THE DEVICES and CREATIVE VISUALIZATION, POWER BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS - LINKING MINDS EYE & AND THOUGHTSTREAM, SYNERGIZING THE POWERFUL PHOTIC DRIVING/AUDIO INPUT BLEND - Health

The goggles pictured here create a world that although virtual, can be applied to the real world,never approached until recently.I stumbled onto a program of brain exercising, re-creating some of the multitudes of "grooves" in our brains that make up coherent mind/body connections, an example might be the swinging your arms execute as you walk. I continually practised this simple series of movements until I was able to walk in what appears to be a normal gaite. I began to analyse the parts of me that were no longer working, usually mind to body coordination. This has been an extraordinary journey for me, certainly not joyful, but interesting beyond belief.
IMPORTANT: I debated with myself whether to present this method in an open way, as opposed to something more obtuse. Knowing that an indirect way may offer each person a greater number of illuminatinating experiences for self teaching, I have opted for what to me seeems more open and direct.I was a student of Bruce Lee, and he never described himself as a "teacher". He said his role was to get you to teach yourself, to observe what your body and mind were doing, how they were relating to each other, during the gung fu techniques.With that in mind I must now tell you what is the most important aspect of your new project...It is the energy you will expend, the "journey" if you will, that will hold the key to your reccovery. My own research indicates that an agressive, VERY agressive attitude, is of prime importance in pursuit of stroke recovery. What you learn about yourseolf is what this is all about.An example: After playing some of the Theta tapes,and in a semi-resting posture, I created an alter-ego, a point of intense light,about 3 feet above me representing my objective self... I didn't read anywhere that I should so, It simply rose in my consciousness as a bubble in water,I asssume it came from that areaa of mind known as Superconsciousness. As I audited my movements, and execises, I became aware that the point of light I had created was giving me its input. A second, more objective, point of view. This works in the dream state too. I dreamt I was stnding on a hill, with several people standing around me,I decided to show them how to fly. I showed them if I fasten my gase on a distant cloud, I can pull myself to it by holding my attention there. In the waking state, I use this targeting method to keep my arm away from my body, suspended in space, to keep tension on it, to strenthen the shoulder muscles.This might be a good time to relate the often told story of how children, with cancer, are aken into a group, and taught guided imagery. They are shown how to visualize the cancerous cells as dirty useless cells. They then create thousands of "good-guy cells",often in white cowboy hats, attacking the bad cells, killing them. This visualization would seem fanciful if it wasn't so incredibly successful, more so with children, than with adults, who tend to be so grounded to mechaniistic reality, they assume their mind cannot be harnessed in this way. Creative visualization is an integral part of the advanced martial artist.
What problems can be treated by Biofeedback?
"Biofeedback has been found helpful by researchers and clinicians to help in the treatment of stress related illnesses, STROKES, rehabilitation, neurological processes... Biofeedback is also an effective approach to neuromuscular re-education and rehabilitation for symptoms related to injury, STROKE, and incontinence. Neurofeedback, a biofeedback technique which monitors brain waves, has been found to be an effective treatment for epilepsy, attention deficit/hyperactivity as well as addictive behaviors such as alcoholism. Biofeedback instruments adapted for sports training or work site interventions provide athletes or workers with the ability to refine their skills and efficiency and improve"body-mind mechanics".Association for Applied Psychophysiology & Biofeedback.We are barely scratching the surface of the Human Potential movenment.Scientists have learned more about the brain in the last decade than in all of previous history, and the implications of the latest research are clear: The human brain is far more powerful, and has the potential for immensely greater growth and transformation, than was ever before imagined. These discoveries may constitute the most significant development in learning since the invention of writing.

REALITY-NEW PATH FOR STROKE RECOVERY
(From the National Stroke Association, Volume 15, Number 10 - October 1998)

Rehabilitative technologies for stroke patients are growing at a rapid pace with one of the most exciting developments occurring in virtual reality.

Virtual reality allows humans to interact with a computer system in such a way that simulated actions or motions appear and feel like they are actually occurring. For example, at the Sister Kenny Institute in Minneapolis, MN, stroke survivors are using virtual reality technology to create a visual picture of their homes or cities to learn how to maneuver wheelchairs with ease and safety.

Another virtual reality therapy involves training a stroke survivor's brain to see a neglected side, if they suffer from right or left-sided neglect.

"As the population continues to age, stroke rates are going to continue to rise. With new technologies like virtual reality, we will hopefully be able to improve rehabilitative care and get patients better, quicker," said Dr. Tim Bowman, Project Director, Advanced Rehabilitative Technologies Center, Sister Kenny Institute.

Virtual reality research for rehabilitative medicine has been taking place for about five years, but has piqued increased interest and funding just within the past few years, according to Bowman.

"There are just a handful of institutes who are researching the use of virtual reality in a rehabilitation setting. Our institute is hoping to help validate some of their theories through the practical use of the technology. We've seen the use of this technology help more than 100 patients," said Bowman.

"Patients get used to the same type of therapy, but with the virtual reality and video-game-like motions patients seem to stay more motivated and engaged longer. They think of it as entertainment rather that rehabilitation and are moving beyond plateaus," said Bowman.

However, even with the amazing possibilities of virtual reality, there are some drawbacks to the therapy, including the heaviness or bulkiness of the head-monitored virtual reality device, motion sickness, and the intensity of the therapy's immersiveness.

"The virtual reality devices are getting lighter with the continued development of the technology. Several patients experience motion sickness due to the intensity of the therapy, but it is usually not too severe and passes relatively quickly. To help these patients still utilize some of the technology, we may direct them towards the use of more traditional video therapy," Bowman said.

However, even with these drawbacks, Bowman and his researchers have high hopes for the future of virtual rehabilitation, "Our hope is that virtual reality and other rehabilitative technologies will be able to be used in the home, possibly through the Internet, called telerehab. This technology is definitely going to revolutionize rehabilitation, we just need more data and technologies to help capture the information better and more quickly," said Bowman.

In 2001, Public interest in, and awareness of, lightlsound (LIS) stimulation technology continues to grow at a rapidly increasing pace. Theta Technologies Inc is incorporating this technology are finding their way into high-tech gadget stores and other mass-market outlets, psychotherapeutic and other professional applications have been thus far insufficiently explored and documented. Yet a number of open-minded therapists, clinicians and researchers have been working with LIS technology for years, and a significant percentage of Theta
systems are sold to people with Ph.D., MD, DDS, and other professional credentials.
One of those researcher clinicians is Dr. Thomas Budzynski. Dr. Budzynski has experimented with LIS stimulation for a number of years, and has been working exclusively with the MindsEye Plus and Courier systems for the past two years. His practice at St. Luke's Medical Center includes both biofeedback and psychotherapy. Dr. Budzynski performed pioneering research in the field of biofeedback while at the University of Colorado, and developed the Twilight Learning Device and other innovative inventions. He is presently investigating various applications of "priming" phenomenon in programming the subconscious mind. Dr. Budzynski's decades of open minded research into leading edge technologies led me to ask him to write this guide. Although intended for the
CliniCal psychotherapist, its implications and potential applications are clearly
much broader. The numerous observations and suggestions included are based upon his own experience with LIS stimulation, utilized alone and in conjunction with other techniques. We hope that you will use the materials herein as a point of reference and departure for your own clinical or personal applications. We believe that the most interesting and exciting uses for LIS stimUlatiOn have yet to be developed, and hope that this guide will suggest ways in which you can participate in this dynamic, multifaceted new field.
Finally, included in this guide are a number of references to related literature.
This Clinical Guide is the first in a projected series in the field of Neurotechnology. A second volume will include an extensive annotated bibliography of published papers on photic and auditory stimulation and evoked potentials, and the study of the relationship of BEG to altered states of consciousness.
Certainly the field is growing rapidly and, as a result of the proliferation of the newer commercial devices, a rash of anecdotal reporting has found its way into the popular press. Hutchison (1990) devoted almost the entire issue of volume I, number 2 of his exciting journal, Megabrain Report, to a discussion of 1/5, including very early reports. With all due respect we will borrow some of this material although we urge you to subscribe to this extremely informative newsletter/journal.
Since we will be discussing characteristics of brainwaves (EEG) it might be a good time to examine briefly the basic frequency bands of interest. Brainwaves, as measured on the surface of the scalp, tend to fall into certain frequency and amplitude categories which are associated with states of excitation or cortical arousal. Thus, a highly alert, focused individual will usually show a primarily beta EEG pattern. The amplitude will be relatively small. Some sleep researchers consider the theta state as Stage 1 sleep. As one shifts even deeper into Stage 2 sleep the theta pattern is interrupted by sleep spindles or short bursts of higher frequency, larger amplitude waves.

YOUR INNER GUIDE TRICKS YOUR BRAIN, WITH INCREDIBLE RESULTS
Mirror Therapy Works for Stroke Victims. Stroke patients who
have problems moving an arm or a leg--months after their strokes--appear to be
helped by watching the movement of a healthy limb in a mirror, according to a
story by Medical Tribune News Service.

Researchers at the Brain and Perception Laboratory at the University of
California, San Diego, announced the discovery at a meeting sponsored by The
Lancet, a medical journal.

Doctors place stroke victims in front of a mirror so that they can see both the
healthy and the stroke-affected limbs at the same time--either arms or legs. The
patient then moves the good limb, and apparently the brain is tricked by the
mirror image into believing that the bad limb has been moved.

As a result, the brain "'remembers' how to use that limb again," enabling
patients to re-learn the movement in the affected limb.

The first patient to profit from the method--after just several weeks--practiced
for 15 minutes two times a day. Her condition--a tremor when trying to move
her affected arm--was said to have "improved substantially," despite the fact
that her stroke occurred 15 months before the treatment began.

Since then 10 patients--all six months after having had their strokes--took part
in a randomized trial that proved successful.

According to Eric Altschuler, the medical student who presented the findings,
people affected by strokes "have problems with the sensory feedback
[involved] with the position sense of their muscles." The mirror therapy
apparently replaces "that absent or deficient position with vision."

The therapy was based on earlier work by Dr. V.S. Ramachandran,
Altschuler's lab director, who treated phantom limb syndrome in people who
continued to have pain in their missing limbs. By using this therapy, these
patients utilize the brain structure that has been retained--and get pain relief.

The mirror therapy for stroke patients is best done under professional
supervision, Altschuler said.

"It is your self image that sets the limits for what you can or cannot achieve".Dr. Maxwell Maltz, author of the best seller, Psycho-Cybernetics
"These kids imagine their white blood cells are wearing white hats shooting their cancer cells dead, and amazingly, most of them recover from even the most virulent forms of cancer" Dr. Donald Wessman
"Our belief systems are the most singularly most powerful forces in our lives". Harry Palmer, author of Creativism.
"The subjects, (college student volunteers), were told that we expected them to move the needles counterclockwise, using only the power of their minds,and because of our "expectation", they simply moved the needles backwards. Dr. John Gilbert,
