This site is under construction. I will be adding in videos and more explanations of the specific techniques of state restoration.
Natural State Restoration emerged from my early initiation in Ta Huna (mistakenly called Ka Huna) healing, my study into other aboriginal healing, and my research into the ideas of philosophers of the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries. They come together, oddly enough, in the absolute primacy of love and trust.
Our first moment on earth nature teaches us how to breathe, eat, sleep, wake, explore and trust.
Modern life sweeps away those signals. We tell each other to breathe deeply, but that serves only to light a fire in our brains. Our thoughts are perpetually out of control.
Likewise, we sweep aside food choices that are based on biological need in favour of choices dictated by corporations. We eat food that is nutrition free. I’m not saying never eat for fun; only do so relatively rarely. (I myself have a weight problem all my life and have lost 100 pounds in the 20 years practicing this method.)
Love, as the late bell hooks proposes, has been missing in our thinking and philosophy. Without using the word “love” Jurgen Habermas proposes that our emotional bonds to others constitutes the strongest social force.
When we consider love to be finite we make myriads of mistake in love’s name. If we think there is only a limited supply we cast others out of our lives as unworthy. We might even make love conditional. We think that love makes us vulnerable to being hurt.
In fact, being loving toward everyone helps us stay safe. If we act from love it becomes easy to determine who is safe and who is unsafe.
Being loving doesn’t mean we have to spend time with everyone. It is easier to lovingly explain that we don’t have time to spend with everyone. We have other people who take our time.
The idea of NSR is that we have healing abilities within us. We need to learn to listen to nature’s signal. We can find a deep sense of safety that is already there.
You will learn to find states of safety in order to fully feel all feeling.
NSR shows that all feelings, as soon as they are detached from our overactive brains, serve a valid purpose. They are all our best friends and allies and can help us live a full life.
Raising Children to be Aware of Inner States
We usually ignore or even put down our inner lives – who has heard a teacher tell a kid to quit daydreaming?
We can raise our children to be aware of and be able to discuss their inner lives. We can teach them how use the infinite resource inside all of us. We can soothe when we are upset, but we can also visualize a better world and find ways to make the world better.
By demonstrating our own ability to self-soothe and by naming the various states we can go to our children will be infinitely more resourceful. My own son knows how to achieve various states of calm and bliss that an older yogi would envy.
