22. Knowledge, Wisdom and Character Building

Image
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...

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,...

19. Where to find a best medicine for the brain?

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.

18. Managing Brainwaves

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 ...

16. Emotional mind versus logical mind

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.
