Hi there,

One of my favourite moments from the Rewiring your Reality course includes a new way of thinking about anxiety, depression and trauma, and how these can be transformed. 

A key insight is that change requires instability. 

If your emotional and behavioural patterns are frozen in place, there needs to be a period of increased flexibility so new options can emerge. Flexability can be measured as ‘entropy’ in the brain, and increases as we move from deep sleep to dreaming, dreaming to waking, and then one level up during meditation or under psychedelics. 

If done skilfully, we can wake-up to how we are modelling the world and ourselves, and choose more beautiful ways of being and perceiving. 

"Thats what it is to become self-aware and really awaken. We start to be be able to modulate all the controls of how this hierarchical processing happens in the first place.” 

The more complete explanation is inspiring, so I recommend having a look at this 18 min video.

Shamil is holding a 2 hour online meditation and non-duality session this coming Sunday, 6-8pm UK time; awakening informed by philosophy, neuroscience and the art of human flourishing.

I hope to see you there, and to hear your thoughts either way!

With thanks,
