Meditative and Mindfulness Techniques-Rewiring the Brain

The purpose of meditation is to enter a deep state of mind in which you are relaxed and aware, often by focusing on a single point of reference. This practice dates back to antiquity and has been practiced inside and outside of religious and spiritual traditions. There are many different meditative disciplines which focus on different goals, such as increasing focus or creativity, or entering into a more relaxed state of mind.

Some of the behavioral components of meditation include: relaxation and concentration, altered states of awareness, and suspension of logical thought. This accompanies many biological changes, such as altered metabolism and changes in heart rate and breathing. In clinical settings, meditation may be used for pain management and stress reduction.

Another valuable component of mind practices is the rewiring of nerve pathways, also known as neuroplasticity: giving new shapes to connections that form, strengthening new ones, and collapsing those that we don’t need anymore.

Our preferred methods:

  • Meditation is one of the best techniques to re-train the brain, by increasing the capacity to focus, to release old, undesirable stress, and to manage current stress. It helps to build new memory networks, increases the communication between neurons, and assists with learning. 
  • EMDR is an excellent technique to process and re-process old emotional learning, which is the basis for healing from both recent PTSD (fresh trauma) and CPTSD (childhood trauma background).
  • Coherence Therapy with powerful techniques creates new connections in the brain while re-consolidating old memories into new memory networks. 
  • Emotional Freedom Technique uses acupuncture points to release old conditioning
  • ‘GEM Beats’ is a frequency-based auditory therapy designed to support emotional balance, focus, and relaxation. Unlike ordinary music, it uses carefully crafted sound frequencies—especially binaural beats and calming instrumental layers—to gently influence the brain and nervous system. www.gemconnect.bandcamp.com.music
  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) training is a technique that helps you learn to control your stress response to improve your overall well-being. By practicing slow, steady breathing and using biofeedback tools, you can increase the flexibility of your nervous system, making it easier to stay calm, focused, and resilient in daily life.
