Pediatrician John D. Michael discusses his article, "How attention therapy transforms speech delay in young children." In this engaging conversation, John explains that sustained attention is crucial for developing effective speech and conversation skills in young children.

Dharana is the sixth of the Eight Limbs of Yoga as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. It refers to the concentration of the mind where it becomes one-pointed, a fixed attention on an object. It is a holding or binding your attention to the object with the intention of reducing the rajasic movement that feeds, agitating the senses and mind or the tamasic boredom and apathetic state that gets the senses and mind stuck. We are looking for the middle sattvic path that cultivates mental stability and freedom from distraction. When he mind is distracted if feeds the Kleshas Avidya – Ignorance, Asmita – Egotism, Raga – Attachment, Dvesa – Aversion, Abinivesha -Fear. We use pratyahara and dharana in our asana and pranayama practice to weaken the power that the Kleshas have on us. Dharana is the doorway to meditation as it requires you to rest your attention on something for some time. This requires diligence and persistency like training a puppy. It requires effort, to be switched on, not off to train a mind puppy! The puppy likes to chase its tail, chew on a bone obsessively, take naps, hide, etc. We need to train the puppy, so it can be of serve and a good companion to us. So remembering that in practice Yoga Sutra 1.33 states we need to culitivate loving awareness, friendliness, joy and compassion. This keeps a trusting loving relationship with the mind puppy to practice being present. To be present, you just need two things Intention and Attention. An Intention to be present, with the effort and vigilance to turn your attention back to the presence. As the mind puppy will wandering if bore or entertaining judgements, stories, bias and act out. The Yogi needs to be receptive, sensitive and loving kind to reach the goal of practice, Nirodha, stillness to then awaken to the state of Yoga.

The Opposite of Depression Is Not Just Feeling Better, It's Leaning to Live BetterDr. David Carreon is a psychiatrist and expert on helping people with depression learn not just to feel better, but to actually learn to live fulfilling lives. And what he's learned will help all of us become healthier, feel better, and be happier in our lives.Even if you're not depressed, many people are simply worn out and weary. Dr. Carreon's work will offer hope for weariness and those who long to live a life of flourishing as well. This conversation covers a lot of ground- clinical psychiatry, the perils of depression and weariness, the role of medications, the devastation and risk factors for suicide, faith, the importance of community, and much more. Dr. Carreon's Book: The Opposite of Depression: What My Work with Suicidal Patients Has Taught Me about Life, Hope, and How to Flourish by David Carreon, MDLearn more about Dr. Carreon and his work with transcranial magnetic stimulation here. Book Preview from Tyndale.comThere's hope for greater satisfaction, purpose and joy in your life, even if circumstances have you down….Stanford-trained psychiatrist David Carreon, MD, reveals what it takes to move from nagging disappointment, dissatisfaction, or depression to a life of thriving. One of the pioneers of the use of an intense form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in severely depressed patients, Dr. Carreon was astonished by how quickly and dramatically most of them recovered. But he also saw very clearly that just eliminating the symptoms of depression wasn't enough. To live a truly fulfilling life, his patients needed to leave old habits behind and embrace the patterns of flourishing. In The Opposite of Depression, he draws on insights from his clinical experience, the latest research, and his Christian faith to point readers to principles and practices that promote thriving in mind, body and soul.

Have you ever noticed how breakthroughs often come when you're not actively trying to find a solution? That's diffuse thinking at work: a relaxed state in which creativity flourishes. On today's episode of Truth for Teachers, I'll share how stepping back can lead us forward. It turns out that intense concentration isn't always the best approach to problem solving, and we can instead let our minds wander through the meandering paths of diffuse thinking. Focused thinking is a bit like a flashlight—intense & concentrated. Diffuse thinking is like ambient room lighting—gentle & expansive. When you (or students) can't concentrate, you can harness the power of diffuse thinking. This shift in mindset from focused to diffuse can spark innovation and creativity. Listen in to discover how to use diffuse thinking when you've pushed your limits in focused thinking, and harness the power of diffuse thinking overnight during sleep. (Your dreams can be a powerful tool for problem-solving, too!) You'll also hear how you can teach your students to tap into the power of diffuse thinking. I'll share how to incorporate "thinking walks" into your instruction, try skygazing with students as a productive mental break, prime students for their next lesson with a question that requires diffuse thinking. Click here to read the transcript and participate in the discussion.  —— If you teach at the secondary level, check out my 10 lesson unit on Focused Attention. It includes a lesson on harnessing the power of diffuse thinking which takes just 15-20 minutes to implement. The resource has slides you show to your class which explain everything for you and guides you through the activities, including a student journal page that helps kids reflect on the topic. In this unit, students will also learn that it's okay to struggle with focusing their attention, and learn how to: Take productive breaks from concentration Create healthy phone habits and manage distractions Use movement to do better focused work Build concentration stamina Tolerate and push through boredom and procrastination Download the PDF brochure about Finding Flow Solutions to share with your administrators and get school funding for the curriculum.  

The interplay between the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the Task Positive Network (TPN) is crucial for our cognitive and emotional health. The DMN, active during restful states and wandering mind, facilitates introspection, memory recall, and creativity, serving as a foundational element in our mental processes. On the other hand, the TPN takes charge during focused, goal-oriented tasks, enabling attention, decision-making, and problem-solving. They operate in balance - when one is active, the other quiescent and this dynamic is essential for optimal mental functioning.However, imbalances in these networks can lead to mental health challenges. For instance, excessive DMN activity is linked to conditions like depression and anxiety, where rumination and negative self-referential thoughts prevail. In contrast, overreliance on the TPN without adequate rest can lead to burnout and stress.Mindfulness meditation offers a practical approach to equilibrating the DMN and TPN, promoting mental well-being by fostering a state of alert relaxation and enhancing self-awareness. Moreover, incorporating regular breaks into the workday, particularly those that allow for mental disengagement from task-focused activities, is vital for sustaining cognitive performance and preventing decision fatigue. Engaging in activities that stimulate the DMN, such as spending time in nature or practicing mindfulness, during these breaks can further enhance cognitive restoration and emotional balance.Awake and Aware | Our 2024 Live EventJoin us at Awake and Aware 2024, a transformative 3-day workshop from May 1st to 3rd in Bend, Oregon.

I denne episoden der lege Tiril Elstad er gjest deler hun sine studier på HRV knyttet opp not yoga, pust og meditasjon.Hun viser til et studie som bekrefter at yogatreningen reduserte symptomer på angst og depresjon og fikk bedre søvn, og effektstørrelsene var sammenlignbare med en til en kognitiv terapi. Tiril jobber på Balder klinikken og leter etter underliggende årsaker til lidelser og smerter. Tiril jobber også som yogainstruktør. Hun er også glad i å male, synge og være i naturen. Tiril er grunnleggeren av Mithril Yoga, et online medisinsk yogastudio. Vi som biohackere er nysgjerrige på dette med pust, meditasjon og yoga, hvordan dette påvirker vår HRV. Dette er tema i ukens episode.Vi får høre Tirils morgenrutiner som småbarnsmor, Hvordan begynte Tirlis reise inn i yoga og meditasjon? Vi har aller forskjellige innganger til dette. Hun har sansen for den myke siden av yoga.Vi snakker om Tirils studie på mental helse og yoga. Denne studien på 100 studenter. Effektene var veldig gode. Hva skjedde med HRV, innsovnings tid, varighet på søvn, subjektivt hva de følte om egen søvn?Hvordan bruker Tiril disse tingene i sitt møte med pasienter på Balder klinikken? Hvordan bruker hun yoga? Hun begynner med mange blodprøver, tar stilling til alt det medisinske først før hun introduserer verktøy som yoga, pust og meditasjon. Hvordan bruker Tiril det spirituelle i møte med pasienter? Vi må se på helhet for å" heales". Vi går igjennom noen eksempler på type pasient Tiril får på kontoret, med mange diffuse symptomer som har prøvd mye. Pasienter vil gjerne finne ut hvorfor, og det er ikke alltid så enkelt. Hun stiller mange spørsmål for å finne "root cause". Tiril er opptatt av tilskudd av jod, og andre sups.Det er tre pilarer for god helse: det fysiske, det mentale og tanker og det spirituelle.Hva er Walking Meditation eller Micro Movements. hvordan gjør man dette? Dette kan være en fin intro til meditasjon. Focused Attention. Tiril har selv brukt Garmin klokken og sett hva som hjelper på HRV.Hva er godt stress og vondt stress? Stress er en stor del av livet, det er kanskje ikke veien å gå å fjerne alt stress, men man kan prøve fjerne de negative tankene om seg selv. Dette som trigger symptomer på angst og depresjon. Vi må finne balansen mellom negativt og positivt stress for å bygge "reciliense" motstandsdyktighet. Husk at du alltid har ett valg. Huske å be om hjelp. Meditasjon kan hjelpe oss å se disse mønstrene i oss selv. Hva syntes Tiril om målinger? Er det postitivt eller negativt? Vi må koble på kroppens egne signaler, lære oss å lytte. Noen blir veldig stresset av målinger og da er det kanskje mot sin hensikt?Hvorfor er pust så viktig?Hvorfor puster vi? Hva skjer på cellenivå? Hva skjer i mitokondriene? Hva sker med Vagus? Det parasympatiske systemet? Det er mange teknikker for å komme i parasympatikus, vi får Tirils favoritter. Hva er "yogic breathing"? Hva skjer? Og hvorfor? Vi har mange forskjellige pusteteknikker som vi kan bruke, men fellesnevneren er å puste sakte og rolig.Vi snakker om mat, dette med forebyggende medisin, og om det er noen endring på dette feltet?Hva er de største årsakene til dårlig søvn idag? Vi snakker om døgnsyklus som er helt ute hos mange idag, vi har mye uro, mye stress, ser på skjerm...Til slutt får vi Tirils tanker rundt hvordan vi kan Biohacke alt det vi snakker om.TA MED DEG DETTE TIPSET: UT AV HODE OG INN I KROPPENhttps://mithrilyoga.com/norges-yogamedisinske-forening https://www.tirilelstad.comhttps://www.instagram.com/tirilelstad/ https://balderklinikken.no/om-klinikken/team-balder/Her finner du Tiril: @tirilelstad - www.tirilelstad.com

Beth Banning is a best-selling author, inspirational speaker, and spiritual catalyst who lives in California with her husband, their cat, and their six pound poodle. She was born in New York City and from a very young age could sense the feelings of people around her, felt kundalini energy running through her body, and experienced other unusual events that she didn't understand. The well-meaning adults in her life told her she was depressed and that these experiences were just her imagination.Growing up in this cloud of ignorance and disbelief these gifts were buried and unable to flourish and so she was left confused and lonely. As a young adult she recognized the same sense of confusion and loneliness in others and became passionate about helping people better understand themselves and those around them.Later in life she took this passion into her work with her husband Neill and co-founded Focused Attention, Inc. She has written numerous books, co-created the Pathway to Personal Freedom, and the Art of Conscious Connection Seminar Series. After many years of integrating this consciousness shifting work into her own life and teaching it to others, she experienced a profound reconnection with God that turned her life upside down. This radically changed the way she perceives the world and functions in it.Beth now lives her life guided by her inner source of divine wisdom. She is committed to helping others discover this for themselves and fully experience the essence of who they truly are.

Dr. Gloria Mark on her 30+ year writing and academic career, the different attention states, how we can get into an artistic flow and why empty space is our days is important. Plus, we dive into her process of writing Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity.*QUOTE:When you think about a Japanese garden you think of the beautiful rocks that are placed there. But it's the space around those rocks that are just as important and are as carefully considered as the rocks themselves. Consider empty space in your day to be as important as the work you're actually doing because it helps prepare you and enables you to really do this kind of deep work. *ABOUT DR GLORIA MARK Gloria Mark is Chancellor's Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine.

Intentional Focus: Train your mind to consistently focus on what you desire to create as your reality. Inspired Action bears the fruit of our desired reality when it is aimed intentionally in the direction of our desire. Intentional Focus may seem very simple, yet is often one of the most difficult practices.Wherever our attention goes will dictate our direction. The more focus and attention we put into moving in a particular direction, the more we unconsciously move in that direction. Our attention gets hooked in multiple different directions and whichever direction we engage in most will communicate unconsciously what is most important to us.
