This document discusses the relationship between mental fitness and physical wellness. It addresses this topic through four quadrants: biological, psychospiritual, interpersonal, and worldly. Maintaining mental fitness through practices like gratitude, forgiveness, and loving-kindness can have positive impacts on physical health such as reducing depression, high blood pressure, and improving immunity. Specific activities are provided to enhance gratitude, release resentment, and relax the mind and body.
Emotions are responses to stimuli that involve physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, conscious experience, and mood. There are basic emotions like fear, surprise, anger, disgust, happiness, and sadness that are innate, as well as complex emotions that are blends of aspects of emotions. Emotions can motivate behavior and influence decision making by helping us set goals. Theories about emotions include the James-Lange Theory that physiological arousal causes emotions, the Cannon-Bard Theory that physiological arousal and emotions occur simultaneously, and the Facial Feedback Theory that facial muscle movements cause emotions.
The document summarizes several theories of personality including Freud's psychodynamic theory, trait theories, and neo-Freudian perspectives. Freud believed the mind is divided into the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. He proposed psychosexual stages of development and the id, ego, and superego structures. Jung emphasized the collective unconscious and archetypes. Adler focused on inferiority complexes and birth order effects. Trait theories described types and traits as dimensions of personality.
This document discusses temperament and its significance. It describes how personality develops from life experiences and is colored by one's temperament. Temperament is a blend of inherited and non-inherited qualities that influence a person's moods and characteristics. The four main temperaments are choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, and melancholic, which relate to the four streams of being and different body systems. Jungian and Native American perspectives on intuition, thinking, feeling, and sensation are briefly outlined. Lastly, a diagram shows Steiner's view of the four streams and their relationship to the soul and physical body.
This document discusses managing emotions in organizations. It provides an overview of various theories of emotion including the James-Lange theory, cognitive theories, and affective events theory. It also discusses emotional intelligence, different types of emotions like approach and deterrence emotions, and applications of understanding emotions in areas like decision making, motivation, leadership, and conflict resolution. Managing emotions in organizations is important for creating a healthy organizational climate and allowing for optimal performance.
The document discusses calm mind and how to achieve it. Calm mind is a sign of wisdom and inner strength that takes a neutral stance without arrogance or jealousy. It brings ultimate happiness of inner peace. Effects of calm mind include good health, normal intelligence through an unbiased view, and being able to defend oneself without anger. Gaining calm mind involves controlling the mind by reducing self-centered and destructive emotions and increasing altruistic qualities like compassion. Transforming the mind requires conviction in interdependence and practicing compassion through moral ethics and positive actions, thoughts, and emotions.
Compassion focused therapy is based on 3 key ideas:
1) Our brains and behaviors are products of evolution not fully under our control
2) Life involves tragedy and suffering that people do their best to deal with
3) Compassion is rooted in understanding our shared human experience of suffering

The document discusses the nature of human beings and happiness. It argues that humans are a combination of body and mind. Happiness is our purpose in life as it gives us hope to survive. True happiness comes from living according to universal moral ethics of compassion for others, which transforms the mind from negative to positive states and brings benefits rather than suffering. The key is developing conviction in interdependence and practicing compassion through qualities like kindness, care, and forgiveness.
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.
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.
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.
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
This document discusses emotions and positive emotions from a scientific perspective. It begins by defining emotions and exploring their biological basis in the brain and body. Specific brain regions involved in emotional processing are described, including the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate, insula, and ventral striatum. The biology of emotions and how hormones like oxytocin and neurotransmitters impact positive emotions are covered. Positive emotions are shown to have evolutionary advantages and impact health by strengthening the immune system and aiding coping. Further research opportunities are noted in exploring the brain mechanisms linking positive psychological states to behavior using techniques like MRI.
Emotions are complex psychological phenomena that involve physiological, cognitive, and behavioral components. They evolved to help humans and animals respond to important events. There are several theories about the relationship between the cognitive, physiological, and experiential aspects of emotions. Basic emotions include happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust, which can combine to form more complex emotions. The brain regions involved in emotional processing and regulation include the prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. Emotions are influenced by factors such as genetics, cognition, memory, external stimuli, health, circadian rhythms, and meditation practices. People can control their emotions through techniques like controlled breathing, reframing thoughts,
The document provides an overview of sociology of emotions. It discusses how emotions are studied on both the micro and macro levels in sociology. It also gives examples of how modern institutions like marriage and science shape and regulate emotions. The rest of the document discusses what emotions are, their traits, components, theories of emotion, and significance in daily life, decision making, and Islam.
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.

This document discusses emotions, stress, and health. It begins by explaining the components of emotions including bodily arousal, expressive behavior, and conscious experience. It then discusses various theories about the relationship between cognition and emotion. The document also covers detecting and communicating emotions as well as cultural and gender differences. Specific emotions like anger and happiness are examined. The second half discusses stress and its relationship to health. It defines stress and explores how people can cope with and reduce stress to promote health.
Emotions are complex psychological phenomena that occur as people live their lives and involve feelings, expressions visible to others, and physiological arousal. Emotions are divided into primary emotions like love, joy, anger, sadness, surprise and fear, and secondary emotions like passion, optimism, irritation, disgust, and shame. Emotions are influenced by factors like personality, culture, weather, stress, age, gender, and environment. The document discusses categories of emotions and provides examples of both positive emotions like hope and confidence, and negative emotions like exhaustion and panic.
This PowerPoint contains the 3 Theories of Emotion explained in a simplified way. The 3 theories were given by:
1. James-Lange;
2. Cannon-Bard; and
3. Schacter-Singer's Two Factor Theory
Emotions play an important role in critical thinking and decision making. Contrary to common misconceptions, emotions and reason are not always in conflict and it is possible to experience both emotion and rational thought. Getting in touch with one's emotions is part of critical thinking as emotional intelligence helps people understand themselves and think critically. Rather than ignoring emotions, it is better to embrace them, identify them, and think critically about how emotions influence decisions.
1. Learning involves relatively permanent changes in behavior that can be influenced by various factors like retention, production, and motivation.
2. There are several theories of learning and personality development including classical conditioning, operant conditioning, cognitive developmental theory, and social learning theory.
3. Abnormal personalities are those that deviate from norms and can cause distress or dysfunction. There are several types of abnormal personalities including antisocial, narcissistic, histrionic, and borderline personality disorders.
This document discusses different states of consciousness and their characteristics. It describes normal waking consciousness as having characteristics like selective attention, logical thought processes, awareness of time and the external world. The document also discusses how states like sleep, meditation, hypnosis and drug use can alter characteristics of consciousness like cognition, perception, emotion and self-control.

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.

The document discusses strategies for managing anxiety, including cognitive behavioral techniques. It explains that anxiety arises from worrying thoughts about potential threats and stresses the mind and body over long periods. Effective coping methods include challenging negative thought patterns, focusing on the present moment, using distraction, and engaging the five senses through soothing activities. The overall message is that anxiety can be reduced by shifting one's mindset and behaviors.
1. The document discusses three central aspects of emotion: biological, cognitive, and social-cultural.
2. Biologically, emotions are influenced by the autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, neural circuits, facial feedback, and rate of neural firing. Cognitively, emotions involve appraisals, knowledge, attributions, and socialization history.
3. Socially and culturally, emotions are shaped by how other people and cultures instruct us about the causes of emotions, how emotions should be expressed, and when emotions should be controlled.
The book shares the scope of dianetics, how dianetics can bring a person from hopeless state to hopeful state with optimum life, how negative experiences are stored and how they affect us without us knowing it. Dianetics suggests some techniques which enables us to locate these hidden occurrences and restoring them to our full awareness as memories, freeing us from negative effects. The book describes the procedure as therapy to clear our mind from negative thoughts and for this, we need to understand mind and life itself. For example how mind stores information? What is the impact of stored thoughts on our lives? What is called survival and how it effects on us?
The document defines emotions, feelings, and moods. It discusses three interconnected processes: perception, cognition, and emotion. It also outlines three levels of emotional reaction and how emotions arise from an event through physiological response and cognitive interpretation. The document provides information on becoming aware of feelings, naming feelings, and expressing feelings in a respectful manner.
The human brain is one of the most complicated objects in the universe. Although it weighs less than 3 pounds, it manages everything from our heart rates to our thoughts and feelings. The functions of the brain are varied, and include: thinking, perception (sensing), emotion, signaling, and many of our physical functions. Our cognition, feelings and behavior are all the result of our brains.
This chapter discusses theories of personality from a psychoanalytic perspective and a humanistic perspective. It covers Freud's psychoanalytic concepts including the id, ego, and superego; psychosexual stages of development; defense mechanisms; and assessment of the unconscious using projective tests. It also discusses humanistic theories of personality including Maslow's concept of self-actualization and Rogers' concepts of unconditional positive regard and the self-concept. Additionally, it covers the trait perspective and use of personality inventories such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
This document provides an overview of presence training, which aims to help people master their mind and remain fully present. It discusses how the mind and body are connected, and how fragmented attention reduces intelligence. The seven principles of mind mastery are outlined, including being present in the moment, self-observation, listening, letting go of the past, expecting the unexpected, remembering the self, and surrendering to what is. Presence training is said to improve focus, effectiveness, creativity, productivity, communication and reduce stress.
This document summarizes a webinar on the treatment of obsessive-compulsive symptoms using exposure and response prevention therapy. It begins by differentiating normal and abnormal anxiety, then discusses functional assessment of anxiety which involves understanding fear cues, misperceptions, safety behaviors, and feared consequences. Exposure therapy is described as involving prolonged, graduated exposure to fear cues while preventing safety behaviors. Response prevention refers to refraining from rituals meant to reduce anxiety. The effectiveness of this approach is supported by randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses.
The document discusses various perspectives on memory, thinking, consciousness and human psychology. It includes:
1) Diagrams of spiritual and indigenous concepts of the flow of thinking, feeling and intuition.
2) A diagram by Carl Jung showing how thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition relate to the enduring self, soul, and physical body.
3) A diagram by Rudolf Steiner showing formative and inspirational body streams connecting to senses, physical body, and soul.
4) Short summaries of different approaches in psychology such as behaviorism, neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and more.
The document discusses the relationship between emotional states, stress, and physical health. It finds that negative emotional states like stress are associated with weaker immune function and poorer health, while positive states like happiness boost immune response. Emotions influence health through effects on things like coping strategies, social support systems, and immune cells. The mind and body closely interact, with each able to influence the other. Maintaining optimism, laughter, and strong social connections can support wellness.
This document provides information about the concept of "soul care" and mindfulness. It defines soul care as caring for one's deep inner self and discusses how mindfulness can help reduce stress through paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way. The document then discusses why struggling against thoughts and emotions does not work and introduces three mindfulness practices - mindful breathing, mindful eating of a raisin, and bringing awareness to routine activities. It encourages practicing these skills daily to improve life satisfaction.
1) The document discusses how to reprogram the emotional brain's "survival response" through two steps.
2) The first step is to become comfortable with discomfort by examining uncomfortable emotions and reprogramming the survival instinct.
3) The second step is to examine one's beliefs by journaling behavior, listening to inner thoughts, and identifying beliefs behind actions, especially in situations that trigger emotions like fear.
The document discusses how to open up emotionally through inner awareness and acceptance. It states that we must face our hidden feelings and stand naked emotionally to heal. When we open up, we may experience shock, fragmentation, being disconnected from our bodies, and internalized repression. The healing process involves deeply feeling emotions, sounds, physical sensations and switching between body parts. Challenges include loss of control and psychosis, but practicing emotional release daily can help overcome fears and heal traumatic experiences held in the body.
Mindfulness is paying attention to one's present experiences without judgment. It involves focusing on the present moment, such as the breath, without getting caught up in thoughts or emotions. Mindfulness meditation is designed to strengthen mindfulness by focusing on bodily sensations like breathing. Research shows meditation reduces stress and improves focus and emotional regulation. Emotional intelligence involves perceiving, understanding, and managing emotions. Mindfulness enhances emotional intelligence by improving awareness of feelings, understanding how schemas amplify emotions, and regulating reactions through openness and wisdom. Neuroscience suggests meditation balances brain hemispheres and increases communication between rational and emotional centers for optimal emotional functioning. Increasing mindfulness through meditation can thus increase emotional intelligence.
'Achieving with stress' seeks to give the audience the perspective that stress can be good (eustress) and bad (distress). The presentation gives an overall view of how distress (and our stressors) affect us, and how to we can choose to control outcomes from stressful situations.
Mind Control is required to be a Successful
and Happy person.Inside out Method will have control over yourself and the world will be at right place for you.
Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality consists of the id, ego, and superego. The id operates based on the pleasure principle and seeks to satisfy basic desires, the ego mediates between the id and reality, and the superego incorporates societal morals. The three structures are often in conflict, creating anxiety, which the ego defends against using mechanisms like repression, rationalization, and displacement. Defense mechanisms distort reality to reduce anxiety from conflicts between the id, ego, and superego.
1) Emotional intelligence involves managing one's emotions so they don't control you and can be improved through practices like self-observation and cognitive restructuring.
2) Cognitive therapy believes that changing one's thoughts can change feelings and actions, and cognitive restructuring analyzes one's interpretations of events.
3) Experts describe five major components of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, empathy, and relationship management.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

what is actually happening..now.

dissolve & truth to be seen
