Meditations to Change Your Brain

Rewire Your Neural Pathways to Transform Your Life

Seven Guided Practices to "Rebuild" Your Brain for Lasting Joy and Fulfillment


The structure of your brain changes constantly in a dynamic, unfolding process that you yourself can help direct to create the life you want. This is the exciting premise of Meditations to Change Your Brain, a breakthrough three-CD program from neuropsychologist Rick Hanson, PhD, and neurologist Richard Mendius, MD.

Course objectives:

Use meditation to rewire the neural pathways in your mind—to change your brain and to change your mind
• Learn the science behind suffering; how our survival instincts have led to our own suffering and how we can change this
• Learn several different meditation techniques to promote concentration, let go of painful past experiences, and promote a more positive outlook
• A scientific overview of the structure of your brain and which areas are responsible for our different skills and emotions
Drawing on a vast body of research spanning more than 30 years, Hanson and Mendius show you how to strengthen the neural circuits that generate happiness, love, and inner peace. Join them to explore fascinating insights about your brain and how you can consciously affect it with good results. Then learn seven guided meditations to reshape your brain, including:

"Steadying Your Mind" to tap the full creative power of your attention
• "Taking in the Good" to maintain a positive emotional landscape
• "Antidote to Stress," a conscious way to activate your body’s relaxation response
• "Healing Painful Experiences" to free yourself from the charge of negative memories
Science has proven what contemplative traditions have taught for centuries: meditation holds a key to a life of balance, peace, and joy.

Whether you’re discovering meditation for the first time or looking for a way to deepen an existing practice, with Meditations to Change Your Brain you have a full spectrum of techniques to make your brain your greatest ally on the path to personal fulfillment.

Would you recommend Meditations to Change Your Brain to your friends? Why or why not?

Depends on when they want to use it. Three quarters of the way through it has some obnoxious chimes that make me jump out of my skin after being very relaxed.

Used this over and over!

What did you love best about Meditations to Change Your Brain?

I have gone back to this audio again and again. I found the authors voices soothing and calming, and the guided prompts were relateable.

What did you like best about this story?

My only comment on 'story' is that I might this book easier to re-read if the chapters or mediation segments were named in the chapter list.

Meditation: A daily medication for your brain

This is the easiest explanation of the brain’s workings during meditation as well as different approaches to aid one’s individual meditation practice. Promotes calm and focus and is especially useful in this time of Coronavirus.

Great book

I loved this book for it's simplicity, warmth, and ease of use. The content is accurate and clearly defined. The guided meditations are easy and useful.

A SHOT OF ENDORPHINS FOR THE BRAIN

When I need any kind of a lift, I listen to these remarkable meditations and the commonsense explanations of why this brain science is so important. I put them on when I go to sleep at night and wake up with a smile. I could have saved myself years of therapy if I had had access to this wonderful knowledge. I think this is a true work of love and one of the most useful approaches to the bleak inner and outer landscapes we live.
