bodywork therapies recognized by national and international healthcare organizations. Some examples that focus on the manipulation of the soft tissue of the body include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular, Lymph Drainage and Sports Massage. Examples of structural and functional manipulation are Rolfing, Alexander Technique, Trager and the Rosen Method. The benefits of regular therapeutic massage include:
Licensure is required in North Carolina for anyone practicing massage. Many therapists specialize in several different types of massage and/or bodywork therapies. Proof of licensure, specialty and references are important prerequisites when looking for a qualified therapist. Bodywork modalities available at Stillpoint Group: Swedish Massage: A gentle massage for relaxation, stress relief and body awareness. This manipulation of soft tissue can increase circulation and lymphatic drainage, break up adhesions, lower blood pressure, and reduce tension and anxiety. Deep Tissue: This massage goes deeper into your muscles and fascial tissue than many other types of massage therapies. It uses specific techniques along with trigger point therapy to relieve aches, pains, tension and spasms in soft tissue. Deep-tissue massage aids in the recovery from an injury and is an integral part of management pain for a wide variety of conditions. Sports Massage: Sports massage is a vigorous form of massage, geared towards the needs of people who are active and helping them to improve performance. This type of massage focuses on specific muscle groups and tissues to reduce the risk of injury and achieve optimal conditioning. In addition, like most types of massage, it helps flush the body of toxins and wastes, reduces muscle soreness and allows a more productive workout schedule. Other benefits include improved range of motion, circulation, strength and flexibility. Soft Tissue Release (STR)—The Tawes Method: STR is a unique European injury-treatment technique that provides relief from pain in as little as one treatment. At the heart of STR is a specific compression and precise extension technique that allows an injured or problem muscle to return to a state of relaxation in as quick as two seconds. This coordinated movement is administered in a systematic manner, resulting in a profound opening effect on all micro trauma and scar tissue, accomplishing maximal beneficial stretch without opposing tension or resulting trauma. Muscle memory is engaged and relief from pain starts immediately. SRT is an effective treatment for deep and superficial release, restoring proper fascial planes for optimal physiologic function. It helps in a wide range of injuries and problems, including chronic lower back pain, whiplash injuries, sports injuries of all kinds, plantar fascitis, shin splints, IT band problems, adductor or groin injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome or the pain from other repetitive stress injuries, fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and more. Active Isolated Stretching (AIS): AIS is an effective treatment for both deep and superficial muscle and facsia release, restoring proper fascial planes for optimal physiologic function. In just a few seconds, this technique helps the target muscle optimally lengthen, without triggering the protective stretch reflex and subsequent reciprocal anagomistic muscle contraction. Maximal beneficial stretch can be accomplished without opposing tension or resulting trauma. Jones Strain and CounterStrain Technique: Strain and CounterStrain is an osteopathic manual technique that emphasizes the correction of abnormal neuromuscular reflexes rather than simply addressing painful, postural or structural problems. CounterStrain recognizes that these structural, postural and painful problems are a result of the abnormal reflexes. Until these abnormal neuromuscular reflexes are addressed, significant healing is difficult. Naturopathic medicine's basic premise is simple, but powerful: to keep the body as healthy as possible and remove obstacles to its healing. It is truly a preventative medicine, one that provides the gentlest and, therefore, the most prudent and long-lived, form of healing. A naturopath primarily guides you in the use of “natural medicine,” using nutritional therapy, natural diet, herbal medicine, classical and complex homeopathy, exercise therapy, hydrotherapy, acupressure, and stress reduction to help restore your body to its natural state of harmony and balance. Symptoms, from a naturopath's view, are simply indications of your body’s genetic way of handling “dis-ease.” Many different symptoms can present from the same cause, depending on your inherited tendencies and weaknesses. If the symptoms are treated and the cause is not cured, the “dis-ease” will simply move to another location in the body. This shifting causes a reoccurrence of symptoms, although they may manifest in a different form and place. How does naturopathic medicine work? Naturopathy does not look at “dis-ease” in isolation. It helps you to assess your entire being. For instance, physician M. Ted Morter, Jr., identifies three primary causative factors in health problems: “Toxicity, timing and thoughts.” In other words, disease arises from the body's responses to what it is exposed to, which include the kinds of foods you eat, the kind of stresses you subject it to, and your attitudes. Each of the small decisions you make each day will bring you either closer to or farther away from true good health, which naturopathy defines as much more than just the absence of disease. Naturopathy helps you make decisions to prevent the recurrence of problems not only by helping to relieve your symptoms, but also by helping you to eliminate the deeper seat of problems, the inherent causative factors of disease. Naturopathy’s approach is that it is always wisest to deal with the body by beginning with the gentlest measures possible, allowing the body the opportunity to heal and providing the ideal support for such healing. It prefers natural remedies to synthetic ones. It approaches medicine from a holistic perspective, so the focus of your visit is not just your physical problem but the fullness of who you are and how you live. It is a cooperative approach, meaning that you and your naturopathic physician/practitioner form a team, whose goal is that you achieve the highest possible level of personal health and vitality.
Nutri-Energetics System® (NES) Nutri-Energetics Systems (NES) is a revolutionary approach to evaluating and promoting physical and emotional wellness. A NES scan analyzes your bio-field—the energy and information field that underlies and controls your physical body—to determine the state of your overall well-being. Because it is working at the level of the quantum biofield, a scan takes only seconds, but returns a comprehensive array of 145 bio-energy indicators, which correlate to the state of your physical and emotional health. The scan also indicates the corrective remedies, called Infoceuticals, that can restore the quantum information and so enhance your body’s own self-healing processes.NES can be used by itself or in tandem with your other health choices. In fact, evidence shows that NES, by correcting your body-field, can enhance the effectiveness of other healing modalities. What is the human body-field? According to frontier science, below the level of our physical body is an interconnected web of energy and information fields that direct physical processes, such as biochemistry, cell function and metabolism, and physiological processes. NES research reveals that the quantum electrodynamic body-field has a structure, which can be analyzed. What’s more, distortions in the fields that make up that structure can be correlated with the loss of well-being. NES research also reveals that healing is best achieved according to a specific sequence. This sequence supports the body’s physical processes and helps it move from a state of “dis-ease” to homeostasis, where all physical systems are working efficiently and naturally. Since NES is working at the body-field level, it is ideal to use as part of your long-term, preventative health program, helping to correct energy distortions before they affect the physical body. What are the NES Infoceuticals? The NES Infoceuticals are specially encoded through a proprietary method of imprinting quantum information onto a base of colloidal minerals in purified water. The quantum information in the various Infoceuticals is specially tagged to different aspects of the optimal human body-field. Using the Infoceuticals enhances emotional and mental clarity and supports your body’s processes towards increased well-being and vitality. The Infoceuticals do not interfere with pharmaceuticals, herbs, vitamins or supplements, so you can continue your normal health regimen while using them. If you are ready to be the master of your beliefs rather than the victim of their consequences, then PSYCH-K is the technique for you. PSYCH-K is a unique form of kinesiology—muscle testing and body-oriented insight—that helps you to get to the root of your beliefs to see if they are blocking your progress or helping it. Developed by psychologist Robert Williams, PSYCH-K is a method that quickly helps you free yourself from past limitations. It directly facilitates communication between the conscious and subconscious portions of your mind. And, it initiates a process of cross-talk between the two hemispheres of your brain, bringing about a whole-brain state that dramatically reduces your resistance to changing outdated subconscious programming. How does PSYCH-K work? Your life is a reflection of your beliefs. But these beliefs are usually subconscious, the cumulative effect of life-long conditioning that may have taught you to think and behave in self-defeating ways. Whereas, your conscious thoughts can be changed fairly easily as you are exposed to new ideas, meet new people, and apply your willpower and insights, changing your unconscious scripts is more difficult. Research has shown that the subconscious “speaks” not in the language of logic and reason but in images and symbols (through dreams) and through the body (i.e., a “gut” feeling, a “heart” ache). The subconscious mind cannot speak directly to the conscious mind. Their communication is indirect, with one of the most common routes of communication being through your body, which is why “body language” is so revealing to those trained to read it. PSYCH-K teaches you to use your body to reveal your hidden unconscious patterns. What can PSYCH-K help me achieve? If there are aspects of your life that leave you unsatisfied, if you have “life scripts” that no longer serve you, and if you are wondering why your actions keep overriding your own good intentions, you can look to your subconscious for answers. Psych-K is an effective and fast way to “rewrite” the software of your mind and release just about any kind of self-limiting belief. You can:
Reconnective Healing is often a life-changing experience, utilizing new frequencies to allow for the healing of the body, mind and spirit. Vastly different from Reiki, Johrei, Jin Shin, Qi Gong or Pranic Healing, Reconnective Healing is beyond any technique you’ve ever encountered! As its creator, Eric Perle, says, “If you’re lucky, your healing will come in the form you anticipate. If you’re really lucky, your healing will come in a form you’ve not even dreamed of—one which the Universe specifically has in mind for you.” During a session you lie on a massage table, fully clothed, and allow healing to take place, in whatever form the universe has in mind for you! At the start of the session, highly palpable energies are initiated by Randi Eaton, Stillpoint Group’s certified Reconnective Healing Practitioner™. She maintains this energy connection during the course of the one-hour session. Most people who have experienced this modality feel they have undergone a deep transformational experience, and some feel forever changed, operating at, and attuned to, a higher frequency than ever before. Randi Eaton, LMBT, is an experienced Reconnective Healing Practitioner™ trained by Eric Pearle. For more information on Reconnective Healing® or The Reconnection™ please visit www.TheReconnection.com. Somatic Experiencing© (SE) is a naturalistic approach to the resolution and healing of trauma. Trauma is an experience that overwhelms the normal capacity of your nervous system, so you are unable to integrate that experience. Trauma takes many forms. It can be a single event that happens unexpectedly, so quickly that you can hardly process it, or it can be the result of a slow, long-term pattern of events that you have little control over. Either way, trauma can overwhelm your nervous system to the point that it cannot work properly, cannot “rebalance” itself back to efficient and normal functioning. The result is that your nervous system can become “stuck” or “frozen.” Your body then stays in a state of constant threat and attempts to continually manage this high level of activation. The various symptoms of trauma, which wreck havoc on our emotions and body, result from your nervous system’s attempt to manage this continual “turned on” state and to contain this high level of unused energy. Symptoms of trauma, include post-traumatic stress syndrome, unresolved pain, anxiety, anger, depression, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, troubled breathing, insomnia, intrusive thoughts and imagery, and feeling disconnected to life. Somatic Experiencing© can help resolve the trauma. It is different from other therapeutic modalities that you may have heard about or used:
For more information about Somatic Experiencing©, please visit www.traumahealing.com and www.traumasolutions.com Somatic Rebalancing is an innovative therapy developed by massage therapist Randi Eaton to help her clients find relief from their physical, emotional, and mental problems. It is a combination of energy work with a touch technique that requires only gentle pressure from Randi’s hands on the client’s body. In some cases, this work can be done off the body as well, so it is an excellent option for clients who are sensitive to touch.How does Somatic Rebalancing work? Our physical bodies are the repositories of last resort for personal expression. From the perspective of alternative healthcare, “dis-ease” usually begins at the level of our energy body, and if it is not dealt with or cleansed, then it may eventually work its way into our physical bodies as illness. Somatic Rebalancing works on this premise, dealing with the body in all its layers, rather like peeling an onion. Randi begins by working with the physical manifestation of your ailment and then moves gently through all the other levels at which the illness may be manifesting in your body-field. These levels include the physiological, the emotional, the chakras, and the causal, astral, and etheric energy fields. Randi is able to assess the many levels of your being to detect imbalances and then using a unique combination of bodywork and energy therapies she brings your body-field back into balance. Because Somatic Rebalancing affects all levels of your being—body, mind, and spirit—it can bring many benefits in a wide array of ways. Most notably, Somatic Rebalancing helps:
What is a Somatic Rebalancing session like? During a Somatic Rebalancing session, which lasts from thirty to forty minutes, you remain fully clothed but may be asked to lie on a massage table. You don’t have to do anything except relax. Many clients report feelings of meditative calm, peacefulness, and deep relaxation. Some report receiving insights and otherwise accessing information that is helpful to them in their lives. To experience the lasting benefits of this therapy, I recommend a minimum of three sessions. However, most clients report feeling better after just one treatment. |
