COURSE

Runic Wisdom: 24-Days Of Mindfulness, Neuroscience, & The Elder Futhark

With Olga-Lucia Gamboa Arana

This unique 24-day program brings together the ancient wisdom of the Elder Futhark, Neuroscience, and Mindfulness. Each day, through an integrated meditation, we will explore a different rune, its symbolism, and the neuroscience concept that aligns with the rune's essence, thereby strengthening our mindfulness practice. By applying the wisdom of runes through mindfulness, you'll uncover your own inner strength and resilience. These ancient symbols can also serve as useful metaphors to help understand how the brain works. Making complex concepts like neuroplasticity (how our brains evolve), emotional regulation (how we manage our feelings), and stress response (how we react to stress) more accessible and relatable. At the end of this 24-day journey, you will: 1. Attain a deeper understanding of yourself and your inner dynamics. 2. Enhance your emotional resilience and stress management skills. 3. Foster personal growth and self-awareness. 4. Cultivate a sense of peace and wellbeing. 5. Gain insights from both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. 6. Reinforce and nourish your mindfulness practice

Very interesting course. The neuro science and mindfulness exercises where very informative and the affirmations could be used in daily meditation practice. I would say that to really appreciate the course you need a set of runes and a book on runes or a set of rune cards otherwise it's hard to visualise the rune.
