NOI group discussion lists was certainly the best place in the world until March 2004.

It reopenned in July with some royal colors but it sounds too serious now! :oops:

If there's any leadership on NOI I don't often see it. For all they say about being interested in sharing information or presenting some original thinking into the profession, the teachers regularly conducting courses for Butler rarely say anything without being paid for it.

What we see there is to be expected given that attitude, and I'm not interested in anybody telling me they "don't have time" to contribute in this way. That just implies that I just sit around all day, and that's not true.

I also watch a lot of TV.

I think one of the reasons that it has fallen by the wayside (again) is a lack of follow-through with replies. Several promising threads dissolve because responses are not forthcoming, and when they do arrive, there is not much in them, and the askers of questions get tired of a thread that moves like molasses.
It worked well, until the March 2004 crash.

I maintain hope that it will reinspire itself, renew itself somehow and go charging forth again. Meanwhile, everything has seasons.

I don't want to turn this into a 'pick on NOI' session because I think they have done some wonderful work, but I thought I'd share some of my experiences from a NOIgroup course I attended last weekend. It was Mobilisation of the Nervous system, level 1, taught by the Canadian instructors. This course is a prerequisite to seeing Butler himself speak later in the year. To me it was poorly done. The material was dumbed down. The instructors spoke to the wall rather than to the class. Their application of techniques was sloppy (compared to Shacklock). And after several hours of lecture on peripheral and central pain mechanisms, we were implored repeatedly not to become "neuro-heads." I suppose that for those completely new to the material it might have been interesting. I expected more.

An unfortunate experience. I hope you fed back to NOI and the instructors on these issues?

If you can, do the SNS with David. He makes it inspiring for his audience, cracks jokes and gets excited himself about cytokines, synapses and DRGs.

I think it must be difficult to standardise lecturers' abilities around the world.

Well, NOI is evolving.
They are discovering finally, breathing. :thumbs_up:thumbs_up

take a deep breath (http://www.noigroup.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=000598)

Here is a thumbnail of the underside of the diaphragm..I think it is clear visually how deep breathing would neuromodulate via the phenics back up to the cervical plexuses.. also, the mechanical stimulation of the viscera would surely please the vagus, send some important info up through it..
