Mindfulness and the Healing Power of Our Brain

More evidence comes in that we can train our brain to heal ourselves.  Mindfulness, Meditation, Placebo, or Breathing can change a physiological response.  We can learn to shape our brains to pay attention and build circuits in different pathways to promote healing and well-being.  As I practice mindfulness, I feel this shifting.  I am excited about my recent and ongoing training in Somatic Experiencing which adds to this practice as well as adding skills to help others with its application.  More research in this area gives those of us with chronic pain or illness hope.  The good news is that we can shift the habits of the brain.
