Joy Touch
Joy Touch
Joy Touch is a meditation/healing technique developed by brain scientist Pete Sanders. Sanders graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the mid-1970s with majors in medical chemistry and brain science. He turned down the opportunity to attend Harvard Medical School to engage in independent research in mind-body potentials. In 1980 he settled in Sedona, Arizona, and opened Free Soul Mind Body Education. Drawing on his knowledge of the brain, he searched for ways to tap what he saw as the unlimited potential of the individual. He explored and taught a wide variety of healing techniques, including various means of cardiovascular stress reduction, and access to the body's psychic reception areas and what he termed "energy blending" for gaining a sense of oneness with the soul and beyond. He summarized these discoveries in a first book, You Are Psychic! (1990).
Beginning in the late 1980s, he turned his attention to solving the problem of emotional stress and its role in reducing human happiness. He discovered a meditation method for directly stimulating what he terms the body's joy center.
The joy touch technique leads to what Sanders believes is a mental "triggering [of] the septal nuclei of the septum pellucidum area of the brain." For the person performing the operation, it is quite simple and draws on familiar biofeedback processes.
Sanders may be contacted at his center, Free Soul, at P.O. Box 1762, Sedona, AZ 86339. His Internet site is located at http://www.freesoul.net/. The center has been located in Sedona to make use of the stimulation for successful meditation provided by the psychic vortexes believed to be located there. Sanders publishes the various techniques he uses in his books, but invites people to his center to experience them in the context of the vortexes. He also trains others who wish to teach them.
