That person starts to feel incredibly whole, and coherence,
when you have waves that are coherent, when they build or interfere with each other,
their waves get bigger and the higher the amplitude of the wave,
the higher the energy in the brain,
and all of a sudden the person starts to become very relaxed
and no longer stressed in a program, and kind of alert and awake.
We do a lot of studies on brain coherence and heart coherence.
And let's talk about what it's not.
When there's an emergency,
or when we're aroused by some threat or some condition in our life,
or we can't predict an outcome, we can't control an outcome,
we have the perception that something in our world could possibly get worse,
we switch on that primitive nervous system. That fight or flight nervous system.
And now the game is fight, run or hide.
The problem is, with human beings, when we're at it, we feel like a loss of control.
Our brain all of a sudden tries to control everything in our life.
So every person, every object, every thing, every place,
every experience that you've ever had is mapped in your neocortex.
So the arousal of the stress hormones
drives the brain into a very high brain wave state called high beta.
But then as you shift your attention from one meeting to another meeting,
to another text, to another person, to another thing, to another place you have to go,
every one of those different elements has a neurological network in the brain.
So, like a lightning storm in the clouds, the brain starts firing out of order.
It starts firing incoherently.
And when the brain is incoherent, we're incoherent.
And so, think about when we are stressed,
most common thing that people do is they overfocus.
They narrow their focus on whatever it is that's driving them to pay attention to it.
And so then the act of paying attention to the problem
is actually driving the brain further out of balance.
And we've studied this. When you analyze that problem,
that circumstance, that condition within the emotion that you are feeling,
derived by the hormones of stress,
you'll make your brain worse 100% of the time.
Because the over-analysis is driving it further into a higher thinking,
higher beta brainwave state.
So this kind of narrow focus
is what causes the brain to be a house divided against itself.
So we thought, well, why don't we do the opposite?
Why instead of narrowing our focus on the cause,
something physical, something material,
because the hormones of stress actually heighten the senses
and cause us to become materialists, so matter is the issue when there's survival,
it's whatever's around the corner, it's whatever is going to happen,
so we said, okay, let's teach people something else.
Let's teach them how to broaden their focus.
And as they broaden their focus and take their attention off of everything material
and everything known, and focus on space. Focus on nothing.
The act of doing that actually starts slowing down the analytical mind.
You can't analyze when you're sensing.
And it starts to change the person's brain waves
into a slower brain wave pattern.
And so now as you start slowing your brain waves from that high beta,
you start slowing down, you're shifting gears, you're going into a midrange beta,
then you're going into a low-level beta, and then all of a sudden you get into alpha.
Now, alpha, when you're in alpha,
the voice in your head, the critic in your mind goes away.
That voice that's talking to you stops. And the brain tends to see in images, in pictures.
That's the imaginary state. That's the creative state.
And in alpha, when you're out of survival, you're looking for answers, you're creative,
you're looking for new ways of doing things.
So when they broaden their focus, not only do they move into alpha,
but all of a sudden we start seeing those different compartments of the brain
that were once subdivided, all of a sudden starting to unify.
Different communities of neurons that were fragmented, start to synchronize.
So what sinks in the brain, links in the brain.
So when you see the front of the brain talking to the back of the brain,
the right side of the brain talking to the left side of the brain,
you start knowing something good is starting to happen
and the person is starting to create more order. So, when you see those
psychic union of two hemispheres coming together, the polarity.
That person starts to feel incredibly whole, and coherence,
when you have waves that are coherent, when they build or interfere with each other,
their waves get bigger and the higher the amplitude of the wave,
the higher the energy in the brain,
and all of a sudden the person starts to become very relaxed
and no longer stressed in a program, and kind of alert and awake.
