The Manhattan Adult ADD Support Group is pleased to present the following lecture (On Zoom): Mindfulness Meditation Workshop - w/ Rebekah Hensley, LMT Thursday, October 21, 2021 From 8:00 -10:00 PM... Mindfulness is the practice of self-awareness, of being "in the moment" rather than letting the thoughts take us elsewhere. When we are mindful, we observe our thoughts and feelings in a detached, non-judgmental way. Mindfulness meditation involves breathing and relaxation, while clearing the mind of cluttered thoughts and focusing on the breath. At its peak, it can induce a trance-like state. Our session will be led by Rebekah Hensley, a massage therapist, yoga teacher, and practitioner of Reiki (a Japanese folk technique in which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing). Rebekah is based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Rebekah will present from 8;00 9:00 PM. From 9:00 -10:00 PM we will have House Keeping Notices & General Support/Group Discussion To register for this Zoom lecture, please send an E Mail to: [email protected] (Please include your E mail address).

The Manhattan Adult ADD Support Group is pleased to present the following lecture on Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 8:00 PM (NYC Time Please note: Due to the continuing Covid crises, all of our meetings take place on Zoom). * Neuromodulation for Cognitive Restoration w/ Darrin Jason Lee, MD, PhD * Featured in our next talk: the much-mentioned "executive functions."... Those would be planning, decision-making, and goal-directed behavior. As well as the cognitive building blocks -- error avoidance, time perception, working memory, verbal fluency -- that make these possible. The seat of this activity? The leading candidate is the front part of the brain. Which brings us to ADHD. In some cases, ADHD is marked by a shortage of executive functioning and an underperformance of the frontal cortex. Is there a technology that can appropriately "tune" this critical region so as to bring back some of these abilities? Or grant them to people who have never had a full measure to begin with? To find out more, log on September 30. Joining us then will be Dr. Darrin Jason Lee. About Dr. Lee: Dr. Lee graduated from the medical school at the University of California at Irvine; earned a neuroscience PhD from UC Davis; and completed a fellowship at the University of Toronto in functional neurosurgery. At Toronto, he studied the experimental use of deep-brain stimulation to treat Alzheimer's disease. Currently, Dr. Lee is an assistant professor of neurosurgery at the University of Southern California. There, he's part of the multi-disciplinary USC Center for Neurorestoration, where he's known for his interest in developing treatments for cognitive and psychiatric disorders.
