Optimum Brain

There is much about the Brain that simply is not yet known and may never be known. However, due to advances in imaging technology and other technological breakthroughs, we know a great deal more than we did as little as five years ago.

We now know that the adult Brain actually creates new Brain Cells, even into old age. For decades it was believed that new Neurons were not created after infancy. We know that the average adult Brain contains over 100 billion Neurons and that each Neuron has tens of thousands of connections or relationships with other Neurons. This means that there are trillions of connections between Neurons. We know that the Brain is quite plastic, that it is constantly creating new connections between Neurons as a result of experiences and learning. As far as we know, the Human Brain is the most complex mechanism on planet earth. We also know from studies of Savants, that the Brain has vast powers that we have not even begun to explore. For practical purposes, the power of the Human Brain is nearly infinite.

From a Brain State Training perspective, we have learned that most people are only using a small percentage of the power of their Brains. For example, we can see in the Brain Wave patterns that either there is either too much Delta, Theta, or Alpha activity in the Frontal Lobes in relation to the Beta Wave activity, or the Neural Networks are just not present enough to create adequate Beta in the Frontal Lobes, as is the case with ADD/ADHD. Or there is too much Beta Activity in the Temporal Lobes, creating a feeling of anxiety. There could be too much Beta and not enough Alpha in the Parietal Lobes, causing a lack of Joy and a sense of Separateness.

In our training, we see that everyone can benefit from training the Brain toward Balance and Harmony. An analogy is that of an 8 cylinder auto engine with 4 pistons on each side. If the pistons do not fire in the proper sequence, in a balanced and harmonious way, the engine runs out of sync and with much less power than it has potentially. In a like manner, there must be a balance between the two hemispheres of the Brain. All parts of the Brain must work together in order to create the most Brain Power. The Brain must control all the functions of the Body and process all of the stimuli coming in, at the rate of thousands of bits of information per second. It takes a great deal of energy to do all that the Brain must do at every moment. If the Brain is operating on partial power, the immune system could be depressed, and we are vulnerable to disease.

In order to have an Optimum Brain, we must first help it create the Neuro-Nets which allow it to function in a Balanced and Harmonized way. There are other ways to achieve this such as psychotherapy, meditation, and spiritual practice. But these methods can take a long time. One of the fastest, most efficient ways to create an Optimum Brain is through Brain State Training. In conjunction with Brain State Training, there should be good Nutrition, regular cardio-vascular Exercise and the right Supplementation for the Brain. All these combined can create an Optimum Brain.
