At the Garrison Institute's 2011
Climate, Mind and Behavior Symposium, Dr. Dan Siegel of the Mindsight
Institute discusses the neurological basis of behavior, the mind, the
brain and human relationships. He explains one definition of the mind as
"an embodied and relational emergent process that regulates the flow of
energy and information," and describes the role of awareness and
attention in monitoring and modifying the mind. Dr. Siegel puts forth a
method of expanding the sense of identity so as to include other people,
species and the planet and proposes the concept of "we maps." He
recommends using the notion of health as a means of linking individual,
community and planetary wellbeing.
