Matrix Energetics Library and Resource Center
     “One of the things I love about going to Matrix Energetics classes is that it gets my creative juices going and enables me to be more aware of my surrounding. In other words to notice and perceive more. I feel this increases my ability to notice something useful for my clients, my friends, my family and myself. The purpose of the Matrix Energetics Library is the same. We live in the information age,” Kimberly Burnham, Matrix Energetics Librarian.
     “There are 540,000 words in the English language about 5 times as many as in Shakespeare's time. More than 3000 new books are published everyday. It is estimated that a weeks worth of New York Times contains more information than a person in 18th century was likely to come across in a lifetime.” [Full Text Video] http://www.flixxy.com/technology-and-education-2008.htm 
     Accessing some of this information, images, shapes, symbols, people (Whizard’s Council), book reviews, articles, research on modalities that work for people and can be put into a module for the individual client, nutritional and homeopathic information which can be used virtually can make our Matrix Energetics process more interesting.
 Voltaire 1694 - 1778, the famous, controversial French author, humanist, rationalist, satirist and philosopher said, "The art of medicine consists of keeping the patient amused while nature heals the disease." Voltaire is also quoted as saying of the medical establishment of the day, "they poured drugs of which they knew little to cure diseases of which they knew less into human beings of whom they knew nothing." 
     The information in the library is meant to enable Matrix Energetics practitioners to amuse themselves, their clients and change the world in the process.  
     For ten years, Kimberly Burnham, PhD worked as the Director of Knowledge Management and Librarian for the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy and Diagnostics. Before that she worked for 10 years as a freelance journalist. She has practiced, taught, written and read widely in the field of health and wellness in the last 30 years.
     She has been Matrix Energetics certified since 2008 and is a Matrix Energetics librarian with access to a vast library of reference images, material and information on ways in which people can feel better and function better.
     She will be putting on a series of free Matrix Energetics practice groups to explore the library and find more ways to visualize health and well being.
     The practice groups are available free on a first come first serve basis. Sign up for our monthly email letter for information on topics and dates and let us know you are interested.
     These are accessed through skype and teleconference.
     The practice groups are open to anyone who has taken a Matrix Energetics course

     The first in the series will be
Friday  April 23, 2010   6:30 - 8 pm at Mission Hills Physical Therapy and on Skype. The topic is: Noticing and Feeling Frequencies, Numbers, Shapes, Layers, Levels and More

Other topics that will be covered in the future are:
- Integrating Matrix Energetics and Homeopathy, Supercharging Your Current Nutritional Knowledge
- Matrix Energetics Two Point Process and Integrative Manual Therapy's Templates
- Manual Therapists Access Positive Outcomes by Collapsing the Matrix Energetics Wave
- Matrix Energetics's Copies, Dowsing and Treatment Planning
- Visualizing and Shifting Time and Space

 Kimberly Burnham, PhD Matrix Energetics Certified is working towards certification as a Matrix Energetics Study Group Leader. She will be doing a series of practice groups free of charge. The first of which will be in San Diego, CA at Mission Hills Physical Therapy with Ralph Havens, PT Matrix Energetics Certified.

 Starting in September, 2010 by which time she expects to be a certified Matrix Energetics Study Group leader she will continue to hold study groups and explore topics in the library.
 She also does consultation on any health and wellness topic. See below for services and samples available.

Reference material for the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy's Integrated Systems Approach includes the following systems and more:
1. System of Biomechanics (joint integrity of the pelvis, sacrum, spine, and peripheral joints)
2. Musculoskeletal System
3. Connective Tissue System
4. Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord)
5. Cranial System
6. Peripheral Nervous System
7. Visceral System (cardiac, digestive, urogenital, immune, pulmonary, detoxification, and more)
8. Circulatory Systems (arterial, venous, and lymphatic)
9. System of Energy
10. Body/Mind Systems

The information comes from the Morphic Field of medical doctors, physical therapists,
chiropractors, occupational therapists, massage therapists, speech therapists, physicians, learning
specialists, psychologists, nurses, wellness experts in body work, and more.

It is produced by practitioners in hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools, universities as well as other institutions.

IMT addresses rehabilitation in two categories: Structural Rehabilitation and Functional
Rehabilitation.
Structural Rehabilitation improves structural integrity of the body. It addresses joint
mobility, muscle tone, soft tissue flexibility, range of motion, muscle control and more. It
corrects patho-anatomy in biomechanics of the spine and appendages, muscles, connective
tissue system, organs, nervous system, blood vessels, lymphatic system and energetic
structures.
Functional Rehabilitation restores functional outcomes according to the optimal potential
of the client. It addresses balance, coordination, proprioception (internal joint sensation),
exteroception (sensory capability), strength, endurance, hearing, vision, speech, smell,
learning, behavior and more.
Structural Rehabilitation corrects anatomic dysfunction and influences physiology. It
creates the potential for function. Functional Rehabilitation optimizes the patient's
utilization of this function. The relationship between Structural and Functional
Rehabilitation can be illustrated in the following analogy. Think of a child playing the
piano. If the piano is out of tune, the music will sound poor. Even if the child is a master
prodigy of the piano, the music will still sound poor because the structural integrity of the
piano is lacking. It is always more efficient and effective to treat structure first - to tune
the piano. Once the piano is tuned, the potential for good music is there, but the child may
require some lessons. These lessons are Functional Rehabilitation. This Functional
Rehabilitation will help the child to reach his/her potential in creating beautiful music.

A Summary
There is no 'one' single problem affecting a person, causing disability and pain, and
inhibiting their function. Persons of all ages, cultures, and locations are composites of
their past, present, and future goals. Emotional, personal, mental/cognitive, spiritual and
other aspects of living contribute to healthy life-styles and goal-oriented function. Persons
around the world are learning more every day about function and dysfunction.
Accountability and responsibility for function and productivity belongs to everyone, rather
than to the physician, the insurance company, and the drug vendor. Integrative Manual
Therapy is more than structural and functional rehabilitation, more than Integrative
Diagnostics, more than an Integrated Systems approach to correct dysfunction and improve
function. It is an ever-expanding field contributing to all disciplines, who wish to improve
home, community, and world health.
