Thanks for posting this excellent, important talk! I love Daniel Siegel's work, and this talk is a great overview. I'd love to hear him talk further about whether any schools are dealing with the other three R's, and what parents can do to help their children develop more mindsight.

As our solar system passes through the Equinox, its gravity plane condenses causing the sun to gravitationally "Pressurize" in turn causing the sun to disperse the excess in the form of Corona Ejections. These CEs are in the excess of trillions of Gauze magnitude in magnetic current and are shot off into space in a linear fashion which collides with other planetary body's magnetospheres which absorb the CE Gauze and route these CEs into its field which are then

Great video Dr. Siegel! I look forward to the day when the 3 Rs are incorporated into our educational system.
