Part I: The Brain’s Story
Part one of this book describes the history of how the brain evolved into its current design and how that affects every aspect of our daily lives. This section describes how the brain’s organization and distinct characteristics evolved over millions of years; and how this brain gave rise to the mind. The mind is not located in any specific place in the brain and yet the mind is intimately involved in all the brain’s activities. Neuroscientists say that, “the mind is what the brain does.” The mind can be retrained to change our habitual patterns, reduce stress reactions, and alter our attitudes, emotions, and behaviors.
Part Two: Meditation and Mind Technology
In Part two the reader learns meditation practices and mind tools to deal with the challenges and potentials of each brain center. The practices takes the reader through the four brainwaves: beta, alpha, theta and delta; the neurotransmitters that effect each brainwave, nutrition that supports these brain waves and specific practices that are connected to the practice through guided meditations that enable a person to learn to heal their mind and rewire their brain.
