Radically deepen your meditation practice and accelerate your path to awakening while saving $300 on Dr. Fleet Maull's renowned trainin

Imagine your moment-to-moment life as a direct expression and manifestation of profound expanded states of consciousness. Imagine being able to access, integrate and stabilize those profound states, turning them into lasting traits and your way of being in the world.

With Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ or NSM™, we combine deep embodiment and interoceptive awareness with a self-directed internal process neuro-biofeedback to access profoundly transformative states of nondual awareness and being-ness.

When trying to practice mindfulness meditation, we often find ourselves struggling, engaged in mental gymnastics to remain focused on the object of our mindfulness practice.

Would you like to learn a simple and reliable technique to stabilize your attention with greater ease?

Through the deeply embodied approach of NSM™, your mind is able to settle more quickly and effortlessly access mindful presence and awareness.

With NSM™, you place your attention on the body's innate capacity to feel and perceive, and anchor it in nowness.

With practice we learn to easily access the body-mind's capacity for auto-regulation making the shift from doing to being, effortlessly resting in the limitless state of luminous mind and pure presence

By stabilizing this deeply embodied presence, we gain access to the physical, mental, emotional, and social information we need to compassionately self-regulate and skillfully interact with our world.

The profound level of presence and embodied awareness you will develop through NSM™ is the key to awakening to the greater dimension of our intersubjective being, or what the Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn calls interbeing.

For those of us who choose to serve humanity as mindfulness instructors, counselors, or coaches, NSM™ will support you both by enhancing your effectiveness and deepening your resilience.

Who is Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness For?

Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ emphasizes rigorous clarity and precision in both its methodologies and terminology to further the scientific investigation of mindfulness-awareness meditation and its impact on human health, resilience and performance. This clarity and precision makes NSM™ easily accessible for beginning, intermediate and advanced practitioners alike.

Whether you are just learning to meditate, looking to rekindle a lapsed practice, or feeling like your practice has plateaued with questionable results after many years, NSM™ will provide you with a clear pathway to establish, enhance and/or deepen an optimally effective, beneficial and ultimately liberating meditation practice. NSM™ fully supports our aspirations to live a courageous and fully-engaged life grounded in our innate capacities for kindness, compassion, fearlessness and generosity.

As we further develop these innate capacities and qualities through practice, we naturally begin to experience greater personal freedom and empowerment, increasing confidence in our own and others' intrinsic goodness, enhanced altruistic motivation, and joyful gratitude for life's blessings and challenges.

NSM™ is particularly well-suited for clinicians, business consultants, executive coaches and life coaches wishing to integrate mindfulness into their work with clients. After completing the full course of NSM™ training outlined below, qualified candidates may apply to begin an advanced, year-long training program to become certified NSM™ practitioners and coaches.

"This course brought everything together for me. I’ve been studying mindfulness throughout the years, and the science behind neuro-somatic mindfulness explained how awakening transpires neuro- biologically.


Fleet embodied a warm, friendly and open presence which is important when learning mindfulness. Cultivating these qualities helps to be resilient and create a better world."

How Does It Work?

Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness™ integrates techniques and insights from classic mindfulness-awareness and compassion training practices (anapansati, vipassana, metta, samatha-vipashyana, tonglen, mahamudra, dzogchen, shikantaza) with the latest advances in neuroscience research.

NSM™ increases your capacity for self-regulation and your ability to cultivate empathy and compassion with yourself, others and the natural world.

NSM™ uses enhanced interoceptive awareness-based neuro-biofeedback. With these self-empowering techniques you enhance and deepen your practice of classic mindfulness-awareness meditation.

What Is Interoceptive Awareness?

Interoceptive awareness is your body's natural ability to feel itself from the inside-out. It is how you know when you are thirsty, hungry, tired or needing to use a restroom. It is the sensory faculty through which you experience discomfort or pain in your body.

Your whole body is sensory, all the way down to the bones, including not just the sensory organ of our skin but the skeletal structure, musculature, connective tissues, major organs, etc., which are all made of sensory tissue connected to the central nervous system.

Generally, we are only aware of this capacity for interoceptive awareness when we experience discomfort; however, we can develop an enhanced and abiding interoceptive awareness that translates into embodied presence, emotional awareness and spiritual depth. Current science indicates that enhanced interoceptive awareness increases our capacity for emotion-regulation.

What Is Neuro-Bio-Feedback?

Biofeedback is a mind-body technique that uses some form of visual or auditory feedback to self-regulate autonomic bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension or pain perception.

Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback making use of some form of audio or visual feedback of the brain's electrical activity to self-regulate brain wave frequencies and cognitive and emotional states.

Interoceptive Neuro-biofeedback makes use of interoceptive physiological and neurological sensory feedback to self-regulate brain activity and physiological and emotional states, without the need for external sources of audio or video feedback. NSM™ is based on developing this internal, self-regulatory capacity.

“The Neuro-Somatic Meditations seem to settle my mind faster. As someone with chronic pain issues, NSM also seems to help my pain because I can separate my mood/mental state from the physical pain better with practice. I’m finding that having my body as the object of meditation helps me get to the goal of quieting my mind faster, more directly.“

POWERFUL ANCHOR

NSM™ anchors your attention and awareness in a deeply felt, embodied presence that supports healing, resilience, emotional intelligence and intimate connection with ourselves, others and the natural world.

 

By grounding ourselves in nowness and presence through NSM™, we develop the peace of mind, confidence and resilience needed to free ourselves of anxiety, worry, and the fear- and scarcity-based habitual patterns and coping strategies from our past. Instead we will live in the now with an abiding sense of freshness, aliveness and possibility.

TRAUMA SENSITIVE

NSM™ is a trauma-sensitive and self-compassionate approach to classical mindfulness and awareness practices in which we learn, in a self-directed manner, to gradually and safely expand our window of tolerance (or zone of resilience) in order to navigate challenging circumstances with greater ease, equanimity and skillfulness.

DEEP HEALING

NSM™ represents a journey of deep healing in which we learn to be with our experiences (sensory, cognitive and emotional) in a non-judgmental and self-compassionate way, allowing our mind and body to heal and release past traumas.

“I'm really noticing how profound working with embodiment is for meditation. For me, it seems to help bypass all the various gymnastics that my mind goes through to keep from being present. A very useful tool."
