This document summarizes the Buddha's teaching to Bahiya about taking life less personally and experiencing reality as it is, without projections of self.
The Buddha instructs Bahiya that when experiencing the seen, one should see only the seen qualities, without projecting thoughts of "I" or "mine". The same applies to the heard, sensed, and cognized. When one can experience phenomena in this way, without the overlay of self, there is no subjective experiencer left. This realization of non-self is said to be the end of all suffering.
Presented at Spirit Rock Meditation Center - December, 2011.
The biological evolution of awareness and the apparent self; what neuroscience tells us about the distributed and endlessly variable neural nature of the apparent self; the stress, suffering, and interpersonal difficulties that come from “excesses of self”; the importance of healthy self-compassion and self-advocacy; how to heal injuries to self-worth; methods for taking things less personally, relaxing possessiveness, and feeling more at one with all things.
Neuropsychological research on stress, emotions, and painful experiences; approach/avoid responses to the pleasant/unpleasant “hedonic tone” of experience; illuminating parallels in the Buddhist analysis of “dependent origination,” in which our reactions to the hedonic tone of experience lead to craving, clinging, and suffering; numerous methods for reducing or eliminating reactions to the hedonic tone, and thus gaining much greater emotional balance, and an increasingly unshakeable core of happiness.

Buddha's Brain: Lighting Up the Neural Circuits of Happiness, Love and WisdomRick Hanson
Combining the power of the latest brain science with the wisdom of contemplative practice, these are practical methods for centering your brain in its natural state of gladness, love, and peace.
Steadying the Mind - Healing and Treating Trauma, Addictions and Related Diso...Rick Hanson
To stay alive in the wild, our ancestors evolved highly distractible attentional systems – which pose real challenges to developing greater mindfulness today. This presentation covers how attention works in your brain, and the implications of normal neurological diversity for the “turtles” and “jackrabbits” at either end of the spectrum.
Managing the Caveman Brain in the 21st CenturyRick Hanson
The human brain evolved in three stages: reptile, mammal, and primate. Each stage has a core motivation: avoid harm, approach reward, and attach to "us." Modern life challenges these ancient neural systems with bombardments of threat messages, the endless stimulation of desire, and social disconnections and tensions of industrial, multicultural societies. This talk will explore brain-savvy ways to cultivate mindfulness in young people, and then use that mindfulness to internalize a greater sense of strength and safety, contentment, and being loved.
Rick Hanson gave this keynote address for the Bridging the Hearts and Minds of Youth: Mindfulness in Clinical Practice, Education and Research Conference at the UCSD Center for Mindfulness in February, 2012.

Taking in the Good: Building Resilience into the Brain through Positive Exper...Rick Hanson
How the brain evolved a “negativity bias” that continually looks for, reacts to, and stores negative experiences; how this shapes the interior landscape of the mind, leading to pessimism, depressed and anxious mood, and over-reactions; the neural machinery of memory; how to “trick” that machinery into weaving positive experiences into the brain and the self, leading to greater resilience, happiness, and interpersonal effectiveness; applications to particular situations, including healing trauma, cooperation with medical or psychological treatment, and raising or teaching children.
Introduction to the neuroscience of mindfulness and meditation; brain-wise methods for steadying the mind, quieting it, bringing it to singleness, and concentrating it; an exploration of what could be happening in the brain during the non-ordinary states of consciousness
The Negativity Bias and Taking in the GoodRick Hanson
The brain's evolved bias is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones. The unfortunate results include stress and threat reactivity, anxiety, depression, and limited gains in psychotherapy. Happily, through tree steps of mindful attention, we can internalize positive experiences in implicit memory systems, weaving resources for well-being, coping, and kindness into the fabric of the barin and the self.
Paper Tiger Paranoia - Rick Hanson, PhDRick Hanson
How the brain’s “negativity bias” makes clients overestimate threats, underestimate opportunities, and underestimate inner and outer resources, leading to anxiety, anger, depression, and conflicts with others – and how to help clients overcome that bias, see the good facts about the others, the world, and themselves, and build resilience for happiness, healthy relationships, and occupational success.

Taking in the Good: Helping Children Build Inner Strength and HappinessRick Hanson
Scientists believe the brain evolved a "negativity bias" that makes it like Velcro for negative experiences but Teflon for positive ones. This helped our ancestors survive, but it's bad for children (and parents) today - leading them to overreact, hold onto hurts and resentments, and have a harder time developing inner resources. To address this challenge, this presentation will use practical neuroscience to show how to weave positive experiences into the fabric of the brain and the self - including how to pair a positive experience with a negative one to heal old pain.

Pairing Positive and Negative to Fill the Hole in the HeartRick Hanson
Implicit memory systems – including expectations, emotional residues and reactive patterns – are a primary target of therapy. Since they are vulnerable to change during consolidation, the skillful pairing of positive and negative material in awareness can gradually soothe and ultimately replace negative implicit memories. This workshop will explore neuro-savvy methods for doing this, including how to identify the positive material that will best "antidote" old pain or deficits in internalized resources.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:

micro teaching on communication m.sc nursing.pdfAnurag Sharma
Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
1. “Bahiya, you should train yourself thus.”
In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen. To the heard, only
the heard. To the sensed, only the sensed. To the cognized, only the
cognized.
When for you there will be only the seen in reference to the seen, only
the heard in the heard, only the sensed in the sensed, only the
cognized in the cognized, then, Bahiya, there’s no you in that.
When there’s no you in that, there’s no you there. When there’s no you
there, you are neither here nor yonder nor between the two.
This, just this, is the end of all suffering.
The Buddha 1

“Self” in the mind
“Self” in the brain
Healthy narcissistic supplies
Taking life less personally
“Only the seen in the seen . . .”

4. Selflessness is not a case of something that existed in the past
becoming nonexistent. Rather, this sort of “self” is something
that never did exist. What is needed is to identify as
nonexistent something that always was nonexistent.
The Dalai Lama
When we recognize that the things we identify as our self are
impermanent and bound up with suffering, we realize they
lack the essential marks of authentic selfhood and we thereby
stop identifying with them.
Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi
4
6. Definitions
Person - The body-mind as a whole
Contains knowledge, personal memories, skills, temperament,
personality tendencies, mood, etc.
Has considerable consistency over time
Deserves kindness and justice; is morally culpable
Self - “I, me, and mine”
Psychological self; the “I” in “I am happy, I want a cookie, I
know 2+2=4, I am for justice”; the “me” in “Do you love me?”
The apparent owner of experiences and agent of actions
Awareness - The field in which the mind (as yet
mysteriously) represents aspects of the mind to itself
“Global workspace” in which representations of the person,
self-related functions, and subjectivity arise and pass away 6
7. Conventional Notions of “Self”
Unified - coherent; just one; a being, an entity; some
one looking out through your eyes.
Stable - unchanging in its fundamentals; the core self
as a child still feels present in you today
Independent - things happen to the self, but it remains
free of their effects in its essence.
Identity - That which one is; that with which there is the
greatest identification
7
8. Actual Experience of “Self”
Compounded – Made up of many parts; one self vows to exercise
early, another self turns off the alarm clock
Impermanent – More or less present at different times; different
aspects come forward at different times
Dependent – Developed in interactions with caregivers and peers
and encounters with the world; grounded in evolution; activating
and deactivating as a means to the ends of the organism;
especially responsive to opportunities and threats; self organizes
around clinging; there is a process of selfing rather than a static,
fixed, unchanging entity.
Part of the person – There is awareness of aspects of self as
contents within awareness like any others
8
9. The dualistic ego-mind is essentially a survival
mechanism, on a par with the fangs, claws, stingers,
scales, shells, and quills that other animals use to
protect themselves.
By maintaining a separate self-sense, it attempts to
provide a haven of security.
Yet the very boundaries that create a sense of safety
also leave us feeling cut off and disconnected.
John Welwood 9
10. Actual Experience of “Self”
Compounded – Made up of many parts; one self vows to exercise
early, another self turns off the alarm clock
Impermanent – More or less present at different times; different
aspects come forward at different times
Dependent – Developed in interactions with caregivers and peers
and encounters with the world; grounded in evolution; activating
and deactivating as a means to the ends of the organism;
especially responsive to opportunities and threats; self organizes
around clinging; there is a process of self-ing rather than a static,
fixed, unchanging entity.
Part of the person – There is awareness of aspects of self as
contents within awareness like any others.
10
11. The Experience of “Self” is Empty
The Buddha deconstructed reality into five aggregates:
Form - materiality and its bare representation in awareness
Feeling - the “hedonic tone” of pleasant, unpleasant, neutral
Perception - categorization (draws on language and memory)
Volitional formations - thoughts, desires, emotions, psychodynamics
Consciousness - awareness [Form is “rupa,” all else is “nama”]
Aggregates are impermanent. There are no things, only events.
Events arise and pass away due to causes: dependent origination.
Therefore, everything is empty of any fundamental self-arising,
self-existent nature.
Emptiness - “shunyatta” - is an attribute, not a thing. If an
underlying ground had absolute existence, it would not be empty.
11
In experience, self-ing changes dependently: it is empty.
12. When we understand the aggregates as processes without independent
existence, we are not anguished by their dissolution. Formation and
dissolution are the natural order of things.
All suffering is caused by delusion - misperception as to the nature of
self and phenomena. Because of this delusion we cling to things,
claim ownership of them, don’t want to let them go. The Buddha’s
proposal for liberation from suffering is simple enough: understand
the true nature of phenomena - including the self - and don’t cling
to anything.
This non-clinging will eventually lead to serenity, contentment, and
joy in life.
Mu Soeng

14. Properties of Self in Your Brain
Compounded – Distributed systems and sub-systems; no
homunculus looking through your eyes
Impermanent – Circuits light up and deactivate; fluid, transient
Dependent – Dependent on neural structures and processes;
dependent on the evolution of specialized neural tissues (e.g.,
spindle cells); responsive to stimuli;
Part of the person – Self-related activations in neural circuitry are
just a tiny fraction of the total activations in the brain
The neural circuitry associated with self representations or functions
also performs many other activities unrelated to self.
In the brain, self is not special.
14
17. Subjectivity Doesn’t Equal a Subject
Ordinary awareness has an inherent subjectivity, a
localization to a particular perspective (e.g., to my body, not
yours): “ipseity.”
The brain indexes across experiences of subjectivity to
create an apparent subject.
That apparent subject is elaborated and layered through the
maturation of the brain, notably the prefrontal cortex.
But there is no subject inherent in subjectivity!
Awareness requires subjectivity, but not a subject.
17
18. The Neurology of “Self” Is Empty
In sum, from a neurological standpoint, the everyday feeling of
being a unified self is an utter illusion:
The apparently coherent and solid “I” is actually built from
many neural subsystems, with no fixed center.
The apparently stable “I” is is produced by variable and
transient activations of neural circuits.
The apparently independent “I” depends on neural circuitry,
the evolutionary processes that built them, critical
interactions with others to shape those circuits, and the
stimuli of the moment.
Neurologically, self is “empty” - without absolute, inherent 18
existence.
20. Self Is Like a Unicorn
Self-related patterns of information and neural activity are as real
as those that underlie the smell of roses.
But that which they point to – a unified, enduring, independent “I” –
just doesn’t exist.
Just because we have a sense of self does not mean that we are a
self. The brain strings together heterogenous moments of self-ing
and subjectivity into an illusion of homogenous coherence and
continuity.
Real representations in the brain of a horse point to something that
is also real. But the real representations of a unicorn in the brain
point to something that is not real.
The real representations of the self in the brain point to another
mythical creature: the apparent self. 20
21. Blissful is passionlessness in the world,
The overcoming of sensual desires;
But the abolition of the conceit I am --
That is truly the supreme bliss.
The Buddha, Udāna 2.11
21
23. Relaxing Selfing: Perspectives
You need a coherence of person to relax selfing.
Cautions: dissociative disorders; borderline personality
disorder; “spacey, airy” people
Distinguish between the person (the body-mind as a
whole) and the apparent self (the supposedly unified,
stable, and independent owner of experiences and
agent of actions).
Enjoy the peace of less selfing.
23
24. Using Mindfulness to Relax Selfing
Notice how little “I” there is in many activities (e.g., reaching for salt,
cuddling); take in that sense of minimal selfing combined with life
being OK.
Notice how “I” changes; see how it grows in response to threats,
opportunities, and contact with others; consider the apparent “I” as
a process rather than as an being.
Focus on present moment experience as a process.
Be mindful of yourself as the protagonist in the “mini-movies”
running in the mind.
Beware presuming that others are intentionally targeting you.
24
26. Feeding the Hungry Heart
Healthy development requires caregivers to give a child
extensive mirroring, attunement, and prizing; healthy
adult relationships require much the same.
These are normal “narcissistic supplies.” Deficits in
them lead to:
Feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness, and shame
Tendencies toward extremes of clinging or distance
As an adult, you can take in narcissistic supplies,
gradually weaving them into your brain and your being.
This is not clinging to praise, etc. It is filling the hole in
your heart so your happiness is increasingly 26
unconditional - not dependent on external events.
27. Liking and Wanting
Distinct neural systems for liking and wanting
In the brain: feeling tone --> enjoying (liking) --> wanting
--> pursuing
Wanting without liking is hell.
Liking without wanting is heaven.
The distinction between chandha (wholesome wishes
and aspirations) and tanha (craving)
But beware: the brain usually wants (craves) and
pursues (clings) to what it likes.
27
28. How to Take in the Good
1. Look for positive facts, and let them become
positive experiences.
2. Savor the positive experience:
Sustain it for 10-20-30 seconds.
Feel it in your body and emotions.
Intensify it.
3. Sense and intend that the positive experience is
soaking into your brain and body - registering
deeply in emotional memory. 28
29. Feeling Cared About
As we evolved, we increasingly turned to and relied
on others to feel safer and less threatened.
Exile from the band was a death sentence in the Serengeti.
Attachment behaviors: relying on the secure base
The well-documented power of social support to buffer stress
and aid recovery from painful experiences
Methods:
Recognize it’s kind to others to feel cared about yourself.
Look for occasions to feel cared about and take them in.
Deliberately bring to mind the experience of being cared
about in challenging situations.
29
Be caring yourself.
30. Feeling Like a Good Person
Everyone has good qualities. No halo is required to have patience,
determination, fairness, curiousity, honesty, kindness, etc.
Recognizing these qualities in yourself is simply seeing reality with
clear eyes, just like recognizing good food in your cupboard or good
qualities in another person.
Methods:
Pick a good quality that you know you have.
Pay attention to any obstructions to recognizing and appreciating this
good quality. Let them be . . . then let them go and return attention to
the good quality.
Gather evidence for this good quality in you (e.g., examples).
Be mindful of what the good quality feels like in your body and mind; let
it sink in.
Consider how this good quality contributes to yourself and to others.
Open to a simple gladness for this good quality; let it sink in.
30
32. Egocentric Perspective
Based on upper processing streams in the brain that involve: upper
portions of the thalamus that confer “self” salience; rear regions of
the “default network” (e.g., precuneus, posterior cingulate cortex);
parietal regions that construct an enduring and unified sense of “my
body in space”
Establishes “where it is in relation to me”; lower visual field
Develops earliest in childhood
“Subjective” - Things exist in relation to me.
Action-oriented - Focus on reacting to carrots and sticks
32
33. Allocentric Perspective
Based on lower processing streams in the brain that involve: lower
regions of the thalamus that confer “world” salience;
Establishes “what it is independent of me”; upper visual field
Begins developing around age four
“Objective” - Things exist in a physical space in which their location
is impersonal, not in reference to the viewpoint of an observer.
This perspective pervades kensho and other forms of non-dual
awareness. It is strengthened in open awareness meditations that
draw heavily on the alerting, lower attentional system.
Being-oriented 33
34. Strengthening Allocentric Processing
As one perspective increases, the other decreases. Normal ego/allo
fluctuations occur ~ 3-4/minute.
With “contact,” allocentric processing increases briefly as the new
stimulus is considered in its own right; then egocentric processing
surges forward as one figures out what to do about the “feeling
tone” (pleasant, unpleasant, neutral) of the stimulus.
Open awareness practices in which there are many moments of
new contact could incline the brain toward allocentric modes.
Lower regions of the thalamus and its reticular cap - with
concentrations of GABA neurons - inhibit egocentric processing.
Reducing wanting reduces egocentric processing. 34
36. “Bahiya, you should train yourself thus.”
In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen. To the heard, only
the heard. To the sensed, only the sensed. To the cognized, only the
cognized.
When for you there will be only the seen in reference to the seen, only
the heard in the heard, only the sensed in the sensed, only the
cognized in the cognized, then, Bahiya, there’s no you in that.
When there’s no you in that, there’s no you there. When there’s no you
there, you are neither here nor yonder nor between the two.
This, just this, is the end of all suffering.
The Buddha 36
37. Be wisdom itself,
rather than a person who isn't wise
trying to become wise.
Trust in awareness, in being awake,
rather than in transient and unstable conditions.
Ajahn Sumedho
37
38. Thank you
Be still
Listen to the stones of the wall
Be silent, they try
To speak your
Name.
Listen to the living walls.
Who are you?
Who
Are you? Whose
Silence are you?
