How To Activate The Brain To Improve Your Health

Using the most current research from functional MRI brain scans can give us the edge on the most effective use of the brain. Knowing how the brain fires and wires itself can be the next level of understanding needed to create a healthier brain and develop

our inner genius.

Mid brain activation

Our brains have different electrical wave frequencies that affect learning, memory, emotions, creativity and sleep patterns. The left brain is believed to operate at Beta wave frequency (14- 30 hertz cycles per second). This is the brain we are most familiar with having developed in traditional academic settings. This is the side of the brain that deals with the logical and analytical thinking and processes words and sounds.

The right brain is the image brain and is believed to work at Alpha wave frequency (8 to 13 hertz cycles per second). It is associated with a creativity, images, emotions,music and also relaxed alert state of mind such as in meditation.

The Mid Brain, is believed to ‘act’ as a bridge between our Left and Right Brain. Having an active Mid Brain will ‘widen’ the channel of communication between the left and right brain resulting in a more balanced use of ‘Whole Brian’.

Children at birth and up to the age of about 6 years old, the mid brain is very active. Beyond the age of 6, the mid brain development slows down and gradually become less active unless stimulated through our senses.

So, how can you awaken the mid brain again?

One of the most effective ways to activate the mid brain is to use light and sound waves. Our Mind is paced by light and sound and dependent upon the frequency or vibration it will have an effect on our body.

Remember how you feel listening to the sound of waves rolling up on a beach as you watch the sunset. The sounds and vibrations found in nature are the healthiest for brain wave activity. The hustle and bustle of the Modern world has taken us away from the innate healing ability of being in nature

The average American has so many layers of Brain activation on a subconscious level that the brain can be overloaded leading to anxiety and depression.

Studies have shown that  taking time to play and have fun on a regular basis is a must for long term mental and brain health. Take the time to schedule time in nature and your brain will be more relaxed, and feel more secure in daily life.
