Thank you madam for all the insights.
@@Ravivarma618 my pleasure!
I have a question: why are you so beautiful 😍
@@danielfreeman649 aww thank you!
Are you arguing from a generalized position, or is this specific? I.e., for example, if someone had an elevated resting heartrate, as symptom to what you likely are able to guess.
@@EditioCastigata hi! If I understand your question correctly, it is more general! Doing the MOST in many areas, constantly 'fixing' and optimizing. Does this answer your question?
@@EditioCastigata hi! If I understand your question correctly it is from a general position. Doing the MOST in all areas, constant fixing and optimizing. Does that help answer your question?
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 We both have brain chemistry in mind. We’re just talking about different levels of activity when “idle.” I think your advice is good but could be even better with some addenda. Your specific background likely (I don’t know for certain, and YT is bad for an exchange like this) makes you not realize the new position to advice from. Anyway, apologies, don’t let that make you insecure. Everything is work in progress. 🙂
@ appreciated your perspective! No need to apologize :)
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 Bruce Perry is an intro read. Was, in my initial field of studies.
Man this hurts it's so real to what I tell myself. Thank you for this video.
@@ryanofottawa it is my pleasure! You got this!
@@ryanofottawa it is my pleasure! You GOT this!
what thats mean doing the MOST i didn't get it i mean do what?
@@hsynosm2613 this is a GREAT question and this answer will likely be a bit different for everyone. Doing the most is when you are filling up your day around being productive, focusing solely on achievements, trying to fix everything (including yourself) or spending mental energy around it. The opposite would be to be present, doing stuff just because you want to and not because you feel like you have it, spending time just being and not doing. Hope that helps answer your question :)
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 thanks for answer these topics are so abstract i dont get it sometimes
@ i am glad you asked! Good questions are a sign of intelligence! Maybe I'll make a video to explain this a bit more
thank you for the daily frontal lobe development
@@annabethchase4568 my pleasure!
Great video! Would you like some feedback?
Thanks Eric! Sure :)
This is also about my life. I always thought in subconscious level, if I do more, I will be more valuable. That was like never ending loop. I still work with old conviction. Thanks Sylvie
I totally get! And the truth is that we are inherently valuable as we are. And when we behave with that in mind, we "create" more value. Thank you for your comment <3
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 ❤
Thanks so much madam for all the insights!!
@Ravivarma618 it is my pleasure!
Wow! That is so very honest and true and brave! I recognise some of that, the endless search in times of limitless available tools, tricks, methods ect. One of my simplest hacks is to sleep more (9 h instead of 8 h ) and bonus: stay in bed every now and then on a rainy yuck-ish day the whole day like a larvae ha ha in a cocoon... The regenerative power of the body, brain and sleep.... I always feel amazingly full of energy after such a day. It is inspiring to see a person exploring themselves honestly and transforming all the various different parts of their own lives into insight, energy and direction dear Sylvie! You rock girl! Gently. 🤩😍🥳❤🩹💯💛👌✌🙏👋👍🧠🧠🫀🫀🐬🐳🌸🍀💐🏵💮🌺🌻🌼🌴🌴🌴
What a beautiful share!! It is funny how you mention sleep and its regenerative power - super important and something I have been prioritizing as well. Appreciate the compliment (and the gently right after <3 )
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 You're welcome, my pleasure! ☺
I kept looking at that cup throughout the video,...! :v
...But after checking out your lovely ❤️website, only to learn that you are able to do yoga-teaching on a floating supboard, ....I slowly start to understand why you didn't spill your coffee in that cup, while looking at the camera and talking, all at once Sylvie. That in itself deserves a masters' degree. 🙏✨👍🙃😍🙏 Balance. Immaculate. The proof in the pudding that this neuroscience really works.🙏😄😇
Lovely and profound Aura you have❤❤ ❤. I don't necessarily agree with "it is impossible to not have thoughts". It is not the goal of Meditation, but with time it IS possible. Not for a long period of time, but even a small amount of time No-Thought is super beneficial.
Absolutely!! Fleeting moments :) often my students think they are doing meditation "wrong" because they have thoughts so I like to be very clear that thoughts is often a part of it! Thank you for your reflect!
@synaptic.sylvie5584 It all starts with reducing the flow of thoughts and separating our Being from our Thoughts and Emotions.
Wow, she looks so deliciously sweaty.. MMM..
It's hard to defend and explain a contrarian stance on why meditating isn't a good pursuit, but the clickbait-effect is needed to start building an online profile and channel :v :P Lovely and a bit brainy/nerdy and that's a match somewhat for a neuroscientist. 🙃😇😹💛
It is a great pursuit! But a lot of misconceptions around it which can make it tough for people to get into the practise :)
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 Yes, it is a great pursuit, and you actually can't really get into it from the neuroscience-perspective, I'll give you 7-10 years to conclude that for yourself, you'll learn a lot ;-) :P 😍😇💛🙃🧐...and I am sure , as an intelligent woman, that you'll get there...🙏😜🌸
Thank you for sharing your perspective. I resonate with everything you said. The only difference I see is how meditation can be viewed as a flexible tool that benefits everyone based on their unique needs. It can be used occasionally to reset your mental state, practiced regularly as a short session to set the tone for your day, or embraced as a deep spiritual practice to connect with your consciousness and pursue profound spiritual evolution. Meditation is for everyone and should be appreciated, not imposed. Moreover, meditation comes in many forms. You don't always need to sit still to meditate-walking, dancing, gazing at fire, humming, or simply focusing on your breath are all valid practices. The essence of meditation lies in being present, grounded, and focused.❤
@@tatiananugent8434 meditation is flexible! I LOVE thé examples you listed! Walking meditations (sometimes referred to as Buddha walks) are my favourite! Thank you for your reflection :)
Girl you seem quite nervous in front of the camera 😮 ... Meditation is good for everyone, except for those who are hell bent on running on autopilot....there might be some instances when you release your repressed emotions, and it might be trouble some for that particular instant...but in long run, it heals... ! And yeah, it is possible to transcend thought completely...though thought in meditation can be very subtle and it keeps melting into the infinite Oblivion! Good effort though to have some unique content to reach to new audiences on TH-cam. The algorithm might not support this though because it runs on a positive loop. All the best pretty girl 😊
@@beetribe123 hi Bee! I love to move when I talk and I have a second camera below me I look at for recording for other platforms - which I could see as coming off a bit nervous! Meditation is great which I share the neuroscience behind in other episodes but I find a barrier with my students maintaining a practise is the misconceptions I share here. Thank you for your reflection :)
This is so interesting! Thanks for sharing your perspective 🩷
@SummerRaydiant it is MY pleasure :)
I find this stuff fascinating
I do too! The brain is so incredible
@ Synchronicity by Carl Jung. Fascinating book.
@ritchie4255 ooo BIG fan of Carl Jung! Thanks for the reccomendation
Wow
Thank you!
Thank you for explanation. Is easier to me make a change when I know some details about healthy habbits 😊💪
Happy to hear that! I am the same way :)
Love this!
Glad you find it helpful :)
That was really interesting, thanks😃
my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you Sylvie for this first ephisode. It`s good to listen to, I like it 😊
I am glad you enjoyed it :)
Hi Sylvie, so glad you got coursgeous enough to start this channel, well done you! I wish i didnt feel overwhelmed right now, so i could pick a small thing to change, but i am just getting divorced after 33 yrs of marriage to someone who i now see gaslit me most of it( though my lack of boundaries), its beyond painful having to sell my home of 30 yrs and go it alone at 61, and i dont know how to stop those feelings of panic, grief and overwhelm, particularly as although we have been forced to live for a yr together( no finances to get our own places until house is sold), i have had to watch his life go from strength to strength whilst my mental and physical health has really taken a pasting having to witness him changing before my eyes 😢any suggestions to get me through this really challenging time? Lin.
Thank you for sharing Lin and I am sorry to hear about what you are going through. That is a lot of change and it is understandable you are feeling overwhelmed. My suggestion (as a researcher/human not a medial doctor) would be to focus on keeping things simple and related to stress management. When we are very activated, it can be challenging to implement change or to get through our day to day tasks. Keeping things simple, prioritizing food good and sleep, add things to your routine (one thing, not overwhelming) to help with stress relief and try to not add more to your plate if possible. Thinking of you and hope this is helpful.
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 This sounds like advice that resonates with me, bless you with your channel going forward Sylvie 🙏

Such a relaxant. Loved it 💖
So glad to hear that :) thank you!
I love detox flow yoga. I also practice doing a yogic enema before doing my yoga to drastically increase the detoxing effects.
Love detox flows :) and super interesting about yogic enema!
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 Awesome. I have been practicing mainly Hatha Yoga Basti Kriya or yogic enemas before doing my Hatha Yoga asanas since I was 13 in 1995 for detoxing and health benefits. My channel is based on my personal experiences. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
@@synaptic.sylvie5584 I forgot to mention that another reason I do the yogic enema before doing my yoga is to prevent being uncomfortable with bloating or gas. I also use some poses for my yogic enemas.
Hi Sylvie!!! I loved this! Thank you, hope all is well.
Thank you (and my pleasure)! I am doing well - it is nice to hear from you :)
