How to Master the Master System

When I ask you to enter the 3 doorways of moving, feeding, and talking to your brain, I don't typically emphasize one over the other.  

What are the 3 Doorways?

What is Move Your Brain, Feed Your Brain, Talk to Your Brain?


Reach Your Goals Faster
All three work together.  But talking to your brain first helps you reach your goals faster.  Mainly, you need to understand how the brain prioritizes its responses so you can give your brain and body the best self care.

We know the stress response serves a purpose, but it easily gets out of balance leading to an energy crisis and poor health.  

The body-mind partnership is intertwined.  Our emotions can bring us health by initiating healing endorphins or damaging stress hormones, depending on the emotional state we are in.  Also, any bodily damage, deficiency, or pain will incite emotional stress, as well.  We don't worry about which one came first.  We want to balance all that our body experiences.  

When we understand which part of the nervous system is active, (because they both can't occur together) we can make better decisions that support our overall healing.  

Our subconscious, in it's efficiency, takes an habitual, auto-pilot control during 95% of our day.  Which pattern do you think is more prominent in your life?  And would you like to strike a different balance?

Functional approaches are drug free and surgery free.  A symptom can be considered a sign of an "exhausted police force," meaning an

How Outside Stress Disrupts Your Inner Life

Bruce Lipton very eloquently explains how the body cannot be in a state of growth and defense at the same time. I encourage you to check out his videos and newsletters online.  He is a great story teller who can convey meaningful ways to build up your life.  So, let me delve into the topic and see how I do.... There are times when stressful events happen in our lives and the body has to shift into self preservation mode.  There is heightened awareness of a possible life threatening issue that becomes top priority to the brain and body. Our problem is that we let everyday modern drama creep into our lives on overload.  They are not real threats, but the body still perceives them as real.  The adrenal glands jump into action with stress hormones directing the heart to ramp up blood supply to the arms and legs. During this time, blood is no longer readily available to the prefrontal cortex of your brain or your abdomen.  This means your thinking and problem solving energies are drai
