NET: A Mind-Body Approach
NET, or Neuro-Emotional Technique, is a mind-body approach that helps address symptoms related to unresolved, or “stuck”, stress patterns. Many experiences we have in our everyday lives can subconsciously remind us of unresolved past stressful or traumatic events. This can lead to ongoing chronic stress patterns that surface as symptoms in our mind or body. NET helps find and eliminate these old and reoccurring.
How does NET work?
Neuro-Emotional Technique facilitates communication between the emotional and logical brain as well as the energetic body to restore balance to the nervous system. It uses a combination of manual muscle testing and Traditional Chinese Medicine acupressure points. The muscle test provides biofeedback and works as an involuntary reflex response; there’s a relative strength or weakness based on the state of the nervous system. Meridians and acupressure points are used to identify the emotional stressor that is present and then restore balance to your nervous system.
Studies using functional MRIs have shown dramatic changes in the brain after NET treatment. Before NET, regions of the brain related to forming memories and processing emotion showed high levels of reactivity in response to a distressing situation. After NET, the fMRI showed completely normal functioning in these areas of the brain when exposed to the same stimulus.
NET and Chiropractic
NET is a perfect complement to chiropractic care. While chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring nervous system function through physical alignment and structural integrity, NET addresses emotional stressors that might be disrupting your nervous system in other ways. NET is not only highly effective, but also an extremely efficient technique that can have profound impacts on your overall health and wellbeing.
