The open Q & A conference call on September 14th, is approaching. Please feel free to share this with others. All are welcome and encouraged to attend this call to find out more about the Practice!
Here's what to expect:
First, join us in the conference call on September 14th, 6PM, PDT and listen as we describe The Practice and the additional benefits of applying neurofeedback techniques with your personal experience.
Next, you must decide to commit to participate in The Practice for 8 weeks. During this time, you will learn about the naturally occurring bio-chemicals within your body, how these bio-chemicals both stimulate and regulate your system to reduce stress and create a healthier more balanced daily experience in life.
Your commitment:
Practice every day for a minimum of 20 minutes
Send a brief journal entry every day following your Practice
Join in a one hour group Practice every week
Your personal 'potential for transformation' is based on your body’s natural ability to balance and transform itself. Within you is everything you need to be successful in this course. We will help you to understand the natural processes of your body so you can realize a profound state of well being.
After considering your commitment carefully, if the Practice is right for you, please register for the 8 week course starting on September 21st, 2010. We look forward to beginning this journey of personal discovery with you!

Why do we practice The Practice?
One of the byproducts of our advanced Western lifestyle is the dramatic increase of information and the sheer volume of stimuli we are exposed to throughout the course of a day. Our nervous systems are bombarded by input that is expressed as fear, anxiety, obesity, stress and disease. Most of us have forgotten how to draw on our natural mechanism for self healing the body.
When we are able to elicit alpha brain waves, supported by certain postures and breathing techniques, we trigger the parasympathetic nervous system to release endorphins, a natural hormone that gives a sense of well being, openness and ease. Once this mechanism is engaged, a feedback loop is created that will continue to support the body’s natural inclination to rest and heal itself.

Why is being in an Alpha brain wave state healthy for me?
Alpha Waves It is believed that many creative people are in Alpha state more of the time than others. Alpha waves are between 9 and 14 Hz and occur when the body is awake at rest, not asleep, and the eyes are closed. You may feel intellectual relaxation, deep relaxation or meditation when in Alpha. Alpha brainwave rhythms produce: warm hands and feet, peaceful feelings, a sense of well-being, improved academic performance, improved sleep, increased productivity in the workplace, reduced anxiety and improved immune functioning which counters the negative affects of Cortisol.
Alpha brain waves 'feel' a certain way in our experience. With the help of neurofeedback, you will learn how to find the 'feeling' of the Alpha brain waves. This feeling, may best be described as a feeling of transformational bliss. The ancients called this 'bliss' the Peace beyond understanding.
Beta Waves are fast, low amplitude waves of 15 to 30 times per second (Hz). Beta brainwave patterns are generated naturally when in an awake, focused and alert state of consciousness. In Beta we experience the stresses of our day-to-day activities. (e.g. Driving cars, shopping, paying bills, meeting deadlines.)
Theta Waves are between 4 and 8 Hz and are commonly referred to as the dream or "twilight" state. Memory development is enhanced in this state. In the Theta brainwave state, memory is improved, and access to unconscious material, sudden insight, free association and creative ideas is increased. Theta is associated with REM and dreaming states.
Delta Waves are observed when in a sleeping state. Delta waves are the slowest of brainwaves spanning from 1 to 3 Hz in frequency. As we fall asleep the dominant brainwave becomes Delta.
You will notice on the MindSet neurofeedback display, while somebody is an aroused state and exhibiting a beta brainwave pattern, there also exists in that person's brain a component of alpha, theta and delta, even though these may be present only at trace levels.
The Consciousness Experiment
Recent advances in neurofeedback technology has opened up exciting new possibilities. We can practice being in alpha brain waves for extended periods of time. Alpha brain wave states begin activating a neurochemical trigger. In the Practice we learn to 'park' the SNS (sympathetic nervous system) and activate the PSNS (parasympathetic nervous system) to release endorphins. Endorphins are the natural anti-dote to the stress hormone Cortisol.
This enables the practitioner to 'naturally' neurochemically rewire themselves entering into 'transformational bliss' - resulting in lower stress levels.
Prerequisites to Joining the Consciousness Community Experiment
(Commitment to daily Practice -- MindSet required)
Introductory -- 8 Week Practice The Practice Course (small group experiment)
Course begins, August 18th.
Advanced Course -- PracticeThePractice Invitation to participate in the Global Consciousness Experiment (large Global experiment) Enrollment date to be determined.

What are the STRESSORS that cause elevated Cortisol levels in my body?
These are a few of the daily modern 'normal' lifestyle stressors which cause stress hormones 'cortisol' to be chronically elevated.
