Neural Active® FrameworK (NAF)
Fusing decades of neuroscientific research with 1st-person experience ~
The Neural Active Framework (NAF) is a phenomenon that provides a hands-on experiential activation of the major functional cognitive domains of human consciousness. It makes neurobiology “come alive” in experience and elucidates the real connection between neuroscience and body-mind practice.
Both a framework and a process, NAF situates a cultivator’s existing body-mind practices and “hot-wires” them directly into the pertinent brain functions. The cultivator is thus made aware of how the brain operates “under the hood” of their practice and becomes better able to steer and adjust it for greater effectiveness. NAF likewise allows a practitioner to easily identify and fill the gaps in their existing practice regimen.
NAF is the outcome of years of Gabriel Axel Montes’ dedicated body-mind practice and of his scientific research and that of his academic forebears.
Why learn NAF?
NAF bypasses the fluff of “the neuroscience of [X topic]” and gets right to the meat of leveling up experience, directly through realizing how the brain works within any and all aspects of experience.
The growing market of coating spirituality with neuroscience has produced a crowded landscape of stretched/forced links between the two. This has resulted in information overload that tends to provide more placebo effect than result.
NAF helps you contextualize your practices and experiences in a way that identifies what is missing in order to make them more effective and fulfilling. It is a non-dogmatic framework in which you can plug in your existing life actions and practices and are free to choose in which direction you wish to take them.
Learning NAF:
Gabriel teaches NAF through online pre-recorded course videos with Q&A, in-person workshops, online focus groups, and private instruction. The typical delivery is week-by-week online delivery of content over the course of 12 weeks of material.
