Children live in a realm of direct experience, engaged with their senses and absorbed in events as they occur. But as adults, we ve come to depend on our acquired skills of language, logic, and familiar thinking strategies to get things done and get through our days.
For decades, innovative neuroscience educator Dee Joy Coulter has been treasure-hunting for fresh insights into learning that we can actually use to transform the way we perceive, think, feel, and learn. Original Mindguides us into her expansive vision for unfolding our natural brilliance. Applying the findings of scientists, artists, and cultures across the globe and illuminated with stories and hands-on practices from her own work readers will explore:
How to see, listen, feel, and taste again with childlike wonder
The oral tradition reclaiming the cognitive power of storytelling and metaphor
Problem-solving and learning at the deepest levels
Empty mind the art of rejuvenation as taught by the Buddha, composers and artists, and children across the globe
Boredom, Complexity, Ambiguity, Permeability, and Novelty
five tolerances essential to fulfillment
Surfing the edges of inner chaos the theta-gamma states of
inspired genius, and many other topics
Readers both new and well-versed in brain training, meditation, and stress reduction will find here a wealth of inspiration to amplify the richness of their perceptions, intuition, creativity, emotional balance and the untapped wonder hidden within each moment of our lives.
