Foundation Goals

The goals of the Global Gateway Foundation are to define, refine and advance academic and philosophical understanding and new technologies that support its mission, to investigate their applications through normative and empirical approaches, and to disseminate and elaborate on the resulting strategies.

Page 3 Foundation ObjectivesThe Foundations programs will be directed to the following area: * Furthering emerging concepts of health and wellness on a global scale. * Initiating and pursuing current and emerging transformative technologies, which draw on greater physical, mental and spiritual integration. * Investigating the effects of Network Spinal Analysis Care, Somato Respiratory Integration, and other Epstein technologies and developing a research agenda to expand understanding of the underlying dynamics such research may reveal. * Creating and establishing the knowledge base necessary to assist the development of existing and new disciplines arising from new areas of study in understanding health, wellbeing, and the forces which organize the interactions between the body and the environment. * Creating community outreach opportunities for under served populations to experience new approaches to care, welness and healing. * Assisting marginalized individuals who appear to be a burden to their communities to develop greater resources for their health, wellness and social contribution. Those who have great gifts for humanity/society are often wounded early in life and have no voice in the culture, yet can be helped to be more well and share their gifts thought assistance from the Foundation. * Partnering with individuals, foundations, and public and private organizations to undertake projects that advance the Global Gateway Foundation mission. * Exploring applications of these new understandings in areas of health/wellness, lifestyle, personal empowerment, the integral and core nature of individuals, organizational development, industrial applications and basic research (including mathematics, biology, physiology, psychology, ecology, social sciences and spirituality).

The All One Foundation

The All One Foundation www.all-onefoundation.com has been created to provide permanent healing support for children and young women who have suffered abuse and sexual violence from the sex trade, in countries where limited rehabilitation services exist. In Asia alone it is estimated that there are currently over 650,000 child prostitutes forced to work in the commercial sex trade. The violence many of them endure is unthinkable and horrific.All One has been currently operating from a shelter that houses rescued children outside of Phnom Phen, Cambodia, where approximately 80 girls live. The children are between ages 5 - 17 years and most are between 10 - 14 years old. All One is now reaching out to a shelter in Northern Thailand to support this on-going endeavor.The All One Foundation vision is to create global awareness of the need to heal children rescued from the sex trade in third world countries.

Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet

The Global Gateway Foundation is a sponsor of the Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet Company www.lemonspongecake.org. Lemon Sponge Cake was founded by dancer, choreographer Robert Sher-Machherndl and publicist Jenifer Sher in 2004. Its mission is to bring change and new possibilities to the field of dance and its audiences, via the performance of new work, new choreography that take risk and express the unpredictable and unexpected. The results are strikingly imaginative, intensely emotional and distinctly progressive.With a shared objective to create outreach opportunities for under-served populations, together the intent is to serve local, national and international at-risk youth to experience a collaborative approach to life, wellness and healing. The project combines Robert Sher-Machherndls unique choreographic movement style, developed partly through large scale community projects, with Donny Epstein's Somato Respiratory Integration applications to further develop ground-breaking, cross disciplinary programs to serve communities around the world.Lemon Sponge Cake has received critical-acclaim, noted for its uncompromising artistic vision and signature choreographic style, danced by highly skilled performers and quality collaborators.

Reorganizational Healing Projects

The Global Gateway sponsored the research and writing of the groundbreaking Reorganizational Healing: A Paradigm for the Advancement of Wellness, Behavior Change, Holistic Practice, and Wellness paper which was featured in the May 2009 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. The Foundation has arranged for the article to be free for download at http://www.liebertpub.com/acm Reorganizational Healing is defined as an approach to healing and life which seeks to both optimize existing structures and fields of influence, bringing them into a more dynamic, aware, and responsive state while producing new sustainable emerging properties which can assist in self regulation, growth and evolution of the systems.It has three central elements: The Four Seasons of Well Being (an individuals focus regarding the world around and within them), the Triad of Change (the relationship between structure, behavior and perception) and the Five Energetic Intelligences (resources we fuel our actions and attitudes with). Reorganizational Healing helps individuals to create their own maps to self assess themselves and to draw on their strengths. This supports new change and creates a new baseline in life. It is about a real life practical understanding of oneself, and powerful tools so that symptoms, disease, problems, and life stresses can spark self-inquiry, wisdom, new energy sources and ultimately new actions to create a more fulfilling and resilient life.Reorganizatonal Healing on Reuters For more information on Reorganizational Healing visit www.reorganizationalhealing.com

Page 2 Title: Comparison of Self-guided Audio Technology and Practitioner-guided Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Strategies: Measuring Cortisol Bio-markers and Psychometric OutcomesInvestigator: Dessa Bergen-Cico, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of PublicHealth, Food Studies and Nutrition, Syracuse UniversityAbstractOver the past decade there has been a growing awareness and understanding of the psychological and physical impact of exposure to violence and residual trauma affecting civilians living in violent environments and veterans returning from war. Whereas much of the public lexicon has evolved in relation to the experiences of military veterans, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) also affects citizens in violent urban neighborhoods and civilians in war tom countries.The objective of this research is to develop efficacious portable self-directed prevention and intervention technologies and strategies to reduce psychological and physical distress for those affected by trauma and violence, particularly active military, veterans, and people living in violent communities. The treatment/intervention for this study is Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), which uses focused analytic attention to cognition and physical experience. Participants will engage in one of two MBSR formats 1.) adapted MBSR 4-week 4- session facilitator led program; or 2.) audio based self-guided 8 week MBSR home practice with supplemental instructional manual.Participants in both MBSR formats will be assessed for pre and post intervention anxiety, substance use patterns, and the biomarker - salivary cortisol. These metrics will enable us to track potential changes in mental and physical health and the relationships between biomarkers and valid psychometric measures. Moreover this study will assess the benefits of MBSR as a prevention and intervention strategy for the management of trauma among veterans and civilians; and explore the efficacy of audio based self-guided MBSR practice as a low-cost, portable, self-directed means for cultivating mindfulness as a protective factor for resetting oneself, tolerating anxiety/distress, and mediating addictive behaviors.

Page 3 RTHRV402 Pilot Study --The Clinical and Biochemical Effect of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback on Fatigue and Insomnia in Patients with Breast Cancer Receiving Radiation TherapyGlobal Gateway FoundationAbstractThe National Cancer Institute has estimated that one out of seven women in the United States will be diagnosed and treated for breast cancer at some point in their lifetime. A majority of women with breast cancer receive radiation therapy, and many of them experience the debilitating side effects of fatigue and insomnia. There is a need for an effective treatment that could ameliorate these symptoms and improve quality of life. This study will help to determine if heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVBF), a noninvasive, non-pharmacological therapy that involves training a person to breathe at an individually determined slow breath rate of 4.5-7 breaths per minute yielding the individual's highest heart rate variability (SDNN-standard deviation of all normal RR intervals), will be effective in reducing fatigue and insomnia. Studies have shown a link between radiation therapy and inflammation. Other studies have shown a correlation between increased inflammation and fatigue. Furthermore, an increasing body of evidence has shown that heart rate variability is inversely related to inflammation. HRVBF has been found to reduce symptoms and physiological signs of asthma which is thought to have an inflammatory component. This study hypothesizes that HRVBF may potentiate the activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway via the vagus nerve, incrementally reducing proinflammatory cytokine activity, and thereby reducing fatigue and insomnia.

About Biophoton Detector and Preliminary Measurements on Energy PractitionersHarry Jabs, MS, and Beverly Rubik, PhDInstitute for Frontier ScienceABSTRACTVarious complementary medical systems maintain that the human energy field (biofield) is key to health and healing. The biofield is complex, consisting of numerous low-level fields. Custom devices need to be designed and built to study it. One approach is to measure the blophotons, the ultra-low level visible light emitted from the body. In this study, we pose the following research question: can we observe changes in the blophoton emission from the hands and/or forehead of energy healers pre-post energy therapy on a client? We will design a custom portable biophoton detector that can detect and count photons. We will also compare results from this custom device with those of an advanced electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD), which is the state-of-the-art detector for measuring extremely low-level light, a very expensive device, which we will borrow from the manufacturer for several hours. Preliminary measurements will be made with these devices on at least 5 energy healers, including Relkl, Network Spinal Analysis, Therapeutic Touch, and medical qlgong practitioners, in therapy sessions conducted under controlled conditions in our laboratory on clients who have a minor health issue such as benign headaches, sports injuries, and allergies. We will compare blophoton emission from the energy healer before and immediately after the session. We will also assess the level of satisfaction of both client and energy healer following the therapy session, and look for a correlation between the level of satisfaction and changes in blophoton emission of the energy healer. We hypothesize that blophoton emission from an energy healer will increase post-session, and furthermore, that the largest increases in blophoton emission will occur for sessions reported to be of highest satisfaction. This is an initial pilot study to look for an effect, whose outcome will be the development of a new device for measuring blophoton emission from organisms, and to start a database to show how blophoton emission from the human body changes in therapeutic interactions.
