This is not your typical Mindfulness Course. This is not an "intellectual" treatment of the subject of mindfulness. There will not be any talks or lectures detailing the clinically proven benefits of Mindfulness or meditation. There will be no Mindfulness Meditations, in the "classic sense" for you to do daily. So, if you have no meditative experience, do not be concerned. This course is unique because, quite simply, Dr. Parker has a different background than the vast majority of people teaching Mindfulness Classes. In fact, quite likely, it would be difficult to find a single person, who shares her particular background. First, she is an ordained Zen Priest and has been since 1992. She has been a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner since 1998 and she has been a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner since 2005. Additionally, she studied directly with Dr. Larry Heller, over a period of many years. Dr. Heller literally "wrote the book" on the survival styles that develop in the process of growing up in our family of origin. |
| Creating Space For Your Lungs An Introduction And 8 Lessons |
$55.00 |
This series of lessons is an innovative and powerfully effective movement awareness program that can help you to enjoy a freer, easier, deeper and less habituated way of breathing - a way of breathing that is characterized by greater resilience and responsivity to the present moment. Because Dr. Parker introduces Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory and emphasizes the importance of nervous system feed-back loops, this series can also help you to restore balance to your autonomic nervous system (the stress control mechanism in your brain). When one’s autonomic nervous system is out of balance (which is the case for many people in these fast-paced, modern times) one feels less and less able to cope with everyday stressors. Conversely, when balance is restored to the stress control mechanism, one feels more resilient and more able to cope with the stressors of everyday life. Lori A. Parker, GCFP, S.E.P., Ph.D. brings to these lessons her 20 years of experience as a Feldenkrais Practitioner, and also her 18 years of experience as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Somatic Experiencing is a method designed to resolve shock reactions in the nervous system and to help restore the optimum functioning of one’s autonomic nervous system. Dr. Parker has written extensively on the function of the autonomic nervous system and how to go about restoring its balance. |

| Polyvagal Theory For The Lay Person Presented By Dr. Benjamin Shield 2 Parts |
$45.00 |
Stephen Porges' "Polyvagal Theory" is a new understanding of the Autonomic Nervous System which has huge implications for trauma therapies. The articles detailing Porges' theory, however, are quite technical. For those without an academic background in biology, physiology, or neuroscience, these articles may be difficult to read, understand, and interpret. So, Dr. Lori A. Parker asked her friend Dr. Benjamin Shield to teach a one-day workshop on the theory. She wondered if he could turn "Porges into English". Dr. Shield agreed to develop this one-day course in order to help those without his scientific background to better understand the relevance and implications of Porges' theory. This purchase will consist of 2 downloadable files with Dr. Benjamin Shield's original presentation of Dr. Porges' Polyvagal Theory. |
