Polarity And Speed Learning
Do you have something in common with your refrigerator and TV? Sure, homo sapiens produce 12 watts of electricity 24/7; our cells, organs and glands require electrochemical impulses to survive.
Are we similar to batteries? The law of polarity governs our planet, the sun, humans and batteries. Tops have a positive charge and the bottom a negative charge.
Humans have a positive charge at the top of their structure, and a negative one at their feet. The left side of our body has a negative polarity and the right side has a positive charge.
It can be measured by voltmeters; an EEG gives a read-out of our brainwave rhythms in cycles-per-second. We operate 16 hours daily in Beta Hertz (cycles per second), sleep in Delta, and do creative work in Alpha (alert relaxation) and Theta (imagination) cycles per second.
The entire planet including humans, produce Vibrational Frequencies. Beta produces brainwaves at 13 to 40 cycles per second (alert consciousness); Alpha (relaxed alertness) produces 8 to 12; Theta (creativity) is 3 to 7; Delta (sleep) 0.50 to 2.5 cycles per second.
So What?
Blocked areas in our mind and body create an imbalance in the human energy fields. Disease, injuries and emotional depression (environmental changes too) can produce negative imbalances in our left and right hemispheres (brain).
Imbalances cause chronic stress, migraines and susceptibility to diseases. The first to show evidence of blockage between our left and right brain is our immune systems.
Decussation (crossing over) means our left-brain controls the right side of our body while the right-brain runs the left side. Our job is to align the polarity between our positive and negative charges of our body. When we align both hemispheres of our brain to operate in harmony (remove the blockage) we are in-sync, experience peak experiences and enter the Zone and live in the Flow.
Here is How
Here is a baby-easy two-minute exercise to cancel chronic stress, fatigue and anxiety. It is healthy, life enhancing and may increase longevity with a health brain.
1. Please stand up with feet about 12 inches apart.
2. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath and slowly exhale to a count on one-one- second, two-one-second and three-one-second.
3. Swing your right-arm and land on your left-shoulder.
4. Next, swing your left-arm and land on your right-shouder
5. Stay criss-crossed for a count of three.
6. Drop your hands and swing your right-arm and land on your left-hip (side)
7. Swing your left-arm and land on your right-hip. Remain them for a count of three. Drop on your arms.
8. Finally, swing your right-hand and cup your left-ear, and swing your left- hand and cup your right-ear.
Repeat the entire set again; the entire exercise requires two-minutes.
Conclusion:
Eliminating blockages between hemispheres improves the function of your Central and Autonomic Nervous Centers. Learning, reading and long-term memory require a functioning balance between your left and right brains.
Speed Learning strategies produce a 3x increase in reading speed and 2x improvement in your long-term memory. It offers you the competitive edge in school and your career, and the opportunity to be in the fast-lane for success.
Eye-Movements
Our eyeball require movement in order to see; without slight movements there are no images for our brain to interpret. These movements are called: quakes, mini-saccades (irregular jerks and jolts) drifts and tremors.
We see through the action of our photoreceptors (Rods and Cones) and interneurons in our retina. They convert light into electrochemical signals, ship them to our Optic Nerve which transports them to our brain for analysis.
Each eye contains six Extra Ocular Muscles called Rectus and Oblique for movement patterns on our field of vision.
Test Yourself
a) Please move your eyes upward-left; back and now upward-right. b) Move your eyes lateral-left; back and now lateral-right. c) Move your eyes downward-left, back and now downward-right.
Key Eye-Movement Exercise
The entire exercise takes just Two-Minutes.
1. Please sit down, place your hands on the tops of your knees and relax.
2. Take a deep diaphragmatic breath and exhale slowly to a count of three.
3. Gaze straight ahead horizontally and consciously choose to move your eyes upward left (toward your eyebrow) and back. Do it a total of three- times.
4. Gazing straight ahead horizontally, move your eyes upward right and back. Repeat this eye-movement for a total of three-times.
5. Gazing ahead horizontally, move your eyes laterally-left (toward your left- ear) and back to center. Do it again twice more.
6. Horizontally gazing ahead, move your eyes laterally-right (toward your right ear) and back to center for a total of three-repetitions.
7. Gazing ahead horizontally, move your eyes downward-left (toward your left- leg). Repeat it for a total of three-repetitions.
8. Finally, gazing horizontally, move your eyes downward-right (toward your right-leg). Do three of these eye-movements each for best results.
Endwords
The purpose of these simply but powerful exercises is to store a balance between your left and right hemispheres. Your left and right brain must work in-sync for the proper use of your peripheral-vision states.
The highest level of existence (transcendence) according to the Abraham Maslow and his Hierarchy of Needs permits peak performance, operating in the Zone and in the Flow. A primary requirement for transcendence is synchronization of the hemispheres of our cerebral cortex.
The secret of peripheral states is seeing through the corners (Edges) of your eyes, Going-Wide, and never looking a single word in-the-eye. Remember, your six muscles in each eye permit you to see 180 degrees horizontally and 130 degrees vertically.
Do these two-minute exercises daily for 21 days and you create a habit. This skill enables your right-brain to complement your left-brain with pattern-recognition, spatial-abilities, parallel-processing and intuition.
These six-exercises warm-up your eyes for peripheral learning (right-brain) states and permits you to triple your reading speed and double your memory.
Remember – before you start learning, studying or testing – warm-up your eyes just as an athlete practices before playing. You will ace your exams and improve your career personal productivity up to 38%.
See ya,
