This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 06, 2009:
I have fallen off the meditation practice wagon lately, and was reminded by some tweets recently from someone I actually know from Zaadz/Gaia that it's something I value too much to let it slide the way I have been. Through one of his posts I found this fascinating post on Chade-Meng Tan's blog about an in-house program at Google called SIY, and through that I found this awesome video presentation by Phillipe Goldin (who is at Stanford and also a longtime meditator) on the neuroscience of emotions with a lot of scientific information on the actual brain-changing effects of meditation. (Is that enough hyperlinks for you? Wait, there's another one coming, I can feel it.)
And now I have a little bit of a crush on Meng, by the way.
I'm also currently reading Train Your MInd, Change Your Brain (Sharon Begley) on the same subject and it's completely fascinating.

Your friend is really cute, love his smile. Is it just me or does he actually radiate joy?
Just like laughter, The Dalai Lama's smile is absolutely infectious. Every time I see his face my face automatically responds with a smile.
Jeannie, thank you for the reminder. When I get stressed, I forget to meditate and that's when it helps the most. btw…great picture…he's always so uplifting.
Oh you gais, I know - I can't ever be allowed to meet him because I swear to you, the desire to pinch his cheeks will overcome me.
fallen off the wagon too, very very distracted lately… but want to get back soon. thank you
It is nice that google is showcasing something that has been so researched and practiced by spirituality for years.
“600 words in the English language to describe emotions
& 42 muscles on the face to express them”
However expressed Love is the key is what I got from it. I love the picture of the Dalai Lama. I had never know what the term Google meant till the end of the video. I like that there are three parts to Man… body, mind & spirit and the spirit is what is in control & can change the mechanics of the mind. Thanks & HUGS
I wonder if power napping on the couch can be squeezed under the term spiritual practice? I fell off the wagon too a few weeks ago & love the links you've shared.. very inspirational she says, smiling back at the dalai.. he is the cutest.
