Mind Body Spirit Release™ (MBSR™)

Mind Body Spirit Release™ (MBSR™) is a technique used to tap into the subconscious to help the body bring to the surface and release emotions that may be stuck. These may be emotions that come from inside of you, emotions that have been transferred or projected upon you from someone else, or emotions that are intergenerational.

According to MBSR™ founder Tracy Southwick, this technique is:

• A system to access emotional/mental/spiritual blocks and toxins, limiting beliefs, and the detrimental imprints of stress trauma and traumatic events imprinted in the subconscious mind and on the body.
• A technique using cold laser/light on specific reflex points and meridians to open up the energetic flow in the body allowing the release of these stressors/toxins/imprints so that the body can heal more efficiently and effectively.

MBSR™ utilizes muscle testing to help determine the type(s) of emotional clearing(s) that the body is ready to process in that moment. Depending on what your system signals that it needs, the technique can assist in releasing systemic negative emotions or blocks to positive emotions, emotions that are creating stagnation in certain organs/glands or scar tissue, emotional dis-resonance in a relationship between two people, emotions that need to be cleared from certain levels of the spine, and support overall emotional and energetic vibrancy.

If we can figure out what are the main drivers of inflammation (which are often a combination of physical and mental/emotional stressors), we can help the body clear the sources of imbalance and heal itself from the inside out. As emotions clear, the autonomic nervous system responds favorably and becomes more grounded in ventral vagal tone, which then helps the body continue to work on healing the physical ailments too. When the nervous system comes from a place of peace and safety, it is better able to prioritize important functions such as drainage and detoxification. For this reason, MBSR™ is a hugely helpful component of a “root issue” approach to healing.

A few other principles:

• MBSR™ is not a stand-alone treatment. It works best when coupled with other resources for your physical and mental health. This process, through muscle testing, helps to identify subconscious imprints that contribute to physical/symptom and emotional patterns that we experience and helps to remove barriers so that the body can function more optimally.
• The cold laser light is similar to acupuncture or chiropractic care. It works by delivering light energy into cells, which reduces stress and retrains the body. Photons (light-carrying particles) are absorbed by the cells, which stimulate the mitochondria and a biochemical response that helps to accelerate healing.
• MBSR™ is not a “psychic” process. The practitioner is simply interpreting muscular physiological responses. MBSR™ respects and honors all types of faith backgrounds and spiritual beliefs.

This technique is intended to address and release stagnant energy in body, and it does not require revisiting any traumatic past events with your practitioner, nor does it ask you to discuss any back-stories behind emotions. The process typically results in feeling a sense of peace, calmness or like a weight has been lifted after the session. MBSR™ clearings are done as part of wellness visits and have no additional fee.

What is the difference between Foundational and Advanced level clearings?

Foundational MBSR clearings involve helping the body release imprints such as negative emotions, blocks to positive emotions, dis-resonance with another person, and emotions in organs/glands or the spine or scar tissue.

Advanced MBSR clearings are unique in that they address all of the above but do so around the basis of a specific intention that is created before the clearing. The intention written by the practitioner and client helps guide the process to a more fine-tuned level of release.

In addition, advanced clearings test for whether limiting beliefs, hormones, neurotransmitters, body systems, places, and events are relevant within each clearing. Advanced MBSR evaluates hundreds of emotional states and miscellaneous blocks that can help bring more precision and depth to the process. For this reason, the Advanced MBSR sessions may take longer to complete (often, a full 50-minute session, compared to Foundational clearings which usually require 20-30 minutes).

Both techniques utilize autonomic response muscle testing. Advanced level is often performed with ideomotor response (pendulum) testing. Both types of clearings utilize a laser that targets meridians and reflex points to assist in the emotional release. Amber is certified in both types of clearings.

How does this work during a telehealth call?

Muscle testing—similar to a lie detector test—evaluates the body’s natural stress response through biofeedback, where we evaluate the body’s response to a stimulus. Our muscles are connected to our nervous system which is connected to our brain, and our muscles respond to neurological input. Essentially, we are using muscle strength to tap into the body’s nervous system signaling.

We can use the concept of kinesiology biofeedback to muscle test patients who are not in the same room, and this is referred to as quantum testing or remote muscle testing – based on the principles of quantum physics. In order to understand your body’s muscle responses from afar, we are able to test someone else in the room as a “proxy” for your system.

As humans we have electrical and biochemical energy in our cells, and we emit frequencies and particles. Waves work by transmitting energy through vibration. Once we connect with each other and know each other, we can read and interact with each other’s energies. Particles that are entangled have the ability to “know” the states of one another to some degree.

Particles can affect each other instantaneously and across any distance. There are many fascinating scientific studies showing this concept. We can also think of the concept of a radio, which has an antenna that is able to amplify the signal and filter out what we don’t want, even if we are not in the same location physically.

Testing from afar is not predicting the future, nor is it using psychic abilities. Anyone can learn how to muscle test with the right training. When we muscle test from afar, we are using biofeedback from the autonomic nervous system to understand what the body would benefit from for healing in this very moment. This process of biofeedback helps rectify imbalances in the body and support the body’s innate abilities to heal itself.

When emotions are cleared from the body with MBSR™ , it’s not to say that you will never experience that same emotion again in life. The process is less of “removing” emotions and more of an empowerment to help your system release or move through detrimental subconscious emotional imprints that have occurred from past experiences and to help the body/mind/spirit to respond differently.
