Neuro Emotional Technique
NET was originally developed as a way of finding and correcting an emotional/stress component that was related to a physical problem, very early on patients started reporting that the ‘dramas’ of their lives were improving too. Patients found they were feeling significantly less stressed, happier, more at ease, and so on. NET specifically works with the ‘physiology’ of emotional/stress responses. Extensive scientific research over the past several decades has verified that an emotional/stress expression is a complex reactive pattern of changes in response to a stimulus. The goal is to identify and correct physical aberrations (subluxation or meridian imbalance) and not the emotions. NET does not treat ‘emotions’, NET is not counseling NET is a true mind/body or body/mind approach, it fully acknowledges the physical complement of the resistance of the body to NEC formation (in a healthy organism) and the process of NEC resolution. NET is focused on achieving homeostasis of the human organism. Its method of correction is through the spine or acupuncture point(s).
The 'Home Run Formula'
To address the many possible factors that can influence health, we use a Home Run Formula model as a way of generally categorizing areas that may need to be addressed.
1st base - Emotional/stress
2nd base - Toxic influences
3rd base - Nutritional needs
4th base - Physical/structure
We know any problem can include multiple factors from any of the other bases, and it is important to address all factors related to one's health to reach our optimum health potential.
'Body-oriented' practitioners may often start with a 4th base (Physical/structure) approach and then check 1st base (Emotional/stress) when a stress-related component is suspected to be a factor. Of course, 2nd base (Toxic factors) can influence how we think and feel, and 3rd base (Nutrition) is clearly an essential piece for balanced mind and body health. For example, it is well known that there is a link between physiological and behavioral interactions related to stress, food intake and emotional state.
