Description:... Liv is a fun and creative 10-year old girl who explains how the brain works through the different imaginary characters in her brain team. We learn how the 'amygdala feelers' serve to protect us from danger while the 'prefrontal cortex thinkers' help us to calm down, solve problems, and relate to others. When emotions run high and the 'feelers' take control, the 'thinkers' go offline and it is hard to make good choices. Liv teaches us five mindfulness practices to unify the brain team so that we can open ourselves to different possibilities.
