Thought control is easier than you might imagine.
It sounds a bit New Age. However, there is a mysterious method of thought control you can learn that seems to boost brain power. No one quite knows how it works, and it is hard to describe exactly how to do it: it’s not relaxation or concentration. It’s more to do with a state of mind.
And so, the other day when my friend broached on the subject of ‘neuro feedback’, I was wondering what should be the focus of my blog post today. That’s when ‘neuro feedback’ hit me – it offers everything for everyone.
The concept works by showing people a real-time measure of some seemingly uncontrollable aspect of their physiology – say, heart rate – and encouraging them to try and change it. Astonishingly, many patients found that they could, though only rarely could they describe how they did it.
So how can you change anything about yourself? Just picture this. You are playing a video game where your car is running at a certain speed. Now make the car go faster using only your mind. Many have managed to do so, and seemed to have become more alert and focused and played better on the gaming console.
I did something similar. I pricked myself with a sharp instrument, but didn’t feel pain as much. I imagined the activity of the ‘pain centres’ in my brain and changed their pattern to make myself immune to pain. It was a sort of self hypnosis, but it worked and that’s what mattered.
There are hints that this method could boost creativity, enhance our orgasms, give shy people more confidence, lift low moods, alter the balance between left and right brain activity, and alter personality traits.
All this by the power of thought.
