QUARTERLY MAGAZINE International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine Matrix Healing, Mind and Medicine: An Integrated Model for Understanding & Healing Fear & Trauma Margaret Tucker According to mythology, a very long time ago all spiritual traditions were united. It is time to reunite all the ancient and modern science so that we are able to move into the owenty-fitst century with new understanding of the human and of the transformational healing process. All of us together have the means to create this new system, when we combine our talents, knowledge, and expertise. We proceed with profound respect forall traditions: We build a new integrated model on the firm foundations of past wisdom. During the past twenty years, neurophysiological studies have documented altered states of consciousness and have provided information concerning neurophysiological development. By using this knowledge together with traditional spiritual and energetic healing practices we gain insight and understanding. Understanding the neurophysiology of the human being is understanding, in medical terms, the way energetic healing works. Examining the development of the human fiom infancy leads us to conclusions concerning positive adaptive child-rearing practices to replace misguided socializations and belief systems, This new understanding leads us to integrated ways to facilitate the evolution of the hhuman and the transformation of. the planet. All babies are Buddhas, potentially enlightened loving beings. Socialization and adverse life experiences inhibic this possibilicy. Ultimately, our understanding of neurophysiology ‘must increase our respect for the ancient healing ways. Clearly in ancient texts, neurophysiological and scie systems are described which have only recently been described by scientists We are energetic beings in an energetic environment separated only by our sensory perception. We ate transducers of energy. ‘The energies of the matrices are present with us. Our emotional energy is produced through a series of inter- actions between our internal states and external stimuli from the environment which are sensed. All emotions are ‘expressed in the movement of the physical body and the emotional energy vibrating throughout the being. The emotional energy is broadcast and received by others, as itis broadcast throughout the energetic matrix. The more we feel any emotion, the more our bodies want co move to release it. Our primary emotions are our survival indicators to help us to interact with our external environment. The primary emotions are implicit within our systems and essen- tially hard-wired into our beings and are present shortly after the foetus has been conceived. Children are sensing and dreaming in the womb." For a long time it was widely believed that the ability to think logically separated us from animals and that emotions were “primitive.” Some still believe that intellect should control the being and that emotions should not be shown, A vast body of neurophysiological research provides evidence that contradicts these beliefs. In fact, to maintain emotional and physical health and to achieve intellectual advancement, appropriate expres- sion of emotions is necessary. ‘The entice human system works together. The brain relies upon energetic messages from the body in order to process its own messages. Emotions are experienced viscerally and throughout the entire human, Neurotransmitters and neuropeptides found in the organs, spinal fluid, the brain, and in cells fluctuate in complex ever-changing balance to regulate energy, emotion, and health.'3* Not surprisingly, the greatest densities of neurotransmitter production and reception is near the chakras.” So, the entire human is a vehicle of energy production, reception, and transduction.

Thus began what will be a lifetime fasci- nation with and study of the development and functions of an area of the right brain called the right, orbitofrontal cortex. Ie has become clear t hat damage to this part of the rain disconnects us from our loving attachments to other human beings, and interferes with our ability to feel empathy, compassion and caring. Not only that, people who have been spiritually connected to the Divine energy can't feel that transcendent connection anymore either. Beginning in 1985 when I began working with brain injured patients, I began hearing from some about this profoundly tragic loss. It was not until I met Schore and became absorbed by his work, chat I understood the crucial role of this area in mediating the experience of the fecling of connec- tion, both ordinary and transcendent. In 1996, I introduced Allan Schore to Bob Scaer, 2 neurologist with whom I have had discussions about neurobiology since we first met in the 1970s. He, too, was fascinated by Schore’s work. The paper for this issue which he co-authored, “How Are Our Heartfelt Feelings Generated?” resulted from one of out prolonged discussions about the neurobiology of the experience of feelings in the human being. Shortly after our first intense discussion on the subject of how the heart and brain as well as other organ systems, influence the experience of feelings, I ralked ac length with Margaret Tucker at an ISSSEEM Program Committee Meeting and she told me she was writing a book integrating eastern and western concepts of love and connectedness and how to treat patients who suffered from early childhood trauma and thus were deficient in their emotional and spiritual lives. 1 asked her to share concepts from her book with Bridges’ readers and thus her paper, “Matrix Healing, Mind and Medicine” came into my hands. Acan inspiring recent summit conference on Attachment and Bonding, Wendy McCarty, Ph.D., gave a very moving presentation regarding pre- and perinatal experiences. She graciously agreed to allow us to publish ‘material related to her tlk which was contained in the conference handbook. Her article “Keys to Healing and Preventing Foundational Trauma” reminds us how very early in our existence trauma can begin, and also how, if not prevented, it can be treated in the very young, Meanwhile Maurie Pressman had submitted a review of a book by the brilliant thinker and social critic, Joseph Chilton Pearce. Although his views about The Neurobiology of Transcendence ate different from mine and Bob Scaers, his eloquent pleas concerning what needs to happen to produce more loving human beings deserve a wide audience. Elmer's Brass Tacks continues an inquiry into the nature of coincidence control and synchronicity control. ‘The theme of the Spring Issue is “The Future of Medicine.” In the issue Elliott Dacher, M.D. will shate some ideas from his forchcoming book about the medicine of the future. Mark Earnst, M.D. has compelling evidence that the curtent system is not working and some interesting ideas about how it might be fixed. Cat fp Solewadte Carol J.

Robert C. Scaer, M.D. & Carol J. Schneider, Ph.D. In a summary article entitled “Psychophysiological Correlates of Spiritual Experience,” Childre and McCraty present the heart as a key point of entry into the psychophysiological networks that comprise the emotional system.! They argue that the heart’s role in the generation of perceptual and emotional experience is more than metaphorical. Admittedly, sensory input from the heart through the afferent fibers from the vagus nerve to the nucleus solitarius play an important role in retention of memory through connections of the nucleus solitatius to the amygdala. ‘These connections, however, are both sympathetic and parasympathetic.? In addition, vagal sensory input affecting emotionally- based memory also originate in the thoracic and abdominal viscera, and should play an equally critical role in the generation of the emotional experience. a The body and the brain are one organ in this model, and the heart may play a special role, but many other organ systems likely also contribute to this process in exactly the same manner, Cleatly, the continuous interplay between emotion and the organ systems innervated by the vagus nerve ereate an interactive environment that changes both the regions of the brain involved, and the visceral organs that provide sensory input, including, but not restricted to the heart The body and the brain are one organ in this model, and the heart may play a special role, but many other organ systems likely also contribute to this process in exactly the same manner. Emotional sensations, often experienced in the epigastrium as constrictive or expansive sensations, probably arise from a variety of organs, including abdominal viscera as well asthe heart. Fear creates a sensation of tightness in the gut and anal sphincter, but few would argue that the anal sphincter is the source of the emotion of fear. Yet Childre and McCraty argue that the heart is the source of feelings of love, care and compassion. There is no doubt that the experience of the feelings of love, empathy, care and compassion can be localized as “heartfelt,.” However, the neurologist Antonio Damasio, in his books The Feeling of What Happens and Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow and the Feeling Brain, presents cases where the ability co have empathy, care and compassion for others is profoundly impaired by damage to the right orbitofrontal cortex.45 In fact, if this area were damaged in infancy, when these infants reached adult- hhood they displayed no empathy and no conscience. Allan Schore's book Affct Regulation and the Origin of the Self describes the development of the self through. cexperience-dependent maturation of the right orbitofrontal cortex in the context of interaction with primary caretakers of the infant. Susan Green in an article entitled “Stroke Takes Rabbi's Ability to Give" describes an unusually empathic, eating and compas- sionate woman Rabbi who had a right prefrontal brain stroke in 2002. One year later she resigned from her congregation because she hhad had no recovery of her vaunted ability to feel care, compassion and empathy toward the members of her congregation. ‘She knew she should feel sorrow at their funerals and joy at theit ‘weddings, but she could nor feel anything, People whose lives, whose experiences had been so ‘entwined with hers from 1997 on now were disconnected from her. She “who had made a living ‘connecting very personally with her 160 congregants, noticed she could no longer read their faces nor care about them like she once did, Something inside her had gone numb, The rabbi had lost her empathy.” The Rabbi said, “My ability to feel connected, to find empathy for others and to find God in front of me—all this seems missing.” Under the section of her article called “Whae caused her heart to shut down?” Green 7 Scaer & Schneider quotes several doctors who talked about the stroke cutting the brain pathways that regulate emotional tone, and the fact that the media- tion of the right orbitofrontal area is necessary for the experience of ‘empathy. It seems clear then, that “What caused her heart to shut down” was the damage to her brain, since there was absolutely no damage to her heart itself ‘This brings us to a commentary about Joseph Chilton Pearce’s book on The Biology of Transcendance, as reviewed by Maurie David Pressman in this issue of Bridges. Pearce has been greatly influenced by Childre, McCrary and others at the HeartMath Institute, whose work we discussed in the first part of this article We are in total agreement with Dr. Pearce's analysis of how our current culture subverts the healthy development of our infants and children. ‘This is parcly because of our current value systems, but i is also due to our lack of understanding regarding the important role maternal nurturing plays in the develop- ment of the emotional brain. A well developed emotional brain potentiates autonomic regulation by the right orbital frontal cortex. Poor development of this area results in poor attachment and bonding, problems with empachy and compassion and sets us up to have one or more serious physical illnesses once we are exposed to the many traumatic experiences we encounter in our passage chrough life.89 Pearce, however, emphasizes the role of the heart as the source of empathy and compassion. In his attempr to provide a neurophysio- logic basis for his cheory, Dr. Pearce goes astray in his concepts of the heart-brain connection as being 2 “5 brain,” operating both on a physical and neurologic basis, He connects the heart to the brain from the theoretical basis that the heart contains the same neurolog- ical tissue as does che brain itself, and that the communication between the heart and the midbrain act as a shunt, delivering messages to the most advanced brain or the prefrontal cortex. —S “What caused her heart to shut down” was the damage to her brain, since there was absolutely no damage to ber heart itself, A problem exists with Dr. Pearce’s apparent presentation of the reptilian brain as being selfish and prone to cruelty, fear and anger as part of the survival instinct, Our instinctual reptilian brain in fact is still deeply necessary for survival purposes and cleaty is free of judgment based on concepts of ‘good or evil, Pearce’ view is certainly not in keeping with vagal functions of the brain stem or “reptilian brain,” which from Steven Forges’ view may be essen- tial for the evolution of bonding and even what we interpret as love. Studies of the afferent vagal pathways from the viscera to the ‘nucleus solitarius suggest intimate connections between that nucleus and the amygdala as well as the hippocampus, suggesting that visceral afferent stimuli may play an important role in consolidating arousal-based memories. (‘gut feclings?”) Such input is also provided from the heart through afferent pathways to the nucleus solitarius. Indeed, in this mannes, the heart should provide input to arousal-based centers of the brain, which will then, through routine pathways activate orbitoftontal cortex activity whose primary purpose is to regulate the auto- nomic response to any of these messages that are threat based. In this process, because afferent peripheral messages to various parts of the brain will change those parts of the brain by initi- ating learning processes, the heart indeed does change brain percep- tion through messages from the heart. This is not to say however that the heart, in fact, is part of the central nervous system per se since all peripheral muscle and organ sensory apparatuses that also provide sensory input to the brain serve the same function as the heart in altering the brain’ habits, perceptions and the behavioral responses to such messages in the future, By ascribing the role of the heart as one that is intrinsically part of brain mechanisms, one provides 2 metaphorical example rather than 2 scientific conclusion Pearce implies that nurturing of the prefiontal cortex comes from nurturing of the heart, requiring physical closeness to the mother's heart from birth on. Scientific studies of brain regions related 0 nurturing and social bonding as well as maternal bonding, however, suggest chat this nurturing of the prefrontal cortex probably takes place within the anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the limbic system. ‘The anterior cingulate area is Continued on page 7 ‘Waster, 2002 ISSSEEM Macazine + Vouume 13 owner 4+ 5 Stress, anxiety, and fear in the child induce overproduction of neurochemicals which cause. disconnection from the body, senses, emotions. This even causes cell death in the developing brain, so that emotional growth, incellee- tual capability, and future creative synthesis are prevented in the indi- vidual’ life. There is evidence that negative social interaction during formative years resus in alteration in opiate, corticosteriod, corticotrophin releasing factor dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin receptors.°4 This means that children who experience anxiety, fear, pain, neglect, or inadequate positive emotion from caregivers will develop fear-based interaction with the world, expec- tation of future fear, and lessened ity to experience happiness, joy, love, and relaxation. Early life stress is not limited to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse of cata- strophe, For an infant or a small child, even hearing loud, fright- ening noises or categivers fighting would cause anxiety or fear? In addition to destroying brain cells, stress prevents the formation of nerve connections in the asso- ciative areas of the brain, the areas which take new stimuli and synthesize new realities, create new possibilities, and develop consciousness. In the pre-frontal cortex, the highest level of assimi- lating and synthesizing informa- sion occurs. This area of the brain develops after birth, matures very slowly, and is stongly influenced by environment and social learning. Ideally, the pre-frontal cortex should project us to new heights of enlightenment by using resources to envision new worlds, new futures, and new dimensions. However, the pre-frontal cortex has strong inhibitory influence. ‘When the individual has been over stressed, traumatized, oF repressed during earlier experience the pre- frontal cortex imagines a future full of historical pains and trauma. ‘Wasrer, 2002 Vowse 13 Nummer 4 ISSSEEM Macazine Bainces ‘Ware, 2002 © Volume 13. Nuwer 4 + ISSSEEM Macxzine Buposs Tucker SS By projecting the past into the future, the pre-frontal cortex prevents creativity, exploration, novel experiences, and growth, ‘The pre-frontal cortex does not function in linear, logical verbal mode of organization, but in complex associations cued strongly from the imaginal emotional right hemisphere and its connections to the body. 135.11 ‘When a child's emotions are severely repressed, inhibited, or dissociated as a resule of trauma or ‘misguided socialization, then the child cannot experience emotional growth through experience. ‘The child has learned to respond feat- fully to the environment and to other people.>4 The body may be shut down and insensitive to the environment or incapable of feeling as result of chemical ancs- thesia produced from anxiety and the fear state. The child must learn to rely upon primitive defenses such as withdrawal, disso- ciation, or anger. With prolonged exposure to fear and anxiety, che child most probably will avoid novel situations. That adult, confronted by blissful love, may avoid the pleasurable experience because ic is felt as strange, novel, and uncomfortable. Another possibility is that because the child has dissociated fiom emotion, he or she will demonstrate periods of dangerously impulsive behavior or selfdestruction, How does this shut down occur? Sometimes a small child cannot unless he or she learns to disso- ciate from the body and emotions Sometimes the child is taught by family to repress or to inbibie all ‘motion except some socially acceptable “goodness.” Sometimes the child has not received the posi- tive emotional mirroring and attachment necessary for the ‘emotional connections to be made, When this occurs the individual often fails to develop internal structure with which to gauge his or her interactions, volition and desire. When this occurs, the individual often learns hateed, prejudice, and anger from care- givers All primary emotions are necessary for survival. The fear mechanism shuts down the ability to feel relaxation, plea- sure, and love. Ik interferes with the individual's sensitivity co ener- etic information even at the cellular level. When we shut down the emotions we become numb and insensitive to much of the external environment, When we shut down emotions, we cannot fel compassion or empathy for others. If you disarm a child of fea, then the person will not know to flee from danger. If you disarm a child of anger, then the child will lack the will to defend against attack and abuse. Without the experience of emotion, the indi vidual cannot develop compassion, which means “with emotion, with passion.” Duc to widespread adversity on the planer, millions of people have been exposed to overwhelming catastrophe and have been trauma- tized. Add to that millions of people whose parents were anxious depressed, repressed, and who received emotional mirroring from them. Societies of this planet, socialization, values, belief systems, and even ideologies now reflect the ctippling fear-based neurophysi- ology. Most humans have forgotten who they are because they have been prevented from experiencing loving connection with themselves, with others and with the Divine universal energy. Certain socialization and learning by inhibition are necessary. We ‘must learn rules, language, time and space. We must be grounded in material reality and must develop a sense of self as separate from others in order to function. So, Inhibition is necessary to the growth process. However, the inhi- bition process is spiritually, physi- aally, mentally, and emotionally dangerous, When the neuronal subsystems are blocked and the gateways are closed, this can result in disease, alienation, prejudice, loss of individuality, and most dlistressul, severance of the connection to the spirit and co divine universal energy. In this regard, the work of healing is to establish energy balance, connection to resonant love vibra- tion, and integration of the subsys- tems so that the whole human is open, flowing, and loving, a flex- ible energetic being wich healthy go. The work of transformation is the process of permanent change im the energetic resonance and attunement through meditation, discipline, education and self- awareness. As the individual learns to relax, o quiet the mind, to slow the brainwaves, he or she experiences new sensitivity to the environment and new ability to sense energy. As the individual Tucker resolves internal conflict, fear, and anger, he or she begins to experi- cence happiness, and euphoric love ‘Transformation is not tr sient. Ic is permanent and attai able. As this occurs within the individual, che energy vibrating in loving emotion is communicated to others, and so the daily act of living becomes a healing experi- This happens at the physical level as the neurophysiology adjusts. For example, the pre-fiontal cortex continues to augment itself and co form new connections throughout life."53- New connections, new learned capabilities and new reali- ties may be forged through the therapeutic process. The process of reforming associations and opening the gateways cannot be accom plished using only verbal methods, because the vast perceptual consciousness, the emotions, and the entire human system must be accessed. This transformation happens when energetic balance ‘occurs with love. ‘The therapeutic process must include the energetic ‘communication of love, because this isthe wlkimate reparative expe- rience for that which was lost. ‘These healing methods have been used for thousands of yeats and are described in ancient texts and tradi- tions. Using these healing methods wwe can reform the connection to the universal energy. For purpose of teaching and treat- ment [ have delineated seven ‘major neurophysiological gateways which regulate the flow of energy information experienced through the physical form. ‘The first gateway is the frontoparietal gateway. When this gate is closed, information crucial co the expres- sion of emotion or memory is stopped before itis assimilated into cognitive consciousness. This gateway is closed by excessive verbal thought. Body conscious- ness, sensitivity and sensed life experience arc affected or decreased.*!3 Excessive thought is a defense against emotion, memory or body sensation. Energy healing, relaxation tech- niques, and verbal therapy release stress and open this gateway. However, because this closed gateway is a defense against memory of body, the individual ofien feels increased anxiety as . +. transformation happens when energetic balance occurs with love. relaxation occurs. In my expeti- ‘ence this often signifies an under- lying emotional pain or internal struggle. “Other-than-verbal” methods are needed. The second gateway is the corpus callosum, the myelin strip which connects the right hemisphere to left hemisphere. ‘The right hemi- sphere has many more connections «0 the emotional subsystems and the body and so is responsible for processing most emotional infor- mation. ‘The left hemisphere processes consonant sounds. The left and right hemispheres together process vowel sounds. ‘When the right hemisphere is disconnected or inhibited, the tendency towards historically based rigid judgement and lack of creativity occur. Furthermore, this inhibits the development of higher associative processing. ‘This split results in emotional illnesses that ate difficult or impossible to treat using verbal psychotherapy, including character pathologies, cating disorders, severe post trau- ‘atic illness, and some psychoses. “The gateway between the hemi- spheres can be opened and the split healed when focal experiences and stimulation of art, dance, music and energetic healing are used together to reform associations across the gateway" This is possible because the adult can use language to describe the process after the process is experienced. The third gateway is the subcor- tical bridge, the diencephalon. Energy moves quickly across both hemispheres from the brain stem through the diencephalon. Energetic information passed is imaginal, abstract, and fractaly organized. The diencephalon cannot carry symbolic, verbal, or linear messages.! All information from the body can be blocked here by over stimulation of the cortex or by over stimulation from the brainstem. Whether the world is terrifying or blissful is determined at this gateway. In cases of chronic stress, the diencephalon together with the frontal lobes aay trigger self perpetuating fear 3509 ‘The diencephalon connected to the right hemisphere regulates not only fear and anger, but also pleasure, happiness, and love. There is not a split of “negative” emotions from “positive” emotions. Austin said that the rhythm of the hypothal- mus may set rhythms for the entire body.>.

This facilitates cessation of fear and sense of euphoria. The energetic reparative experience begins the process of reforming associations.!° ‘The problem is that the experience may root last unless the healing process includes education, lifestyle change, and adjustment in belief system. Whole brain dominance occurs when both hemispheres work together to process simultaneously perceptual, abstract, and verbal information. When there is whole brain dominance, great amounts of information can be processed quickly and can be used by the prefrontal cortex to synthesize new ideas and new realities. This is considered to be the highest possible processing and has been called “creative IQ”! Because of the predominant fractal organiza- tion of perceptual information, ‘most processing occurs in a state of waking consciousness that is not “normal” attentive conscious- ness governed by Beta brainwave frequency. Binstein, Edison, and Nietsche among others declared that their state of conscious thinking happened in a dream state consciousness of diffuse attention To facilitate the development of whole brain dominance and
