Mind Body Spirit Release™:
Deactivating Negative Experiences in the Subconscious
UNDERSTANDING MBSR™.
Written by Lindsey Crenshaw, MS, CNS, CHES, CPT, MBSR-P
Our experiences influence our body down to every cellular function which may induce physiological function and responses, impact on stress hormone activity, and certainly impact our emotional state. Trauma can inscribe these cellular responses to the subconscious in which control the majority of our actions. Most of us are exposed to common aspects that stimulate these engrained pathways. These pathways can be triggered by environmental aspects, such as smells and sounds, certain people, types of music, etc.
How Mind Body Spirit Release™ Can Help
The purpose of Mind, Body, Spirit Release™ is to identify the imprinted pathways of the subconscious that ultimately driving the actions of our conscious mind. As these actions are contributing to negative physical and emotional stress on the body. It is often challenging to put your finger on triggers for unwanted emotional and physiological stress. Many of these engrained pathways may be from early childhood or events you were not aware were negative, yet can also be from events you are well aware were traumatic or impactful. Mind, Body, Spirit Release is a tool to be able to identify the triggers and deactivate these reactions and allow space for healing and personal growth to thrive. I often find clients describe it as the things you can’t quite put into words, yet when identified it is “it.”
What Does Mind Body Spirit Release™ Look Like?
The technique of identifying the combination of emotions, limiting beliefs, hormones, body systems, and more is through a form of muscle response testing. Muscle testing is a form of binary biofeedback, which is the measure of the body’s response to a stimulus. This energetic form of testing presents the nervous system with a stimulus and we can determine if it strengthens or weakens the nervous system.
In Mind, Body, Spirit Release we also utilize ideomotor testing which is a form of testing that literally translates to muscular response to an idea. This tool is helpful in identifying limiting beliefs, neurotransmitters, and hormones in which we use thousands of prompts via charts instead of having a physical item touching the person.
Once the collection of stressors have been identified, they will be “cleared” utilizng a cold laser light over specific neurocalming points which allows for the release of the negative imprints in the subconscious. The special laser allows for deliver of light to the cells and supports the natural healing capability of the body. This process does not rid the body of unwanted emotions, yet allows for an unlearning process to occur and support a more calming environment for the body to heal and function.
How do we identify the combination of emotions, limiting beliefs, hormones, neurotransmitters (and more) that are repeatedly mobilized and causing stress in the body? This is done through a form of muscle response testing called ideomotor testing. Ideomotor testing means a muscular response to an idea (ideo=idea, motor=muscle). Muscle testing is a form of binary biofeedback - the measure of our body’s response to a stimulus. You’ll often hear muscle testing described as a way of talking to the body. Since our muscles are controlled by our nerves- we can present the body with a stimulus and understand whether it strengthens or weakens the nervous system. When we introduce physical items such as food and supplements, we see how they impact the nervous system.
We can also identify emotional blocks and limiting beliefs through muscle testing. This is where ideomotor testing comes into play- we muscle test someone not by using a physical item (such as a supplement), but through charts with thousands of prompts.
Just as the body retains cellular memories and can recall them when provoked, it can also unlearn this response. Once the practitioner has identified the collection of emotions, limiting beliefs, and elements that are impairing the body, she will mitigate these stressors through cold laser therapy (called a "clearing"). A cold laser light is used over acupressure points to calm the nervous system response and release the negative imprints stored in the subconscious. The laser helps to restore the natural healing capability of the body by delivering light energy into the cells. The photons are absorbed by the cells and stimulate the mitochondria (creating a biochemical response) which accelerates the healing process.
This process helps the body unlearn and release these negative associations through the "clearing" process, thereby reducing emotional and physical stress on the body. Clearing emotions through cold laser therapy does not mean we are getting rid of unwanted emotions; this process is intended to decrease chronic or overwhelming stress in the body, as well as improve self-regulation.
Mind Body Spirit Release™ as a Tool for Vibrant Health
Just as food and exercise can positively impact our health, Mind Body Spirit Release™ is another tool we use to fortify our wellbeing. Taking a holistic approach means including all aspects of our health rather than isolating one component (including emotional and spiritual, rather than simply physical). By identifying and mitigating detrimental thoughts and/or habits, Mind Body Spirit Release™ enables the recipient to work through limiting subconscious beliefs and memories in order to make more purposeful decisions present-day. MBSR™ is a catalyst for change.
