OPTIMAL PRESENCE:
USING SOMATIC, COLOR & ENERGY PYSCHOLOGIES
TO ENHANCE LISTENING AND RELATIONALITY
   

Presented by: Brent M. Baum, STB, SSL, CADC, LISAC, CCH

Introduction and Overview of the Theme

Description: In this presentation, Brent Baum, a pioneer in the integration of Somatic,

Energy, and Color Psychologies, introduces us to breakthroughs that support the resolution of the
“trances” that remove us from “present-time awareness.” Stress and trauma initiate a self-
protective function that induces an altered state of consciousness or “trance.” These stress and
trauma-based states impair our capacity to attend to communication in the present moment,
restricting our capacity for optimal personal and professional relationships. Our personal and
professional lives improve as we become fully present to self and others. By emerging from our
"hourly" (15-50 times/hour) trances, we are no longer constrained by the false messages of the
past. Stress and trauma induce messages of powerlessness and shame which dominate our
psyche, usurping our ability to listen, dream and achieve what we intend. Intentionality is
sabotaged when the 95% subconscious mind is "hijacked" by trauma and abuse.

Learning to master these states of consciousness is believed by many to be the key to

optimal health and mindful living. The “holographic mind” holds the key to the mastery of our
states of consciousness. By accessing this wisdom, we “emotionally reframe” history itself,
reparent ourselves, backtrack and heal our pathology, move into more intuitive decision-making,
and attract intimacy and abundance. Holographic Memory Resolution® is a unique body-
centered, client centered approach that facilitates the mapping and resolution of a wide range of
memory-based pathologies including many types of migraines, chronic pain, anxiety disorders,
illness and trauma. Uniquely merging somatic psychology and energy psychology, HMR enables
the articulation and mapping of the etiology of memory-based illness and pathology, while
empowering the client and facilitating resolution at the moment of encoding, by-passing the need
for abreaction or re-live of the event. Targeting “T-1,” the precise moment of trauma encoding,
and utilizing a nervous system support technique that enhances sensory access to memory while
grounding the client, HMR has been identified by leading addictionologists as one of the most
powerful and effective relapse prevention tools available today. HMR revolutionizes the
psychopathology model and medical model by enabling the client’s own bodymind to map the
precise etiology and path to resolution of memory-based pathology.

This workshop offers instruction in the dynamics of trauma resolution, based on

breakthroughs in the fields of somatic psychology and energy psychology. Based on methods
successfully employed with over 20,000 trauma survivors, Brent Baum, developer of
“Holographic Memory Resolution®,” demonstrates the interrelationships between hologram
theory, body-centered therapy, somatic psychology, energy psychology and color psychology.

The emotional reframing of state-bound memory using ‘HMR’ enables the discharge of the
affect of encoded memory without abreaction (re-live) or impacting historical memory. Utilizing
a verbal and energetically induced Alpha-Theta brainwave state, a trauma survivor can learn to
master his/her states of consciousness in assist in the resolution of PTSD and other trauma-
related symptoms. In this presentation we apply this new paradigm of treatment to the obstacles
created by trauma which impact our health, metabolism, pain levels, concentration, and
relationships (both personal and professional).

Historical Development of HMR:

Addictionology: Alcoholism = Disease (1950’s). The realization that there is a disease that
diminishes “will-power.” The breakdown of the “moral failure” model. The opening for
a new paradigm of healing/treatment to emerge.

Family Systems Theory, Co-addiction (1960’s). The pathology was found to extend beyond
the addict to the family system. Systems Theory develops.

Subconscious Roles, Adlerian Psychology, ACOA’s (1970’s). Ordinal Position and

Subconscious Role Assignments were found to be major influences in the dynamics of
dysfunctional families.

“Codependency” & Emotional Repression (1980’s). When the individual’s needs were not
met in the dysfunctional system, they appeared to remain “stuck” – in an arrested state of
development: continuing to look outward for their needs to be met. This appeared true of
any system with significant emotional repression, not just the alcoholic system.

“Backtracking” and Relapse Prevention (1990’s). Treatment centers began to focus on the
impact of memory triggers and the stages of “relapse” that begin long before the actual
ingestion of the addictive substance.

Trauma Resolution: (2000’s): (The Realization that “Codependency is the Child of Trauma.”
That which most commonly arrests our development is our natural protective response to
physical or emotional overwhelm: i.e. the trauma-induction mechanism.

Somatic Psychology, Energy Psychology, and Color Psychology (2010+): Integrating the
principles of both Somatic, or Body-Centered Psychology and Energy Psychology.

Influences Contributing to the Development of HMR:

Sigmund Freud: If an event exercises a “determining quality” or a “traumatic power” over your
life, you must understand it. Used “massage” to help clients break through the amnesial
barrier. Used archaeology as a metaphor for the subconscious.

Milton Erickson & David Cheek (his protégé). Father of modern hypnotherapy. Emphasized
the power of “trance.” Sought a ‘body component’ that would accelerate and ease access
to trance as referenced by Dr. Mariko Tanaka at San Francisco State. David Cheek:
Power of stress and trance.

David Grove: A psychologist from New Zealand. He developed a verbal tracking method for
somatic metaphors and coined the term: “T-1.” Metaphor therapy.

 
 4  
 

Transactional Analysis. A therapeutic modality that contributed to our understanding of

dialogue between the “parent, adult, and child” developmental parts of self. Enlisted in
addictions treatment.

Addictionology: Taught us about “disease” and the diminution of will-power; gave us

understanding of the systems influence of alcoholism and the 12-Step and Adult Children
of Alcoholics (ACOA) treatment approaches.

Family Systems Theory: Roberto Assagioli, Richard Schwartz, “Parts Therapy” and the
Understanding of Holographic Imprinting of Worth/Trauma

Object Relations Theory. Revealed the importance of “mirroring” and our early imprinting.
The “good enough” parent.

Karl Pribram. One of the world’s leading Neurophysiologists, Pribram stated that memory is
stored in the body in a “hologram-like” manner. The term he used for this form of
memory is “Holonomic” – meaning that memory in the body-mind take the basic form
and follows the basic principles of a hologram, but is not stored equally throughout the
system, as in the case of the hologram in physics.

Quantum Physics: Research in the field of Quantum Physics suggests that the act of perception
is not passive, but creative. Consciousness profoundly influences the world around us and
contributes to the manner in which we imprint our life experiences.

Remote Sensing Technology. NASA’s research and use of “multi-spectral scanners” in

archaeology influenced the thinking that led to the “emotional reframing” concept and the
use of personal color/frequency to complete the charge of memory. An individual’s
perceptive process and imaging are unique. Just as the spectral signature at the moment
of freezing is unique, so are the solution-frequencies used to complete the ‘emotional
charge’ at T-1 unique as well.

“Color Anchoring” – “Brain-Gym” Technique. “Brain-Gym” – a “right-left brain” balancing

technique also utilized “color reframing” as part of the anchoring process in their
methodology. Our application of color with HMR is personalized to the scene and used
as a holographic signal for reprogramming the cells and fields of the body.

Gestalt Therapy: Taught us the power of creative visualization and the “Level 2” techniques for
engaging the subconscious mind in order to release stored affect.

Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse: Influential in the design of the early chemical dependency

treatment programs and “family of origin” treatment process for inpatient and outpatient
programs.

The Paradigm Shift: The “Integrative Consciousness Model ©”

(Copyright© 2007 Healing Dimensions ACC)

Somatic Psychology and the Mechanisms of Trauma Induction:

A Trauma Is:

A trance, a spontaneous state of self-hypnosis, an altered state which encodes state-bound

problems and symptoms (Cheek, 1981). This process is facilitated by the Limbic-
Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis (cf. Diagram of Rossi & Cheek). When the act of
perception approaches physical or emotional overwhelm, consciousness itself is paused at
a millisecond prior to the most traumatic moment at an instant we now call “T-1” (a term
introduced by David Grove); this process is subconscious, automatic, and pre-moral in its
occurrence. Psychological shocks and traumatic events are psycho-neuro-physiological
dissociations and often result in “traumatic amnesia” or “delayed recall.” This amnesia
may be resolved by “inner resynthesis” in hypnotherapy (Erickson, 1948/1980). The
emotional charge and accompanying pain of the original trance state is usually released
when the scene is affectively reframed and restored to the flow of consciousness.

Interdisciplinary Understanding of Trauma:

Trance State Altered State of Consciousness

Spontaneous State of Self-Hypnosis Static or “Frozen” Scene
Hologram “Holonomic” Encoding in the Physical Body
“T-1” Scene Psycho-Neuro-Physiological Dissociation
Subconscious and Automatic process “Pre-Moral” Response to State of Overwhelm
“State-Bound” Memory Boundary Violation
“Shame” Experience (G. Kaufmann) Alienation of the self from the self
Outdated “Illusion/Delusion” as Regards Present
Limbic-Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal System Response
Fight/Flight/Freeze response
Act of quantum perception

The Five Holographic Stages of Esteem/Shame Induction:

1. Externally Induced: Must first be introduced from outside the self! Shame/trauma
always originate outside the psyche.

2. Internalized: Through repetition, the message becomes internalized. Ongoing imprinting

results in the maintenance and storage of the trauma content within the system.

3. Autonomous: With ongoing reinforcement, the message begins to operate

independently, without outside stimulus. The message no longer requires an external
trigger to be active.

4. Identification with the Affect: With continuous exposure, the individual identifies itself
with the affect. The trauma perceptions dominate the psyche leading to a normative
perception of shame within the individual.

5. Spiral: Given the holonomic nature of memory, the smallest trigger resurrects the whole
encoded affect. As the fragment of the hologram provides access to the whole, a resonant
‘trigger’ activates what is already stored in the bodymind.

These five stages reflect the holographic nature of consciousness and imprinting. These
five stage remain the same, whether the “mirroring” is of a positive or negative nature.
On the ‘negative’ side, they also correspond to the progression of trauma along the
Trauma Continuum seen below. Level 1 trauma induces an “ego-state” or millisecond of
trauma encoding. Level 2 reflects an archetypal trauma that begins to transcend any
single moment of encoding. “Parts” and “Sub-personalities” develop in response to
additional internalization and encoding. Dissociative “Parts” on the level of identity
result in “Dissociative Identity Disorder,” formerly known as “Multiple Personality
Disorder.”

The Three Levels of the Trauma Continuum: (As Shame/Trauma is Induced)

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

Presents as:
Single Multi- Repeated Cultural Chronic Depress., Incest Dissociative D/O
Scene Scene Trauma Trauma Eating D/O MPD/DID/Psychosis
Domestic Violence, Addictions Drug-Induced Psychosis
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
Simple Multiple Sub- Complex Trauma Patterns Layered Memory Complexes
Scene Memories Memories Archetypal Imprints Memories “Cult Successes”
“Ego State” “Sub-Personality”/ “Part(s)” “Personality(ies)”/ “Parts”
ANP/(1)Emotional Part 1 ANP/(2+) EP’s (2+)ANP/(2+)EP’s
(ANP= Apparently Normal Part; EP=Emotional Part in the language of structural dissociation)

The 3 Levels of Trauma Induction:

Level I: Single Scene Trauma; Multiple Memories, Simple Sequences, Sub-memories

Level II: “Layered” Memory Sequences, Subconsciously Associated Patterns, Complex
Memory Sequences, “Archetypal Trauma, Cultural Trauma, Belief System
Contamination, Subpersonalities, Addictions
Level III: Dissociative Disorders, MPD/DID, “Cult Successes,” Contamination to the
Core Belief System, Trauma-Induced Psychosis

Key Concept of Encoding: “T-1” Concept of David Grove

Importance of identification of the specific moment of encoding

Research of David Grove: his term = “T-1” (Pronounced: “T minus One”)
Studies of PTSD and Veterans (encoding occurs at the millisecond prior to overwhelm).
Not every scene of a traumatic event is encoded equally.
More than one “T-1” scene can be stored in an event sequence. (Ex: “Desert Rape Case”)
Shift in the psychopathology model, in targeting resolution of memory-based pathology

Lessons of Somatic Psychology:

Mechanism of Trauma Induction: Brain as Processor/Bodymind as Hard Drive with

1000 neurons/square inch.
Stomach/gut plexus – more neurons than entire spinal column; Heart = 50 times
stronger than the brain
Site-specific/“iconic” nature of memory encoding: “holographic metaphors” – D. Grove

 
 8  
 

The Psychosomatic Network:

The diagram below shows the “Fight-flight-freeze response” of the Limbic-

Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis. This system activates, not only in response to
trauma, but to stress as well –depending on the degree of boundary health of the specific
individual.

When stress and trauma induce the overproduction of adrenaline, the thymus-cell
(T-Cell) production decreases, thereby impacting the immune system. This reflects the
“fight-flight-freeze” response of the Limbic-Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis. This
process has been “mapped” down to the cellular, genetic, molecular level and can be
viewed in “Mind-Body Therapy” by Ernest Rossi and David Cheek.

The Holographic or “Holonomic” Nature of Memory:

v All memory, positive or negative, is stored in ‘holographic’ manner

v Power of “mirroring” and perception: Perception is a creative act!
“Object Relations Theory” termed the imprinting process ‘mirroring’.
v The Holographic/Holonomic nature of memory: In the physical body, memory is
stored in a holographic manner, but more site-specifically – hence the term: “Holonomic”
– which means “following the ‘law’ (nomos in Greek) of a hologram, but not equally
stored throughout the system
v Our capacity to pause our holographic projection system during stress or trauma
v A Hologram is created by splitting light into a Reference Beam and an Object Beam.
v Memory in the bodymind is encoded ‘holonomically’ – i.e. in a hologram-like manner.

The Holographic Key:

A fragment of the scene can be used to contain and store the whole. The hologram is
created by splitting light into 2 beams: a “reference beam” and an “object beam.” Where these
beams intersect at the “holographic plate,” a three dimensional image is created. The human
nervous system operates in a similar manner. Consciousness itself may possess holographic
properties. Cf. The Holographic Universe, by Michael Talbot.

The Energy Application: Enhanced Access to the Data of Memory:

The “T-1” concept and the holonomic nature of memory enable “emotional reframing.”
In 1994, Brent Baum discovered that an application of electromagnetic energy through the hand
at or near C-7 on the spine of the client resulted in greatly enhanced access to memory, while
grounding the client and preventing abreaction or re-live of traumatic memory. In subsequent
bio-feedback measurements, it was found that this induced an Alpha-Theta state which provided
calm and established an ‘observer’ stance, while permitting enhanced access for the reframing of
the emotional charge of memory. C-7 facilitates the processing of “sensation, perception and
emotion” – the three sources of traumatic imprinting. With HMR, enhanced visual and sensory
access to memory through the “dorsal horn” of the spine occurs. When the facilitator’s hands are
positioned over C-7 and over the specific site of memory encoding (the holographic metaphor),
memory access and resolution are greatly improved. Positioning the hands over these two sites
helps to produce an alpha-theta brainwave state that facilitates memory access while producing
calm and relaxation – thereby preventing abreaction or re-live of T-1.This enables the resolution
of memory triggers earlier in the treatment process, providing greater stability and reducing the
likelihood of relapse.

Emotional Reframing and the Power of Quantum Perception:

Importance of Mastering our States of Consciousness: Present-Time Living

We ‘trance’ 15-50 times per hour, moving in and out of present-time awareness.
Conscious mind = 5%; Subconscious mind = 95%
Goal: transmit the signal of safety from the 5% to the 95% to prove T-1 resolved.

Color and Brainwave Frequency: Reprogramming the Subconscious

Emotional reframing and color perception.

Color as our first language: brainwave frequency.
Art therapy: children depict trauma in red & black; they reframe with colors of safety.
Lessons of remote sensing technology:
Every moment of consciousness has a unique spectral signature.
Trauma is stored automatically and subconsciously during overwhelm.
By transmitting “proof of safety,” the subconscious releases its protective hold.
Goal of emotional reframing: Complete the affective charge of the scene at T-1.
Neutralize the emotional frame/charge of the stored scene.
Mechanism: Color (or other channel) to holographically transmit the message of safety.
Transmission of the corrective message must also be specific to the site/locus of encoding
Resolution of the state bound memory by proving safety to the 95% subconscious.
By-product: resolution of the physiology of the state-bound memory.
Remaining: any damage to the system incurred from trauma/prolonged exposure.

Somatic Cueing:

Memory is stored in both the cells and meridians of the bodymind. Since memory is
“holonomic” in nature (Karl Pribram’s term) and can be stored site-specifically,
the “locus” of storage carries a value and may suggest the nature or source of the
traumatic imprint. Oriental medicine mapped many of these patterns long ago.

The diagrams which follow are the result of observing the site-specificity of over 100,000
memories. Studies in neurology indicate the relative right and left brain functions
and their respective influences on the right and left sides of the body. From my
own work with over 16,000 trauma survivors, I have also noticed repetitive
patterns over two discernable “heart meridians” which reflect “relationship
history.” I have included this diagram as well. Note, however, that there are
exceptions to all of these probabilities, and they are not to be to be taken as
absolute. A dominant, more aggressive mom, for instance, might appear on the
right side of the body and heart, following the more masculine aggressive line
traditionally assigned to the male.

The diagrams on this page are the result of

observing over 100,000 memory imprints in the
bodymind. During reframing, certain sites were
identified which evidenced patterns of encoding
and suggest correlations with the site-value
within the client’s own physiology and history.
These observations represent probabilities and
can all meet with exception.

Overview of Level 1 and 2 Interventions:

Level 1 Verbal Interventions: (For a single T-1 event/moment of encoding)

Important: Voice Modulation, Accurate Mirroring, and Recapitulation (bridging mechanism)

Metaphor Definition Stage: Somatic Tracking

“Inside/Outside, Shape, Size, Color, Weight, Temperature, Texture … Anything else?”

Age Regression Questioning:

“How young might you be when you first feel a ….?”
“Can you see where you are when you first feel a ?”

“What happens next?” (Continue this questioning until the peak feeling moment: “T-1” is
reached. T-1 is the specific moment of encoding, as identified by David Grove.)

Solution: “If the adult you could go back and change this scene … what would you like to
change/see happen?”

Enacting the Solution: “Take all the time that you need to picture this…”

Reframe and Anchoring: “When you have the picture the way you want it, frame it in the
material, color or colors that come to you … Can you see what color(s) the frame is?

“Move the colors through your body, especially through your … where you first felt the
(metaphor) pain/sensation.”

Level 2 Verbal Interventions: (For a repetitive pattern of trauma/abuse)

(Note: At the Age Regression question above, the answer that indicates “Level 2” is:
“Always, many ages, whole childhood, etc.”)

The Key Stages of Level 2 Interventions Are:

• Externalize the Affect
• Disperse to Causes/Sources/Perpetrators
• Observe Reduction in Size of Affect/Content – More Manageable
• Create Safety for Related Ego-States/Sub-personalities
• Move Replacement, Solution Colors through the Body.

Other Level 2 exercises that were developed and integrated into HMR include: Medicine Wheel,
Healing Circle, Re-parenting Exercise, the Conference Room or Round Table (for addressing
multiple parts/relationships that occur during reframing), and Integration Exercise.

PRINCIPLES FOR MAINTAINING HEALHTY RELATIONSHIPS:

By: Brent M. Baum, STB, SSL, CADC, LISAC, CCH
Among the basic principles to be aware of with respect to relationships and the impact of
trauma are the following:
1. Emotional reframing must be an ongoing discipline or practice during a relationship, or
the holographic nature of memory will guarantee growing resentment or dissatisfaction in
areas repeatedly triggered. The source of the tension may even be indirect or secondary
trauma exposure from the outside (as with in-laws, for example) but it will still impact
the relationship.
2. Moments of emotional overwhelm lock in the pain and powerlessness of the moment and
distort or divert the bonding potential of a relationship. Addictions and mental illness are
experiences of Powerlessness in the bodymind that profoundly affect our relationships. I
was told in ministry training that a majority of marriage problems would prove to be
alcohol or drug related. These are “Level Two” patterns of trauma that undermine
intentionality.
3. Both external and internal trauma sources can impair communication in a relationship,
for when we are distracted from and lose touch with ourselves, we lose touch with our
“authentic self” and perceive from the distortion of the trauma-induced ego.
4. Growth in a relationship slows in proportion to the trauma induced and the time spent in
the physiology and feelings of the past. During the relationship, partners of individuals
who experienced physical or sexual abuse need to be informed of the potential for their
companion’s trance-based relive of the abuse and the impact that this may have on
intimacy.
5. The unconscious sabotage of a relationship initially arises from the ninety-five percent
subconscious mind transmitting its own wounded definition of “love” as imprinted before
the age of five. These early imprints form the foundation of our later attractions. (See
the Heart Meridians in Chapter 11).
6. What we unconsciously imprinted in imitation of mom and dad becomes the foundation
of our self-talk, self-worth, and comfort with social interaction. This necessitates the
“reparenting” of our childhood with our needs met in a healthy manner. (Reparenting
exercise in the following chapter).
7. While they remain unresolved, shame, fear, and anger from past relationships leave us
with divided mind and intentionality, compromising the quality of our current
commitments.
8. Intimacy in a relationship is conditioned by our own comfort with our bodies and the
clarity of the somatic “hard drive” where our memories are imprinted. Discomfort with
our body forms a significant portion of our relational dissonance. Breakthroughs in
Somatic Psychology have given us a lead on this, for we now know that shame can be
encoded in any part of the body: we have neurons which store memory in every part of
the bodymind.

Biographical and Contact Information:

Brent Baum has served as a Catholic priest, an archaeologist in the Near East, and is a
Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. He is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and is the
former clinical director and developer of the trauma program at Cottonwood Treatment Centers
in New Mexico and Arizona. His work with over 20,000 trauma survivors led to the
development of “Holographic Memory Resolution®,” a new body-centered, client-centered
emotional reframing technique for resolving trauma and memory-based pathology. He is the
author of “The Healing Dimensions: Resolving Trauma in Body, Mind and Spirit,” “Living as
Light: The Awakening of Mystical Consciousness,” and “Surviving Trauma School Earth.” His
pioneering work integrating spirituality, traumatology and addictionology led to his involvement
with survivors and rescue personnel from the Oklahoma City Bombing, TWA Flight 800, and 9-
11-01 and with trauma therapists in Sendai, Japan, prior to the recent earthquake and tsunami.

Holographic Memory Resolution® is a unique body-centered, client centered approach

that facilitates the mapping and resolution of a wide range of memory-based pathologies
including many types of migraines, chronic pain, anxiety disorders, illness and trauma. Uniquely
merging somatic psychology and energy psychology, HMR enables the articulation and mapping
of the etiology of memory-based illness and pathology, while empowering the client and
facilitating resolution at the moment of encoding, by-passing the need for abreaction or re-live of
the event. Targeting “T-1,” the precise moment of trauma encoding, and utilizing a nervous
system support technique that enhances sensory access to memory while grounding the client,
HMR has been identified by leading addictionologists as one of the most powerful and effective
relapse prevention tools available today. HMR revolutionizes the psychopathology model and
medical model by enabling the client’s own bodymind to map the precise etiology and path to
resolution of memory-based pathology.
