The loving work of Lynette Louise is discussed in this article. Lynette is an author of two books, "The Wingmaker" and "Miracles are Made." Lynette is a healer and counselor of families dealing with members on the Autism spectrum, or other debilitating childhood conditions. Her work is a beautiful heart mending blend of personal caring and love as well as using techniques of high technology such as biofeedback

"Well, the heart calls, and the mind obeys."  -Lose Again by Songwriter Karla Bonoff

In one of the playful dialogues in mathematician Rudy Rucker's book, The Fourth Dimension: A Guided Tour to Higher Dimensions, it is stated, "Mind is everywhere and you have no mind at all."  This entire world, including the house of the world that we call the universe, is mind. It is also life, light, and love.

Since intelligence is non-local, there is as much in the heart as there is in the head.  Indeed, Episcopalian Priest, Cynthia Bourgeault, says the essential Christian Wisdom Teachings believe the heart is an organ of spiritual perception.  This tradition is way beyond the brain-centered intelligence of most churches, in which dogma filled head teachings are the rule of thumb.  In this sense, dogma is "ideal-istic" and very limiting.  Yet, as Goethe sang, "Give them the stone of Sophia (Wisdom) and you'll find philosophy gone.  And what's left?  The Stone!"  (The stone in this case being the goal of the alchemists.)

Wisdom according to Goethe is more heart-based than head-based.

What are some of the elements of heart intelligence?  Obviously, we would pick out traits such as compassion, deep feeling, intuition, love, a sense of connection, and a sense of unity.  Perhaps you can associate heart intelligence with other values as well.

It is interesting that the heart is situated a little left of center in the chest.  This may be why what we call the "left wing" in politics are the ones more open to taking care of people medically, socially, and even ecologically.  They have more heart, more caring, a deeper sense of relationship.  Interestingly, in the brain, the left side interacts with the right side of the body while the right side of the brain interacts primarily with the body's left.   Both "sides" must balance to have the full brain function necessary to a comprehensive life.

As Dylan sings in his "Desolation Row", "I become my enemy in the instant that I preached."  This is counter to heart intelligence, which unites rather than divides.  Those with more heart are much more likely to embrace the world and, thus, understand its holistic rather than linear nature.  Their brains are richer for the hearts that guide them. Indeed, they are more likely to embrace the opposites than raise war against them.

One actual person who is saturated with Heart Intelligence is Lynette Louise, author of The WingMaker and Miracles are Made.  Lynette is a healer, and counselor of families dealing with members on the Autism spectrum, or other debilitating childhood conditions. She blends personal and family experience with professional knowledge in a beautiful way as she advocates for the use of neurofeedback.  She establishes deep and playful bonds with her clients before, during, and after using the technology to influence their brain wave patterns.  Her job is holistic in that her work is not just to help the autistic child, but the entire family. 

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that guides the brain and body-mind to establish healthy balance.  It does not introduce electric waves into the brain manipulatively, but, rather, responds with rewards to the brain's own constructive activities, thus strengthening them.   Lynette uses it in conjunction with intensive bonding between the healer and the healed, play therapy, and deep regard for the role and wisdom of the parents.  Again, she works from the heart and puts her trust in the inner intelligence and wisdom of those she works with. 

The following short YouTube film will provide you with a great introduction to the work Lynette does:

In Lynette's book, The WingMaker, she provides us with a true story from her practice.  The primary character, Reazon, has Cerebral Palsy and has spent her life in a wheelchair, surrounded by siblings that play while her mother works hard to meet Reazon's basic needs. Reazon's dream is to play and be "normal" so that her mother won't have to work so hard. Happy-Ness then arrives and teaches the art of play and biofeedback for the brain so that Reazon might get her wish.

This is an inspiring short book on leading a severely handicapped child toward self-healing.  Neurofeedback entails empowering the child, or adult as the case might be.  As the technique goes, no one is forcing change.  Rather, the child receiving feedback is changing herself.  Yes, our brains and our hearts are instruments of self-change. 

Neurofeedback is not like the externalized methods of medication, surgery, or behavior modification techniques of behaviorists.  Neurofeedback empowers all of us and expands our ways of being in the world that is unfolding around us. The power is within us just as the healing of the planet lies in the planet, which includes us as cells.  WE are not Kings, nor Queens, of this Planet.  We are simply cells in its being--hopefully heart and soul cells as well as brain cells--and are here through simple acts such as breathing to support Life as well as complex ones such as comprehension and awe!

More and more scholars, researchers and thinkers are saying that we are at a critical juncture in which we can heal ourselves AND evolve.  The power is within us.  The true physician is the patient, who exists as a manifestation of Nature's Wisdom.  Neurofeedback just rewards, exercises, and strengthens that which is most  responsive and creative within our brains. 

Nature's Wisdom is within each one of us and within the world.  That by which the planet operates is that which is within us.

Is it the brain or the heart or the person that changes?  The answer is a simple yet powerful "YES!"  It's all one!

The true gift Lynette gives us is the empowerment of the Self, which is reflected in all organs of the body, be it heart, brain, liver or spleen.  It gently leads practitioners toward an understanding that the client is ultimately the true "Wing Maker." It inspires our understanding of just how miraculous a self-healing instrument the human body and brain can be when lovingly, receptively guided.

The process Lynette uses is definitely not low tech.  Indeed, it uses computer technology to help a child learn. 

 

Lynette is definitely well qualified to do the work she does.  She holds two board certifications in Neurofeedback and is working on her PhD. in Psychology, with a specialty in Psychophysiology. As a neurofeedback specialist, Lynette is on the cutting edge of treating autism and other brain-related disorders. With extensive training in several disciplines addressing autism, and a 20-year personal history of working with her own special"needs children, Lynette has achieved an expertise that is both scientific and intuitive and is creating miraculous results for her clients.

The neurofeedback process is reflected in the following diagram:

In 2004, Lynette founded the Brain and Body Clinic, a treatment center for autism and other brain disorders using neurofeedback, a therapy that improves functioning by training individuals to control their own brainwave activity. Although originally based in Santa Monica, California, Lynette decided a clinical setting was counterproductive to the majority of her clients. She now works on site with clients and their families all over the world.

Lynette has two books:

Miracles Are Made: The Real Life Guide To Autism (released April 2011). Her latest book, The WingMaker, was released Nov. 2013.

The Wingmaker.

My wife and I were inspired by reading Lynette Louise's books and blessed with the opportunity to talk at length with her.  Humanity is blessed to have such lover-healers as her among us.

Lynette is also host of the podcast: A New Spin On Autism: Answers! and the web series Fix it is Five.  Lynette often refers to herself as "The Brain Broad" on The Autism Channel!  Personally, I would call her the Heart Mamma!  But, Brain Broad is good too.

The question I present in my articles speak not so much towards the politicians, but how WE the people can empower ourselves within a planet that is healthy, wealthy and wise.
