Grace Chapel to host ‘Detox Your Brain’ video series
Blue Mountain Eagle
Grace Chapel is sponsoring a free
series of four videos by Dr. Carolyn
Leaf on how toxic thinking forms in our
brains and how to remove it.
The series will run four weeks,
beginning at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July
13, at the Prairie City church, according
to a press release.
During the video lectures, attendees
will learn how extraordinary minds are
and how to harness the power daily.
Each session will include one of
Leaf’s videos, followed by a group dis-
cussion period of the material covered
and how it might be applied in our lives.
At the end of the first session, partici-
pants will have an opportunity to pick a
toxic thought they would like to elimi-
nate in their own lives.
Attendees should expect a mixture of
scientific information on how our brains
function, how thoughts are formed and
how they can be removed.
Leaf will also talk about the spiritual
side of men and women: body, mind
and soul and how this interacts with
brains. There is no religious require-
ment to attend, and there will be no ser-
mon afterward.
Pastor Michael Harvey of Grace
Chapel is a hospice chaplain and grief
co-counselor for both hospital staff and
patients. Craige McMillan is facilitating
the series.

the series, visit drleaf.com or 21day-

vey, 541-620-4437, or McMillan,

ABOUT ‘DETOX YOUR BRAIN’
Q: Is this seminar suitable for people who may
already be in treatment with a mental health
professional?
are simple, persistent techniques that we can apply
in our thought lives, Leaf’s work shows that we can
actually eliminate the cause of the toxic thought.
A: No. It is designed for people who are function-
ing in daily life but suspect that their thought life
may be holding them back at work or at home.
Q: What are some examples of toxic thoughts?
Q: Why is there a religious tie-in?
A: Because people are a combination of the
physical and spiritual realms: body, mind and soul.
The series makes clear men and women cannot be
understood as simply physical beings.
Q: What do you mean by a nonpharmacological
approach?
A: Drugs often treat symptoms, not causes. Some-
times this is the best that can be done. But if there
A: Anger is very toxic. Eliminating anger over some
perceived injustice can yield big mental and phys-
ical benefits. Helplessness, or a victim mindset,
keeps us from making our lives better. Greed, envy
and deceit affect people in more ways than they
know.
Q: You mentioned anger, so is forgiveness also
covered?
A: Yes. Leaf will explain in an easy-to-understand
manner how anger entangles someone with the
other person. Breaking the link is what frees one
from the other’s control.
