Remove Negativity from Your Life and Start Focusing on the Positive
The goal of this course is to teach you how to control your brain’s reaction to life.

Rather than responding to situations with heartache, frustration, and fear, you’ll return your brain to its natural state of caring, contentment, and calm.

You’ll also access tools that you can use every day, particularly guided meditations, that will not only bring about calmness and focus, but also improve your concentration.

Contents and Overview
After a brief introduction, you’ll dive right into self-directed neuroplasticity to discover that the brain actually continues to develop throughout life.

You’ll learn how the brain functions, what experts have learned about the effects of behaviors on the brain, and how you can engineer your own brain so it’s more aligned with who you want to be.

Then you’ll tap into the importance of mindfulness, virtue, and wisdom, which are the three pillars of practice in Buddhism.

You’ll immediately apply these concepts with guided meditations that stimulate your brain’s potential for growth.

As you move deeper into the course, you’ll explore the evolution of the brain, and you’ll learn how to counteract the “negativity bias” that it developed in order to protect you from danger.

Through several guided practices, you’ll maximize your brain’s ability to accurately assess levels of threat and overcome the negativity bias.

You’ll deepen your responsiveness to what’s good in life and start using positive experiences to heal old pain.

Finally, you’ll uncover how meditation and concentration techniques can change your brain, and you’ll experience it first-hand through guided practices that will steady the mind and help you be satisfied with less.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a toolbox of meditations that you can use daily to help your brain release negativity and embrace the positive.

You’ll know how to integrate the best of Buddhist teachings and modern science into your life so you can transform your mind, be less afraid, and find peace and happiness
