Logic, rationality and linear causation express a ‘particle’ perspective. These left brain modes of knowing reveal a material reality that occurs in discreet packages of information wherein sequence is paramount to meaning; A causes B. Synchronistic causation expresses a ‘wave’ perspective, revealing how reality occurs in fluid pulses. In the right brain synchronistic way of perceiving, information is co-present in time and meaning appears as a gestalt.
We live much of our lives in a left-brain oriented world that values knowledge as power. But there’s another way to experience the world—from the reflective, emotionally embodied, intuitive, synchronistic, nonlinear, and integrative right brain.
In this teleseminar we explore the ancient practice of walking the labyrinth with Rev. Lauren Artress. As we walk we shift consciousness from our left brain to our right brain, and bring to the surface the deeply intuitive part of ourselves that offers wisdom rather than simply knowledge.
How can we understand transformation in a scientific way? We could start by understanding the mind. Mind is the process that regulates the flow of energy and information. So how would you regulate the mind? By developing the ability to see mental activity with more clarity and then modify it with more effectiveness. Dr. Daniel Siegel calls this ability “Mindsight” and says there’s something about being able to see and influence your internal world that creates more health.
In this teleseminar Dr. Ilene Serlin, a clinical psychologist and dance/movement therapist, talks with host, Marilyn Schlitz, about an interdisciplinary collaborative health care model which is defined in the three volume book set she edited: Whole Person Healthcare. Ilene provides the historical context on the use of music and movement in the ‘backrooms’ of hospitals. She tells of her international experience with non-verbal communication and integration of eastern and western healing practices.
