Combatives and NLP- sound therapist and holistic psychologist Jeff Moran gives his perspective

http://www.streetfightsecrets.com/79.html
Whilst not a martial arts instructor alternative therapist and teacher Jeff Moran has had a big influence on my work, introducing me to many new concepts and ideas such as living in the Now, Eckhart Tolle, the power of sound, cymatics and some fascinating elements of New Age spirituality rooted in a practical approach to psychotherapy and counselling like transactional analysis and inner child work. It was Jeff who trained me to deliver seminars on motivation, memory and communication in schools across the UK. Under his tutelage I went from being a Taxi Driver to being a key note speaker at the Annual Education Conference alongside people like Tony Buzan. When it comes to holistic psychology, working with children or difficult clients, alternative therapies and emotional healing alongside the missing link of modern day self protection, self assertiveness training, Jeff is the dude.
This hour long chat came from a desire to promote two simple products of Jeffs, whose main passions are Sound and Cymatics- and the way different Sounds affect the brain and body. The two Sound products of Jeffs that I thought would be useful to martial arts students are his RelaxationCD- slowing the brain waves down, an EXCELLENT tool to just switch off and unwind and his Optimum Performance CD- designed using state of the art brainwave altering sound technology to organically speed up brain wave patterns over a 50 minute period to increase reaction time and improve reflexes. Both these CDs are up on the website http://www.streetfightsecrets.com/79.html Jeff has been good enough to offer us them at half price.
During this chat we learnt that both of us had trained under Aikido instructor and Spiritual guide Terry Ezra- for very different reasons but with similar results. I respect anyone who will pursue an obsession wherever it takes them and puts the good of others before personal gain.
So much of combatives and self protection and the material I have produced so far are focussed on the capacity to deliver destruction, I even have materials training you in how to deliver this destruction at a psychological and emotional level, and I think Jeff provides a good balance.
Jeff isnt a martial artist, but I think you will notice on these video clips he has that air about him that a lot of martial arts instructors have- and having seen him handle a roomful of rowdy 16 year olds I think I know where that comes from!
His views and opinions on my questions related to combatives are natural and off the cuff and some of them cut to the core of the issues very quickly. Its a breath of fresh air to talk to somebody outside our community who has no prior knowledge and no political affiliations.
Anyway, its an hour long chat so I hope you get the time to go through it, its worth it even if you only catch a bit of the flavour of what Jeff is drifting. This isnt namby pamby New Age posturing for bored middle class housewives this is rooted in direct, powerful technique to manifest change.
So if you have ever sought to actually model what I do instead of just following what I teach, you really should leap at this opportunity to listen to a person who I consider to be one of the biggest influences on my approach to the martial arts, teaching and life.

Isha Rejuvenation is an initiative designed by Sadhguru to allow an individual to experience inner peace and the joy of a healthy body.

Isha Rejuvenation offers a unique and powerful combination of programs, carefully tailored and sequenced to bring vibrancy and proper balance to one's life energies. This balance is crucial for healthy living as well as for preventing and uprooting chronic ailments.

Apart from infectious diseases or genetic abnormalities, the most common reason for ill health today is stress. The fast pace of modern living keeps us in fight or flight mode all the time. Constant exposure to the hazards of modern life - food and environmental toxins, loud noise, electromagnetic radiation, etc. - can predispose us towards chronic, degenerative, and non-specific diseases. If left unattended, these can evolve into serious ailments that could permanently damage health and well being.

Isha Rejuvenation programs involve powerful processes aimed at bringing vibrancy and proper balance to the life energies that are crucial for uprooting or preventing chronic ailments. Scientifically structured, the programs uniquely combine allopathic, alternative & complementary therapies with the sublime wisdom of various ancient Indian medicinal practices.

Programs such as Ayur Rasayana Intensive, Ayur Sampoorna and Yoga Marga contain a synthesis of yogic methods and practices, diet, massage, therapeutic baths and wraps, rejuvenation tonics and Siddha medicines (a form of traditional medicines older than Ayurveda), as well as specialized alternative medicines (if prescribed by a doctor) and other program-specific methods.

The love and care with which the Isha Rejuvenation volunteers see to all the needs of the participants greatly enhances the rejuvenation process.

From the moment you arrive in the beautiful surroundings of the sacred Velliangiri Hills your rejuvenation begins. The serene atmosphere of the Isha yoga center and Dhyanalinga meditation shrine has profound healing affects. Come - relax, renew, revive and rejuvenate.

Contributed by: (http://www.india-herbs.com):

Considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science, Ayurveda is a holistic approach to health that is designed to help people live long, healthy, and well-balanced lives. The term Ayurveda is taken from the Sanskrit words ayus, meaning life or lifespan, and veda, meaning knowledge. It has been practiced in India for at least 5,000 years and has only recently became popular in Western cultures. The "contemporary" form of Ayurvedic medicine is mostly derived from several sacred Indian texts which were written in Sanskrit between 1500 BC and 400 AD. The basic principle of Ayurveda is to prevent illness by maintaining balance in the body, mind, and consciousness through proper drinking, diet, and lifestyle, as well as herbal remedies.

There are two main types of Ayurveda: traditional and Maharishi. The latter is a version of traditional Ayurveda based on translations from the classical texts by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Both types of Ayurvedic practitioners prescribe herbs, believe that disease results from an imbalance in the doshas (see below), and use many of the same remedies for treating illness. Maharishi Ayurveda, however, stresses the role of supreme consciousness in maintaining good health, and promotes Transcendental Meditation (TM) as a method for experiencing the pure consciousness of the universe. Maharishi Ayurveda also highlights the need to express positive emotions and to attune your life to the natural rhythms of the body.

How does it work?

Just as everyone has a unique thumbprint, according to Ayurvedic beliefs, each person has a distinct pattern of energy -- a specific combination of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics. It is also believed that there are three basic energy types called doshas, present in every person:

Vata -- energy that regulates bodily functions associated with motion including blood circulation, breathing, blinking, and the beating of the heart. When vata energy is balanced, there is creativity and vitality. Out of balance, vata produces fear and anxiety.
Pitta -- energy that governs the body's metabolic systems including digestion, absorption, nutrition, and body temperature. In balance, pitta promotes contentment and intelligence. Out of balance, pitta can cause ulcers and arouse anger.
Kapha -- energy that controls growth in the body. It supplies water to all body parts, moisturizes the skin, and maintains the immune system. In balance, kapha is expressed as love and forgiveness. Out of balance, kapha leads to insecurity and envy.
All people have vata, pitta, and kapha, but usually one or two are dominant in a given individual. Many factors can disturb the dosha balance such as stress, an unhealthy diet, the weather, and strained family relationships. Such disturbance is expressed in the body as disease. Ayurvedic practitioners prescribe treatments designed to bring the doshas back into balance.

From a Western medical perspective, relief of stress appears to be one of the ways that Ayurveda works to help fight illness. For example, studies have found that Transcendental Meditation, a component of Maharishi Ayurveda, reduces anxiety. Other studies have found that Ayurveda lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, slows the aging process, and speeds recovery from illness. The herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine often have antioxidant effects, which means that they may help protect against the damage from free radicals (by-products of normal metabolism in the body) like long term illnesses such as heart disease and arthritis. Many Ayurvedic practitioners also recommend a vegetarian diet, which is believed to be better for your heart than diets containing red meat.

What should I expect from an Ayurvedic treatment?

Ayurvedic treatment focuses on rebalancing the doshas . On your first visit, the practitioner will take a detailed medical history, check your pulse, palpate your abdomen, examine your tongue, eyes, nails, and skin, and listen to the tone of your voice. He or she will also ask you questions about your general state of health with special focus on your lifestyle, diet, habits, and environmental surroundings. Based on this assessment, he or she will then make recommendations on how to restore your natural dosha balance, which almost always includes changes in lifestyle, particular diet. Practitioners draw from more than 20 types of treatment, but the most commonly prescribed include:
