Si je suis anormal, c’est que je suis aussi unique au monde

En conclusion de mon deuxième blog, j'ai déclaré que chaque cerveau est unique au monde. En fait, seul un observateur superficiel pourrait dire le contraire ; un observateur pour qui tous les cerveaux se ressembleraient. Ce paradigme linéaire n'est pas celui de NeurOptimal®. NeurOptimal® est essentiellement un activateur de ressources personnelles. Le temps que nous ayons consacré à prendre soin de notre cerveau en faisant des Sessions régulièrement ne fera que garantir que cette unicité...

Il n’y a rien de normal dans mon cerveau

Je commence ce deuxième post là où j'avais terminé le premier, c'est-à-dire de Karl Pribram et de la perception de la réalité dans laquelle nous vivons. Selon Karl Pribram, le cerveau fonctionne comme un hologramme dynamique. L'idée est que chaque partie de l'hologramme contient des informations sur l'ensemble. Si vous coupez une image holographique vers le haut en petites parties, l'image entière peut toujours être visible dans chacune des parties. Ceci explique pourquoi les lésions...

J’aime les témoignages mais je n’aime pas les partager…

Quand on est Trainer NeurOptimal®, on reçoit souvent des témoignages de personnes qui ont ressenti un bien-être, immédiat ou différé. Chaque personne est heureuse de nous raconter le bien fait qu'il y a eu dans sa vie, et nous on sait, encore une foi, qu'en choisissant NeurOptimal® on a fait un bon choix. Mais, ces bienfaits du quotidien je préfère les garder pour moi. Je m'explique. NeurOptimal® est un entraînement cérébral qui permet d'obtenir une...

De l’exagération à la relativisation

De nombreuses personnes viennent à mon cabinet professionnel parce qu'à la suite d'un traumatisme physique ou psychologique, elles ont éprouvé des symptômes ou souffrent d'une pathologie ou d'une maladie. N'ayant trouvé aucun remède ou soulagement avec une approche médicale ordinaire ou en prenant des médicaments, ils sont convaincus que NeurOptimal® soit une «thérapie» alternative ou un «traitement médical» spécifique pour ce symptôme. Dans le respect de leurs attentes et de leurs souffrances, il est de...

Val’s Views – The Principle Witness

"It really is that simple." Trungpa Rinpoche says something like, “Buddhism doesn’t tell you what is false and what is true, but it encourages you to find out for yourself.” Chodron, Pema. The Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving Kindness (p. 43). Shambhala. Kindle Edition. What is so different about NeurOptimal® compared to all the other neurotechnologies out there?

Dear NeurOptimal® Trainers

Dear NeurOptimal® Trainers, I have been watching, reading and listening to the many comments about NO3 and the experiences that a few people are having with their clients.  As many of you know our actions as a Trainer can and will affect our clients, from subtle facial expressions (“hmmm…why did ‘it’ (NO3) do that”) to more overt statements, “I am not sure what is happening here” or “That’s weird, I would have thought the Interruptions would...

How Flexible Are You When Your Fist Is Clenched?

When our hands are relaxed and open, they can move fluidly, resiliently, from task to task—grasping items, reaching out to assist or hug someone, transferring easily from a writing to a driving position. But can you imagine moving from holding a child, to writing a check, or even to feeding yourself, with your hand squeezed into a tight fist? Chronic stress, compounded daily, creates a body filled with tension, leading to a tight, stiff central nervous...

Shhh… Want to Take a Peek Inside the NeurOptimal® System?

Zengar has been developing a Neurofeedback system for years that they have referred to as a non-linear dynamical approach to brain training. But what in the world does that mean? It is sometimes difficult to call this system ‘neurofeedback’, because this educational brain training program has very little in common with the linear approach that so many people understand as neurofeedback. It helps to understand a little more about the brain. The brain is ever-changing. Neuroplasticity...
