A two day experiential workshop
as taught at the Esalen Institute, California
Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th 10am to 5pm, The Craiglands Hotel
With Awakened Mind Trainers: Donna Bach ND and Gary Groesbeck
BCIAC Fellow
High Tech meets Spirit Tech
The Awakened Mind Theory is based on the discoveries of Maxwell Cade, the British Bio-physicist who's work in the 1970's pioneered our scientific understanding of states of consciousness and particularly of meditation. Anna Wise is an American who worked with Max Cade for over ten years and has spent the last three decades measuring thousands of people on Cade's invention of the "Mind Mirror". She is the author of two books on Awakening the Mind. Donna Bach ND and Gary GroesbeckBCIAC Fellow are certified by Anna Wise as Awakened Mind trainers and have worked with her in teaching seminars for several years and in various locations, including at the famous Esalen Institute in California.
Here are just some of the scientific "adventures" you have awaiting in this personalized experience of EFT-enhanced Contemplative Neurofeedback:
The participants in the two-day workshop on Monday and Tuesday will each explore their inner Bio-landscape with pleasant guided meditations combined with EEG monitoring on the "Mind Mirror". Everyone will also be measured and trained in optimal heart coherence by being connected to the "Heart Math" equipment during this workshop. Expert training with these two monitors begins to create higher Heart/Mind integration and balance. The objective of doing this is to develop self-mastery, enhance intuition, and further personal development of healing energies, increasing health, happiness, and with practice even achieving "bliss states". This will help you transform emotional and mental energy into new satisfying feelings which will reduce pain, stress, anxiety or health symptoms that are stress related.
Awakened Mind training is assisted by Neuro-monitoring of the EEG brain waves with the Mind Mirror 3. You will be comfortably hooked up to sensors on your head and another finger monitor for checking heart coherence. In just a few relaxing sessions of guided meditations, breathing and relaxation instructions you will begin to come into a powerful body, brain and heart integration and entrainment.
Here are some of the highlights of what we will all be doing for a fun two day learning experience:
The relationship of EFT-enhanced Mindfulness meditation to the Awakened Mind/Heart state and how to apply this practice of the optimal state for personal growth and healing.
How to recognize the internal experience the different EEG states (beta, alpha, theta, delta)
Practice developing the Awakened Mind state using mindfulness and guided imagery and using this practice for high performance, creativity, and personal transformation.
How to reduce the monkey mind (beta brainwaves) and enhance the alpha/theta instead.
Basic muscle testing for training intuition and much more!
The final goal is the emergence of the Evolved Mind state which is a state of bliss, oneness, and beingness. During this two-day experiential training it is possible that at least a taste of these feelings can be enjoyed!
We would love to monitor everyone for each exercise but we are limited by time and equipment. You will be monitored in rotating groups of eight and numbers will be limited to ensure that each one has the opportunity to be monitored during the two days. Each participant will have a short baseline readout taken on the Heart Math equipment to see how well the heart is in balance. Everyone will benefit from the guided meditations, which are specifically designed to create the various brainwave states that we are looking for, even when they are not being monitored. A similar program like this is taught in California at the famous Esalen Institute and we have found that adding in the appropriate EFT portions makes the process of balancing the heart, brain waves and relaxation response much more fun, efficient and effective!
