This book is a MUST READ for anyone exploring mind-body connections. Richard Flook, a Master Trainer in NLP has helped to develop Meta-Medicine® a method of identifying and releasing the neuropsychological roots of pain, stress and distress.A Meta-Medicine® practitioner clarifies when and where in people's lives they were traumatized and how those traumas imprinted themselves in their bodymind to cause psychological and physical symptoms and diseases. Such shocks include the following elements: they are unexpected, dramatic and isolating, and the person has no strategy for dealing with them. Once having identified these crucial issues, a person may use any of a variety of techniques to release them, such as NLP, WHEE, EFT, etc.
What makes this approach and book unique are the brain scans which demonstrate rings in particular areas of the brain associated with the symptoms. For instance, a person with lung disease with demonstrate a ring in the area of the brain related to lung functions. This is very exciting, pioneering confirmation of the mind-body connection.
Right and left brain hemisphere functions are affected by stressors. When a person experiences a major stress, this may block functions in one side or the other. When both sides are affected, symptoms are more likely to manifest. Identifying and clearing symptoms related to each side of the brain leads to rapid releases of the symptoms and illnesses.
I was fortunate to be able to work with Richard at the Healing the Healers Conference in Iceland in October, 2009. Richard helped a woman identify traumatic issues in her lives that manifested in bodymiind expressions as a bipolar disorder. We used WHEE to release aspects of these issues, and hopefully will be able to observe changes in the course of this woman's life.
I have one serious criticism, however, of Richard's theoretical framework. He identifies the levels of Mind, Body, Spirit, Social and Environment as defining a person's life experiences. Do you notice any important element missing? In my personal experience and in helping others resolve their life challenges, difficult Emotions are crucial to identify and resolve.
This is a landmark book that will be a help to anyone seeking to understand and address the mysteries of health and illness.
