I just had to share this remarkable video from the team at Mind Movies, featuring an interview with Dr Carol Kershaw and Dr Bill Wade, co-authors of the book – 'Brain Change Therapy: Clinical Interventions for Self Transformation'.
Interviewed by Natalie Ledwell, Dr Kershaw and Dr Wade – an esteemed clinical psychologist and and an equally highly-regarded licensed professional counsellor, respectively – talk about their research into techniques such as mediation, EFT and visualization, and how they can help to bring about positive change.
Among the subjects covered are the brain's continued development throughout life, our ability to control our physical systems using our mind, how our mental state affects our attitudes, emotions, behaviour and so on, plus chemical and electrical activity in the brain and how this influences our emotional state.
They also explain how unhelpful thinking patterns can be actively corrected through training and practice – in a similar way to improving a bad golf swing, for example – and how this translates down to a neurological level, changing the brain's neural activity, as well as its size and functioning.
This is absolutely fascinating stuff and a must-see, especially if you've ever doubted the efficacy of practices such as meditation and found yourself in need of scientific reasoning and research to back them up. Just click on the link below to be taken to the video.
