Mindsight: Introduction and Chapter 1 Discussion

The idea of mindsight as the "sea inside" is appealing to me. I see everything as water- waves, ebbs, flow, currents- inside and outside. I have done a lot of practice and training for personal growth to engage "the observer" to have a neutral view of my process, feelings, thoughts. He talks about this concept in the introduction as "focused attention that allows us to see our inner workings of our own mind". In chapter 1, when we get introduced to Barbara and her family, we understand why Leanne was showed a reponse to the video of she and her mom interacting at the birthday party. He explaiens this vital connection that was happening was like two humans feeling felt by each other. I see it as our "observers" are observing each other and the interaction between the two and the feelings it is evoking. It causes me to think of mirror neurons and this need to be seen by another is so potent. 

The triangle of well being is also an interesting concept that i am looking forward to working with more. Also the heart/brain connection from a science standpoint as opposed to a spiritual one is an interest.
