Managing Self, Managing awareness ; realizing your true
nature through Attention Training.
One can spend a life searching for one’s true nature. One can miss
altogether the nature of the searcher. Of all the variables associated
with the searcher, the way he attends-- the attention he brings to the
search --is most critical. If he goes chasing his true nature with a
narrow focused atention, he’ll never get to realize other forms of
attention, which is the object of the search. The object of the search is
to realize his self. but Self is a composite of a multiplicity of forms of
attention.
-
The
participant will be exposed to various parameters of attention and will be
guided through experiential exercises which enable participants to actually
experience forms of attention discussed in the didactic part of the lecture.
Attentional flexibility and its applications to personal and clinical settings
will be discussed

Peak Awareness Training.
In this workshop, techniques of self-regulation will be explored along with
concepts derived from cognitive therapy and Zen to provide a new view of what
can be accomplished in treatment. It will be suggested that, while the West
has done a good job of finding ways to mend a broken self, in the East they
have done a better job of addressing the problem of the self itself.
- Also, participants will be asked
to question why so much emphasis is being placed upon "performance"
enhancement in light of Western biases toward "production", while
there has been less attention to "awareness" enhancement. We will
explore the concept of "liberation psychotherapy" as a way of
transforming oneself and society. (2 hours)

Barbara Soutar WS2B
Feminine Spirituality and the Roots of Balance.
Anthropological studies indicate
that feminine aspects of spirituality are also different than the masculine
aspects. Joseph Campbell found that tradiitonal cultures typically acknowledged
that each of us has masculine as well as feminine aspects that come together to
define who we are as an individual. Carl Jung called them the anima and the
animus. Learning to still the mind as in meditation is a powerful tool for the
masculine aspects of mind, but there are other important aspects which are often
overlooked and which reflect the feminine aspects of spiritual transformation.
It is important to take these into account to insure a balanced growth of the
spirit. From a shamanic perspective spiritual growth encompasses the "all
that we are." Both the masculine and the feminine aspects. The ying and the
yang. The positive and Negative. They must be nurtured equally. |

Anna Wise THEORETICAL
ASPECTS OF THE AWAKENED MIND - From Protocol to Matrix
We
have a finely woven, intricate interrelationship of brainwave frequencies
that delicately determines our states of conscious- ness. Being able to
alter the combination of beta, alpha, theta, and delta in both hemi- spheres
is an intrinsic part of developing the self-mastery that leads to a High
Performance Mind. Using the Mind MirrorTM EEG for BF and biomonitoring, and
different methods of medita- tion, sensualization and deep psychophysio-
logical relaxation, High Performance Mind brainwave training takes place in
two formats: one-on-one consultation or group training.
- Both formats can use
a generalized multi-step protocol. The individualization of this protocol
takes the linear format of this model and turns it into a personalized
matrix that can assist both the practitioner and the client in the process
of brainwave training for the awakened mind.
- Anna Wise
bio: has taught biofeedback meditation and brainwave training for over
twenty years and has led workshops and seminars throughout the United
States, and in Europe, Asia, and South America. She is the leading authority
on the use of the Mind Mirror TM EEG to measure and train brainwaves for
high-performance and meditative states. Author of The High-Performance Mind
- Mastering Brainwaves for Insight, Healing, and Creativity, she has also
created cassette tapes of the same name for brainwave development and
mastery using guided meditations, music and frequencies. Anna collaborated
with Dr. Andrew Weil and is the Frequency Composer of Sound Body Sound Mind,
the CD double album released early 1998. Anna makes her home in Marin
County, California with her son John.

(experiential & didactic) REGULATING
DIMENSIONALITY: A LEARNABLE SKILL
- Complex non-linear systems thrive and
evolve most rapidly in the dynamic boundary zone between the rigid
predictability of order and the total randomness of chaos. Here very minimal
stimuli can cause rapid whole-system shifts, which we experience as peak
experiences and optimal functioning. It is here that the human brain and
body-mind systems have the greatest capacity for healing, self-organization,
creative exploration, transcendence, insight and evolution.
- A signature
characteristic of highly functional complex systems is a high level of
dimension- ality --a measure of flexibility, complexity, unpredictability,
richness, "depth," and range of movement. Control of
dimensionality is a learnable skill. There's now evidence that such tools as
NF, light-sound, microcurrent stimulation, psychoacoustic programs and so
on, can increase or alter dimensionality of mind-body systems on many
levels, and can train users to self-regulate dimensionality.
- Such dimensionality
effects may be a key to the personal and clinical benefits of these tools
and techniques in such areas as: alpha- theta, SMR, beta, flexibility and
brain symmetry-asymmetry training; treatment of drug and alcohol addiction,
anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADD, PMS, brain damage, and age-related cognitive
impairment; boosting immune function; mastering peak performance and flow
states; and enhancement of memory, learning, and creativity.
- In this workshop, we
will experience firsthand the effects of several types of these
technologies. We will explore the uses of photic entrainment/ disentrainment
or light- sound systems in several sessions, including alpha-theta, beta,
and flexibility training; and will discuss specific details concerning
appropriate programs, frequencies.
- We will experience a
number of psycho- acoustic programs and discuss how you can use binaural
beats tracks and other psycho- acoustic techniques to create effective audio
programs. We will also demonstrate and discuss the uses of microcurrent
electrical stimulation, including recent findings that specific devices, and
specific sites of electrode placement, can produce rapid neurochemical
changes, and dramatic increases in EEG dimensionality. We explore the
benefits of and techniques for linking and potentiating these systems with
NF.
- Among the tools and techniques we will
explore are:
- BRAINWAVE ENTRAINMENT AND
DISENTRAINMENT TECHNIQUES
- Discussion and demonstration of devices
for producing rapid changes in brainwave frequencies and patterns through
entrainment and disentrainment. We will also explore evidence that these
systems can increase brainwave dimensionality, and discuss using these tools
to regulate dimensionality.
- LIGHT/SOUND SYSTEMS. Demonstration of
how these devices work. Summary of research, and discussion of clinical
successes in treating ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, brain
damage, stroke, PMS etc.
- PSYCHOACOUSTIC STIMULATION.
Demonstration of binaural beats and other psychoacoustic sound-generation
techniques, to explore how sounds can alter brainwaves and induce optimal
performance states. Discussion of how participants can create effective
psychoacoustic programs for clients.
- MICROCURRENT STIMULATION. Demonstration
of state-of-the-art nonlinear microcurrent stimulators. Summary of research.
Discussion of evidence that such stimulation is effective in boosting
brainwave dimensionality, cognitive functioning, learning, and memory, as
well as treating drug and alcohol addiction, head injuries, anxiety,
depression, insomnia, and more.

Joe Kamiya: Biofeedback, Social Interaction
& Consciousness
- The science of human life will be
grossly incomplete until human subjective experience, consciousness and
knowledge are understood in a unified theoretical framework that encompasses
both the physiological substrates of subjective experience as well as the
social interaction network of which the person is a part. The task of
developing such a unified theory is daunting; some say it is in principle
impossible.
- What I will try to do is help specify the kind of scientific problem we
are confronting, point out likely strategies and tactics that would help
provide improved ways to describe subjective experience, and suggest how
the physiological data can help in ordering the subjective information. I
believe that considering the evolutionary origins of human consciousness
and knowledge will help provide perspective, and some speculations are
offered. The topics to be covered are:
- (1) The conceptual status of subjective experience in the world of
objective reality.
- (2) The role of convergent indicators in supporting inferences about
subjective experience.
- (3) The dethronement of verbal report as the sole indicator of
subjective experience.
- (4) The central role that certain kinds of biofeedback training can play
as a basic science tool in the science of consciousness. Example: EEG
alpha discrimination training.
- (5) The tools needed for refining in a quantitative way the dimensions
of human subjective experience: multidimensional psychophysics aligned
with multidimensional psychophysiology.
- (6) The social aspect of human consciousness and methods for gaining new
insights into this central feature of the scientific problem.
- (7) The question of whether all processes of consciousness, including
the most profound spiritual experiences, can be understood as having
evolved from more primitive forms of life. How spiritual experiences have
influenced social interaction and organization, particularly in the
education of the young.
- (8) Speculations about evolution and awareness and knowledge.
- The potential for all knowledge, including mathematical and scientific
(but also including self-awareness and the direct perception of the
subjective states of others) appears to have evolved since the Big Bang
from the interactions of the components of an orderly material world and
later social world. Retention of that orderliness in the central nervous
system through evolutionary processes has at the human level produced a
payoff in survival rates via the capacity for reflection and
introspection. Special attention will be directed to the proposition that
mathematical knowledge is discovered by both observation of the external
world and introspection of relevant regularities built into brain
processes in the course of evolution. On this view mathematical discovery
is a process of recognition of patterns of orderliness built into brain,
with the triggering of recognition being facilitated by education. The
delight experienced from "elegant solutions" may have much more
ancient origins than we have suspected.
- (9) The application of the same line of thought to science, both
objective and personal. Research is needed to expand our information on
how far evolution has endowed us with latent knowledge of the physical
world, knowledge waiting to be triggered by the experiments we conduct.
The fact that our bodies conduct the equivalent of differential equations
when we learn to catch a ball may help explain how we have developed laws
of motion. We have universal capacities for recognizing emotion. What else
in social perception and cognition has genetics given us? The conditions
- favoring personal knowledge development are another area for study.
- Meditation may be fruitfully considered along these lines, with the aid
of those who have done it for a substantial part of their lives.
(10) How advances in
biofeedback technology of the future may help us come closer to understanding
the knowledge and awareness processes and the social matrix in which they
reside. Just as the source of the Nile was found, why not the source of
consciousness and knowledge? We may need to expand our view of the natural
selection process to proceed further. If only we could find a way to live long
enough to see how credible these speculations are!

Brain Optimizing nutrients & herbs
- Specific supplements can be used for enhancing mood, memory, and mental
performance, and to forestall aging-induced deterioration of mental
functioning. These vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs are also useful
in treating such conditions as depression, anxiety, and ADD, where they
correct the underlying metabolic imbalances.
- These nutrients may be combined with neurofeedback for optimal results.
- Goals: To inform participants about the use of specific supplements for :
- 1. enhancing mood, memory and overall mental functioning.
- 2. protection of the aging brain
- 3. correcting the metabolic
imbalances underlying many common psychiatric conditions
WA-13-4 Liana Mattulich The Inner Key Training Method
Inner Key has carefully selected
the best from the precision tools of modern science and has distilled them
with the greatest truths of ancient wisdom in a unique blend of interactive
and transformative power. This workshop offers the participant a rare
opportunity to learn a method of extraordinarily skillful and compassionate
healing/ transformation for oneself and for one’s clients. Our overall
purpose at Inner Key is to allow individuals to create new paradigms of
vital transformation, providing the best potential for developing optimal
states of being.
The training of Inner Key combines eastern techniques with cutting-edge
biofeedback technology. This integration allows individuals to actualize
their awareness to improve quality of life.
The Inner Key system consists of:
balancing the autonomic system
bilaterally at the meridian points as monitored with biofeedback. Its
purpose is to store the right energy in preparation for transformation.
Ÿwith the right intention,
harmonizing the breath and the heart rate rhythms and the phi ratio (golden
proportion) in frontal EEG sites.
Ÿconsidering EEG frequencies
individually to find what is unique to each person.
Ÿattaining phi ratio (golden
proportion) between frequencies at EEG cranial meridian points (similar to
10-20 International System sites, but individualized).
Ÿutilizing audio-visual aids to
give the individual scientific information for clear understanding of what
he/she is working toward.
Ÿusing analogies and metaphors to
access and process subconscious materials and occupy the "monkey
mind." Also, to open Inner Keys of optimal functioning.
Ÿboosting the immune system by
using tactile vibration in special mathematical sequences.
Ÿancient symbolic language, for
integrating a person as a multisensory dimensional being into the optimal
toroidal energy field pattern.
Ÿimplementing a superior capacity for
awareness and flexible action in daily life by using specific movements that
link the quality of energies with the right timing.
The workshop will offer experiential and didactic material that can be
introduced in your daily professional practice and personal life. Theory,
criterion in the stages of training, exercises, proper hookup sites and case
examples are included.
We will see Inner Key as a tool to empower self, clients and community
with a greater sense of connection and clarity of purpose.
We will consider Inner Keys for
vital transformation as our human right to choose a healthy, efficient,
flexible and happy quality of life in communion with the larger reality (the
Web of Life).

Sue Othmer Balancing Brain Function
Discussion of current ideas in
neurophysiology regarding mechanisms of self-regulation and self-awareness. We
will look at different levels of the central nervous system involved in
conscious and subconscious processing, learning, and behavioral response.
Neurofeedback protocols will be discussed that address deficits in the
self-regulation of alertness and attention, emotions, muscle tone and
coordination, and also the release of subconscious memories and behavior
patterns. Possible brain mechanisms involved in these changes will be
presented.

Karl Pribram Brain and Conscious Experience;
Where are We? Adventures in Brain Science: The first 50 yrs.
Highlights of discoveries in my

for active discussion.
The following points will be raised for discussion: 1. All knowledge
originates from conscious experience. So why do some philosophers insist
that only selective aspects of conscious experience pose a "hard
problem?"
2. At least three levels of consciousness can be made out, and to some
extent brain processes have been determined for each. The evidence for
these processing levels will be discussed.
(Dr. Pribram regaled the
attendees with some amazing stories of his life’s work with some of the
famous neuroscientists in history. People left this lecture with big smiles on
their faces-- charmed by hearing a major chunk of brain research history.

This workshop reviews the latest research from our laboratory on the
possibility of survival of consciousness after death. Research includes (1)
"from here to there and back again" - a study involving two
mediums and four"departed hypothesized coinvestigators", (2)
research using energy cardiology measures, involving 5 members of our
"dream team" of superstar mediums, and (3) possible spirit
communication using random event generator-type devices. Implications for
spirit assisted medicine and what Linda Russek calls "soul
family therapy" are discussed.
Objectives:
1. Explain how research involves collaboration between here and there.
2. Explain how EEG and ECG measures can be used to explore alternative
hypotheses.
3. Consider implications for
clinical work in psychotherapy and energy medicine

Al Collins Buddhism, the Yogic Self, and
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback, like all
biofeedback, is a technology of self regulation. The word "self"
in this definition is crucial in understanding what neurofeedback is. The kind
of self that is understood to be doing the regulating (or being regulated)
differs from one theory of neurofeedback to another. I will propose a
taxonomy of neurofeedback theories based on how they understand the self and
its role in the process. Because the deepest and most accurate analysis of
the self has been done in the Indian and Chinese psychologies of bondage and
self realization, I will use these ideas as a basic grid or framework for
understanding the self's place in neurofeedback. Western psychological
theories of the self will also be briefly reviewed, including Bandura's self
efficacy theory, Rogers' and Gendlin's anti-self theories, Jung's
distinction between ego and self, and Kohut's biploar self theory. Finally,
I will apply Western and Eastern self ideas to the controversy over whether
the brain, and therefore neurofeedback, is "linear" or
"chaotic."
There are at least three types of self in neurofeedback theories:
1. Self as ego (gaining self efficacy or self control)
2. Self as witness (learning to act while not claiming the
"fruits" of action)
3. Self as no-self (reorganization outside self awareness)
In yogic and Buddhist terms, these correspond to the Sanskrit words
ahamkara, Purusa, and Buddha. We will discuss these concepts and apply
them. At this point I believe that most neurofeedback based on QEEG,
decreasing theta/beta ratios, and frontal lobe mastery falls into the self
as ego category. Val Brown's and Len Ochs' theories, and perhaps ROSHI,
seem to fall into the self as no-self group. Jeff Carmen's HEG, possibly
ROSHI, and Anna Wise's Mind Mirror seem to belong in the self as witness
category. I will discuss the role of the frontal lobes (especially left
prefrontal) as the locus of the self (ego, possibly witness) and contrast
this with the "global synchrony" no-self ideas that are not
interested in localization and in fact implicitly subordinate the self to
a wider organization. It is the no-self perspective that most naturally
aligns itself with chaos theory and nonlinearity of the nervous system and
neurotherapy.
Goals: To clarify what
"self regulation" means in neurofeedback (and biofeedback generally)
and to make explicit the implications that different understandings of
"self" have for theories and practice of neurofeedback.

Adam Crane Performance/Life
Enhancement Training Integrating Biofeedback With special Emphasis on
Neurofeedback
One
of the most promising trends emerging in healthcare is assisting functional
people in becoming more functional and treating subclinical symptoms.
Performance Enhance- ment will probably grow exponentially in the near
future. Neurofeedback opens a niche allowing practitioners expansion into
this area. We have been Providing Performance Enhancement training since the
1970s (executives, writers, musicians, actors, models, athletes, etc.)
enabling the development of heuristic strategies embodied in The Process(tm).
The Process,
designed to appeal to the "Actualizer" segment of the Value Added
Lifestyle Survey, targets business, sports, education, art, and personal
growth. "Actualizers" are trend setters, practice builders and the
group most responsible for the evolution of biofeedback, integrative,
complementary and alternative medicine.
This innovative
combination of strategies seeks to solve the problems attendant to
delivering NF / Performance Enhancement Training to the public individually
and in small groups using qualified practitioners, inexpensive personal EEG
trainers (with or without computerized systems) and a powerful, heuristic
program designed to stand on its own with or without Neurofeedback.
The Sense of Mission
is enhanced by synthesizing Logotherapy, Psychology of Mind (Awareness),
Quantum Physics, Chaos and Systems Theory, The New Economics, Voluntary
Simplicity, Profound Attention, Exercise.
We will discuss
techniques for working with difficult EEG clients, integration of computer-
ized Neurofeedback and Synchrony training. Demonstrations subject to time
and equipment availability.
Goals of this
workshop include presenting our rationale for the surge of interest in BF
assisted MindFitness programs and going as deeply as possible into the
philosophy behind and architecture of The Process training strategies and
business models .

Anna Wise THEORETICAL
ASPECTS OF THE AWAKENED MIND - From Protocol to Matrix
We
have a finely woven, intricate interrelationship of brainwave frequencies
that delicately determines our states of conscious- ness. Being able to
alter the combination of beta, alpha, theta, and delta in both hemi- spheres
is an intrinsic part of developing the self-mastery that leads to a High
Performance Mind. Using the Mind MirrorTM EEG for BF and biomonitoring, and
different methods of medita- tion, sensualization and deep psychophysio-
logical relaxation, High Performance Mind brainwave training takes place in
two formats: one-on-one consultation or group training.
Both formats can use
a generalized multi-step protocol. The individualization of this protocol
takes the linear format of this model and turns it into a personalized
matrix that can assist both the practitioner and the client in the process
of brainwave training for the awakened mind.
Anna Wise
bio: has taught biofeedback meditation and brainwave training for over
twenty years and has led workshops and seminars throughout the United
States, and in Europe, Asia, and South America. She is the leading authority
on the use of the Mind Mirror TM EEG to measure and train brainwaves for
high-performance and meditative states. Author of The High-Performance Mind
- Mastering Brainwaves for Insight, Healing, and Creativity, she has also
created cassette tapes of the same name for brainwave development and
mastery using guided meditations, music and frequencies. Anna collaborated

Comprehensive Neurofeedback Program for Optimal Performance
This workshop describes 11 protocols
for optimal performance training, the research behind the design of the
protocols, and the populations that would benefit from them. Case studies
will demonstrate the efficacy of these protocols. In addition, this workshop
discusses the personal and financial benefits of utilizing these protocols
to develop an independent training adjunct to one's business, as well as the
steps to doing so.
- WA-39-2 James Hardt Accelerated Spiritual Growth Through The Advanced
Biocybernaut Process
- The Biocybernaut Training Process is a high tech intensive vision quest
that evokes transformation of personality and accelerates spiritual growth.
Participants will learn the required technology and be introduced to the
methods for the experiential application of this advanced brain energy
training.
- The means of achieiving spiritual growth are well known: quieting the
mind, stilling the internal dialogues, and opening our hearts. The benefits
of the ancient wisdom are made virbantly real and personal in your life when
you actually quiet your mind and open your heart. But exhortation and
meditation are both very slow routes to these attainments. We know that
technoogy speeds things up, and now there is an optimized technology for
spiritual growth that assists you in rapidly quieting your mind, stilling
your internal dialogues, and opening your heart. This powerful technology
and method offers many of the attainments of 20 to 40 years of meditation in
a 7-day brain energy feedback intensive. Joy, peace, love, and exhilaration
are the natural results of the Biocybernaut Training Process along with
increased creativity, happiness, motivation, and possibily also significant
increases in IQ.
Information about the brain
energy patterns underlying halos, the perception of astral plane beings (e.g.
angels), forgiveness, happiness and mind skills such as creativity, IQ, and
ESP will be discussed. When the underlying brain energy patterns are known,
training the associated mind skills becomes easy with Biocybernaut technology

Barbara & Richard Soutar A Shaman's Guide to Neurofeedback; The Convergence of Ancient & Modern
Technologies of Human TransformationThrough the explorations of investigators such as Carlos Castenada and
Lynn Andrews the paradigms of shamanism are being recoverd and made
accessible to modern man. What they reveal is a previously unsuspected
sophistication with regard to their intent, their technology, and their
ontology. As modern psychology has begun to focus more intently on states of
consiousness and their neurological correlates, surprising parallels have
emerged between ancient and modern systems of thought. Such convergences are
noted by Elmer Green between his work and that of Patanjali. Many ancient
systems provide maps to consciousness and tools for transformation that we
are only beginning to be able to interpret and impliment. These include the
use of trance states, visualization, guided meditation, and
psycho-acoustics. Also of importance are symbolism and dream interpretations
as well as how these phenomena relate to synchronicity.
In this workshop Barbara and Richard Soutar will explore the relationship
between modern theories of psychological disorder and their neurological
underpinnings and relate them to traditional theories involving chakra
systems, the four directions, and energy balancing. Neurofeedback and
biofeedback in conjunction with AVS will be discussed as tools for balancing
the energies of the human nervous system from a shamanistic perspective with
a special focus on alpha and theta training. There will also be considerable
discussion of the rational for this approach based on neuropysiological
considerations for those who wish to brush up on brain anatomy as it relates
to neurofeedback.
Workshop Objectives
Participants will review the history of traditional techniques of
counseling and human transformation and learn why neurofeedback as a
technique also requires a comprehensive and cohesive cognitive program of
training and development for greatest effectiveness.
Participants will learn how to effectively interpret traditional and
religious perspectives from a modern psychological perspective and identifiy
how they can compromise or facilitate neurofeedback processes as they relate
to human transformation paradigms.
Participants will learn specific visualization exercises and techniques
for integration of traditional modalities of intervention with modern
neurofeedback protocols.
Participants will learn new methods for interpreting hypnogogic imagery
and abreactions resulting from neurofeedback interventions.
Participants will learn what
the traditional tools of intervention are and how they can be used in
conjunction with neurofeedback training.

Mythic Imagination
Into the Dragon’s Lair:
Delta, Theta, and the Mythic Unconscious (didactic /Experiential.)
Myth is the secret opening through which the
inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation.
Joseph Campbell
In a tripartite model of consciousness, the Mandukya Upanishad shows us that
sleep and dreaming exist on a continuum with waking consciousness, rather than
discrete states as proposed by Western Psychology. The "A" in AUM
refers to waking consciousness, the "U" to what is called
"self-luminous" would of dreams, and "M" to deep sleep.
There is a fourth and soundless state that penetrates all of them, and an
advanced yogi is said to be able to negotiate all of these states (the turiya)
with continuity of consciousness.
This consciousness-based idea powerfully infused the thinking of Joseph
Campbell, much of his later scholarship, and Campbell also discussed it with
Carl Jung (we describe the encounter in A Fire in the Mind: the Life of Joseph
Campbell, Doubleday 1991). Jung, actually an early biofeedback researcher,
brought in the idea of "the self- liberating power of the introverted
mind." In an exquisitely "soft" form of BF, called the "autosymbolic
method," we introduce participants to a methodology based on our own mythic
imagery. Experiential exercises include visiting early states of consciousness,
inner vision quest, shamanic encounter, and outlining a personal mythology. The
further "within," we travel, the more mythic, or "arche- typal"
becomes the phenomenology of the imagery and experiences that are encount- ered.
We find ourselves on a shamanic journey to the underworld. Usually in the
encounter with darkness there are also hidden spirit helpers, and treasures and
mysteries to be opened. One returns to the daylight world with gifts-- for the
self and other, and a revitalized sense of meaning
