Why reading hits different than scrolling, for mood & brain

In this episode, we'll peek at what's actually happening in your brain when you read, and look into why it's even better than just the relaxation benefits. We'll talk about measurable brain connectivity changes from reading fiction, how your brain simulates a character's physical experience, and a fascinating parallel between reading eye movements & emotional processing.Wanna try reading a very short romantica fiction?Peek here at the ones i mentioned in the podcast!Romantica Stories for Women over 40. . .oh hi & welcome to “Not Entirely Unlike Tea” – i’m christine collins & together we'll explore how to actualize our mindset, psychology, & neuroscience for more creativity, happiness & success!. . .The Poth™ (Hypno-Pothecary) - Hypnosis & Mindset MembershipLock in podcast pricing $7 usd / month!*Use code: podcast-poth at checkout*peek here at The Poth™ . . .Grab your copy of my Oracle Mindset Workbook - "Reclaim Your Muchness," with 22 unique oracle cards...
