Don't get stuck that I'm only using 10% of my brain that story is false
You can use a hundred percent. There are many different ways to engage and activate the whole brain
From the way we live in our consciousness. Can you distinguish a
conscious manifestation
versus a real manifestation
Did I just create something in my head or was that actually real what I just saw?
Biologically, you'll never know the difference
We could all be sitting here right now, but we're actually this is a long time ago. We're not even here right now
This isn't even the real moment. How do I know it's real?
Well, I see a nice feeling I smell it and I touch I go. Yeah go to sleep and in your dream state
Your biology will be activated by your brain
Your sensory nervous system will experience what you've already done before and to your sleep state
Can you tell if it was a real state or a dream state? Not in your sleep? Wow, the conundrum of quantum physics?
We don't know where we are
We're having to pick this probable moment and be in this probable moment at the same time yet according to quantum mechanics
We could have other probable instantaneous moments right now where we're not even in this reality. We're in another reality
which reality we in we say well, it's someone than biologically sensing and I'm going
biologically sensing in your dream or biologically sensing in real life
The answer is you can't tell and that's the most exciting part
Because it really leaves open an understanding how we go back and change the past
Or at the current moment we can change the future we can do more than just
Follow our noses into the next minute we can rewrite the whole story again and again and again
We've all heard that. Yes, we're only using 10% of our brain boy if we could use all the rest of it
We'd be super smart. But hey, that's all we use
Firstly where did that number come from 10% a long time ago when putting the body together through an understanding of histology and the cells
That make up organs a study of the brain revealed one very important fact
And that is only 10% of the brain was made up of neurons
90% of the cells in the brain were not neurons
But they were called supporting or connective tissue and given the name glial cells
well
What's really interesting about that is in the neuron?
principle the neuron doctrine it was believed that the neurons were the functional cells of the brain and
The glial cells were more or less just support well then by definition right away
It says then you're only using 10% of your brain because that's all the the neurons comprised in the brain 10%
For a long time the glial cells again were thought to be just like connective tissue support
Physically and nutritionally the neurons but over the last number of decades what we started to find
His sister was a misunderstanding about glial cells that glial cells are a lot more important and neural function than just physical support
glial cells can inhibit or activate neurons glial cells connect to neurons
glial cells can control the activity of neurons
So all of a sudden these glial cells which were looked at as just passive cells in the brain
Turn out to be
Actually quite functional and integrating the nature of how the brain works and a way of looking at it in a simple analogy
consider that the neurons are nouns in a sentence and
That the glial cells are the verbs and the adjectives and the adverb the modifiers of all the nouns
so the glial cells create a
fulfilment of a picture so neurons are like a stick figure and
When you add the glial cells you fill out the nature of the whole human
So glial cells become a very functional integrated part of all neuronal activity
so the concept of the neuron doctrine that said only neurons are involved with
Functioning and the nervous system. It turns out that glial cells are as well
So now we're not dealing with 10% of the brain. We're dealing with a hundred percent of the brain
Yes, you have access to a hundred percent of your brain all of the time
But does that mean that we actually use the whole brain all of the time and answer's no
because what we start to find out is when we start to live in patterns and in habits that what happens is we just
Activate certain neuronal pathways that are habitual pathways and as a result
These are the pathways that have preference in our everyday life
but if you can engage whole brain activity
You can enhance your consciousness and your awareness and your ability to control your life
So basically says that we can become whole brain when we start to think holistically instead of just playing
Recurrent programs that play over and over again and activate the same pathways now
We're beginning to find out there are many different ways to engage in activate the whole brain
some of them involves simple
Exercises such as something called brain gym and brain gym is a very interesting exercise of the body and the nervous system
integration in this way
My right hand is controlled by my left hemisphere
My left hand it controlled by my right hemisphere
But here's an interesting story if my right hand controlled by my left hemisphere
crosses the midline
Then it simultaneously gets picked up by the other hemisphere because now it's in that territory as well
So when you cross your arms and when you cross your legs
What you're doing is causing the right and the left hemispheres to work together in harmony
When we are activating brain
Synchronization where right and left hemispheres are engaged together simultaneously
It activates something like super learning with both hemispheres working together
We have much more superior characteristics of neural function
However, after age seven and eight we start to express what is called brain dominance meaning during the day
We don't have synchronization of both phears during the day. It's like a wave form sometimes
We're more in the left hemisphere sometimes for more on the right then it goes back to the left and back to the right
So that we're cycling through one hemisphere at a time
This is called brain dominance where one hemisphere is dominant over the other hemisphere
Integrating our lives is very difficult in brain dominance for simple reason
That's been suggested our left hemisphere is based on logic and details
Our right hemisphere is actually associated
with emotions and wholeness and
This becomes very important because if you're only looking with your left hemisphere, then all the logic things make sense
but there's no emotional component to it and
Reverse if you're in the right hemisphere, you get emotionally tied up but the logic drops out
Well, this happens to us ever since the time. We were eight through our adult life
If you can get both hemispheres to be in sync hemi-sync
Then you're engaging logic and emotions at the same time
That opens up a window for super learning opportunities where you can download information very very quickly very fast
But it also opens up a whole wide range of thinking that includes an emotional component as well as an intellectual component
Which is necessary to fulfill a whole picture
So if you're operating from brain dominance, you're actually shutting off one component of your nervous system at that time
So if you do an exercise like brain gym where you're involved with crossing your arms and your legs
When you that you start to integrate both very interestingly when we have hemi-sync were much more calm
collected and able to really
Express neurological functions that are very fully supporting of ourselves and this is why it's very interesting when you go home and relax at night
Sometimes you find yourself with your ankles crossed over each other
Just sitting in your chair without even knowing what you're doing by crossing your ankles
You're actually engaging a whole brain process
So if you're stressed for example during the day or you just want to relax when you go home at night
crossing your arms and legs
Actually engages both hemispheres which calms the system down but engages a whole brain process
So you become much more effective in your relaxed state
So if you're having a tough moment during the day just take a moment and cross your arms and legs
Hold them together
and just wait for about three or four minutes and you'll start to feel a calmness over coming and in this calmness your
Neurological functions will be totally advanced when we start to operate from patterns that are replayed everyday
We start to express very specific pathways that are reused over and over and over again
And as a result
we actually shut down a large amount of functioning of the brain and just
Go through the habit the patterns that replay themselves over and over again
So basically what you really have to understand is this we can use 100% of the brain
But if we play the same patterns over and over again, we don't need to use a hundred percent of the brain
So I just like to suggest that you know
You start to recognize that you can have hemi-sync where you can get right and left hemispheres to engage together and stay conscious
You are using 100% of your brain activity
and when you do that
you'll also find that your life is easier more harmonious and
healthier because when you're using your full nervous system
It will support your life and enhance your growth and this becomes
Important so don't get stuck that I'm only using 10% of my brain. That story is false
You can use a hundred percent and it's available to us and basically all you have to understand
Is this stay conscious stay mindful and stop playing the same patterns over and over again?
Because that opens up an opportunity to create new behavior when you stop playing the programs
