In this solo episode, host Dr. Dawson Church brings three important pieces to listeners who are looking to find more resilience in the midst of global (and personal) chaos.   Spiritual Intelligence and Emotional Regulation Dawson discusses his book "Spiritual Intelligence" and its focus on developing emotional regulation and spiritual intelligence as a progression beyond IQ and emotional intelligence. He explained how the ventromedial prefrontal cortex can be developed to better regulate negative emotions, using examples of both highly intelligent people struggling with emotional control and how meditation can strengthen this brain circuit. Dawson also addressed how global issues like climate change and political concerns are triggering increased depression and despair, particularly among young people.   Eco-Meditation and Brain Function Dawson talks about the importance of maintaining positivity in the face of global challenges and emphasizes the need for resilience. He explained how stress affects brain function and recommended practicing EcoMeditation for 30 days to see measurable changes in brain function, including increased presence and compassion.    Daily Meditation Benefits Discussion Dawson shares the benefits of daily meditation. He explained how meditation can shift brain function and change one's perspective on global challenges, allowing individuals to see both negative and positive events from a resilient standpoint.   To connect with Dr. Dawson Church: http://dawsongift.com/   To purchase Dawson's book, Spiritual Intelligence:  https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Intelligence-Activating-Circuits-Awakened/dp/160415294X/   #mindtomatter #blissbrain #spiritualintelligence #eft #meditation #highenergyhealth #energy #emotionalregulation #ecomeditation #brainfunction
