Buddhist Meditation: What brain science reveals
Karolynn Flynn will present an introduction to the pioneering work of Dr. Dan Siegel, the Mindsight Institute, and the insights known as Mindsight. Karolynn is in her third year of study with that Institute.
This is basically the science behind how mindfulness integrates the brain, which leads to well-being, resilience, kindness and compassion. Through this lens, kindness and compassion are seen as integration made visible. Integration of the brain creates well-being, health. Lack of integration leads to chaos, rigidity, or both--impaired health, compromised well-being.
Mindsight is at the core of the field of Interpersonal Neural Biology, which illuminates the science of how our brains are wired by relationships and experience and how we can apply this science to create more well-being within ourselves and between and among others nothing short of the evolution of a kinder, more loving world.
This work embraces the wisdom traditions, subjective experience, the power of the arts as valid partners to the scientific approach, and thus merges the quantitative and the qualitative.
If this all sounds like chilly cold science babble, nothing could be farther from what this work is about. It's powerful, well-researched, practical, and totally accessible.
Karolynn Flynn is a member of Cedars UU Church, and is a long-time meditator. For the past 3 years, she has been a student at the Mindsight Institute. That Institute has worked to build a scientific understanding of the mind, to reduce suffering and promote well-being.
Karolynn will be supported in this two-hour program by retired professor of comparative religion Alan Miller and Channie Peters.
The session takes place at the Vineyard Lane community room, Winslow, Bainbridge Island.
