NeuroField PEMF: The Energetic Wave of the Future (Day 1 of 2)

Pulsed Electomagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is emerging as a powerful modality in Neurofeedback practice.  In this two day course clinicians will gain an understanding of the NeuroField system’s ability to affect changes in our clients’ EEG to targeted goals, such as changes in coherence, amplitude and network functioning.  Case histories, lecture and reference materials will assist in demonstrating the ways NeuroField is used in conjunction to other forms of NeuroFeedback and as a standalone intervention.

BCIA Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Certificate of Completion Workshop (Day 1 of 2)

Attendees will complete BCIA's 15-hour didactic requirement for the HRV Biofeedback Certificate of Completion. Attendees will better understand the importance of heart rate variability (HRV), the processes that can increase and decrease it, and the correlates of low HRV. Attendees will gain practical knowledge about how to monitor breathing and HRV, recognize and control artifacts. Attendees will learn how to assess breathing and HRV, and compare measurements to healthy norms. Finally, they will learn HRV training protocols that combine resonance frequency breathing with emotional self-regulation.

PCW 6

Meditation & Peak Performance

This workshop will help clinicians revoke, enhance and unleash the exponential, yet Innate Learning Capability in the brain through an empirically measuring it with QEEG. Along with more than 20 years of practice of different kinds of Meditation, what is brought to the table is many years of practical knowledge of teaching this to various audiences. The effort is to simply the process and look at critical areas that could lead failure in evoking healthier lifestyle and productive mental states.
