Emotional Stress
The Unknown Quotient
How many times do you do all the right things? Follow all the precribed protocols – do all the detox – address the bowel function, make sure the adrenals are supported. Give the liver the required nutrients to support the detoxification pathways. Remove the allergens, educate to make sure the person is eating right, drinking clean water, and has a good balance of nutrition.
Of course you as a conscientious practitioner will address all of the above and more. You will make sure that the patient is really taken care of – but still the body does not heal. The symptoms do not really clear. The person continues to suffer.
This is where the emotional body must be considered.
In my clinic using Avatar – emotional stress very often appears as the priority causative stressor on the being. And unless we address this major factor, the person will not really recover.
I am sure for many of you this is an obvious aspect to your work with many patients – but there are some who hide their stress factors so very well.
Of course you have those who fall apart as soon as they sit in your office – but there are those whose emotional traumas are so deeply buried that they do not even see it themselves any more.
For these people – using Avatar, or in fact any good bio-feedback tool can be a way in to really begin to help them heal.
A short case history.
A woman came to me -
‘just for a health check up’ she said.. ‘no problems really – just tired and not feeling on top of things.’
I started testing her and as soon as I prioritised, it was clearly indicated that emotional stress was the priority aspect to be addressed.
‘Oh no” she said: ‘I am really fine.. I have a good life, I have a great husband – two beautiful children – I am not unhappy.’
I went ahead anyway – after 16 years of working in this field – I trust the instrument I use – in this case – Avatar – and I scanned though a long list of flower essences – designed specifically for emotional stress relief.
The essence that came up was a Desert Alchemy essence – a beauty – all about homesickness. My client read the description on the computer screen – and began to cry.
Buried in her psyche – pushed so far down she no longer really felt it – was a deep sadness and a longing for her mountain home in the Rockies of the USA. Now she lived on a flat sand plain – almost devoid of trees, in a hot and dry Western Australian land – with a husband who did not want to move and children who were settled in their lives here.
Could you easily in a few minutes uncover that deeply disguised factor holding this vibrant woman in a pattern of low energy and niggling symptoms? I think not. But now she herself has also recognised it .. she is empowered to do something about it.
Without bio-feedback – without being able to priortize, things would have stayed the same.

How does business relate to healing?
“The more clarity you can get about what a successful solution looks like, the more likely you will be to have a delighted customer when you’re done.” Seth Godin.
How does this statement relate to healing? You might think what does this “business related” statement have to do with this blog? This blog which is essentially about healing and health and health practice.
Well look at it is this way – if you and/or your patient have no idea what health looks like – no idea how it feels to be living in a healthy body – no idea what it means to have cultivate a healthy attitude – healthy mind – then how can you ever arrive at that point of the ‘successful solution’. Which to your ‘patient’ would be the point of feeling healthy and whole.
So let’s start by creating a clear picture of the ‘solution’ for the people we are working with. That is – the state of health – because in this way, they have a road map to steer by – and so do you – the practitioner. If we keep focussing on the disease – this is what we create more of. As in business – if you keep focussing on the problem – you go round in circles.
We need to focus on the solution to create delighted customers.
Valuable links for Avatar Practitioners and others
So – if you are already an Avatar practitioner (or any health practitioner for that matter) who would (obviously) like to be successful.. (or more successful than you already are.) you might like to check these out.
I am assuming that as you are in the health field, and also have a leaning toward the field of energy medicine, then you are likely to have interest in ethics and doing things in a way that is possibly different – or at least stands out as being special.
And so for this reason I am directing you to a couple of blogs and places on the net that are useful for great information – both health orientated, business related and helpful for getting us straight .. assisting us to be successful in all ways of our business and our lives.
You may know some of these as they are well known – but if I introduce you to just one or two that you have not come across before – then that’s great.
Here goes:
Seth Godin’s blog – such an interesting man with excellent ideas that will stretch you imagination.
for health related info – I am sure you know of Dr Joseph Mercola – almost a household word.
and the Health Ranger for all things new and controversial.
closer to home (Australia) – don’t miss the Australian Vaccination Network – giving great information from the other side of the vaccine story.
and if you are interested in the Dental story and the association with health – check out Rob Gammal’s site. All health practitioners should inform themselves of the highly important aspects of the dental connection to the whole body. It can be the underlying focal point of the whole health disorder and if not addressed can hold a person in a state of ill health which does adequately respond to all conventional treatment.
and last but not least for now anyway..Bruce Lipton – who’s view of how we switch on and off our genes is revolutionary!
So enjoy these links – dig in and discover what they can offer you.
The Illusion of Knowledge
“The greatest enemy of knowledge isn’t the ignorance of knowledge but the illusion of it.” Stephen Hawking.
As healers we have to be very conscious of this statement. It is easy to become complacent in our ‘knowledge’ – it is totally important to continue to maintain an open mind, and allow the possibilties of future trends and developments to unfold – and as they do to take advantage of them to benefit not only ourselves but also those we work with.
Just recall for a moment the opposition that has surrounded new thinkers and new paradigms in the health and healing industry through out history. What about Pasteur – what about Semmelwiess?
We can think of a myriad of people who have been ridiculed and laughed at – and of some whose discoveries have even been driven underground for years before finally being accepted.
Keep an open mind. Watch the results – allow the possibilities of something new and previously untried to be relevant. That said – it is important that we examine closely the technology and the premise behind any therapy which is purported to be of value to the human condition – I suggest always that we question the reproducibility of any test results that are shown from instruments claiming to be useful in the health field.
Dr Voll said: “Presupposing the masterment of the measurement technique, the aquired measurement results are reproducible” He was speaking of the EAV (electro-acupuncture according to Voll) techniques. These techniques used by probably more than 2000 medical Doctors in Germany are still not accepted in the vast majority of the “Western” medicine practitioners.
And yet health practitioners who are skilled in their use have exceptional results with patients who are difficult to treat, have confusing and clouded symptomatology – those who just fail to respond to conventional techniques. Those who have been around and back again.. trying this and trying that.. having test after test to no result. Energy medicine – being able to measure the effects of subtle stressors on the body becomes extremely useful in these circumstances and that is where instruments such as Avatar are invaluable.
Remember the words of Stephen Hawking and don’t allow your knowledge to be clouded with illusion.
Healing the Sickness Industry..
As we work with our patients – I prefer to call them clients as this takes me to less of a heirarchical position with them – and gives me a chance to already begin to pull them out of the ‘sickness industry”. because this is the first thing we need to do.. shift the belief that they have entrenched in their chosen illness. While that cloud of ownership of the dis-ease is there – healing can’t happen. And if this cloud is not removed, the dis-ease will return in some form or other until it is recognised and shifted.
It is irresponsible of us to work simply with the physical – as healers we must profoundly encompass the energetic layer which precedes all breakdown of the coherence of the human system – in fact of the coherence of any living system including the planet.
Avatar is my way of lifting the covers on the disturbance of the energetic field of the living system that I am examining.
It is interesting what we can each use as a tool to bring us to the core of our work. I know of many possible healing modalities that have great merit in the hands of the skilled practitioner.
Bring it on.. the diversity.. the many colours to the healing rainbow.
I am grateful that I have an opportunity to participate in the shining of that rainbow. The reflection to each of us … that which is hidden in our being in our wholeness.. moving into release – the release which becomes the many colours of the rainbow.
Allergies – Symptom or Cause?
Everyone is very concerned about allergies. In fact lots of people come see me and that is what they are most concerned about – allergies. “What foods are causing all my problems?” And then there are the others who tell me: “well I went off wheat,” or ” I went off dairy but it didn’t seem to make any difference.”
So what is really the problem here? Are food allergies the underlying cause of many problems in the body – or are they simply a symptom – something that is flagging a deeper cause?
In my experience in clinic, you may see many people who show with sensitivities to foods – stress demonstrated on the Avatar (EAV) testing – but underlying this is almost invariably a digestive disturbance – the ‘gut’ or digestive system is simply not functioning as it should. There is a simple explanation for this – in lay terms we can call it leaky gut – where the gaps in the gut wall become too large and instead of only allowing through the digested food particles, larger undigested particles are allowed to enter into the blood stream – and as a reault, the immune system sets up an alarm – alert – undigested food coming through – allergy!!!
So what is needed? to stay off these foods, or to heal the gut?
It seems an obvious answer – and certainly staying off the foods while you heal the gut is very important as it reduces the associated stress on the area and allows the healing to happen. But this does not mean that your patient must stay away from those foods for ever!
Heal the gut – heal the gut – heal the gut!
When that is done you can start eating those foods again .. little by little to discover what are real allergens and what are those that are simply there because of the imbalance in the digestive system.
It is so important to help your clients (patients) to understand this difference – otherwise you will be leaving a trail of people who are convinced they can never stray off the closely followed path of dietary restriction that has been laid down for them by a practitioner who did not understand the deeper meaning of allergies.
Avatar Training completed this week.
We had the privilege of working with a long time EAV (electro-acupuncture according to Voll) practitioner in the past three days. She decided it was time to let go of her old system as it was still running on the old DOS operating system and she knew it was coming to the end of its life. So she travelled over from Bendigo to take delivery of her brand new Avatar Health Testing System – and spend some time with me and two of our Perth practitioners who were doing their advanced training.
Avatar is very easy to learn for someone who has experience with another EAV – CEDS (electro-acupuncture – or computerised electrodermal screening). The principles are the same as this type of system is based on the classic reproducible and time tested techniques and calibration recommended by Dr Voll.
And as Maria found – it was simply a process of learning her way around the windows software. She found it a pretty smooth process especially being able to utilise the easy flow of the relational database that Avatar uses. We were also fortunate to have her with us as she shared some really interesting techniques that she has been experimenting with. She has been using filter techniques that have helped her to uncover some of the hidden stressors that many people carry in their body.
We know through both EAV techniques and working with the bio-feedback techniques of applied Kinesiology that the body can mask or ‘hide’ certain influences. And you need to understand this ‘masking’ in order to uncover hidden causative factors especially in teh case of long term imbalance in the system.
Maria has been working with the energies of herpes, which are known to be carried by many people – energetically these viruses can cause hidden problems and prevent full recovery from many diverse symptoms. Given the right information in the form of energy remedies to counteract the hidden stressors can lift the “cloud” or shadow of this energy from the body and assist in returning to the rightful state of harmony.
We are looking forward to her documenting these techniques so they can be shared with our practitioner group.
