Mindfulness Meditation: Straight-Forward Intro

Mindfulness Meditation is training your attention to see things as they are, moment by moment. The practice can have many benefits, including stress reduction and health improvements.


We often take our thoughts too seriously causing us to mistake our ideas for the real world. Mindfulness meditation can help you break free from those cycles and gain a new vantage point. When combined with Insight Meditation (Vipassana), it can help you learn more about how your mind works. With practice and training you can actually begin to reprogram your brain!

Do you get worked up over small details? Do you find yourself overreacting to situations at work or at home? Are you living in a difficult situation and need some peace of mind? Mindfulness meditation practice can be an important part of dealing with those situations.

We have made a video going over the basics of meditation, based on the traditions taught in Thailand and through-out Asia. It teaches what you need to get set up and gives you instructions to set you on your way meditating!  So, sit back, and join us in mindfulness meditation.

Meditation Retreats in Thailand

Several temples in Thailand offer meditation treats of 10-21 days. During these retreats you usually stay in a dormitory on the temple grounds and practice silent meditation for 16-18 hours per day. Once per day you can meet with the teacher who will give you personal instruction about your practice.

If you like to go on a tour of an amazing temple, you can check out this video from Wat Inpeng Temple, in Laos!

 

Neurons, mutations and gene expression

Neurons are likely to contain more mutations than surrounding cells.

“We found that the genes that the brain uses most of all are the genes that are most fragile and most likely to be mutated.”

“We expected these mutations to look like cancer mutations,” Walsh says, explaining that cancer mutations tend to arise when DNA is imperfectly copied in preparation for cell division, “but in fact they have a unique signature all their own. The mutations that occur in the brain mostly seem to occur when the cells are expressing their genes.”
