Neuroaffective Meditations
Wholeness in each moment: NeuroAffective meditations for spiritual practice and everyday life.
In this 4-day training, Marianne Bentzen will blend neuro-affective theory, guided meditations, movement and group processs.
The quality of our lives exists not in the events that we experience, but in how we engage with those events. During good times and bad, practicing – playing with – a sense of listening or surrendering in the direction of Grace, of the Wholeness in Life, can help us to rest in a deeper current of awareness.
The awareness practices will start with deepening our sense of the three levels of the triune brain and the aliveness they hold:
- In the autonomic nervous system – deepening our sense of vitality and arousal regulation
- In the limbic system – resting with emotions, heart feelings and relationships
- In the prefrontal cortex – exploring how thoughts, images, insights and narratives dance in the spaciousness of our mind.
- guided meditations to deepen and refine the awareness and presence of the participants,
- balancing energy exercises and compassion exercises for everyday use
- meditative interaction processes
- an ancient archetypal mandala exercise for balancing the nervous system
- brief lectures on meditation, trauma and the triune brain
- plenum dialogues about theory and experiences
