Curiosity is at the heart of everything I do — I'm fascinated 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 I woke up blind and paralysed, yet it was my own mind that saved me and got me onto the road to recovery. Who would have guessed that meditating would be my most powerful ally? After that, I decided to investigate the science of ME and put the skills I'd learnt as a television producer to work. What I discovered 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. “A fascinating whistle-stop read through ten different ways to train the mind, written in the context of learning to be the best that we can be for ourselves, our families and our loved ones. It doesn’t matter what you think you may know about meditation, consciousness or yourself, there is much to be learnt here.” (Isabel Losada, bestselling author) "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.
