Discover techniques to boost cognitive function and peak performance by improving attention, focus, concentration, observation, and memory recall through neuroplasticity-driven exercises that turn skills into automatic habits.
Feelings influence attention, concentration, and memory recall, and caffeine's adenosine blocking can affect focus; practice the course's exercises to improve focus and form automatic habits.
Explore how brainwaves gamma and theta synchronize during meditation and hypnosis to boost concentration, cortical processing, and hippocampus activation, enabling long-lasting, autopilot-like skill recall.
Explore theta waves between two and 15 hertz that support information processing, memory, and learning, with brain recordings and slow activity synchronizing distant brain regions and prefrontal cortex involvement.
Remove on-screen visuals to reduce stimuli and boost vocalization, concentration, and observation, then practice consistently to form automatic habits encoded in memory protein chains and reach a higher mind.
Explore attention as a behavioral and cognitive process that selectively focuses on information, from focused to divided attention, and the three-part working brain model of attention, memory, and activation.
Learn to allocate your attention by cultivating stillness in the higher mind, observing without labeling, and avoiding thought projection to reduce noise and misperceptions.
Explore layers of thought from loud, observable thoughts to quieter layers that reveal classical conditioning, the primal mind, and the prefrontal cortex guiding attention and choices.
Explore the flower technique to allocate attentional resources in the present moment, using rose imagery to train focus and memory through playful imagination and neuroplasticity.
Learn the panic ownership technique to de-stress, boost confidence, and sharpen attention and memory through daily practice, accessing inner certainty and the feeling of being capable.
Explore how oxygen levels sustain brain function and the role of glucose, neurons, and brain structures from the frontal lobes to limbic system, plus the impact of deep breathing.
Identify the risks of cerebral hypoxia when the brain uses about 25 percent of oxygen intake. Recognize symptoms from mild cognitive decline to unresponsiveness and know to call 911 immediately.
Maximize oxygen levels to support brain function and health by deep breathing, exercise, hydration, antioxidant-rich foods, and adding plants or natural air purifiers, such as salt lamps and peace lilies.
Discover how thyroid hormone shapes brain and cognitive function, and how elderly individuals with hypothyroidism or subclinical thyroid disease experience memory loss, concentration difficulty, and misdiagnosis as dementia.
Choline is an essential nutrient that supports brain function by producing acetylcholine, boosting memory, attention, and energy, with dietary sources like meat, fish, dairy, and eggs.
Allocate your attention without movement of thought, reach a stillness in a higher mind, observe without labeling, avoid projecting thoughts, and cultivate playful, childlike awareness.
Hands-On Experiential Skills, not just Theory!
Attention is the most important skill of life, and it is the basis for all other skills you need to be independent, productive and successful at what you do. Attention is the ability to choose and concentrate on relevant stimuli. This cognitive ability is very important and is an essential function in your daily life.
It has become much more difficult to pay attention, due to having instant access to a large stream of incoming information AND entertainment (!) quite literally in the palm of your hand - the cell phones, tablets or other wireless handheld devices. These technological innovations have already impacted our attention span, staying focused and completing the higher priority projects.
Attention is a cognitive and behavioral process which allows us to plan, monitor and regulate our Thoughts, Feelings and Actions.
We cannot understand, learn or remember that which we do not pay attention to. But we DO have the ability to choose to focus and concentrate on relevant stimuli and ignore or allocate minimal attention resources to stimuli that are not important at the moment.
Focusing, focalization is different from concentration. Focusing involves holding an open attention, a non-judgmental observation which is directly experienced but is not found in words, more like Simultaneous attention.
Therefore, in this course we will dive deeper on the Simultaneous Attention and different Types of Focusing, developing unique skills: awareness and observation are of crucial importance to best manage Focalization, Concentration.
We will combine the Cognitive with the Intuitive methods, developing a new set of Skills while we also make it fun.
