A Health-Orientated Understanding Of The Body- Mind

A Health-Orientated Understanding Of The Body-Mind

Three-part course
with Andrew Cook

This is the first in a series of two courses modules. Each course has three 1-hour sessions introducing concepts and experiences that can potentially lead to resilience.

The core of the modules is a set of simple and practical awareness exercises using both the external senses and the internal senses (interoception).

These exercises are given a very broad yet accurate-enough theoretical explanation, based on an understanding of health.  When the human nervous system is framed in terms of health it looks very different from one viewed from the point of view of pathology.  The idea is that – when we understand health, it is easy to generate more health because we know where we are going and what is of importance.  In contrast, a pathology-oriented understanding of physiology and nervous system function focuses heavily on what we are trying to get away from; and therefore has no clearly defined route back to health.

The material and its application is “non-trivial” – i.e. it cannot be understood intellectually without direct experience, the direct experience unfolds over time with application, and as there is more direct experience then there is more understanding.  Having said that, most people who attend this course will experience useful changes to their experience of Life, and gain some universally applicable life-skills.
