BACP Coaching Conference, June 2011

There is so much happening at CSA these days that I will take only a short time to tell you about the special BACPC conference.(British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Coaching section)

“This was one of those special days when, ‘every single presentation offered something fresh and different – engaging and energising people. I have rarely seen so many people at one conference just glowing with enthusiasm. People were inspired, delighted”. (Linda Aspey, Chair BACP Coaching)

Yes, it was one of those days! Stunning presentations from Nancy Kline and Paul Brown (at last, a presentation on neuroscience which we could all understand and enjoy!), were the highlights of conference. Miriam and I were delighted to present a session looking at how the fields of clinical and coaching supervision were both similar and different. A great start for BACP Coaching!

Article from IONS – by Rick Hanson on Self-Directed Neuroplasticity

As we mentioned in the write up of the BAPC conference , Paul Brown did a wonderful presentation on neuroscience.  Unfortunately we don’t have any articles by Paul which we could share with you. However, there is some great writing on the subject on the IONS website, and we thought you might be interested in reading  the following article by Rick Hanson, on Self-Directed Neuroplasticity.

By the way, if you’re not familiar with IONS website – do check it out. http://www.noetic.org/about/overview/

“Ed. Note: In the following dialogue, excerpted and edited from the Institute of Noetic Sciences’ teleseminar series “Exploring the Noetic Sciences.” IONS Director of Research Cassandra Vieten talks with neuropsychologist and meditation teacher Rick Hanson, author with neurologist Richard Mendius, MD, of Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom. Rick will be speaking at the upcoming IONS International Conference taking place this July in San Francisco.

Vieten: What exactly is contemplative neuroscience?

Hanson: Broadly defined, it’s the study of what happens in the brain when people are doing contemplative practices, how the brain changes with such practices.

Although the word contemplative sounds fancy, everyone has been contemplative – you know, looking up at the stars, going to the ocean and getting a sense of the enormity of it all, or looking into your baby’s eyes and thinking, Holy Moly, how did I get you and how did you get me? All of that is contemplative. In addition to that, all the major religions have formal contemplative practices. But people can engage in contemplative activity without framing it in terms of a relationship with God or something like that.”    Read More
