Integrated sessions


Integrated sessions combine a neuroscience information session and a meditation session around a common theme.

Mentalization and Connection

In this session I discuss the evolution of mentalization, referencing key studies and interpretations from an academic lecture. The meditation is a Metta meditation where connection to others is practiced.

Downregulating DMN

This session focuses on understanding what Western science has named the "default mode network," a collection of brain activations that result in one of our most commonly encountered brain states. The meditation intends to bolster this understanding of experience and reveal the dynamics of this part of human experience. 

Mindful Acceptance

A session initially focusing on neuroscience research illustrating differences in biology and experience between natural reactivity and mindful acceptance. The meditation provides an opportunity to practice the embodiment of mindful acceptance.

Drive

A session that focuses on the neuroscience of drive and includes a guided meditation practice that is themed around drive in order to gain incorporate scientific understanding into experience. The session wraps up with a couple of questions offered to the listener.
