More about Coherency Training
Most of us have lost connection with our truest essence and have instead identified with a superficial way of being. In order to truly free ourselves, we need to find ourselves. We can go beyond what we believe ourselves to be and discover a door within that opens to a vast and remarkable depth of being.
Researchers estimate that we think 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day. These thoughts could be compared to constantly throwing handfuls of pebbles into an otherwise clear pond. The pond’s surface becomes rough and disturbed, and the waters are muddied. Similarly, if the mind is constantly dealing with a barrage of chaotic thought, it becomes difficult to see into its depths. Many of our thoughts are repetitive, based on long-forgotten decisions that we have made at stressful moments in our lives. We continue to carry these persistent thoughts forward in an unconscious manner, obscuring and limiting our present and future experiences.
Meditation and withdrawal from daily life are sometimes suggested to ease the extraneous activity of the mind. But our ingrained thought patterns come with us when we physically withdraw, and it can be challenging to still the constant chatter of the mind in order to meditate. Even if one is able to momentarily quiet the mind, that precious stillness is often lost again as soon as one encounters life’s usual situations.
Our previous training in life has typically not supported a coherent way of being, but coherency is natural for us. The mind often slips into this mode on its own. In these moments worry and fear are eased, and we feel supremely peaceful and happy. These are our insightful and creative moments -- those times when things seem to flow with great synchronicity. At these times, the brain exhibits a coherent brain wave pattern that can be scientifically measured. Coherent brain function brings order and efficiency to our systems, and we cease expending energy in unnecessary ways.
In 1996, I was fortunate to learn a set of meditative techniques which effectively facilitate this state of coherency. The techniques are tailored by each individual, using a formula that coordinates function in the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This draws the mind inward, providing experiences of pure stillness that catalyze a natural cleansing and harmonizing process. The accumulated debris of old thought patterns are gently released, freeing the individual to live more fully and clearly in the present moment. It has been my experience that the resulting serenity is not easily interrupted or shaken by the stresses of everyday life. A major advantage of this system is that the techniques are designed to be used not only as a closed-eyed meditation, but also with the eyes open at any time during the day when one needs to return to a state of balance. With its Eastern roots, Coherency Training was originally taught under the name of "The Ishayas’ Ascension." Please note that the techniques, as I am teaching them, are not affiliated with any organization, and do not represent a religious doctrine or belief structure.
Participants find that the simple tools taught in the Coherency Training are remarkable in their ability to effectively release stress from the system. At first the peacefulness and quiet that is accessed may seem unspectacular, but with regular use there are steady cumulative benefits in one’s life. Many people find that they work more efficiently and need less sleep. The body’s natural healing tendencies may be activated, ease and clarity restored to the mind, and latent creative abilities may become apparent. If the mind is quiet and receptive, greater awareness of one’s spiritual Source may also be realized. The whole process is usually quieter, subtler and gentler than one might expect.
The training includes instruction in the usage of four simple techniques which powerfully catalyze the release of underlying stresses, information on how the mind functions, and a look at the various states of consciousness. This training is all that is needed to begin utilizing these very effective tools in your life. Once taken, the training may be repeated as many times as desired, at no cost. Additional follow-up techniques are also available.
