Training the Brain for Calm: Insights from neuroscience and psychology
17:00 - 18:00 UK time
How do our thoughts, attention and inner habits shape the way we feel and respond to life? This interactive session with Dr Prashant Kakoday explores how simple forms of mental training can help create greater calm, clarity and emotional balance.
Drawing on both research and lived experience, the session looks at how the mind can be gently guided towards more stable and positive patterns. When we learn to focus attention in the right way, we begin to notice changes — in how we think, how we feel and how we relate to situations around us.
Through explanation, reflection and short guided experiences, you will have the opportunity to explore these ideas for yourself. The aim is not just to understand calm, but to experience it — and to see how it can become a natural part of everyday life.
