The Default State … is when we are idling (doing
nothing, do not engage our brains, when we are relaxed)
![Page 3: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

DefinitionDefault mode network (DMN): a
set of brain regions that are jointly active during rest, and that jointly
deactivate in any task.
![Page 5: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Co-activation of different parts of the
brain● the hippocampus and the parietal cortex (thinking
about past and memories)
● the neo-prefrontal cortex (imagine future, evaluate)
● other regions of the brain, including areas that process language (stories, judgements, worst-case scenarios)
![Page 6: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is the resting state?Wakeful rest ⬤ Mind-wandering ⬤
Spontaneous thoughts ⬤ Daydreaming ⬤ Retrieving
memories ⬤ Stimulus independent thoughts ⬤ Absence of goal-directed neuronal action and
external input
![Page 7: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What the brain loves to do
● Identify problems and how to solve them● Self-referential processing● Thinking of others (in self-reference)● JUDGE! Strong tendency towards negative bias● Make up stories, worst-case scenarios
![Page 8: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Activating the DMN●Morally judging others●Self criticism
Activates the DMN when not in idle state!
![Page 9: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DMN is good for survival
It is not good for happiness and goal
achievement!

What we can learn from rats
Similar default state to humans.
Dog Lovers: Scientists found no clue whatsoever what's going on in a dog's brain.
![Page 11: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Default Mode Rat Brain
Default Mode Rat = in the NOW● Smells the world● Tastes the world● Experiences just the moment
If they're chillin´ - they're chillin´
Oh, lucky little rat! So mindful - effortlessly...
![Page 12: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Brain and DiseaseSeveral parts of the brain are active. The same areas where
plaque forms in older patients with Alzheimer's disease.
![Page 13: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Default State & Disease
![Page 14: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Alzheimer & Default State
●Patient lose their sense of self●Lose understanding of place in the world
●Lose “What´s my relationship to you”
![Page 15: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Social anxiety disorder, Depression
When the DMN is severely damaged. Actually, the default mode contributes to depression and anxiety.
![Page 16: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Depression●Default State parts of brain more active
●Harder to shut off default mode (even when given task)
●Downward spiral of the brain (negative bias)
●When goal is set it gets connected to the parts that make us withdraw
![Page 17: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Life experienceChanges the default mode of the brain. Any form of pain (mental or
physical) changes the brain. A concussion, breakup, business
failure, betrayal, job loss ...
![Page 18: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TraumaTrauma is not a predefined terrible
event. Trauma is individual. Trauma is what “shocks” us.
After trauma the brain part responsible for threat detection becomes part of
the DMN!!!
![Page 19: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chronic PainThe brains of people who suffer
from chronic pain also shuts down the default state way harder.
Thoughts like : “Why is that happening to me”
“What if it gets worse”...
![Page 20: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Alternative DMNIt is possible to change the default state of the brain to an alternative
state. The state is called non-evaluative present awareness
![Page 21: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Something funny
One Phoenix said to me: My default state is Jacky*
● Jack Daniels
![Page 22: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Trained and untrained mind
Trained mind Untrained mind
“I am feeling hungry” “Gosh, why did you forget to bring the snack”“You never take the time for a proper breakfast”“Hungry again, fatso”
“My leg hurts” “Why does my leg hurt, not the legs of the others”“Why is that happening to me”“What if it gets worse”
![Page 23: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pain experimentExperienced ZEN Meditators and regular people have been subjected to pain shocks● Part for sensory pain processing much more
active in ZEN Meditators● Less activity in the DMN● The more disconnected the two systems the
higher the pain tolerance
![Page 24: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pain experiment - Conclusion
The more I FEEL the pain and the less I am default moding about it the more pain I can
take, the less I suffer.
When untrained people feel pain (or smell, see, hear something) it triggers
Stories - self evaluation - problem solving
![Page 25: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Mindfulness = focused attention●Only people with mind training
were able to focus their attention even in DMN
●Mindfulness can make us suffer less - even when the going gets tough
![Page 26: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Meditation changes the brain
●Any form of meditation (no matter which) changes the brain (see: http://goo.gl/AZHRZI)
●Researchers found the alternative state only in people with mind training
![Page 27: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Mindfulness changes the default state of
the brainMindfulness = non-judgemental awareness in the present moment
![Page 28: Project Phoenix - Default State of the Brain](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062905/587256991a28ab852f8b857f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Survival instinct is supposed to protect our
lifeNegative experience should not define who we are and how we
live!
Project Phoenix - Suffer less, thrive more!
