Operation
Mastery,
is a non-medical, pilot program, designed to empower volunteer
participants to take control and become Master(s) over their
current, life-threatening health challenge(s), by being master(s)
of oneself – having self-control and being subject only to one’s
own highest wishes and desires, with freedom to act; living and
being the most healthy, loving, and empowering individual, on
purpose and by choice.
Operation Mastery
will provide a
combination of leading edge science, practical information, and
ancient wisdom plus time tested, easy to use techniques and
skills to assist the individual participants to know their own
highest choice(s) in any situation, to express their choice(s)
with ease and clarity, and to have full-body alignment
(physical, mental & emotional health) as their choice.
Operation Mastery is
designed for, 1) The individual with a life-threatening health
challenge(s) who has; A) Run out of traditional options, and/or
B) Has chosen to explore alternative, non-medical, non-invasive
natural options, 2) Anyone who desires to take an active role in
her/his life. Operation Mastery is a system designed to
help the participant(s) to cultivate a deep sense of inner
security and live a life filled with increased hope and
confidence.
Imagine installing on your inner
“heart drive” a new Conscious Human Operating System which keeps
you aware and awake to self-sabotage
before it can act.
Imagine a human computer virus checker which finds all those
pesky viruses and limiting beliefs, lies, doubts and
self-agreements with limitation and offers up each limitation to
your awareness for upgrading. This upgrade is Operation
Mastery.
Operation Mastery
gives you the tools to identify:
· What is your highest choice in any situation
· What are your heart’s desires – big and small
· What may be stopping you from receiving your heart’s desires
· How to align your head with your heart
· How to transform your feelings of anger, grief, pain or apathy
into forgiveness, joy and enthusiasm, and how to transform
your health challenge(s) into empowering memories of Mastery
Tools of Mastery:
Stress Management - Virtually everyone who works in
healthcare sees the impact of stress every day. It affects the
quality of care clinicians are able to deliver and creates
long-standing health issues for patients. The problem can seem
insurmountable. Fortunately, there are scientifically proven
tools, programs and technologies that can offer hope.
One such innovative program is HeartMath. HeartMath
has been recognized with awards from the American College of
Healthcare Executives and the American Institute of Stress,
because it is so powerfully effective in alleviating stress,
transforming health, performance, cognitive function and overall
well-being.
HeartMath programs are now being implemented in hundreds of
health care settings and clinics around the world. Thousands of
nurses, doctors, administrators, rehabilitation and recreational
therapists, psychologists, biofeedback practitioners and other
health professionals are now incorporating HeartMath tools and
technologies in both their personal and professional lives.
HeartMath is at the center, the very foundation of Operation
Mastery stress management program.
Exercise & Movement - Another tool and probably the
oldest know method for relieving stress in our bodies is
QiGong - Qigong is a 5000 year
old energy art form that strengthens the flow of life force thus
improving health. Its recent surge in popularity has been a
result of Qigong’s fun and dynamic movements of practice.
Magnetic energy fields are formed and created in a slow graceful
manner. The Qi (life force)
literally throbs and pulsates in your hands. Some say it’s the
most tangible experience of the spiritual life force energy. It
yields a strong “Qi Feeling” in
minutes.
Qigong harnesses the power of the
"Human Spirit" within us. This energy is without question our
most powerful resource for healing. Using specialized breathing
techniques and slow graceful movements we circulate the vital
energy within our body bringing blood and Qi to specific organs
and endocrine glands. The practice is lots of fun and easy to do
and learn! One can easily FEEL the energy pulsate in the hands
and arms during a session. With time, a warm pulsation is
noticed in the navel area and this becomes the storage center
for Qi. 200 million people
are practicing Qigong worldwide. The
benefits for practicing Qigong are endless.
Cleansing & Detox - The third method of stress release
use in Operation Mastery is Reflexology. Reflexology is a
popular alternative therapy. It promotes relaxation, improves
circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet, and encourages
overall healing. Reflexology is also used for post-operative or
palliative care. A study in the American Cancer Society journal
found that one-third of cancer patients used reflexology as a
complementary therapy.
Reflexology is the physical act of applying pressure to the
feet and hand with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques
without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of
zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the
feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical
change to the body.
There are many theories but in our approach we look at the
nervous system as the explanation of reflexology's working.
Pressure sensors in the feet and hands are a part of the body's
reflexive response that makes possible the "fight or flight"
reaction to danger. Feet ready to flee and hands ready to fight
communicate with the body's internal organs to make possible
wither eventuality. The sudden adrenal surge that enables a
person to lift a car is an example of this reaction. Reflexology
taps into this reflex network, providing an exercise of pressure
sensors and thus the internal organs to which they are
inextricably tied.
In general terms the benefits of reflexology have to do with
the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the
tension level for the rest of the body they are an easy way to
interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's
equilibrium.
Reflexology assessment takes place as stress cues are
evaluated. Stress cues are parts of the foot or hand that shows
adaptation to stress. Adaptation is shown by visual signs such
as callusing, knobby toes or bunion. Indications of stress are
also seen as sensitivity to technique application or touch signs
perceived by the reflexologist as technique is applied. The
assessment of such stress cues allows the reflexologist to
target areas of stress and to design a session of pressure
technique application appropriate to provide relaxation specific
to the individual.

introduced to TaiChi in 1972 when he suffered a severe football
injury in college. At that time he was told that he probably
“would never play football again and would never be able to walk
normally again”. Fortunately for George, he walked upon a
professor practicing TaiChi on the lawn at school; thus
beginning his life long practice and study of TaiChi and
Qigong.
