<b>Former title: Generating Ease in Troubled Times: Lessons from Neuroscience. </b> Breakthroughs in the field of neuroscience are giving us validation that the brain, body, mind and spirit are interconnected. In fact, there is increasing scientific evidence that we can rewire our brains to enhance our physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Participants will learn about neuroplasticity- the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout our lifetime! This ability to rewire our brains can create powerful shifts in our ability to cope, in our physical health and in our emotional reactions. This information, provided in an approachable manner, with unforgettable case studies, will be enhanced by experiential learning that will give participants the opportunity to practice empirically validated techniques that activate brain states of calm and relaxation, compassion and gratitude. Participants will learn how these brain states affect physiology. Learn to resource, rewire and regulate your body-brain (and those of your clients) for reduced stress, greater well-being and improved relationships!
