In “Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain,” the author utilizes her education and research about the brain, and her own personal experiences with meditation to share her knowledge with us.  In addition to discussing the scientific perspectives involving brain-mind functioning, she also adds her own personal reflections about her extensive experiences with meditation. She tells us, “The more you change your mind, the more you change your brain. The more your brain changes, the more your mind evolves.”  The brain can evolve and adapt.  This has already been proven in the history of our own evolution.

The author notes that we are in a time where we are experiencing extreme stress.  This stress can cause a negative impact on our quality of life and our health.  While we are going through these tough times, it is very important that we learn how to train our minds so that we can release ourselves from stress to become more creative, happy and at peace.  Training our mind to overcome our fears will play a huge role in this process.  “When all brain waves are in synchronicity, your attitude is constantly positive.” 

The book is divided into two sections. Part I discusses “The Brain’s Story.”  Part II covers “Meditation as Mind Technology.”  At the end of the book is an extensive bibliography.  I was also really excited to see a list of CDs or MP3 downloads that are available to help with the meditations. 

I don’t really know how to meditate.  I have tried it on my own and here and there at functions.  The best way for me to relax myself has always been to exhaust myself physically.  Well I am pretty tired.  It was really exciting for me to read “Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain,” because everything that I need to know on how to meditate is explained to me and I also have a better understanding of how my brain works.  This includes both the rhythms and the chemicals of the brain.  I really think that the CDs can assist me in this process.  By reading this book, Patt Lind-Kyle has really stimulated my interest in the mind-brain connection, and how I can use it to relax my thoughts.  I highly recommend reading “Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain!”
