Richard Davidson: “Happiness is a skill.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn: “Mindfulness is paying attention
in the present moment in a non-judgmental way.”

When we engage in mental training,
we change the function and structure of our brain.
In this respect, the mind is no different than the body…

Teaching mindfulness-based practices to parents has the potential to improve parent emotion regulation and parents’ ability to cope with the stress and emotional complexity of raising a young teenager. Levels of child negative affect rise during adolescence and there is evidence that adolescents transmit their negative affect to their parents.

Fantastic post. It does take conscious effort to be mindful, to develop emotional intelligence and all it’s benefits. But you have to want to change… 🙂
Wonderful post, Eric. I really do believe in the health benefits of mindfulness. I think it would be great to teach kids all the aspects of consciousness. I think I’ll try this summer with my grandkids, but they are very busy little bees ages 6, 8, and 11.
Becoming Conscious: The Science of Mindfulness

Many of us go through daily life on autopilot, without being fully aware of our conscious experience.
Neuroscientists Richard Davidson and Amishi Jha join clinical mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn to explore the role of consciousness in mental and physical health, how we can train the mind to become more flexible and adaptable, and what cutting-edge neuroscience is revealing about the transformation of consciousness through mindfulness and contemplative practice.
