SCENAR for chronic disorders: Professional use

(Excerpt from "The SCENAR Fair: 2007 Review" by Irina Kossovskaia)

Even though I believe that it is possible for a person to make the journey to health alone, I also believe that it should never be the case. I believe in Systemic Interactions.

Whether we accept it or not, we are born into a world of systems; that’s how our Universe is constructed. Systems of various sizes and levels of complexity give birth to one another, live, die and interact continuously. Smaller systems form parts of bigger ones, and then even bigger ones, to ultimately become the Universe, which is a living system in its own right. Universe is holographic, repeating itself in every single part of the whole (for example, the atom very much resembles the Solar system). That’s why each and every system has a similar basic structure, and lives according to similar rules and principles. These rules apply to us regardless of our awareness of their very existence, because we are also living systems (size-wise somewhere in the middle of the pack, I guess) that contain the entire Universe inside (the holographic principle also states that every part of the whole contains information about the entire whole).

I hope you will forgive me for this ‘sidetrack’. I’ve always believed that in order to understand something, one should always consider the bigger picture – and I cannot imagine a bigger picture than the Universe. The Universe is intrinsically coherent – and requires coherency from every part of itself, otherwise it cannot function properly. The same applies to every other living system. They are designed to be self-corrective and self-regulative (and self-reproductive) in order to ensure normal functioning of the bigger system. (I haven’t lost you yet, have I? Bear with me just a little bit longer.) But what if a system cannot correct its own incoherency? What if it is so weak or confused that it cannot heal properly? The bigger system in this case simply MUST have mechanisms in place to help its sub-systems correct themselves, at least for purely egotistical reasons.

Applied to human beings, this means that if we face a serious problem, such is a chronic systemic disorder (or some dysfunction that we obviously could not adequately correct in time), Mother Nature provides us with abundance of opportunities to restore coherency. However, being extremely sophisticated systems, what we sometimes need the most is another system or systems of the same level of complexity, but more coherent. Interaction with such a system is probably the most efficient way to regain the state of balance – and the biggest gift from the Universe to its favorite children. They say, the biggest luxury in this world is the wealth of human communication. Is this ever true…

Thank you for listening. We are almost done. Now just imagine yourself venting to a friend after a stressful day; hugging your loved ones during moments of grief or happiness; holding your sick child… These are ‘systemic interactions’ in action. We instinctively seek connections with others to balance ourselves. Other systems become our mirrors and often a source of unconditional love, which is the most coherent state there is. (Pets and imaginary friends count J.) I call it Systemic Interactive Medicine and find it to be one of the most powerful medicines around.

This is the reason I do not favor dealing with chronic systemic disorders on your own. For effective healing, you need systemic interactions, and at least one of those should be an interaction with a knowledgeable practitioner, who addresses this natural process consciously, can regulate it and guide you on a healing path.

That's what happens during systemic interactions. When two living systems come in contact with each other, their energy and informational fields blend. The stronger system (the more coherent one) first mirrors the one in need (the one with ‘scrambled frequencies’), in order to blend completely - and then both systems act as one. The stronger system becomes sort of a 'tuning fork' for the weaker one, re-aligning and re-balancing its vibrations. Both systems together form a new functional union, qualitatively different from each of its parts, and this union thrives to regain the higher level of coherence. After this is achieved, systems disconnect – and each one now is more coherent than before the interaction (if you are a healer, you probably noticed that when you are feeling blue, the best remedy for you is to treat someone, right?).

SCENAR adds a whole new dimension to systemic interactions. Of course, due to its feedback feature, the SCENAR/COSMODIC, upon contact with the body, acts as a living system 'in its own right' and helps to balance the recipient's system as per the laws of systemic interactions. But over and above that, SCENAR (not so much COSMODIC) opens a freeway of communication and energy exchange between the client and the therapist, providing for the ‘healing trinity’.

SCENAR (the second zone SCENAR) is the ideal connector. It optimizes the energy and information exchange between the client and the therapist, helping to blend their energy fields. It is capable of turning anyone into a miracle worker by becoming an extension of the therapist’s hand and amplifying his/her powers as an energy healer. Many other healing practices rely on energo-informational exchange between two systems, but SCENAR provides for it far more efficiently.

COSMODIC is a bit of a different ‘animal’. It is a much more complex and self-sustained system than the first generation SCENARs and, as such, does not like any interference while in action. Every COSMODIC device contains a ‘mirror’ effect, which closes the energo-informational freeway. In my opinion, this is a very valuable feature, which gives the therapist freedom of choice. If you, as a therapist, feel imbalanced (and we all do once in a while), if you are tired, if it is your tenth client in one day, you don't have to engage your own weakening energy field in the treatment process, the device will do a good enough job. Yet, if you feel strong, you can always find other ways of connecting to the client's energy field and supplement the COSMODIC effects with your own healing powers.

I wrote this entire long ‘preamble’ in order to justify my recommendations for choosing a SCENAR device for use in professional practice. (Incidentally, I do not consider ‘the professional practice’ being limited only to the situations a practitioner gets paid for; to me, it is using one’s skills on a regular basis to help others, regardless of the form of remuneration, if any.). Our flowchart here branches again, posing the following question: are you planning on using the SCENAR technology as such – or the ‘applied SCENAR’?

SCENAR technology is a stand-alone practice, resting on a foundation of unique theoretical and methodological basis, with its own philosophy, concepts, vocabulary, techniques, laws and rules. It is actually a whole new science, which you need to learn in order to practice. The SCENAR device represents a technological tool that this new science uses, no more and no less.

The ‘applied SCENAR’ is using a SCENAR device as a tool in other established practices, according to the laws, rules, and techniques of those practices. For example, massaging with SCENAR, SCENAR acupressure, SCENAR su-jok etc. In this case practitioners do not necessarily follow SCENAR methodology and protocols, but do their own protocols using the SCENAR.

Practicing the SCENAR technology

First, for those who will be using SCENAR technology in its ‘pure form’; it may come as a surprise, but my recommendation for a future SCENAR therapist would be to acquire the first generation SCENAR first. A professional version, the one with ‘bells and whistles’ and the digital display with plenty of information; a nice RITMSCENAR, for example, or an Acuscen Pro. These devices, in order to be really effective in use, require understanding of the SCENAR philosophy and methodology. Therefore, they force the practitioner to learn – while COSMODIC opens a door for mental laziness. In the process of trying to make sense of all these figures on the screen, you will learn an awful lot about electricity, adaptive reactions, and SCENAR in general. Add to it the beautiful SCENAR philosophy of health and disease, the concept of small asymmetry, various techniques of working with the body in Subjective and Objective mode, and many other pearls of knowledge and wisdom, that I personally find invaluable for anyone planning to use SCENAR to help others. Even more, the principles of SCENAR therapy may be easily applied in many other healing disciplines, as they reflect universal laws of healing.

As an owner of the second zone SCENAR, you will have to learn it all in order for your device to show what it is capable of. You will have to practice often-complex techniques, learn and memorize protocols, be attentive to the body’s language, learn to interact with a client mentally and emotionally, turning even a simple questioning into a stand-alone therapeutic session helping the client to identify his main problem and focus systemic resources on dealing with it, and much more.

COSMODIC makes all of the above not so vitally important for achieving good results. With simplified to the extreme methodology (‘place the device somewhere in the area that bothers you, keep it there as long as you can – and do it as often as you can’), it does not give the practitioner a lot of motivation to study and practice, nor does it support any creativity in the treatment approach.

So, my repeated advice to a novice SCENAR therapist is: as your first SCENAR, get the first generation one, a professional version. It will be a wonderful introduction to the SCENAR world and good practice in Systemic Interactive Medicine, as you train yourself to dynamically work with the human system simultaneously on all levels and handle the powerful two-way transfer of energy and information between two systems without losing the state of coherency.

In fact, my practical observation is that majority of health practitioners in the beginning of their transformation into SCENAR therapists intuitively go for the second zone SCENAR, even if they have the freedom of choice among any make and model. After a while, though, holistic practitioners gravitate towards COSMODIC; mainstream ones (especially MDs) stay faithful to their solid, reliable, figure-displaying, impressive (like them) SCENAR. Somehow mainstream MDs and first generation SCENARs are a match… I guess the capricious and overly independent, mysterious COSMODIC is too ‘new-age’ for my logical science-prone colleagues J.

After you get familiar with SCENAR, you will fully appreciate COSMODIC. Get it as your second device – and enjoy the wealth of possibilities provided by the SCENAR-COSMODIC combination. For a practitioner, I strongly recommend to have devices representing both technologies.

SCENAR and COSMODIC approach the body differently, and the body may need one or the other, depending on the circumstances. For example, COSMODIC is wonderful in promoting healing of chronic disorders, but during initial stages of the healing process, when the body needs to deal with barriers of energy cysts, it is better to use SCENAR. SCENAR will do the job faster and more efficiently than COSMODIC, which is too delicate for ‘breaking walls’. However, later in the process COSMODIC will do more for recovery and regeneration than SCENAR will. In another example, take the ‘Little Wings’ – a wonderful and very popular SCENAR technique. I can hardly imagine doing it with COSMODIC; it feels almost like attempting to use a purebred horse for moving logs.

There is a time and place for everything (my son Denis would add, ‘and it’s called college’ J). SCENAR and COSMODIC are both important and both needed. That’s why Alexander Karasev is re-designing the 735Ag combining both technologies as practically two devices in one case. As we already know, this masterpiece of electronic engineering will identify which technology the body needs ‘here and now’ – and turn them on or off, whenever needed. The existing prototypes display an interesting character: first suggesting the right choice, then following the operator’s command for a while (even if the operator decided not to follow the suggestion) – and finally doing what needs to be done regardless of the operator.

According to the 735Ag prototypes, the body chooses SCENAR in 20-30% of the situations and asks for COSMODIC in 70-80%. Therefore, for maximum benefits of his/her clients a SCENAR therapist needs to have both technologies represented in their toolkit.

Our SCENAR therapists also recommend to always keep a few DOVEs on-hand in your SCENAR practice. They can be rented out (with the option to buy), used by your clients in the waiting room, or used yourself to supplement the SCENAR or COSMODIC session with an extra-device(s). Some of our practitioners have as many as 5 DOVEs on the same client at the same time, often as preparation for the main SCENAR session, and swear by the results (I cannot quite imagine a client simultaneously keeping 5 devices on the body, but lack of imagination should not stay in the way of progress, right?)

Practicing the ‘applied SCENAR’

My final recommendation is to those planning on using SCENAR as an addition to their own established practice – mainstream or alternative (the ‘applied SCENAR’). SCENAR is such a universal tool that it can enrich and transform pretty much any health practice or profession. There are a countless number of people who, against all odds, after SCENAR/COSMODIC therapy did not need surgery any more, or grew ‘new’ spinal discs, or healed without scars after stomach ulcers and severe heart attacks...

We often, jokingly, say that we have such high success rate with SCENAR/COSMODIC because we only take spontaneous healers as clients. Actually, this is true. Every one of us is a spontaneous healer; it is our nature. SCENAR just helps us to remember it.

So, if you want your practice to be full of spontaneous healers, get a SCENAR. Practitioners of ‘applied SCENAR’ typically want a SCENAR device that would make an immediate and substantial difference in their client’s condition; something simple, easy, and convenient to use that would not require much attention and would not demand a lot of training; something reliable and compliant. They want The DOVE.

Since the first day The DOVE was released into general practice, it proved itself to be a ‘best buy’ for any ‘applied SCENAR’ practitioner. Chiropractors, massage therapists, dentists, general surgeons, acupuncturists, naturopaths, even psychotherapists happily use The DOVE in the widest variety of situations. Combining a lot of the benefits of SCENAR and COSMODIC, it definitely fulfills the requirements of a device for an ‘applied SCENAR’ practitioner.

However, if not The DOVE, then the choice will depend a lot on the main practice of the SCENAR therapist, as well as on their individual preference. Chiropractors, surgeons, and massage therapists, for example, prefer first generation SCENARs; acupuncturists, naturopaths, and psychotherapists like COSMODIC etc. It does not really matter what make and model of the SCENAR device you will use as an addition to your practice (providing it is a true SCENAR/COSMODIC), because what you are actually adding is another system that will be working side-by-side with you on re-establishing the client’s coherency. Different SCENARs do it slightly differently, but it does not change the essential nature of the SCENAR/COSMODIC as your team-mate. Once you manage to find your SCENAR-match, you will be a winning team.

Actually, there is a fairly accurate and simple way of finding your SCENAR-match. Muscle testing. Of course, it requires on-hand access to several SCENAR/COSMODIC devices, but if you have that option, please do not forget about this simple age-old practice that proves to be useful in the widest variety of circumstances: from assessing the body’s condition to choosing a future partner.
