Network Practitioners from across the Lower Mainland gather to guide you through the process of checking in with your body's vibrations and allowing your internal rhythms to instruct, enliven and heal you. Creating and supporting a safe space for healing, this revolutionary inner journey of discovery has been taught to The Clear Day facilitators by the master himself, Dr. Donald Epstein.
Attendees are from all walks of life: lay people of all ages, chiropractors, body and social workers, and other health and wellness facilitators. They all have their own stories, and their own dreams. They are here to share this healing, and self-awareness workshop that has been attended by thousands throughout the world at participating Network facilities.
The Clear Day is an educational, experiential day workshop designed to help you develop lifetime tools for greater awareness of yourself, your tension and ease patterns, and your body mind's underlying rhythms and needs. This knowledge will assist you in developing a positive experience with your own self, correcting energy dissipating systems resulting in enhanced spinal and nerve system integrity, insight and well-being. The Clear Day nurtures your awareness of your inter-connection with the web of life, assisting you in your journey.
There are those who are relatively new to the process of personal transformation, new to the concept of being attentive to one's body, its tension, its ease, its movement, its stillness, its breath and its energetic flow. There are those for whom this is their first Clear Day, and for some this Clear Day may be their fifth or twenty-fifth program attended. Whether you are a veteran or first-time “Gater,” we welcome you to this profound and powerful experience. Your commitment to life and community is about to take a quantum leap.
The direct and indirect results of The Clear Day will support your advancement for those currently receiving Network Care. And those that are not Network Practice Members, many self-healing benefits including increased self-correction and self-regulation of spinal subluxations (misaligned spinal segments causing nervous system interference) will result.
Participation in The Clear Day demonstrates your commitment to life, and to a greater degree of wholeness and healing for yourself and the global community.
As children, most were not taught that paying attention to oneself is vital to a happy and healthy life. Mostly taught that their accomplishments, their job, their schedule, their spouse or family, or earning a living was primary. Also, that paying attention to self was self-indulgent or selfish. As a result, the natural inborn mechanisms that helped you listen or observe your body mind's subtle cues became inhibited, improperly developed, or simply blocked. Consequently, we learned to use our thinking brain to redirect our attention outside of ourselves, placing our trust there too… outside of ourselves.
Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors, if traumatic, are difficult to deal with. Brilliant unconscious biological survival mechanisms (adapted coping strategies) established throughout lifetimes insulate us from experiencing our true being.
It has been shown that in people with severe trauma, the emotional brain (limbic system) places a "marker" on these certain experiences. This happens because our cerebral cortex (thinking brain) avoids dealing with this perceived life-threatening experience. Hence, the energy of the trauma continues to circulate throughout the body, without our awareness (or perhaps only partial or distorted awareness).
It has been reported that people having had severe trauma their posture, body movements, and sensations associated with this certain experience or event, may persist or recur, even though there may be no conscious memory of the event. Dr. Epstein suggests that via the mechanism of the facilitated subluxation, mechanical tension at the spinal level replays the energy of the trauma as the brain avoids full awareness of the event.
Your body cannot heal something it is not fully aware of. Unable to do things differently until aware of what it is that you are actually doing, the resulting spinal tension and altered spinal postures act as a means of further perpetuating the fragmentation of your true being.
Is designed to improve your attentiveness to your inner wisdom. You will be learning to pay attention to yourself in a way that may exceed anything you have ever experienced. You will be asked to place your focused attention on you spine, its movements, your breath and your sensations, during Network sessions. You will not be asked to do anything with this awareness. By placing your attention on yourself as you participate in this day program you allow yourself to help those parts that have become separate by coming together again. In this process the body will most often disburse the energy once confined to a specific area, as it reintegrates this separated part of you back into the whole.
Applying the Somato Respiratory Integration exercises, we awaken and surrender control to the internal vibrations, wisdom, and rhythms of our personal and transpersonal biology. In just moments, you can “take charge" off your symptoms and crisis. Through this revolutionary method, we can amplify what was unavailable and invisible within, becoming more present with ourselves and other. These simple to learn and easy to apply exercises also assist the higher brain centers to become more aware and responsive to the body. This is an excellent way to deepen and advance one's progression through and experience of Network Spinal Analysis Levels of Care.
It has been found the experience of "awakening" in a group environment facilitates personal healing. Through our own healing we become more compassionate towards ourselves. Through our compassion for ourselves we become more available to others, supporting and sharing our experience of healing, accelerating the healing process for all in attendance. As we express more of who we truly are, by our very presence we inspire others to heal.
Healing seems to be a community experience. The Clear Day supports this phenomenon. Participation in this group process brings so many of us to the conclusion that we are not separate, but all connected. (Have you ever stood between two speakers at a rock concert your cells could not avoid being influenced by the motion of the air from the music?)
Participants are assigned to either of two groups (A or B). When group "A" is in the "Network" room, group "B" is participating in a workshop, and vice versa. The workshops coupled with the Network sessions are synergistic, each adding to your Clear Day progress.
Please allow yourself to surrender to the flow of the day as this too is part of the healing process. We have prepared a special "travel card" for each Clear Day member. As your are entering the "Network" room for your group session, please pick up your travel card from the box outside the room, and hand it to the doctor assisting you that Network session. Please place a fresh piece of face paper on the entrainment/adjusting table. At the completion of your Network session, your doctor will make notations and initial your travel card. Please return your travel card to the box provided outside the room. The travel cards will be alphabetized, and remain outside the Network room for your next scheduled Network session. You are invited to, but not required to, participate in all of the Network sessions and programs available for the members of your group at The Clear Day.
Please schedule your next visit with your chiropractor as soon as you return home from The Clear Day. If you currently consult with any other health or healing facilitators please seek their attention shortly after the program as much physiologic change will have occurred and reevaluation may be appropriate. The power which animates this living world is being expressed though you and others during this weekend. It deserves respect and reverence. During this program it is suggested that you give thanks to your spiritual source in your own personal way.
