This is Soul School Lesson 67 (SSL 67)
The human brain is a “soup” of chemicals (the consistency of soft butter) encased in the bone “bowl” of your skull. This gelatinous cocktail needs to stay in balance for optimal mental and bodily health. Today, I’ll talk about serotonin and dopamine and an experiment I’m taking during February that you might want to try too. (scroll down for the AUDIO PLAYER)

The types of work left for humans to do is going away and this changes how we see ourselves.
If you want to be healed from past or present issues, getting emotional distance and a proper perspective from your painful thoughts, worries, and experiences is crucial. Easier SAID than done, right?
In the world of therapy, Dr Steven Hayes developed a powerful technique to facilitate that distance and achieve what is called “psychological flexibility”.
Humans are particularly good at achieving psychological flexibility, if we practice; and the basics are easy to understand.
READY to put the days of getting mentally or emotionally hijacked behind you?
