67. Memory and Creativity

Questions on Memory and Creativity: Why I combine these two subjects? Can we train memory power? Can we be creative? Now let’s look at these two subjects separately Memory: The classic text of memory on a scientific ground is a book written by Eric R Kandel, a winner of the noble prize. He discovered the molecules of memory. Last year I attended a talk by a practical memory guru. He name is Nishant. He can impress you with his number memory and memory of thousands of unrelated items But he told us that when we was a teenager he had an ordinary memory. So Memory is a learnt skill. Creativity: Edward De Bono is another guru on creativity subject. In his latest book titled: Think. The first topic in that book is creativity. He asks this provocative question. Is creativity a talent or a skill? Obviously if creativity is a talent then we would not have spent so many hours writing a chapter of a book on creativity. So Creativity is a learnt skill. Creativity is problem identification ie by

66. Obesity

If our BMI is above 30 we are considered obese. Why Obese? The likely answers would be 1) Eating habits and lifestyle 2) Genetic make up 3) Lack of physical exercise (especially at the older age) 4) Sleep problems ie sleep Apnea 5) Lack of oxygen in the brain 6) Woman's weight before she becomes pregnant and her weight gain during pregnancy 7) No Breast-feeding after birth ( Breast fed children are 22 percent less likely to become obese.) 8) Foods allergy and sensitive gut 9) Hormones inbalance 10) Insulin resistance The likely solutions would be addressing the above ten possible weaknesses in our body and mind. To overcome obesity the basic principle of energy balance applied in most cases: that is input is equal to output or output is greater than input On a brain level, the most important thing is to train the brain to keep in touch with the body feeling. Brainwave training would help. Contact Simon Kong of EEG Asia

65. Examination Fever and Working Stress

Beside brainwave training and happy awakened mind coaching. There are many ways one can destress from exams fever and working stress. For example, listening to The Listening Programe for the brain. It comes with 10 CDs and a destress CD. Others such as engaging pyhsical exercise and with proper meditation techniques can help us desterss as well. Certain types of brainwave music can help. Paul Collier is a genius, he writes brainwave music for example like this one: I plan to compose a few brainwave music for creativity and memory work this year. Right now I have created a brainwave music for easy listening & relaxation for your ears and body.

64. Loneliness is a silent killer

Train Our Mind Loneliness is nothing to do with time and activity level. We can be busy and yet feeling being lonely. Loneliness can strike a person at any age,young and old, rich or poor. When it strikes ,it has bad emotional and mental consequences. Loneliness is different from being alone. Set aside time for being alone every day is a good strategy. When being alone one can relax, clear and calm the mind, doing self reflection and even set time for prayer or meditation. Once we are able to manage being alone than we can contain loneliness. Our mind stored all sorts of memory, and loneliness always bring out bad memory from the past. Because memory retrival when loneliness strikes, it is ineviatbly that bad memory surface first. Negative emotion comes first, when negative emotion overpowered our mind then many bad feelings would appear freely even one try not to think about it. This is how the mind works. Avoid loneliness at any time, set life goal whether it is big or small, easy or

63. Qi - The vital energy force of a body

My discussion of QI here, it has no religious implication. Qi is in a form of energy which flows in a body and supported by earth magnetic field. When harmonial vibration of body parts, Qi flow. When Qi accumulated in certain parts of body, they create resonance to promote blood flood.- Simon Kong Qi is energy circulating in our body in a dynamic state, it has no form or shape. Qi is a form of energy flows within the body. With practice some people have the ability to make Qi flow out of the body. When Qi is abundance, some people use Qi to heal others. Qi is measurable, it has infrared and electricity component but so far the measurment is not scientific enough to convince the general public. By telling people to feel Qi has made the understanding of Qi become complicated and hence add to its mystery. Depending where you come from, the present ways of explanation of existence of Qi make one's religion belief even stronger. Most of the time the explanation confuses people. Dependin
