22.01.2022 First teaser of our upcoming #Neuroscience of Meditation for Bushfire Relief event - next week. To join us, see the link below. Default mode chill.... . But.....not really because my default is anything but chill. However, we do all have a relative, sort of default chill mode in our brain, called the Default Mode Network (DMN) which has opened up some very promising clinical therapies for maintaining mental well-being and treating mental illness . .... The DMN is a link between anatomical regions, covering psychological processes like; envisioning the future, self-reflection, rumination, mind wandering, pondering others perspectives and autobiographical memory (Simon & Engstorm, 2015). . The DMN’s main nodes of activity include the; medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), anterior and posterior cingulate cortex (ACC, PCC), precuneus (PCU), interior parietal cortex (IPC) and lateral temporary cortex. These primary connected areas showcase function connection and fluctuations during the above-mentioned states (Harrison et al., 2008). . Recently, the DMN has been used as a biomarker (identifier) for measuring neurological changes of meditative effects. As the DMN has anti-synchronic activity to task-positive networks (TPN) which are critical to executive functioning, the regulation of DMN can be employed as a neuroprotection measure to help reduce cognitive decline, more effectively manage mental states and reduce stress and anxiety (Ramirez-Barrantes et.,al 2019). . Meditation and mindfulness based practices really do significantly alter cognitive functions in overwhelming positive ways. These ancient Buddhist teachings, are increasingly gaining scientific and psychological traction. .

15.01.2022 Festive Boundaries! . Today I really had to reinforce some boundaries some people who were seriously wanting to cross them. . They weren’t being mean, malicious or even meaning to cross my boundaries or encroach on my freedom but they were definitely getting close to that line! They were actually coming from what they believed was a good place but they were draining me of energy, consuming a lot of my time and pushing on my patience and thereby stress levels.... . Boundaries, as the incredible @daniellelaporte says are fences for your freedom - and I love this. When you put up boundaries you are protecting yourself, navigating your stress levels and ensuring you respect you (and ultimately) the other person. Boundaries are super loving spaces between you and others. There is nothing negative or cruel about them. . With the holiday season approaching here are two quick steps to lay your boundaries and protect your freedom. . 1 Protect your time - it’s precious -schedule in decompression time. . Only allocate the time to people you have. If you don’t have the time see everyone in one day - don’t. Your time is precious and it’s better you spend it present with people than checked out thinking of the next thing you have to do. Try as much as you can to give yourself down time in-between social and family times. Use this time to reflect and process on that encounter. If there are triggers, unpack and resolve them. Don’t take them into the next event and conversation. This metacognition is a great neurohack to decompress and short circuit stress that can build up, often without us being aware of it. 2 Only say yes to activities of joy . You don’t have to say yes to everyone. Shock horror - I know! Before you immediately respond to everyone’s invitations, actually think about what you want to do this holiday season and what brings you energy and joy. Say yes to only these things. And the events that don’t bring you joy, avoid or if you can’t schedule in an allocated time that you will perform these obligations, so you have clear end point. . We can’t control others - but we can control us and regulate our choices.

11.01.2022 The #australiabushfires are catastrophic; taking 28 lives, 2000 homes, burning 25.5 million acres and killing 1.25 billion animals. . It has been absolutely heartbreaking watching this disaster unfold, and as we know, it is not yet over. At so many times throughout this horrific situation, we like many others have felt powerless. But while; it might feel that we are helpless - in reality we are not. We are actually STILL despite, this horrible situation - powerful. How do we know this? Watch our CEO Shelley Charnley-Laslett explain. . Vitae.coach will also be doing our part to contribute and support the #bushfirerelief efforts. More to come on this. Also sorry for the extra talent noises, we had a bunch of agreement from the treetops. ;)
