The slides are prepared for the speech given at the 3rd International Energy Medicine Exchange Seminar April 20, 2013 - illustrating how reinventing the past can heal trauma.
Mindfulness and Taking in the Good: Using Neuroplasticity to Weave Resources ...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.

Neurodharma: Exploring Buddhist Themes in the BrainRick Hanson
The document discusses how exploring Buddhist themes can provide insight into the brain. It summarizes that the brain evolved over millions of years to help organisms survive, but this creates contradictions with the nature of existence that result in ongoing discomfort or "dukkha." However, when not threatened, the brain naturally settles into a responsive mode characterized by calmness, contentment, and caring, which represents its most optimal state. Meditation can help strengthen this natural state of happiness and well-being.
The document provides an overview of steadying the mind through mindfulness and concentration practices. It discusses:
1) The foundations of mindfulness including awareness, attention, and concentration.
2) Challenges to a steady mind like an evolutionarily tuned scanning attention and life experiences that heighten distraction.
3) Neural factors of mindfulness like relaxing the body, feeling safe, and positive emotion that support mindfulness development over time through training the mind.
Managing the Caveman Brain in the 21st CenturyRick Hanson
This document summarizes a talk on managing the caveman/cavewoman brain in the 21st century. It discusses perspectives on bringing together neuroscience, psychology and contemplative practice. It then covers topics like the evolving brain, the negativity bias, self-directed neuroplasticity, and coming home to the brain's natural responsive mode. It emphasizes how mindfulness can be used to shape the brain through attention and experience positive emotions and internalize resources in implicit memory. The talk provides strategies for taking in the good and using psychological antidotes to reactive tendencies.

The Kintsugi Theory of Tech Addiction RecoveryMichael Sharber
Tech addictions come in many forms: social media, video games, Internet, pornography, chat rooms... after talking with addicts for over a year on Reddit, and through personal experience in addiction recovery, I came up with this theory. We all try to "fill a hole," but with unhealthy addictions. This imperfect theory can be a starting point for those who want to cut down, eliminate, or substitute their tech addiction.
This document discusses concepts related to not taking life personally from a Buddhist perspective.
The document begins by summarizing a teaching from the Buddha to Bahiya where the Buddha instructs Bahiya to only perceive the seen as seen, the heard as heard, etc. and to realize that when there is only the seen as seen with no "you" perceiving it, there is no suffering.
It then discusses how taking life personally and identifying with mental constructs like the self leads to suffering. However, it notes that the self and sense of identity serve important evolutionary purposes for survival.
The key, according to the document, is to be able to skillfully engage and disengage from self-representations

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.
Who Am I Really? Insights from Neuropsychology about Not Taking Life PersonallyRick Hanson
This document discusses insights from neuropsychology about not taking life too personally. It explores topics like self-directed neuroplasticity, dual modes of mind, and egocentric versus allocentric perspectives. Meditation is shown to increase gray matter in areas related to self-awareness, memory, and executive function. Practices that cultivate an impersonal "open awareness" can strengthen processing from an allocentric perspective.
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.
The document discusses Chapter 14 from the 9th edition of the psychology textbook "Psychology" by David Myers. It covers perspectives and classifications of psychological disorders. It defines psychological disorders as deviant, distressing and dysfunctional behaviors. Disorders are classified in the DSM-IV using a multi-axial system. The chapter then examines specific disorders like anxiety disorders, dissociative disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia and personality disorders. It explores perspectives like biological, learning and social factors influencing these conditions.
This document provides an overview of key concepts and theories in personality psychology, including psychoanalytic, humanistic, trait, and social-cognitive perspectives. It summarizes Freud's psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious mind and psychosexual development. It also discusses humanistic theories of self-actualization and the importance of self-concept. Regarding traits, it outlines the Big Five model and methods of assessing traits. Finally, it summarizes Bandura's social-cognitive perspective on personality as an interaction between personal and environmental factors.
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.
This document discusses the experiences that many go through after an awakening experience. While the inner state may be one of joy and happiness, the external life often gets worse with struggles in money, health and relationships. It suggests that awakening is just the beginning and that applying one's awakened state to the external world through a science of manifestation is needed to truly thrive outwardly. It identifies some common coping mechanisms used like spiritual escapism, determination and indoctrination that can prevent outward success and fulfillment.

The document discusses theories of the cognitive unconscious. It mentions Sigmund Freud's concept of the censor and repression in the unconscious mind. It also discusses Edmund Husserl's phenomenological reduction and the difficulty of fully accounting for other subjects. Additionally, it references Edith Stein's work on empathy and the ability to directly experience another's emotions without them being one's own. The document provides an overview of several perspectives on concepts related to unconscious cognitive processes.

This document provides instructions for performing Pro EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, which is a method for tapping on meridian points to neutralize negative emotions. It lists 10 standard tapping points used in EFT and provides basic instructions for how to perform a tapping session, including assessing the intensity of the negative emotion, tapping while speaking reminder phrases, reassessing intensity after tapping, and repeating as needed until the intensity is reduced. It notes that frequent tapping may be needed and that more advanced study or sessions could be required if an issue is not fully resolved with basic tapping.
This document provides a complete manual and guide for using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is a form of psychological acupuncture that involves tapping on specific meridian points while speaking affirming statements. EFT can be used to treat a wide range of mental, emotional, and physical issues, such as addictions, trauma, stress, pain, and more. The document outlines the history, principles, techniques, and applications of EFT in detail.

The document discusses Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is a form of psychotherapy that involves tapping on acupuncture points to reduce negative emotions. It notes that 85% of veterans in a research study on EFT for combat trauma experienced an average 63% reduction in PTSD symptoms after just six hours of EFT treatment. The document provides an overview of EFT and describes its effectiveness in reducing stress, trauma, anxiety, depression and other issues based on case studies and research.
Basic introduction to the emotional freedom technique presenter powerpointEvolutionWellness
The document introduces the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as a method for addressing emotional "short circuits" that disrupt normal energy flow through the body's meridian system based on Eastern philosophy. It provides evidence that EFT reduced anxiety and normalized brain wave patterns in patients with generalized anxiety disorder. The document also discusses how EFT may allow stored emotions to release and restore energetic balance, which can positively impact cellular processes related to health conditions.
This document discusses synchronous online learning for adults. It notes that synchronous learning allows for real-time interaction between students and immediate feedback, helping to reduce isolation. Students can develop a sense of community. However, there are also disadvantages like technological issues that could disrupt scheduled meetings or prevent students from receiving information. Students may also feel uncomfortable interacting virtually rather than in-person. The document recommends using various tools to engage students and account for different learning styles, as well as being prepared to address technological problems.

También incluye el horario regular y de verano, así como un calendario mensual detallando las diversas actividades planeadas por tema como navidad, carnaval, deportes y más. El mes de julio se dedica a un campamento de verano.
The document discusses the link between mind, memory, and mitochondria. It explains that traumatic memories are stored implicitly in the limbic system and can manifest as chronic illnesses when triggered. Mitochondria play a key role in energy production but can become dysfunctional under stress, leading to conditions like chronic fatigue. Psychosensory therapies like EMDR help make implicit memories explicit again by disrupting the neural pathways through sensory stimulation, allowing the memory and its emotions to be reconsolidated and resolved.
Morganne Ray from Outright Vermont discusses self-care for activists and allies. The presentation covers trauma, building resiliency, staying grounded during actions, supporting others experiencing trauma, and integrating experiences after actions. Tips are provided on preparing for actions, reducing stress during actions, and recovering afterwards through exercise, expression, and social support. International and domestic organizations doing trauma support work for activists are also listed.
Gain a working knowledge of the interaction of our brain structures when we are connecting with ourselves and others. You will learn how empathy integrates your nervous system, and how the tools of Life-Focused Communication (NVC) moves you into greater clarity, spaciousness and choice.
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.

From a survival perspective the symptoms of PTSD make a lot of sense. We explore not only how the cognitive symptoms can be understood in terms of helping people make sense of the situation and survive, but also how physical symptoms including hypocortisolism make sense to help the organism survive.
The document discusses ways to cultivate inner peace and tranquility through meditation and Buddhist teachings. It states that a sage who has extinguished inner fires and severed attachments rests easily without disturbance. All pain and suffering arise from attachment and desire, which disturb the mind; but one who has found peace has led the heart away from pain and attained tranquility. The Buddha taught the path to peace is through quenching inner fires and severing attachments so the mind can be undisturbed.
Healing Trauma through Somatic Experiencing and Gestalt Therapy bwitchel
Develop a basic understanding of Somatic Experiencing®, a short-term approach to healing trauma, and the use of Gestalt Therapy in trauma resolution.
Dr. Bob Witchel
Holistic mindbody approach to trauma resolution. Trauma can be conscious or unconscious and can cause everything from depression to chronic pain via the autonomic nervous system stress response. Here I look at ways to overcome these 'unresolved emotional memories', usually laid down in childhood and exacerbated by adult events.
Psychoanalysis and Defense Mechanisms Floyd Flores
This document provides an overview of psychoanalysis, including its definition, history, key figures, and concepts. It discusses that psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th century as a treatment for mental disorders involving making the unconscious conscious. Freud developed theories around the id, ego, and superego structure of personality, as well as defense mechanisms used by the ego like repression, denial, and displacement. The document also examines Freud's life and work establishing psychoanalysis as an influential theory and therapeutic approach.
The document discusses the myths that lead people into the "happiness trap" and cause undue stress and mental health issues. It outlines four common myths: 1) happiness is the natural human state, 2) unhappiness means something is defective, 3) we must get rid of negative feelings, and 4) we can control our thoughts and feelings. However, the document explains that human minds evolved for survival, not happiness, and that suffering is a natural part of the human experience. It advocates understanding how the mind and stress response system work in order to better cope with stressors using techniques like mindfulness, flow states, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
DrRic Building a Spiritual Yogic Practice to Neutralize Stress (slide share e...DrRic Saguil
Practicing spirituality and mindfulness through yoga, meditation, and other techniques can help reduce stress and promote health and well-being. It works by calming the stress response in the body and activating the relaxation response. This allows the body to avoid long-term health issues caused by constant stress and perform at its best. Regular practice is needed to fully realize these benefits and maintain a peaceful state of being.
Using the Mind To Change the Brain: Talks @Google - Rick Hanson, PhDRick Hanson
Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers were all born with a brain built essentially like anyone else's. Then they used their minds to change their brains in ways that changed history. With the new breakthroughs in neuroscience, combined with insights from thousands of years of contemplative practice, you, too, can shape your own brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom.
Written with neurologist Richard Mendius, M.D., and with a Foreword by Daniel Siegel, M.D. and a Preface by Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom joins modern science with ancient teachings to show you how to have greater emotional balance in turbulent times, as well as healthier relationships, more effective actions, and greater peace of mind.

Trauma & Recovery
What is trauma?
What are some of the ways that you or people you know have experienced trauma?
What is (1) hyperarousal, (2) intrusion and (3) constriction.
What surprised you from the readings?
The systems that give people a sense of control, connection and meaning are overwhelmed.
The incident includes threats to life or bodily integrity, a close personal encounter with violence, or witnessing grotesque death.
The event engenders a feeling of intense fear, helplessness, loss of control, and threat of annihilation.
Trauma often occurs when…
So the healing process must address the reestablishment of control, connection and meaning!

When the force is of nature, we speak of disasters or catastrophes.
When the force is that of other human beings, we speak of atrocities or terrorism.

Potentially Traumatic Experiences
Trauma undermines the belief systems that give meaning to human experience.
Traumatized persons can lose trust in themselves, in other people, and in God.
The Traumatized Self
Traumatic Stress
PTSD references a “disorder” characterized by symptoms that imply a high level of daily dysfunction which emerges in the wake of a traumatic experience.
Countless untreated people have sub-clinical traumas that do not impinge severely upon their activities of daily living.
The ordinary response to danger entails a complex system of reactions.
Threat arouses the nervous system, causing the endangered person to go into a state of alert.
Concentration on the immediate threat, allows a person to disregard fatigue or pain.
Changes in arousal, attention, perception, and emotion mobilize the person for either “fightor flight.”
An Ordinary Response
If there is neither time nor strength for fight or flight and death appears imminent, the body will freeze.
The victim of trauma enters an altered state – time slows down, there is no fear or pain.
Fight, Flight or Freeze
Many trauma survivors feel guilt and shame for freezing and not doing more to protect themselves by fighting back or running away.
Understanding that freezing is an automatic response can facilitate the healing process.
Fight, Flight or Freeze
Trauma occurs when the human system for self-defense becomes overwhelmed and/or meaning-making structures become undermined.
Components of our “survival” system tend to persist in an exaggerated state long after the actual danger is over.
Traumatic events can thus produce lasting ...

The effects of trauma are experienced physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually. Many who have been touched by natural disasters or human atrocities view their spiritual distress as the most intense of these responses.
While many of the therapeutic models used today all but fail to address this important aspect of humanness, a growing number of psychotherapists are exploring alternate methods of healing in an effort to address the spiritual distress experienced by their traumatized clients. As they being their study of spirituality and spiritual interventions as
different from religion and religious models, some of these therapists are revisiting ancient methods of soul healing, including the time- honored teachings and practices of Shamanism. In this discussion article, the relationship between triggers, flashbacks and dissociation are explored from both a neurological perspective and a spiritual
(rooted in Shamanic knowledge) perspective. These two worldviews are compared and contrasted. Questions are presented which invite psychotherapists to ponder the need for an increased understanding of spiritual distress and spiritual interventions in order to provide to their trauma clients a more balanced and holistic approach.
A New Model: Advancing Organizational Security Through Peacebuilding-1st draftMichele Chubirka
Why is the security industry so full of fail? We spend millions of dollars on firewalls, IPS, IDS, DLP, professional penetration tests and assessments, and vulnerability and compliance tools, and at the end of the day, the weakest link is the user and his or her inability to make the right choices. It's enough to make a security engineer cry.
The one thing you can depend upon in an enterprise is that many of your users, even with training, will still make the wrong choices. They will violate BYOD restrictions, click on links they shouldn't, respond to phishing scams, open documents without thinking, post too much information on Twitter and Facebook, use their pet's name as passwords, etc. But what if this isn't because users hate us or are too stupid? What if all our ignored policies and procedures regarding the best security practices have more to do with our failure to understand modern neuroscience and the human mind's resistance to change?
Humans are wired to be emotional beings. Emotions influence most of our decisions, good and bad. In failing to understand how this is at the root of user non-compliance, no matter how much money we spend on expensive hardware and software, we will fail to achieve the goal of good organizational security.

threat
Anxiety A feeling of apprehension or fear. The source of this is not always known or recognized
Phobias
Fear about a specific object or situation that is out of proportion

1. The document discusses the relationship between neuroscience and meditation. It notes that meditation can help transform the brain and mind by changing neural pathways through focused attention on positive thoughts and experiences.
2. Various effects of meditation on the brain are proposed, including increased activity in the left frontal lobe and levels of serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine. These biochemical changes are associated with reduced stress and anxiety as well as increased calmness and well-being.
3. The document acknowledges some caveats, such as the risk of oversimplification and the need for clinical support in cases of underlying health conditions. Overall, it argues that traditional meditation practices can help alleviate suffering by cultivating wholesome mental states known to

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

How Reinventing The Past Can Heal

2. Trauma is an to a
terrible event like an accident, rape or natural
disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and
denial are typical. Longer term reactions include
unpredictable , flashbacks, strained
relationships and even physical symptoms like
headaches or nausea. While these feelings are
normal, some people have difficulty moving on
with their lives.

3. Traumatic experiences often involve a
threat to life or safety, but any situation
that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and
alone can be traumatic, even if it doesn’t
involve physical harm. It’s not the
objective facts that determine whether
an event is traumatic, but your

helpless you feel, the more likely you
are to be traumatized.

23. •Focus on being specific
•Identify with a title a particular
incident with intense emotional
charge
•Systematically and gently let the
person re-count the emotionally
charged event as if in a movie
•Stop and use EFT sequence to
reduce SUDs to zero
•Every bad part of the movie gets
“edited” by the EFT tapping
sequence on the specific emotional
charge until the intensity the
memory/movie gets to zero
•The Movie Technique does not
require a client to disclose what the
event was, protecting his privacy
and dignity.
EFT - Movie Technique
24. •Ask permission to tap on ECHO
•Identify intensity of emotional
charge
•Systematically approach the core
issues
•Tapping on the issue and various
aspects until the SUDs are down to
zero
•Once every bad image of the movie
has been “edited” and tapped on,
take a snap-shot of the happy and
beautiful image you and the ECHO
have created in the Matrix and add
love, colors, music, and other happy
sensory stimuli to the sequence of
events
ReImprinting the Matrix
25. •The now newly anchored emotions and
positive images are re-imprinted onto the
Matrix / field where new patterns around
the new information can start to form in
the person’s life.
The past does not exist unless...
26. •When the positive images are re-
imprinted onto the Matrix / field, going
back into the memory should feel free of
any emotional charge
•If there is more to heal, there might be
another ECHO that appears already during
or after tapping on the issue.
•And after the newly reimprinted image
has been integrates, another memory can
be edited and the person can gradually
regain control of his life again.
...we keep it alive in our memory.
