Natural Wellness Therapy

by Nod Ecar, Director of Natural Quest International

Meet Jill and Rod Slane, the founders of “The Life Group”, creators of Natural Wellness Therapy. This relatively new company based in Jupiter, Florida has a huge mission for which the Slanes are passionate. Their “mission” is to reduce the overwhelming stress that is such a debilitating force in our society. Their journey on this mission began with their own personal challenges related to coping with stress. The Slanes backgrounds are in music and film production. Despite building a very successful business in that field which afforded them a lavished lifestyle; they were not enjoying their lives. Coping with the stress of operating a successful business was becoming an unbearable challenge. So they set forth to develop a non-pharmacological way to reduce the negative effects of their own personal stress. Utilizing sound to initially create a relaxing atmosphere; the Slanes soon realized, they had developed a program that could be beneficial to many.

The Life Program is a unique vibrational therapy program that gently and safely uses sound vibrations to guide the brainwave patterns to levels of deep relaxation, meditation and even sleep. Basically, it is a fast and easy way to create harmonic balance leading the Mind to a desired level of activity. The Brain is susceptible and reacts physiologically different based on the vibrational speed of sound waves. The speed of sound waves is classified into four categories which include Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. They actually correspond to different levels of awareness, consciousness and physical reaction. More about this science, which has been studied since 1839, later. Back to the mission and where to begin the journey. Post Vietnam Era, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and now Iraq, more and more awareness has surfaced about a condition affecting our military heroes returning from combat known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Huge members of veterans are affected by PTSD rendering many highly dysfunctional. In the past therapy consisted of heavy medication and limited counseling, so the Slanes decided that is where they wanted to begin their mission to address the needs of our Combat Veterans . After much research and testing with their own team of medical advisors; they approached the physicians and psychologists at the Award Winning Miami VA Medical Center, named the top VA Hospital in the country the last four consecutive years. These physicians were extremely interested in a collaboration and embraced this alternative treatment with open arms. In that conventional methods were in-effective and we now have hundreds of thousands of veterans classified as mentally disabled by PTSD, they had genuine interest. That was the “Good News”, the bad news was there was no money in the budget to pay for “The Life Group Technologies and because of governmental bureaucracy; it might take up to several years to get funding. The Slanes were undaunted, they had already sold their expensive home and other assets to develop the technology, acquire very expensive equipment and fund the start up of a new company. Rather than slow down the process, they chose to donate the equipment and technology to the VA, so that thousands of veterans could begin to get well.

The program has proven to be immensely successful. It is not only the standard protocol for treatment at Miami VA but throughout the VA system as well. It has greatly reduced the need for prescription drugs and allowed many, many mentally and emotionally injured veterans return to normalcy. The Life Group now has substantial contracts with the Veterans Administration and with the Department of Army as well which has several different areas in which it will be testing benefits.

The next challenge the Slanes chose to pursue was with the National Mental Health Association which is now known as Mental Health America. This Not for Profit Organization which is funded up to 90% by the Pharmaceutical Industry had never -before endorsed treatment that was non-pharmaceutical. Once again the Slanes reached into their own pocket to provide physicians and psychiatrists across the country the opportunity to test the benefits of the programs. Today, the Life Program is the only non-pharmaceutical protocol supported by Mental Health America. Soon their over 300 regional affiliates will be utilizing the sale of these Natural Wellness Programs, which the Slane’s are providing basically at cost, to raise revenue to reduce their dependence on the Pharmaceutical Industry.

The Life Group has demonstrated a commitment to mental wellness and holistic wellbeing. They have developed programs that not only address stress, but also include programs designed to address other health issues including sleep deprivation, weight loss, enlightenment, smoking cessation and substance abuse. They are currently working on programs designed to address personal healing from illness, low self-esteem and forgiveness and personal empowerment. The Life Program is just what it suggests; a series of programs that help improve your life. It appears that Jill and Rod have just begun; they have a mission as well as a personal mandate to demonstrate compassion in making people’s lives better and providing holistic well-being.

Back briefly to the science of vibrational therapy; stress has a catastrophic effect on our sympathetic nervous system causing imbalance, disease and disharmony. The Life Programs enhance and heal our parasympathetic nervous system. When this system is activated, the body builds strong bones, increases muscle tissue and supports the immune system. It also provides access to those portions of the brain reserved for thought, reasoning, creativity and conscious awareness which are always diminished by stress.

Modern lifestyles constantly cause the sympathetic nervous system to over work which limits and restricts the parasympathetic response leading to our increased incidence of cancer, stroke, diabetes, auto-immune disease, metabolic diseases and a plethora of other disorders or illnesses. Although the common symptoms of stress such as sleep disorders, short tempers, weight gain or loss, a sense of being out of control, back and neck pain, worry and fear, low energy, lack of motivation and irritability are symptomatic of stress disorders. They can easily create larger health challenges if not addressed.

Now that I delivered the wake up call, I would like to go back to acknowledging the people who are committed to change.

I have known Jill and Rod for almost a year. I am in awe of their genius and conscious awareness that they have regarding serving others. Yes, they expect their company will make a lot of money but I do not believe that has been a motivating factor to them. They have a true desire to contribute to the process of “Conscious Evolution.” They are genuine, authentic and transparent. They demonstrate their values and commitment daily, to say that I am a big fan of theirs would be an understatement and I believe you will be one as well soon.

In closing, I want to share a story that still warms my heart and soul. The first time I visited the Slanes at their office also home, I met their son Hawk, a 5 year old Indigo Child, who had attached to his forehead his third eye pasted on. This enlightened little individual who somehow knew this was the portal of his 7 th Shakra and that he has access to creativity and enlightenment seemed as confident as the Dali Lama. This message is not about philosophical orientation or religion but rather understanding the Natural how. That we are all connected to an infinite source of power of intelligence, wisdom and awareness.

Hawk and his parents Jill and Rod demonstrate this infinite power and knowingness daily and I feel blessed that I know them.
