Healing the Divide is about reconnecting us to our divine essence. We reconnect to our essence when we begin to see the ways in which we separate ourselves from others through judgment and blame, anger and fear, abuse and neglect, and disconnection of all kinds. The ways in which we are separate from others mirror the ways in which we are divided and separate from ourselves and our essence. And, what may help in learning about the neuroscience of relationships at a deeper level; of how we become divided.

The Neuroscience of Blindspots
As coaches, we are always creating awareness in our clients. While all the ICF Core Competencies are important, creating awareness is perhaps the most central competency to coaching.
Our clients hire us because they want something to change, about themselves, their lives, their careers, their leadership, and/or their relationships. If they could change it themselves, they would. And often our clients can’t change what they are wanting to change because they can’t see what’s getting in their way.
Our clients typically can’t see what’s getting in the way of their change. The obstacle to their growth is so ingrained, so conflated with the frame and lens through which they see others, themselves and the world, that they can’t see it. It’s in their blindspot.
Here, we cover the neuroscience of blindspots - how are they formed? Where do they come from?
NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS is made up of the brain and spinal cord, which act as the body's control center coordinating all activities. The PNS carries messages between the CNS and the rest of the body through nerves. The brain is divided into four main parts - the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brain stem - each controlling different functions like reasoning, emotions, movement coordination, and vital functions.
Ppt how our mind works
The document discusses how the brain works, providing details about its structure and functions. It notes that the brain weighs around 3 pounds, is made up of 78% water, and is divided into left and right hemispheres that perform different roles. It controls vital body functions like temperature, breathing, movement, thinking and emotions. Specific areas of the brain are responsible for vision, hearing, language and planning/organizing. The frontal lobes help control emotions. In total, the brain is a highly complex organ that regulates all conscious and unconscious aspects of life through the central nervous system.
Neoroscience
The document discusses the connection between the mind and body, explaining that neurons transmit biochemical information via neurotransmitters across synapses in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It outlines the major parts of the brain and nervous system involved in functions like cognition, emotion, memory, movement, homeostasis, and sensory processing.
Biological Basis of Behavior
The document discusses the biological basis of behavior and the human brain. It covers several key points:
1. Heredity and evolution influence human physical and mental characteristics. The brain is programmed for language and social skills at birth.
2. The brain consists of three main layers - the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain. The hindbrain includes the medulla, cerebellum, and pons and controls vital functions like breathing.
3. The limbic system, which includes the amygdala and hippocampus, is responsible for emotions and forming memories. The amygdala handles emotional responses while the hippocampus aids memory formation.
Brain and Its Functions- Part 2
This presenation is part of four series presentation to help everyone to understand the functioning of brain. Some of the questions is can brain be changed?
The brain
The document discusses the main parts of the brain - the cerebellum, which controls motor activity and balance; the cerebrum, which controls muscle movement, balance and coordination and makes up 85% of the brain; the cortex, which covers the cerebrum and controls thinking, reasoning, judging and voluntary movement; and the brainstem, which controls respiration, pulse, sleep/wake cycles, concentration and attention, and consciousness. It also provides some fun facts about the brain, such as that the average brain weighs 3 lbs, skin weighs twice as much as the brain, the brain is 75% water, and is made up of 60% white matter and 40% grey matter.

Mind Brain and Thoughts
This document discusses the relationship between the mind and brain. It begins by questioning what thoughts are and notes that while we think continually, we don't fully understand thoughts. It then discusses how we can intervene in the world, body, and mind, with the mind being the domain we have the most influence over. The document goes on to provide information about brain basics like neuron structure and brain connectivity. It discusses how the mind and brain are interrelated systems and how both the brain and mind can influence each other through processes like neuroplasticity. The key points made are that as the brain changes, the mind changes; as the mind changes, the brain changes; and we can use our mind to intentionally change our brain for the better
Superhuman
This document provides background information on emotions, feelings, and moods. It discusses how the brain, nervous system, endocrine system, and other body systems interact to produce various emotional states. Emotions are defined as goal-oriented feelings directly regulated by the brain to achieve goals in interactions with the environment. Feelings are described as involuntary endocrine responses to stimuli that trigger changes in mood and emotion. Moods are influenced by hormones from the entire body and endocrine system and can dampen emotions and feelings over time. The document presents diagrams illustrating these concepts and the interrelationships between various biological and psychological factors that shape emotional experiences.
Brain
The document discusses the influence of the brain on human development and behavior. It notes that the human brain is larger and more developed than our ancestors, allowing for increased cognitive abilities. Key points include:
- The human brain continues developing into our 20s, influencing behaviors like risk-taking in adolescence.
- Brain development occurs in an underdeveloped state in humans, allowing us to adapt to various environments.
- The brain can be divided into the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, with the forebrain responsible for higher cognitive functions.
- The cerebrum is divided into left and right hemispheres that process information differently.
Central Nervous System.pptx
The document contains the opening and closing prayers for a science class, as well as the content that was covered during the class. The class covered the parts and functions of the nervous system, including:
- The central nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord.
- The brain can be divided into sections like the brainstem, thalamus, cerebellum, and limbic system.
- The spinal cord acts as a connector between the brain and body and transmits sensory and motor signals.
- Damage to the spinal cord can result in loss of movement or sensation below the injury depending on its severity.
Natural Contentment And Brain Evolution - Rick Hanson, PhD
With the power of modern neuroscience, informed by ancient contemplative wisdom, you can use your mind alone to change your brain for the better. Self-directed neuroplasticity involves steadying the mind (key to both worldly success and spiritual practice), cooling the fires of stress reactivity, weaving positive experiences into the fabric of your brain and self, and taking life less personally.

The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system processes information from the senses and controls and coordinates the body's activities, while the peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the limbs and organs. Key components include neurons, which transmit signals; the brain, which controls the body's responses; and the spinal cord, which connects the brain to the rest of the body. The nervous system allows for voluntary and involuntary responses through reflex arcs that transmit signals from sensors to effectors.
Layers and Lobes
The document summarizes the different layers of the brain from the brain stem up. It discusses how each layer develops and its main functions. The brain stem and midbrain develop first and are responsible for automatic functions like breathing and heart rate. The cerebellum develops next and controls movement coordination. The limbic system processes emotions. The cortex, which develops last, is responsible for higher level thinking. The cortex is divided into specialized lobes with different functions.

The document summarizes the different layers of the brain from the brain stem up. It discusses how each layer develops and its main functions. The brain stem and midbrain develop first and are responsible for automatic functions like breathing and heart rate. The limbic system processes emotions. The cortex, which develops last, is responsible for higher level thinking, decision making, creativity, and other uniquely human functions. Each layer builds upon the ones below it and they work together in a coordinated way.
Review of structure
The document discusses the structure and function of the brain and limbic system, and abnormal neurotransmission as it relates to psychopathology of mental disorders. It provides details on the central nervous system including the forebrain structures of thalamus, hypothalamus and limbic system. It also describes the peripheral nervous system, neurons, neurotransmission, neurotransmitters, hormones and their implications for mental illnesses. Key points are made about neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and GABA being important in conceptualizing disorders like depression, schizophrenia and anxiety respectively.
Lecture chapter 38 - nervous system
This document provides an overview of the nervous system and senses. It discusses the basic structure and function of neurons, how they generate and transmit action potentials, and how neurons communicate at synapses. It describes the central and peripheral nervous systems, including different divisions like the somatic, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems. The document also examines the specialized structures and functions of the brain and spinal cord, as well as basic models of memory and sensory processing. Finally, it explores the different human senses and phenomena like synesthesia.
CLASSIFICATION OF NERVOUS SYSTEM & COMPONENTS
he nervous system is a network of neurons whose main feature is to generate, modulate and transmit information between all the different parts of the human body. This property enables many important functions of the nervous system, such as regulation of vital body functions (heartbeat, breathing, digestion), sensation and body movements. Ultimately, the nervous system structures preside over everything that makes us human; our consciousness, cognition, behaviour and memories.
The nervous system consists of two divisions;
Central nervous system (CNS) is the integration and command center of the body
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) represents the conduit between the CNS and the body. It is further subdivided into the somatic nervous system (SNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Cells of the nervous system
Two basic types of cells are present in the nervous system;
Neurons
Glial cellsCells of the nervous system
Two basic types of cells are present in the nervous system;
Neurons
Glial cells
The site where an axon connects to another cell to pass the neural impulse is called a synapse. The synapse doesn't connect to the next cell directly. Instead, the impulse triggers the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters from the very end of an axon. These neurotransmitters bind to the effector cell’s membrane, causing biochemical events to occur within that cell according to the orders sent by the CNS.
There are two types of neurons, named according to whether they send an electrical signal towards or away from the CNS;
Efferent neurons (motor or descending) send neural impulses from the CNS to the peripheral tissues, instructing them how to function.
Afferent neurons (sensory or ascending) conduct impulses from the peripheral tissues to the CNS. These impulses contain sensory information, describing the tissue's environment.Glial cells

Synonyms: Neuroglia
Glial cells, also called neuroglia or simply glia, are smaller non-excitatory cells that act to support neurons. They do not propagate action potentials. Instead, they myelinate neurons, maintain homeostatic balance, provide structural support, protection and nutrition for neurons throughout the nervous system.
This set of functions is provided for by four different types of glial cells;
Myelinating glia produce the axon-insulating myelin sheath. These are called oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS. Remember these easily with the mnemonic "COPS" (Central - Oligodendrocytes; Peripheral - Schwann)
Astrocytes (CNS) and satellite glial cells (PNS) both share the function of supporting and protecting neurons.
Other two glial cell types are found in CNS exclusively; microglia are the phagocytes of the CNS and ependymal cells which line the ventricular system of the CNS. The PNS doesn’t have a glial equivalent to microglia as the phagocytic role is performed by macrophages.
Nervous system
The nervous system is the body's main communication system; it gathers, synthesizes, and uses data from the environment. The most basic unit of the nervous system is the neuron, which serves as both a sensor and communicator of internal and external stimuli.
Neuroscience and meditation
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
Peripheral Nervous System
The nervous system comprises the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system. The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, which control the mind and behavior. The peripheral nervous system has two divisions - the autonomic nervous system which regulates involuntary functions, and the somatic nervous system which controls voluntary skeletal muscle movement. Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, sending and receiving electrochemical signals that allow for sensory input, integration of information, and motor output.
Berger Ls 7e Ch 5
The document discusses physical, cognitive, and motor development in infants and toddlers over the first two years of life. It covers rapid growth and changes in body size, brain development including neuron and synapse formation, sleep patterns, sensory and motor development including reflexes and motor skills, and the role of nutrition and public health measures in child development.
Sensitivity and Coordination by Alex
The document summarizes the human sensory system. It describes the five senses and their corresponding sensory organs - eyes (sight), nose (smell), tongue (taste), ears (hearing), and skin (touch). It then explains how stimuli are received by receptors, transmitted as nerve impulses to the brain along sensory nerves, and how the brain coordinates muscular and glandular responses.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

Stealth attraction for mens gets her with your words
My article gives a set of techniques used by men to subtly and effectively attract women without overtly displaying their intentions. It involves using non-verbal cues, body language, and subtle psychological tactics to create intrigue and build attraction. The goal is to appear confident, mysterious, and charismatic while maintaining an air of mystery that piques the interest of the person you are trying to attract. This approach emphasizes subtlety and finesse in communication and interaction to create a powerful and lasting impression.

The Neuroscience of How We Become Divided
- 1. The Neuroscience of How We Become Divided
- 2. We are born into a physical form, with brains that are wired to survive.
- 3. Because all our earliest experiences are mediated through our relationships …
- 4. We literally shape ourselves… To fit within our relationships
- 5. At Birth, Our Brains are Undeveloped and Open Source • At birth, only lower portions of the nervous system (spinal cord and brain stem) are well-developed • Responsible for vital bodily functions (breathing, heartbeat, circulation, sleeping, swallowing, sucking) • Higher regions (cerebellum, limbic system, cerebral cortex) are still primitive. • Brain develops bottom up, making it highly adaptable. Source: Psychological Wiki
- 6. Our Brains Are Shaped By Our Genes + Our Experiences • While our genes provide the blueprint, our environment, experiences and relationships carry out construction. • Neurons and synapses form the wiring of the brain. • Our environment, experiences and relationships strongly influence the synaptic “blooming and pruning” process.
- 8. Our Brains Store Experiences “We Know But Don’t Remember” • Limbic system processes and stores emotional experiences before we have language and memory skills to access them. • The memory we do have is “implicit memory” • Due to “Infantile Amnesia”, we have little explicit memory of our early shaping.
- 9. Our Memories Shape Our Experience Implicit Memories • Sensory, emotional, procedural memories and stimulus- response conditioning • Social memories - Attachment schemas • Habitual emotional responses to social situations Explicit Memories (form later) • Recognizing and remembering faces, etiquette, language, stories • Important for emotional regulation and identity
- 10. Our Implicit Memories Shape our sense of self, others, the world, and relationships……. In ways we “know and don’t remember”
- 11. We become divided from our essence • We have no explicit memory of how we came into the world • We got busy adapting/shaping ourselves to fit the environment and relationships around us • We shaped ourselves in ways we “know and don’t remember”
