Equanimity

By

Equanimity (Latin: æquanimitas 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.

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.

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...

Placebo

By
Someone recently asked me in response to my blog as well as to the success of the Liberation Procedure, "Is it just placebo effect"? This is truly a loaded question. After my initial defensive reaction, I gave it deeper thought. Placebo is truly a giant word and concept. It has negative connotations("he is just better because of the placebo effect") but it has immense power and strength. In research studies, experimenters often compare a new treatment with a placebo. In order for the treatment to be accepted, a new therapy has to be better than placebo. In most studies placebo does remarkably well ie 30-40% benefit. So 30-40 per cent of people get better with a sugar pill or an inert substance. This speaks strongly about several points. First, approximately one third of people get better with no intervention with placebo or time or just believing that they will get better. This has enormous power. Harnessing the power of this safe intervention can be amazingly hea...
