The Science

After providing over a thousand sessions since 2013, I have noticed that my work at Expanded States on The Portacle, Sensorium, and VibraSound encompasses no fewer than five sciences: Chemistry, Biology, Epigenetics, Neuroscience, and Quantum Physics.

I have personally witnessed at least two, three, or more of the following results in almost all my clients:

a) personal development

b) deep relaxation

c) taming obsessive thoughts

d) shifting into a happier frame of mind

e) deliberate shift into positive thinking

f) pursuing better habits

g) deep states of meditation

h) physical symptoms of stress released

i) insomnia abated

j) a joyous state of being

k) a deep sense of inner well-being

l) night terrors tamed

m) depression “lifted”

What creates our emotions and how do they affect our physical body? What determines whether we have a positive emotion or a negative emotion?

For me, I have noticed that my emotions are created by my thoughts. I learned to notice that via ancient Tibetan and Ayurvedic wisdom traditions: They state that our thoughts create our emotions. When I have a positive thought, I have a positive emotion. That “feeling” sends instructions to my brain via a bioelectrical signal through the vagus nerve instructing my brain and gut, my personal pharmacologist, to release very particular chemicals into my bloodstream, creating a particular culture of blood. The chemicals in these cells carry the culture of blood throughout my body, including all my organs. I feel healthy. I feel good. I am flooded with three of the Big Six Neurotransmitters: dopamine, GABA, and serotonin.

CHEMISTRY

From Bruce Lipton, PhD:

“The perception of love introduces such elements as dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin, and growth hormone, all of which are chemicals that enhance the vitality and health of the 50 trillion cells in our skin-covered culture dish. In a state of love, the chemicals released result in health and harmony and a glowing body. People say, ‘Oh, look, you can see how in love they are. See how they glow.’ That is a chemical expression of the culture medium, affecting the vitality of the cells.

“Then I say, ‘Wait. The same person could open their eyes and instead of seeing love, see something that scares them.’ In a state of fear, the brain does not release the chemicals associated with love. It releases chemicals associated with fear, which are stress hormones and inflammatory agents, changing the chemistry of the culture medium. Then, go back and recognize that the fate of the cell is directly dependent on the chemistry of the culture medium[emphasis mine]. [These chemicals include acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and glutamate.]

“Now with stress hormones and inflammatory agents released in the blood, I change the genetics and behavior of the cells and start to express a protection posture, which is antagonistic to growth. In fact, it actually cancels growth. The protection chemicals in the blood allocate energy for fight or flight, getting ready to run from a perceived fear.

“…A negative belief is equally powerful in shaping our biology and our genetics. It works in the opposite direction of a positive belief. A negative belief can result in any illness and even cause us to die. Just a belief. It can because that belief is translated in chemistry that will not support our vitality.

“…The chemistry that determines our biology, genetics, behavior, and life characteristics is chemistry derived from the brain which, in turn, is derived from the brain interpreting an image in our mind. As we change our mind, we change our biology.

“…The power is not in the genetics; the power is in consciousness. Our consciousness is translated into biology via the chemistry of the natural culture medium called blood.

“…It doesn’t make a difference to the fate of the cell if it is in a plastic dish or the skin-covered dish. Because the fate of the cell is controlled by the conditions of the environment. The blood composition is really the factor that controls the genetic response of the cell. So then, what controls the composition of the culture medium? The blood. So, the brain is the chemist.”

From Joe Dispenza, neuroscientist: “It is a scientific fact that the hormones of stress push the genetic buttons that create disease. You can turn on the stress response by thought alone and the hormones of stress can make you sick. Your thoughts can literally make you sick.”

BIOLOGY

This paragraph is repeated as it connects chemistry to biology:

Psychophysiological Enhancement

“Focus on the intentional generation of a heartfelt positive emotional state. This emotional shift is a key element of the techniques’ effectiveness. Positive emotions appear to excite the system at its natural resonant frequency and thus enable coherence to emerge and to be maintained naturally, without conscious mental focus on one’s breathing rhythm.

“This is because input generated by the heart’s rhythmic activity is actually one of the main factors that affect our breathing rate and patterns. When the heart’s rhythm shifts into coherence as a result of a positive emotional shift, our breathing rhythm automatically synchronizes with the heart, thereby reinforcing and stabilizing the shift to system-wide coherence.

“Positive emotional focus confers a much wider array of benefits than those typically achieved through breathing alone. These include deeper perceptual and emotional changes, increased access to intuition and creativity, cognitive and performance improvements, and favorable changes in hormonal balance.” ~Anonymous

Clinical research from around the world has shown a myriad of positive effects from Sound and Music coupled with VibroAcoustics.

National Institute of Health

Ongoing since 1995, the National Institutes of Health runs the most extensive program in the U.S. for vibroacoustic pain and symptom reduction, treating over 50,000 patients per year. In one study, Dr. George Patrick measured the physiological and behavioral effectiveness of these interventions with 272 patients and found over 50% experienced a reduction of both pain and symptoms. He theorizes that this pain relief is relaxation-induced. Not only that, but he believes that multiple mechanisms of the body may use music/vibration to regain a healthy homeostasis.

According to studies done by George Patrick, PhD, just one sound treatment entrains about a 33 percent increase in perceived relaxation levels and a 54 percent reduction of intensity of pain, tension, fatigue, nausea, headache, and depression.

The study shows a treatment on a sound table provide the following:
• Slowed heart rate
• Reduced oxygen consumption
• Decreased blood pressure
• Slowed respiration rate
• Relaxed muscles

Mentally the study also showed:
• Deep relaxation
• Changed brainwave frequencies (generally slowing down from beta to alpha and alpha to theta or delta)
• Cleared the mind from anxiety
• Created a feeling of calm and peacefulness

As an additional benefit, vibroacoustics can help people learn to recognize the state of relaxation and, over time, become able to reach relaxation at will. Vibroacoustics is a great way to learn how to relax and develop relaxation as a daily habit!

Olav Skille Research

Olav Skille discovered Vibroacoustic Therapy to be beneficial for conditions such as asthma, autism, cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, insomnia, pain and Parkinson’s disease, describing the three main areas of effect from Vibroacoustic Therapy as being (1) Spasmolytic and muscle-relaxing effect, (2) Increase in blood flow to the extremities, and (3) Marked but varying effects to the vegetative state.
In a study performed on 40 patients experiencing lumbar regional pains it was found that, after given a VibroAcoustic Therapy session, 75% of participants experienced a complete dissolution of pain while 10% experienced a significant decrease in it.
It’s been found that sound bed treatments can lead to a significant decrease in muscle spasms in just about any part of the body. How could you not smile after one?
In a study that took 32 individuals in the same work space over the course of three months, it was found that after exposing them to VibroAcoustic therapy over the course of three months that there was a 80 percent decrease in anxiety levels.
Vibracoustic Therapy, more often than not leads to a slowed heart rate and thus an improved heart rate variability (HRV), which is an indicator of stress resilience.
Vibroacoustic treatments have shown time and time again to increase circulation, which nourishes the cells and organs of the body.
Vibroacoustic sound therapy has been shown to reduce symptoms of ADD/ADHD in children with profound and multiple learning difficulties as well as in the elderly in long-term residential care.
Other benefits of Vibroacoustic therapy include blood flow stimulation (making pressure sores and ulcers heal faster), swelling reduction, as well as muscle and back alleviation and joint improvement.

Jupiter Medical Center

Tests with chemotherapy patients at the Jupiter Medical Center in Florida found similar results: 62.8% reduction of anxiety and 61.6% reduction of fatigue for 27 patients in 41 vibroacoustics sessions.

Duke University

A study at Duke University Medical Center also reported significant pain reduction for 20 women who underwent surgery for various cancers. Also at Duke, vibroacoustics was tested in physical therapy sessions following total knee replacements, showing that the tools helped to increase range of motion. Additionally, heart surgeons using vibroacoustics therapy during cardiac surgery recovery found significant decreases in patients’ use of sedative and pain medication, time spent on the ventilator, time spent in the cardiac unit, and overall time spent in the hospital.

Mindful Research Study

In a study that took 110 participants self-reporting stress levels of 4 or higher on a scale of 0-10 it was found that after spending 25 minutes on a Sound Lounge in a dimly lit room that there was a significant decrease in stress levels, with a majority of the participants saying they would recommend others to use a Sound Lounge.

The Sound Lounge helps induce a state of deep meditation which provides benefits similar to sleep that lower blood pressure, reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression; and allow for the onset of creative ideas.

Bio Therapy Study

47% Reduction in Depression
47% Reduction in Fear
54% Reduction in Body Aches
48% Reduction in Anger
46% Reduction in Cravings
44% Reduction in Headaches

Psychological and Physiological Transformation

Music produces alterations in physiology. Soothing music can produce a response characteristic of relaxation in which autonomic, immune, endocrine and neuropeptide systems are altered. Likewise, it produces desired psychological responses such as reductions in anxiety and fear. Some responses have been linked to effects on the hemispheric functioning of the brain and the limbic system. High psychophysiological stress levels inhibit or block learning. Thus music can be the catalyst to facilitate mental suggestion, and enhance our own learning ability and self-healing capacities. Music is now being used in many areas of medicine including labor and delivery, ICU, CCU, surgery, dentistry, neurology, psychiatry, gerontology, rehabilitation, oncology, pain and stress management, and many others.

International Studies

International studies continue to attest to the effectiveness of VibroAcoustic Therapy as an intervention for clinical populations in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, migraine headaches, gastrointestinal ulcers, Raynaud’s disease, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, polyarthritis, sports injury, low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, autism, insomnia, depression, and anxiety disorders.

EPIGENETICS

The field of epigenetics is relatively new, focusing “above” genetics. I believe that E.E. Just’s theories in the 1930s, while not coining the term, led to or certainly contributed to this field. The term “epigenetics” was introduced in 1942 by embryologist Conrad Waddington. Can events in someone’s lifetime change the way their DNA is expressed, and how can that change be passed on to the next generation?

This is the process of epigenetics, where the readability, or expression, of genes is modified without changing the DNA code itself. Tiny chemical tags are added to or removed from our DNA in response to changes in the environment in which we are living. These tags turn genes on or off, offering a way of adapting to changing conditions without inflicting a more permanent shift in our genomes.

Quoted above, Bruce Lipton, PhD in Cellular Biology, states that his life’s work has determined that we are no longer victims of our heredity, that it is the environment in which a cell resides that determines health or illness.

Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal (IMCJ):

“I know the brain is the chemist, but what chemistry should the brain put into the blood? The chemistry put into the blood by the brain is a direct complement to the picture we hold in our mind. In other words, the mind’s image is translated by the brain into chemistry, which then goes to the body to create a physical complement to the image in the mind. In ancient terms, back from the days of the Buddha, 2500 years ago, ‘What we believe, we become.’ Basically, our perception changes the chemistry of our blood.” ~Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.

Don Estes (inventor of the VibraSound, Portacle, and Sensorium) chemist, biologist, and neuroscientist, worked with Bruce Lipton when Bruce started shaving the layers off of cells to see where the health of the cell originated. Don ultimately went into neuroscience, while Bruce continued his studies in cellular biology.

Bruce has worked with me to help a client who has one of the few genetic diseases Bruce mentions that is hereditary who was seeking relief on the VibraSound. We worked to shift the emotional environment in which his cells reside, and the client found significant relief during and after the times he was able to come in.

Bruce also discusses how events and messages received in our first 7 years of life are crucial to how we experience the world, as well as why it is so challenging for us to change ideas and beliefs that were implanted into our subconscious minds from those early, vulnerable, and trusting days of life. He states that from our third trimester until our seventh year, our brains are in theta state (explained below), the hypnotic state.

NEUROSCIENCE

Brain states, measured in hertz, can lend either calm and rest or creativity (theta, alpha) to our experience, or they can provide the energy for us to handle everything that comes toward us throughout our day (beta).

Which part of the brain requires stimulation to send us into states of ecstasy and bliss (gamma)? Which part of the brain needs to be suppressed in order for us to reach those states? These are the questions Don asked when he entered the field of neuroscience.

When we are comfortable, when everything seems “normal” to us, and familiarity in a pleasant environment is present, our reticular activator system (RAS) is calm, allowing us to relax. We feel safe. At that point, we can access higher states of being, also referred to as higher levels of consciousness. Every single part of the VibraSound is designed to make us comfortable and feel “safe.” Most people get on the VibraSound and say: “Oh, it’s a water mattress! I love these! This feels wonderful!” Mission accomplished. I am thorough in my explanation for what clients will experience so that there are no surprises, and so they also feel completely safe to express themselves.

I begin sessions by having them fill out a short form with two items on it:

1. Are you living your visions and dreams for your life? If not, why not?

2. Do you have any physical issues presenting in your body?

After my first 200 clients, I was reviewing their forms and my notes. I began realizing that for almost every client, their answers to these questions were integrated with each other. Using Louise Hay’s book Heal Your Body which lists Physical Issues, Probable Causes (always emotional), and New Thought Patterns, we begin to see not only where they may be stopping themselves from stepping into their visions and dreams, but also that the issues coming up in their bodies were communicating with them (pain seems to get everyone’s attention) to make shifts in their beliefs and life situations and choices. In fact, in her book, pain’s new thought pattern starts out with “I release the past.”

After some initial guidance, I listen, build trust, empathize, educate, and believe in them. They are usually very relaxed by the time we select how they want to begin to shift their consciousness around an old belief system, or a belief they have unknowingly held in their bodies that has created physical symptoms. In fact, by the time my colleagues at CLEAR Center of Health: Dr. McDougall, Dr. Sinatra, or Dr. Tinney send them to me, they seem quite relieved to be focusing on the new thought patterns. Through their personalized work on the Portacle, our breath biofeedback system, the neurofeedback from the visual, aural, and binaural phasing along with the somatic experience of their work provided by the VibraSound Wave Table, my clients are already empowered, happy, and calm. Usually by their 6th or 7th repetition of their created new thought patterns I hear a shift in their voice and breath. It sounds like they will never be the same person again. Interestingly, the young adults I have had the privilege of serving get it much faster, usually by their 2nd or 3rd repetition.

Following a Portacle session, clients are calmly excited over the possibilities for their lives and also eager to experience the next part of their session. A few clients want to work only with the Portacle while floating comfortably on the VibraSound and use their time in that way. We discuss what patterns come up on their screens during their repetitions of each new thought pattern, what it means to them, and how they feel while they are speaking it aloud or thinking it or about the possibilities of who they will be when they shift into that new personal law.

From Joe Dispenza, Neuroscientist: “When we mis-manage our attention and energy, it is because we are trying to control and predict everything in our life. We feel more like matter and less like energy. More like particle and less like wave.

“If you take yourself out of particle and move into possibility, within the brain the front starts talking to the back, the side starts talking to the back, the side starts synchronizing with the side, and the heart synchs up. It’s as if you get a biological upgrade.

“People become addicted to the rush of adrenaline and use the problems and conditions in their life to reaffirm that addiction to the emotion. They need the bad job, poor relationship, or difficult situation in the life because it makes them feel something. If people use the conditions in their life to reaffirm their addiction to some emotion, then it is possible that they become addicted to a life they do not even like.

“In the short term all organisms in nature can tolerate short-term stress. No organism can live in emergency mode for an extended period of time.

“When we can’t turn off the stress response, we are headed for disease.”

With Don Estes’ Portacle technology, we are provided with three ways to help us create whole brain synchrony: visually, aurally, and via binaural phasing (similar to binaural beats, but instead of hertz, using a client’s own sine and cosine waves explained below). It will help to keep in mind that Don uses the analogy of our bodies being the instrument, and our minds the player.

From Don Estes:

“Binaural beats are when there are different frequencies in each ear and the brain is “entrained” to the difference.

“We use binaural phasing, where the frequencies in each ear are the same, but they are out of phase, one carrying the player and the other the instrument, which forces the brain into resolving the difference, making the ‘music’ better.

“Scalar waves are produced when two exact frequencies run into each other 180 degrees out of phase (sort of the like a head-on collision) and annihilate each other.

“Another wave is produced at 90 degrees called a scalar wave which purportedly has healing properties.

“We have evidence with our Human Neurocomputer that consciousness uses scalar waves because when we observe the player and instrument components running into each other in a similar 180 out of phase head-on collision, the wave function collapses. And all the possibilities collapse into the one seen or observed.

“We believe that since consciousness is a scalar phenomenon the Portacle and our other technologies can teach a person that their own body/brain/spirit complex can be the scalar healing technology.

“We want them to understand they are the technology but just do not have an operating manual. That’s what the Portacle helps someone write for themselves…the vehicle, fuel, directions, map, emergency kit, and operational manual for the journey.”

Schumann Resonance and Deep Meditation Music

The Schumann resonance is the result of the waveguide-like behavior of the spherical shell-shaped resonant cavity formed between the Earth’s surface and its ionosphere when stimulated by electromagnetic discharge events such as lightning strikes. 7.83 Hz is considered the Earth’s hertz field, with slight (0.5 Hz) variations occurring regularly, and occasional earthquakes producing larger variations.

In the brain, 7.83 Hz is the border between theta (the hypnotic state that Bruce Lipton discusses that defines our lives from the 3rd trimester to about our 7thyear on the planet), and the highly creative state of alpha.

We use the Sensorium, an interface that controls the technical aspects of our session including light patterned glasses designed to gently guide the brain into that hertz, while a client is hearing ocean waves over the headphones and feeling the vibrations from the wave table for 7.5 minutes.

Immediately following this program that usually results in a very relaxed and very open state, deeply meditative music begins. Music that gently allows your body to release old and new pain, stress, tension, self-limiting beliefs, and negative messaging after their Portacle work is done and they are either asleep or in another world where all is well. After well over 1,000 sessions, I have had only three clients who were unable to enjoy and appreciate this part of their session because they were in a loop of sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight or freeze) response.

Some people have had such trauma that they do not recognize themselves outside of their flight or fight or freeze state. When that is the case, we begin work only with the Portacle, creating new neural connections until they let me know when they are ready for the VibraSound.

The rest have transformed into more of who they truly are in their inner being, feeling they have finally, finally “come home” to themselves after almost an entire lifetime of façade and living others’ expectations of them.

I feel privileged to be a loving, compassionate, and thrilled witness. That is why I do this work, and why I believe it is the most important work on our planet at this time. That is why, through fires and uncertainty in my own life, through healing my own trauma and PTSD from each of those occurrences, from the loss of my beloved father’s passing in my arms after his gentle, albeit inexorable descent into Alzheimer’s disease for nine years, I am committed to do this work and to offer this life-changing service to my clients.

Now in a medical office, it thrills me to watch my clients improve and grow over the course of a protocol they help me set for their benefit. What a privilege to work with medical and naturopath doctors who understand how crucial this work is for their patients’ health and well-being!

Emotional diet. I believe it is more important than our physical diets, and the kinder our physical diets are -- to our bodies, our planet, and animals -- the lighter, more graceful, and easier our emotional diets become, allowing us more time in expanded states of compassion and love. Do those higher states stop or at least slow down the aging process? I have come to believe they do. I frequently see people looking about 20 years younger when they finally (and most reluctantly) get off of the VibraSound. Most of my clients want to keep the stuffed dolphin (with a small transducer in its belly that vibrates with mid- to high-level tones on top of them), and a couple of them have even asked me to bring all their meals to them on the VibraSound, and say that they want to live there. We actually can “live” where our sessions take them, and those who return for multiple sessions are training their bodies to stay in parasympathetic nervous system, which is the system our physical bodies are designed to be in 95-98% of the time. I have read both sages and scientists who state that it is possible to exist in those higher levels of being. It is what I choose to believe and what I invite every client to at least experience. Gamma.

QUANTUM PHYSICS

Automata are the smallest, most indivisible particles of manifestation. Beneath vibrating strings, smaller even than those, are automata. And we have brain automata. How can we possibly begin shifting something that infinitesimal?

Nature has gifted us with breath, our first gift when we arrive on the planet, and the last gift we give up before we leave the planet. Breath and voice (for the able-bodied) are our gifts for our entire lives to say who we are and what we want in this lifetime. Our breath and voice, sine and cosine, are our most powerful tools for transformation. Everything begins as wave until it becomes particle.

Thought is in the quantum realm. Look around you right now. What do you see? Take a minute. Breathe. Focus. Do you see a chair? A desk? A table? Every single thing you see began as thought. Someone had to use their breath and voice or a form of communication to express it into the physical realm, share it, type it, speak it, repeat it, explain it (perhaps over and over) and probably get a bit obsessed with it in order to bring it into particle in the physical domain. What is the cycle of manifestation? Thought, expression, action, manifestation. Some people just stay in thought and never express their ideas. Some people do not think things through, but talk about them all the time, or they never follow through with the action required to make them manifest. Some people jump into action without fully considering the best way to bring their concept to life. In our current three-dimensional reality, four steps are required most of the time.

Toroidal Energy Field

Homer Simpson of The Simpsons describes the torus as a giant donut in the sky. Earth has her own toroidal energy field, and so do each of us.

Unified Field Theorist Nassim Haramein states in a bit more detail: “The torus is the fundamental energy-flow field-patterning in the universe at all scales from the proton to the atom to the electromagnetic fields of planets, stars, galaxies, and even the universe itself.”

This toroidal energy field surrounds us and brings not only heat and energy to our bodies but is also a field of information. When we want to upgrade the body, we can begin by upgrading the information in the toroidal energy field.

So I am curious: How do you talk to yourself? Are you sending positive and loving messages to your body and mind and heart, or negative messages that you may have received from parents, siblings, or our culture during the first 7 years of your life?

In medicine it is being acknowledged that chronic disorders begin years and even decades before the arrival of diagnosed symptoms.

At Expanded States, we invite you and assist you in crafting the new messages you choose to send yourself, and to speak these new thought patterns into the Portacle, reprogramming the subconscious mind using binaural phasing to create whole brain synchrony, shifting your brain automata to reorder your reality.

We mentioned earlier binaural beats, which use hertz to differentiate the signals in each ear, i.e., 20 Hz in one ear, 24 Hz in the other, so that the brain, wanting to resolve the difference between the two, goes into a 4 Hz state, which is the delta state easing us into sleep. There are millions of delta sleep songs now, covered by ocean waves or calming tones or music.

Using a similar technique, binaural phasing, instead of using hertz, uses a person’s own sine and cosine waves, which come from their breath (our aspiration) and voice (current reality). The Portacle splits those signals, sending the sine into one ear, and cosine into the other ear. Just as with hertz, our brain wants to resolve the difference between the two waves, reality vs. potential, creating whole brain synchrony around what a person is saying. For me, it feels as if it wakes up my brain, showing me new opportunities and allows me the choice of stepping into them or not if I’m not quite ready. The powerful, powerful seed has been planted for the day I am ready and the way is shown.

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND ASPIRE AND HARMONIC RESOLUTION? By Don Estes

Harmonic Resolution Therapy has its inspiration and development centered in ten fundamental key concepts:

1. Human biometric measurements (brainwaves, heartbeats, skin conductivity, voice signatures, etc.) reveal the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual status of the owner.

2. Spectral analysis of the breath and voice (aspiration) is the biometric of choice for evaluating the physical, mental, and spiritual essence of a human being. Breath is the fundamental cycle that drives metabolism, and voice is an extension of the breath. Breath reveals the way in which we take-in life and express ourselves back out into the environment, and voice is the mechanism we have evolved to communicate who we are and what we want out of life. Whereas brainwaves reveal mostly what a person is thinking, and heartbeats mostly what a person is feeling...the breath and voice patterns weave both together in real time. In addition, since most biofeedback is performed with sound, aspiration analysis provides the ultimate feedback source of vibrations that do not have to be arbitrarily converted from electrical signals like brainwaves and heartbeats.

3. All human suffering stems from tension created by the difference between the actual and potential self. This duality also reveals itself as manifested vs. un-manifested, real vs. imaginary, and body vs. spirit. Mind is the complex operator that resolves the difference between these opposites, and "assembles" them together into manifested reality. The problems that arise in life do so to help resolve this tension. Anything short of 100% purity is apparently not enough since we are constantly, as ancient texts put it, "purified by fire"...continuously thrown back into the flame for further purification until we are fully actualized…the true meaning of perfection.

4. All living organisms have some degree of harmony no matter how imperfect they might be. This natural resonance is referred to as their "resonant frequency signature." Driving any object at its resonant frequencies enhances its natural harmony. Continual entrainment will cause it to re-order to a higher level of organization.

Perhaps the most common example of transformative resonance is that of an opera singer shattering a wine glass. Of course, inanimate objects like a wine glass have no built-in mechanisms by which to re-order themselves after such chaotic event. However, humans do it all the time…each of us experiences crisis and life-shattering episodes. The old adage is that these challenges either kill you or make you stronger. This saying is just another way of indicating that under such stress, we either sink into chaos, or re-order to higher levels...growth or regression...harmonic transformation or discord.

5. Multi-sensory biofeedback is the method of choice for altering human rhythms and mindsets. VibraSound® technology is the ultimate feedback system and a perfect match for Harmonic Resolution™ because by synchronizing the senses with simultaneous personal harmonic resonance the information is shared with multiple parts of the brain. For example, if someone says his or her name to you it stores in one place in your brain. If you say it back, it re-distributes to two. If you write it down it is goes to three, and if you look at what you wrote, it gets shared with a fourth. In other words, the more places related information is stored in the brain, the more integrated and useful the information becomes, and the easier it is to recall and utilize as resource. Imagine lying on a warm liquid crystal mattress while pulsations from your own vibrational signature ripple through your body, surround your ears, and excite your eyes.

6. Consciousness can only exist in one of two modes at any given time. During any event, the mind either diffusely absorbs into the experience, or narrowly focuses to analyze it. Whereas analysis is important, taken to an extreme it can block access to all the good things in life. Harmonic Resolution™ takes experience to a new level by providing multi-sensory feedback of a unique and captivating nature. This leads to peak experience, which can immediately reprogram the personality and re-order it to higher levels. The resultant euphoria experienced releases neuropeptides that cause "goosebump" rushes to race up and down the body. This can increase the ability to experience pleasure in life and retards the pleasure-freeze phenomenon (anhedonism) that can result in terminal illness. In addition, such experience can increase the bandwidth of consciousness and the quality of life.

7. Many people who feel tired and burned out actually have enough energy, but have it unevenly distributed or allocated to unneeded tasks. This energy consists of "resources" which have triune physical, mental, and spiritual qualities. Re-distribution of available resources is sometimes an easier and more balanced approach than just adding more energy.

8. Amplitude and magnitude are measurements of the total energy inherent in any individual frequency. Enhanced resonance results in magnified amplitude, which increases the available energy. This additional energy can then be re-distributed according to one's own natural harmony.

9. There is a fundamental and common time base that unites all of life together. It is the number that resolves the music octave. This universal time code not only unifies the various frequencies of each individual, but can also resolve any or all groupings of individuals. It connects all of the subparts of an individual, as well as each individual one to another.

It is a ratio that represents the original fall from absolute perfection of spiritual potential into the relative manifestation of actual physical reality, and is best expressed in music theory. Western music scales are conveniently "tempered" to make the octave double in frequency with each progression for ease of use, but the natural octave of the Universal Rhythm does not exactly do so…it comes up short by a small fraction known in music theory as the Great Diesis…a small ratio mathematically expressed as 125:128.

As a time-based ratio the Great Diesis allows for smooth transition between the temporal and spectral domains and resolves differentials between analog and digital vector processing. All human action takes place in the temporal domain of relative time. However, all of the possible outcomes of such action are concealed within the spectral domain of frequency or relative vibration. The Great Diesis facilitates transformation and provides the foundation for the Harmonic Resolution Natural Resonance Biofeedback Therapy programs made available through various output sources around the world.

Converted to frequency, this ratio provides a universal fundamental for all wave phenomena such as gravity, sound, light, and human biometrics. In other words, it is a number that ties us all together as whole number ratios of the Universal Rhythm and allows therapies based on enhancing what's right about an individual rather than fixing what's wrong.

10. The Harmonic Resolution ™ process can be applied to any substance that is liquid or gaseous. State of the art transformational resources can be made using Harmonic Resolution ™. For example, the water that makes up 70+% of your body can be enhanced with superior harmonic water that has been purified and transformed by the Harmonic Resolution ™ technique. These droplets of liquid light can provide pure energy when extra resources are required.

Harmonic Resolution ™ synchronizes all of the above into one coherent experience producing, in essence, harmonic resolution. Imaginary becomes real...potential becomes actual. Energy increases, and healing is allowed to take place. A new sense of direction and purpose become evident...unity arrives. AHA!

From Veronica:

This concludes The Science section at this time. To be expanded as more studies are done and as we become more educated and aware of the incredible health benefits of this powerful trifecta of therapies Don has provided.

A client who could barely get into my office, walking heavily on a cane, said he felt a twinge in his lower back while he was repeating his Portacle intention. He felt a lot of tension release in his lower back during the music session. He had no problems getting off the VibraSound, and actually forgot his cane when he left the office.

A client experiencing frequent night terrors from childhood abuse was re-triggered by the stress of the pandemic. This person came in twice a week for 1.5 months. Her sessions on the VibraSound seemed to retrain her body to remember the parasympathetic nervous system state. She no longer awakens screaming or trying to get a breath and running to the bathroom, turning on the lights to calm herself down for a great length of time, knowing she cannot return to sleep. Now even if she awakens during the night, there is no panic and she can easily go back to sleep.

An 80 year old client in fairly chronic arthritic pain came in with a pain level of 10 in her hands and fingers stated that it was a pain level of 2 after her session.

I have also sold a system to a psychiatric professional who is eager to utilize new modalities to help his patients, who struggle with trauma, depression, and addiction.

At Expanded States we do not refer to clients as “patients,” which in ancient Greek means “submissive sufferer.” We do not see people that way.

With Don as my mentor, I learned early on not to consider myself a “healer” as such, except for my own healing. I have no right to take away any body’s attempt to get them to look at their emotional issues and move it out of their tissues for healing.

I much prefer to see everyone as a golden Buddha, perhaps covered with clay for whatever reasons I cannot fathom. My time and efforts are towards assisting and guiding them to see themselves as the magnificent beings they are designed to be.

Over the years, I’ve come to consider this “job” to be a purple-collar job and believe that it has a very useful place in many areas of our society: doctor’s offices, health care centers to reduce anxiety for pre- and post-op surgeries, trauma treatment centers, recovery programs, dental offices, chiropractic offices, legal mediation offices, Human Resource departments for stress reduction, and in top levels of governments around the world. I believe these guided sessions would significantly contribute to a healthier, happier global population, and combined with a compassionate plant-based diet as well as a compassion-based emotional diet, including self-compassion and self-care, that we could indeed provide healthcare for all.

Thank you for your curiosity and your time delving into this emerging (re-emerging?) concept of health and well-being with me. I would love to see you for a session at my office at CLEAR Center of Health in Mill Valley, CA, USA.

Thank you,
