IST (Inner Space Techniques) is a consciousness-based therapeutic regression process developed by Dr. Samuel Sagan and the Clairvision School. It uses meditative awareness and guided inquiry to access the deeper layers of your being — where memories, patterns, and emotions are stored. Rather than analyzing or storytelling, you experience what’s underneath, allowing what’s ready to release to naturally unwind. The result is greater clarity, freedom, and connection to your essential self.

We begin by using meditative techniques to enter a shared and connected space. From there, I, the practitoiner, guide you, the client, inward, beyond surface level thought-patterns. From there, we explore together what arises from deeper within the client. Each session is unique: clients might reconnect with memories or sensations, uncover emotional roots of a present challenge, or experience profound stillness and insight. The process is always interactive between the client the practitioner. It is invited and imperative that the client communicate any discomfort or need to slow down or pause during the session. And the client may choose to discontinue participation, and stop the session entirely, at any time.

Not at all. A guiding principle in IST is direct experience: “seeing for ourselves, and knowing for ourselves,” not on believing what anyone else says. Some IST clients access experiences that feel like memories, but that aren’t from this life/incarnation; others work with emotional or energetic imprints that are very obviously at play from and in this life and in their current reality. Regardless of how the material presents, the intent is the same — to free what’s been held or stuck, so you can live with more clarity, ease, and fullness today.

IST sessions take place with the client laying comfortably on the floor — with support and blankets, as desired — and the practitioner sitting next to them (rather than both peeople in a seated position on chairs, for example). The IST process bypasses the analytical mind and invites direct experience through utilizing meditation-based techniques to access different states of consciounsess. Instead of talking about what’s happening, you meet it from the inside — feeling, sensing, and witnessing. It’s experiential, rather than intellectual, and often integrates emotional healing, energetic awareness, and spiritual depth in one process.

If you’re drawn to deeper self-exploration, if you’ve tried other modalities and feel something is still “underneath,” or if you sense a readiness to meet yourself at new levels of awareness — IST may be a good fit. The best way to find out is through a 30-minute exploratory consult, where we connect, do a short grounding practice, and sense together if this work feels aligned.

The IST-specific work I am currently doing is available only via in person sessions in Central Oregon (or in the surrounding region, if travel for one of us makes sense). Other types of sessions I offer are available both in person and remotely via video call. If you’re interested in IST, and don’t live in Central Oregon, write to me directly at breynmarr@gmail.com to explore meeting in another city, or I can refer you to an IST practitioner in your area.
