Curiosity is at the heart of everything I do—curiosity about my brain—the way in which I think—and how different "mind-training" tools might better improve my life. There's good reason for that curiosity too. In 2012 when I woke up blind and paralysed, it was my own mind that saved me. Who would have guessed that meditating would be my most powerful ally? Before all of this self-experimenting kicked off I was an award winning telly producer making all of those ads that you turn off. When fate conspired to turn the lights out on me, I decided to use my terrier producer skills to investigate the science of ME. What I found out changed the course of my life. Finding My Right Mind: One Woman's Experiment to put Meditation to the Test is the latest instalment of my weird and enlightening journey. For three years I have been a "human guinea-pig" wearing an EEG headset daily as I meditated my way through 10 different "mind-training' techniques, from mindfulness to psychedelics. If you want to know what I discovered about myself (and how that relates to you!) and what science discovered about me; check it out. "In Finding My Right Mind, Vanessa Potter, writes lucidly about the farther reaches of human experience. Her insatiable curiosity and hyper-awareness of the world around her makes for a compelling account. Personally, I found this book funny, comforting, honest, moving, and at times just so damn weird that I had to keep reading. It raises a glass to spiritual adventurers everywhere." (Dr Roger Bretherton, Clinical Psychologist and Associate Lecturer, School of Psychology, University of Lincoln) I'd be delighted to speak at your event or school on topics of inspiration, resilience, self-care and meditation.
