What Is MBSR?

If you've ever felt weighed down by stress, anxiety, or emotional baggage, you're not alone. Many of us carry these pressures, often without realizing it, affecting our mental and physical health. But there's a way to break free from this cycle and live a more balanced, peaceful life. It's called Mind Body Spirit Release® (The MBSR Method™).

At Heights of Health, we offer Mind Body Spirit Release®, developed by the founder, to help you tap into your subconscious and release hidden emotional blocks that cause stress, anxiety, and even depression. Let's examine what The MBSR Method™ is, how it works, and how it can help your well-being.

What Does Mind Body Spirit Release® Do?

Mind Body Spirit Release® is a holistic healing method that targets emotional and physical stress stored in the subconscious. When we experience trauma or negative events, our subconscious mind can store those memories, even if we don't realize it. These hidden experiences can affect how we feel and react daily. The MBSR Method™ focuses on uncovering and releasing these hidden emotional imprints, helping you move past them and feel more balanced.

Unlike other methods that only address surface-level symptoms, Mind Body Spirit Release® works by identifying and clearing the root causes of stress, anxiety, and trauma. At Heights of Health, our certified master practitioners are trained at the highest level possible in this modality and can guide you through the process to help you achieve lasting emotional healing.

How Does Mind Body Spirit Release® Work?

The MBSR Method™ focuses on your subconscious mind—the part of your brain that runs most of your reactions and behaviors without you even thinking about them. It's where emotions from past events, both positive and negative, are stored.

Imagine this: You hear a song that takes you back to a specific memory. You may feel the same emotions you did back then, even if it was years ago. The same happens with negative memories, like stressful or traumatic events. These memories can cause physical and emotional reactions, even if you're unaware of it. Mind Body Spirit Release® uses Muscle Testing or Ideomotor Testing to help bring those hidden emotions into the open so they can be released and replaced with positive, life-affirming thoughts and behaviors.

What Are Muscle Testing and Ideomotor Testing?

The MBSR Method™ uses two key techniques to find and clear these emotional blocks: muscle/energy testing and ideomotor testing.

  • Muscle Testing: This method checks how your nervous system, which control your muscles, responds to specific thoughts or ideas. It's like asking your body, "What's bothering you?" and letting it tell you through physical responses. It helps the practitioner pinpoint where emotional stress is stored and, more specifically, what that unprocessed emotional stress is.
  • Ideomotor Testing: This is another way of communicating with the body to uncover emotional blocks. It's similar to muscle testing but uses a gentle, subconscious signal to guide the process. Both techniques can be utilized in person or remotely for virtual sessions.

Both methods help locate the emotional blocks that are affecting your health. Once we uncover these imprints, we clear them with cold laser therapy.

How Does Cold Laser Therapy Help?

Cold laser therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that sends light energy into your body to help clear the stress stored in your meridians, reflex points and cells. It's directed at specific points in your body to calm the nervous system and encourage healing.

It doesn't erase the emotions or memories themselves, but it does help the body "unlearn" the stress responses that come with them. Over time, this process makes you feel more at peace and less triggered by things that once caused stress.

The Benefits of Mind Body Spirit Release®

The MBSR Method™ offers some pretty incredible benefits:

  • Emotional Stress Relief: The MBSR Method™ helps reduce chronic stress and anxiety by identifying and clearing unprocessed emotions and limiting beliefs.
  • Improved Self-Regulation: The MBSR Method™ helps you gain better control over your emotional responses, leading to healthier reactions in stressful situations.
  • Physical Healing: Since emotional stress often leads to physical symptoms, releasing those stressors can also improve physical health.
  • Better Relationships: By clearing emotional blocks, The MBSR Method™ can improve how you relate to others, creating healthier boundaries and stronger connections.
  • Overall Well-being: The MBSR Method™ helps balance mind, body, and spirit, leading to a healthier, more centered life.

Who Can Benefit from Mind Body Spirit Release®?

The MBSR Method™ is helpful for anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, or everyday life challenges. Whether you're overwhelmed by work, relationships, or personal struggles, Mind Body Spirit Release® can help you feel more grounded and in control.
