Video coming soon
Exploring the measurable neurological changes that occur during sustained contemplative practice, Dr. Adam Stenseth bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience.
In this comprehensive lecture, Dr. Stenseth draws on clinical research and his own medical practice to demonstrate how regular mindfulness practice physically reshapes the brain — strengthening areas associated with emotional regulation, compassion, and focused attention while reducing activity in regions linked to stress and anxiety.
This session covers practical techniques for establishing a contemplative practice, the science behind why different meditation traditions produce similar neurological outcomes, and how these findings support the Luminatus approach of drawing wisdom from multiple traditions.
