Workshop: Steadying the Mind
2012-04-01 00:00:00 59m
Mindfulness is a fundamental skill in both Buddhist practice and modern psychotherapy. But to stay alive in the wild, our ancestors evolved highly distractible attentional systems – which pose real challenges to developing greater mindfulness today.
This talk:
• Discusses how attention works in your brain, and the normal temperamental spectrum of “turtles” and “jackrabbits” at either end of the spectrum.
• Presents six methods for strengthening the neural substrates of mindfulness
• Describes the neural networks of spacious awareness, and explores some ways to activate them
