Imagine the feeling of a gentle undulating motion, rippling along the vertebrae of your spine and removing tension and stress.  This is a unique phenomenon that occurs in Network Spinal Analysis after a couple of months of care.  It is called the somato-psychic or body mind wave and it is the basis of the intermediate and advanced levels of NSA care.

You may already enjoy the effects of the somato-psychic wave or it may just be lying there below the surface, waiting for you to allow its emergence.  In any case, the experience of the wave involves movement of your spine.  It can be up and down or side to side depending on the direction of the tension in the spinal cord being addressed.

The latest series of articles have been discussing the structure of NSA care.  In Level 1 we saw that the breath wave, different and separate from the somato-psychic wave, developed.  In Level 2A, we began stretching the gateways, lifting the spine and building up the intensity and energy needed to initiate the wave.  In Level 2B, two gateways start to dance rhythmically and the somato-psychic wave moved between them.

The somato-psychic wave is a involuntary phenomenon.  It is generated in the spinal cord and does not involve the brain.  This is referred to as a central pattern generator in neuroscience and the only other one that can be reproduced and studied in humans is walking. 

This has been a very exciting development in science since it provides a phenomenon to model mathematically for humans.  A mathematical algorithm has been determined for this wave by a PhD mathematician named Edmund Jonckheere.  This shows that the wave is reproducible and only developed during NSA care.  It cannot be faked!

So if you would like to experience this unique phenomenon in your body and be on the leading edge of neuroscience, allow this incredible wave to develop in your spine during your entrainments.  While it is involuntary, it can be stopped or inhibited.  What you want to do is stop inhibiting it.

All you need to do is allow your body to move.  When you have stretched a gateway, don't just drop the part of your spine that was lifted.  Observe where the energy and movement wants to go next.  Let the gateway share the movement and energy with another part of your spine.  Send the energy through the length of your spine and feel the movement that wants to emerge.  This primes the system and facilitates the development of the somato-psychic wave.

Play with it and enjoy it.  Let go of the mind's control over the body.  That's exactly the reason the somato-psychic wave develops.  It actually destabilizes the mind's hold on the body.  So if you are worked into a mental frenzy and your body is a ball of tension, this wave can blast through it all and free your body from the control of your mind.  Imagine the freedom!
