4. Resilience
Our innate human capacity to face, respond, and be transformed by the adversities and circumstances of our life
Enables us to not just survive, but to thrive in our life with…
• Hardiness • Well-being • Security • Stability • Confidence
We just need to know how to
engage and harness resilience…
Hardiness: Our positive capacity to cope with and bounce back from stress and catastrophe
Well-Being: An inner felt-sense of positive wellness that can be dependent or independent of circumstances
Security: Our ability to resist and feel protected from harm
Stability: Our ability to stand and endure when we feel disturbed
Confidence: Our ability to trust in our own reliability, power or ability

7. The challenge…
Our family, cultural, social, and trauma-related experiences can diminish our ability to experience resilient wholeness
As a result…
Our habitual patterns can become like neural cement
Rigid and unable to adapt to changing circumstances

8. The Answer…
Our nervous system is hardwired for experiencing unbreakable resilience
We possess the capacity to nourish our neural circuitry in favor of
Resilient Wholeness and Indestructible Well-Being

9. Neuroscience Default Network (DN) Dorsal Attention Network (DAN)
I-Me-Mine autobiographical separate self
Recursive thinking
Negativity Bias
Dorsal Attention Network (DAN)
Focusing of attention
Planning and encoding coping strategies
Control Network (CN)
Executive control of attention
Switches between DN and DAN
With permission: Brewer, et al. 2011
Bad News:
Research reveals that the Default Network (DN: medial prefrontal cortex & posterior cingulate cortex) regularly highjacks attention, stimulating the brain to wander aimlessly in problematic, recursive, self-referential (I-me-mine and you-yours-they-theirs), often negative thinking and emotions (blah, blah of everyday thinking).
Obsessively thinking/feeling leads to feelings of dissatisfaction and unhappiness (suffering). The brain’s DN holds us hostage in past and future thoughts/emotions, overrides our ability to engage in insightful, creative-oriented thoughts/emotions, and makes us feel unhappy and dissatisfied with the way things are.
DN is implicated in lapses of attention and disorders including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, OCD, ADHD, substance abuse, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia (SD), psychopathy and chronic pain (among others).
Good News:
Research shows that practices of meditation deactivates the DN (mind-wandering, self-referential narrative I-me-mine, negative ways of thinking), increases our ability to remain task focused (CN: Fronto-Parietal), and activates the Present Centered Network (PCN: right frontal-central), which gives rise to creative thinking and insight. Residing in the PCN disrupts the way we hold ourselves in space and time as a separate self, and enables the felt-sense of no-self, and feelings of creativity and happiness to arise.
Long-term meditation transforms the resting-state DN of the brain (mind-wandering, self-referenced, I-me-mine thinking) into the PCN (creative, insightful thinking). Our ability to disengage the DN through meditation, which otherwise gives rise to your unhappiness and increased vulnerability to illness, and engage the PCN, our ability to witness, remain task-focused, and engage creative and insight-oriented thinking, has critical implications for our ability to maintain health, happiness, joy, peace, and well-being.

Research reveals that the Default Network (DN: medial prefrontal cortex & posterior cingulate cortex) regularly highjacks attention, stimulating the brain to wander aimlessly in problematic, recursive, self-referential (I-me-mine), often negative thinking and emotions (blah, blah of everyday thinking). Obsessively thinking/feeling this way makes us feel dissatisfied and unhappy ( we suffer). In other words, the brain’s DN holds us hostage in past and future thoughts/emotions, overrides our ability to engage in insightful, creative-oriented thoughts/emotions, and makes us feel unhappy and dissatisfied with the way things are.
DN has been implicated in lapses of attention and disorders such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, OCD, ADHD, substance abuse, autism, Tourette’s syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia (SD), psychopathy and chronic pain (among others).
Fortunately, research shows that the practices of meditation disengages the DN, by activating the brain’s Present Centered Network (PCN), which gives rise to creative thinking and feeling that’s free of recursive, self-referential, I-me-mine, negative ways of thinking. Residing in our PCN enables us to feel creative and happy!
Meditation deactivates the DN, mind-wandering, and the self-referential narrative, increases our ability to remain task focused, and engage creative insight-oriented thinking.

12. How do we engage and harness this capacity…
Neuroscience
Down Regulate Default Network (DN)
Deactivates mind-wandering, self-reference negative thinking Rewire new effective coping strategies
Blue = decreased activity of DN
With permission: Brewer, et al. 2011
Up Regulate Present Centered Network (PCN)
Access equanimity, infinite possibilities of insight, and our innate unchanging, indestructible, resilient wholeness...
Yellow, orange, red, brown = increased gamma
With permission: Sheth et al. 2008
These two exercises shift you into your PCN, or defocused mind. Here, your DN or thinking mind, which produces your experience of past-present time, space, self, other, and recursive thinking loops, deactivates.
Your mind is no longer held hostage by your DN. With practice, it’s possible for your recursive thing mind to be deactivated, and your creative mind to be your default mode way of being in the world.
Welcome to the wonderful effects of meditation!
Our belief in being a separate self is responsible for our experience of unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and suffering. Our ability to experience no-self uproots our I-me-mine misunderstanding of separation, uproots our sense of suffering, and allows our underlying joy, well-being, and peace of mind to become our standard way of being in the world. Isn’t taking time to meditate on a daily basis worth it! Want to make your life and the world around you a happier and more peaceful place? If so, join me, and the millions of others around the globe for meditation each morning. Let’s all make the shift to the PCN. (Yale, Brewer, 2011)

Witnessing and attention practices thickens insula, anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortex: strengthens the executive center of the brain, promotes focused attention, improves interoception awareness of what’s going on in the body, which increases self-attunement, self-awareness and self-empathy, which allows us to feel seen, heard, connected and a sense of belonging to ourself and the world around us.
We become more present, engaged, confident just by sensing our body and breath
Practices of Breath, sound, extended exhalation: HRV
Executive function governs self-regulation skills: mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully.
working memory: mental flexibility, and self-control. Each skill draws on elements of the others. The successful application of executive function skills requires them to operate in coordination with each other. 
Working memory governs our ability to retain and manipulate distinct pieces of information over short periods of time.
Mental flexibility helps us to sustain and shift attention in response to different demands and to apply different rules in different settings. 
Self-control enables us to set priorities and resist impulsive actions or responses

Unchanging Wholeness & Well-Being, amidst changing circumstances
The nature of all experiences is change: five rites: birth, growth, stability, decay, death. We go from feeling we’re living in a tight breadbox with our emotions, to feeling the spaciousness that awareness provides, no longer trapped and held hostage by any particular experience. Allows curiosity and engagement rather than fusion and contraction.
Focusing attention wires neurons together into stable patterns that develop a strong sense of resiliency within ourselves. Donald Hebb: “Neurons that fire together, wire together.”
The natural function of the brain is to remain open and flexible, and to learn and respond to new circumstances in wholesome ways.
Welcoming opposites and proactively responding activates present-centered network and game; rewiring neurons, strengthen pre-frontal cortex, reinforces conditioning, helps integrate information and wise and resilient decision-making.
Growing our capacity to welcome and respond to emotions and thoughts strengthens resiliency and our ability to cope by being able to remain calm (soothe nervous system), clarity, stay connected and draw on our skills of competency to meet the circumstances that we’re facing so that we feel courageous in the face of adversity (Graham, L., (2013) p.12).
When we face adversity, we can feel alone, anxious and vulnerable. Accepting, proactively engaging and responding to feelings and thoughts develops our resources that contribute to feeling resilient.
SAD (blue, gloomy, sad) MAD (irritable, angry, furious) BAD (guilty, anxious, fearful) GLAD (happy, joyous, peaceful, content)
