CHAPTER

Mindfulness and the Brain: Unlocking Emotional Potential

This chapter explores the intersection of mindfulness meditation and neuroimaging, focusing on the brain's default mode network (DMN) and its role in emotional regulation. The speakers share insights on how the DMN can trap individuals in unproductive thought patterns, contrasting states of languishing and flourishing, and emphasize the importance of creative cognitive flexibility. They also propose accessible mindfulness practices that engage sensory experiences, making meditation more approachable for the general public.
