Dear Subscribers,
We are pleased to be publishing our third monthly newsletter, and we are also pleased at the growing interest in Transforming Dragons, and the science behind it (www.pnri.net). Many listeners are awakening to more of their full potential through TDPTP. Your assistance in spreading the word is greatly appreciated.
What to Expect After Listening
by Gerald Vind, PhD
There is truly profound benefit from Prenatal Re-Imprinting (PNRI). I know this from my own personal experience becoming a practitioner of PNRI, and from my work with PNRI to help troubled individuals. I know that PNRI can take someone out of suicidal depression in a single session. I have seen PNRI take persons with severe eating disorders, and remove their problem in one or two sessions. The PNRI technique is remarkably effective when performed by a trained practitioner.
Transforming Dragons (TDPTP) may not have the same immediate impact as working with a PNRI practitioner. Nonetheless, in the long run, it is effective when the intention of listeners is strong, and they seek to transform their dysfunctional patterns.
TDPTP listeners usually experience deep insights, and there is a pervasive sense of lightening up emotionally, along with feelings of happiness. Most listeners experience a positive emotional story-content in a re-imprinting overlay. Negative and maladaptive "dragons" are re-imprinted with positive parental images and comforting relational experiences. Walls are transformed into doorways.
Listeners experience results that reshape the way they experience their life, and there is a positive shift in the foundations of their personality. Also, listeners notice their awareness has expanded, and it will continue to expand according to a listener’s intention to experience personal growth.

The Science Within TDPTP - SEVERE STRESS
by Gerald Vind, PhD
An expectant mother’s negative emotional experiences can do a great deal of harm to her physical health by producing a surge of corticosteroids, catecholamines, and C-reactive protein. This compromises her health, and it influences the developmental patterns in her fetus.
Severe prenatal and childhood stress are indicated as being foundational in virtually all autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and irritable bowel syndrome.
Prenatal experiences of severe stress imprint patterns that predispose us, in later life, to more stress. Many people seem to be stuck in recurring patterns of very stressful life experiences. The science of Prenatal Re-Imprinting (www.pnri.net) tells us why. We create a reality field to cause our adrenal glands to produce "juices" (corticosteroids and catecholamines) to feed our dragons.
Adrenal glands are two triangular shaped organs that form a cap on top of each of our two kidneys. They contain very specialized cells that are primarily responsible for regulating our stress response. Catecholamines produce general physiological changes that prepare the body for a fight or flight response. Extremely high levels of catecholamine can produce a catecholamine toxicity.
The catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine are produced in the adrenal medula and also in postganglonic nerve fibers of the autonomic nervous system; together they regulate the heart rate, blood pressure, and they (especially epinephrine) prepares us in various ways to fight or to flee.
When adrenal glands are highly active in responding to stress they produce an excessive amount of epinephrine (adrenaline). Circulating in our blood, adrenaline is eventually metabolized into two metabolites.
One of these metabolites is adrenochrome, and it can induce significant psychoactive effects that some researchers classify as hallucinogenic. These effects include: euphoria, confusion, loss of concentration, and a changed train of thought. Some lives appear filled with confusion and lack of concentration that result from stress-induced adrenochrome hallucinations.
Epinephrine is produced by conversion of norepinephrine, and so severe stress reduces the levels of norepinephrine in the mother, and signals the conversion of norepinephrine in her fetus into epinephrinin. (See article on Neural Circuits in TD NL #2) Thus, the developing fetal brain is depleted of the stuff needed to assure proper development of neural circuits, and at the same time this imprints a configuration of chatacholamine-fed dragons.
In later life, there is a prenatal pattern imprinted that motivates toward relationships and events that will stimulate the same prenatal pattern of chatacholamine "juices" (complete with adrenochrome hallucinations) in order to feed the dragons.
Techniques for re-patterning such negative foundations have been shown to respond to several therapeutic techniques, in particular to Prenatal Re-Imprinting (PNRI). However, as was noted in the last TD newsletter, severe maternal stress can significantly alter neural pathways and damage a developing fetal brain.
You can safely use Transforming Dragons to treat yourself, no matter how serious your mental/emotional problems. However, if there is serious organic brain damage, then it is recommended that your work be under the care of a health care professional. If there is some question about PNRI or Transforming Dragons call 800-473-1227 and ask for a free initial phone session. Be sure to leave your name and phone number.

PNRI and Self Esteem
by Dr. Joseph DiRuzzo
Dr. DiRuzzo is the originator and leading developer of the techniques of Prenatal Re-Imprinting (PNRI). He is currently working on a program to enhance human mental and physical potential through a program of prenatal nurturing and enrichment.
The PNRI position on the issues of self-esteem is straightforward, clear, concise and unequivocal, as is the rest of the PNRI model. Lack of self-esteem upon analysis using PNRI methodology, is caused by maladaptive, simple stimulus-response conditioned reflexes established in the prenatal period.
Specifically, if the mother and/or father do not want the pregnancy, are angry at or dislike the fetus or the prospect of having a child; if they regard the pregnancy with reservation, disappointment, despair or revulsion or any similar emotion, then the fetus is imprinted with extremely negative generalizations about self, others and their environment.
Such foundational beliefs, in the form of simple reflexes, are of the deepest unconscious nature, and they underlie everything that that individual learns.
Many individuals spend a lifetime in self-doubt, tortured by feelings of worthlessness and lack of value. Such torment, the PNRI model asserts, is unnecessary.
Moreover, the PNRI methodology, appropriately applied, has shown itself to reliably and consistently be capable of changing even the most pervasive lack of self-esteem to an attitude of joy and happiness.
Characteristically, problems in the area of self-esteem last a lifetime, regardless of the seminars taken, books read or affirmations recounted on the subject. This is consistent with the observations of PNRI, that the initial imprints establish the format for our perceptions; emotions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors, and such foundational prenatal experiences cannot by subsequent evidence to the contrary.
The methodology for change available in the PNRI system offers a solution to lack of self-esteem, often a most devastating problem. The simple tools of PNRI, applied with appropriate expertise, are consistently reported to be able to change negative self-image, negative self-talk, and negative self-concept.
For those who suffer from problems in this area, there can be no greater breakthrough in the field of human potential.

Outside The Matrix - MEDIA
by Gerald Vind, PhD
This is the third in a series of articles about the "Matrix" in which we live. The concept of a 'Matrix" was introduced by the 1999 Sci-Fi motion picture titled THE MATRIX, written and directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski. (Although, Sophia Stewart claims to be the "mother' of THE MATRIX, and is suing the Wachowskies.) Nonetheless, the idea of being enslaved by a manipulated reality field has gained a broader acceptance.
There is a book that is most enlightening and revealing about the “Matrix” or world of illusion most of us live within. That book is: Trust Us, We're Experts: How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles with Your Future, by investigative journalists Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber. Readers are introduced to the inner workings of the public relations (PR) industry and the corporate giants that hire them. The book illuminates readers to two kinds of PR "experts" -- the PR spin doctors who operate behind the scenes, and the experts that they present to the media as "independent." These "independent" experts have been hand-picked, corrupted, and paid large sums of money to promote the views of corporations involved in things that are controversial, and who want to project a favorable image into the market place.
It is so bad that the only thing we can be sure of is: If the majority of the population believes something, it is probably wrong. If you watch a lot of television then everything you know (or think you know) is probably wrong.
In America, the conventional wisdom that has wide spread acceptance is usually contrived and it is paid for by the interests the deception serves. For example:
- America has the best health care in the world
- Pharmaceuticals restore balance and health
- Pregnancy is a medical condition
- Vaccinations provide immunity
- Sick children need Tylenol and antibiotics
- Hyperactive children need mood altering drugs
If you take the time to research the list above you will find that the statements are misleading, inaccurate, and/or simply not true. We are conditioned to look only at "sugar cookies" instead of looking at the contents of the whole bakery.
And, the above list is only a small part of the carefully constructed public relations (PR) and advertising illusions that cost billions of dollars to create, billions of dollars that are passed on to the consumer in higher prices. These are the separate parts of the all-pervasive matrix of disinformation, deception, and illusion that enslave us. The illusion exists because of the corruption of science and the media; for example, Jenny Thompson, Executive Director of the Health Sciences Institute reports:
"The new FDA-approved $10,000-per-month cancer drugs are a total fraud. That’s right. These outrageously overpriced drugs provide almost NO benefit to cancer patients. They’re keeping the truth from us because there’s so much money at stake."
But, the basic mechanism for our enslavement is our individual awareness. An awareness that is limited to a significant extent by the dragons in the inner most part of our brain; in particular, dragons associated with fear and anxiety. Having our dragons fade into lifeless shadows releases resources within our brain to expand our awareness.
Back in 1964 Marshall McLuhan published his book titled: Understanding Media. McLuhan is perhaps most remembered for his "The medium is the message" quotation. There are several other McLuhanisms that are worth noting:
- "Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by public
incredulity."
- "We look at the present through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards into
the future."
- "The trouble with a cheap, specialized education is that you never stop paying for it."
- "It’s misleading to suppose there is any basic difference between education and entertainment."
Our media and our educational system are the major threads in the fabric of the matrix that dominates us individually and collectively. I am not suggesting confrontation to unraveling the matrix; I am suggesting that by developing our awareness we can move more effectively above and within the matrix as we begin changing ourselves.
The matrix is our perceived reality. When we change, our reality field changes. As our awareness grows and expands, our perception of reality grows and expands. As we communicate our greater awareness with others we begin to shift the collective human consciousness.

Recommended Reading – The Secret Life of the Unborn Child
From time-to-time we will present books or articles that are relevant to Transforming Dragons and the supporting science of Prenatal Re-Imprinting. This month we feature a classic that many subscribers have read. Many more, however, have not heard of Dr. Thomas Verny, and this will be of interest.
Pioneering physician Thomas Verny, MD wrote an important book based on his two decades of research: The Secret Life of the Unborn Child - (Paperback 1981).
Dr. Verny explains that the ways in which a mother responds to and cares for her unborn child can influence the child’s physical and emotional well-being for the rest of its life.
"In fact, the single most gratifying aspect of our new knowledge is what it reveals about the pregnant woman and her role in shaping and guiding her unborn child’s personality." (p.16)
In his book Dr. Verny explains his remarkable findings that an unborn child is:
- Capable of learning,
- Able to hear and respond to voices and sounds, including music,
- Sensitive to their parent’s feelings about them,
- Capable of responding to love,
- Is an active, feeling human being.
Dr Verny in his discussion of psychological communication between mother and her unborn child, explains the significance of maternal anxiety:
“Anxiety- and stress-related hormones are the most obvious form of psychological communication from woman to child. Clearly, those anxieties that touch directly on the child, the pregnancy, the spouse or the woman’s insecurities and inadequacies have the greatest impact on the fetus. But only intense or continued maternal anxiety can be hazardous. The woman who sometimes worries about bills or the weight she is gaining is certainly not putting her child at risk. …[But the unborn child] cannot take…a continual assault of anxiety hormones [catecholamines]. The danger here is not just to intrauterine bonding, either…. This kind of attack may also set the child’s emotional thermostat at a precariously high level.“ (p. 91)
Dr. Verny also points to research that shows the importance of the often-ignored father of the unborn child. How the father of an unborn child feels about the child’s mother and their child is one of the single most important factors in a pregnancy.
