When Gratitude Doesn’t Feel Genuine by Mariah Ehlert, CNSF

How does this word sit with you: “Gratitude”? To be completely honest, this go-to, get-back-to-happy word has actually triggered me at times; as in ‘toss something across the room’ annoyed. Why am I defaming one of the top most trendy and go-to healing words? There have been times when I’ve been so limbic (aka in […]

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! Though I can’t help but notice that our limbic brain and its fear response – with its cascade of adrenaline, cortisol and the rest of […]

What to do When Neurosculpting Doesn’t Work: By Travis Rumsey

I recently had a client share with me that a custom Neurosculpting® meditation I had created for them wasn’t working.  I asked if the wording needed adjusting, or if the pace was too fast.

(Not) Seeing Is Believing by: Cynthia Beard

When anything in our life occurs that we are unfamiliar with, it can […]

Lisa’s Note of the Day: Mapping and Firing

Neuroplasticity happens partly as a result of our ability to create new brain cells and maintain existing ones in a healthy state.  These brain cells or neurons, have  a branched formation and dendrites that reach out from them; they look like branches of a tree, or clusters of net and send it to the cell […]

What is mindfulness really? In some circles we have heard its ‘good’ to meditate and it’s ‘healthy’ and it’s something we ‘should’ be doing… but the idea ‘it’s good for you’ – what does that really mean and why is it good for you? Let’s break it down shall we. Did you know that when […]

Lisa’s Note of the Day: Rise up From Ashes

With more than 30,000 neurons in one cubic millimeter, which is about the size of a pinhead, and more than 100 million synapes in that tiny space, the territory is potentially more vast than the universe.  Our neural rainbow jungles look as though they defy navigation and any sense of order, yet somehow they execute […]
