Title : The grammar of the body in connection with a subtle layer of neurocognitive brain functioning, to reorganize thoughts and process in stress diseases and traumatisms

Abstract:

Traditional techniques, such as yoga and meditation through their empirical and practical approach to the Living, transmit to us their long and deep knowledge of human beings. Neuroscience, psychology and physiology can tap into this intelligence, tested by experience and concreteness, and gain a clearer, more complete and therefore integrative understanding of mental health and balance. I therefore allowed myself to be impregnated by this double belonging to quickly get my fellow men out of their tensions and painful emotions. The functioning of the human organism can be subdivided into different layers : they go from the mechanical, through the organic, the tissue, the cellular and now we are able to unravel the mystery of the microscopic intra-cellular and even more, we are entering quantum space. This dimension of life can be matched with a subtle way of “thinking”, a dimension of brain work that allows psychotherapy to be more economical and above all more ecological in the treatment of traumatic stress.
