I will never forget the first time I read Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart by Dr. James Doty. It completely shifted my approach to parenting, decision-making, relationships, and business growth.As this week's guest on the Cracking Open podcast, Dr. Doty shares his journey, from growing up in a tumultuous home to discovering the power of self-agency and the science of manifestation. He opens up about his successes and failures, his struggles with the choice to live life from his ego or his heart, and how much he appreciates being called out on his shortcomings. Ultimately, he has discovered that "possessions, position, and power have nothing to do with wisdom, insight, or self-awareness".In this episode, we dive into the science of manifestation and explore actionable steps you can take to manifest the life of your dreams. We explore how therapy can yield incredible results when the client is willing to confront life's challenges and the shadow side of their personality. When we can illuminate the darker, often hidden, parts of ourselves, we can then become more integrated and whole as individuals.More about Dr. James Doty:Neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and leading researcher in the science of compassionSenior editor of the Oxford Handbook of Compassion Science and developed Happi AI (an app that treats stress, anxiety, and depression) As the former CEO of Accuray (NASDAQ: ARAY), he helped develop CyberKnife technology, saving countless lives worldwideFounder of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University School of Medicine, where His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the founding benefactorNY Times and international bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop and his most recent book, Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation, which became a top-selling book on Amazon in multiple categoriesDr. James Doty's insights on manifestation teach how to make your brains work FOR us and help us create the life we desire.

For decades the practice of manifestation has been widely dismissed as self-involved, materialistic pseudoscience. Today, neuroscientist and founder of the Center for Compassion at Stanford, Dr. James Doty is back on the podcast for the 3rd time. This time to discuss what he calls an antithesis to this popular narrative around manifestation, which narrowly emphasizes outward success and invidiual benefit.During our conversation, and in his new book: Mind Magic The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How it Changes Everything, he will invite us into a deep conversation about how our brains work, and what happens when we pair their full power with the intention for a kinder, better world. What I appreciated so much about this book, and the work Dr. Doty has done over his career is that he continues to offer evidence-based practices that can change the structure of our brains by harnessing the power of attention, meditation, visualization, and compassion. He argues that over time and with dedication they can support us in moving through the world in ways that help us see clearly—reclaiming our agency, realizing our dreams, and reaching out to help others along the path.In today's episode James will share:Why it's important to reflect on what you have been manifesting in your life already (as a starting point).Ways to shift what you're manifesting if you're not finding the fulfillment and meaning you've been yearning for.Some of his story of learning to manifest, including how and why his initial way of practicing, which yielded a lot of material success, ultimately left him feeling empty and unfulfilled.Insight into manifesting with an open heart and practices that support doing so.Highlights from the neuroscience of manifestation including why cultivating calm and setting a compassionate intention lead to our brain networks working at their full potential.Insight about ways to work with mental barriers that can arise in the manifestation process such as fear, shame, and doubt.How childhood experiences can influence our ability to practice manifestation Why manifestation isn't a quick fix, and why it's important to start smallA brief guided practice for manifestation.Enjoying the show?

I've continued to be skeptical of the whole “manifesting” concept, until now. As I've finally shown and convinced that I have been and always am manifesting most of my life. I don't believe I'm all powerful or that I am God. But I do find that I generally reap what I sow. What my mind dwells on seems to come to pass, and my mind…our minds…naturally tend toward negative thoughts. If I keep thinking I don't want to get sick, I don't want to get sick, my subconscious just comprehends a constant focus on sickness. And goes to work towards it. What I need to do is focus on being well. Being well. Being well. And let my subconscious work on that. Let it bolster my immune system and let it steer me toward feeling positive and optimistic and increasing my awareness of making better health choices and avoiding things that weaken me. To expound on this topic from a scientific perspective, I bring you James R. Doty. James is a brain surgeon. His playground is the brain. And he has studied the concept of manifesting from a neurological standpoint and leaves the woo-woo out of the conversation. Dr Doty has been on the faculty of the Stanford University School of Medicine since 1997 in the Neurosurgery Department as a professor and more recently as an adjunct professor. He is also the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford, of which His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the founding benefactor. James' new book is Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation And How It Changes Everything. I admittedly brought up faith and God and I feel they can and do coexist. But you can listen in and decide for yourself. But James bring us to consider neurological issues like “value tagging” and our “selective attention system” and a concept I feel is really tangible called “target fixation” which often gets brought up in regards to motorcycle accidents, where when a rider becomes so fixated on an unwanted target ahead that causes them to unconsciously steer into the direction of their gaze. Focus on where you want to go, not on where you don't want to go. That concept alone covers a lot of ground on what the neuroscience of manifesting reveals for us. This is more than hopeful.

The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the extraordinary things that can happen when we harness the power of both the brain and the heart Growing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralyzed by a stroke. Today he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Her final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart.

I’m a huge fan of morning routines because I think they can transform your ability to focus, sleep well, and get the most out of your day, especially in this busy, modern world. What I’ve found is that the best way to begin your day is to feed your body the right information or the right nutrients. That’s why Dr. Mark Hyman and I created the Pegan Shake. It’s a nutritionally packed morning blend designed to support healthy blood sugar, energy, and brainpower. It contains some of my most favorite brain-boosting foods like MCT and avocado. It also features acacia fiber for healthy gut function and collagen, pumpkin, and pea protein to support muscle synthesis. Check it out at getfarmacy.com/peganshake.

Laura is a Certified Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT) teacher through the Compassion Institute and Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE). Laura has studied literature, languages, folklore, and philosophy to explore expressions of human experience across time. She has traveled around the world to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch life in its countless forms. Joys and sorrows, life and death crossed her path. Again and again, she saw how fear and anger could complicate and magnify pain, but also witnessed people choosing compassion for themselves and others –meeting anguish with loving presence – and spinning the straw of suffering into the gold of connection, healing, and wisdom.

About Robert McClure: Bob is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator and Instructor at UCLA Mindful Awareness Center. He's also a Senior Educator and Certified Compassion Cultivation Training Teacher for Stanford University Center for Compassion, Altruism, Research, and Education (CCARE). He's also a trained L2 Coach for Unified Mindfulness. Bob is a Human Resources Consultant at Sharp Healthcare in San Diego and teaches mindfulness and compassion skills to healthcare professionals which include emergency room doctors and nurses as well as other high-stress physicians. In this episode, Jordan and Robert discuss: Mindfulness as concentration, sensory clarity, and equanimity. Compassion is the intention that other people or beings not suffer. Happiness is a skillset and burnout is empathy overload and fatigue. Key Takeaways: See compassion as a skill for someone you love, yourself, a stranger, someone difficult, and then the entire world. Chronic stress degrades the ability to pay attention, your working memory, and your emotional regulation while mindfulness and compassion training enables the ability to maintain a steady-state. Recognize ineffectual habits within our brains and take the necessary steps to retrain our brain and change our bad habits with skills training. "Mindfulness is paying attention to our present moment experience with openness and curiosity." — Robert McClure Connect with Robert: https://www.uclahealth.org/marc/ http://ccare.stanford.edu/ https://www.compassioninstitute.com/ https://unifiedmindfulness.com/ Connect with Jordan: Get a free copy of Jordan's book at www.workplacewarrior.com Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordangoldrich/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgoldrich/
Dr. Thupten Jinpa of Stanford Medicine's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), said compassion is a hallmark of strong leadership: “Compassion, personal integrity, humility, being open to others’ perspectives yet taking responsibility to lead, all rooted in courage and a quiet confidence—these are the marks of truly great leaders.”
Stephen W. Porges, PhD. is Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University where he is the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. In 1994 he proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behaviour and emphasises the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioural problems and psychiatric disorders. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed papers across numerous behavioural and neurobiological disciplines. On this podcast, Dr Porges explains the Polyvagal Theory, including the biological effects of perceived safety or danger and the resulting impact on our social behaviour. He describes his music-based intervention, the Safe and Sound Protocol, that is used by more than 1,400 therapists to reduce hearing sensitivities and increase emotional control and behavioural organisation. He also discusses how the threat of COVID-19 can impact neurophysiology, and he shares practical strategies for creating feelings of safety.

Many of us are approaching the whole idea of mindfulness from very different backgrounds. Like we learned in the first episode, each brain and its chemistry is also unique. In this episode, Rev angel Kyodo williams and Dr. James Doty discuss compassion versus empathy and how understanding the said neuroscience can inform mindfulness techniques that allow us to remain calm in the storm.Dr. James Doty is the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford. For more from Dr. Doty, be on the lookout for his forthcoming podcast, Magic Brain Magic Heart, coming later this fall available wherever you get your podcasts.
At a time when work has become more challenging than ever, we’re going to explore one myth and one revelation. The myth -- which many of us, myself included, have consciously or subconsciously incorporated into our lives — is that we need to grind ourselves into dust through faux “productivity” in order to achieve professional success. The revelation is that the more effective -- and cleaner burning -- fuel is that potentially sappy notion of finding your purpose. My guest is Leah Weiss, who has impressive bona fides on both the professional and contemplative fronts. She teaches Compassionate Leadership at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and she wrote a book called How We Work. She’s also done four 100-day retreats and one 6-month retreat. This conversion was recorded pre-pandemic, but is deeply relevant nonetheless. And toward the end of the conversation, she drops some words that have been rattling around in my head for months.

James Doty, MD, joins Francesca Maximé for a conversation around compassionate action, building healthy self-esteem, and making the shift from fear mode to love mode. James Doty, MD, is a clinical professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University and Director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), of which the Dalai Lama is the founding benefactor. He is the author of the book Into the Magic Shop. Learn more about James here. Compassionate Action Amidst Social Distancing Francesca welcomes James Doty, MD, to the show and asks about getting rerooted to our true, compassionate nature. They discuss the reality of suffering and trauma, and the false narrative of rugged individualism in our culture. James reminds us all about the power of compassionate action, even in this new age of social distancing. “An important thing is to try to pause and not let fear overtake you, and be more realistic and thoughtful and objective.” – James Doty, MD Ethan Nichtern explores practicing in the world as it is right now amidst the COVID-19 pandemic on The Road Home Ep. 36 Healthy Self-Esteem and Inner Dialogue (18:11) Why is it so important to have a healthy inner dialogue? Francesca and James talk about how to build up healthy self-esteem. James discusses some of the evolved beings he has spent time with, including the Dalai Lama, and shares a heart-opening story about judgment and compassion. “When you get to the point when you see the other as yourself, then you truly have evolved and you see the true nature of reality.” – James Doty, MD From Fear Mode to Love Mode (31:38) Francesca and James tackle the concept of superiority and why it’s such a problem in our society, including the spiritual community. They talk about how to not get lost in the head, and instead sit with the heart. James explores how when we practice compassion with intention, we shift from the fear mode of existence to the love mode. “When I changed how I saw the world, the world changed how it saw me.” – James Doty, MD
The world is currently going through the strangest thing that any of us will likely face in our lives. And there's a ton of fear and anxiety and doom and gloom that comes along with a worldwide pandemic, of course. But in this episode, happiness expert and author Jennifer Moss gives us incredible, tangible advice on how to navigate through this uncertainty with less guilt. But also to accept the many stages of grief that we may be moving through right now, no matter what form the emotion may be taking. It's ok to not be thriving right now, but we don't have to completely sink either. *This episode was adapted from a Facebook LIVE that was recorded on March 26th, 2020 (if you want to see the video, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6uLz2hRdqo) List of Resource Suggestions from this episode: HERO GEN – https://hero-generation.com/covid19/ Global Happiness Council Access here: http://www.happinesscouncil.org/ The Global Happiness Council (GHC) produces the Global Happiness and Well-Being Policy Report with the goal of informing policy around Positive Education initiatives, Happy Cities, Societal Well-being Interventions, and more.

I've been thinking a lot about kindness lately. And how a small, kind gesture can make such a mammoth difference to someone's life.Kind is possibly my favourite four letter word. Being kind is one of easiest things we can do, and it can have life‑changing consequences. Kindness doesn't need to be difficult or expensive or time consuming. I feel as we become “busier” we are becoming less kind. If you're wondering, busy is my least favourite four letter word! I'm so very grateful to have been the recipient of many acts of kindness throughout my life so far: When my parents died, when I was housebound after melanoma surgery, when we're away and our neighbours look after our chickens, when a stranger offers me a seat on the train, when door is held open for me and so many more small and large gestures. Kindness is so prevalent in the personal worlds of so many of us, that it makes me wonder why it's not as common in the business world. Don't businesses and their leaders realise that when you are kind to people, they want to do more for you? Whether it's your workforce, customers or investors. The number one quality of a connectable leader has is kindness. What would happen if we started to measure the number of kind deeds transacted? How many of us would be able to say, hand on heart, that we are a success? And think about the flow-on impact. I know I seek out the businesses that have shown me kindness. I WANT them to have my money. And I tell people about them. Their kindnesses show they value me. It's not rocket science! It shouldn't surprise you to know that research shows leaders and organisations that are kind to their employees have employees who stay longer, work harder and are more committed to the organisation. It also shouldn't surprise you, that when you are kind to your staff that kindness flows out and onto their colleagues, their families, your customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. What would happen if you included a kindness metric in your key performance indicators or your strategic goals? What impact do you think that might have on your people and your business? Kindness at work isn't only about the warm fuzzies it generates. Kindness at work can improve job performance, lengthen employee tenure and reduce absences. According to Emma Seppala, associate director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, “when organisations promote an ethic of compassion rather than a culture of stress, they may not only see a happier workplace (since a lack of bonding within the workplace has been shown to increase psychological distress, while positive social interactions at work have been shown to boost employee health), but also an improved bottom line.” How can you start a kindness revolution at work? A few things you can do are: Ask people how they are and actually listen to their reply Say good morning and / or good night when you arrive and leave each day Bring in baked goods to share Have a kindness board – where people can share kind things others have done for them Say thank you – to your team, colleagues, suppliers and customers Help out a colleague when they are stuck on a piece of work Spend time getting to know new staff members Buy a coffee or make a cup of tea for a co-worker Don't yell at people when they make a mistake Give a compliment to a co-worker Focus on the strengths your colleagues bring to work, not their weaknesses What are you doing to be kind? And what are some of the small meaningful ways people have been kind to you? I'd love to know.

Growing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralysed by a stroke. Today, he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. As a child, his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead, he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Ruth's final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart. Doty would go on to put Ruth's practices to work with extraordinary results. He achieved power and wealth that he could only imagine as a twelve-year-old. However, he neglects Ruth's most important lesson, to keep his heart open, with disastrous results. A spectacular charitable contribution that will virtually ruin him, changed his life. Part memoir, part science, part inspiration, and part practical instruction, "Into the Magic Shop", shows us how we can fundamentally change our lives by first changing our brains and our hearts.

James R. Doty, MD, is a neurosurgeon and clinical professor at Stanford University. He shows us how to shape our own lives and of those around us by reframing, practicing compassion, and living with an open heart. Reframe Negative talk dominates our narrative. What we tell ourselves manifests in our lives. Positive talk is based on kindness towards oneself. Practice Compassion When you change the way you look at the world, then the world changes the way it interacts with you. Accepting the reality of a situation means that we can be free of reacting with anger. We can be compassionate and kind. Live with an Open Heart When we are kind and respectful, and treat every human being with dignity, people will bend over backwards to help us. The greatest gifts in life often come through painful events, which give us character, depth, wisdom, and insight. Find out more: James R. Doty, MD, is the founder of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University. He is also the author of "Into the Magic Shop", a book about how we can change our lives by practicing compassion and mindfulness.

Contact her bepresent1@me.com http://www.va.gov/providerinfo/northtexas/detail.asp?providerid=2669 Quote “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einstein
This week on Relationships 2.0 my special guest is James R. Doty, MD author of Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart. About the book: Extraordinary things happen when we harness the power of both the brain and the heart. Growing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralyzed by a stroke. Today he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Her final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart. Doty would go on to put Ruth’s practices to work with extraordinary results—power and wealth that he could only imagine as a twelve-year-old, riding his orange Sting-Ray bike. But he neglects Ruth’s most important lesson, to keep his heart open, with disastrous results—until he has the opportunity to make a spectacular charitable contribution that will virtually ruin him. Part memoir, part science, part inspiration, and part practical instruction, Into the Magic Shop shows us how we can fundamentally change our lives by first changing our brains and our hearts. About the author: James R. Doty, M.D., is a professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University and the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), where he researches the neuroscience of compassion and altruism.
