Google Tech Talks April 22, 2009 ABSTRACT This interactive talk will examine two major questions: What is the mind? and How can we create a healthy mind? We’…

For those who practice prayer or meditation might find this neurology
behind our mindfulness a helpful analysis of our activities. That there are
physiological changes which take place in the brain as a result of activity
has been known for some time, but the specific insights as to the benefits
in empathy and higher frontal lobe functions. He does not say so, but if we
wish to learn to love our neighbor, here is a means to that end.

had thought before about linkage of mind functions as mathematical
integration (and thus derivation). glad to see this idea brought up in this
video
This was well worth the hour of listening time. How a scientist comes to
the understanding of the value of “meditation”, “self-remembering”, “inner
silence” via clinical research of brain damaged patients.
The beginning and end of this talk are fascinating. Brain mapping in the
middle drags a bit.
amazing!
To all therapist It is good to know about this

Love Daniel Siegel’s work and talks. His books I find somewhat inaccessible
to the lay person but are still very worth working through.

Hast du dich jemals gefragt, wie man unseren #Geist (engl.: mind)
definieren könnte? *Dr. Dan Siegel* stellt hier seine verblüffend einfache
und doch griffige Definition vor. Außerdem demonstriert er ein wirklich
“handliches” Modell unseres #Gehirns … Genial!

Have you ever wondered how to define our #mind ? *Dr. Dan Siegel* shares
with us his amazingly simple yet catchy definition. He also demonstrates a
real “handy” model of the human #brain … Brilliant!

What do Damasio, Tononi, Harris, Dennett, Sacks, Pinker, Ledoux and types
like this think about these ideas? I want to buy this book for my mom, but
not if this is like Jeffery Schwartz The Mind and The Brain trying too hard
to save free will…

(Sorry, continued from last post) Just a month after starting four years
ago, I was better able to respond appropriately (and cheerfully!?) to
particular situations. Thank you for reading my comment.
Just one request: show me reliable, independent data. put them in your
commentary – otherwise your talk is worth way less than you actually sell
it for.
As a holistic psychotherapist, I’ve spent a good part of my 27 years in
practice searching for a working definition of not only the mind, but of
consciousness. I’ve often said that “good mental health is not a natural
sport.” Our natural response is to react; which frequently gets us into all
kinds of trouble. Good mental health requires skill, knowledge and
practice. I appreciate the work of Dr. Siegel, as he offers concrete
suggestions as to how to achieve healthy functioning.
@MardukHail I think someone is suffering from a bit of rigity… 😛
hah! He sure does!
awesome! Thanks!
When employers creep deeper & deeper in2 areas previously met by other
facets of society What recourse do employees hv when disputes arise, when
personal interest r in conflict with group interest for example. When group
objective is 2 increase margins at all costs .Especially when every1 from d
Monk 2 D Psychiatrist all on company payroll & friction is detrimental 2
group earnings, Then how? Free agents who look out 4 number one & cliques
who form inside d camp grounds? Congrats!
Loved the Book, resonates with the experiences of my days. Reflection,
awareness, integration…WOW. SO plainly and well described:)
Great lecture that is very optimistic about the ability of the mind to
change, the importance of relationships and the power of meditation.
An important talk. Thanks to Dr. Siegel and Google for sharing it. These
contents are not easy to find in free form and they are very necessary to
help us in this part of the world understand what inner growth is about.
Listening, re-listening and taking notes is the best way to enjoy it.
@DefiningConcepts DefiningConcepts Also as we relate to situations the
brain organizes itself and has a better model of reality than we are aware
of. The secret to the mindshift is that we can access our genius by
relating to both our non verbal and verbal skills, rather than trying to
only use our logical thinking for everything. Logic is more for checking
our whole brain thinking.
i wanna marry his BRAIN!!!
13:47 Important point about relationships: Relationships shape the firing
in the brain; and when neurons fire, they actually change their synaptic
connections with each other. The way we learn, the way we grow, the way we
develop is by experiences in addition to genes shaping the synaptic
connections in the nervous system. We know that relationships shape those
connections.
I’d be interested in the 400 word guide… Thanks! Can you send it in a
message?
A brilliant and engaging talk. Thanks Google for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this ….a good and healthy one hour session
@evelutionofone So you think the little mind is lower than the big mind,
unlike balls and tits.
It’s all about “Vipassana” meditation in Buddhism.
(Sorry, continued from last post) …a cow metaphor that some Buddhist
teachers came up with (cow is mind, stake is meditative focus, grass over
there is impetus to wander). My friend was passing on what he learned from
his lessons from a Zen temple as well as his subsequent experience. I’d be
willing to forward it to you and answer questions if you would like to take
meditation on for yourself. In case you are wondering, it is a
concentration meditation, focusing on breathing.
I’d recommend The brain that changes itself by Norman Doidge, one basic
book of neuroplasticity. It features some brand new ideas, and a new model
of autism. (With a way to solve some of the main problems with autism, for
example the social skills and communications.)
@misdelivery There are many ways to approach things that are better… many
that are worse. Comparison like this is unhealthy. Clearly, may people
found this valuable.
I’m so glad I’ve found this video. It will definitely help my understanding
of the world. Thanks for google techtalk for sharing it with us;
@greetasdf nobody’s gonna show you shit. it’s called BOOKS. go read one –
might help you.
A brilliant presentation. Such a great teacher. Bringing together the
latest scientific finding to help the understanding of the effectiveness of
mindfulness! Such an important collection of information.

Para cuando en español o subtitulado?
Of course.. I’m just saying, as a buddhist, it sounds familiar.. “The mind
uses the brain to create itself..” You could also think of the brain as the
radio, not the radio-station..
good video im on page 85 of the book just about to get into the meat of it
right on
I disagree, if the mind is receptive to transmission, then it is equally
capable of broadcasting, so to speak 🙂
