(12 min CLASS) Prefrontal Cortex and Consciousness w/ Sophia Bouwens
The Prefrontal Cortex is the highest level, or most evolved part, of our conscious brain. It is where we are able to do complex tasks like planning, goal setting, and inhibiting urges.
A healthy prefrontal cortex helps us embody our selves with intention, integrity, and ease. When our prefrontal cortex is out of balance, we can be more susceptible to impulses, not completing things we set out to do, and can feel easily overwhelmed.
In this video, Sophia dives into the main functions of the prefrontal cortex, where our power of choice lies, and it's connectivity to our stress, our power of choice, and how it impacts our ability to live in a conscious and intentional way.
