Cessation and Stillness: The Science of Inner Quiet 

Course Description: 

This advanced course explores the Quiet Mind Style of NeuroMeditation (NM), a highly effective practice for achieving mental stillness and generating an expansive awareness. It's particularly helpful for individuals dealing with states of activation, anxiety, chronic stress, sleep issues, and a "racing mind." The course provides a deep dive into the brain science behind stillness, demonstrating how Quiet Mind NM significantly increases Alpha brainwaves and Alpha Synchrony to bring quiet and calm to the entire system. Students will learn techniques to foster the internal observer, creating crucial distance from intrusive thoughts, feelings, and sensations. This practice is a profound tool for self-regulation, enabling a smooth shift into the parasympathetic rest/safe state while promoting acceptance and surrender. The curriculum emphasizes experiential learning, integrating both sitting and movement meditations to connect students with the optimal sensory routes and imagery for their unique neurobiology.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the neurological foundation of Quiet Mind NM, specifically how it increases Alpha brainwaves and contributes to systemic calming.

• Master various Quiet Mind NM techniques to bring stillness and cessation to the racing mind, effectively managing activation and dysregulation issues.

• Apply practices that strengthen the internal observer and create psychological distance from distracting or distressing mental content.

• Determine the optimal sensory route and imagery for personalizing Quiet Mind NM to quickly access a state of calm, expansive awareness and internal quiet.
