Donāt stop believing: Journey to success fueled by growth mindset, study shows
" TRONDHEIM, Norway ā In a world obsessed with talent and natural ability, new research suggests that what truly sets high achievers apart might be all in their heads ā literally. A new study reveals that people with a growth mindset ā those who believe their abilities can be developed through effort ā show significantly higher levels of passion and grit compared to those with a fixed mindset.
Think about the last time you faced a challenging task. Did you tell yourself, āIām just not good at this,ā and give up, or did you view it as an opportunity to learn and improve? While this study doesnāt prove that one response is better than the other, it suggests an intriguing connection between such thoughts and our drive to achieve.
The research, conducted by Hermundur Sigmundsson and Monika Haga from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), examined 1,548 participants between the ages of 13 and 77. The researchers focused on comparing two distinct groups: those with the highest growth mindset scores (top 5%) and those with the lowest (bottom 5%).
A growth mindset, as defined in the research, isnāt just positive thinking ā itās the belief that intellectual ability is malleable rather than fixed and that intelligence can be significantly enhanced through effort, rehearsal, effective learning strategies, and education. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, where people tend to view their abilities as permanent qualities.
Grit, the researchers explain, refers to perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Itās characterized by maintaining effort and interest despite setbacks. Think of the student who persists through challenging coursework or the athlete who maintains their training schedule through ups and downs ā while these examples werenāt in the study, they illustrate the concept.
Passion, in the context of this study, is a strong desire or enthusiasm for something or a strong feeling toward an important value or preference that motivates intentions and behaviors. Itās that drive that keeps people engaged in their pursuits over time."

" Researchers have found that mindfulness meditation practitioners exhibit distinct patterns of brain activity compared to non-meditators, even during rest. Using advanced electroencephalography (EEG) techniques, the study published in Mindfulness found that meditators demonstrated differences in brain wave activity across theta, alpha, and gamma frequency bands. These differences, seen in both the strength and distribution of brain activity, suggest that long-term meditation practice leads to enduring changes in neural processes, potentially underpinning the cognitive and emotional benefits associated with mindfulness."
No doubt, the Power of these practices is immeasurable.
Very grateful and Blessed to have access to the Dharma and these sacred practices of Truth.

āSleep researchers are now using emerging technologies to interface directly with the dreaming mind. Meanwhile neuroimaging studies are revealing the unique patterns of brain activity that arise during lucid dreaming. This research could lead to wearable devices programmed with algorithms that detect opportune moments to induce lucidity in people as they sleep. As researchers, we are excited about this possibility because directing, or āengineering,ā a dream may allow people to reduce the severity or frequency of nightmares, improve sleep quality and morning mood, and even enhance general health and well-being.ā

An effective lucid dreaming method by inducing hypnopompic hallucinations
Most people experience lucid dreams (LDs), which are dreams in which the dreamer is conscious and able to perceive vivid perceptions. There are many ways to induce LDs, but their levels of efficiency are far from satisfactory. In this study, we analyze the efficiency of an LD method that was tested in commercial events with hundreds of groups over 12 years. The main feature of the method is that hypnopompic hallucinations are induced that allow an LD plot to start directly from the bedroom upon awakening, which makes the LD feel like an out-of-body experience. This method originated from the Tibetan dream yoga tradition and has been heavily modified according to a strict algorithm of specific actions. Data from 449 people, mostly newbies, who tried this method over the course of two nights indicated that 484 attempts were successful. This method might help ordinary LD enthusiasts to get efficient practice, as well as more research opportunities for studying lucid dreaming and the human brain.
