#69: Rewire Your Mind: Neuroplasticity & Spirituality

All of us have the power and choice to re-architect the structure of our brain to be healthier, happier and of greater service. Discussed in this fascinating interview episode with award winning author & TED Talk speaker, Shauna Shapiro, are the differences between meditation and mindfulness, empathy and compassion, and how to leverage all of these concepts into our day-to-day lives. To embody practices, we have to understand them and science helps us with this.

You will learn in this episode:

• How what you practice grows
• Why your attention is your greatest currency 
• How the understanding of neuroplasticity in science has changed everything
• How mindfulness and meditative practices positively impact every sector of your life
• The difference between meditation and mindfulness (because they are different!)
• How these practices make you a better citizen and family member
• Why compassion is more advantageous than empathy 
• Why compassion for yourself is crucial 

🧘🏽Listen in, fellow seeker, as this episode ends with a lovely meditation that will leave you feeling more connected.
