Episode notes
Direct Brain Training Creates Lasting Change
- Neurofeedback teaches the brain by feeding its electrical activity back faster than conscious awareness, enabling lasting behavioral change.
- With enough potent sessions the brain learns new balance like riding a bicycle and retains it long-term.
Assess Whole-System Health First
- Assess clients' deeper motives and whole-system health before neurofeedback to target root causes, not just symptoms.
- Include gut, liver, sleep, and history checks because physical issues can drive mental patterns and addictions.
Spiritual Frame Is Optional, Not Required
- Holon frames spirituality as universal interconnectedness rather than organized religion, and it's optional for many neurofeedback options.
- Neurofeedback itself is agnostic: it's electrical training of the brain independent of belief systems.
