Equanimity


Equanimity (Latinæquanimitas having an even mind; aequus even animus mind/soul) is a state of psychological stability and composure which is undisturbed by experience of or exposure to emotions, pain, or other phenomena that may cause others to lose the balance of their mind. The virtue and value of equanimity is extolled and advocated by a number of major religions and ancient philosophies.


At Pando, we are attempting to guide our clients and all interested seekers to find a source of internal power. By internal power, I mean a state of being that is supportive and nurturing to whatever disease state or external condition that confronts us. If we can find a state of internal quiet and balance (equanimity), we are capable of working with any challenge that we meet on the road of life -- including disease states, emotional challenges and even death. So, we focus on helping our clients develop, nurture and strengthen from the inside - out. While this is opposite to the work done in standard medicine, it can make the work of medicine and healing infinitely more powerful and efficacious. When an individual is stable and quiet on the inside, any challenge is mastered and handled more skillfully and without strife.

It is remarkable how different healing and the pursuit of health can be when one is centered and stable. When the hormones adrenaline and cortisol are quiet, our bodies can transform in remarkable ways. Memory and balance are better; sleep is more restful and rejuvenating; blood pressure lowers and smoothes out; heart rate variability stabilizes; blood sugars come back to normal; the immune system expands and strengthens; thoughts achieve more clarity and insight; health-promoting genes are even turned on. The body is a miracle waiting to experience its magnificence.

The Pando Method of learning to communicate openly and honestly while hearing and experiencing the thoughts and feelings of others without judgment, in combination with gentle, nurturing, restorative body movement and accessing the quiet rest of meditation frequently throughout the day leads to this internal state of equanimity. Creating a peaceful internal state gives us all the power to be more of who we want to be.

Liberation

It is now 3 days after "Liberation Day". Sunday afternoon 12:30 pm. February 28th, 2010. Three days ago, Dr. Mohsin Saeed at Scripps Clinic opened my left jugular vein with angioplasty and my right jugular vein with angioplasty followed by a stent. The procedure is called by its inventor, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, The Liberation Procedure. It is a revolutionary treatment for an old, disabling disease -- Multiple Sclerosis. Until about 3 months ago, the only theory I knew about MS was that it was an autoimmune disease which attacked and destroyed myelin, the external coating around nerves. For unknown reasons, nerve conduction was slowed while plaques formed in the brain. It was always unclear why or when attacks would happen but they did and were difficult to control. Modern medicine responded with anti-inflammatory drugs and immune suppressants following the line of reasoning that if the disease was caused by an immune response, then stopping the immune response would stop the dise...

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

$$$

I received my bills this week. $ 32,000 for the Liberation Procedure. $1200 for MRV. Amazingly, my insurance(Blue Cross) covered all but $5000 of the total. I feel so fortunate that it was largely covered. I have sat on Utilization Review Committees(when I worked at Scripps) and thought the insurance company would deny coverage based on the experimental nature of the procedure. Luckily for me, I was wrong! I guess they just cannot deny need for treatment of blocked blood vessels.
