Outreach Officer Rachel New interviews Vanessa Potter, a South East London author whose second book, Finding My Right Mind, has just been published.
To write the book, Vanessa embarked on a road-trip, exploring ten meditation practices, in collaboration with Cambridge neuroscientists who measured 300 hours of her brain activity alongside Vanessa’s subjective reports of her own experiences.
As well as the science, we get the theory behind the meditation practices and a brutally honest account of her inner journey. Rachel and Vanessa talk about the use of language to describe meditation and its effects, how to get rid of your "inner traffic" and some practical tips for getting started on meditation - even if you're a complete sceptic!
