Join us as we explore how understanding and tapping into deeper consciousness can lead to life-changing insights and self-discovery. Learn to listen to your inner whispers and discover how to transform mental and emotional landscapes from within, moving from the intellect into the heart and beyond. Watch interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/2Hu6_poYLn8 Welcome back to SEASON 13 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 7 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. On today's EPISODE #358 we will cover: ✔ How licensed psychologist and former clinical social worker Craig Polsfuss, (among the pioneers of the Three Principles movement in the 1980s) bridged psychology, spirituality, and brain science to help people achieve mental well-being, top performance and spiritual insight. ✔ Uncover the formula to create your own Reality Shattering Insights. ✔ Learn how tap into a deeper consciousness that can lead to life-changing insights and self-discovery. For today's EP #358, we meet with a pioneering psychologist and author of the book published just last November, Reality-Shattering Insights[i], the first in a 4-book series entitled VoLT: The Vortex of Living Truth. Today's guest, Craig Polsfuss, a licensed psychologist and former clinical social worker, who pioneered the Three Principles movement in the 1980s after a powerful awakening. With nearly five decades of experience, he integrates psychology, spirituality, and brain science to help people achieve mental wellbeing, top performance, and spiritual insight.  The "reality-shattering insights" that he shares inside his book will open your eyes, if you are looking for answers, to questions you might not have even known that you were asking yourself. Before we meet Craig Polsfuss, and begin our journey of self-discovery: A discovery that will take us from our head to our heart, and from our heart, into the depths of our soul. I've got to say that this episode is not like ANY I have done before, as Craig covered questions I have had for a very long time. Questions that came up when I first studying Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich book, 25 years ago, that we covered on EP 315[ii] with a 7-PART series. This book was one of the seminars that I sold in the late 1990s when I worked with speaker Bob Proctor.  I always wondered “what is that thinking stuff that Wattles describes in his syllabus?” If you signed up for this seminar, you would have been given this syllabus to take home with you laminated. I've got at least 10 of them still today in my office. Back then I had no idea what Wattles was describing. That stuff he says “permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.” And that “a thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.” I always thought it was some sort of “intelligence” but it wasn't until this past January, while studying this book series with Paul Martinelli, who also sold this seminar, and presented it years ago. I learned Paul's point of view that Wattles is saying this “thinking stuff” is God. And he goes on to say that we might all have our own interpretation of what we call this, (some might call it God, others a Higher Power, and others something entirely different) but I think we can all agree that there is something much bigger than us in the world. Something that keeps us connected to others, and can help us. I had to look to see what scientist Dr. Andrew Huberman would say on this topic and he goes on the record to say that he is “in absolute awe of Biology, believes in God” and elaborates by saying if you look at “the magnificence of biology, and the magnificence of nature (he says) it's impossible for (him) to conceive it could have come about any other way.”[iii] So coming back to this episode, if you have EVER wondered like me about this topic, I'm not trying to sell you in what I believe, but just asking you to keep an open mind as you listen. This episode is about: Learning how to Listen to the whispers of your deep knowing… It's about how exactly to pay attention to what comes up when you listen to your breath. We will cover how to drop from your mind and move into your heart… And Just Listen. This is where our next guest, author Craig Polsfuss explains is how you'll uncover your true answer. Just keep an open mind, and you'll see the beauty that exists when we can open our hearts  …Reality Shattering Insights. INTRO: Welcome Craig, it's wonderful to meet you today. Where have we reached you this early Monday morning? Are you in St. Paul, MN? I've got to say that when I first saw your work, that I jumped a bit in my chair. Those who know me well, know I have quite a spiritual side, but we all see the world through different lenses. Can you first of all share where this journey (of the mind) began for you, bridging psychology, spirituality and brain science to bring you to where you are today? Q1: You write about "reality-shattering insights" in your new book, and the "proven" human ability to completely transform in an instant.  Can you explain what you mean by “reality shattering insights?” and give some examples of people who have transformed their lives with these insights? Q1B: What does a complete personal transformation actually look like, and is instant change truly possible? Q2: I find this topic fascinating, and wrote about a book The Eureka Factor: Aha Moments, Creative Insight and the Brain (by John Kounios and Mark Beeman) on a recent EP330[iv]. Are Reality Shattering Insights like AHA Moments? Q3: What neuroscience component did you discover that contributed to your own personal awakening? How have others taken advantage of this? Can you talk more about this and add some brain science insight?  Q3B: What about listeners who are tuning into this podcast episode, and they are curious to learn how to create “reality shattering insights” at will. What are the first steps to begin this transformative journey?   Q3C: What is the core formula or method for radical personal transformation?  Q3D: What are the different levels of personal and spiritual enlightenment? Q4: What IS this infinite intelligence? Q4: In your book, you mention it's a journey from your “head to your heart” and from your “heart to your soul.” Can you explain this a bit more? How do we “feel” our “soul?” Q5: How does co-creation work? Q6: How does this connect to social and emotional learning?  Q7: Where do we go from here?  For those who are interested in learning more, where should they begin?   Craig, I want to thank you for your time today, sharing your book, Reality Shattering Insights, and  decades of research.

Craig Polsfuss believes we can change in an instant because that's exactly what happened to him. There will be listeners of this episode who will connect with this mindset and there will be listeners who wave it off as malarky (you heard me, I said it, I said malarky). And guess what? Craig's good with either and both responses. As a licensed psychologist practicing over 4 decades, he's definitely seen and heard it all. In his late 20s, he had his own instant transformation, and it changed how he not just worked with his clients but also how he saw the world and saw himself within it. He's put all his feelings and findings into his book, Reality Shattering Insights, with the hope he can help spark others to find their own personal transformation and begin a life journey, no matter where you are at in your life. If you have been thinking about making a change, if you've been talking yourself out of doing it, if you have been waiting for a sign, if you are just open to it, this conversation may just be the spark you need. Spoiler Alert: I ask Craig if it's ever too late and his answer is one word, "NEVER." ______________________________________ Have you gotten your copies of Steve's series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES?

Dr. Stephanie interviews Mr. Craig Polsfuss, a Conservative therapist and speaker from Bloomington, MN about The Three Principles.  During the interview, they discuss that when people experience personal suffering or victimization, Political Conservatives are more likely to turn to the inner power of God to right the wrong; whereas Political Liberals turn to an "outer power" of government to right this wrong. The Three Principles is a belief system that some therapists are incorporating into their practice and Dr. Stephanie explores with Mr. Polsfuss how this can be helpful to people's mental and spiritual well-being.

This week's show is with Craig Polsfuss, MA, LP, MSW, LICSW (Emeritus), an Integral Psychologist with three decades of experience. Craig has advanced training and is a published national leader in both the Three Principles psycho-spiritual (non-religious) understanding and the Higher Brain Living neuroscience “New Human” program. Craig is totally convinced that both will contribute to the healing and well being of millions, and to an eventual shift in global consciousness unlike anything seen previously in human history. In this show, which is a follow-up to our last conversation about Why turning on your higher brain is the answer to happiness, we spoke about what Craig's understanding of history of the human mind - how our brain has evolved over time, why we have a higher brain, how our brains actually work, and what we can learn from some indigenous cultures still living on the planet today. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: The lower brain has done a great job of helping us to survive and procreate, middle brain evolved for relationships and emotions, the cortex for thinking functions and then according to modern science, the prefrontal cortex (or the 'higher brain') evolved around 50,000 years and is what allows us to access our highest potential (as we spoke about in our last conversation). Our brain has no life of its own without an 'enlivening energy' which brings it to life. The brain is like the servant to our ongoing experience and is being continually updated according to our experience. Our potential gets expressed any way it can. For example, the way people throughout recorded history have had spontaneous 'enlightenment' experiences and how in the book Original Wisdom, the band of hunter foragers appeared very much as though they were living from their higher mind. It's cool to see how this is natural for all of us.

Craig is totally convinced that both will contribute to the healing and well being of millions, and to an eventual shift in global consciousness unlike anything seen previously in human history. In this show we spoke about what Craig's seen about the potential to live from our higher brain. What you'll learn from this episode: The higher brain or the prefrontal cortex is little used in most of us (except monks who have meditated for decades!) but the potential is there for all of us. We can release the energy that's in the body up into the higher brain and then into the heart. Our circuity becomes integrated and the two hemispheres of the brain become more coherent. Even when we're already living a happy fulfilling life, Craig's experience of switching on his higher brain shows that we can discover even deeper levels of contentment.  

With over three decades of experience, Craig is a Licensed Psychologist, Clinical Social Worker (Emeritus), and published Leadership Development Specialist. Previously, Craig was a national pioneer, trainer, coach and published author in professional journals in the breakthrough understanding known as the Three Principles (Mind-Consciousness-Thought). Craig left his 30-year practice to devote his full time to bringing Higher Brain Living® to the world. As co-owner of an AWAKEN Higher Brain Living™ center in the Northeast Arts District of Minneapolis with his oldest son Zach, he has created and grown a dynamic and the largest AWAKEN Center in the nation—currently with 10 outstanding Facilitators and 2 support staff. He was instrumental in obtaining approval for the first professional internship in Higher Brain Living® from an accredited graduate school. Like this episode?

Thought, Perception, Principles AND the Brian!Sydney Banks stated, "Mind energizes the brain." Every thought and perception, every experience, every state of consciousness, every level of consciousness has a physiological correlate in the brain. When personal mind, consciousness and thought changes, the brain changes. When the brain changes, personal mind, consciousness and thought change. No exceptions.With this integral understanding - or what Syd referred to as "the Oneness" - new potentials for healing and transformation open, not only for individuals but for humanity globally as a whole.Join host Jeanne Catherine as she interviews psychologist Craig Polsfuss on the neuroscience of higher brain function and the impact of understanding the principles.Craig will share simple client-friendly language and be available for questions from callers. Join us for a unique, interesting a hopefully transformative experience for all! The bottom line from Craig:The Three Principles have deepened, expanded and accelerated the health, understanding and effectiveness of Higher Brain Living clients and facilitators who have studied them.Higher Brain Living physiologically energizes and awakens the prefrontal cortex and whole-brain functioning. This in turn accelerates all healthy and productive approaches and practices, like fitness, nutrition, yoga, and the Three Principles!We are blessed that Mind does not restrict its gifts to those who are open and willing.Bio: Craig Polsfuss is a first-generation Three Principles teacher, having learned directly from Sydney Banks over 30 years ago. He was one of the first psychologists and clinical social workers to teach the Three Principles. He has two peer reviewed articles published in professional journals applying the Three Principles to leadership and high performance. He currently conducts an online principles-based coaching and Three Principles certification service.Craig recently expanded his knowledge of the brain and its role in healing and personal transformation, becoming trained in the Higher Brain Living system. He subsequently became: A Mastery-level FacilitatorA facilitator trainer And was invited by founder Dr. Michael Cotton onto the national leadership team as the Director of Professional Outreach & EducationCraig can educate and enroll those interested in facilitator certification trainingSince Higher Brain Living changes the brain physiology and thereby accelerating its positive functions, Craig has been especially inspired to bring it to the Three Principles community. On the flip side, Craig has been bringing the Three Principles to the Higher Brain Living community for the past 4 years, teaching the Three Principles from the stage in the annual facilitator training. This great like-minded group absolutely resonates with and loves the Three Principles. Craig has created a special private Facebook group for those interested in both Higher Brain Living and the Three Principles.
