When I Practice, what is actually being transformed?

What is actually being transformed are the old stress memories that have been stored in neurochemical memory. The neurochemical state for transformation of consciousness is known by an ancient word called -- forgiveness.

Forgive -- to go back to that memory before it happened -- to give to yourself as before. Neuroscientists have discovered that there is a neurochemical basis for this act of Will we call 'forgiveness'.

This is what I discovered when I was alone in my cabin in 2007. I accidentally went into a deep alpha brain wave state and then released endorphins. Next, followed somatic release, tears, emotions. This is a natural healing mechanism in our bodies. It's not a mystery, nor should it be understood as mystical.

I was not afraid, many people shut down when they start feeling their pain. Over the 8 week Practice course we create a container of safety, of trust. Remember, this ability to release tension stored in neurochemical memory is a natural process.

Emotional pain, fear, is all that has not been 'forgiven' or 'released' neurochemically. When we revisit images, conversation and body sensations while in alpha brain wave states, we release the emotional charges stored in neurochemical memory. When we allow our bodies to do this, healing begins.

I'm now using the NeuroSky MindSet (neurofeedback) to teach people how to enter into alpha brain wave states and release endorphins. The emotional state of forgiveness is the neurochemical state for personal transformation.

Practicing, using neurofeedback, we learn how to elicit this emotional state, to BE with and in forgiveness. Within the act of forgiving, neuropathways are opened up and softened. We are freed from our attachment to pain. The ancients and wisdom teachers figured this out thousands of years ago.

In the Practice course you will learn to get out of the way allowing this natural process to work. Your commitment is to Practice getting out of the way 20 minutes every day.
