When we quietly reflect internally, focusing on sensations, images, feelings and thoughts, we help to better integrate the brain. When we are non-focused, without any specific goal, and let our mind wander or simply relax, we help the brain recharge. When we give the brain the rest it needs, we consolidate learning and recover from the experiences of the day. What would be the equivalent of a recommended daily diet for a healthy mind? Our mind, embodied in our extended neural circuitry and embedded in our connections to others and even the way we relate to our planet, is also in need of careful attention to establish and maintain mental health.
Poverty, hunger, and homelessness threaten the essential needs of many throughout the world. War and natural disasters fill many lives with fear and suffering.
And even for individuals in more stable environments, modern life can be filled with an overwhelming focus on the outer world and an experience of being isolated from meaningful connections with others. Multi-tasking with its fragmented attention and the sense of becoming overwhelmed with information overload frequently fracture a sense of wholeness. In each of these conditions, the embodied and socially embedded requirements for a healthy mind are not being created in daily life throughout the world.
Many are deficient in a daily regimen necessary for mental well-being. Has it ever occurred to you not to brush your teeth daily? Why not? I am asking you now not to brush your teeth for the whole of next week how does that make you feel?
Almost aghast? What is so curious is that nobody thinks of the importance of brushing your brain as Siegel would say! Even though our brain is the most important organ when it comes to creating a healthy and happy life for ourselves, brain hygiene is a novelty.
The Healthy Mind Platter will give you an overview over the different ways our brains need attention. Time In see below could also be called meditation or mindful time. In my view, this takes a particular place among all the items of the menu. Meditation or mindfulness are not a practice or activity we do an hour or so a day. They are a fundamental attitude towards living, which fosters integration, harmony and health.
They are in fact about being rather than doing. While you will be doing all the other mind activities on the platter menu, Time In is about being, and forms the basis for successful implementation of all other menu items. In other words, what counts is how you do what you do whether in doing what you do you are non-reactive and grounded in being, or on autopilot and not grounded in being. This is a central concern of health and spiritual realization not to be missed.
I often get the question from students, how long they have to be mindful every day? Given what I just explained about being versus doing, with increasing practice experience a mindful attitude towards life will increasingly become the default mode of being. One has to keep in mind that the widespread autopilot attitude most people live by is one of the most altered states of consciousness you can imagine, even though it seems to arise so spontaneously during the transition from childhood to adulthood.
The mindful non-reactive attitude is in fact the most effortless and natural of states. Once the brain is rewired through consistency of mindful practice and orientation, it is the autopilot mode that will subjectively feel exhausting. Documents Similar To Dr. Randy Pradhana.

Adade Solomon Yao-Say. Anonymous vVsidh3n. Karla Giovanna. Welcome Home is ultimately a guide to building that space inside yourself rather than looking outside yourself for that sense of safety and worth.
Written with Najwa's trademark power, candor, and warmth, Welcome Home offers a universal approach to healing and solace for those navigating heartbreak, identity, and mental health challenges. It reveals several aspects of the man and investigates his teachings in depth. The author, Professor P. Krishna, was a Professor of Physics and was closely associated with him for nearly 3 decades. He has lectured all over the world and conducted dialogues about Krishnamurti's teachings. The field is based on the neuroscience of four leadership activities: how leaders make decisions and solve problems, regulate their emotions, collaborate with others and facilitate change.
These four domains provide a foundation for both research and education. The field emerged out of an international summit in Asolo, Italy in and since then has continued to develop across annual Summits around the globe and with the publication of a peer reviewed journal, along with academic education and hundreds of student-led research projects.
This edited volume publishes original empirical studies as reviews of the literature in order to give the reader easy access to the state of the art in NeuroLeadership. It brings together some of the most important research published to date, drawing from the most influential papers published in all the NeuroLeadership Journals between and Topics include research on staying cool under pressure, the brain's braking system, the SCARF model, the neuroscience of engagement, the Healthy Mind Platter and many others.
There are also key discussion papers about the development of the field as well as several early case studies on using neuroscience to improve leadership. Designed for executives, organizational development, talent management, human resources and learning professionals, as well as educators and students, this volume is a valuable resource for getting up to speed on the core research in the field to date, and as a starting point for future research and development.
He has been commissioned to write poetry, documentaries and plays for Radio 1 and Radio 4.
