What is the One True Choice?
Embodied Brain: On Yoga, Neuroplasticity, and Science • 1h 9m
Neuroplasticity occurs in a direct equation to the relaxation of our grasping towards known thought forms, beliefs, and experiences. When we can open the mind to the unknown and the unpredictable, fear by degrees falls away, which allows the structures of the brain to form greater connectivity and oversight. This brings feelings of reward which in turn, further relax the nerve system.
When we relax, we need to relax into something, and thus, the system of Nondual Therapy suggests the middle way of training ourselves to become more familiar with the open spaces which are not conditioned by histories - such as dimensions of peace, love, or true choice.
This reconnection with true nature in no way rejects habitual thought patterns, but rather introduces a sky of subtle experience, or higher perspective, that can loosen the belief in limitation.
In this talk, we will give some techniques to move beyond the discriminating (judgmental, dualistic, "fake choice") dimension of mind. Through unveiling the living dimension of true choice - we can begin to allow the immense power of neuroplasticity that emerges when consciousness is liberated from the judgmental shackles of identity.
