Barry Boyce, for the Shambhala Sun : What are some of the benefits of mindfulness –both the practice and the state of mind– for our health and healing?
Interview with Daniel J. Siegel, M.D.
Daniel Siegel has accomplished a feat that no brain scientist has before or since: A working definition that answers the question “What is mind?” The importance of coming to some kind of clarity about what the mind is, even as a starting place from which to assess and advance research, can not be underestimated.

We are now between the two public holidays honoring mothers and fathers. In the last several months, I’ve been in a number of discussions with various professors of neuroscience and psychology about the role of parents in development.
