Interpreting NOBODY reading Part 1 Interpreting the NOBODY reading (Part2) On using the FM and VAR setting Part1 On using the FM and VAR setting (Part2) Connection of FM/VAR painting and TCM Sticky spots, reverse polarity and tissues which don't heal Connection of FM/VAR painting and TCMThe following is only my personal experiences not necessarily meaningful. Sticky spots, reverse polarity and tissues which don't healNow to another subject: the concept of blockage of energetic pathways is as old as recorded history and is a mainstay of acupuncture. Although written about 300 years ago, it has been more recently researched by Bjorn Nordenstrom, MD, the director of radiology in Stockholm and the former president of the Nobel committee. It has been proven that the blood vessels, lymphatics, and peri-neural sheaths are electrical conduits in the body which are the primary communication pathways of the body. The walls of the vessels are like insulation on a piece of electrical wire. The fluid in the vessels is like the copper wire. Electrical information moves over this system much faster than through nerves. Once you get to the cellular and extracellular level, the electronics of the body is connected by ionic electricity (if you don’t remember what ions are, look them up on the net). A capacitor is a device which holds electrons for future use. In the body, these capacitors are made up of ions. Injured tissue is electro-positive. White blood cells, proteins, and other things needed for healing are electro-negative. Thus they are attracted to the injury by the charge. In addition, the body creates ionic capacitors around the injury. These capacitors thus store and release the energy necessary for the tissue to heal. Blood and dying tissue are electro-negative. When you bleed into an injury or have tissue death, there is enough electro-negativity to convert the normally electro-positive injury and associated capacitors to negative. When the polarity switches, there is no longer an attraction to bring the things necessary to heal. This switched polarity prevents healing and is what is known in acupuncture as a “blocked meridian”. Acupuncturists create energy to correct the polarity = unblock the meridian so the capacitors can release their energy to the injured area. Polarity therapists (a type of massage therapist) do the same. Magnets do the same. Reflexology does the same. Qigong therapists do the same. I think you get the point. All of these procedures are aimed at correcting the polarity of the ionic capacitors so that normal healing can resume. One can utilize the SCENAR to quickly do the same correction of the polarity. When the tissue polarity is reversed, it is manifest by creating a magnetic field which manifests itself through the skin. This is identified as a “sticky” spot. All SCENAR therapists use this phenomenon as an asymmetry (a term with special meaning to SCENAR folks). However, you can find these sticky spots = magnetic field with any magnet-attracting metal, e.g., a simple stainless steel dinner spoon. When you rub the spoon over the body, you will find these areas of magnetism. When you find them, you will have found the reversed-polarity-ionic-capacitors (blocked meridians) associated with disease. One can resolve them using traditional SCENAR rules. However, you can resolve them faster using ancient techniques of polarity therapy = in Diag 1 find the sticky spots. Now begin the spin the device counter-clockwise over the sticky spot and watch for it to go to zero. When it does, brush the spot again. You will find that the sticky spot (magnetic field) is gone or nearly so. Continue the process until the magnetic area can no longer be found. You will find that the pain, dysfunction, etc. associated with this area is also gone. Remember that the magnetic field has depth and is like a cork-screw. As you unwind it, you can sometimes feel that it angles off in a particular direction that is not necessarily perpendicular to the surface. When you treat people who can feel energy, they will describe to you that they can feel the unwinding of the reversed polarity in the tissue. Energy-sensitive massage therapists are particularly good at helping you know what you are doing as you learn this technique. The point is that all of the various energetic paradigms/techniques such as acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, massage, Voll, chiropractic, osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, polarity therapy, etc. have a common pathway which leads to the reversed polarity of the local ionic capacitors described by Nordenstrom. As an acupuncturist/massage therapist/chiropractor that was a patient told me today, “I have been doing this slowly and laboriously with my hands for years. You did in minutes with the SCENAR what it took years of study for me to learn to do with my hands---and my hands are wearing out!”.
On using the FM and VAR settingTo Paul, Barth, Dick On using the FM and VAR setting (Part2)
Dear All
if you've noticed in the past week or so, I've
(that's G.) been making various attempts at better understanding some of
the principles of SCENAR therapy - recent case reports from Paul and Barth
(sent privately), comments and questions from Dick Kravitz and Cheryl Ann
Babcock as well as past discussions with Jerry Tennant and Zulia Frost have
all acted as stimuli for me to take a closer look at areas in the SCENAR
process and organism behavior that have remained uncertain to me
I can clearly appreciate that some of you may not
be interested in this sort of theory exploration - that's 100% fine - if so
please just hit delete - I have been also hoping that by testing my
understandings in a (friendly) public forum like this that varying ideas,
clarifications and corrections would be forthcoming and save all of us time
and energy - (Cheryl Ann thanks for the recent comment)
I've had the chance earlier today to speak with
Zulia Frost by phone - although she is taking a (very) little time off for
some deeply deserved rest, she was kind as ever with her time and spoke with
me concerning some of my questions - the following is a result of our talk as
well as more self-reflection on my part
1) there are definitely times when Zulia uses
FM/VAR in a moving or "painting" style - from our talk (which
covered a lot of territory in a short time) I understand that she uses a
"moving" FM/VAR in basically two situations:
a) when in Diag 0 and
"painting" an area or horizontal, when she encounters an
"asymmetry" (meaning a spot/zone with primary
signs such as stickiness, redness, sound change, pain/sensation), she will
sometimes choose the FM/VAR setting for
continued "painting"
of the "asymmetry" proceeding in each of the four vectors while
remaining onthe "asymmetry" - this
scenario would explain Barth's observation that Zulia was using (at least some
of the time and in ceratin areas of the horizontal) the
FM/VAR setting as she worked on him in Diag 0 during the demo in the January
Dallas training - I had said in one of my
earlier emails that I did not think
she did so - I am wrong and I apologize to Barth
b) Zulia has also explored the
use of FM/VAR in a moving/"painting" style in the manner proposed by
Jerry Tennant - in this approach,
the moving FM/VAR is applied to an area which yields generally low Initial
Reactions (usually around 20 or lower)
as well as readings which
register "NOBODY" - this application generally is given to the area
in a non-specific pattern for a
period of
20 minutes - similar to Jerry, Zulia reports "good results" with
this approach - I do not know the specifics of the
conditions of the individuals she worked on in this way nor do I know what
constitutes"good results" - in any case, her opinion so
far is positive and supports one of Jerry's observations
and suggestions
it is my recollection that Zulia stated that in
each of the situations above (a & b), that the moving FM/VAR approach was
appropriate for chronic conditions and not acute conditions - this is my best
recall of this point in the conversation
2) Zulia was also clear to remind me that FM/VAR
is most certainly used in the Diag 1 mode after the zero/reconnect phase of
the process - in this approach the FM/VAR application is stationary on the
spot/point being treated - this should not be confused with the exploration of
a "moving" FM/VAR application
3) Zulia was also interested an supportive of the
idea which I had proposed in a recent email reply to Dick Kravitz on our group
email - the concept was to apply a series of Diag 0 settings in an ordered
sequence - this ordered sequence was to be applied in an area which was
"severe chronic pain with an inflammatory basis" and was presented
to me by Dick Kravitz in a email in our group - when describing the sequence
of settings, Zulia corrected me on my understanding of the Damping (Sk)
settings
in my notes from past trainings, I have two
contradicting statements - I am unclear how I arrived at this contradiction -
Zulia told me that in last November while in Russian studying with her
teachers and clinicians there, she was given this "latest" view of
the use of the Damping settings - because I was originally trained by Zulia in
my Level One training last summer some time (along with Jerry), it is possible
that a more refined view of the Damping settings may have evolved since that
time - in any case, in my suggestion of a sequenced series of settings I had
stated that:
Sk 1 or Sk 2 are more
harsh and appropriate for ACUTE conditions
Sk 3 or Sk 4 are softer,
less harsh and appropriate for CHRONIC conditions
(for
those of you with white binders from Jerry's Dallas trainings, you will
probably find a one page synopsis of Diag 0
information on the back of your binder - notice on the right side the pink
DAMPING - Shape of Wave Form info as well as the
yellow HOW to USE DAMPING info
immediately below it - there is a contradiction there - I made up that sheet
and gave it to Jerry - the yellow
info HOW to USE DAMPING shows to use Sk 2 or SK 3 if the condition
is NOT CHRONIC - so SK 2 or SK
3 can be used if the condition is
ACUTE - directly above in the pink DAMPING - Shape of the Wave Form section it
shows to use SK 1 or Sk 2 in an ACUTE condition - that's the contradiction!
Zulia today reminded me that:
Sk 1 or Sk 4 can be used for
CHRONIC conditions
Sk 2 or Sk 3 can be used for
ACUTE conditions
she also reminded me to be cautious to not
interpret the Russian views to strictly - these are clinical observations - it
is true that I place importance on information from the Russian sources - I
see value in there experience - I will definitely evaluate them in more
subjective light - I am reminded of a saying......"Everything old is not
great; everything new is not wonderful"
4) so the amended sequence series that I had
presented for Dick's consideration for the "severe chronic pain with an
inflammatory basis" is (the exact sequence is not so important - what is
important is that each setting is represented) - this sequence would be used
in the moving/"painting" style:
1) Sk 1, 15.3 Hz (2
minutes)
2) Sk 1, 29.7 Hz (2
minutes)
3) Sk 1, 59.3 Hz (2
minutes)
4) Sk 1, 90.3 Hz (2 minutes)
5) Sk 1, 121 Hz (2minutes)
6) Sk 4, 15.3 Hz (2 minutes)
7) Sk 4, 29.7 Hz (2 minutes)
8) Sk 4, 59.3 Hz (2 minutes)
9) Sk 4, 90.3 Hz (2 minutes)
10) Sk 4, 121 Hz (2minutes)
notice that with each of the 10 settings being used for 2 minutes, the
total amount of time of the application is 20 minutes
- 20 minutes is the amount of time the moving FM/VAR has been used over
an asymmetry or a "low number" zone
- 2 minutes is the standard amount of time the FM/VAR is applied to a
point in the Diag 1 mode after the zero/reconnect
in the "sequence series" above, I would suggest that attention
be given as to when any primary sign (stickiness, redness, sound change,
pain/sensation) either appears or intensifies - for example,if during
the SK 4, 90.3 Hz setting the primary signs appeared or intensified, I
believe that indicates that the organism is deriving more informational
significance from the characterstics of that setting - more time spent
in that setting would therefore be indicated
you will note that the "sequence series" above includes:
- 15.3 Hz which FM does not (FM is 29.7 to 121 Hz in
a cycle)
- 15.3 Hz is one of the frequencies suggested for
CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
you will also note that the "sequence series" does NOT
include:
- Sk 2 or Sk 3 which VAR does include (VAR is Sk 1,
Sk 2, Sk 3, Sk 4 in a cycle)
- Sk 2 and Sk 3 are damping settings recommended for
ACUTE conditions
a potential drawback of the "sequence series" approach is that
it requires that the operator manually shift to the next setting
approxiametely every two minutes with each setting being used
in recent emails I had proposed a "logic" (if that's even the
word for it) that the SCENAR works in great part by creating a context
of comparisons - I had also proposed that a "moving" FM/VAR
was like "trying to dance to two different songs at the same
time" - the concept was that the MOVING of the device created one
context for comparison by constantly being in different spots and that
the CONSTANT SHIFTING OF SIGNALCHARACTERISTICS in FM/VAR
created a second context of comparison - because both of these are
occurring at the same time, I imagine this to be "stressful"
to the organism in the same way that trying to dance to two simultaneous
songs would be "stressful" - I further imagine the organism
self-selecting one of the songs to dance to while shuffling the other
song out of dominance and in fact creating an Adaptation dynamic for the
second "ignored" song
I also wonder if the lack of 15.3 Hz (good for CHRONIC
INFLAMMATION) and the inclusion Sk 2 and Sk 3 (recommended for
ACUTE conditions) in some way limits or detracts from the greater
potential benefit of a moving FM/VAR in chronic conditions and "low
number"/NOBODY zones - I repeat "I wonder" - I don't know
- I must keep remembering Zulia's encouragement to not take these
references too strictly - on the other hand, it seems foolish to throw
away all the experience of 20 years of scientific and clinical
experience and fully accept any new version of SCENAR therapy that
anyone of us can dream up one day having treated a grand total of 12
patients! - a yes Grasshopper.........the Middle Path
this of course could be a bunch of baloney - the fact that practitioners
such as Jerry, Zulia, Barth, Paul and Dick (not light weights in their
prospective fields) have been getting "good results" with the
"moving" FM/VAR certainly makes me pay a whole lot of
attention to my own ideas - what I do keep wondering is what is it about
a "moving" FM/VAR that seems to generate "good
results" - as Cherl Ann recently pointed out...basically "who
cares!" (my words) as long as I get the results...I don't need to
know why or explore the theory - I am very respectful of that view -
however I personally feel the urge to investigate and explore - part of
it is my personality and part of it my responsibility (I am responsible
for general research, development and design for the new generations of
the SCENAR) - this email forum is currently the best way to communicate
with new Western SCENAR users in order to access their opinions,
suggestions and ideas - we really do benefit if we stay in communication
with each other
Zulia's thoughts about why the "moving" FM/VAR was generating
benefit in chronic conditions and "low number"/NOBODY zones
was that the technique created "random" samples of a variety
of signal characteristics and that because the device moves repeatedly
over the asymmetry or "low number"/NOBODY zone that the
organism self-selects information from an essentially chaotic
information stimulation and converts it into a meaningful information
pattern - she also stated that she certainly did not see the benefit
coming from any transfusing or "pumping" of "energy"
from the device into the organism - it is more likely that the
information is capable of stimulating an inherent activation of cellular
processes which translate into a sense of increased "energy"
by the patient
although not methodical and also possibly inefficient, this chaotic
information stimulation was simple for the operator to apply and still
obtain beneficial results for the patient - to be clear, this
explanation is not Zulia's full explanation but rather an interim and
incomplete theory - I admire Zulia's constant effort (and great success
in my mind) to not only learn the English necessary to express the depth
of Russian experience but to also expand the her own conceptual
vocabulary to meet the demands of an expansion of the SCENAR into the
West
I'm on the road right now and it's getting late (why is it I always get
to this stuff when it's time for bed........a few hours ago!) - here are
a few other topics that are rambling around in my brain - I plan to
explore them - if anyone wants to join in and risk looking silly along
with me, please jump in any time - feel free to email me privately if
you don't want to do this in such a public forum or you can also email
me and request my phone number if you'd rather talk about it instead of
type (God typing this stuff takes for ever and it's so much better in a
conversational give and take)
anyway here are a few other things I want to better understand (many of
these are things that on a superficial level seem obvious until you have
to explain it past the first question):
1) the concept of "energy level" - for example, when an
Initial Reaction is 54 and the second Ongoing Reaction is 55 -
this is evidence of a "low energy level";
-
when an Initial Reaction is 54 and the second Ongoing Reaction is 95 -
this is eveidence of a "high energy level"
- notice it is not whether the Initial Reaction is a
high number of a low number, it is the degree of difference between them
that
makes for evidence of the "energy level"
2) Prof Revenko in London explained that a high number in an Initial
Reaction could be either related to high or low energy
and a low number Initial Reaction could be related to either high or low
energy ( the above #1 points to this idea as I see it) -
however:
- a high number in an Initial Reaction is considered
evidence of an Inflammatory process or an "excess"
- a low number in an Initial Reaction is considered
evidence of a Degenerative process or a "deficiency"
- there is some sense of type/state of
"activity" in each
- how do #1 and #2 relate dynamically to each other?
3) the concept of DEGENERATIVE is unclear to me - Zulia expressed (again
briefly and extemporaneously) the thought that "degenerative"
in this context was a "breaking down" (my words) of cell
function - she imagined the cells to be dehydrated and undersized - not
able to do their "job" - we did also discuss
"degenerative" in terms of a cancer which is generally
classified as a degenerative disease and agreed that cancer did not fit
this idea of "degenerative" as a low activity (I did not say
"low energy"!) state - in fact cancer is more likely to be a
state of "high activity" as is evidenced by a high number
readings over the projection of tumorous activity - this point of
discussion led us to hypothesize the possibilty of the three
"activity" states:
- high number inflammatory excess
- low number degenerative deficiency
- high number degenerative excess (???)
4) in one of my earlier emails I referred to the Revenko analogy of
"Using the energy of the enemy for peaceful means" - I
understood this to mean that an Adaptation was "energy rich"
and that when the segregated (sp?) Adaptation was informationally
reconnect with the Central Processes of Self-Regulation that this
concentrated energy was then releasee back into the system as a whole to
be used by the system as a whole to resolve the Adaptation - as I
understand it from my conversation with Zulia, thisis in fact true but
more precisely in the case of an Adaptation marked by High Number/High
Activity/Inflammatory/Excess characteristics (this may include the
"maybe new" third category of the High Number/High
Activity/Degenerative/Excess) - it may not be true however of the
Adaptation marked by Low Number/Low Activity/Degenerative/Deficiency
I would very much like to know more about the Adaptation process and how
"energy" (what ever that is!) is managed in the
self-regulation processes of the organism - I've got pages of my own
theory but I strongly suspect it has holes in it that I'd like to fill
in before I blab it out to all of you (if in fact any one is actually
reading this stuff)
5) in Diag 0, when sliding the device, sometimes evidence of an
asymmetry appears as:
1) increased stickiness, redness, increased sound,
sensitivity to the patient
or
2) very slick with normal skin "texture",
pale, decreased sound, no sensation at all reported by the patient
I would like more discussion of the implications of these two types of
"asymmetry"
6) the role of the Autonomic Nervous system in the Adaptation process -
Jerry generally explains it by saying that every Adaptation process is
accompanied/managed by a sustained Sympathetic dominance (at least as I
understand him) - I share much of his view relative to Selye - I don't
disagree - however I am not sure that it is as one dimensional and
sequence specific as is generally explained
7) understanding that the Russian developers of the SCENAR therapeutics
at an aeraly stage both appreciated and assimilated traditional
Chinese/Oriental medical physiology into the SCENAR view, I'd like to
know more of how SCENAR principles correlate to Oriental medicine
this is a little like making a Christmas wish list when I was a young
boy!
I've got a few more but that's enough for now - if anyone wants to take
a shot, please do - meanwhile I'll keep talking to whomever will talk -
Jerry's still off in the Far East - I suspect he has good contributions
to make about many of these things - I look forward to his return -
Zulia is great to talk to but is sooooooooo busy, I must respect her
time - it's tough to speak directly to the Russians because I don't
speak or read Russian - they seem very willing but also very busy in
their own activities - as this new Western enterprise keeps maturing we
will no doubt have better and better communication
be well
I'm sure I'll think of more while laying in bed and awaiting sleep -
it's usually first thing in the morning upon awakening or often when I'm
in the shower that it all comes flooding in - perhaps on the Alaska
cruise some of us can have a few long discussions - that would be fun
(I"ve just got to get the water gods to approve of Dick's sea sick
medicine!)
G.
G.
and group
It is late, but I will try to summon enough neurons to add some thoughts
to your eloquent dissertation on the function of the Scenar, particularly as it
relates to moving FM/Var.
First, let me point out that we have received two conflicting views about
what the IR represents. When Zulia
came back from Russia early this year, she gave me a new chart from the Russians
which indicate the relative meaning of the IR = the IR’s indicate the
energetic status of the body. Essentially,
it charted that IR’s below 21 are energy deficient and the readings are
unreliable, IR’s between 21-35 are normal, etc. on up to >65 = athletic.
This chart duplicated my clinical impressions.
Then---as you know---Professor Revenko said in London that the IR’s do
not represent “energy levels”. It
was obvious that he was not the Russian on the team that gave Zulia the chart of
energy levels (they have their own Jerry/G. team---ha!)
Professor Revenko also made the statement that using FM/Var greater than
two minutes was a waste of time. I
then told him of my discovery that neuropathies could fairly easily be corrected
with 20 minutes of FM/Var painting. I
also pointed out that the normal color of the foot returned at two minutes while
the nerve sensations returned at 20 minutes.
I also pointed out the same time frame for correcting intestinal
obstruction scarring, back pain, etc. He
looked intrigued---he then explained something in Russian to Zulia that I
didn’t completely understand. It
had to do with the fact that there are ten “???” stacked, and that I must be
going through that stack of ten at two minutes each.
He then said he would try my technique when he went back home.
The point that must be considered is that tissue or organs that are
energetically dead (read Nobody, read a number <20 after about 15 seconds, or
give a quick reading still <20) begin to react after two minutes of FM/Var
painting and generally lose their stickiness, sound returns, and the
red-with-white-spots area disappears after 20 minutes.
(That
time can often be shortened by simultaneously applying the Collins diode at 90
or 180 degrees to the Scenar electrode).
That
is also the time that most pain disappears or dead nerves begin to function.
If you simply hold the device still on the area for two minutes, you will
not get the result.
Although I may be wrong that FM/Var is giving the body enough energy to
create an abundance of its normal healing mechanisms, it is certainly what seems
to be happening. Whatever is
happening, it is a useful Gestalt for the practitioner.
Painting with FM/Var around Pirogov’s ring is also useful in patients
in which you are having trouble getting Little Wings.
You will usually find stickiness in the Little Wings areas.
While you are painting, you will often see the muscles start to twitch.
Then Little Wings will work with 3:1, Sk2, 121.
Using the three paths/six points will identify the nerves---and therefore
the troublesome organs---which need help. Almost
100% of the time, the nerves that require reconnection (taking to zero) will
give you stickiness, etc. on the horizontal and often over the involved organ
with FM/Var painting. Each site of
stickiness generally requires 20 minutes of painting for resolution.
However, the results are certainly worth the effort.
I agree with Zulia when she says that the most effective treatment is
from the work on the horizontals.
In summary, I am sure I don’t really know what is happening---at least
not all that is happening---with the device.
However, I do know from experience that when the IR’s are below 20 or
Nobody, I need to paint the areas with FM/Var for 20 minutes to bring them back
to life = get readings above 20 and return of some function.
I also know from experience that the nerves that are identified by the
IR’s using Stereo on the back correlate very well with the patient’s
history. One will also find
asymmetries on that horizontal (or that dermatome) and painting them with FM/Var
generally brings resolution to the problem.
The multiple other settings of the Scenar are generally not necessary
unless you do not get an effect from this process.
Then you simply try other combinations until you see a change in the
situation. A change means that you
are going to be successful.
)
Zulia was also clear to remind me that FM/VAR is most certainly used in the Diag
1 mode after the zero/reconnect phase of the process - in this approach the
FM/VAR application is stationary on the spot/point being treated - this should
not be confused with the exploration of a "moving" FM/VAR application I’m
sure this is a typo by G.. FM/Var
cannot be used in Diag 1—it only can be set when you are in Diag 0.
There
is a dual approach to finding the “where” and “how” to treat.
The Eastern approach is that if you can find that exact “magic spot”,
one acupuncture needle would correct everything.
This is like having water dammed up and you find the one log that will
release the entire dam and let the river flow again.
This is represented by the conventional acupuncture symbol with black on
one side and white on the other with corresponding spots of the opposite color
in each. The other approach is the
Western approach in which things are identified as normal or abnormal by the
“bell-shaped curve”. In this
model, things that are too high or too low are equally abnormal.
I view this (in my typical “lumper” mode) that the stereo technique
will help me use comparisons to find the “magic spot”.
I then alarm and reconnect it. I
then view the high and low numbers to help me find the sticky spots on the
horizontals. I “pump in energy to create an abundance of the body’s normal
healing neuropeptides” using FM/Var.
It may not be elegant or correct, but it works. Jerry

Subject: [EnergeticMedicine] Scenar
Last night a friend... 73 year old female came for
a visit.
She has had the flue and is recovering
slowly....I gave her a Scenar treatment.
Doing the diagnostic starting at C1down the
spine etc. there was nobody...
literally...no numbers... 3times a number appeared ..very
fleetingly with no opportunity to
alarm.....her face was better.... I got two
readings which I then alarmed,
reconnected and Fm Var'ed.
While I made dinner she sat and held the Scenar on
her neck ...the points Jerry just pointed
out a couple of days ago...during dinner her nose
started running incessantly....as if she was
just hit with the worst cold....this went on
through the evening. This morning she called... nose finished running
and her hearing has much improved! She is one
happy camper ...she had just days ago made an
appointment for a hearing aid.
I am puzzled about her back giving NO
readings at all....what am I to make of it?
This woman has never had so much as an antibiotic
her entire life, the odd flu or cold from which she'd normally recover
quickly. I have done the diagnostic with some
very sick folks and have never had no readings at all????

in a recent email I discussed the various possible
"meanings" of the NOBODY finding - to review:
1) the device is not physically
touching the skin - NO CONTACT
2) the deivice is touching but
the skin is too dry or calloused for electrical interaction - NO CONDUCTIVITY
3) the device is touching the
skin and there is electrical interaction however the information being
accessed is outside of the processing parameters of the device
- NO
COMPREHENSION
- in
the case of NO COMPREHENSION, the information may be either - EXCESSIVE
(meaning the information is too excited to be processed)
- DEFICIENT ( meaning the information is too inhibited to be
processed)
- in
this case neither the device or the central processes of the body are deriving
useful information from this local site
in the case of your 73 year old friend, before
interpreting the session I would ask two things:
1) was her skin
"moist" enough for adequate electrical conductivity? - older persons
sometimes suffer from dry skin
- skin
conductivity is also indirectly related to environment and climate
- a
very warm treatment room may cause a person to perspire
- the
humidity of Miami in July and the lack of humidity in Palm Desert also have
significant indirect influences
- in a
recent conversation with Dick Kratz, the case of a woman was discussed in
which the skin was so dry that it seemed impossible to get timely responses
- he
decided to slightly moisten the skin with water and found it very easy to get
readings with conventional response times, etc
- I
support this decision because it was his estimation that the extremely dry
climate of the desert was the main reason for dimiished conductivity
- after
the water, the IR readings were higher than what one would normally expect
however this is of little consequence if one considers the underlying
principles
- the
organism reaps significant information from the context of comparison
- if an
IR is 85 then 89 or higher (+4 or more) becomes a new site of significance -
it is the +4 or more which is valuable and not the number itself
- the
Asymmetry is evoked by the pattern of the algorhythm irrespective of the
numbers themselves
- I
would not recommend moistening the skin if the NOBODY results in an area with
sufficient innate moisture
2) what was the "power
level" of the device?
- we
know to set the "power level" for Diag 1 mode at "annoying but
not painful"
- in the "add water" example above, the additional moisture would
make for a stronger sensation for the "power level"
- the "power level" would then need to be decreased to arrive at the
"annoying but not painful" level
- this would indirectly lower the general IR readings and create an acceptable
compensation for the fact that water was added to the skin
- a
"power setting" which is too low fails to provoke the INFORMATIONAL
ACCESS required for an Initial Reaction (IR)
- the
result of working Diag 1 mode with a "power setting" too low will
be:
a) all of your IR readings will be artificially lowered and not be
representative of an overall measure of the degree of INFORMATIONAL
ACCESS
- interpretations of the BACKGROUND NUMBER will be inaccurate
b) numerous NOBODY readings because the information required for minimal
processing has not been evoked
if neither of the above (#1 and #2) is judged to
be the likely reason for the numerous NOBODY readings, then we would have to
assume that the reason is because the information which WAS being accessed was
either EXCESSIVE or DEFICIENT for proper processing
if so, the organism was having a hard time
COMMUNICATING and consequently, the device could not COMPREHEND the
informational dynamics - furthermore it is expected that the central processes
of the organism would also have a hard time COMMUNICATING with this local site
the fact that you obtained adequate IR readings on
the face is significant - it reflects both the issue of ASYMMETRY and
THRESHOLD
fundamentally, the SCENAR relies on contrasts and
comparisons for its informational stimulation of self-regulation dynamics -
there are innumerable examples of this principle to found upon inspection of
SCENAR techniques
the 3 Paths and 6 Points well illustrate the
concept
consider the different facets of the technique
which rely on contrasts and comparisons:
1) the back is large - the face
is small
2) the back is posterior - the
face is anterior
3) the back is higher or
superior - the face is lower or inferior
4) the back has many points for
IR - the face has only a few points for IR
5) on the back, the
practitioner's Left is the subject's Left - on the face, the practitioner's
Left is the subject's Right
6) there are probably more
examples but at least these come to mind right now
in the specific case of your 73 year old friend,
there is an additional contrasting comparison:
- the back had basically no IR
readings to work with - the face did have IR readings to work with
- this pattern ALONE yields
significant information to the organism and contributes to the
self-regulation requirements necessary for resolution of her
"flu/cold"
but
more importantly, this evoked pattern provides the organism with the
information required for the mobilization of resources and activities related
to the
DEPTH
HEALING - DEPTH HEALING goes far beyond the superficiality of common
complaint and involves the resolution of core adaptation processes
if we as new SCENAR practitioners fail to
appreciate the profound implications of ASYMMETRY, I believe we will miss the
opportunity to utilize the SCENAR in the DEPTH HEALING of our clients/patients
in your treatment of your friend, there is also
the expression of THRESHOLD - in all natural processes, the system responds
immediately when adequate stimulus is achieved to initiate a process -
the moment that one little pebble shifts its position on the mountainside, the
avalanche commences - a threshold was reached and a process initiated - the
degree of expression of that process is a factor involving many complex
variables but the initiation of the process occurs in one event moment
if one considers the IR as a expression of the
degree of INFORMATIONAL ACCESS at a particular site then it is easier to
appreciate that the organism as a whole does not necessarily require a large
volume of information in order to set a regulatory response in motion - even
if there are only a few sites that participate in creating the information
pattern, the system will respond IF the informational THRESHOLD has been
achieved
in the case where only a limited number of
measured sites contribute to the information pattern, this is a reflection of
the tolerance limits of the organism for communication and interaction - its
not how much but how well - it would seem impossible that one tiny pebble
could "cause" an avalanche - one does not need to do a
"lot" in SCENAR therapy to achieve a lot - the caveat is that the
system, although responding immediately, needs a certain amount of time to
express the response to its fullest capacity - the extent of the response is
not a factor of THRESHOLD - THRESHOLD relates to the initiation of the
response
if a system can only communicate in a
limited pattern then that is its tolerance - in my attempts to understand the
effects of generalized techniques as proposed by Jerry and others, I am
assuming that the benefit comes by expanding the organism's tolerance for more
informational activity - an expanded tolerance is good because the organism is
able to avail itself to more information - this expanded tolerance however is
not the patterned information itself - the patterned information is a
derivative of the Dynamic - Asymmetry - Small Asymmetry - Opposiation - Cycle
process
if fully support SCENAR techniques such as FM/Var
to the carotid or/carotid sinus area - in my best evaluation of their action
and merit (and I am definitely open to more learning in this area),
generalized techniques such as:
1) Little Wings,
2) Pirogov Ring,
3) FM/Var to the carotid,
4) "moving
FM/Var" over broad areas of low IR readings or many NOBODY readings,
5) 2 minute default or
FM/Var to the 5 Point Star on the belly,
6) etc
are a
valuable SUBSET of SCENAR techniques
as a subset, I believe that they are very
effective in shifting the autonomic disposition of the organism and expanding
the tolerance of the organism for more informational activity - this alone
offers a significant benefit to the organism - plus it generally "feels
good" to the subject - they are easy to apply and are generally befitting
to most every subject - it is likely that in some cases they provide the
stimulus necessary for a more successful utilization of the techniques that
rely on the potency of the ASYMMETRY assuming that the practitioner
chooses to engage the organism via the ASYMMETRY
however (as is obvious and evident) I do not
believe that these techniques, which I refer to in category as
"generalized techniques", represent the core and principle benefits
of the SCENAR - I believe that the core and principle benefits of the SCENAR
are derived from a sound understanding and utilization of the ASYMMETRY - this
combined with the fundamental of THRESHOLD constitute, in my opinion, the
heart of SCENAR therapy
Jerry has stated in a past postings (remember he's
a great friend and respected associate) that he has noted and is impressed
that "the Russians" (rapidly becoming a mythic reference for us here
in the West!) remain open to change and new ideas and techniques - this is
undoubtledly true based on my own experience as well
in London, where we had the chance to study with
Prof Revenko, Revenko showed us a small collection of "new" SCENAR
techniques illustrating the ongoing evolution of the body of work - yet I
believe it is easy to miss a crucial point - the new
techniques are expressions of the same core principles of:
1) Dynamic
2) Asymmetry
3) Small Asymmetry
4) Opposition
5) Cycle
I was totally fascinated by a demonstration given
by Revenko in which he did a full "SCENAR" session on a patient
WITHOUT using a SCENAR device!!!!!!!
it was so elegant and methodical :
1) first he created the Dynamic
by having the person bend to left and then to the right
2) then he had the person bend
a second time to whatever side was the more significant in recognition of the
general Asymmetry which had emerged from
the
Dynamic
3) then he continued creating a
context for comparison by introducing other bi-lateral positions such as twist
left/twist right etc - each time repeating the
more
significant sided movement - this further isolated the Asymmetry to the level
of specificity known as the Small Asymmetry
4) by moving through all the
vectors of possible biomechanical movements of the torso, the organism was
given a very broad set of bilateral comparisons - this
is the
Opposition
5) information patterns and
relationships were established by the body positions and repetitions were
reinforced by light finger taps at key sites - this extends
the process into action
responses which have looped periodicity in the organism - this is the Cycle
other SCENAR techniques reflect to me an
appreciation of primitive dynamics hidden within an organism - an excellent
example to me is the 4 vector "painting" of an Asymmetry -
moving along a pathway, the practitioner is encourgaed to follow an unbroken
flow normally along the central access of the torso or limb - when a site is
located with stickiness, redness, sound, sensation, the practitioner then
shifts into a new pattern of 4 vectors
this is a perfect example of the SCENAR taking
advantage of archaic polarized relationships in the organism - these polarized
relationships predate the expressed features of the organism - they are more
primitive than the meridians, nervous system, lymphatic system, etc -
polarized relationships follow strict directional rules
up to down is very different than down to up -
left to right is very different than right to left
the SCENAR "horizontal" is a primitive
expression of the polarity of the organism than the neurological
"dermatome" which although similar at times should note be confused
with the "horizontal" - the "horizontals" are also more
primitive than the meridians known in acupuncture
consider the 4 vector "painting" or
stroking of an Asymmetry located along a "horizontal" - this 4
vector pattern also reflects the primitive polarity and will powerfully
connect at an informational level with the organism if the polarized pattern
of "painting" is followed - one should refer to the pattern of
Asymmetry "painting" from the original Russian notes and look
closely
the directions are at perpendiculars - no
diagonals and certainly not helter-skelter - the stroking must follow certain
directional angles if the information evoked is to connect at a primitive
level of self-regulation
notice that:
1) the downward strokes proceed
in strips from Left to Right
2) the right to left strokes
proceed from Bottom to Up
3) the left to right strokes
proceed from Top to Down
4) the upward strokes proceed
from Right to Left
this pattern is profound and primitive -
dimesionally it lays the grid for three dimensional form - how much attention
is given to this pattern dynamic?
typically,the Asymmetry will be more sticky in one
direction than the other? - if it were simply a matter of physical
perspiration of even electromagnetic impedence, then the stickiness etc would
be uniform in every direction - the fact that it is not and that the
practitiioner is encouraged to work to resolve the Asymmetry in all 4
directions points to an informational response on a primitive level of
communication in the organism
I believe that the activation of this level of
primitive polarized relationships is more effective in activating
self-regulatory resolution in the organism than any other technical feature
represented in the SCENAR
I expect the most powerful pattern of all is the
is the spiral and any practitioner that can tease out Asymmetry in the spiral
dynamics of the organism is going directly into the very existential basis on
self-regulation - I know that Zulia's personal work with the SCENAR is rapidly
proceeding in that direction - I am eager to remain active as her student and
dream of a time and situation when we all have more access to her experience -
add more access to the brilliance of Revenko and we have exciting times ahead
I think that's all for right now - if anyone has
any comments of any kind about all this stuff, please feel free to jump in -
Jerry and I tend to dominate the forum sometime but that's mainly because we
like to hear ourselves talk!
bye bye
