Carl’s Journey > Discovering The Left and Right Brain Hemisphere’s – Switching On!

Carl Heath – Former Professional Athlete, Sportsman, Coach and Mentor With Over 35 Year’s Experience. Studying Stress, Human Biology and Behaviour for Over 28 Years, Creating My Concept Human Technology.

Founder of The EnergyWize University Of Life in 2018, now based in the UK. Self Publishing my first book in 2022. 2023 – 2026, co creator of the Empower 2 Recover Foundation, lived experienced speaker, becoming an E2RF International lead. In 2025, I co-created The GRC Project, the ‘Global Recovery Community’ Online Ecosystem, now in process, proactive in supporting mental health, addiction prevention and recovery.

Born In Hull, UK, In 1968: Separated through family difficulties, I grew up in children’s home from the age of 6 to 15 (1974-1983). 10 – 12 of us living in a big house. Growing up in a different world, struggling to manage the stress, fear, trauma and emotional confusion, the inability to process through life experience. Switching off in my last year at school I left with no qualifications and direction, soon to be caught up in the negative influences of life on the street. Going through depression, I reconnected with long distance running and playing soccer, instilled in me through school. Experiencing a mental breakdown and emotional break through around the age of 17-18, 1985/86, I connected to the universal flow of potential that would guide me through life – which I share in my first self-published book, ‘Activating Flow’. Taking control, I would go on a journey of healing and self-discovery, taking the journey from the head back to the heart. With many challenges ahead, by the age of 19 I was playing semi-professional soccer but soon got caught up in the ecstasy of dance and drug culture, between the age of 20 and 24, I went through two more mental break downs and emotional breakthroughs. Coaching soccer in the UK, America and Australia over the years, in 1994, I started Boxing amateur. Moving on to fight professional, I experienced my greatest shift. In 1997, finding my calling, I transitioned from boxing to work in alternative learning, at a school for youth experiencing emotional and challenging behaviour.

1997: BoxWize Skills + Brain Gym – Switch On, Tune In:  Working in alternative I started developing my BoxWize Skills System, teaching the boxing fundamentals with no contact. Learning to control, release and channel emotional stress and physical energy positively, developing skills for life. Coming across a concept called Brain Gym, I started to learn about our left and right brain hemispheres. Discovering how through stress, information overload and over stimulation through excess technology, our right hemisphere of the brain can switch off.  Stuck in our heads, becoming more left dominant. disconnecting us from emotional awareness and heart-mind intelligence. Integrating brain gym in to my BoxWize Skills System, I was teaching young people to activate both left, right and whole brain function, learning to switch on and tune in, developing movement and flow, releasing inner potential.

Youth Projects – Premiership Soccer – Great Britain Rugby League – Boxing World Champions: Developing BoxWize, sharing my life experience, guest speaking, delivering stress management presentations, I was working with alternative learning, within mainstream schools, with youth projects and the Hull Youth Justice for over 9 years (2004-2013) successfully preventing reoffending. Working with athletes and sports stars from the English Premiership soccer league, to Great Britain rugby league, setting boxing world title camps, working with boxing world champions. putting on BoxWize Challenge World Record Events, promoting my work and supported by top sports people and featured in the UK press/media on ITV, BBC, SKY TV and SKY NEWS.

Over 28 Years: Studying Stress – Human Biology > Human Technology: Studying stress, human biology and behavior for over 28 years, I created my concept human technology. Human biology: Stress – Fear – Reaction: Learning to understand how many of us are unaware we are running our old amygdala reactive caveman software; Freeze, Flight, Fight and Fawn, stuck more in our heads, running a belief system on our internal hard drive and operating system. Whilst hunting to survive and feed the family, when facing the saber tooth tiger or woolly mammoth, the caveman would experience potential fear and danger. Triggering the amygdala reactive part of the brain, the caveman would experience Freeze: feeling overwhelmed, powerless and shutting down, consumed and shutting down he would get eaten up in the situation. Flight: the caveman would run and get away, avoiding the stress of dealing with the situation, living to hunt another day. Fight: the caveman would use aggression but could often lose control, caught in a fight for survival. Fawn: is a common reaction in today’s world, known as people pleasing, avoiding uncomfortable conversations, hiding behind our emotions, giving our power and control to appease a person, situation or an authority.

Activating Our Human Technology, Switching On and Tuning In: When we learn to move, exercise, pushing through a great workout, we can learn to switch on, activating our human technology, tuning in, you have access to your Bright Response Software. Developing your ability to respond – responsibility. More present and in the moment, open to feeling, sensing and processing through your thoughts, feelings and emotions, energy in motion, you can develop your emotional awareness, learning to use our heart-mind intelligence. Getting yourself a virus protection from external negative influences, learning to chuck out the trash, delete delete, upgrading our bright response software. Clearing old files and past experiences like trauma on our internal hard, boosting your operating internal operating system.

Headucation: Schools Are Like Big Pharma Stress Factories: The Education system emphasizes the left brain dominance of language and logic over the right brains more intuitive and creative faculties, activated through rhythm and movement. More dominant left brainer’s are logical, analytical, linear thinkers, good with math, often in a career such as an accountant, scientist or computer programmer. More dominant right brainer’s are spontaneous, creative and more emotional than left-brainers, intuitive, good at problem solving, comfortable with the unknown, compassionate and more connected to the heart. The right brain absorbing sensory information, is more connected to the heart, helping us to integrate reasoning, managing emotions, addressing deeper issues, solution seeking and problem solving from a holistic perspective. 

Right Brain Switching Off – Becoming Left Brain Dominant: The overload of information of information, stress and programming, along with a lack of movement and exercise, can cause the right brain to be overridden, effectively shutting down and switching off. This can result in blocked pathways in the brain, poor concentration, degraded listening skills, poor memory and more, becoming more left brain dominant and stuck in our heads.

Becoming left brain dominant we can become self absorbed by the ego, taking ourselves serious and more consumed by the external world and materialism. We can experience cognitive dissonance, uncomfortable when having deeper conversations, we can feel sensitive, often struggling too critically think, switching off when challenged to change our beliefs. Stuck in our heads and left brain, we can be emotionally vulnerable to mind programming, in the world of think, feel, do, taught what to think, how to feel and what to do. Left, Right > Whole Brain Function: When the left and right brain is more in balance, we can feel more connected to our hearts, feeling a deeper sense of knowing, in our inner world of feel, sense, be, exercising our emotional awareness and heart-mind intelligence. It’s interesting, when somebody say’s ‘you’re not in the right mind’,

The Rise Of Designer Labels – ADD, ADHD…: Experiencing excess stress, the over stimulation of technology, EMF’s low energy electromagnetic frequencies, switching off at school, along with the vulnerability of reactive programming and social conditioning, a more left brain dominant world as amplified and accelerated the rise of designer labels. ADD – Attention Deficit Disorder, ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, OCD – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The mental health crises, addiction to Big Pharma prescription drugs and medication, are promoted in schools and society world wide.

Leadership > Politics and Mind Tricks > Left & Right Brain: Investing our time in politics and leadership, it’s fascinating to see how there is a left and a right, choose a side in a left brain dominant world, mainstream media persuasion, the politics and mind tricks, behind the scenes, control and investment, the left and the right, a designed division, separating the heads from the hearts and dividing people, when we need to come together to get to the heart of the matter.

Left Brain Intellect > Integrating the Intellect With Our Intuition: Becoming left brain dominant we can struggle to integrate our left brain intellect with our right brain intuition, lacking whole brain function, along with reactive mind programming and social conditioning we can experience the internal conflict of the mind thinking and our hearts deeper sense of knowing.

The Mind Thinks – The Heart Knows: The world has become so polarized, like we are living in an alternative universe. Many of us stuck in our heads, stressed and in fear, exercising a biology of belief, consumed with over thinking and not listening to our hearts. The division and separation is now clearer to see. Humanity is now going through a phycological process to exam our thinking, to get a true realization of how the world has become so complicated, distracting, overwhelming and confusing by design. In this technology and information age, many of us are sucked out in to the external sensory vacuum, stuck in the matrix, in an illusion of confusion, exercising a biology of belief, whilst many of us are more in our hearts, sensing a deeper knowing and seeking truth.
