Are you ready?
- To improve your mental focus?
- To ‘think’ with your whole brain?
- To shift your system out of ‘fight or flight’, and into ‘growth and healing’.
Yes?
Balance your cortices 1-3 times per day.
(It only takes 2 minutes!)
Your brain is like the CEO of your whole body/mind! It is involved in everything you do. If you improve the health of your brain, you improve the health of your entire body and brain.
BodyTalk is a healthcare system that works with to harmonize the body on all levels. The premise is that the body is designed to heal itself, which is does through communication. BodyTalk works to improve the communication systems within the body so that it can be more efficient and heal itself more effectively.
Balancing the cortices moves the body and mind out of ‘fight or flight’ (sympathetic) and into ‘growth and healing‘ (parasympathetic). We often get stuck in flight or flight which causes great stress to the body, and breaks sown those communication pathways in the body. It’s like too many plugs are plugged in and our circuits ‘blow’. This causes us to get stuck in a stressful state, and from this place, everything is more difficult- including healing.
Balancing the cortices also balanced the right/left brain which is fundamental for a healthy body and mind.
The right brain is the more intuitive side, imagination and it can work holistically- looking at the big picture. It is responsible for our creativity and and artistic abilities. The left brain is responsible for our reasoning, logic and thought. It looks at the details and works in a linear way therefor it is slower. It is our knowledge and our learned behaviors.
Most people spend most of their time in their left brain, with periods in the right brain. Usually it is inconsistent and we will flip flop between the two or spend most time in just the left brian. What we would like is to have both sides of the brain working together to provide us with the ability to connect to the big pictures whilst knowing the details, have logic AND intuition, be able to be aware of where we’re going at the same time as knowing the steps to take….
Balancing the cortices daily starts to bring the body and brain back to a state of health where we can naturally move between different events without getting stuck in fight or flight and start to live using our whole brain.
I highly recommend balancing your cortices in the morning when you wake up, before you go to sleep, and if you have any kind of shock or trauma. If you have an accident, a headache, cut yourself, are stressed out, receive some bad news… tap out your cortices and watch how you relax and return to a place where the body can start healing. Get out of shock, and start healing!
Have you done it for a week? A month? A year?
