Rewiring through Compassion

In the foreword to New Beliefs, New Brain, Dr. David Perlmutter notes “When His Holiness the Dalai Lama counseled that ‘The brain we develop reflects the life we lead,’ it is important to understand that his statement reflects not only a call for us to live a life of compassion based on his spiritual pursuits, but that in addition these words are a reflection of his deep understanding of modern neuroscience.”  By taking a few minutes today to exercise compassion for others and yourself you could be activating some powerful neuroplastic healing.
