Great discussion and oh how relevant to learning success!
Yes- I agree that it is really about learning the techniques to both quiet the
mind at times, and activate faster brainwaves at other times. The key is to
help learners enable the correct mind waves for the learning or assessment task
at hand:-) It can be done - recent research shows! And they can also learn to
do this adaptation on their own as part of the tools they take from our
classes. There are four key brainwaves that stop or start learning -- and many
students get stuck in one without the skills to move into others that fit the
learning tasks at hand. http://twurl.nl/l3mxdv
Thoughts?
Hope your own mental circuitry today is just what's needed to synapse fine
value into your day! :-) Ellen

Thanks, Dina, for sharing. Chopra's gap between thoughts is suggestive of
"complete silence" almost like descending into the Black hole to connect with
ones' source of flow where any form of thought including concentration is
transcendentally absent. I belief that everyone is capable of learning the
techniques of quieting the mind; all you need is a good teacher who can model
the postures associated with this science of human cultivation.
Any thoughts?
Hussain.

Hi there everyone--
I've been following the conversation between Ellen and Hussain (re:
development of heart and mind in school) with interest. I blogged on one of
their topics, the intersection of meditation and school, not too long ago. Take
a look if you have some time.
The range of comments I received from all quarters of education were a
gift and very instructive.
