Workshop Overview:
Meditation is an ancient discipline, but scientists have only recently developed tools sophisticated enough to see what goes on in your brain when you meditate.
Using a Spectral Analysis EEG monitor (electroencephalography), we will explore the beta, alpha, theta and delta brainwave categories and their relationship to states of consciousness. The subtle and individualized combination of these brainwave patterns can be identified and trained for enhanced states of self-mastery and creativity.
You will receive a brainwave profile of your own meditative state along with practices you can continue for yourself and your clients for optimum brainwave and consciousness development.
"...after training in meditation for eight weeks, subjects showed a pronounced change in brain wave patterns, shifting from the alpha waves of aroused, conscious thought to the theta waves that dominate the brain during deep relaxation." Time Magazine, August 4, 2003
Workshop Objectives:
This will be a theoretical and experiential training where you will enhance your ability to:
1. Understand and experience the four categories of brainwave patterns and the effects of meditation on each of these patterns
2. Decrease your physiological arousal by deep relaxation
3. Have an experiential understanding of the six levels of subjective consciousness
4. Increase the vividness of your visual and sensual imagery
5. Access resources from your subconscious and unconscious mind for greater creativity and solving emotional problems

We will explore a particular relationship pattern of brain waves called the Awakened Mind State in which--as stated by Anna Wise-- "the mind is clearer, sharper, quicker, and more flexible than ordinary states. Thinking feels fluid rather than rigid. Emotions become more available and understandable, easier to work with and transform. Information flows more easily between the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious levels. Intuition, insight, and empathy increase and become more integrated into normal consciousness."
