Neurofeedback Trains the Brain
B
rain Works Academy of Covington offers neurofeedback or brain-training to treat clients of all ages with disorders such as ADHD, insomnia, autism and anxiety. Neurofeedback is a safe and non-invasive therapy that has successfully helped clients worldwide for over 30 years. It is gaining in popularity since research has demonstrated that neurofeedback can lead to long-term improvement in treating ADHD and related disorders. Neurofeedback trains the brain to selfregulate by using a learning process that strengthens synaptic connections in the brain. A non-invasive diagnostic test maps the brain to determine areas that would benefit from neurofeedback training. During the actual training, sensors placed on the scalp in the specified areas allows the practitioner to view the brain waves and composite data. Sessions last about 45 minutes. Brain Works Academy is located at 5001 Highway 190 E Service Rd. in Covington. To schedule an appointment or ask questions call 985-809-7077.

workshop led by Master Shaman Hamilton Souther will introduce multiple facets of the discipline of Modern Shamanism on November 18 and 19 at the Hilton St. Charles. Souther, who serves as co-founder of Modern Shamanism and author of the Modern Shamanism course, is a traditionally trained master Amazonian shaman who carries the titles of ayahausca (ayahuasquero), palero, sanaguero, perfumero and exorcista. He is versed in all tree medicines and is a master of sanango, perfume and performs exorcisms. In 2001, Souther entered the Peruvian Amazon, where he trained with locally renowned master shamans Julio Llerena Pinedo and Alberto Torres Davila in a traditional apprenticeship. Coupling cultural anthropology and traditional shamanic practices, he sought to help solve the spiritual, mental and personal dilemmas of Westerners seeking shamanism as a solution to the lack of enchantment found in their daily lives. The result of that quest is Modern Shamanism. The local event takes participants on a mystical journey, applying insights from personal experience to course theory. The aim is to offer a life-changing experience and the tools necessary to continue the individual evolutionary process launched at the event. The discipline trains students to become modern shamans, so that they can seamlessly integrate practices learned through modern life themes into their daily lives.
