The Nervous System Map – Free Training with Robby Besner of Therasage and Dr. Patrick Porter of BrainTap
If you already have red light, infrared, sound, PEMF, breathwork, or other wellness tools in your life, you may have noticed something puzzling: the same approach can feel useful one day and completely wrong for you another. The question may be less about finding another tool and more about knowing what fits the state you are actually in.
This masterclass offers a map rather than another one-size-fits-all routine. Allie Chandler’s Emotional Current Scale organizes nine emotional currents and uses them as a practical framework for thinking about which kinds of nervous-system inputs may make sense at different moments.
Alongside Dr. Patrick Porter of BrainTap and Robby Besner of Therasage, Allie will explore two distinct routes into regulation: body-first inputs such as heat, light, pressure, and vibration, and brain-first approaches involving sound, frequency, and guided attention.
You’ll also look at how technologies such as red light, near-infrared, brainwave entrainment, PEMF, and grounding are discussed and measured, so you can think more clearly about timing, effort, and tool selection instead of relying on the same recommendation every time.
Why Attend “The Nervous System Map: Body-First and Brain-First Regulation for Every State”

It is easy to accumulate useful tools without ever developing a reliable way to decide when to use each one. When the same routine seems to land differently from one day to the next, a state-based framework can offer a more useful question than simply asking which tool is considered “best.”
Allie Chandler created the Emotional Current Scale after her own experience of trying protocols and approaches while dealing with chronic Lyme, mold toxicity, and POTS. Her perspective is informed by more than a decade inside functional medicine and by the practical problem of matching an intervention to the state and energy available in the moment.
Dr. Patrick Porter and Robby Besner bring complementary experience from brainwave technology and infrared technology. Together, the three teachers can compare body-first and brain-first approaches while helping you look beyond blanket recommendations toward timing, sequencing, effort, and individual state.
What You’ll Learn
We’ll begin with the Emotional Current Scale, so you can understand the nine currents and the idea of looking at the state you have been living in rather than reacting only to how you feel in a single moment. You’ll see how this map connects each current with both a body-first and a brain-first option.
From there, you’ll explore why body-first and brain-first inputs enter the nervous system through different routes, which means the same approach does not have to be the default for every state. The session also introduces the effort rule, so that the amount of energy you have available becomes part of choosing what to reach for.
Along the way, Dr. Patrick Porter and Robby Besner will help unpack the mechanics and research behind several widely used technologies, and then the discussion will connect those tools back to the map. You’ll also be shown one move you can make without buying anything, so the framework is not limited to devices or products.
- How the Emotional Current Scale organizes nine distinct nervous-system states
- The difference between body-first and brain-first routes into regulation
- Why the same tool may land differently for different people or at different times
- How red light and near-infrared differ by wavelength and depth of penetration
- What distinguishes infrared heat from conventional heat
- How Dr. Patrick Porter will explain brainwave entrainment and the frequency-following response
- What the session will examine about heart rate variability and other research measures
- How PEMF, pressure, and grounding fit into the broader tool map
- Why the effort rule matches an input to the energy you have available rather than only to a symptom
- A body-first and a brain-first option for each current from Stagnant through Radiant
Who This Is For
This event may be especially useful if you have invested in wellness tools, built routines, or experimented with different approaches and still wonder why something seems to fit one week and not another. It is also relevant if you want a clearer framework before adding another device or technique to what you already use.
Practitioners who recommend tools to clients may also find the state-matching framework useful, particularly if they want to think beyond giving everyone the same recommendation. The teaching begins with the core map and then moves into specific technologies, so both curious newcomers and people already familiar with nervous-system tools can follow the conversation.
- People who already use red light, infrared, sound, PEMF, grounding, or other regulation tools
- Anyone who has noticed the same routine can feel different from one day to another
- People who want a clearer reason for choosing one approach over another
- Those interested in understanding body-first and brain-first regulation
- People curious about the Emotional Current Scale and its nine-current framework
- Practitioners who recommend wellness technologies or regulation tools to clients
- Anyone interested in separating research findings from broad marketing claims
About Allie Chandler
Allie Chandler is the founder of Upsell Health and the creator of the Emotional Current Scale. She previously served as Head of Marketing at Microbiome Labs and Head of Content at CellCore Biosciences, giving her more than a decade of experience inside functional medicine.
At 26, Allie was bedbound while dealing with chronic Lyme, mold toxicity, and POTS. Her experience of having extensive protocols, professional connections, and wellness tools without finding a consistent fit led her to focus on a different question: how to match the tool to the state a person is actually in.
She built the Emotional Current Scale around that state-matching approach. In this masterclass, the scale becomes the organizing map for nine currents, each paired with both a body-first and a brain-first option.
Allie is joined by Dr. Patrick Porter of BrainTap, who has spent more than three decades working with brainwave and light-and-sound technology and co-developed a consumer light-and-sound machine in 1989, and Robby Besner of Therasage, who has spent two decades working with infrared technology. Their combined perspectives allow the session to examine the nervous system from both body-first and brain-first directions.
