I think it makes sense you would be able to enter deeper states of relaxation. I've heard in animal studies they've shown that if you disable the parasympathetic nerve into the heart then it just beats a constant, quite high rate.

I miss the 90s and early 2000s where Big Air was just about extreme sports. Hahaha.

Apparently everyone experiences an accident once per every 17.9 years of driving. My wife just got hit by a truck on the freeway yesterday. Amazingly there was not a scratch on her. It made us re-evaluate what we drive though as when we che

Im waiting on my emWavePro to come in the mail so I can start training cardiac coherence. The science behind it is fascinating.

I've got my first actual EMDR session on Monday. Did the setup session last time. Sounds like woo and too good to be true but then you look and it seems to be backed by solid science and credible people. Thought I might as well give it

What about cardiac coherence training?

Just turns out there are a tonne of environments that make people behave in toxic ways. People pretty much are toxic.

Just do it the high tech way by using Cardiac Coherence apps like Inner Balance. Scientists studying Heart Rate Variablity (HRV) looked at all the highly skilled groups of mediators in the world and found basically the same thing - they all

Different parts of the brain actually do different things. So... which 10%? We're always using a % of our brain, but it's constantly shifting around which regions are active.

I'm learning the mindfulness skills from the DBT skills workbook. For the first time I really get what 'mindfulness' is. It's actually quite accessible and not just some vague term. Really enjoying learning mindfulness s

Blinkist honestly just never really helped me. I can't say I feel like anything really stuck. The one way I thought about using it that would probably actually work reasonably well but I was too ADHD to stick with without structural su

As I read the first two paragraphs I was like "sounds like ADHD". Yeah, agree about the name too. It's terrible. Doesn't describe the lived experience remotely. Just how it annoys other people around you.
