Are You a Victim or a Victor? By: Megan Winkler
I stood at the top of the staircase, looking down at her. She sat on the couch in the room below, outrage in her eyes. “It’s like you don’t need me anymore!” She was pale with anger. I didn’t have anything to say in response. It was true: I didn’t need my mother anymore, not in […]
Pump Up Your Vagal Tone: 3 Simple Practices by Shanti Medina
The vagus nerve is an important part of the parasympathetic nervous system, also knows as the “rest-and-digest” system. The word vagus means “wanderer,” because it branches out and wanders all over the body connecting to the brain, the intestines and stomach, and major organs such as the heart, kidney, lungs as well as the ears, […]
The Power of the Mind over the Body by: Cynthia Beard
Last night, I noticed that I was shivering while having a conversation outside after dinner. It wasn’t really cold, but I couldn’t stop shaking (perhaps in anticipation of today’s blizzard). I reminded myself that the temperature was tolerable, as I stood there wondering why my body was behaving as if I were standing in the […]

3 Brain-based Tips for Balance in a Time of Political Inflammation By: Lisa Wimberger
“My side’s right, your side is wrong.” “The state of our country’s health depends on this one moment!” “We can’t have THAT monster in office!” Sound familiar right now? These are the same thoughts we referenced four, eight, 12, 16, 20 years ago, and so on. We are in a time of political fear and […]
Studies Show Meditation May Be More Effective than Medication for Depressed Subjects By: Megan Winkler
Meditation may reduce or prevent the physiological cause of depression. That’s according to a new review published in the February 2016 issue of Radiography. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 350 million people suffer from depression globally, and the condition affects how an individual feels and navigates his or her social world. It causes […]
MIND-NINJA TOOLS: The Novelty of Novelty
One of our brain’s natural capacities is an ability to surprise itself. I’ve just experienced that and my ten-year old son Maxim was an unsuspecting catalyst. Since Maxim was a baby he had hard time falling and staying asleep through the whole night. Going to bed was a ritual that took anywhere from thirty minutes […]
Vocabulary that fires together wires together By: Cynthia Beard
There’s a neurological concept called Hebb’s Law that’s basically summarized as “neurons that fire together wire together.” This principle explains why it is that, when we hear an old song on the radio, we might immediately be flooded with memories and emotions that remind us of our first loves, best friends from high school, or educational topics […]
