Unlocking the Magic of Your Mind: Emotional Healing and Neuroplasticity
By the time we are 8 years old, the brain is fully mapped with Neuro pathways connected from experiences and influences going back to when we are a fetus in the womb. These synapsis in the brain are created by a desire to fulfill chemical needs and avoid pain. We create coping mechanisms and belief systems that filter from the conscious to the unconscious of our brain. Many of these ideas we create don't make sense, don't offer ideal solutions, and can be counterproductive to the healthy patterns we are trying to create as adults.
Here is a summary of the episode's main points and the resources you can find to help rewire your brain:
"In our fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook the incredible power that lies within our own minds. Today, we delve into this fascinating topic with emotional healer Courtney Pearl, who masterfully combines the realms of science and magic to help us understand our brains better.
The heart of the episode focuses on the brain's incredible ability to rewire itself, a concept known as neuroplasticity. Courtney explains that our brains begin mapping neural pathways as early as the womb, influenced by our mother's experiences. By the time we are eight years old, our brain is fully mapped, creating a blueprint that guides our behaviors and responses.
However, this blueprint is not set in stone. Courtney shares insights from the Fly Program and the Neuro Auto Associate Programming (NAAP) model, which offer concrete evidence that we can reprogram our brains. This involves understanding our six basic human needs—certainty, variety, love, significance, growth, and contribution—and how they drive our behaviors.
One of the most compelling parts of the episode is Courtney's discussion on the confined versus free state of mind. In a confined state, our brain processes data at a mere 40 bits per second, significantly slowing our ability to think and solve problems. Conversely, in a free state, our brain can process data at an astonishing 40,000 bits per second, allowing us to remain calm, creative, and solution-oriented.
Courtney's personal anecdotes about her time as a teacher in Arizona, sandwiched between two very different Shannons, provide a relatable and heartwarming backdrop to the scientific concepts discussed. She emphasizes the importance of emotional awareness and mindfulness, not just for children but for adults seeking to heal and grow.
The episode concludes with practical advice on how to start reprogramming your brain. Courtney encourages listeners to seek help from programs like Fly and to consider emotional processing techniques. She also invites her audience to connect with her on social media for further insights and support.
The Integrative Processing Technique or IPT emotional process service I provide in Prism Healing is highly effective in rewiring the brain. It requires repetition, the introduction of new ideas for solutions, an understanding of the Self, and an Emotional connection or attachment to those new ideas. The IPT process provides that.
Whether you're a skeptic or a believer in the power of the mind, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how to harness your brain's potential for a more fulfilling life. So, take a moment to slow down, listen, and discover the magic within you.
