Thanks for the welcome Irene. I already feel this is a very

supportive group :-)

My naturopath is very big on the blood type diet and has

been " encouraging " me to get on it for some time.

Glad to hear it has helped your health, my main goal is to

get healthier for my future, and also to lose weight of

course.

Hi *waving from across the ditch*. Nice to " meet "

someone from this side of the hemisphere as well.

Yes, you are right, I think it's easier to eat those hot

roast meals (and similiar) through the winter, and not have

to worry too much about finding the right foods.

Thanks for the welcome.

That's good to know Robin - thank you. I too am a sahm

(mostly - I work a little part-time) - so chocolate is

sometimes me escape through the day *grin*. I think if I

allow myself a little every day, or whenever, then I don't

feel I can NEVER have it (which is a sure thing to make me

want to rebel and have it anyway).

Thanks again,

Tracey.

Wow...this is making this way of eating look even better

*grin*. So how do I find out if I am a secretor (I guess I

could take this back to my naturopath actually).

Thanks :-)

Hi Sue;

My name is Joni, and I am a Certified

Therapeutic Recreational Specialist. Have been in the mental health field

for almost 30 years. Have been studying Brain Gym for the past three and

took the licensure two weeks ago.

I have used balances with many of my

recent clients and have found the most profound shifts happening when I help

them address a very specific issue that relates or contributes to the

particular mental illness. My current clients are all seriously and

persistently mentally ill—schizophrenia, depression, and manic-depression(bi-polar).

For example, Judy had a very difficult time releasing some betrayal she felt

from an aunt who was also a surrogate mother to her and who perpetuated her own

mother’s negative response to Judy. We performed a very basic

balance to release these negative feelings and to fill herself with positive

feelings about the accomplishments in her life. She noted to me how

profound that release was for her. She still needed to grieve the loss of

releasing, but is now able to function out of desire to do things vs. out of

anger and a need to avoid the negativity that she felt directed toward

her. Of course, everyone is different, but if you can find one small item

that your daughter wants relief from and can state how it would feel from a

positive perspective if that symptom were gone, she will probably note a more

profound shift and will be more motivated to continue working on other

symptoms. I do agree, however, it is best to have her work when she feels

she is up to it—more stable. In addition, when she is not stable,

you can get into pace in her presence and do the Brain Gym movements and she

will pick up on them idiomatorically. That is, as she watches you perform

them, she will take in the movement and will warm up to them and slowly be more

ready to join you without you having to struggle to have her agree to joining

you.

I’m sorry that your daughter is

having such a difficult time with her health. Mental Illness is

difficult; but you sound to be a very loving parent and I think you’re on

a good track for finding things that will help…both of you!!! God

Bless you on your journey. Joni

Dear All,

I am Sue and I live in Oregon USA. I have a 19 y/o daughter who

suffers with bipolar disorder, severe chronic anxiety, OCD, non-verbal learning

disability, sensory integration issues, and awkwardness in many of the things

she does physically. On the other hand, she is very bright, is a talented poet,

writes dramas (has to be typed as handwriting is poor and painful to execute),

studies theatre and voice.

We have tried a lot of things with/for her. We did try some

patterning (taught to us by Svea Gold in Eugene Oregon) but she was so mentally

ill at the time that we had to just cope with daily crises and could not get

her to do any exercises without a major battle. Now that she is more stable I

am looking again into alternatives. I am taking an introductory class on

brain gym and she says it is helpful when I show her. The BG teacher told me

about Dr. Masgutova's work and I found this egroup.

Sincerely,

Sue

Dear Sue & Diane:

I responded to your initial message

already once, Sue, as I am the Recreational Therapist in Mental Health, and

since seeing Diane’s note below, I just had to write again. Since

someone, I don’t recall whom, put the EFT website on this group

mailing, I, too, have become a believer in EFT. I downloaded the 76 page

instruction booklet and was so interested that I began using it with myself,

family, and now my clients, also. Now, because I have taken numerous

courses in Brain Gym®, Touch for Health and Reflexes, I felt like I really

understood what Craig was presenting and that I could perform the process.

I think that anyone wanting to pursue EFT that is not already immersed in other

holistic learning should really invest in obtaining the tapes that go along

with the instructions.

Just to let you know, I have used EFT with

my clients diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar, depression and post traumatic

stress disorder. One woman with depression who has a very low IQ and

wants to lose weight was able to notice on her own that she had no desire to

purchase her usual candy bars when she went shopping the week following our EFT

session. We were both very pleased!! Because I have a number of

balance procedures in my menu, I ask the client which balance procedure they

feel is the best for the issue they want to address. Just by saying them

out loud, they can choose the best one even if they don’t know what the

names mean. Several have chosen EFT without knowing what it stands

for. It is worth checking into for your daughter and yourself!!

Good Luck, Joni Polehna in Minnesota

Hello Diane and Joni,,

Thanks for letting me know of your success with EFT. Because my daughter has had *so* much instability, I have to admit to fear about trying new things. Of course, I would not be in this group if I let my fear dominate! The fear is for two reasons. One, I am afraid to cause any more trauma and suffering for . Two, we have tried so many things that sometimes help a little, sometimes help not at all. I did download and read some about EFT and I think we might try it--later. Right now, we do some brain gym every day and last week she had a good cranio-sacral session. We had dabbled a little in CS, by that I mean that our chiropractor uses it sometimes. However, we went to see someone who specializes in it and has had good training. Her face looks different after her session and she fell asleep while receiving it and her face got pinker, like her circulation was better.

So my plan now is to have a few more CS sessions, try patterning again and then EFT. My thinking is to get her CS straightened out and then to help her learn new physical and mental patterns and then to deal with emotions. Of course, we could try all at once but I am kind of a scientific type and like to know what is helping. Plus, she is easily aggravated and needs lots of time and space to be alone.

Does this sound like a reasonable plan to you all?

Love,

Sue

Hi Sue:

I think it is very important for you to take

things slowly and at a comfortable pace for both of you. Honoring who you

both are is very important to all of us. I think it’s nice to be

able to pin down what is helping and what isn’t. However, it seems

that one notices EFT improvements pretty readily and then time builds on it

more. So, you may be able to intertwine them somewhat. I do think

it’s good to continue the BGym to keep her stress level down. One

thing I did find very interesting from EFT and from friends who do holistic

work is that the polarization mentioned by Craig in EFT is remarkably

important. Since it is relatively new to me, the times that it appeared BGym

hasn’t had much effect seems to have been when the client was stuck in a

negative thought pattern. A friend noted to me that before attempting any

work at all, it is beneficial to make sure our energy is all flowing in the

right direction—clockwise. So you or your daughter can simple

direct your hands in a clockwise manner—for her--from her left side

across her front to her right side in a half circle. For you on her—from

your right to your left but making a half circle around her. Make the

sweeping movement three or four times to get the energy flowing correctly at

the feet, at the stomach level and at the head level. DNA has the form of

a spiral and our making this movement gets our energy flowing in the right

direction and allowing us to have polarization in our bodies. Thus, we

combat the negativity that may be going on as a result of our energy not all

flowing in the same direction. If one’s energy is flowing in the

correct direction, there’s no harm done by sweeping the three areas

because it’s already flowing correctly. See if any of this

works. When I’m feeling negative or have negative thoughts, it

really seems to pull me out of those thoughts if I just get my energy going in

the right direction by sweeping. Give it a try before the balances.

God Bless You both. Joni

Hello:

I am so glad you discovered CS. It is a beautiful subtle energy process too. Little by little, as you explore these gently therapies you will see much change!

Another important support is Ambrotose for cellular development. It is a glycoprotein. (Do a search) and it seems to encourage DNA normalization.. I have seen severe challenges reverse with the cell -to- cell communication in the nutrition from severe fetal alcohol to Downs Syndrome. Contact me off group if you want more information. It is profound. lifeflow@... Put "Challenges Info Request " in subject title if you contact me off group so I know it is safe to open the email please.

As far as the EFT goes - it is so gentle it will just be one of those supportive tools. Do not be surprised if you see your child reminding you to tap!

Loving Care & Encouragement!

Hi Val, Libby and everyone else,

I was delighted to see that Svetlana, Pamela and others from the highest

levels of the program are online answering questions. And I, personally, would

leave to them to answer how to use the reflex chart points. I do know that these

are learned best at camp or clinic or summer conference (whatever you want to

call it) because there are different kinds of touch, motions and directions of

movement used with different points. Some points are only taught at advanced

levels.

I love Val's idea of using the reflex handouts as a guide to studying the

different reflexes. And, as other than the Fear Paralysis Reflex which there is

little known about addressing it directly, the Moro, is I believe the other

earliest in utero reflex, that would be a great place to start.

It is an intention that the Masgutova team study the various reflexes using

information from whatever sources are available; so I would suggest we not limit

ourselves only to Svetlana's indications, and that we widen our exploration for

discussion and investigation. The Moro is one that I have utlized in sessions

with individuals to some degree, and after using other approaches, I do prefer

Svetlana's, especially the embrace, that recognizes the different stages of the

Moro.

Moro is extremely important in eye-teaming. A retained Moro can produce the

" wall-eye " effect, where when one eyes is covered and the person focuses on an

object coming to the midline, the seeing eye will come in to focus on the

object, but the covered eye will not. The two, ideally, work together in tandem,

whether one is covered or not.

I worked quite some time ago with a gal who was an adolescent at the time and

had completed two years of vision training with a developmental optometrist. She

was referred to me by the OT in that office. The girl had a brain stem tumor

when she was two, had not been expected to live, and later the tumor was

irradiated. Obviously she survived, but was affected in many areas of

development. One eye had shut down, and she had no depth perception.

Moro was one of the reflexes we addressed, among many other things; so it is

virtually impossible to single out one particular factor. It was apparent to me,

however, that this was a person who knew how to die, but had never figured out

how to live. She was in constant fear. Among her accomplishments during our

months together was that she rode a bike for the first time. And I'll never

forget her scream when she saw " 3-D " for the first time ever.

When we get to spinal galant, I have a clear-cut story to share with that, and

will look forward to a discussion about the role of sphincter muscels in

general.

In the meanwhile, I look forward to a rip-roaring in-depth investigation and

discussion of the Moro reflex.

Thanks,

Sharon

Hi Judy,

Welcome to the group! I wanted to let you in case you hadn't joined our local

group that I

just received an email that we are working out a new location and then will

resume

meeting and exploring Reflexes. This might be a good place to start. There is

a manual

with beginning reflexes but it can be confusing if you have not taken a class

with Svetlana

or been shown the specific reflexes at an appointment with her.

Maybe someone could comment on an exercise you could begin right away. I

started with

PACE which is a Brain Gym activity. Svetlana started out her class with PACE so

I began

doing it with my girls in the mornings before school.

Thank for joining!

> Hi all,

> I just recently joined the group and am sending my intro here. My name is Judy

and I have a 7-year-old son, , who was diagnosed with Developmental

Coordination

Disorder about a year ago. He has motor planning issues, gross/fine motor

delays, some

social awkwardness and potentially some attention/focus problems. He has some

sensory

seeking behavior and our current struggle is helping him to " read " his body well

enough to

go to

> the bathroom. He has been having frequent daytime wetting incidents and

doesn't

seem to know (or care) when he is wet. (Probably the sensory issues!) I have

very little

information about Dr. Masgutova's work but this group was recommended by someone

who saw my post on another group when I was inquiring about something

called

Interactive Metronome. There are so many therapies out there! We recently

bought the

BrainGym book, but I haven't gotten into it yet. If anyone has any advice on a

starting

place for implementing Dr. Masgutova's techiques, I welcome them! We do OT,

Adapted

P.E., speech (mild articulation delays) as well as a social group at his school.

He is in first

grade at our local elementary school. We've done chelation, GFCF diet,

chiropractic

adjustments, natural supplements (omegas, probiotics, vitamins, etc.),

hippotherapy,

social playgroups, homeopathy as well as other motor skill classes like swimming

and

gymnastics.

BRAIN BALANCE TAKES THE STRUGGLE OUT OF LEARNING AND LIFE!

From: traceycollins@...

I am pleased to be joining the group as I am a parent of a 5 y/o boy ()

with challenges. We just recently were introduced to Svetlana and her treatment

last month and are still learning about how to apply her findings and

suggestions. I have not attended any courses, but hope to have that opportunity.

For a newbie, it is very overwhelming. My son is diagnosed with ASD. We have

been doing SI therapy, OT, ST, and PT for the past 4 years. I look forward to

learning from all of you.

Hi Kathy:

As I was reading your post, I was wondering if you have ever balanced

yourself to believe that you and your son work well together to share this

information and make progress. It's very helpful to believe that we will be

well received and able to help others grow. Just a thought. Joni Polehna

Introduction

Hello,

I am glad to be a part of this group. I have taken 3 of Svetlana's courses,

and my son has had 2 balances with her. I am a licensed Brain Gym

Instructor, and also do a lot of Bal-A-Vis-X. I have taken one Rhythmic

Movements class with Dr. Harald Blomberg, and hope to take some more classes

from him this summer.

My son had a stroke in utero. He is now 9.5 years old. He has right

side hemiplegia, along with ADHD. I took my first Brain Gym class because

of him, and was so excited that I went on to become a Brain Gym instructor.

I find it very hard to do balances with him, which is really frustrating. I

have this knowledge, but can't share it easily with him. I have done a

Spinal pereze balance with him, and he stopped wetting the bed. But that

was a few years ago. One of the reasons I'm so glad to join this group is

to get back to doing reflex integration work with my son.

We have tried other therapies such as neurofeedback, biochemical testing and

nutritional supplements, cranio-sacral treatments, hyperbaric oxygen, and

most recently biofeedback. The biofeedback was very successful; can

now move the little toe of his right foot, which he was never able to do

before. He has a little dorsiflexion in his foot as well, and just last

week, started hopping successfully on his right foot! We are very happy

about that.

I am still searching for alternative ways to help him with his ADHD. We

have finally tried Ritalin for him, and there is a little improvement, but

nothing great. He hasn't had any side effects so far, which we are very

relieved about. If anyone has had success with ADHD and reflex work, I

would be very inspired to hear about it.

Also look into Sensory Processing Disorder; Kids Foundation in the USA. There

is some very interesting research being done - it all connects.

Hi ,

Welcome. I'm sure Sevetlana's work would help Miranda a great deal. I am just

curious, have you had her lead levels checked? I read online that essentially

all babies coming here from China have higher levels of lead, which can cause

many issues, including ADHD.

[Guest guest]

Nice point, . I add that mercury dental fillings have been my

nemesis for a lifetime and I did not know it. Of course, all the

dentists tell me that they are safe. Far from it; that is a PR joke.

They claim the mercury cannot affect anything. Then why am I

observing huge improvements in attention quality? Someone's

unidentifiable allergies cleared up after she got rid of mercury

amalgam fillings; I sense I will have the same result. China has no

accountability, so anything goes. Good luck, Alice

[Guest guest]

Hi. I did have Miranda's lead level checked as soon as she came home and they

were fine.

The Silver Pulser (blood electriciation unit) is a dual-function

device. It does the blood pulsing and also allows one to make their

own Ionic~Colloidal Silver for pennies per gallon (really!).

The Silver Pulser is the " flag-ship " unit and is the " must have "

device in my opinion. The Magnetic Pulser electrifies all other " non-

blood " systems and can target specific areas. If one were to ask me

about trying to be virus free (which one cannot be 100% virus free as

there are too many of them around) I would say without hesitation the

Silver Pulser. It also is the less expensive unit. The Silver Pulser

gives one a " base " to work from.

Usually folks start with the Silver pulser for these reasons, then

after positive results they are motivated to acquire the Magnetic

pulser then the Water Ozonator. In otherwords, they eventually get the

full Beck Protocol. It is really an investment in one's health.

Furthermore, the technology can be shared by the entire family.

I hope I am not coming across as a salesperson. I am trying to be

perfectly honest with you.

Does this help?

i would say a colloidal silver maker and electrifier, and some of the

electrifiers will also make cs. i don't know which is the better between

the mag pulser and ozone water, but for sure the mag pulser, if it indeed is

disabling virii, will get them in places the ozone water will never reach

before the ozone is used up reacting with something or just fizzing out...

like the bone marrow, brain, CSF, lymphatic system, inside cells and

tissues, all the places the blood doesn't go quickly or much at all.

Hy Russ,It seems there is so much confusion between the terms Silver Pulser and Electromagnetic pulser that it would make sense to give the two devices completely different names. I'm kind of up on gadgety and even I was confused art first.Blessings,Steffan On Nov 26, 2007, at 7:21 AM, H2.O wrote:Thank you very much it helps a lot.> >> > New to the group.
