Attention & Interpretation Therapy (AIT): Adapted from: Trin Your Brain...Engage Your Heart...Transform Your Life: A Course in Attention & Interpretation Therapy (AIT)

This is a personal workbook for the course in Attention and Interpretation Therapy and also for the Train Your Brain...Engage Your Heart...Transform Your Life program. Have you ever wondered if there is a way to integrate science and spirituality to nurture a healthier brain, and abiding peace and joy? Is there a universal language of happiness and suffering? How can we overcome the limitations of attention deficit, negative ruminations and fear? Are peace, joy, resilience, and altruism hardwired within us, and if so, why do they play hide and seek with us and are not so easily accessible? Scientists and mystics have been asking these questions for a very long time. In his book, Train Your Brain....Engage Your Heart....Transform Your Life, physician and integrative medicine expert Dr. Amit Sood answers these and many other questions. Dr. Sood synthesizes concepts from neurosciences, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality to offer a practical, hands-on approach to cultivate a healthier brain. By training our attention and refining interpretations, by nurturing gratitude, compassion, acceptance, forgiveness, and higher meaning and purpose, and by developing deeper relationships, better self care, meditation, and prayer, we can cultivate the level of objectivity required to successfully cope with daily obstacles like stress and illness. The skills train your brain's higher center to help you decrease the negative ruminations of the mind and enhance its engagement with the present moment and its contents. The skills also engage your heart to fill the present moment with greater joy. This book is not a one way dialog but offers an interactive experience using concepts and exercises many of which have been tested in research studies. The book offers a complete program toward enhancing present moment awareness and embodying greater gratitude, compassion, acceptance, forgiveness, and higher meaning and purpose-a state of Heartfulness.
