Well, hello, thanks for stopping by and you have wandered into

Darmapunks, New York, our Tuesday evening online by courtesy of the Intr tube and new technology such as Zoom allows me in my humble abode in Brooklyn to send out signals to my friends out there in the world where for a half an hour I'll

ramble on about various topics that may or may not be of

interest and then there'll be time for us to practice using some of the tools that or the themes that come up in these aforementioned ramblings and then there'll be time set aside

for you to ask any questions or offer any thoughts and that is highly encouraged.

So you have an in-person gathering at Center Yoga. This will be the first Sunday of November, or the 6th, information on the Darmapunks NYC.com website.

If you'd like to sign up generally the cost for the entire day is $20 or something like that.

We try to keep it affordable.

And speaking of funds, everything I do is provided by donation only, the counseling, the teaching.

So if you'd like to support my work as a Buddhist pastor and also like the Tuesday class,

the information is on the website, Darmapunx NYC. The

Vennmo is on the website, Darmopunks NYC.com. The Venmo is Darmapunks NYC.

There's a PayPal and a Patreon and all that you can find on the website.

Thanks for your consideration to keep me going as a teacher.

I appreciate it.

And tonight we're talking about understanding how to come and

regulate the nervous system. And we're going to be summarizing some of the recent clinical findings by the

recent clinical findings by the great neurologist Stephen Porgas,

along with work of other contemporary clinical psychologists such as Barbara Fredrickson and her work

Love 2.0 and a general theory of love by Lewis and other books on the polyvagel theory of the nervous system. I think hopefully some of this

will be of interest it might even reveal a thing or two about our, how our brains work that might be helpful

as we move through our lives.
