A new approach to lessening your allergy woes

Morphogenic Field Technique (MFT) testing now offers three “unwind” techniques. Joining the Brain Unwind Experience (BUE) and Emotional Unwind Experience (EUE) is the new Allergy Unwind Experience (AUE). (See the July/August 2022 and the September/November 2022 Red Clover Clinic Newsletters for information on the first two.) This article will focus on the third, AUE. The idea of this system is to reduce the allergic load over time and improve the resilience of the immune system when exposed to allergens.

Many of you have experienced this method since I began doing AUE in September. Most people have felt improvements each time they have it done. One had her allergic cough reduced and another noticed increased flexibility in a restricted joint; some have felt increased energy; others have noticed that their allergy symptoms didn’t get as bad as usual this fall; and I myself had a noticeable reduction in inflammatory pain. 

 What is an allergy?

An allergy is an inappropriate immune response from the brain to a substance. Allergies and sensitivities come about and are exacerbated by an overload to the immune system, i.e., repeated, frequent, or constant exposure to one or more substances. 

 Allergic reactions appear to be very similar to an autoimmune response. Since our immune system has very little control over what enters our environment, a huge response to an allergen can be viewed as our immune system’s failed attempt to attack something in the environment. Since it can’t attack the environment, it attacks the person instead. The more compromised the person’s immune system is, the greater degree of allergic reaction will ensue.

 It takes a lot of energy for the body to produce the symptoms of an allergic reaction. All systems in the body become physiologically stressed when the body is having a specific immune response, causing extreme fatigue. This is why it is sometimes difficult to distinguish an allergic attack from the common cold.

 It is important to differentiate between a standard allergic response and anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs rapidly and affects multiple systems in the body. AUE can help to lessen/clear symptoms of standard allergies, i.e. sneezing, congestion, itching, swelling, skin rash. Anaphylaxis requires immediate medical attention.

The Allergy Unwind Experience

This method involves a test kit that is divided into two sections. The first group of test vials includes energies that help to identify weaknesses in the immune response that contribute to the body’s allergic overreaction to the immediate environment. The second group of test vials includes the energies of the allergens. The nice part is that we can add extra vials of allergens that we suspect if they aren’t already in the kit.

 As with other MFT methods, we use muscle testing to identify both the immune and allergen vials that the body is responding to. Then we go through a process of tapping acupuncture points/meridians, while holding the Bio-resonator coins (see the July/August 2022 Red Clover Clinic Newsletter for an explanation of what these are). Once the routine is complete, we recheck to make sure the body no longer responds to the vials. This process can be repeated every 12 hours, or just with each appointment. As the “unwind” terminology implies, it may take several clearings over time to sufficiently reduce the allergic load and improve the resilience of the immune system to the attracting allergen.

 I am enjoying using this new method because it only takes a few minutes and can make a noticeable change in symptoms. If you are curious about the Allergy Unwind Experience, please ask about it the next time you come in!

Morphogenic Field Technique- The Brain Unwind Procedure

In the last issue of the Red Clover Clinic Newsletter I introduced the Morphogenic Field Technique Emotional Unwind Procedure. In this issue I would like to present the Brain Unwind Procedure. Both the Emotional Unwind Procedure and the Brain Unwind Procedure trigger the body’s ability to self-correct and heal. They give the body/mind a chance to reset. 

Both methods have the word “unwind” in common. For those of us who have either been trained in bodywork, or are frequent receivers of bodywork, the concept of unwinding is familiar on an experiential level. I imagine it is a rather foreign concept to those who haven’t experienced it. 

The concept of unwinding originated in osteopathy, and is now frequently used in reference to myofascial work such as craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. I found an interesting paper called Understanding the Process of Fascial Unwinding, by Budiman Minasny, PhD, that describes unwinding:

Therapists use touch to initiate fascial unwinding. The client responds to the touch, Misasny writes, with “spontaneous bending, rotating, and twisting of the upper or lower limbs or the whole body in either a rhythmic or a chaotic pattern. This response can be thought of as a spontaneous expression of movement. The phenomenon of unwinding, in which parts of the body move spontaneously and involuntarily, can appear mystical, and yet its therapeutic effects are known both anecdotally and clinically.”

The results of unwinding are “based on the simple principle of the body’s ability for self-correction from mechanical disturbances,” Minasny continues. “Unwinding occurs because tissues hold memories of trauma and the unwinding process allows the body to adjust to a new position of ease.” Franklyn Sills, an early pioneer of craniosacral therapy, stated that “the motions often signal the letting go of frozen stress responses and unresolved trauma.”

With the Emotional Unwind Procedure and the Brain Unwind Procedure, the concept of unwinding is related to, and expands upon, the concepts described above. Both of these procedures employ the use of bio-resonators (see last issue of  the newsletter) to induce the unwinding.

The Emotional Unwind Procedure focuses on the emotional aspect of unresolved stress and trauma being trapped in the body. The bio-resonators helps to unwind the trapped emotions from the affected organs. Typically the body doesn’t need to move to release the emotions.

The Brain Unwind Procedure focuses on both postural distortions and neurological imbalances. A kit that contains vials with the energies of 60 different parts of the brain is used to identify neurological imbalances. The bio-resonators are held on the head, to induce the unwinding procedure. The body will begin to sway and move in different directions, mimicking myofascial unwinding described above. The unwinding can last several minutes. 

Following the procedure, the postural imbalances should be improved, and the neurological imbalances resolved. The primary change I have noticed in my clients is that the nervous system becomes more stable and the person feels more grounded and is able to respond to stimuli with ease and flexibility. The Brain Unwind Procedure is especially useful to treat people who have experienced a traumatic brain injury.

If you’re craving a reset, maybe one of the Morphogenic Field Technique methods will be right for you.

A new method to release emotional baggage

Much of the treatment we do in this office is body-focused. It is the emotions, however, that cause—or at least affect—much of what people suffer from. Addressing emotional health can have a definite, positive impact on physical health. There are many ways to do this.

From an acupuncture standpoint, improving the flow of energy and addressing the organs associated with particular emotions will help the emotions to move through the body/mind/spirit and balance out. Auricular acupuncture uses points that treat specific emotions and methods to release trauma and treat PTSD. On occasion, we select flower essences to help release emotions and herbs to manage symptoms associated with emotional stress.

I was recently able to learn a method called the Emotional Unwind Procedure, which is created by the developers of Morphogenic Field Technique (MFT, see video below) as a part of the MFT approach. So far, I have found the Emotional Unwind Procedure to be very effective at shifting emotional stress and bringing up important conversations that help clarify and process the effects of negative emotions. In other words, this method helps people cope with the negative physiological effects of what has happened to them.

Before we discuss Emotional Unwind Procedure, it is important to understand MFT. The basic concept behind MFT is to build and maintain a large energy field. A large field is associated with improved overall health, vitality, longevity, and autonomic nervous system function. The larger the field, the better your vitality. Environmental factors affect the size of an energy field. A toxic environment, processed food, and being surrounded by negativity will shrink your field. Living in a healthy, natural environment; eating organic food; and being surrounded by love will increase the size of your field. As MFT’s founder, Dr. Frank Springob, says, considering our current environment and the poor health of the general population, “You can’t afford to have a small field anymore.”

MFT uses a combination of muscle response testing and vials programed with various energies to determine what is challenging the body at the moment, and what we can do to correct these challenges. Dr. Springob put together the 5-minute video below that explains the basics of how MFT works.

Typically, when I try to increase someone’s energy field, I search for toxins to detox, immune challenges to address, or foods to remove from the diet. These treatments are necessary, but it takes time to increase the size of the field. The Emotional Unwind Procedure is an effective and highly efficient way to address emotions and increase a person’s energy field. It is still important to do theother more physiological treatments, but the benefits of having a larger field can be enjoyed almost immediately.

This technique uses a combination of vials programed with the energies of emotions and bio-resonators, in the form of a brass coin, to unwind the emotions from the body. Bio-resonators are used as a storage device for subtle energies. I have a client who has named them “magic coins.” The bio-resonators are programed with corrective energies that target all of the subtle energy receptors in the body, including the nervous system, meridians, and chakras. Placing the bio-resonators onto the body helps to correct stress-induced disruptions at the cellular level and promotes healing. 

Emotional Unwind Procedure may seem like an unorthodox method, but it is important to remember that working with energy and energy fields is slowly becoming more understood. It is truly remarkable what information we can glean from the energy field, and what level of healing can be achieved by addressing those things.
