Neurosculpting: A Step-by-Step Program to Change Your Brain and Transform Your Life

by Lisa Wimberger

Scientifically Grounded Practices for Healing and Transformation

Modern neuroscience shows that what we do and think can change the physical structure of the brain—yet often this occurs unconsciously, when we habitually react to stress in unhealthy ways. Lisa Wimberger created Neurosculpting® as a complete approach for consciously reshaping our brains for greater happiness, health, creativity, and compassion. With Neurosculpting, she offers you in-depth training in this powerful process for using meditation, mindfulness, diet, and unique daily practices to help you create positive, lasting changes in your brain—and your life.

Rewiring Your Brain for Resilience and Happiness

The first step in Neurosculpting is to change the way you deal with stress. You'll learn why the brain instinctively responds to everyday stress as a physical threat—and how you can "rewrite the script" that your nervous system follows when stressful situations arise. From there, Lisa offers guided meditations and practical strategies to help you improve your physical and emotional health, discover calm and joy, clear self-limiting beliefs, increase your creative flexibility, and connect to others.

Through her groundbreaking work with first-responders, Lisa Wimberger has discovered which practices have the greatest success for creating positive change at the neurological level. Rich with scientific research and proven techniques, Neurosculpting is a complete course for becoming an active agent in your own healing and transformation.

I am blessed and very busy experiencing my diverse life in full throttle.

I've been meditating for over 30 years trying to figure out the mysteries behind what makes me me. What I have to share with the world is a genuine desire for a two-way dialogue.

I enjoyed the book.
However, it is not what I was expecting.
It was hard for me to follow in the meditations and I found some parts useful but many of the things in the book I had already read them in other books.
I'm giving it 3 stars because I will go back to practice some of the meditations every now and then.
Not a book to read when you are driving (as I did) as you will be missing out a lot.

I listen to meditations every day on my way to work and so I like to think of myself as some what of a meditation connoisseur. The meditations in this audiobook were phenomenal! In addition, the analysis of them was also thorough and meaningful. This book helped me to lower my anxiety and also to confront some parts of myself where fear was lingering and be able to assuage those fears. Since finishing the book, I have gone back and listened to the meditations several times. I highly recommend it.

a powerful, smart alternative guide to meditation for those of us who struggle with it as well as some really interesting brain science relayed in a completely accessible manner. lisa wimberger is really on to something. i have been doing her meditations for two weeks now and have achieved some serious moments of peace in the midsts of some extreme stress, something other forms of meditation i've done has never given me access to. i'm a neurosculpting convert.

3.5

Half of the chapters are lightly explaining how we can actually grow new brain cells. The other half is a series of guided meditation (or for people who can't relate to those words, "exercises.")

I recommend this audio book mainly for the guided meditation sessions that you can keep in your digital library, saving you searching through podcasts and youtube videos.

Many of the things the author talked about were things that my psychology classes covered, even the gorilla example. Then she mixes in a lot of new age concepts. It was interesting, but it would have been better without the sessions. I would have liked better just to have the facts and not long winded examples.

The science behind neuroscuplting I found very interesting. It really intrigued me and I want to know more and succeed at the process. I just couldn’t get into the meditation aspect of it. It was really weird to me. I couldn’t wrap my brain around the process. It just wasn’t for me.

Great read

Another meditation series that can help impact neurological change. Repackaged MBSR for the most part, but does have specific meditation practices for specific purposes.

Basic concepts expanded a bit, I was impressed with the author’s enthusiasm…
