Finding My Right Mind

Do you wonder if mindfulness might lower stress or if hypnosis might cure your insomnia? Knowing where to start is often the biggest barrier to helping yourself. Finding My Right Mind narrates the 3 years and 900 hours I spent practising 12 different ways to train my mind (all while wearing an EEG headset that recorded my brain activity) as part of a meditation experiment with neuroscientists.

Could the right mind-training technique help me shout less, sleep better and connect more? Find out what Vanessa discovered about herself and which technique might work for you.

‘Patient H69 is powerful and compelling. I was transported into the detail of Vanessa’s journey and the particularly potent aspect of the account is the nuanced recounting of her inner journey.’
