Its been a few weeks since my last entry. We were in Tennessee during the last half of August visiting our eldest son and his family who have moved there from Florida (it was a great trip). Weve been home for a week - and winters arrived! Believe it or not, its snowing heavily today - and its only the 8th of September! :( I went into MindScape earlier this morning to cheer myself up in counteraction to this dismal weather, when I had a stroke of insight. When I am in my Workshop, I feel happy and full of gratitude for things exactly as they are. And why is this? Because my brain goes into a gamma wave state. We usually talk about the brain going into the alpha state when we are in MindScape and that is true - but we also generate gamma brain waves and they eventually take over. Gamma waves originate in the thalamus and then move backwards and forwards involving the whole brain, linking all parts. The scientific name for this is neural synchrony. It results in a high level of functioning in the brain. It affects memory, learning, and our emotions. It increases the neural activity in the left pre-frontal cortex (the center for self-control, happiness and compassion) while at the same time decreasing the activity in the amygdala complexes (reducing the sympathetic fight/flight response). This means that depression disappears, we feel happier, more compassionate, and more at peace with ourselves and the world. It has even been suggested that gamma brain waves unite us with the frequency of universal consciousness! In BodyTalk, when we are doing sessions for our clients, we emphasize being in the zone to maximize our effectiveness as practitioners. This is the same as being in the gamma brain wave state. We can increase our brains gamma waves by going into MindScape and working with our clients from compassion. Studies have proven that love and compassion and gamma waves are interrelated. So when we love what we are doing and we are immersed in what we love, when we are in the zone and the gamma waves are flowing, then alls right with the world! Let it snow! :)
