Brain Management A Stragegy for Difficult Times

Our experience starts in our brain. What we are aware of how we think, feel, and how we respond (or react) to life & work situations depends on the combination of brainwave patterns at any given time. For example, our brains function very differently when multi-tasking than when engaged in creative work. Understanding how our brains function and learning how to manage our brain patterns gives us the freedom to have responsible choice over our intellectual and emotional states of consciousness at any given time.

This capacity to manage our brain state is even more important in our current economic climate. In times of rapid change, stress, or uncertainty, the portion of our brain called the Amygdala activates, generating a freeze, fight, or flight response. While this is essential for physical survival it works against the very response we may need - resourcefulness and creativity. Whether we are in stressful situations or not, we can influence our brainwave patterns to induce the state most suited to the situation at hand. High performing athletes know this well and have practices to induce the state of focus, intuition, or reflective action needed to excel.

We’ll introduce a simple technique which uses the natural process of our brain and body to enter a more relaxed, creative, open, and centered state by:

Shifting to lower brain frequencies, with greater access to our creativity and intuition
Slowing our brainwaves and accessing a more relaxed state
Releasing mood elevating hormones and stimulating our ability of our body to renew itself
