Being Well Podcast: Neuroplasticity Tools to Change Your (and your kid’s) Brain with Dr. Caroline Leaf

Dr. Caroline Leaf joins Rick and Forrest to explore how we can harness the power of neuroplasticity to clean up our mental mess…and teach our children to do the same. They detail Dr. Leaf’s five-step Neurocycle process, walk through a practical example, and explain how we can use mind-management tools to reshape our relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings. The post Being Well Podcast: Neuroplasticity Tools to Change Your (and your kid’s) Brain with Dr. Caroline Leaf appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. This Wednesday Night Meditation included a 31-minute meditation, a 48-minute talk, and a discussion about Struggles, Lessons, and Hope. Mamphela Ramphele is a Co-Founder of ReimagineSA, the Chair of the Tutu IPTRUST, and Co-President of the Club of Rome. She is a change agent rooted in the Black Consciousness Philosophy that enabled many young people in the 1970s to self-liberate from the inferiority complex imposed by racist oppression and inspired the revival of the liberation struggle that ushered in political freedom in 1994. She is a medical doctor, a social anthropologist, and a global public servant. She was a Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Town, a Managing Director at the World Bank, and a non-Executive Director of many large companies and Civil Society Organisations.

Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself. Additionally, many expressions of generosity are not about money. People offer attention, encouragement, and patience many times a day. Sometimes we withhold when it would be so easy, actually, to listen quietly for another minute or to offer a word of appreciation or simply a look that says, “I’m with you.” Try being a little more generous for a day and see what happens.
