Interview With Dr. Craig Hassed
In our first interview we catch up with world renowned mindfulness researcher and advocate, Dr Craig Hassed, associate professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and author of 13 books thus far on mindfulness and mind-body medicine – or psychoneuroimmunology.
We start the interview with a fantastic, shot mindfulness exercise guided by Dr Hassed.
In the interview you will learn:
How a moment of awareness resulting from pre-competition nerves led Dr Hassed to a professional life studying mindfulness and mind-body medicine.
How the Richmond Tigers Australian Rules Football Team incorporated mindfulness into their training and preparation to win the 2017 Australian Football League Premiership, with stars such as Dustin Martin leading the way.
A brilliant mindfulness exercise for expending the minimum possible amount of energy whilst effectively going about work and day to day tasks that is fantastic for combatting fatigue and stress.
Some extremely useful tips on how to maintain a long term, consistent mindfulness practice.
Some of the significant findings from research on mindfulness as to effectiveness in preventing and treating mental and physical ailments, including:
Mindfulness benefits for mental health – especially in treating and preventing relapses of depression.
It stimulates brain function and growth of new brain cells, so it shows benefits for memory, executive function, improved cognitive function, decision making and managing stress.
Improved pain management, and with cancer and MS.
Epigenetic effects, meaning that mindfulness changes cellular DNA – I switches off inflammatory genes, and switches on healthy immune genes, slows down ageing etc.
Increased performance and learning for kids in schools.
Increased empathy, compassion, leadership, and emotional intelligence.
New research on mindfulness that has started to indicate that mindfulness can not only prevent Alzheimer’s Disease, but also reverse existing damage of Alzheimer’s – thus indicating that mindfulness plays a role in altering neuroplasticity of the brain.
A discussion on some of the books Dr Hassed has authored including, “New Frontiers in Medicine”, “The Freedom Trap” and “Mindfulness For Life”
Dr Hassed’s desire that we not only all wake up individually, but also collectively to make the world a better place.
We hope you enjoyed this episode and get as much or more out of it as we did.
