Discover The Neuroscience-Based Strategies used by Surgeons, Federal Law Enforcement, and Elite Athletes to Power Mindfulness Meditation for Emotional Intelligence
Learn the skills to read your body's signals, observe your own mind, and reimagine your authentic story.
"Using mindfulness to precisely target and train emotional intelligence gives you an unfair advantage. When you understand the difference between emotions and feelings, it finally becomes clear how to effectively deal with difficult situations, difficult people, and the stressful physiology that comes with them."
-- Brian Shiers MA CMF LMFT
Psychotherapist and Senior Mindfulness Teacher for UCLA MARC
Learn from 20+ Years of Research and Insights At The Intersection Where Neuroscience Meets Mindfulness and Psychotherapy
Decades of painstaking neuroscience research have revealed that the emotions we experience are learned culturally. With the investigative power of mindfulness meditation, you can use that information to radically transform your self-perception to become clear about your emotions and how they relate to your physiology and motivate behavior. And with expanded self-awareness, you'll also be able to tune into others more effectively and enjoy better relationships and a richer experience of life. Making Sense of Your Emotions equips you with the tools, exercises, and concepts necessary to increase your understanding and unlock your innate wisdom.
In Making Sense of Your Emotions you will:
Use cutting-edge neuroscience to tell the critical difference between emotions and feelings
Take advantage of the brain's construction of reality to become the Architect of your Experience

A Letter From Brian Shiers
To You
Hello and welcome to this training program! I'm so excited you're here, and I'll tell you why.
Feelings run the show of our lives.
But emotions and feelings aren't the same thing, and this confusion has caused millions upon millions of people around the world to struggle with their own experience, be ineffective in relationships, and suffer more than they need to.
By combining the most researched form of self-awareness and self-regulation - mindfulness meditation - with the very latest, cutting-edge evidence of brain and mind function from cognitive neuroscience, Making Sense of Your Emotions will not only live up to its name, it will put you in the driver's seat to empower yourself, improve your relationships, and experience deeper meaning in life.
I know because these techniques are the very same methods I use for myself, my family, my mindfulness students, and my therapy clients. They work, and they create real change.
Welcome aboard! I'll be with you every step of the way.
