The entire spectrum of brain health and fitness, from treatment of illness to optimization of well being, is emerging as a transformational opportunity to enhance quality of life. There is a pronounced gap between the growth of a compelling research and evidence base, and the awareness and action on the part of health and human service providers, educators, payers, employers and the general public.
Established in 2016, BrainFutures is a non-profit organization providing a "one-stop-shop" for rigorous and unbiased information about advances in brain health resulting from breakthroughs in understanding neuroplasticity of the brain. We focus on two key areas:
Advances in treatments and programs that produce superior results combining digital therapies and new medications with self-care strategies including mindfulness, exercise, diet and fitness.
Digital and self-care strategies involving brain fitness that strengthen neural networks, and improve brain health and functioning.

Too bad he forgot to mention the focus aspect of it all. Which is to imagine a blue light/energy, whatever you want to call it to enter through your head from above and exit through the front (between eyebrows) during the mantra. I was introduced to Kirtan Kriya years ago and have been a fan ever since.
I am a certified TIYT, trauma informed yoga therapist and kundalini yoga instructor. I teach Kirtan kriya in my mindfulness workshops and my weekly classes. I did this for 62 minutes a day for a 40 day sadhana. It changed my brain. ✨ It felt magical even though I understood the science of it.

Very interesting
I'm crying as my 7 year old jumps around the room with high anxiety. So much so he doesn't speak. Cannot really learn. I don't know what to do anymore.

Pretty fascinating
Hopefully in the future these types of treatments will become even more well-known, more widely accepted, and more widely available. Perhaps public schools can even start offering them to students on a sliding scale and free basis as part of an after-school enrichment/extra support curriculum.
First survivor of Alzheimer’s is Robbie Willis, watch his testimony it’s phenomenal
The singing is missing. It’s a song sa ta na ma. ??? It’s 12minutes ideally. Disappointed you didn’t give a link to allow people to really learn the practice. I wish you well in your journey of helping people vs research only. Remembering the heart leads the way vs the ego and you will shine. You are so knowledgeable and do such great work thank you. 🙏🏻🧘🏻♀️💜💗

I am a medical specialist and was always worried about memory loss in my patients and feel so good as my perspective has changed.something any one can do.great work .
Strange that this doesn't have more views. There's some pretty salient information presented here, and it a concise manner at that.
Agreed! So many people with #ADHD are suffering and looking for any solution
