Research demonstrates that meditation, deep relaxation, mindfulness, self hypnosis etc, increase a person's coping ability, resilience and hope building, physiological healing and health. People appear to access: innate wisdom, strength, confidence, hope and reasonableness, and they begin doing things in their life that are so much more healthy and constructive without being directly coached to do so. New fields of applied behavioural neuroscience, psychophysiology and neurotechnologies such as brainwave biofeedback and brainwave entrainment are enabling people to gain the benefits of meditation with these safe, natural and easy to use tools without having to learn a technique.
When used repeatedly an accumulative effect is created that access people to their innate and natural inner strengths. There is an immediate benefit at the acute stage as well as long term benefits for ongoing recovery. These tools generate the greatest leverage to individual's inner strengths, which substantially enhances family and community recovery and hope building directly and indirectly by improving the impact of all behavioural/external interventions directed at individuals and groups at every stage. An opportunity in this workshop to sit down and see if you can fly through a virtual tunnel, race a car, make a flower blossom with just your brainwaves.
