Have you ever wondered why we worry so much? And what, if anything, we can do about it? We’re taking up these questions in a class I’m co-teaching this term at Georgetown University’s Integrative Medicine Program. In this post I share some PowerPoint slides from the class that shed light on the neurobiology of worry, in particular something called the brain’s default mode network. I also take up the Eastern roots of Western cognitive science and the cognitive, behavioral and physiologic components of worry’s true antidote: mindfulness.
Hi Daniel,
Once again you presented this information in such a beautiful and very inclusive way.
The history of the default programming and ways to become present and not distracted dating back to so many disciplines and philosophies.
Since I am teaching the Intro to Mindfulness, I thought your information so important so I forwarded your video to my participants.
Thank you,
Cypress
Many thanks, Cypress:
I’m glad this information will help your students. May all beings be happy –
Daniel
May we all awaken together:)
