Enlightenment is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground. So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is too afraid to do it. People are just to scared.

Thank you.

More of this - where brain chemicals meets brainwaves!!!

I don't think eating carrots is a good analogy. Perhaps working out is it better analogy. I get sick of eating the same food over and over 😖

Genial la ultima frase: hacer la paz con tu mamifero interior

#7 has to do with our ego. That causes our suffering, our pride which is so walked on today. All 7 are legit. We don't want to mess up our happy chemicals with drugs. Finding the right mate and being disappointed create a lot of headaches along with the demands of the world. 😢 Warning not to get too involved in the world and meditate. Meditation is the best remedy and be active 😊 Seek the right therapy 🎉

You need to talk about sex and selfishness. How these pleasure chemicals become so imbalanced in a mad Chase for them. How we have lost our spiritual nature of Harmony and purity and grace. How we have lost love and God consciousness.

any one with anxiety & social anxiety

We seek happy chemicals, socializing=serotonin and oxytocin. Alcohol=dopamine and endorphins. The need for attention and the need to get out of one's skin. Partying usually implies drinking/socializing. Just like sex if it feels good why stop. And then too late 😮

I have a ear worm. I went through a very emotional situation and was listening to a song over and over and now it’s replaying in my mind how can I stop it?

Lol

The pharmaceutical industry sure is about politics 🤒🤕 Making you sick makes us rich The crazy things people do for them

Orgasm has everything.

I came here because i feel im lacking serotonin, and something in my head clicked when she said, "No one has a free pass to serotonin." I didnt realize we were out here competing for happy brain chemicals lol

So we're all reinforcement learning machines that walks on two sticks huh? (I hate darwin)

What video is this from

I thought this video would explain why musics make us feel better, what neurotransmitter is released...

So is being gay wrong, I thought gay meant happy?

So if I love someone in secret forever, I might be happier because there's always expectation?

Quote your source for this definition of love being simultaneous chemical discharge and in what proportions and what else happens along with any simultaneous discharge of said chemicals.

This video is just an ad for a paid course. It doesn't actually explain anything.

i am from kenya i love this woman i can listen to her day and night God bless you

I think she is confusing serotonin and dopamin. Dopamin rewards competing and winning.

Its like a video game .. we in a simulation even the animals

I started working out about 3 to 4 times a week on June 1st (had not done this in a while), then I started drinking 1 once of water for 2lbs of weight everyday (new), well 4 weeks ago, I signed up for a stretching and weight class(new). The lower body stretching down my left side was painful, thru my lower left side, which I believed in when I kicked off and endorphin rush, which is a brain chemical that reduces the feeling of pain. I finished the workout and went to hit golf balls (new) before work. On the way to the golf course I was a little tired as all the exercises were new, but happy, because I knew the stretching was going to help me stay loose. I did not really hit the golf balls particularly well, but I started feeling a complete euphoric happy state, I felt every feel good emotion in my body( love, compassion, since of direction, no pain, no worries). A complete state of bliss that stayed with me for 24 hours…. Two weeks later I took the class again and different exercises but the same stretching and it happened again, but it didn’t stay with me for an entire 24 hours, I had a lot work that day, but it didn’t affect my mood and I was able to finish everything. Last week I took the class I didn’t feel it, but this week the euphoric state returned. My theory is that the stretching thru the pain and then completing the workout has created this endorphin rush, but I don’t understand why it stays with me for so long. I have a friend that told me he is addicted to running because he says in the fall when the weather is cool, after about 45 minutes he feels it coming on and it lasts 6 or 7 hours. . He doesn’t feel it in the summer months, but in the fall he chases that feeling. I have another running friend that said we are completely full of BS. I have read that not everyone experiences this, but I am pretty sure when we are younger it happens, but we don’t understand or really care about the why, we just know we are happy, loved, safe, and worry/anxiety free.

Thank you , these a fantastic.

I wish my dream to be educated came true. I asked myself this question for years and here it is thanks ma

Loved it. Clever delivery.

You're two brains are in disharmony. The higher mind is intoxicated and the lower mind just wants sense gratifications 😵‍💫🤪 Good luck.

Our reasoning is definitely in the animal kingdom 🥴 I'll just be glad when I'm out of this hell. Praise Jesus

Great explanation. Very helpful. Probably one of the best videos in KZbin about this topic. Thanks a lot

Thank you

Laughter Yoga and wellness teaches how to laugh heartily and “on cue” not cognitively - but intentionally😉🩷

When I was 3 or 4 years old I was anxious around water and refused to go into deeper parts of the river/creek near my home. Likely a sensible plan but the reality was that the water did not go above my chest and was slow moving. But I always crossed the river/creek at a shallow part. One day as I crossed in the shallow section I stepped on some broken glass and cut my foot. In my brain, I imagined that I would have been safer and less prone to injury if I had crossed in the deeper part of the river/creek. After that I always crossed in the deeper part of the river/creek.

Great Explanation!

Oh love your book on anxiety by the way

Love this video but study after study has proven that social media does negatively effect mental health

Dr. Breuning, I really enjoyed your video and found it incredibly insightful. Your explanation of why our brains are wired to seek attention, get hooked on rewards, and feel stressed when things don’t go as planned was spot on. I also loved the idea that emotion triggers thought and learning from your previous videos That said, while emotions can certainly drive certain thoughts, I think changing our emotions through thought alone is more complex. In my view, it usually takes repeated actions and the building of new habits to genuinely shift those emotional patterns. It’s not just a quick fix but a process that requires time and persistence. This brings to mind a quote by Marie Curie: "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood." Of course, the irony here is that Curie died from radiation because she didn’t fully understand its dangers at the time. Understanding how our brains work can help us better manage our fears and emotions-just like understanding radiation might have saved Curie.

Great Video thankyou for that! I hope that a lot more people find out which value this knowledge of our brain has for us individuals!

Wow. Brilliant discourse. This is not a lecture it is teaching. Splendid, quirky, use of visual aids. My limbic is glowing. ❤

fascinating video, thanks for that 😊

I have learned to embrace neutral and by understanding the dips in neurochemicals, I now have a better perspective on what is going on in my "mind". Your books have helped me so much. Thank you!

You say everything I need to know in life I’m also curious about life itself not only us humans

thank you ❤❤❤,🙏

So Chinese isn't happy

This a wonderful explanation. Thank you for sharing it 😊

Thank you so much for your valuable and distinctive insight. I want to ask, regarding what you mentioned in your video, is this related to the concept of schemata versus mindset? Is it true concepts created and learned by the human prefrontal cortex are not necessarily crucial for survival, the limbic system makes them seem so. Is the best approach to handle this through stoicism?I am trying to find a pathway to understand my schemata

Much needed

Hank you Loretta. I'm really enjoying your new book. I'm finding it very helpful. ❤
