Gaivna

Gaivna is the theoretical model consisting of the three parts, Psychology, Communication and Neuroscience postulating how thinking patterns naturally form, are affected by communication and correspond with neurobiology. It is the first explanation of the neuroscience of decision-making and of conversational hypnosis that is influenced by heterogenous theories of Gary Klein, Daniel Kahneman and Gregory Bateson and communication techniques of Milton H. Erickson, Richard Wayne Bandler and Robert Dilts. Gaivna is not medical advice or psychotherapy. Never ginger in critiquing those fields, it is the fertile conception between communication and thinking that can create new generations of teachers and life coaches.
Gaivna was published in a book called, Gaivna, Psychology, Communication & Neuroscience Level One Rosenfeld does not have a graduate degree. Two additional levels of Gaivna are planned that have not yet been written. Popular schools of neuro-linguistics are considered by skeptics to be cults. Rosenfeld does miss these believing in the efficacy of neuro-linguistics and their potential to enhance peace and cooperation, improve interpersonal relationships and for better sales, marketing and psychotherapy. He further believes it is the American Psychological Association that misunderstands how the fields of psychology and neuroscience correspond directly with those of neuro-linguistics.
Beliefs and practices
Gaivna has three parts: Psychology, Communication and Neuroscience. It is the first part on Psychology that suggests that we almost effortlessly form both our awareness and our bodily responses through pattern recognition of the present moment with past experience. In a mostly separate cognitive process, we effortfully contemplate. The second on Communication shows how our thought patterns can be affected intentionally by language and gestures. In the third section on Neuroscience, Gaivna explains that we can see these thought and communication patterns corresponding to neurobiology. Each of these three parts within Gaivna uses the same subsections Awareness, Automatic Behavioral Response, Memory Salience, Decision Making and Effortful Contemplation. According to Gaivna, these subsections show how Psychology and Communication correspond to the brain’s Hippcampus, Thalamus Basal Ganglia, Cerebral Cortex and Pre-Frontal Cortex. Gaivna suggests that by conceiving of Awareness and Automatic Behavioral Responses separately we are much closer to reflecting how the brain is physiologically organized and much closer to neurological truth than thinking of them as a single process. this is described as a slower more effortful contemplation as “System 2” process.” The Cerebellum (“ugly” neurological area) is avoided when possible. However, the brain uses it when first fit pattern recognition fails and purposeful cognition is necessary. A number of neuro-linguistic techniques are said to be important to directing Effortful Contemplation influentially.
Ecology
Ecology is an idea that originated in the field of Systems Theory, which argued that Psychologists and linguists are too concerned with only one side of a conversation, and do not give enough consideration to how individuals systematically communicate within couples and groups, such as families, neighborhoods and cities. In other words, context can be as important to any individual’s thinking and behavior as any of a person’s momentary psychological states. This approach led to a variety of family therapies popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Gaivna explains how communication techniques that take advantage of the power of ecology can be used to influence thinking and behavior today.
Organization
Gaivna is not yet a formal entity. However, it was conceived in “Campus C” in Miami Beach, FL, an area known for attracting millions of tourists to seminars, conferences and festivals each year. Although there are three levels anticipated in Gaivna, they do not correspond to rank within any organization.
