Who is the most childish ? Adults or Children …?
Posted by: | Comments….I think its the adults.
In the introduction of his Sedona Method course Hale Dwoskin said that children do not come here to learn but to teach.
Nap for boosting brain learning power , really ?
Posted by: | CommentsAccording to a BBC story Volunteers who slept for 90 minutes during the day did better at cognitive tests than those who were kept awake. The results were presented at a conference in California. A UK-based expert said it was hard to separate the pure “memory boosting” effects of sleep from those of simply being less tired.
he wealth of study into the science of sleep in recent years has so far failed to come up with conclusive evidence as to the value of a quick “siesta” during the day. The latest study, from the University of California at Berkeley, suggests that the brain may need sleep to process short-term memories, creating “space” for new facts to be learned.
In their experiment, 39 healthy adults were given a hard learning task in the morning – with broadly similar results, before half of them were sent for their siesta. When the tests were repeated, the nappers outperformed those who had carried on without sleep.
Checks on brain electrical activity suggested that this process might be happening in a sleep phase between deep sleep, and dreaming sleep, called stage 2 non-rapid eye movement sleep, when fact-based memories are moved from “temporary storage” in the brain’s hippocampus to another area called the pre-frontal cortex.
Brain ‘inbox’
Dr Matthew Walker, who led the study, reported at the AAAS conference in San Diego, said: “Sleep not only rights the wrong of prolonged wakefulness, but, at a neurocognitive level, it moves you beyond where you were before you took a nap.
Wendi Friesen at Wendi.com has a CD called Power Nap, it has 3 tracks using hypnosis and binaural beats to create power nap that leave you refreshed after. You can learn more on her site.
Juggling promotes whole brain thinking
Posted by: | CommentsMore than 30 years ago, Michael Gelb author of “How to think like Leonardo Da Vinci” found out that juggling promotes whole brain thinking. He found out that notably by studying Leonardo Da Vinci who was himself a juggler. A bit late scientists today are discovering that juggling “enhance” the brain. So new ?
(BBC)In the journal, Nature Neuroscience, the scientists say they saw a 5% increase in white matter – the cabling network of the brain.
The people who took part in the study were trained for six weeks and had brain scans before and after. Long term it could aid treatments for diseases like multiple sclerosis.
Diffusion MRI
The team from Oxford’s Department of Clinical Neurology used a diffusion MRI which is able to measure the movement of water molecules in the tissues of the brain.
Mind map your training program
Posted by: | CommentsOften people start a training program and after a couple of weeks, they wonder, why they added a particular exercise in the program or after a couples of weeks or months, they are seduced by some techniques and they implement them in their training program , their program got distorted and they lose the purpose and the focus on what they wanted to achieve in the beginning.
There is a solution to that. It is to do a mind map of your training program not only you will have a global view of your training program and you will see how all the elements fit together. There is another added benefit it is the one of creativity.
Let say that you are training with Silva ESP Ultramind course and you want to master it. You write in the center of a large sheet of paper “Mastery of Silva ESP Ultramind”, then you do one branch called “Silva” from that branch you could connect to all the books that Jose Silva and his associates wrote reading them, is certainly good for your goal of mastery.
Another branch is called “ESP” , if you know that most ESP trainings rely on three areas visualization, relaxation and concentration that can be the sub-branches, now, your creativity can kick in. “visualization” well why not before you open your fridge visualize what is inside this is a fun short visualization and concentration drill that only take 5 seconds or less. You can come up with many more short exercises, search in your daily life for inspiration. Read More→
