Meditation & Neurosculpting® are all FINE and dandy until faced with a real-life aggravating situation. Two of my kids are in middle school 5 blocks away. After a restless night, I felt some anxiety.

A Neurosculpting Valentine to My Limbic System by: Jocelyn King
A lot is said, written and tweeted these days about mindfulness, presence and other traits associated with our pre-frontal cortex (PFC) functions. And I do love my PFC, of course!

The prefrontal cortex is located at the front of the brain, behind the forehead, and pieces of it fold under, reaching back toward the limbic system. There is a unique communication between these two areas. Structures of the prefrontal cortex correlate […]
(Not) Seeing Is Believing by: Cynthia Beard
One of the main concepts we emphasize at the Neurosculpting® Institute is referred to as “neuroplasticity,” or the ability for neurons to change over time.
