Becoming More Mentally Present Through Mindfulness and Neurofeedback
The speaker discusses how difficult it is to stay fully mentally present and describes becoming more grounded on a four-mile run by turning off podcasts and music and intentionally engaging the senses—observing trees and a butterfly, feeling wind, noticing smells, touch, and taste. They then share a personal experiment with neurofeedback through Mind Lift (M-Y-N-D-L-I-F-T), clarifying they are not compensated, and explain the headband-and-electrode training that uses audio/visual feedback (a crackling fire) to encourage desired brainwave patterns. They report struggling with anxiety and an overactive alpha wave, compare rumination to "50 people in the shower," and note possible early benefits after a couple weeks, including less chest tightness and feeling more present and less drained at a social event. As a therapist, they emphasize the value of presence and plan to continue neurofeedback for 3–6 months with coaching and updates at lovehowdeep.com.
