Dr. Mary Lynch was a traditionally-trained orthopedist specializing in sports medicine for 15 years. After her partner was killed in a plane crash 15 years ago, she resolved to follow heart and immerse herself in reasons why what she had been trained to do for people rarely actually helped them. "I had a very high satisfaction rate from clients," says Lynch, "But when I followed up for five-year, ten-year and fifteen-year intervals what we found was underlying disease process was still there. So even though they may have returned to their sport or activity, their degenerative arthritis, etc., as expected would appear if you had done nothing, was still appearing. So, I had in that 15 years of practice begun to explore possibility that we were simply managing symptoms, and not really doing anything to correct underlying problems." Dr. Lynch made it her life work to find out why human body did not repair itself better than it did.
Lynch points out, "If you take a tomato seed, for instance, and crack it open, it's full of little brown powder. That powder is DNA of that tomato seed. If I plunk it on an asphalt road it doesn't have a clue what to do. It never has a chance. But if I kick it into dirt, it rains and gets a little sunshine, I don't have to read it a book on how to become a tomato plant. It knows exactly what to do. Our DNA is really no different. From early on, what we concluded was that if we could help create environment that allowed that DNA to kick in and do what it was designed to do, then we would have gotten--from a treatment perspective--to a level that no one else had really looked at before."
That premise took Dr. Lynch around world, finally researching 96 therapies. "What we found in testing these therapies was that they really weren't any different than management tools we use in medicine. Perhaps they were less invasive--they all tended to be feel-good things--and people absolutely felt better, things shifted--but underlying disease process usually kept on marching."
Tracking failures... Rather than follow a particular therapy or therapist or researcher, Dr. Lynch followed her failures: clients who had not gotten better. They, more than anything else, pointed way to what was to become Consegrity. "I wasn't looking for anything new. I was just looking for what had to be there. People have been looking for that for centuries."
In 1940, Dr. Harold Saxton Burr found that salamander embryos possessed an energy field that was roughly size and shape adult animal would be. The energy field contained an electrical axis which aligned with brain and spinal cord and originated in unfertilized egg of developing salamander. He also discovered that seedlings possess an energy field that looks like adult plant. And, around same time, Semyon Kirlian developed electrographic techniques which could translate Burr's findings into a visual medium where one could actually see electrical corona or "aura" of living organism. Both men found that disease caused noticeable changes in color, size, and shape of aura.
Dr. Lynch was led by her failed patients to inescapable conclusion that there was an energy field around and throughout all living things. Although this energy field has been acknowledged for centuries, especially in Eastern Medicine, Dr. Lynch was not satisfied that there existed a definitive way to address this energy field to trigger powerful healing mechanism existing within human body. Dr. Lynch found that she could measure this energy field on an Electromyograph (EMG), and found that energy could be felt by therapist. "At that point," says Lynch, "It gave us ability to literally be able to deal directly with that field."
Consegrity evolved into a type of language map that could be used to create a "mirror" in which field of energy of therapist is programmed by client by taking therapist to certain written words. "The written word actually reshapes your field of energy," declares Dr. Lynch. "And that creates a mirror. So in essence in Consegrity, we're not really doing anything. We're being a mirror. That mirror reflects client's field back to their DNA. When those two connect, energy that has been held in tissues at level of mind/body, even in field itself, reorganizes and shifts right out of system."
The field is everything.... Dr. Lynch cited Masaru Emoto's work with ice crystals, where words and concepts dramatically affected shape and symmetry of crystals. This same phenomenon is given a practical application in Consegrity where language between therapist and client can be used to dramatically influence human DNA. "Emoto demonstrated what we thought we were doing with his water model," says Dr. Lynch. "We found that when DNA is disconnected from energy field, it doesn't have any instruction. It literally doesn't know what to do. Your body's a hologram. It has a hundred trillion cells that all have same DNA. In science we still do not know why cells differentiate into one thing or another, because nobody believes in something they can't see--called ENERGY. If that field of energy is connected to DNA, then that cell knows what to be."
"When all is said and done," summarizes Dr. Lynch, "The field is all of it. We're a field that contains a body-mind. And when field slows its vibration, it literally becomes our cellular tissues. But it's all energy and space, and mostly space. And that space is our unmanifested potential. It is all that we could be if we were not what we are. We are result of our inherited patterns. And we know that we operate on less than 40% of our DNA right now, because rest of it is stuck. You clear your DNA, and you're actually clearing your father's DNA and your son's DNA. So your gift you give others as that DNA opens up, is immense."
When Dr. Lynch was in Copenhagen in 1983 to present a paper, she sat in on a discussion by Japanese cell biologists. They were addressing one of core concepts in modern medicine: that cells fail to regenerate and repair because of aging process. They felt concept couldn't possibly be true. So, they researched for a number of years what truly caused cell to become dysfunctional over time. None of normal lines of research could be used, such as analyzing cell metabolic products, or measuring degradation of elements of cells, since these would only validate aging paradigm. Dr. Lynch revealed, "However, when they measured TENSION around cell--when that got to a certain point, DNA locked up, enzymes failed to be produced, cell walls stopped being repaired, and proteins stopped being made. In medicine, we've labeled that 'aging.' The fact is, it has nothing to do with aging, but how clear is cell's environment (within energy field)."
Consegrity... Dr. Lynch coined word "Consegrity" from elements in it that make it work: cell consciousness or consilience, and cell tensegrity and integrity. Consegrity is not a "doing" technique. It is a technique in which therapist is taken to certain words by client that in turn connects client's energy field back with their DNA. The therapist, then, is doing nothing but being a mirror for client's DNA. "When DNA kicks on, it knows exactly what to do. I don't have to read it a book," states Lynch. "The doctors who have taken this (Consegrity) class have hardest time doing this, because we're all stuck in boxes that say we think we know something. If what we knew was sufficient, there wouldn't be any disease."
