Mindful Framing
Do you have ANXIETY or STRESS?
Learn HOW to TRANSFORM them into VITAL ENERGY... with JUST 15 MINUTES in the morning
ANXIETY AND STRESS are epidemic in today’s fast-paced world. In response, many turn to meditation and related practices with limited long-term success.
Oscar Segurado, MD, PhD, understands why. Meditation worked well for thousands of years, but can’t counter the effects of life in the twenty-first century. Instead, you need a new approach to control anxiety, especially given the proven connection between stress and serious diseases, including cancer, caused by a dysfunctional immune system.
A mere fifteen minutes of mindful framing in the morning creates a solid mental framework for the rest of the day. You are the screenwriter and director of a lifestyle movie leading to a calm mind, healthy relationships and a vigorous body.
It’s a modern world. We need a modern way to transform anxiety into vital energy. Segurado offers the way: mindful framing.
Five steps towards a NEW FRAME OF MIND

Leverage your FIVE SENSES while experiencing virtual sensations
Connect with MOTHER NATURE while traveling through a fictional landscape

About the Author

ENGLISH (ver abajo español)
I am a physician scientist living in the San Francisco Bay area with decades of experience in neuroscience and immunology and over 100 scientific and news articles in top-rated journals as Nature and Lancet, also a veteran of the medical industry. I have always been interested on how the interaction of the mind with the nervous and immune systems affects our well-being, especially anxiety.
When my fast-paced life was rocked with painful events affecting two close family members, I questioned everything about my life while developing unbearable levels of anxiety. I realized that my approach to life had to change, starting a search for meaning. I had high-performing anxiety, always on edge, eager to add checkmarks to my personal and professional to-do and bucket lists. Possessions, vacations, entertainment were transitory fixes, "trivial pursuits." I was not a true caregiver for key people in my life. I was not taking proper care of my emotional and physical needs.
I gave myself this prescription: Stop doing. Let it be. Let it go. Less is more. That's when I decided to address my anxiety reflecting deeply, looking for answers inside myself, returning to my roots as a young doctor passionate for psycho neuro immunology and integrative medicine, unearthing the best or Western and Eastern medical practices... and this book was born.

Soy un médico científico con décadas de experiencia en neurociencias e inmunología y más de 100 artículos científicos en revistas de primera categoría como Nature y Lancet, también un veterano de la industria farmacéutica. Siempre me ha interesado entender como la interacción de la mente con el sistema nervioso y con el sistema inmune afecta nuestro bienestar, especialmente la ansiedad.
Escribí este libro como consecuencia de mi profundo interés por la medicina oriental, especialmente mi conocimiento de la medicina china y ayurvédica, que me llevó a desarrollar la práctica de autorreflexión y el estilo de vida NEO Chi.
Cuando mi acelerada vida se vio sacudida por eventos dolorosos que afectaron a dos familiares cercanos, todos mis parámetros vitales quedaron trastocados y alcancé niveles insoportables de ansiedad. Me di cuenta de que mi enfoque vital tenía que cambiar, comenzando por una búsqueda del sentido de mi vida. Tenía una ansiedad de alto rendimiento, siempre nervioso, ansioso de acumular logros a mi lista interminable de tareas personales y profesionales. Posesiones, vacaciones o entretenimiento fueron soluciones transitorias, eran "actividades triviales". No me estaba ocupando de mis necesidades emocionales y físicas, y en consecuencia, tampoco prestaba atención a las personas clave en mi vida.
Me receté lo siguiente: Detente. Déjalo ser. Déjalo ir. Menos, es más. Fue entonces cuando decidí abordar mi ansiedad reflexionando profundamente, buscando respuestas dentro de mí, volviendo a mis raíces como un joven médico apasionado por la psico neuro inmunología y la medicina integrativa, desenterrando las mejores prácticas médicas occidentales y orientales… y así nació este libro.
