Concept

The human brain is unbelievably complex and sophisticated and is often referred to as the last unexplored continent of ourselves. It is now becoming well known that the brain works by very small, though sometimes very potent, electro-magnetic micro-signals, which pass through various ‘neurone circuitries’ and ‘wiring arrangements’. These circuitries are formed from the experience of life and become the patterns which govern human behaviour, and which we rely upon for our identity, safety and security.

These circuitries become the filters and receptors by which we can recognise, translate or give credence to certain ideas, imagery and impressions. So the capacity of the brain to absorb and translate the signals it receives, from both internal and external sources, is according to the particular pathways, which we have either assembled in ourselves or have been printed upon us by our environment.

Shock or trauma, whether it be from a physical injury or accident or from some psychological wound or abuse, represents a huge overload for the brain to be able to deal with, particularly if it has no established circuitry with which to deal with it. The brain panics and reacts to the shock by closing down its circuitries, simply because the experience is too traumatic to deal with.

This then leaves the brain in a very vulnerable and unsafe situation, because it can then no longer handle the same levels of process and stimulant, which it otherwise was able to in its normal state.

So, for instance, if a brain works normally at say 80% and an injury occurs or some form of emotional hurt happens, then it shuts itself down and works at a much smaller capacity, at say 10%.

Any further electro-magnetic activity, which the brain then receives or has to deal with, cannot be processed because the brain has had to close down the majority of its circuitries. These signals and energies can then overload and overheat the few circuitries that are remaining, causing extreme stress and panic. The energies which cannot be processed then start to toxify and need to be expelled.

The Refuge Garden has been designed, firstly, to allow the release of these over-loaded electro-magnetic energies, which cannot be processed by the damaged circuitries of the brain. This is vital as the more these toxins can be cleared out, then the quicker the brain will be able to regenerate and re-establish itself.

Therefore, a safe and secure place of sanctuary becomes essential to the repair process, because any excess electro-magnetic impulse to a damaged brain is inhibiting of new regeneration.

In particular, it is alarming to know that many head injury patients begin to suffer from epileptic fits and violent outbursts as a direct consequence of their injury, which might well be caused by not having the opportunity to detoxify these poisons which build up due to the incapacity to handle too much stimulation. The body will then have had to reject these overloaded energies, out of its systems, with a fit or seizure.

Secondly, the Garden provides a refuge in which the brain can safely begin to re-constitute itself and to rebuild the natural and positive mental and emotional pathways by the use of colour. It provides an opportunity to re-balance and charge the seven natural spectrum energies which are fundamental and essential to our state of balance and wellbeing.
