Everyone suffers from an attention 'deficit' occasionally, but we don't all need Ritalin! Presented is a fresh and compelling view of attention as a psycho-physical process requiring biochemical balance, emotional equilibrium and Will Power.

An overview of chronobiology, alternative calendars and views of time, kronos and kairos, and "solar nutrition" (eating on time). An exciting and "revolutionary" subject!
Recent Research on Brain States demonstrates that at a basic level, our experience is filtered through various physical brain states - including brain waves - (alpha, theta, delta and beta) and emotional (limbic) state-dependencies. Offered will be a map of Consciousness and ideas on using the map to control your own brain states.
The eyes are not only the windows to the soul, they are part of the brain and reflect many physical and emotional processes of the individual.

A fascinating overview of the history of reading followed by a discussion of the evolution of the human species through the act of reading.

Presents a compelling new high-performance system of reading and study for the busy adult.
All esoteric religious traditions have methods for reading their sacred texts that allow the practitioner to enter into a profound and transformational relationship with the meaning and to perceive the greater reality that is referred to in the texts.

Drawing from Sufi, Tibetan Buddhist and Christian monastic traditions, we will look at altered states, prayer, and contemplation as well as strategies for discernment and memorization. David will also demonstrate neural- visual activation and de-stress techniques, and present an overview of high-performance reading and study for the 21st century.
Actualization Work is a real, useful, potent psychophysical process for healing and change in a personal growth framework. It is biologically sound and culturally appropriate.
