Proactive Evolutionary Development means consciously developing the ability to engage and interact with our own biology to promote the evolution of an emerging developmental system that advances human consciousness and biology. This emerging developmental system has the ability to activate a systemic, or whole body, righting or healing reflex. This high level of conscious mind/brain/ body communication can not only promote major shifts in the course of most diseases, pain and suffering, but radically changes the way stress and trauma are stored and processed in the human body. Proactive evolutionary development means creating expanded states of consciousness previously reserved to those skilled in years of mindfulness therapy and meditation. Most importantly, this approach is highly reproducible and evidence based. We are currently in a time of unprecedented advances in neuroscience and brain imaging technology. These advances have given us new insight on how the nervous system works, and the hows and whys of human healing, consciousness and development. It has been found that working with the part of the brain called the Middle Prefrontal Cortex, increases “somatic awareness,” or body sensory feedback. This, along with specific Autonomic Nervous System stimulation and sedation, produces something extraordinary. Given a safe environment with a skilled therapist, an involuntary action or reflex can take over the nervous system. Once activated, it seems to be driven by an innate evolutionary master organizing force. We are living in a society in which fear tends to predominate all other emotions. Although many of our fears appear to be coming from external sources, there is actually no greater fear than the fear of ourselves. The feeling of not having control over our own bodily symptoms, pains, diseases, emotions or thoughts when they arise promotes in our culture a great sense of foreboding that in turn seems to perpetuate their acceleration. Our sorrows are hard to touch. Many people resist the personal and psychological roots of their suffering; there is so much pain in truly experiencing our bodies, our personal histories, our limitations...We fear the personal and its sorrow because we have not learned how it can serve as our practice and open our hearts..
– Jack Kornfield, PhD Here at Evolutionary Healing Institute, through Unified Therapy™, we offer a safe way to pro-actively interface with our body’s biology that will forever change our concepts of the role of disease and human suffering, and teach us to use our perceived obstacles as potential energy for change. Evolutionary Healing Institute is teaching and advancing research about the language of brain-body feedback. This is about developing parts of your brain that have been dormant or seldom used. It is essential in this 21st century society of increased emotional, physical and planetary stress and trauma for humans to evolve their brains with new and evolutionary approaches to life if we are going to end the individual and global cycle of suffering and disease. A balanced and evolving nervous system, when exposed to new stressors or old fears, expends minimal energy to produce maximal results. The nervous system is a self-regulating, self-organizing system under evolutionary control. When subjected to a stressor or life challenge, its efficiency is measured in how well it is able to adapt, recover, learn and eventually evolve into something new and more efficient. That’s what growth, healing and positive evolutionary development are all about!
- Dr. Paul Canali This is the organizing force, which Dr. Canali refers to as the “Master System.” This Master System seems to take control of all the other bodily systems. With 4.5 billion years of evolutionary intelligence behind it, everything seems possible. When the Master System is initiated, major systemic healing responses are activated. Systemic means the whole body gets involved, and positive regulation can occur anywhere from physical structures (i.e. spine, muscles and tendons) to hormones and neurotransmitters. In this grand internal mind, brain, body balancing event many diseases, including psychological and mental conditions previously resistant to treatment, respond in remarkable ways. When these systemic responses are activated, people begin to experience themselves in a completely different way. Individuals’ nervous systems begin self-regulating, organizing and the body begins physically moving in ways that were not thought possible, and cannot be purposefully replicated. A person going through this state is fully conscious, and participating in what is happening to them without fear of the process itself... This is a key parameter in any significant healing, or super conscious experience. When individuals are consciously experiencing this innate process, they inevitably sense that this process is greater than their individual fears, beliefs and diseases. As they merge deeper into this somatic experience and explore a new way of communicating with their biology first hand, it becomes possible to surrender to this powerful process. Participating in this process promotes stabilization of the Autonomic Nervous System, which leads to the transformation and evaporation of fear. Fear and its more persistent cousin, anxiety is at the roots of almost all emotional disorders.
-Joseph E. LeDoux, PhD, Neuroscientist, NYU, author of: The Emotional Brain, 1998; and Synaptic Self, 2002. People experiencing this are no longer afraid of their own bodily sensations, symptoms, emotions or thoughts. Fear is replaced by deep mindful states, the body-mind connects in a super conscious way that allows individuals to be guided and directed in new and extraordinary ways... Amazingly, the systemic changes that are experienced on the inside, during one of the sessions can also be documented on the outside on film and internally measured with scientific equipment as well. According to Dr. Canali, "We are witnessing, documenting and capturing on film that which has never been seen before." This is true bio-feedback without the machines. Once these internal neural connections are established it removes the dependency on any external equipment. The development of these new neural pathways (neurogenesis) empowers the nervous system to move beyond one time state experiences, and catharsis, found in many alternative and new age therapies. Repetitive afferent autonomic impulses potentiate the nervous system, creating new neural connections that result in a highly reproducible form of internal communication, a flexible brain (neuroplasticity), and learning. This communication is ever evolving to create in us a more adaptable nervous system, capable of handling internal and external stressors and challenges, that would not only have previously overwhelmed us, but now can be used to drive and advance the very process of human evolutionary development. At Evolutionary Healing Institute we support the shifting of responsibility of health to the patient by empowering them with reproducible tools for this noblest of human endeavors. This enables a shift from helplessness and feeling the victim to becoming a conscious collaborator in advancing their own health and evolving biology... Taking control of our lives and health includes advancing brain-body feedback, and fearlessly interacting with our own physiology. It also requires making truly informed decisions. We live in the information age, and we must be willing to investigate and let go of decades of unsubstantiated information, replacing it with reproducible, evidence-based therapy and a trust of innate somatic experience if we are to end the perpetual and unconscious cycle of human suffering. The realization that a vast amount of human disease, suffering, its expression and outcomes can be changed by altering key aspects of human biology and consciousness seems incredible, yet it is consistently proving to be reproducible. Such a discovery, when supported by larger research studies, will be known as a major breakthrough in the healing arts and sciences. It is no longer about stress management, but about evolving consciousness (brain-body feedback) so that old and new stressors lose their negative biological impact, and now stress becomes a positive force for advancing consciousness and the human evolutionary processes itself...
