What a Difference a Verb can Make!

I AM vs I FEEL

Did you know that when the fight-or-flight center of the brain is engaged (the limbic system) saying things like I AM so angry keeps the blood flowing in that direction, feeding that center.

But

when you switch to I FEEL so angry there is a measurable shift in blood flow AWAY from the fight-or-flight center and towards the prefrontal cortex — the very part of the brain that cultivates witnessing, compassion, and problem-solving. This is called Name it and Tame it in the crisis-intervention world. You can learn more about this process from Dr. Dan Siegel, author of Mindsight.

Being aware of these brain states and relationships is the cornerstone of Neurosculpting®. By combining science’s understanding of the brain and meditation’s rich heritage we create a system that can target these limbic responses quickly and simply!
