Mysteries of the Divine Feminine & Kundalini Empowerment Retreat
Friday Nov.6, 7pm – Sun Nov. 8, 3:30pm; Fee: $270, includes meals.   Pre-registration required

The extraordinary power of your Consciousness to completely transcend the mind and body in order to directly know the Infinite is known as Kundalini in the yogic tradition. In this retreat you will be guided through practices that awaken and unfold Kundalini, the inner power of meditation and yoga. Through the power of mantra, chanting, breath-work, and the profound tales of mystical traditions, including the Black Madonna, Inanna, Kali and Kundalini, we will further access the inner source of true knowledge, wisdom and freedom. That source is the Divine within.  Through this process you will be empowered to deepen and sustain your meditation practice at home. Many people take this retreat repeatedly in order to delve more and more deeply into the mysteries of true meditation and the source of mantra.  All are welcome, space is limited.

Quietmind Foundation's free EEG biofeedback clinical trial

I'm writing to alert the professional members of this list that the Quietmind Foundation's free EEG biofeedback clinical trial recruitment phase is coming to closure. The protocol is for folks 45-80 with mild to moderate executive function problems arising from a dementing illness.

We've run about 25 subjects so far and the results are encouragingly positive in terms of showing that biofeedback training of the type we are providing does significantly improve both cognitive and behavioral symptoms and that these improvements are sustained after training sessions have ceased.

The subjects we are looking for are between 45-80 with normal intelligence and no history of traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders or major psychiatric illness and/or substance abuse. They need to be able to come to our location outside Philadelphia for treatment 2x/week for about 45min. each session. Another treatment location for subjects has recently been added in the greater Boston-New Hampshire area.

All services including full neuropsychological testing, quantitative EEGs and treatment are at no charge. Travel expenses (mileage) is reimbursable. We are looking for about 10 more subjects and will be closing out the recruitment at that point so please let your patients know and get them to contact us ASAP.

Please call Marvin Berman, Ph.D 610-940-0488 for more information or go to www.quietmindfdn.org/dementia-therapy for details and informed consent documents.
