WEEKLY COACHING TIP #
112
EXPLORING THE POWER OF YOUR MIND (1) I
invite you to take a journey which will allow you to discover how your
mind works and unleash its real power.
To be honest,
I dont know exactly how far this journey will take us
as I haven't been there yet, myself.
All I know is
it will be full of learning, encounter and discovery, but the kind of stuff
you dont learn in schools,
such as:
Over the last
5 years, Ive learnt a lot about the mind, however Ive always felt like
a piece was missing.
I feel a bit
like Christopher Columbus, he was convinced
theres was something else out there and what
he finally discovered was even beyond his expectations.
3 weeks ago,
an unusual series of events led me to meet a man (Peter) who lives on
the other side of the planet
This man told
me there is a place where people:
Peter got my
attention and after hearing him talking for 3 hours about this place, I
decided I wanted to explore it more fully.
Peter will be
our skipper. I will be your captain. You are the guest passenger.
Episode
1: Discover the Ship / Your
Brain Rhythms
Welcome to
our ship: The Genius.
It has 4 main
rooms, each representing one of the states our brain can be in: Alpha, Beta,
Theta, Delta
During the
journey you will be able to stay in any of these rooms.
But before we
look at what look at what they represent, a little bit of background first.
In 1929 Hans
Berger invented the EEG machine to measure the brain activity. Since then,
lots of research has been done and we have come a long way in discovering
just how powerful our brains are.
We
now know that the brain is an electrochemical organ; researchers have
speculated that a fully functioning brain can generate as much as 10 watts
of electrical power. Even though this electrical power is very limited, it
does occur in very specific ways that are characteristic of the human
brain. However,
most people still do not fully understand how their brain works, I mean
they don't teach you this at school, do they?
3.5 to 7
cycles a second. Associated with
emotion, intense pleasure and pain, unusual inspiration. It's around 60% of
our sleep time. A person who has taken time off from a task and
begins to daydream is often in this
state.
ALPHA
7 to
14 cycles per second. Your mind is free of
worry. Often called the 'Superconscious'. Children are in Alpha
for the first 4 years of their life. Next time you see a small child,
just look at how they are..
BETA
Above
14 cycles per second. Associated
with logical analysis, reasoning, thinking, worry, fear, doubt, scepticism,
sarcasm and logic.
Sound
familiar? Most adults spend
about 90% of their waking day in it.
So
just to get your brain ticking... a
few questions for you to ponder for next
week when we go into these states a lot deeper.
Please
invite people to join us
in our journey to Discover the
Power of Your Mind!
