In creating this website, we had two principal objectives: First, we naturally wish to promote our products and trainings. We believe that they will make a difference for you, allowing you to have better health, more happiness, and more joy. We have done our best to be subtle in our self-promotion, and we have also done our best to provide information you’ll find helpful, including free online information, interesting articles, and free downloadable files you’ll find useful. Second, we wish to stimulate interest in holistic therapies, those that address the whole person, including body, mind, and spirit.

We are aware that the SCS website covers a lot of territory, and we are currently in the process of reorganizing materials to make what’s important to you easier to find. We would very much appreciate your letting us know where we’ve succeeded and where we still have work to do. When you have questions or comments, please send a quick email to us, Joel and Debra, and we will respond as quickly as we can—in most cases, it will be the same day. As we continue to streamline the website presentation, the links in the header will continue to work, so that those who are already familiar with them may use them in addition to the links in the new format.

If this is your first time visiting the SCS website, the First-timer’s Page may help by providing a quick overview of SCS, Energy Medicine, Neurolinguistic Programming, and the concept of holistic health and the healing process.

For the most recent information, be sure to see SCS News and More and visit our new website, Imagine Healing. If you work with those scheduled for surgery or other medical interventions, be sure to visit the SCS Surgical Support site. We belive you’ll find these sites helpful in a variety of ways. If you haven’t already, we would appreciate your Friending, Following, and Liking us on Facebook and Twitter.

Although we are still new at using social media, you can stay current with SCS by joining the SCS and Imagine Healing pages on Facebook: SCS-Matters-LLC and Imagine Healing. Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter. Joel tweets from SCSMattersLLC, and Debra tweets from debrabasham

Enjoy exploring.

Subtle Communication Systems (SCS) combines the best of Energy Medicine with the best of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis for unprecedented results. Although most of our workshops focus on one of the subtle communication systems, the overlap is unavoidable.

Because language is a form of energy and thoughts and feelings are intertwined, your sensitivity to the Energy will make NLP more effective for you. Also, your understanding the impact of language on the Human Energy Field will enhance the effects of your Energy-based interventions.

One of the most interesting byproducts of the intersection of linguistics and Energy through SCS is the facilitation of intuitive abilities. Intuition is, after all a subtle communication system, and the combination of sensitivity to neurolinguistics with sensitivity to the subtle energies of the Human Energy Field, often produces remarkable insights.

Stay current with SCS by subscribing to our Beyond Mastery Newsletter. Subscription is a two-step process requiring confirmation to help ensure that only those who really want to receive the newsletter are on the monthly mailing list.

Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, with SCS skills you can do more with less. Small changes really do produce infinite results.

We began working together in 1999, when we discovered that the combination of Bowman’s background in NLP and hypnosis and Basham’s background in bioenergy medicine allowed us to achieve remarkable results in therapeutic and interpersonal situations. We discovered that most of the information people exchange in most communication situations remains below their level of conscious awareness and that the way to increase human understanding and communication effectiveness is by developing an appreciation for communication subtleties.

Our work together over the past ten years has amply demonstrated that the human energy field is an important and often overlooked factor in the communication process. Much nonverbal behavior originates in the subtle energy field, and the information that causes many (and probably most) problems in the communication process is stored in and expressed through the subtle energy system. Health—whether individual or in relationships and whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual—necessitates an understanding of the mind-body connection and the ways in which bodily systems interact with each other, with the bodily systems of others, and with the environment.
