hi
it apears that there is cheap intenrnet in tibet .so i'm writing from
far tibet .
so far i seen very little because most of the time i was on the roads
to the capital lhasa , and resting from the hard journey .
but anyway to the point - i do not think that the reason that
neuropfeedback hasn't come to monasteries is because of money .
why ?
a simple nfb machine cost 1000$ and let's using 2 hours per week per
person supposedly could help dozens of people to learn how meditate
much more rapidly that for example a bigest in world golden buddha
statue that now poeple starting to build somewhere in the east for
like $100 000 000 .
so in this case i don't think the problem is money , really not !!!
i think the problem is tradition .
for example i met in a tibetian buddhizm course i did a swiss monk
that is a monk for 17 yrs . i showed him an an article about nfb how
it could shorten mediation processes . althought this guy is a really
wise guy , really really wise and really really compasionate - he
found a lot of excuses why not to use neurofeedback .
so i think this group / or other group should dircetly focus on
awareness / convincing people , and especially people like dalai
lama , tich naht han ,maybe the even the opsho cult etc - in the
importance of nfb and other rapid psychomethods like eft for example .
i think we should work seriously on this , maybe even find a serious
marketing /public reelations / someone that it is his job to convince
poeple ?, because i see this as a very big oportunity to raise rapid
awareness.
this , is feel could be a very critical point for our project .
(we could sucseed without , but it would help a lot !!!!) .
and another thing - i saw if futurehealth that there are 2 people
that are working on integrating neurofeedback , biofeedback , and
tft . i feel it's a very good direction , even revolutonary . i would
really want to email with them .
so please help me make the connection .
i think they could be very helpful when we design the next version (
multichannel bfb / nfb machine ) and in software design .
also would it be possible for you to make a short summary of there
lecture and send it ?
sincerly yaniv v.
