Hack Your Brain: How To Free Your Mind

Welcome to this fascinating journey. In this 7-day course, we will focus on how we can connect with our inner power and release our unique potential. Releasing our unique potential enables us to live a life that is true to ourselves. Yet, becoming the person who we truly are can be challenging and often requires courage. At times we may feel like our potential is blocked by feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, fear, or simply a lack of self-confidence. These blockages are not always easy to reduce or get rid of. Someone telling us not to feel afraid when walking on (life’s) stage does not always reduce our feelings of fear. Telling someone who feels sad not to worry and look at the bright side of life is not always sufficient to feel happy. At these moments, our inner blockages are not open to suggestions of the mind or kind suggestions of others. So what can help us unlock our inner power, so we can rise and shine? This is the question that I asked myself as a neuroscientist some time ago. The scientific insights that I was able to gain were an absolute life changer for me and are at the core of this journey. It is my privilege to share these insights with you with the purpose of creating a positive impact on your unique life quality. Please do reach out to me in the classroom in case you have questions and you would like to share your experiences with the other students. I would be delighted to hear from you. With much gratitude for Music Of Wisdom for allowing me the use the track 'Deep Into Nature.

Great job, Dr. Karolien! I’ve listened to many podcasts, courses, and books on this topic, and you have a fantastic way of explaining complicated concepts in a simple and relatable manner. I also found the “special guests” to be very helpful. I have been practicing some form of mindful meditation for many years, and after listening to your course, I feel motivated to be more intentional in my practice. Thank you for that, and keep up your amazing work!

Interesting. The addition of guests gave this course a quality which was excellent and helpful.

This course was so insightful. I learned so much and became so much more aware of the cognitive process. This will greatly improve not just my meditation practices but also processing everyday experiences. For an overthinker like myself, this course was extremely beneficial.

Amazing experience! I am very grateful for all the knowledge learned!

My second time doing this course. Thank you. It’s helped me to reconnect with the beautiful world of inter-connectedness and to stay in touch with myself.

I liked the science behind it. I will have to find another course to compliment your information as I need to dig deeper into how attachments to thought affect my working brain. I want to let go of thoughts that attach to myself which are of no use and damaging.

I appreciated learning a little bit of the science behind the pop psychology. I’d love to learn more and I appreciated the way the material was presented. Very well done! And many thanks.

Thank you for this interesting exploration of the mind and how to use meditation as a tool to tame it. 🙏

Great and necessary information to understand our mind.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and education and lovely spirit and humanity. You help to show us the best in ourselves. So valuable to learn from you. 🙏🏼

The stepwise approach toward mindfulness, and the rationale and scientific reasoning are things I appreciate in this short course.

Fantastic! A course I plan to revisit from time to time.

This course feels like a very important step in my recovery from a serious medical situation. I am so relieved to now have specific structures and networks to refer to in my practice of overcoming anxiety. I am deeply grateful for this work, your approach to presenting this information, and the benefits I already feel.

I did complete this course rather quickly, did day 1 then came back to complete 2-7 this morning. I’m looking forward to coming back periodically in order to refresh.

I have been wanting to learn more about the brain as this was the focus of my medical experience this year. I am going to look around my local colleges to see about that. If you have suggestions for books or other resources where I can learn more, please share.

Deep gratitude.

Loved it. A great scientific explanation as to the benefits of Mindfulness Meditation

Dear Karolien, this is my third course and after two beautiful workshops with you, I have to say that it's always great learn from you. Your unique way to teach helps me to understand better my brain and my behaviour and gives me many tools to thrive my life.

Thank you from my heart❤️

With gratitude,

Excellent overview. Very helpful especially understanding how the pre-frontal cortex gets depleted. Thank you 🙏🏽

Excellent course. Science, proof that meditation works!

Intuitive, basic and simple truth, yet no reminder of this is one too much 💜Thank you and may you always walk on warm sands! 🙏

A great insight into the inner workings of the brain and the mind. I enjoyed this course very much and learned something as well. Mastery and pleasure, the perfect combination! With gratitude and love 🙏❤️

Excellent explanation of how our mind and procesesses work, in a simple language that we can all understand, now I have to practice mindfulness meditation which I’m not familiar with. Thank you 🙏🏼
