Brain Awareness

Brain Awareness Week

Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is a global campaign created to increase awareness about the brain and how the brain contributes to overall wellbeing. The campaign intends to make public the research of organizations worldwide and to share brain research in lectures, presentations, exhibitions, social media, and displays at libraries, community centers, classes and workshops. For information about the brain’s relationship to autism spectrum disorders, see MindSpec’s website, and see MindSpec’s Online Reading Room designed for parents and caregivers of individuals with (ASD) . For information about how brain function relates to brain structure and how both can be shaped by the environment, see Brain Biology . See Fact Sheets related to questions and information about the brain. For 2019, BAW was March 11-17.

Brain Wave Morphing and Meditation

Though meditation comes naturally to some, for others there is a learning process required to reach deep meditative states influential to our well-being. To accelerate the learning process, neurofeedback and technology facilitate a meditative practice by accelerating our ability to control thought processing.  In doing so, we begin to utilize our natural ability to stop stressful external thoughts influenced by the environment, in order to switch to inner reflection influenced by an energetic life force. Using this morphing methodology, one learns to consciously morph neural signaling from high frequency beta activity to low frequency alpha and theta activity that is coherently streamed from the right and left hemispheres of the brain. When these conditions are met in the brain, a well-being experience occurs.

Transformative Process

Meditation and meditative disciplines like yoga have the potential to transform preventative health care practices by demonstrating the power the mind has over the brain, which regulates the physical body. Quieting the mind from stressful, anxious, repetitive thoughts opens chakra centers and meridians in the body, allowing us to receive and send healing energy from the earth and the universe.  Further expansion of our consciousness activates self-healing capabilities, enabling us to realize and develop innate human capabilities to facilitate self-regulation of our personal health and well-being in order to better prepare for the future we would like to behold, since once again the times need to be changing.
