And Personal Mastery!
We live in an age where state-of-the art computer based technology enables us to measure and monitor the moment to moment micro-changes of our physiology and to feed this information back to ourselves. This feedback loop creates a most intimate access to observing the subtle and profound workings of the “mindbody interphase” in order to deepen our insight into how our states of mind, emotions, attitudes, intentions, and quality of attention are continually manifesting themselves in and through our bodies.
Just as psychosomatic illness is a reality - so too is psychosomatic health! David Chethlahe Paladin, one of our Navajo teachers, once reminded us that “worrying is just praying backwards!” When we understand that we are capable of “worrying ourselves to death” then we can also appreciate that we have the capacity to organize our attention, intention, and creative imagination in order to realize truly extra-ordinary states of health, vitality, performance and aliveness - even in the midst of the extremely challenging circumstances of our lives.
We’ve been fortunate to be pioneers in mind-science research and have worked extensively with biofeedback, neurofeedback, and cyberphysiology for over 35 years. We have directed clinical programs for Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound (an HMO in the Seattle area that serves over 1.5 million people) and at Children’s Hospital, and have taught students and faculty from dozens of leading nursing and medical schools, and medical centers. We also designed and facilitated intensive biofeedback training for the U.S. Army Green Berets’ once secret Jedi Warrior training program - a 6 month full-time training program which included an extensive biofeedback and cyberphysiology training center and a month-long silent mindfulness meditation retreat. The results of this intensive mindbody training - described by senior leaders at West Point Military Academy who reviewed the program as, “The most exquisite orchestration of human technology that we have ever seen,” were profoundly inspiring. The soldiers we trained were able to accomplish missions that no other Special Forces troops had ever been able to perform - and one team was selected as the most outstanding team in the NATO games that year.
