Neurophysiology of Meditation

This online course is for anyone searching for a deeper exploration of science, spirituality, and the necessary basics of well-being through meditation. Yoga philosophy and its ties to neurophysiology has been well-researched to show what the yogis have always known - that the nervous system can be affected by our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.
