TSUBO & T.A.R.P.
What Can Tsubo And Tsubo Advanced Do For Me?

    Nothing in nature is chaotic, even though it may seem that way at times.  Consider the organization of
    the  D.N.A. molecule, or the make up of the various structures that make up every cell in your body.  
    Nothing in nature is just “thrown together”.  There is a “Divine Design” to everything.  Life is
    meticulously ordered.

    However, there are times that this order is disturbed due to external toxins, internal toxins, and simply
    every day stress.  When one is asked, if tiny drops of water can cut through rock, most will say, “No, of
    course not”.  But think about this…when I was very young I visited Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.  
    I saw huge rock formations with holes and troughs cut into them.  I asked who has been drilling and
    sawing on these rocks?  And of course, I was told that years of tiny water droplets had fallen on top of
    the same exact place…over and over…and had literally punched holes through solid rock.

    Stress does that to us….to our organs…our cells….our lives.  What is known as an energy imbalance
    occurs in the body.  This energy flows to all of our organs in an orderly fashion.  This energy flows in
    channels, just as blood flows in arteries and veins.  If too much or not enough energy goes to one or
    more organs, our health will suffer.  If this situation is not corrected, the final result will be disease.  
    There are hundreds of names for all these diseases, but they are all “caused” by the same thing…too
    much or not enough energy going to one or more organs. (click the ACUPUNCTURE button for more
    info)

    Luckily, there are ways these imbalances can be corrected.  We all have little Tsubo points, or  
    “buttons” if you will, built right into the body.  They are like little switching stations, which, when pressed
    (just like a button) at the right time, in the right way, and in the right sequence….balance is restored.  
    This balance will last longer each time an individual receives a session.  The first initial balancing
    usually lasts about a week on average.  There also some specific stretching techniques that further
    enhance energy flow.

    There are buttons that create a general, overall balancing effect.  The patient will experience more
    energy if their energy was originally low, or, they will experience a relaxation effect if their energy was
    too scattered and stressed.  Individuals who are chronically ill may not feel any difference until the
    second or third treatment.  There are also specific buttons that can be used for specific conditions that
    involve liver issues, digestive issues, headaches, constipation, joint problems, circulation issues, etc.

    The art and science of Tsubo involves pressing on certain points on the body in a certain way that re-
    balances the energy pathways to all the organs.  Most find a session very enjoyable…..energizing, yet
    relaxing at the same time.  Stress melts away during a session.  Tsubo can be used for various
    ailments…however, many people who have no specific aches or pains to speak of enjoy regular Tsubo
    tune-ups.  When stress is eliminated, even for a little while…circulation is improved to the brain.  We
    think better…work better…and enjoy life more.  

Is Tsubo Painful?

    Both Tsubo and Tsubo Advanced sessions feel fantastic.  You will feel energized, yet relaxed at the
    same time.  At no time is Tsubo uncomfortable.  It's possible each session will be a little different.  
    Also, the way you feel during and BETWEEN can vary greatly.   Everyone is different.  We have different
    personalities, different health challenges, different body builds, diets, skills, etc.  However, we ALL
    "spiral down" in the same way.  That is, in order to have stress, pain, disease, poor health, challenging
    relationships, money issues, career ruts, problems at home, at work, with our kids, spouse, or
    significant other, one or more of these three things have had to occur:

    1.  Some where in the body there is too much energy and some where there is a deficiency of energy
                  
    2.  Energy has become stuck or blocked.
             
    3.  The overall energy of the body has become too low.


Cause of Most Disease in the U.S.

    Experts estimate that as much as 78% of all diseases are caused directly by stress, including many
    cancers.  TSUBO can address many health issues, both physical AND emotional by simply removing
    stress in the body.

    TSUBO can help resolve: Anxiety, Constipation, Headaches, Hypoglycemia, Joint Issues, Various
    aches/pains, Fatigue, Insomnia, P.M.S., Digestive Troubles, Neck Issues, Blood Pressure, Bloating,
    Low Back Pain, Circulation, and Hormone Issues.

    When stress is eliminated or substantially reduced, even for a little while.....circulation is improved to
    the brain.  We THINK better......WORK better......and ENJOY life more.  The art and science of TSUBO
    involves pressing on certain points on the body in a certain way and in a certain sequence that allows
    stress to simply melt away.  

Stress and Obesity

    The Number one cause of weight gain has very little to do with food, that is, if we stick to the CAUSE of
    weight gain.  The number one cause is chronic stress.  When you have chronic stress, your body steps
    up its production of cortisol and insulin.  Your appetite increases.  Your “body thermostats” in the brain
    also tell the body to hold onto fat.  Whatever you eat, the body stays in assimilation mode.  You begin to
    crave sweets and fatty foods. This then makes you store even MORE fat, pumping more of it as well as
    inflammatory chemicals into your liver.  This creates a resistance to insulin, which makes your
    pancreas secrete more insulin to compensate.  And THAT makes you hungrier, all because of stress.  
    Home issues, traffic, work/career issues,  money worries, it doesn’t matter…..it’s STRESS!  When you
    try to combat stress with food, you activate the reward center of your brain.  But after the initial feel-good
    system wears off, you’ll reach again for the same thing that made you feel good, calm and relaxed in
    the first place: more food.  Stress creates neuro-chemical changes in the body to cause weight gain
    and it does not mean you are a bad person or that you have no will power.

What is T.A.R.P.                                                                                     


    T.A.R.P. stands for Tsubo Advanced Research Project.  This is a very special and unique holistic
    energy-healing approach.  All of the "components" of Tsubo Advanced are thousands of years old and
    each are very powerful in and of themselves.  However, in the same way many of us would enjoy
    listening to a symphony orchestra much more than sitting and listen to just an oboe or bassoon player
    for an hour, Tsubo Advanced brings together a synergistic blend of ancient healing modalities that
    bring to mind the well known saying...the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.  I feel that an
    orchestra absolutely needs oboes and bassoons, no question about it, but the true power and majesty
    of a full piece orchestra surfaces when all individual parts (instruments)  are working in harmony and
    divine synchronicity.  

    How Can You Participate In T.A.R.P.?

    It's very easy to do.  Simply let me know that you're interested and promise that you'll make a note of
    any changes you experience with your Tsubo Advanced sessions and then let me publish the findings.  
    This is in two parts.  Part one is a list of various changes or shifts you noticed after the 6 sessions.  
    These would include:

    1.  Changes in health  
    2.  Changes in your relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and /or relatives
    3.  Changes in your present employment (or feelings towards your present employment
    4.  Changes in your outlook towards the world in general
    5.  Changes in your emotions
    6.  Changes in your ability to think, reason, and make self-supporting decisions
    7.  Changes in your "feeling" of connectedness...of being truly unique, yet a part of all that is at the
    same time
    8.  Changes in your level of abundance....including increased money flow to you

    What Specifically Is A Tsubo Advanced Session?

    A Tsubo Advanced session is made up of two parts:

    Part number 1 is a hands-on technique that stimulates and balances special points in the body called
    tsubos, which, control energy flow to and from organs, thereby restoring harmony, balance, health, and
    homeostasis back to the person's body....the person's emotions....the persons life.  Tsubo also
    includes
    special stretches which harmonizes the energy channels or meridians in the body.  Tsubo is a type of
    Shiatsu.

    Part number 2 adds in to the regular Tsubo session some other ancient and time-tested (but also very
    new and high-tech) modalities that work on the physical, emotional, mental, and yes, even the soul
    level.

  The Tsubo Advanced Protocol   

    The T.A.R.P. member comes to the session in comfortable, loose fitting clothes.  Tsubo Advanced is
    administered through the clothing.  Each session will last approximately one hour. (occasionally a little
    longer)  On your first visit you will fill out a very brief and confidential research form that will ask you
    about any significant illnesses in the past, as well as any present complaints (aches, pains, sore
    muscles or joints, etc.)  These ailments/maladies/diseases will not be addressed directly in the Tsubo
    Advanced session, though, may resolve themselves entirely while receiving Tsubo Advanced
    sessions.  Tsubo Advanced will not interfere with any other treatments or therapies you may be
    receiving from other health practitioners or physicians.  If you are under the care of someone, it's
    ALWAYS a good idea to inform them about any life-style changes you choose to undertake while under
    their care.  This would, of course, include Tsubo Advanced sessions.  

    Tsubo Advanced PROFOUNDLY addresses and corrects energy imbalance in and around the body.   

    >Energy imbalance can cause emotional issues, but Tsubo doesn't directly treat emotional imbalance

    >Energy imbalance can cause physical disease, but Tsubo doesn't directly treat physical disease

    Occasionally you may be given handouts with suggestions to follow in between sessions of an
    exercise or dietary nature.  You will also be given a very brief physical assessment which will tell me
    how to tailor your session just for your body. It will show me where you are energetically at that given
    moment.  Remember, healing takes place in the moment.  You will start out lying on your stomach, and
    will finish up on your back.  There is no pain or discomfort associated with a Tsubo Advanced session.  
    You will lie on a special mat designed specifically for this type of work.

    Bach Flower Essence                                                                        

    A Bach Flower Essence may be administered orally, which will begin to remove stress and create an
    internal environment conducive to healing.  Healing can only take place in an environment of safety.

    Lymph System

    Healing takes place easier when lymph channels are open.  A special topical agent is placed over key
    lymph points.  The substance is homeopathic in nature and has no side-effects of any kind.

   Color Healing Benefits

    Beneath the traditional Tsubo mat will be another mat that contains 14 color generators that create an
    upward vortex that passes through all the major energy centers including the hands and feet.  These
    will work through out the entire Tsubo Advanced session.

   Essential Oil Balancing

    Based on your previous assessment, an essential oil blend will be selected that specifically resonates
    with the particular energy-center imbalance that may be presenting. (click on the CHAKRAS button for
    more information)  This specially selected oil may be placed on the palms, and/or the soles of the feet,
    and/or placed into a device called an Aroma Fan.

  Sound Wave Balancing

    Based on your previous assessment, earphones will be placed on your head (half way through your
    Tsubo Advanced session) which will play a special tone that will balance a major meridian or energy-
    pathway in the body.  There are 24 possible patterns.  Only one pattern is needed per visit.  

  Laser Therapy

    On occasion, a device called a laser wand may be used to further enhance the balancing effect of the
    sound wave balancing.  Basically, sound waves are passed through a type of quartz crystal known as a
    quartz wand while, simultaneously, the crystalline structure is further excited using a small laser. The
    output is also further buffered (tuned) with breath and intention.                                                                       

   Miscellaneous

    On very rare occasions some other modalities may be selected if warranted by the member's particular
    situation.  These modalities may include one or more of the following: acupuncture, spinal integration,
    Gua Sha, application of various homeopathic ointments, Intense Pulsed Light Lymph Drainage,
    Trigger Point Therapy (traditional and injection), and cupping
