You Have it All: Right Here, Right Now by: Travis Rumsey

A large statue of a seated figure looms on a hill, partially obscured by mist. Right here, among the trees and under a cloudy sky, it stands as if to remind you that you have it all.

You know how you can hear the same idea over and over, but suddenly someone says it in a way that you finally go, “Oh!  Now I get  it!”?  This happened to me with one of my favorite Buddhist authors, Rigdzin Shikpo in his book, ‘Never Turn Away.’ In a chapter about the concept of […]

The Insula is important in our social brains. It’s involved with things like processing events in the future based on our current body states, and it is active when dealing with pride and disgust. Studies published in last year’s Journal of Cerebral Cortex noted that a sense of uncertainty increases insula activity and level of […]

Like most of us, I spend a ton of time with my community or just out and about the town. In the past, the holidays would sneak up and before I knew it, HA CHU! I would get so run down that I would not have the energy to continue on. When my body is […]

Neurosculpting Note of the Day: Are you in unconscious blindness? David Eagleman, Neuroscientist, notes in “Incognito” that “to see something you must attend to it.” Here’s a neat experiment I do with my law enforcement workshops. I show a video of a basketball game. In it, a man in a gorilla suit walks onto the […]

Meditation and the Art of Slowing Down by: Cynthia Beard

Cynthia Beard, a skilled performer, breathes a large plume of fire into the dark night sky, holding a lit torch. The flames create a dramatic and meditative effect against the black background as time seems to slow down.

Over the past few months, I have been receiving messages to slow down from random people and from different situations, so I’ve been reflecting a lot upon this lately. Here in the U.S., a lot of us are pressured to move at a rapid-fire pace, even during seasons of the year (like winter) that are […]

The Authenticity Trap by: Vija Rogozina

We are master storytellers! In fact, our brain is designed to weave stories. “We develop a sense of ourselves through repetitive internal thoughts, internally processed experiences, and a left brain that loves to fill in gaps of fact with a narrative to make sense of who we are” (New Beliefs New Brain, Lisa Wimberger). Our […]

A single tree stands beautifully in a green field under a vibrant sunset sky. The clouds are dramatic, with shades of purple, pink, and orange, creating a picturesque and serene landscape—a perfect note of the day.

In studies done in fMRI machines on the brain’s of individuals looking at art that they labeled either “beautiful, ugly, or disgusting” one area of the brain consistently got active while observing beauty: the medial orbitofrontal cortex (in the front of the brain). (Ishizu, Zeki, London). If we continue to feed our fear centers and […]

I Am The End by: Travis Rumsey

My Mom was a Nazi.   I don’t mean that in some petulantly figurative way. She really was. At 12 years old she stood before her class to lead the morning “Heil Hitler”s in her classroom. All the kids were Nazis.  The teacher was a Nazi. They had no choice. She was born out of […]

For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with low blood pressure. When I was younger, I didn’t understand that the ringing in my ears and lightheadedness (sometimes to the point that I would pass out) was caused by my naturally low-ish blood pressure suddenly dropping even lower. I learned as a child to […]
