The Science of an Optimal Mind - Dan Brown, Ph.D. | The FitMind Podcast

Dr. Daniel P. Brown is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School and Senior Meditation Master in Indo-Tibetan Bon & Buddhism, having been given secret practices directly from the Dalai Lama and teaching for nearly 50 years. The Tibetans have in fact asked him to translate several sacred texts on meditation.
Dr. Brown is also a world-renowned forensic law & western psychology expert, a peak performance coach to CEOs, a hypnotherapist of 40 years, and the author of at least 15 books on meditation and psychology, including Pointing Out the Great Way.
Topics in this episode include the neurocircuitry of performance excellence and flow states, Tibetan maps to awakening, the first brain scans on people with this level of attainment, training a mind devoid of all negative mental states, true "Inner Fire" or Tummo breathing practice, supernatural abilities of the mind, and common mistakes that westerners are making in their meditation practices.

The guy is a conduit of healthy divine expression of love.. RIP Dan Brown Ph.D

[@antonworonczuk918]

This interview changed my life. It convinced me to pursue instruction from Dan and the Pointing Out the Great Way lineage. The quality and clarity of the teachings is astonishing.

[@JoshuaRichardson123]

So glad to hear it! Can you talk a little about your experience and past experience?

[@BeingIntegrated]

Thanks I really enjoyed this discussion and grateful it happened before Daniel's passing.

[@hgcollective]

Incredible contribution that Dr Dan Brown made to humanity. What an amazing human being - in a league of his own ❤🙏🏽

[@FitMindMeditation]

Hey everyone, please understand that Dan has Parkinson's, and so his speech is remarkably clear in light of this fact. His mind still works beautifully, as you'll see, and I hope you find benefit in these wise teachings. If you'd like to help Dan battle his health conditions, please see: gofundme.com/f/gone-way-way-beyond

Interesting topics discussed during this interview.. the paranormal abilities of the patanjali yoga sutras and the bioenergy of relics. In my visit to Tibet (at least, in Lhasa) I was shocked how Westernized and political it was - Tibetan ways are suppressed by the Chinese government and Tibetans aren't even allowed passports. I can understand why Tibetans would give Brown secret teachings to translate. Thanks for sharing this interview.

[@sirkent1]

I started with you in Naples years ago your hypnotic language, the way you present I got so much out of that you're the best of all of them and I guess we all miss benson

[@RobertPashayan]

Dan Brown was a walking encyclopedia, so sad I didn't meat him in person before he passed away :/

[@micheleosorio3112]

Why don’t you include Dan’s offerings and websites in the show notes?

[@brandonmehrg]

He asked several times and tried. I think Dan wants people to find it in their own path.

[@nickcascone4552]

Could you please link Daniel's websites in the description?

[@groundofbeing9733]

You sound exactly like the guy who does Combat Stories. Kept hearing Daniel then it was like this weird sense he was going to start talking about Vietnam combat missions lol

[@gracepoint-vo1hy]

❤❤❤

So sad that Dan Brown PhD is suffering from physical disease - his mind is so focused.

[@aracelifaial7778]

HOW MANY STAGES UNTIL GETTING AWERENESS

[@Ratgodx]

If you’re bothering to ask questions like that you’ve got a long way to go my friend. We’re aiming for enlightenment, a feat harder than becoming a billionaire. Think about what that means. Trust in your training, your spirit will get there when you’re ready .

[@mileskeighery3642]

It was like a whole bunch of thought but no heart, And not a lot of awareness around trying to not sound like a mental health patient

[@ChrisBird1]

Yes A Parkinson's patients

[@mellow5123]

I wish he wasn't mumbling/speed talking/eating his words so much... And he sure doesn't look very happy! :P Other than that the content is good.

[@LukeToop]

He is suffering from Parkinson's and Lyme disease, unfortunately. Several hundred students have donated to support his health so he can continue teaching: gofundme.com/f/gone-way-way-beyond

@@LukeToop Thank you for pointing this out - we've just pinned the link and hope those watching will feel moved to contribute

[@BenGallagher-ze2em]
