The Origin of Mind 2024

I met parents and almost everyone of them has the desire to see their children doing well academically. This is human nature and this is perfectly rational. However only a few parents openly expressed strong desire to see their children developing good characters. Our thoughts determine our actions. Be mindful about what is in your mind. If academic achievement always dominating our mind then our action will also gear towards that direction. What we focus on it and it will expand. Knowledge is easy to acquire especially where we are in this internet age. Acquire wisdom is difficult; wisdom gain through accumulation of experience, it is not about knowledge. Wisdom comes from our self reflection, internalisation, logical analysis, intention setting, compassion, application of knowledege and action. Character building is even harder. Building character for young children should be the priority instead of seeking knowledge excellent. Good character building starts from young. Would you con

A persistent and a flexible living mind What makes a persistent and a flexible living mind? - keeping calmness and alertness at any time at will - focusing clear objectives and vision - manoeuvre through each obstacle and challenge - mindful of self and the surrounding - cultivating keen interest and passion ---

Many famous people had migraines ie Mark Twian, Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare, and Napoleon Bonaparte. How wonderful it is when your life long suffering of migraine brain has stopped by a brand new start of brainwave training. Your migraines occurrence is not a big burden to you any more. Then it is time for you to celebrate your liberation. When I first set out brainwave training, I went for helping children with learning difficulties. In EEG Asia we believe in neuronal plasticity which means that we believe in new brain cells reproduction. A brain is a brain and it can be trained by brainwave training. For some migrainous brains that might take a bit longer training time as compared to ordinary people. There are foods that can trigger migraines such as milk chocolate,aged cheese, banana, raspberries,livers, and even MSG. However foods that trigger migraines vary from person to person and it is very personal specific just as same as allergy. Sometimes seeing light,

The best medicine for the brain is inside yourself, your immune system, and your antibody : "Y" is YOU. When we are honest to ourselves, we would know that there is no single treatment plan which can help our bodies functioning better. Each treatment method has its positive effects and its side effects; its strengths and its weaknesses. Our bodies are complex living organisms and we need: Chinese Medicine Western Medicine Alternative Medicine Prayers Chanting Rituals Counselling Healing The best ways of enhancing better body function are to have good habits, good rituals, better pyhsical exercise regime, better or appropriate foods & supplement intake (but do not over do it), and better active, sleep & rest cycle. ----

Concentration and Focus 'Given the right stimulation and nurture, every child can manifest his or her genius.' - Tony Buzan 'Brainwaves determine Behaviours.' - Simon Kong Treat concentration and focus as new subjects. Let's look at different perspectives below: “When children or adults are distracted they are paying attention to something else. “– The brother Grimm “Successful concentration occurs naturally when the target of our attention varies”. – Ellen Langer “Although these stimulants may be effective in producing a quieter and less disruptive child, they do not necessarily help make a child a better student.” – Ellen Langer “ If you want to perform at the highest level, you must learn to become absorbed in the reality of what you are doing while unconsciously and simultaneously observing but not engaging in the reality of potential distraction around and within you” - Mike Lardon “Concentration is often called one-pointedness of mind. Concentration is pretty

A road less travelled – Neurofeedback and EEG Biofeedabck Love and discipline are essential for mental health. Lacking of them in childhood may lead to difficulties in an adult life. M. Scott mentioned this observation 20 years ago. Western and Chinese medicine treat our body total differently. Chinese medicine promotes body harmony (ying and yang balance) whereas western medicine is famous for its quick fix. I have to admire western medical advancement in the field of medical instrumentation such as X ray, PET, MRI and ultra-sound scans on the brain,surgery,and neuroscience. Neuroscience has helped western medicine branching out into pharmacology sector and it produces many medicines which help to relief pains for the patients. Chinese medicine did very well in promoting self healing and self regulation for internal body organs using herbs and accupuntunce along the body 14 meridian energy lines. Chinese medcine growth could have made better advancement in 3rd century BC if a Chinese

Emotional response time for human being and plant vary from 2 seconds to 2 minutes. For animal it could be as low as 300ms. Some insects have response time to 20 ms Emotional reactivity is the most difficult type of brainwave coaching I have ever encountered: How to training the emotion mind to calm down? How to reduce an emotional mind from agitation? How to manage a violent act? The expression of a human mind varies dependent on an emotion content, experience, the environment and situation. The most difficult one is to predict how the emotion mind reacts. There are attempts to measure the quality of the emotion mind by assigning some number to it from an EQ test, but the understanding of emotion mind is still very primitive as compared to other hard sciences. The emotional mind have these features: 1) thinks negativity in the first encounter of threat, 2) has the fight and flight response, 3) avoids pain, 4) avoids danger, and 5) protects the body from any harmful threats. You have t

Wallace Wattles raised statements below on "a formless substance" a hundred years ago. There are two interpretation for his statements. One is on the act of a universal god, "words" permeate and penetrate the universe; the other explanation is on the working of a subconscious mind which creates reality in a brain. He said: "There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created." Whichever belief system we choose, ie God or Subconscious Mind, but in a first place we need a physical brain to connect and process all internal and external information. Wallac Wattles might have read an old Chinese idiom saying "心想事成": " With

A never ending search for Happiness... Below are two scenarios of mental states: Healthy, Wealthy and Happy state. Healthy, Wealthy but not Happy state. Some people say that you need to serve others to be happy. Another person says happiness is within you. Someone says " In order to be happy we must keep busy, keep enjoying." , "Happiness is in the doing." I read many books on happiness and listen to many wisemen and gurus' comments. Here is the gist of it : "Happiness is your creation." Happiness is a state Happiness is a process, happiness is a feeling and happiness is a 'state'. We may not 'find' happiness or happiness may not exist as a destination,or in a place.- Simon Kong "Happiness is a balance between extremities" "Happiness - it's a resource that comes from many things. Generally, I consider it as a balance between extremities. Happiness, for me, is a mixture of city and nature, people and solitud

Training and coaching the brain and mind for the young and the elder are now possible with EEG Biofeedback. Brain and Mind Development. Hyperactivity, Impulsivity are parts of brain activites. We can train a brain to be less active in those apsect of behaviours. Once we change a perception on a mind development we will soon realise that we are training genius minds to save our world. This world needs many geniuses to tackle new challenges ahead. Our brains develop all the time. When a brain reaches its peak development state and it will maintain its function until ageing set in. Below is my understanding of a brain timeline of development between 0 and 110 years of age: 0-3 Years: Formative years; awareness of emotion and core character building. 3-9 Years: Next phase of brain development. Creativity and Memory are in top form. 9-14 Years: Full maturity of a brain. 14-25 Years: Best output of brain function and a very productive stage. 25-60 Years: A brain maintains its core functions.

Simon Kong www.eegasia.com.sg Learn how to engage your senses Laozi was born in 5th century BC, an ancient Chinese philosopher and a genius. He mentioned the origin of knowing which the mind can perceive: "道 可 道 , 非 常 道" Dao Ke Dao, Fei Chang Dao Meaning "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the enduring and unchanging Dao." My way of interpreting Laozi saying is that, when the truth (道,Dao) can be explained or described by words or expressed verbally then it has lost its original intent. Likewise a truth has to be appreciated. We have to use our internal senses to acknowledge it. Infact "道 可 道 , 非 常 道" could be a thinking, reflection, a closed loop biofeedback learning system which a decision maker uses it for processing information. For example, when a master of a profession who is looking for a successor, or a CEO wants to pass a baton to his CEO successor. He has two options in his decision making process: Firstly he is looking for someone who has dem
