"Where a horse's future is shaped, not broken"
PHOTONIC THERAPY is basically the scientific application of light, to particular areas of the skin of increased electrical conductivity, to produce particular physiological results.

We all have information about our environment, such as light intensity, temperature, or clothing touching the skin, flooding into the brain the whole time. The brain, has the ability to switch off and ignore these signals. It is the same with pain. If a condition goes on for more than four to six weeks, the brain learns to accept the problem.

The energy of light (photons) is transformed into electrical energy by the connective tissue under the skin. This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain by the nerves. Stimulating specific combinations of points on the skin, will cause the brain to release particular hormones and other chemicals to relieve pain, increase immune response, and promote healing.

McLaren Photonic Therapy
utilizes broad band 660nm red light to provide the photons required to painlessly, and safely stimulate tissue. Visable light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum and ranges between 400-700nm. Wavelengths below 400nm (ultra violet) have high energy and do not penetrate deeply into tissue but can cause damage, such as melanomas. Above 700nm, in the infrared range there is less energy per photon, and longer treatment times are required.

McLaren Photonic Therapy
has been successfully used to treat thousands of clinical cases in animals, painlessly, and without the risks associated with skin penetration. Also it is without the risks around the eyes, associated with the use of lasers. Because Photonic Therapy works so well on animals, it obviously does not rely on a psychosomatic, hypnotic, or placebo effect, but is a valid therapeutic modality.

Bacteria and other single cell organisms do not have a nervous system, but they have both a form of memory and a sense of direction, due to electrical potential differences across their cell membrane (wall). Sharks and fish use the electric fields around the body for prey detection, and communication as do the platypus and echidnas. Snakes have infrared sensors on their lips linked to the optic centre of their brains, while birds, higher mammals, and humans, have well developed eyes to receive and interpret electromagnetic radiation (visible light).

What is Photonic Therapy?
Photonic Therapy is an Australian concept of complimentary medicine, based on research published in 1996 by Dr Brian McLaren. Photonic Therapy is applied neuro-physiology, that is, the scientific application of electro-biochemistry. Treatment consists of applying a particular frequency of light (safe, gentle red light, not laser) to specific points.

Dr Brian McLaren is a clinical scientist, a veterinary surgeon and the highest qualified acupuncturist in Australia, with postgraduate university qualifications both in veterinary and human acupuncture. He is a Fellow of the Australian Natural Therapists Association and a Member of the International Society for the Study of Pain. His Master's Degree thesis scientifically explained what an acupuncture point is and how it came to be there and how acupuncture actually works. He is currently undertaking a Doctor of Philosophy degree, with the University of Queensland, researching the treatment of Glaucoma by Photonic Therapy.




Brian has received accreditation, from the Federal Government, for the instruction of a series of approved qualifications. His instruction in, and granting of, these qualifications have allowed the establishment of a series of McLaren Photonic Therapy clinics throughout Australia.
 
About Chromotherapy
An enlightened & fascinating modality of healing brought forward from Atlantean teachings, using kinesiology, colour therapy, Gem Essences, and circular polarisation of energy through crystals.

Correspondence Course Outline:Students will work to locate and balance energy flow disturbances to the 14 major organs. Locate & balance the emotions creating the energy blockage. Have a working knowledge of Chinese 5 elements, Ch'i flow, colour associated with each organ and it's healing properties, 18 Gem Essences & how to perform accurate muscle tests.  One of the common tools of many Kinesiologists. You are be able to practice professionally by the end of this day if desired.

About the founders of Chromotherapy
Renascent is a family run business that was founded in 1991 by Lesley Mitchell (nee Antonoff). Lesley was later one of the directors of The Australian College of Feng Shui & Geomancy, worked with many other organisations and well known people around the world, authored 9 books and travelled extensively around the world teaching and studying. We began teaching personal development and healing classes and a natural health clinic. Shortly after this, we discovered a need to find good quality products for our own use both in the clinic, classes and in Feng Shui consultations. From this the college students and our practitioners requested that they too could purchase these products for use in their own work, hence a retail aspect to our business was began. Shortly after this, certain shopkeepers requested that they may be able to purchase our products for resale in their shops and clinics, hence a wholesale aspect was begun. It was only a short matter of time before this took off and became a major part of our lives and currently we supply many businesses in Australia and overseas.
The International College of Intuitive Sciences was founded by Daryll Mitchell after realising that the demand for Feng Shui practitioners and natural therapists was too large for him to manage on his own. From a need to provide good quality practitioners, the college was begun as well as education for those with an interest in these areas. Daryll has over 22 years background in Qi (Ch'i/energy) development, martial arts and music. The college has a strong emphasis on integrity and spiritual foundations in all work. We are proud to work with a number of Qi and Feng Shui Masters and practitioners in Australia, China, Nepal, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, England, USA and Indonesia. Many of our wholesale and retail customers have become workshop sponsors and held very successful seminars and classes in their own areas. (Further information sheets are available if you are interested in running a seminar or series with the college).
