The Transformational Gate™ Program

 The emotional subsystem is associated with the motion of body tissues and their baseline degree of tension. If there is emotional tension in the body this would be in association with tissue tension (nerve system, connective tissue, muscle, or joint). Dr. Epstein suggests that when there is a change in the motion or tension of any tissue of the body, especially at the spinal level (the switchboard for the bodymind), we experience this as emotion. As your vertebrae begin to move more freely, as your connective tissue releases its tension, and as the mechanical tension is released from the spinal cord and nerves, your body will have the opportunity to release energy which has been stored. 

Some of the ways in which this emotional subsystem releases stored tension is through muscle movement which may also move the spine through a greater range of its motion. 

It may release emotion through crying, laughing or toning, all natural expressions of sound. We often will make a sound which is similar to the vibration stored within our body as tension. This sound massages the tissues from the inside and appears to facilitate the release of tension. Much of this tension may have been stored as a result of your bodymind's reaction to various traumatic situations in your life. A release of emotions is common as tension is resolved. Although the release of emotions may at times be very apparent in this process, it is not specifically what benefits you, but simply a by-product of your increasing wholeness. The Network sessions are aimed at advancing your ability to coordinate your body's spinal integrity subsystems. We help you to reintegrate the out of phase systems, enhancing your brain's ability to recognize and utilize meaningful energetic information for self healing. 

SOMATOPSYCHIC AND RESPIRATORY WAVES
Through Network Care the brain may generate two waves which are associated with dissipation of energy, enhanced vertebral motion, coordination of the spinal subsystems and enhanced well being. These are known as the Respiratory and Somatopsychic waves™. 

The Respiratory wave is characterized by a full and profound natural rhythmic breathing which begins at the base of the spine, progresses upward between the shoulder blades, around the shoulders, and into the neck. It naturally gently rocks the vertebra "melting" tension and enhancing correction of vertebral subluxations. 

The Somatopsychic Wave™ (soma for body, psyche for mind or spirit) is associated with muscular contraction which pulsates and organizes various spinal segments into a fluid wave like coordinated motion. 

These wave mechanisms are currently being studied at the University of Southern California to better characterize them, and to evaluate their potential role in the body's reorganization to a higher level. 

During the Network sessions your facilitator may position your spine to allow for a more effective redistribution of energy, improved coordination of the spinal integrity subsystems, and an enhancement of full spinal involvement in these "healing waves".

HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION
Healing and transformation are personal, and therefore not competitive. Outward manifestations such as emoting, or large body movements are not indicative of the degree of spinal and nerve system progress or of an individual's enhanced ability to self correct. 

We will assist your appreciation of your healing process, and of your self regulatory and self healing mechanisms. Varied workshops at the Gate coupled with the Network sessions are designed to increase the forces of healing available to each of us, both individually, and as a community. 

Please schedule your next visit with your chiropractor as soon as you return home from The Transformational Gate™. If you currently consult with any other health or healing facilitators please seek their attention shortly after the program as much physiologic change will have occurred and reevaluation may be appropriate. 

The power which animates this living world is being expressed though you and others during this weekend. It deserves respect and reverence. During this program it is suggested that you give thanks to your spiritual source in your own personal way.
