Psychological practices aimed at the heights of human potential - what could be called “awakening” - have been around for thousands of years. Modern neuropsychology is beginning to reveal the underlying biological basis of these practices and higher states of consciousness. Rick will describe seven practices of awakening and their neural correlates, with a focus on the advanced practices of: being wholeness, receiving nowness, and opening into allness. This presentation will explore both “1st person” and “3rd person” - subjective and objective - perspectives, with an emphasis on practical implications for clinical settings and personal practice.
