What’s Your Release? Completing The StressWize Guide – Questionnaire 1: we are more aware of our human biology and stress, and our vulnerability to mind programming and social conditioning, exercising our old fear / reactive caveman software and the amygdala part of the brain can lead us to Freeze, Flight, Fight and Fawn, switching off the right brain, we can become more left brain dominant. Activating Human Technology > Switch On Your Heart-Mind Intelligence: When we have a positive release for stress through exercise and movement, a martial arts just like boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, developing coordination and mind-body connection, along with a healthy lifestyle, meditation and breathe work, we can activate our human technology, switching on our heart-mind intelligence, upgrading our Bright Response Software on our internal hard drive and operating system.
Learning to control, release and channel emotional stress and physical energy positively, improving our ability to respond – responsibility, we can process through our thoughts, feelings and emotions more successfully, improving physical wellbeing and positive mental strength, releasing the power within for life, education, athletics and sports.
BoxWize Skills Program – 1997 > 2024: Whilst developing my BoxWize concept since 1997, I started incorporating brain gym movement patterns in to my skills system, using physical coordination to alternatively cross over from the left and right side of the body. Learning to Switch On, Tune In > Release & Recharge: Learning to switch right and left base, improving footwork, technique, skills, drills and mind-body connection, switching on and tuning in, improving left, right and whole brain function. The brain gym integrated and coordinated approach to learning, can enhance high-level brain cognitive functions such as executive functions (flexible thinking, problem-solving, planning, organizing, working memory), sensory skills, processing speed, attention, and long-term memory. Human Technology – Download > Ground > Integrate: When we learn new skills, we can listen cognitively, taking in the information, then visually we can see, kinaesthetically feeling, sensing and physically downloading, going through the process to learn. Then grounding and integrating the skills, developing a strong a foundation for life.
We Have 3 Brains: The Head, Head-Mind, Gut Instinct: New studies also show that we have 3 brains that can all synergistically work together. The Head: Is the master of processes such as thinking, perception, cognition and language. The Heart: Is where we feel emotion, where we intrinsically process our deep emotions, develop our values and the way we feel about relationships. The Heart based language center’s on “I feel” or on the expression of the deep emotions and values that lie in the heart brain.
The Gut Instinct: Here we find our core identity, also responsible for safety and protection. Our gut is extremely important in upholding our immune system, but it also takes care of self-preservation, fear, anxiety, mobility and action. We can experience our gut instinct when we have a gut feeling, tuning into a situation, picking up negative or positive vibes or making an important decision from a gut feeling.
Movement Is Medicine – Get High On Your Own Supply: Movement is like medicine and you can learn to high on your own supply, activating our natural neuro feel good chemicals, pushing through a great workout, generating the natural high of endorphins that boost our positive energy to exercise a healthier lifestyle, eating good we get our serotonin, a positive mood stabilizer. With positive energy for life we can work through the challenges of life, accessing dopamine, the reward chemical. When we feel more alive and passionate about life, oxytocin, ‘the love hormone’, levels go up, we feel more connected, and our relationships with friends and loved ones, learning to get in the driving seat and take control of life.
Brain Waves: Our brain waves are powerful in driving our mood and perspective for the day, a great part of our everyday life and control. Beta Brainwaves are dominant in our waking state, creating a heightened state of alertness for problem solving, however when experiencing high levels of stress, too much time on a beta wavelength can easily lead to anxiety and the inability to relax. Alpha Brainwaves can occur when we are calm and in-the-moment, when our thoughts are flowing, helping to learn our learning abilities, more so when we are inspired and not being negatively programmed.
Theta Brainwaves are more common in infants and experienced by children when they are in their inner-sense, the world of imagination, intuition and the creative flow, free from the external world of over thinking and mind programming. Delta Brainwaves can be experienced in very deep transcendental meditation, also associated with the deepest levels of relaxation and restorative, healing and sleep, and can be reached through sound healing frequencies. With Gamma Brainwaves, we can feel a heightened awareness, peak focus and expanded consciousness. Allowing us to be actively engaged in creative problem solving, mental processing, helping us to shift and change our perspective. The gateway from alpha to theta is recognized as the ‘zone’, also known as the flow state. We can be on different brainwaves at different times throughout the day, often connecting with people who are on the same wavelength.
Stress: Amygdala brain > Prefrontal cortex > Heart-mind intelligence: The truth is in today’s world there is no wooly mammoth just different levels of intensity, stress and emotions to manage. When experiencing the demands, pressures, challenges or issues, when the reactive amygdala part of the brain senses no danger, just a process, it relaxes opening a gateway to the prefrontal cortex for critical thinking, allowing you to stay in control, managing our hypothalamus – our emotional regulator, preventing the adrenalin and cortisol to flood in to our endocrine system, with our parasympathetic response system staying calm. More present and in the moment, open to feeling, sensing and processing through our thoughts, feelings and emotions, energy in motion, developing emotional awareness and our ability to respond using heart-mind intelligence.
Human Technology > The Laptop Analogy: Imagine the screen of the laptop is like our conscious mind, and under the keyboard is our internal hard drive and operating system, downloading information, data, images and videos that can impact and powerfully influence our everyday life. When we learn to keep active, switched on and tuned in, our operating system is activated, making sure our virus protection from external negative influences is on, our energy in motion, managing our thoughts, feelings and emotions. Going through the process, learning to chuck out the trash, delete, delete, upgrading our bright response software on your internal hard drive, improving our ability to respond. Using our emotional awareness, we can process and clear old files, difficult experiences from our past, healing trauma, detaching old emotions, letting go, learning to stay in our power, developing our heart mind intelligence.
