Sign up today and don’t miss one of this summer’s most fascinating, free webinars, Your Buddha Brain: Beyond Evolutionary Survival Toward Love, Peace and Happiness with featured speaker neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, Ph.D. and hosted by IHM’s Jeff Goelitz. Hanson will discuss his book, Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom, and he will describe practical methods for centering your brain in its natural state of gladness, love and peace. During the webinar, he will give brain-savvy tips for reducing anxiety and irritability, feeling stronger and safer and clearing old pain. Saturday, August 10, Register for 11:a.m. to 12 p.m. or Register for: 6 to 7 p.m. Hanson says programming deep in the brain is caused by ancestral survival strategies, which lead the brain and limbic system to assign more weight to negative experiences than positive ones. He believes understanding the neuroscience behind this process, that we are "swimming against ancient currents within our nervous system," can help humans show themselves greater compassion. Hanson says cultivating mindfulness and positive emotions such as equanimity, compassion, gratitude and joy can aid us in moving beyond the limitations of this evolutionary programming. Goelitz, who, along with his other work gives training programs in HeartMath principles and techniques, will relate these to Hanson’s book, Buddha’s Brian: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom.
