Gratitude — Welcome to the Brain’s Feel-Good Reward Center

March 17, 2021 00:32:52

Show Notes

Add Heart Call host Deborah Rozman HeartMath CEO and guest Gregg Braden discuss gratitude and how it can catapult us into higher brain states.

It’s Thanksgiving week in the United States and a time that people focus more on gratitude and appreciation for the good things in their lives.

Few people know that gratitude and appreciation are powerful heart energetics that actually give us access to higher brain states.

Gratitude releases a powerful, self-rewarding feel-good neurotransmitter in the brain. Gregg and Deborah will talk about recent evidence from brain-imaging studies that shows the brain’s “reward center” lighting up when we’re feeling grateful.

This discussion will deepen our understanding and heart-power our intentions to feel gratitude and appreciation for family and friends this holiday season.
