The scientific exploration of meditation reveals the biochemical and neurological changes that occur through consistent practise.
Meditation is an ancient discipline that dates back millennia. The translation of the word meditation, or ‘Gom’ from Tibetan scriptures, means to become familiar with. This cultivation of holistic self-awareness is the foundation of both emotional and social intelligence.
Throughout this workshop we will be exploring meditation through the lens of the most up-to-date Neuroscientific research, alongside recent interpretations from the field of Interpersonal Neurobiology. We will apply techniques from Focused Attention Meditation, Open Monitoring Meditation, Compassion Meditation and Loving Kindness Meditation; practises which have been shown to positively impact specific neural networks and lead to the up-regulation of affective brain states (wholesome emotions).
This workshop is for people wanting to:
Transforming disempowering emotions;
Develop resilience and grit;
Elevate their level of awareness!
Attendees will be guided through a number of practises and will leave with:
A more in-depth understanding of the mind and body, and how both operate synergistically to create well-being;
A step-by-step process to begin their own journey of meditation;
An insight into the world of Neuroscience and real life application!
