Neuroscience and Change of Consciousness, posted by Zofia Hockin

Hello Fellow Participants ***

I suspect that that at least some of you might have thought that I "fell of the Moon" when I brought in the subject of how using the latest discoveries of neuroscience could be the way to "repair the world", by creating the change of consciousness, so that we learn not to allow our old "animal" part of brain govern our thinking and behaviour.

To give my contribution some scientific credibility I'd like to recommend "The Compassionate Brain" - the series of 7 lectures, available free on the internet on the subject of:

Practical Neuroscience for Transformation - about different ways to use the power of neuroplasticity—how the mind can change the brain to transform the mind—to open the heart, build courage, find compassion, forgive oneself and others, and heal the world.

It is available here:   http://live.soundstrue.com/compassionatebrain

If you only have time to watch one, I suggest the second one, by Dan Siegel. He is the one who thought up the hand model to show different parts of the brain.

Be well

Zofia
