Today, we touch on:Motherhood is no joke! It's way harder than it looks from the outside, especially when your own emotions get involved.In the heat of a meltdown, kids aren't being “bad,” they're stuck in their emotional brain, not their thinking brain.There's no perfect time to work on emotional growth. Start where you are.Getting support isn't weakness, it's wisdom.Kids learn emotional regulation by watching us.

Since then, their relationships to Israel have diverged but they have refused to be divided. In this episode we discuss:Why did Aharon initially choose to stay anonymous to protect his parents from public pushback?How can we identify positive qualities in people we viscerally disagree with? Do differences over Israel and Zionism need to tear families apart? Tune in to hear a conversation about how the Jewish People can learn to think less institutionally and more familially. Interview begins at 19:08.Rabbi Judah Dardik is an Assistant Dean and full-time Ramm at Yeshivat Orayta in the Old City of Jerusalem, where he teaches and oversees student welfare. He is also the Dean of the Orayta Center for Jewish Leadership and Engagement. Before making Aliyah, he completed 13 years as the spiritual and community leader of Beth Jacob Congregation, in Oakland, California.Naomi Dardik, with her husband, Judah, served the Beth Jacob community in Oakland for thirteen years. Now, she leads the team of Relationship Experts at "OurRitual," a young company based in Tel Aviv that is building new ways to help couples access relationship support. She earned her BA in psychology from Barnard College and her MSW from UC Berkeley.Aharon Akiva Dardik is a philosophy and political science double major at Columbia University.

Messy Family Podcast : Catholic conversations on marriage and family

"God gives us our children to heal and transform us." - Kyle Wester   Summary In many ways, being a parent is less about our kids and more about our own formation!  When we lean into the vocation of parenthood, God can use every experience with our children to show us His love and to form us into the person He has created us to be.  In this podcast, we talk to Kyle and Sara Wester, counselors and hosts of the podcast The Art of Raising Humans. During our conversation, they explained four different parenting styles that we move in and out of depending on our life circumstances, how our marriage is actually the most important parenting tool we have, and how our understanding of who we are in the eyes of God affects how we relate to our kids.  This podcast is full of great insights for parents and we know you will gain from the Wester's wisdom.     Key Takeaways Children need to be taught relationship skills and correct behavior.  The most powerful way they learn is by watching how you relate to your spouse.  God gives us our children to heal and transform us.  To love our children effectively, we need to first receive God's love for us personally.  Every conflict with our spouse or children is about expectations.   When our child exhibits behavior that is inappropriate for a situation, we need to ask ourselves, “What is this behavior telling me about this child?” Discipline comes from discipleship and the foundation of discipleship is relationship.  We all must work on having a deep and rich relationship with our children to form them.   There are 4 different parenting styles that we move through depending on our life circumstances.  We don't always choose what is best, but we can keep in mind the goal of Loving Guidance and move towards that.  Recommended books from the Westers: Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids by Dr. Laura Markham Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline by by Rebecca Bailey Playful Parenting by Lawrence Cohen No Drama Discipline by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson   Couple Discussion Questions Are we happy with how we are modeling conflict resolution for our children? How can we do this better?  What in our children do we see in ourselves?  Write these things down.  Do we love these things in ourselves? Why or why not?   Resources:   The Art of Raising Humans Podcast Link    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumans   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumans?igsh=MXkyOGRwbzJ2ZDF1MQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@artofraisinghumans?_t=8itlE1tnZSF&_r=1

Siegel Summary"No-Drama Discipline" is a book written by renowned psychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson. The book focuses on providing parents and caregivers with effective strategies for disciplining children without resorting to punishment or harsh measures. The central theme of the book is to view discipline as an opportunity for teaching and connecting with children rather than as a punishment. The authors argue that traditional disciplinary techniques such as time-outs, spanking, or yelling are not effective in the long run and can damage the parent-child relationship. Instead, they propose a more empathetic and compassionate approach to discipline.The book introduces the concept of "connect and redirect," which involves first establishing a strong emotional connection with the child and then providing guidance and redirection when needed. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding and regulating emotions, both for children and parents, as a critical aspect of disciplining effectively.Siegel and Payne Bryson also discuss the importance of setting clear limits and boundaries for children, while still allowing them the space to make mistakes and learn from them. They explain how parents can communicate expectations to children in a respectful and compassionate way, without shaming or humiliating them.The book provides practical techniques, such as the "time-in" approach, in which parents spend time in close proximity to a child in distress instead of using traditional time-outs. The authors also offer strategies for problem-solving and conflict resolution, teaching children to take responsibility for their actions and make amends when necessary.Throughout the book, the authors provide numerous examples and anecdotes illustrating how the principles of "no-drama discipline" can be applied in real-life situations. They emphasize the importance of staying calm and regulated as a parent, as well as the need for consistent and predictable discipline.In summary, "No-Drama Discipline" offers a compassionate and effective approach to disciplining children without resorting to punishment or aggression. It emphasizes the importance of connection, understanding emotions, setting limits, and problem-solving.

There are as many ways to parent as there are parents in the world, but is there a “right” way to parent. Of course that answer is no, but there are definitely ways to parent that help meet your children where they are. Both developmentally and emotionally. No matter what, parenting is hard, but sometimes it's easier to navigate those challenges with responsive parenting. Liz Luize is an educator, daycare owner, and M.Ed in Learning, Cognition, and Development. After becoming a mom, she found her mission to empower parents with research-driven insights to boost their children's cognitive and emotional growth. Through her Instagram page, she offers a blend of scientifically-backed parenting tips and real talk, dedicated to nurturing the holistic development of tiny humans.  Listen as Liz shares more about what responsive parenting is, what it isn't, how she's applied it both at home and in the classroom, and how it compares to some of the other parenting styles you hear about. Again, there is no one right way to parent and we're all going to make mistakes. So no matter what style of parenting you choose to employ, give yourself, and your children, grace.    In this episode, we discuss:  What responsive parenting is How parents can strike a balance between setting boundaries and being responsive to their child's needs in discipline The differences between gentle parenting, permissive parenting, and responsive parenting Tips on how to foster open and empathetic communication with children Resources:  “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk” by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish - https://www.amazon.com/How-Talk-Kids-Will-Listen/dp/1451663889 “Good Inside” Dr. Becky Kennedy - https://www.amazon.com/Good-Inside/dp/0008505543/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1699973848&sr=1-1 “The Whole Brain Child” by Daniel J.

“As the acceptance of expanded human potential gains mainstream momentum, the question has shifted from “What is possible in our lives?” to “How do we do it? How do we awaken our extraordinary potential in everyday life?” Welcome to PART 2 of our review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. On today's EPISODE #310 on "Decoding Our Thoughts: How to Build a Better Future with the Power of Our Mind" and PART 2 of our Review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, we will cover:  ✔ 3 Important Concepts in Dr. Joe Dispenza's book,  Becoming Supernatural that have the ability to change YOUR life, when implemented. IMPORTANT CONCEPT 1:  Accessing the Present Moment IMPORTANT CONCEPT 2:  Mental Rehearsal: Priming Your Body for a New Future IMPORTANT CONCEPT 3:  Elevated Emotion ✔ What science has to say about these timeless success principles? ✔ Strategies to IMPLEMENT these principles into our daily life for improved results. ✔ How to use our emotions FOR us, rather than AGAINST us. ✔ Why we must continue to learn more about WHO WE ARE for improved results ✔ How METACOGNITION (and our awareness of how we think, act and feel) creates AHA Moments of Learning in our daily life.  Today we will continue our exploration of how exactly we live up to the full potential we all have within us, or like the name of Joe Dispenza's book, Becoming Supernatural: How Common People are Doing the Uncommon. Today as we cover PART 2 of this exploration we will identify clear strategies to awaken the extraordinary potential in each of us, and these will be evidence-based strtegies, that are proven with science.  Becoming Supernatural, is the first-of-its-kind manual that does precisely this: it leads us on a step-by-step journey to achieving our greatest potential in body, health, relationships, and our life purpose and allows us to make that journey at our own pace. We only cover ideas and concepts on this podcast that have the potential to change our lives, and I'm on a mission to connect the most current brain research to concepts that have been taught successfully to students for centuries, connecting the science to these age-old success principles. This book study has taken me some time to think, and consolidate what I'm learning since we released PART 1 the end of September. I needed this time to put Dr. Dispenza's ideas and meditations into practice, and have spent the past month immersed in his teachings. As mentioned in the first part of this study, this is a shallow dive, and is just the beginning. I do hope that our review today helps us to ALL unlock more of the mysteries within the unseen world, as we learn to put these concepts into practice in our daily life. I'm sure we will return to this episode in the future, but this is where we will start our journey today. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) 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 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    For those tuning into this episode, and you've not listened to EP 306[i] yet, I do encourage you to begin there. You will learn the background of where I first heard of Dr. Joe Dispenza, and how I was forbidden to cover his work on this podcast, since my neuroscience certification coach, researcher Mark Waldman, would consider his work pseudoscience. We covered how even Dr. Joe Dispenza himself used to worry about what other people in the scientific community thought of him, until he stopped. He said this himself at the start of Becoming Supernatural[ii] reminding me of the importance of always being your true, authentic self, and NEVER worry about those who criticize your work. He said: Until he saw how much of his “vital” energy he was wasting and went on to study with full force, a world that modern science hasn't been able to explain, how regular “common” people, like you and me, are actually doing the “uncommon.” Who is Dr. Dispenza? He's a doctor, a scientist, and a modern-day mystic who draws from diverse fields of rock-solid science, such as epigenetics, molecular biology, neurocardiology, and quantum physics, crossing the traditional boundaries that have separated scientific thinking and human experience in the past. In this process he opens the door to a new paradigm of empowerment—a new way of thinking and living based upon what we sense is possible in our lives, as well as what we accept as scientific fact. In PART 1 of our review of Becoming Supernatural, I shared that I had my own questions about Dr. Dispenza's work, especially after hearing about some of the results people were attaining during and after his seminars. Over the years, I would stop and listen to Joe Dispenza's work, remembering how he measured people's brains BEFORE his events, and then AFTER, and while I would say that to all the questions I had about his work, I knew the answers were a solid “YES” I just wondered what the research said. Can our current, present day thoughts impact our future? Can we impact our own health (and results for that matter) purely by what we think? Can my energy influence another person, and can someone else's energy influence mine? Can someone's energy be felt? Can our energy field be seen? “YES,  was the answer to each question, but how” I always wondered. While researching the tools that Dr. Dispenza used to measure participants' brains at his seminars, I came across one tool he called Gas Discharge Visualization, that I had heard of from someone who works in Singapore, connected to Bruce Lipton Ph.D , who is a cell biologist and leading authority in epigenetics.[iii] We'll cover Bruce Lipton's work at a later date, but it was this GDV tool that led me to the fascinating work of Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, that we covered on EP 307[iv], providing us with some answers to my questions of HOW and WHAT Dr. Dispenza was using to measure people's brains with at his events. As I said in PART 1 of this review of Dr. Dispenza's work, this is a shallow dive, not a deep one, that will just begin to scratch the surface of what it means for us to become Superhuman, and stretch ourselves beyond where our minds may never have travelled to before. Dr. Dispenza has made scientific history[v] with his findings (measuring HRV, or the energy around people's bodies) and his most recent breakthrough in scientific research includes his team's research paper that shows Meditations Impact on Immunity.[vi] I want to focus today on this particular angle with this groundbreaking research because my work with neuroscience began looking at the impact of stress on our brain as it relates to learning. You can go through some of our earlier episodes with Dr. Bruce Perry, or Dr. Lori Desautels, but what I'm most interested in today, that you can see with the direction of our podcast episodes since the Pandemic, is what we can do to mitigate the impact of stress on our health, wellbeing and longevity, in addition to creating the highest performing, 2.0 versions of ourselves. So for today's episode #310 “Decoding Our Thoughts: How to Build a Better Future with the Power of Our Mind” and PART 2 of our review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, we will pick up where we left off with Chapter 2 of Becoming Supernatural and look at how exactly a stressful situation can hurt us (mentally, physically and emotionally) or NOT. Chapter 2: The Present Moment We know that the way a person thinks and feels creates a person's state of well-being. We know this can be scientifically proven by Dr. Korotkov's GDV technology just by measuring the energy field of our finger tips and he can with accuracy, tell us what's going on inside that person's body (emotionally, psychologically) and then determine our relationship with this inner state to the outer world. Or in other words, what we THINK, on the inside, will show up on the outside. Dr. Korotkov explained that even animals respond to our thoughts, and know when we are approachable, or not, the minute we walk in through the front door of our homes. Why Do Our Emotions and Our Thoughts Matter? What exactly is it that our pets are sensing? This is where the iceberg model comes back into play. We could be consciously walking through the doorway, with the 5% of what's going on in our conscious mind radiating out to the world, but the 95% of what's going on under the iceberg, our unconscious habits, hardwired attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, perceptions, all functioning automatically, and that's what our pets are picking up. We dove deep into our conscious mind and our five senses on EP 293[vii] (looking the 5% of ourselves that can be seen and felt with our senses, and then what's beyond our five senses on EP #294[viii] looking into the faculties of our mind, and what's beneath the surface of the iceberg, or what's going on beyond our 5 senses. The difficult part, or the part where most of us become stuck, is HOW on the earth do we see what's happening in our subconscious mind, the part of us that's controlling 95% of who we are and what we do, if it's ALL under water, so to speak? LISTEN HERE…THIS IS THE KEY TO THIS WHOLE EPISODE Dr. Dispenza explains how an emotion hits our body (through our life situations-call whatever it may be), and causes some sort of emotional reaction. Maybe something happens to you in your personal life, and you hold negative emotions towards your ex-relationship, or it could be something in your work life, or it something random happens to you that changes your personality (puts you in a mood first, and over time changes your personality).  He says that we must learn to “shorten the refractory period of an emotional reaction” which is really where the work starts. What does this mean? So something happens to us, (and it will, no one is immune from life's situations unless we live and a cave) and we want to complain about it to everyone we know. We were wronged in some way. It feels horrible, trust me, I know! BUT resist doing this. Since we know from Dr. Korotkov's GDV tool, that our thoughts matter, we must be VERY careful about the thoughts we think. I'm not saying that we pretend something doesn't bother us, but listen to what Dr. Dispenza says. We must learn to “shorten the refractory period of our emotional reactions” because otherwise, we will repeat that same story over and over again in our head, and every time we do this, we flood our body with the same chemicals that were flooding our body when this event occurred, and since our body “is the unconscious mind, and doesn't know the difference between the experience that's creating the emotion (from the past) and the emotion you are creating through thought alone (in the present)”[ix] so in order to change our FUTURE results, we must to break this hard-wired programming. This is not easy, but it's the SECRET to changing your results in the future. If we look at the image in the show notes that I hand drew from Chapter 2 of Becoming Supernatural, you will see that if we cannot change, and break our hard-wired programming, we will re-create our past experiences into our future, and prevent us from EVER hitting that unknown event (whatever it might be-a new job, or unexpected experience) or something that could possibly take us to new heights. IMAGE CREDIT: Andrea hand drew the image from Chapter 2 Becoming Superhuman WHY IS CHANGE SO DIFFICULT? It's because it's uncomfortable and unfamiliar. It's always easy to blame someone else for your results, or a situation, but to take responsibility for it, let it go, and move forward, well that's not as easy. We are working with the 95% of us that's hidden under water here. These patterns and beliefs are hard-wired into our brain, so they are not easy to break. HOW EXACTLY DO WE STOP OUR PATTERNS AND PAST BEHAVIORS? We do this by staying in the present moment (which is the whole idea of Chapter 2) and STOP the thoughts and emotions that went along with whatever it was that happened to us. That emotional event that changed you somehow. This will stop your pattern of thinking. It's here that I bring in a diagram on Metacognition that I created in 2014 adapted from Dr. Newberg and Mark Waldman's “Spectrum of Human Consciousness Model.”  When we become consciously aware of how we think, act and feel, this is Metacognition and where we create AHA Moments of learning in our lives. Start at the bottom of the diagram: Instinctive Learning: Do you know yourself? Are you aware of the thoughts, feelings and actions you are having that might be keeping you stuck somewhere? If you've never explored this area, Hazel Gale's work from EP #308[x] is a good place to begin. Habitual Learning: Can you CHANGE the way you are used to thinking and feeling? Do something differently? Move forward instead of getting stuck? Intentional Learning: Can you set a goal to CHANGE something, and make this change stick? Instead of blaming someone for your results, take responsibility and move forward somehow? Creative Learning: Can you use meditation (which actually means to become familiar with thyself) to find some answers, learn something new, give you a new angle of outlook on your life? AHA Moment: What knowledge about yourself can you glean here? Did you see something NEW? Learn a new idea? Did you write it down and take action on it?  Jack Canfield would call this taking “inspired” action. This is METACOGNITION and is the key to peeling back the onion layers of yourself, and help you to deepen your understanding of who you are.   PUTTING THIS INTO ACTION: Chapter 2 Living in the Present Moment Remember it's not going to be easy. START WITH INSTINCTIVE LEARNING: THE FIRST STEP IN THE METACOGNTION DIAGRAM KNOW THYSELF: What happened to you? So something happened to us in our life (some sort of event) that caused an emotional reaction within us. This can be ANYTHING. If I think back to past guests, I know that my colleague Grace Reynolds[xi] experienced significant trauma in her life as a child (an event) that changed her life, until she did the hard work to heal herself from her traumatic life experiences.  This is now her life's work. I also can never forget Hans Appel[xii], a school counselor whose book, Award Winning Culture took off in schools across the country.  I remember while reading Hans' book, it was in the first few pages that he mentioned how he had a difficult childhood, and he talked about how the sound of his back door opening after school would make his skin crawl as he remembered the trauma that would occur for him in his life after school, urging him to spend more and more time at school, away from home. This is also now Hans' life's work to help others through traumatic events. These are two extreme cases an event that caused trauma, but an event could be anything that takes you from a positive, creative state of being (where our immune system functions well) to a stressful state of being, that we know scientifically down regulates certain genes and creates disease in our body. PRACTICE STAYING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT This will prevent us from unconsciously slipping back into our OLD self. Dr. Dispenza does have meditations[xiii] that can assist with staying present, and with time, helping us to automatically live in the present moment, and shortening that “refractive period” of the emotional experiences that happen to us. BEFORE I sent ANY of you to Dr. Dispenza's website, I have to say that I first found out about his meditations by chance. After our episode of HRV[xiv], someone (a male) wrote to me on social media that he had raised his HRV significantly with Dr. Dispenza's “Courageous Heart Meditation.” We will talk about the benefits of this meditation a bit later, but I have to tell you here that I looked up this meditation, and listened to it, and thought “there is NO way I could ever listen to that!” It was so far away from what I was used to with Vishen Lakiani's calm and quiet voice, or Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness. This meditation opens up like a lion roaring, with this voice, (Joe Dispenza) yelling at me to “sit down, and open my heart.” The first time I listened to it, I turned it off after probably 30 seconds. This would not relax me, but stress me out. It wasn't until I understood the purpose of the meditation and what it was actually designed for (to help men to open their hearts that I was finally open enough to begin listening to this meditation, and some others, every day, to finally see their benefits that has to do with developing a coherent heart and brain. Go to Joe Dispenza's website and check out his mediations for yourself. https://drjoedispenza.com/ Over time, and some introspection, I promise you will begin to see yourself in a whole new light which is the meaning behind the word “meditation” which means to “know thyself.” This brings us to the next concept I think is important to note with Becoming Supernatural. Chapter 2:  Mental Rehearsal: Priming Your Body for a New Future So what happens to the health of our body if we have an “event” in our life that causes us to have some sort of negative, emotional charge? Dr. Dispenza explains the need of “staying in the present moment” and recognizing when something could possibly impact our future (health or results) with his interview with Tom Bilyeu[xv]. If our thinking creates our environment (Bob Proctor would say “our thoughts, feelings and actions would determine our results or our conditions, circumstances and environments.”) then in order to change something we don't like, we have to either change our thinking, or change our environment, to get new results. Wayne Dyer would say “if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” MENTAL REHEARSAL: There are many examples in Dr. Dispenza's book of people who changed their health, purely by changing their thoughts. I've heard of many people over the years who have used “mental rehearsal” to heal their bodies and keep them strong in the future. My Mom shared with me that she did this when she was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer, we talked about this in our Review of The Silva Method, and I heard woman's story[xvi] that I'll link in the show notes that's by far the most compelling story I've ever heard. She healed her body from watching Dr. Dispenza on Tom Bilyeu's interview we mentioned above. IMAGE CREDIT: Andrea hand drew the image from Chapter 2 Becoming Superhuman PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE: I asked Dr. Korotkov at the end of EP 307 what he thinks we should all be doing, every day, to raise our own vibration/consciousness as well as the collective consciousness of those around the world, and I'll never forget his answer. He said that we should find a way to balance our chakras, and said there are many meditations out there (Joe Dispenza, or search on the internet).  This is the very first step towards balancing our mind, body and spirit and move towards to the many known benefits that daily meditation provides. START WITH INSTINCTIVE LEARNING: THE FIRST STEP IN THE METACOGNTION DIAGRAM Do you know yourself? When you are meditating are you learning something about yourself? Do you notice anything happening? Can you notice ANY benefits from your practice? This was the reason why I decided to cover The Silva Method[xvii] on our podcast, because I wanted to take my meditation practice to new heights. Then learn from the work that Dr. Dispenza has done over the years. He reminds us: Protect yourself from the harmful effects of stress on your body. Imagine your energy field shrinking when you are living in survival mode, and find a way to the other side. Meditation alone can be the answer to helping you back towards health. Since Dr. Dispenza has measured so many participants with the effects of his meditations, I would have to say that I highly recommend them, especially after noticing what they have done to help me personally while listening to them. All Chapters: Elevated Emotion This last concept I noticed the most after listening to Dr. Dispenza's meditations for some time. He says that “they recorded amazing changes in HRV (heart rate variability) which is what that person told me on social media. Dispenza says “this is when we know a student is opening their heart and maintaining elevated emotions like gratitude, inspiration, joy, kindness, appreciation and compassion, which cause the heart to beat in a coherent fashion—that is with rhythm, order and balance.”  This is the important part. I think we can all say it's important to be happy, and joyful (rather than dwelling on the negative parts of our day) but it also “takes a clear intention, (a coherent brain) AND an elevated emotion (a coherent heart) to begin to change a person's biology from living in the past to living in the future.” There is clear evidence that we are “bound by an invisible field of light” (Dispenza) and have tremendous power that can influence ourselves and others. Dr. Dispenza was measuring the internal changes with his tools and this “feedback” was letting that person know they were on the right track and should keep doing what they were doing.  We learned all about neurofeedback on our last episode with Dianne Kosto. When you create heart coherence, your heart (he says) “creates a magnetic field that projects beyond your body.” What you DO with this energy is important. You can use it for yourself (whatever it is you are working on) or you can project it out in the world to help others. PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE: I wouldn't go anywhere other than the Courageous Heart Meditation[xviii] to elevate your emotions. You can find this meditation on YouTube, but if you find the ads distracting, just buy it for $25 from Dr. Dispenza's website. You'll access 37 minutes of pure bliss every day, that will help you to tune into love, joy, kindness and compassion. You'll change your world, as well as add to the collective consciousness of the rest of the world. START WITH INSTINCTIVE LEARNING: THE FIRST STEP IN THE METACOGNTION DIAGRAM Do you know yourself? As you begin to find ways to open your heart, just be open. I didn't think it would be possible to open my heart up more but I was open to what I would notice, and I know since listening to this meditation my heart has now open up to a whole new level.  Once we can get to this place, where we are in the present moment, we've mentally rehearsed the future we want to create, we've embraced emotions (like joy, peace, appreciation, and love) in our heart, our heart and brain now gain coherence, and this is where it happens, we can connect to the quantum field (where all possibility exists), where time and space collapses and you can literally BECOME your dream. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude episode #310 “Decoding Our Thoughts: How to Build a Better Future with the Power of Our Mind” and PART 2 of our review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, we covered 3 topics and used the METACOGNITION diagram as a guide to deepen our understanding of who we are in this process. IMPORTANT CONCEPT 1: Was About Accessing the Present Moment I said that this was the most important part of this episode. We learned how an emotion hits our body (through our life situations-call it whatever it may be), and this causes some sort of emotional reaction. Maybe something happens to you in your personal life, and you hold negative emotions towards your ex-relationship, or it could be something in your work life, or something random happens to you that changes your personality (puts you in a mood first, and over time changes your personality).  We learned of the importance of shortening “the refractory period of an emotional reaction” which is really where the work starts. If we don't do this, holding in this negative emotion can impact our physical and mental health, and we know this to be scientifically true, with Dr. Korotkov's GDV technology. We learned how to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of stress on our body and imagining our energy field shrinking when we are living in survival mode. Meditation alone can be the answer to helping you back towards health and even Dr. Andrew Huberman[xix] talks about this important strategy from a purely scientific angle. We can go back to our early episode with Dr. Daniel Siegel[xx] where he talks about the healing benefits of his Wheel of Awareness Meditation that we also covered in depth on a later EP 60[xxi], The Science and Benefits Behind Dr. Siegel's Wheel of Awareness Meditation.  Just a reminder of some of the health benefits Dr. Siegel mentioned, they are RIGHT on track with Dr. Dispenza's findings. There's an integration of structure and function of the brain (integration means well-being). There's a reduction of the stress hormone cortisol. There's an enhancement of immune function. Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors. Reduction in inflammation via epigenetic changes. An optimization of telomerase—which is fascinating as it repairs and maintains the ends of chromosomes and slows aging. I'll leave it up to you with WHAT meditation tool you use, but I do highly encourage trying Dr. Dispenza's meditations, in additions to the ones I talk about often on this podcast.   IMPORTANT CONCEPT 2:  Mental Rehearsal: Priming Your Body for a New Future We learned how to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of stress on our body with the importance of being able to use mental rehearsals by imagining our energy field shrinking when we are living in survival mode, and finding a way to the other side, creating a NEW future in our mind first. We reviewed how meditation alone could be the answer to helping us back towards health, and creating a new future. We don't need to look far for the research behind this concept as it's been used for decades in the sports industry. Dr. Andrew Huberman covered it on an episode called Science-Based Mental Training and Visualization for Improved Learning[xxii] as well as his episode on How to Learn Skills Faster[xxiii] that we have covered in the past. IMPORTANT CONCEPT 3:  Elevated Emotion We learned from Dr. Dispenza, who is by far the leading expert on this concept, that a student who is opening their heart and maintaining elevated emotions like gratitude, inspiration, joy, kindness, appreciation and compassion, which causes the heart to beat in a coherent fashion creating order and balance” can take themselves to the quantum field, where ALL possibilities exist. Remember that diagram with the unforeseen event that happens in the future, it's not happening by chance or luck. I know we all know on some level that it's important to be happy, and joyful (rather than dwelling on the negative parts of our day) but it also “takes a clear intention, (a coherent brain-or the idea that if our brain is working right, then we will work right) AND an elevated emotion (a coherent heart) to begin to change a person from living in the past to living in that place where ALL possibilities exist. This is the way to create a beautiful future, and we can ALL do this, when we can learn to live these 3 important concepts on a daily basis. This last one, the only way I know how to do this, or explain this with the highest level of confidence, is through Dr. Dispenza's Courageous Heart Meditation. He explains How to Feel Elevated Emotions You've Never Felt Before[xxiv] by learning to set a clear intention (of what you want) with a heart centered emotion (gratitude, love, or joy) and know that you can CAUSE an effect in the FUTURE with the power of your intention, connected to the positive emotion you have created.  I can say that nothing I have ever experienced is like the minute I turned on the Courageous Heart Meditation. I mentioned it wasn't the first time I listened to it. It took me some time from reading Becoming Supernatural to trust that Dr. Dispenza has created something that I've never seen or felt before, and was open to trying it out.  Learning what it feels like to have a coherent heart and brain. To feel his music pulsating through me as he reminds me to “sit down” and open my heart. The love I feel while listening to this meditation is beautiful as I learn to feel with an open heart, and trust/balance my heart and brain. Only now, that I've truly started on the pathway to implementing these 3 important concepts in my daily life, am I confident that the future I envision on the screen of my mind is not only possible, but it's probable, as I watch events occur daily that most people would say are impossible, or that they are happening by chance or luck. We know this is not the case. It starts with living in the present moment (not the past) or worrying about the future but just living, mentally rehearsing the future, with elevated emotion… And then watch the magic happen.  With 100% certainty I can tell you if you can master these 3 principles on a daily basis, it will change your life, literally!  I'll close with the quote I opened up our most downloaded episode with, The Silva Method, from Jose Silva that “once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Jose Silva (August 11, 1914-February 7, 1999) author of The Silva Mind Control Method.

If you've ever sent your child to time out and left them there longer than you planned…you're not alone. Been there, done that. But what are the effects of sending our kids to their rooms when they are at the height of their emotions? Brooke Vincent, Licensed Professional Counselor, helps us understand WHY we choose Time-Out (we all have the best intentions), WHAT happens for both the parent and child when we take a time-out, and HOW we can try something different—a better way.In short,  a time-out is a “behavior management tool” (quick fix). It separates the child from their primary caregiver in their most intense emotional moment, which fractures the attachment bond. While in time-out, a child's emotional distress increases because of the separation, so they cannot “think about it” or “learn from it” at that moment. Brooke suggests using a method that is not a punishment or threat, but a way to help kids regulate their emotions with their caregiver still in sight thereby allowing the secure attachment to stay intact. She recommends parents not use the language “time-in” with kids, but instead use that language internally to remind themselves to remain WITH their child during that emotionally intense time, help them calm their body and identify their emotions so you both can move through to the part where you talk about the behavior they chose to express that caused the problem. Time-outs, while we believe “work”, are quick short-term punishments that have long-term negative consequences. Time-ins are more effective in helping a child calm down and regulate their emotions and contribute positively to the long game of them being able to regulate their emotions and make better choices on their own, going forward. For more information on Time-In vs. Time-Out, check out the book Peaceful Parenting.  You can also visit Eli Harwood at attachmentnerd.com to access more information on how to raise secure, confident, thriving kids without sacrificing your sanity!Brooke also recommends the following parenting books which speak to fostering healthy attachment in kids.

“Now it's time to update my grandfather's words by explaining them, and, by doing so, changing our understanding of our place on the planet, who we are, and what goes on inside and between us. It's about reconnecting our sense of self and soul with our waterways and oceans. It's about finding our creativity, clarity, and confidence in our deep Blue Minds.” Celine Cousteau, who opens up Wallace J. Nichols' Blue Mind book, with a fascinating look into the depths of the ocean, reminding us of the words that meant the most to her from her grandfather, the great, Jacques Cousteau, that “The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. People protect what they love.” Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/wwx1jrHj33c On today's EPISODE #297 "Blue-Mind: The Surprising Science That Connects Our Brain to Water" we will cover: ✔ What made Dr. Wallace J. Nichols connect the mysteries of the ocean, to our brain. ✔ How he gathered research for this book, and made real world connections between neuroscience and the water, never explored before. ✔ Why we are often more connected, emotional and happier around water. ✔ What Dr. Nichols noticed when he wore a waterproof EEC cap and measured his brain while swimming in the ocean. ✔ How Blue Mind can help us to become more self-aware, and move us towards freedom, possibility, wonder and hope. ✔ Easy ways we can all access and practice Blue Mind, especially on World Blue Mind Day, this Sunday July 23rd.        Welcome back to Season 10 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) 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 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    For today's episode #297, we are diving into the depths of the ocean, and learning about some concepts that Dr. Wallace J Nichols[i] has discovered that he calls “Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, or Under Water, Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected and Better at What You Do.”  When I was first introduced to Dr. Nichols, I was on a summer vacation with the family and just packing up our trip next to the clearest, bluest water I have ever seen on Grace Bay, in Turks and Caicos. My friend and Performance Coach Luke DePron, from EP 90[ii] sent me an introduction to Dr. Nichols for our podcast, and when I saw his book, I couldn't have been more excited. I always want to understand the “why” behind certain things, and the ocean (and water in general) is something I've always been fascinated with. I took one look at Dr. Nichols' book, Blue Mind, and I was instantly captivated. He asks some of the questions I've always wondered: What is water, and Why are we as humans so enthralled by it? Then I looked at the cover of the book, and the tagline got me thinking more: What happens to me when I'm swimming in water? Why do I suddenly feel more creative than I do when I'm sitting at my desk? Or more connected to others? What happens to me when I dive down to the bottom of the ocean? Now I'm reading Dr. Nichols' book, hoping to answer these questions, and also a bit surprised that I never thought of the brain/water connection. If you've been following this podcast for some time, you'll know that I've been working on the brain/and learning connection and neuroscience is helping the field of education to make huge strides as we know so much more about how the brain learns best today, than we did 20 years ago. What we are doing essentially, is expanding our level of awareness. Then I read about awareness from the late author David Foster Wallace, who said in a commencement speech in 2005 that “education should be based on awareness. Awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time.” (location 175, Blue Mind). Now my mind is wide open, my level of awareness has expanded, as he says “this is water” and I'm now making the Mind/Brain connection. This is just the beginning. I've got some questions for Dr. Nichols that I hope will expand ALL of our levels of awareness around this thing called water, and how this understanding could possibly make our lives better, by making the brain/water connection. Let's meet Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, and dive deep under water together, to see what we can learn from this unique perspective and movement that he's called Blue Mind. Welcome Dr. Nichols. I'm sure you could see from my emails to you that this interview was very important to me. Something about being introduced to you when I was standing in front of the bluest water I've ever seen! Welcome and thank you for meeting with me today. Intro Q: After I saw the introduction to you from Luke, I quickly bought your book, and started my journey into Blue Mind, that took me on many twists and turns. I've got to begin with the Foreword, because it took me a minute to make the connection between Celine, and the great Jacques Cousteau who I grew up watching on television. What she wrote was profound. Can you talk about what she said about how “the sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever” and explain where this journey began for you? What was it the made you even think of connecting the complex mysteries of the brain to the ocean, both being similarly complex?  Q1: While reading your book, I noticed something right from the start and that was the research that you put throughout focused on the leading experts in the field of neuroscience. I noticed each name, because these are the names I've been focused on either interviewing on this podcast, or reading their books.  Dr. Daniel J Siegel[iii] and his Wheel of Awareness Meditation was one of our early interviews EP #28.[iv] I can list countless others (like Loretta Breuning) or even V.S Ramachandran who mentored Dr. Baland Jalal[v] who were interviewed about the mysteries of the dream world.  While you gathered all of the leading experts in the field of neuroscience in your book, like you, I wondered, why is our interaction with water left out of the research? Q2: “There's something about water that draws and fascinates us. No wonder: it's the most omnipresent substance on Earth and, along with air, the primary ingredient for supporting life as we know it.” (Page 8) I related to this as I swam underwater on this vacation, and noticed stronger than usual emotions, feelings and clarity when I touched the ocean floor. Now I'm curious. I never thought of measuring my brain while swimming. Why are many of us fascinated with the ocean? Q2B: Why do some of us feel so emotional around the water? Q3: What were some things you discovered about your brain with the waterproof EEG cap you used to measure your brain activity while swimming? Q4: I've got to dive into some of your findings a bit here, because I think they are important. I just interviewed a former MLB player, Mike Bordick, and he talked about the meditative nature of fishing that he would do after a busy season of baseball. I never thought about the meditative nature of swimming until you mentioned it in your book. Do you think that swimming could cause our brain waves to go from beta, to alpha (more relaxed) to theta where perhaps the creativity would occur? Is this what you saw when you measured your brain while swimming? We covered a program called The Silva Method[vi] that helps people to go into the alpha level during meditation, for accessing higher levels of creativity. Is this what's happening to our brain as we swim? Could the ocean possibly be kicking our brains into the theta brain state? Q5: We've spoken a lot on this podcast about expanding our level of awareness through study and I know that being curious is an important part of learning.  You say that “Blue Mind is deep down, about human curiosity, and knowing ourselves better.”  How can this idea you've discovered, Blue Mind, help us to become more self-aware and advance us forward? Q6: I noticed you called AZ “landlocked” and as someone who loves the water, I've often said the same thing about the state. I left Toronto for AZ, 22 years ago. I'm still here, but notice I'm most creative near the ocean. My writing just comes alive here. You go into this deeply in Ch. 6 but I wonder on the surface level, what have you discovered about the physical effects that a visit to the ocean can have on us? What are some ways we can experience Blue Mind is we aren't near the ocean? Q7: Did I ever relate to your book, especially when you wanted to look into the science behind our emotional connection to water and you were told “Keep that fuzzy stuff out of your science, young man. Emotion wasn't rational. It wasn't quantifiable. It wasn't science. “ I remember Dr. Daniel J Siegel, who you mentioned throughout your book was told the same thing with medicine, (to keep his emotions out of treating his patients) and that was what made him quit, because he wasn't supposed to get emotionally connected to his patients which was so far away from the truth. I was geared towards science in the field of education any time I leaned towards to spiritual side of a person, being told to stay away from anything that science can't prove.  I'm on a mission to draw out this mind/brain/body connection which is why this podcast is called Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning.   What are we missing when we ignore the fuzzy stuff? We covered this question in our discussion: In Chapter 6, Red Mind, Grey Mind and Blue Mind, you go into the health benefits of water. I'm glad to see that you covered Red Mind and Grey Mind in your book, in addition to just the obvious Blue Mind, especially when anxiety is at an all-time high in our country, and I just wrote a question for another author about how stress halts our creative faculties. Can you address how water can help us to transition from the Red Mind of stress or the Grey Mind of numbed-out depression? Where have you seen the life-saving effects of Blue Mind? Q8: Van Curaza asked the question “What is your favorite thing about the beach?” on his popular Facebook page. For someone who has spent his career studying the ocean and water, what would be your answer?? Q9: The health benefits we've talked about are obvious but what touched me was how many ways water can help those struggling with addiction, of autistic children, or those struggling with PTSD. You mention programs that can help almost anyone who's struggling in some way, using the water. Or even those young kids you took over the border to Puerto Penasco. I was reading your book on the balcony, overlooking the sea of Cortez just imagining the look on these kids' faces as they saw the beautiful blue ocean for the first time. What have you seen that's impacted you the most with water's healing effects? Final thoughts. What is your vision with Blue Mind, especially as its World Blue Mind Day coming up this Sunday July 23? I read it while sitting next to the Sea of Cortez over July 4th weekend and it touched me deeply. Not just with how water impacts me personally, giving me answers but the vast research you've done, connecting the brain to the healing effects of water for others, and the numerous groups/organizations who are using the idea of Blue Mind to help others. Dr. Nichols, I want to thank you for your time this morning to share your book and movement, Blue Mind. I don't think you left a stone unturned with your research and how Blue Mind can help the world. Blue Mind is now a resource that I'll add to future episodes, tying in your research that makes a solid case for why being on, near, in or under the water can make us happier, healthier and more connected. Best of luck for where your vision takes you next. Final Thoughts and Reflections If you watch the YouTube version of this interview, you will see a body of water and a shipwreck in the photo. That was taken on our family trip to Turks and Caicos[vii] this past June, of the famous La Famille Express shipwreck that you can visit, and walk through. You can even jump off the back of the ship into the ocean, and in the photo that is throughout the video, I'm covered, but I'm standing on the back of the ship, too afraid to jump. I thought it was fitting to put this image throughout this interview, especially as we spoke about how to use the ocean to increase our level of awareness, happiness and creativity. What am I afraid of? I've always had this fear of jumping into water, and who knows where it came from. What's interesting is that you can see a photo of the crystal clear ocean on the website, showing me now that there would be no rocks or anything that could harm me while jumping into the ocean. Would this new knowledge make me less afraid?  I think it would. When we can see where we are going, the path becomes clearer, but when we are stressed out, what Dr. Nichols calls Red Mind, we can't think clearly. I remember standing on the back of the ship, and I'd thrown my shoes into the water so there was no other way I could walk down (through the rusted ship) but I still couldn't jump in. My RED mind had taken over and there was no ability for me to think or reason. I wish I had read Blue Mind before this experience. I know this increased awareness would have allowed me to blast through this fear. So for me, my biggest AHA moment and take-away is that we all increase of our levels of awareness with whatever it is in our life that's unknown that could be causing us stress, anxiety or worry. Like Dr. Nichols said, if something has got you feeling anxious, just try to find your way to water, and pay attention to how you are feeling. Reflect on what we discussed on this episode and see if you can begin to feel some level of peace, as you practice accessing Blue Mind into your daily life. If you know someone who might be struggling with something, grab their hand, and take them fishing. Sunday July 23rd is World Blue Mind Day. The most important part to this is to go out and practice Blue Mind and then see if it's something you can practice, and see where it takes you. To increased happiness, creativity, problem solving and thinking? Leading us to freedom, possibility, wonder and hope? I'm in…what about YOU?! I'd love to hear YOUR Blue Mind story, and what you think of this book, when you read it. I'll see you next week.

In this episode, Brooke Vincent, Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Marriage & Family Therapist, shares how we can diffuse temper tantrums in record time when we simply validate the feelings our child is experiencing when they are melting down and comfort them on their level. (I know, it seems hard when their behavior seems so disproportionate to the stimulus - like throwing a fit over having to put a firetruck away so they can eat lunch.)But, this method WORKS!  (Skip to minute 19 to get right to the meat of it)Take a listen to the episode for practical examples for connecting with your kids in ways that help improve their behavior AND foster a sense of safety and trust in the relationship with you. All of this fosters a healthy attachment with your child, which means they will have more successful relationships and be able to soothe themselves when difficult things occur, later in life. Brooke reminded us that we don't have to get it all right, all the time in parenting…but in fact “if we can attune to our kids (connect on an emotional and physical level with them) even 30% of the time, being sure to repair any ruptures (arguments or personal hurts), a secure attachment with our kids can be sustained”. Brooke recommends the following parenting books which support this way of fostering healthy attachment in kids. Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids by Dr Laura Markham,  The Whole Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel, Tina Payne Bryson, Parenting From the Inside Out by Daniel J. Siegel, Mary Hartzell, The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering our Children by Dr. Shefali TsabaryTo book a counseling session with Brooke, visit www.brookevincentcounseling.com.To find a MOPS community (Mothers of Preschoolers) in your neighborhood, visit https://www.mops.org/groupsearch/Purchase a copy of our newest Kids Journal: The Best ME I Can Be and find connection with your child with 5 minute daily check-ins.

What is the difference between the brain and the mind? When you make a big decision, do you listen to your mind, your heart, or your gut? Why do we ignore our gut instincts—our intuition and trust our mind only to find ourselves exactly where our gut told us we would end up with? Why do we do that? Well, if you want to have a better understanding of the differences between the brain, mind, consciousness, empathy, integration, and compassion, then this is the episode for you! About Dr. Daniel Siegel Dr. Siegel is a Clinical Professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and the founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Centre at UCLA. An award-winning educator, he is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and recipient of several honorary fellowships. Dr. Siegel has published extensively for both professional and lay audiences. With 5 New York Times bestsellers and now with his latest book IntraConnected: Mwe (me = We) as the Integration of Self, Identity and Belonging, exploring the nature of how our experience of what we call “self” emerges across the lifespan. Dr. Siegel's unique ability to make complicated scientific concepts exciting and accessible has led him to be invited to address diverse local, national, and international groups, including mental health professionals, neuroscientists, corporate leaders, educators, parents, public administrators, healthcare providers, policymakers, mediators, judges, and clergy. He has lectured for the King of Thailand, Pope John Paul II, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Google University, and London's Royal Society of Arts (RSA). He lives in Southern California with his family.

Both a personal and general meditation on identity and belonging, Daniel J. Siegel's book combines personal reflections with scientific discussions of how the mind, brain, and our relationships shape who we are. Weaving the internal and external, the subjective and objective, IntraConnected reveals how our culture may give us a message of separation as a solo, isolated self, but a wider perspective unveils that who we are may be something more—broader than the brain, bigger even than the body—and fundamental to social systems and the natural world. Our body-based self—the origin of a Me—is not only connected to others but connected within our relational worlds themselves—a WE—forming the essence of how we belong and our identity. If the pandemic has taught us nothing else, it has taught us that we are all connected. IntraConnected discusses that bond, as well as other realities of our intraconnected lives.

"Jaak Panksepp was the first and only neuroscientist who focused squarely on the emotional brain. There followed a lengthy and instructive series of emails between Jack and Lucy that ultimately resulted in the publication of this book" Jaak Panksepp and Lucy Biven, authors of the famous book that is often required reading for those studying an Introduction to the Field of Neuroscience, The Archeology of Mind. Watch our interview on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH3j5WDXvEk   On today's Episode #270 we will cover ✔  An introduction to Lucy Biven, who co-authored the well-known book, The Archeology of Mind, with Jaak Panksepp. ✔ How Lucy went from being the Head of Psychotherapy at the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in England, to writing a leading resource in the field of Neuroscience, with Jaak Panksepp. ✔ How neuroscience gave her answers to a court case she was asked to advise, that 19 experts in the field of child development couldn't solve, without an understanding of how our brain works. ✔ How an understanding of our brain can help us to be better parents, teachers, coaches and managers. ✔ Where Jaak Panksepp's work filled in the missing gaps for Lucy, opening doors with this new understanding of our brain, and emotions. ✔ 3 often discussed Theories about Emotions and Affect (Feedback Theory, Brainstem Theory and Conceptual Act Theory, or Theory of Constructed Emotion and which one Lucy believes in today. ✔ Lucy makes a case for Panksepp's Brainstem Theory, as well as Damasio's work. ✔ Lucy and Andrea discuss the hard question of consciousness and why all traditional attempts to answer this complex question, has failed. ✔ Lucy shares how she uses Panksepp's Brainstem Theory to help 2 boys knowing when to take the role of a coach, versus a traditional therapist, to help them to overcome mental blocks that were holding them back from living a successful life.  I'm so grateful to have this opportunity today to speak with Lucy Biven, who co-authored The Archeology of Mind, with the one and only, Jaak Panksepp. Those who study the field of neuroscience will know his name, and if you haven't heard of him, I hope this episode sheds some light on his work, combined with Lucy's as pioneer researchers in the field of Affective Neuroscience. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results. This season (Season 9) we will be focused on Neuroscience: Going Back to the Basics for the next few months, as we welcome some phenomenal pioneers in the field of Neuroscience, paving a pathway for all of us to navigate our lives with more understanding with our brain in mind. My goal with this next season (that will run until the end of June) is that going back to the basics will help us to strengthen our understanding of the brain, and our mind, to our results, and provide us with a springboard to propel us forward in 2023, with this solid backbone of science. With some new and exciting responsibilities on my end, we will be doing one episode a week, going back to the basics each week, that I know will be helpful for all of us. For today's guest and EPISODE #270, we will be speaking with someone who many of you who study in the field of neuroscience will recognize. There are those who I would call “rockstar” researchers, whose work has revolutionized the field. If you take a neuroscience course, or like I did, a Neuroscience Certification Program, you are a clinician, a psychotherapist, you will have come across her first book as required reading. Metapsychology Online Review thinks this book should be “essential reading not only for mind professionals, but for teachers, parents, personal and physical trainers and coaches.” So when I had an email from this next guest, one of the rockstar authors we come across and highlight in our notebooks, letting me know she has recently published a new book, and that her first book she co-authored with Jaak Panksepp, I almost fell off my chair in my office. She could have been Mick Jagger emailing me, as that would be the equivalent in this field of neuroscience research. Her first book The Archaeology of Mind[i] that she co-authored with Jaak Panksepp “describes the new scientific discipline called affective neuroscience, which seeks to illuminate how our most powerful emotional feelings—the primal emotional affects—arise from ancient neural networks situated in brain regions below the neo-cortical thinking cap.” "An exhaustive work, covering a neglected and often misunderstood field . . . . Nowhere else will you really find due diligence done on the non-conscious biases of humans and animals . . . . Essential reading, not only to us as mind professionals, but to teachers, parents, personal and physical trainers and coaches. Emotions are still everything, and vital to understanding why we are what we are, and why we do and have done, everything in the past and now. An amazing buy." ― Metapsychology Online Reviews "Panksepp's perspective on the continuity of animal and human minds has not received the attention it deserves. Here are the collected facts and the reasoning behind that compelling view. An indispensable volume." ― Antonio Damasio, author, Self Comes to Mind; David Dornsife Professor of Neuroscience and Director, Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California "This book has the capacity to integrate affective neuroscience into the consciousness of not only therapists, but also those interested in understanding depth motivation that sustains or pathologizes our every action and thought. It is a truly pioneering effort. Its deep truths about the origins of mind and feeling, and the implications for altering how we see ourselves over evolutionary time, connected to our fellow social mammals and birds, also has implications for how we treat our fellow travelers on this planet." ― Stuart Brown, MD, Founder and President, The National Institute for Play   Our next guest, Lucy Biven, who co-authored The Archeology of Mind with Jaak Panksepp,  is the former Head of the Department of Psychotherapy at the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service, part of the National Health Service in Leicestershire, England.  She became interested in neuroscience about 20 years ago when she was appointed by the Michigan Supreme Court to devise and implement a protocol for the transfer of custody of a 2½ year old girl from the home of a couple whom the child regarded as her parents, to the home of her biological parents. Like most of her colleagues, Lucy worried about the little girl's psychological development, yet the child progressed well and today is an emotionally healthy young woman. Where did it all go right?  She looked towards neuroscience for the answers she was looking for and found that, along with meeting Jaak Panksepp who coined the term “affective neuroscience” (a field that studies the neural mechanisms of emotions and how consciousness emerges from strong emotional stimuli). My goal with this next interview is learn directly from Lucy Biven, how an understanding of our emotions and our brain can help us to be better teachers in the classroom, coaches in the field of sports, or improve our effectiveness in the modern workplace.  Her most recent book A Short-Cut to Understanding Affective Neuroscience was released last summer, and I look forward to learning what this rockstar from the field of psychology and neuroscience can teach us with her work, research and experience. Welcome Lucy, thank you very much for reaching out to me when you did, it was perfect timing for the direction we are going with the podcast, and going back to the basics to start our year. Welcome. INTRO Q: To start off with, I must ask, what type of reaction do you typically get from people when you reach out to them, like you did to me. Have most people read The Archeology of Mind? The reason I ask this, is that Antonio Damasio mentioned that "Panksepp's perspective on the continuity of animal and human minds has not received the attention it deserves” and I had heard that before, so I wonder were you surprised when I knew exactly who you were, with the massive amounts of respect that go along with those who spearhead a field? Q1: I always like to know what brought people to where they are now, and you explain what brought you to this field in the Introduction of your book A Short-Cut to Understanding Affective Neuroscience[ii]. Can you give a snapshot of your career path (so I don't think I was crazy that you were in England)? What did your work entail as Head of the Department of Psychotherapy at the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (in England) and why were you appointed that case by the Michigan Supreme Court? Q1B: The book opens with an incredible example of how neuroscience helped to inform the outcomes of those cases involving children and their caregivers that dated back to 1993. Can you explain how neuroscience explained the outcomes that 19 experts in child development couldn't see without understanding how the brain works? I'm asking from the point of view not of a researcher who has a sound understanding of how our brain works, but for of those of us who have a thirst to understand this information, that we were never taught. Q2: The introduction of your book is interesting as neuroscience proved something that 19 experts in child development couldn't see, even from the point of view of a parent. I always wondered if I had made a mistake when I moved from Canada to the US (only AFTER I had children) but it was with the difference we see with maternity leave in the US where we have about 12 weeks compared to a full year in Canada. I always wondered if I was doing something wrong when I dropped my daughter off at daycare and drove off to work. I was shocked when I learned that “The hippocampus creates enduring personal memories, but it does not begin to function until a child is about four years old (Newcombe et al. 2000; Gleitman et al. 2007). Babies and young children can retain short-term memories, but the neural pathways that encode these memories dissolve after a few weeks or months and the children forget” (Fivush and Hamond 1990). So, for all those parents out there who feel guilty dropping their kids off at daycare, or leaving them for a few hours with a caregiver, this bit of research could really have helped me back then to not stress so much about that, right? How else can you see an understanding of our brain, helping us beyond your Supreme Court Case, or for young parents raising their children? Do you have any other neuroscience tips that surprised you? Q3: What was it about Jaak Panksepp's work that filled in the missing gaps for you, and for lay people like me and others listening who want to understand the important workings of the brain (for improved results in our schools, sports environments or modern workplaces?) Q4: The first 3 chapters discusses different schools of thought about emotion and effect. Can we talk about each one and give an example of how something like a gunshot would be experienced with each theory? Feedback Theory-affects emerge from cognitive parts of the cortex or cortex creates all forms of consciousness (Kawkabani, 2018) We hear a gunshot, and freeze but why according to FBT are we not afraid? Brainstem Theory-maintains that all mammalian brains contain genetically programmed emotional systems). I've seen Panksepp's 7 Emotional Systems written out in many places but didn't realize there was a reason behind the ALL CAPS of each system. What did he want to show with the all caps? Panksepp's 7 core emotions: ALL mammalian brains have these 7 emotions? Why do you think these 7 emotions have been overlooked by psychologists and neuroscientists if they appear in the upper brainstem, indicating they evolved a long time ago? With brainstem theory, we hear a gunshot, what happens? We feel fear that originates from the brainstem?   3. Conceptual Act Theory (CAT)-claims that emotional systems do not exist and that emotions do not emanate from any brain region. Affects depend on concepts we construct largely on the basis of social experience. (Lisa Feldman Barrett-Theory of Constructed Emotion-explains the experience and perception of emotion). Her research shows emotions are invented using our memory and imagination (Waldman). With a gunshot, how would you explain your reaction if emotions don't exist in the brain? Did my brain create a fearful affect based on what I watched on TV, my memory and imagination?   Q5: In chapter 5 and 6 you dive deeper into brainstem theory by looking at 2 different hypothesis—Jaak Pankseep and Antonio Damasio, explaining how affects might be created.  Both are similar, involving the brainstem, but they explain different mechanisms for how this happens. What is Damasio's view involving homeostasis/consciousness? What is Panksepp's major contribution to affective neuroscience? Q6: All the research in the first 7 chapters show how the brain creates conscious affective feelings. In chapter 7, you evaluate Damasio and Panksepp's Hypothesis. You mention that both Damasio and Panksepp maintain that all consciousness includes a conscious unified sense of self (Ramachandran, 2009) who we've come across on this podcast as he inspired the work of Dr. Baland Jalal EPISODE #211.[iii] Ramachandran sites that people with male bodies feel like men, and people with female bodies feel like women. What does neuroscience research say about our sense of self and our consciousness and what was the point with Ramachandran's research? Q7: Chapter 8 we have the hard question of consciousness. On EPISODE #251, I looked at “Exploring Consciousness” and learned that “consciousness is the most astonishing act our big, complex, interconnected brains pull off and scientists are only just beginning to understand it.”[xiv] (National Geographic, The Brain). I learned that “Some scholars reckon the puzzle of consciousness is something the human mind is incapable of solving” (National Geographic) but that Daniel Dennett, Philospher and Cognitive Scientist from Tufts University (MA) says that this line of thinking is “culpably wrong. It isn't impossible at all. It's just that we have to buckle down and do it.”[iv] Why do all traditional attempts to answer the hard questions of consciousness fail? Which brain structures and functions correlate with consciousness? How does the physical brain create nonphysical conscious experiences (like seeing colors, tasting flavors, feeling joy and sorrow, anticipating the future, and remembering the past? What makes us happy, lonely, caring or curious? (no one knows how this happens Greenfield 2000). Q8: In chapter 10, you show how neuroscience helped you to treat 2 boys using the SEEKING system. How did you help each boy differently by knowing when to act like a coach, or like a traditional therapist and identifying the 7 emotional sytems that needed help? NOTE: Lucy wanted to be sure we included a distinction between emotion and affect in the show notes. Neuroscientists see emotion as purely physical reactions that occur inside the body (influx of stress or calming chemicals) and behavior (smiling, grimacing, approaching, running away). Affects, on the other hand, are private conscious experiences that cannot be directly observed - you can only deduce affects from behavior and verbal reports.   How could others use this system to help students, or athletes, who've gone off track somehow, or even managers and supervisors in the corporate world who might be having a challenge with their employees? Lucy, I want to thank you very much for first of all sending me that note before the holidays. For those of us who spend a lot of time learning, someone who can understand these difficult concepts, and explain them in a way that we can all use them, really are rockstars in my eyes. Like Dr. Daniel Siegel[v], who wrote the foreword to The Archeology of Mind and suggested that scientists or researchers would be interested in “the abundance of academic references” but for clinicians, educators or general readers, he suggests to read the pages of that book like a fascinating nonfictional story, and let the words sink in over time. Thank you for joining the rockstar researchers who have come on our podcast, like Dr. Daniel Siegel and those who have helped us to embrace a world where neuroscience can provide us with answers to move us forward, if we can take the time to stop, think, and understand the research that you've gathered, and then see how we can implement your last tip, to impact change in our worlds, backed by science. Thank you for all you have shared today. If people want to reach you, what is the best way?  Email Lucy at LucyBiven@gmail.com  If people want to purchase your books, what is the best way?
