"Six acclaimed teachers and visionaries show us how mindfulness practice can enhance our communication styles and foster deeper, more authentic connection within all of our relationships. What, exactly, is mindfulness? It's a 'baseline' of awareness and non-resistance that you can build on the cellular level. Why practice it? Through mindfulness meditation, you rewire your neural pathways to calm yourself in any situation, better manage your emotions, amplify your attention and presence, gain insight into 'unsolvable' problems, make wiser decisions, and improve all of your relationships. What's more, all of these shifts create a ripple effect that benefits your family, friends, workplace, and community. On Mindfulness and Meditation: Volume Three, you're invited to learn with these inspiring presenters: Dan Siegel, MD—'How Relationships and the Brain Support the Development of a Resilient Mind' Bonus meditation: 'The Wheel of Awareness' Christopher Willard, PsyD—'Growing Up Mindful' Bonus meditation: 'A Short Mindfulness Practice for Children' Diane Musho Hamilton—'Mindful of Perspectives in Communication' Bonus meditation: 'Compassionate Exchange' Ethan Nichtern—'No Such Thing as a Relationship Expert' Shefali Tsabary, PhD—'The Awakened Parent' Sharon Salzberg on 'Real Love: The Art of Mindful Connection' Bonus meditation: 'Taking and Sending Lovingkindness' Note: This program is a compilation of presentations that were originally offered via the Internet, so some sound inconsistencies may be present.

A Conversation Between A.H. Almaas & Daniel Siegel: The Mind, The Soul, The Brain, and the Mystery of Transformation

"Two Pioneers of Science and Spirit Expand the Frontiers of Understanding For centuries, science and philosophy have drawn clear borders: scientists focused on the physical world, and philosophers studied the spiritual. Today that wall is coming down, thanks to innovative teachers like A. H. Almaas and Dr. Daniel Siegel, and the free flow of ideas and information has created a new renaissance of wisdom. On October 19, 2013, these two modern luminaries engaged in a conversation created to spark new ideas and insights about the nature of the mind and soul, the relationship between consciousness and the brain, and the mystery of personal transformation. Now you can experience this extraordinary meeting between A. H. Almaas, the creator of the breakthrough spiritual practice The Diamond Approach, and interpersonal neurobiologist Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of The Mindful Brain. In this daylong conversation, Siegel and Almaas investigate both the convergence and contrasts of spiritual and scientific ways of knowing ourselves. Focusing on the nature of personal transformation and the unfolding of identity, their wide-ranging discussion covers three major themes: Part One: The Mind and the Soul • The soul and the mind—how they are understood by both spiritual traditions and the latest neuroscience • The relationship between Being, Essence, the brain, and consciousness • How the mind relates to the brain, and the far-reaching implications of neuroplasticity—the ability of the mind to change our neural tissue • Why the soul is no longer off-limits to scientific inquiry Part Two: Self, Relationships, and Well-Being • What is the self and how does it develop? • How a sense of self emerges in life, in our relationships, and throughout development • How relational and psychological trauma impair the development of well-being and the unfolding of inner knowing across one's lifespan • The role of interpersonal and close, intimate relationships in the development of our identity •The therapeutic-patient and student-teacher relationships—how these two models for wisdom transmission overlap and inform each other Part Three: The Mystery of Transformation • What science and traditions say about the need for and nature of spiritual growth • The nature of meditation and how spiritual practices and scientific studies perceive the process of inner reflection • How fixed personality traits like narcissism or greed influence personal well-being and spiritual growth • What are the fundamental shared and contrasted views from science and spirituality on the nature of transformation? • Are there goals for transformation? If so, what are they? • How can we live a life of compassion, kindness, and discovery in the face of everyday stress and global change?"

Neurobiology of “We,” The: How Relationships, the Mind, and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are

"From a Founder of Interpersonal Neurobiology, Breakthrough Teachings about Human Development and Healing If you think your mind and your brain are one and the same, think again. According to interpersonal neurobiology pioneer Daniel J. Siegel, the mind actually emerges out of the interaction between your brain and your relationships. Now, on The Neurobiology of 'We,' Dr. Siegel invites you on a journey to discover this revolutionary new model of human development—one that can positively transform trauma, move you from stress to calm and equanimity, and promote well-being for you, your family, or even your community. The Triangle of Human Potential After 30 years of working with patients and synthesizing scientific research from nearly a dozen diverse fields, Dr. Siegel developed a cohesive, innovative new framework for human potential: the triangle of the mind, brain, and relationships. Beginning with accessible definitions of each element, he deconstructs the inner workings of this dynamic triad and lucidly explains the intricacies of our neurobiology. 'By knowing where energy and information flow in your nervous system—literally cerebral sections and neural connections—you can use the power of your mind to transform your life,' explains Dr. Siegel. Whether you're a spouse seeking a closer relationship with your mate, a mental health practitioner wanting to help a patient heal trauma, or anyone interested in the fascinating process of personal growth, you'll discover how this powerful model can shape—and re-shape—every aspect of your social and emotional development. Integration: The Key to Unlocking Optimal Health and Well-Being From everyday stress to severe trauma, the obstacles to optimal health can be overcome through what Dr. Siegel calls 'integration'—or linkage of differentiated parts. On The Neurobiology of 'We' you will learn Dr. Siegel's nine approaches to healing and transformation including Consciousness, Memory, Vertical and Bilateral Integration, and other practical ways to enhance your life. Through these methods, you will gain insights to help balance and heal your brain, realize the deeper consequences of your social interactions, and 'open to the very heart of well-being.' Course objectives: Promote well-being in ourselves and our relationships • Learn the nine approaches to healing and transformation • Conduct an AAI • Practice sharing in relationships • Define how consciousness can be used to promote integration"
