Created by neuroscientists, Brain-BasedMindfulness Meditation uses simple and powerful training strategiesto switch off the stress state of your brain and body, and to focusyour thoughts in a calm and productive way. These brain-basedmindfulness meditation exercises will teach you to enhance yourcalmness and be in the moment, to be self-reflective in anon-judgmental way, and to direct your subconscious mind to be moretuned-in to the positive things around you.The fight or flight response is the brain’s automatic systemthat kicks in whenever you need to be in a mode of avoiding somekind of danger or threat. This system can easily go into hyperdrive, making you feel uncomfortable and anxious even when youaren’t in any real danger, and disrupting your ability toconcentrate. Starting each session by immersing in slow breathingswitches off your brain’s fight or flight response, immediatelyputting you into a calmer and clearer state of mind. Subsequentguided training is designed to activate and strengthen your brain’sreward networks that are involved in your awareness of positiveexperiences, to teach you to become aware of negative thinkingtraps and how to reduce them, and to activate and strengthen brainnetworks involved in being focused and attentive.Neural Networks That Fire Together – Wire Together. Just a fewdays of mindfulness meditation training has been demonstrated toincrease functional coupling between the dorsolateral prefrontalcortex and the default mode network (DMN) in the posteriorcingulate cortex. This coupling is believed to reflect greatertop-down executive control at rest, and this network is alsoinvolved in maintaining attention and focus [1].Scientific randomized controlled trials have shown benefits ofmindfulness meditation training for a range of psychological andother health conditions, including stress, anxiety, and depression,and the reduction of bloodstream markers of stress-relatedinflammation [1-4].[1] Creswell JD, Taren AA, Lindsay EK, Greco CM, Gianaros PJ,Fairgrieve A, Marsland AL, Brown KW, Way BM, Rosen RK, Ferris JL.Alterations in resting state functional connectivity linkmindfulness meditation with reduced interleukin-6: a randomizedcontrolled trial, Biological Psychiatry [epub ahead of print][2] Goyal M, Singh S, Sibinga EM, Gould NF, Rowland-Seymour A,Sharma R, Berger Z, Sleicher D, Maron DD, Shihab HM, Ranasinghe PD,Linn S, Saha s, Bass EB, Haythornthwaite JA (2014): Meditationprograms for psychological stress and well-being: a systematicreview and meta-analysis.
