A Weekly Look at the Brain, Memories, Trauma & Habit

Outline.

The transcript is too convoluted to put in as is 🙂 - so here is a summary. I promise - listening to the video is better.

Understanding the Neurophysiological System

• I explain the concept of the brain being spread throughout the body, including the heart and gut.

• I highlight the importance of EFT in identifying where emotions and memories are stored.

• The newsletter is a weekly look at brain trauma, memory, flashback, and mind-body connections.

• Dr. Siegel's ideas on implicit and explicit memory are discussed, emphasizing the importance of integrating brain and body.

Implicit and Explicit Memories

• I elaborate on implicit memories starting from the third trimester of pregnancy and their impact on the brain.

• The hippocampus's role in making sense of memories and experiences from 18 months onwards is explained.

• Dr. Siegel reiterates the emphasis on integrating different parts of the brain with the body.

• Dr. Dispenza's concept of breaking the habit of becoming oneself is linked to neural pathways.

Neural Pathways and Their Impact

• I discuss how neural pathways are formed through repeated experiences and stress.

• The concept of "what fires together, the neurons that fire together wire together" is introduced.

• Dr. Dispenza's explanation of how personal experiences are imprinted in the brain is detailed.

• The automatic nature of reactions to past experiences and their influence on future behavior is highlighted.

Changing Neural Pathways Through Meditation and EFT

• I explain the effectiveness of meditation and EFT in identifying and rewriting negative memories.

• The process of using EFT to untie connections to negative memories and create new ones is explained.

• Understanding the brain's neuroplasticity in changing neural pathways is discussed.

• I share my approach to helping clients identify and change negative pathways.

The Role of Karma and Epigenetics

• I address the concept of karma and its impact on beliefs about deserving a better life.

• The idea of intergenerational memory and its transmission through stressful thoughts is introduced.

• The potential for techniques like EFT and meditation to undo these patterns is emphasized.

• The importance of self-awareness and creating a new image of oneself to change the future is discussed.

Creating a Future Memory

• I explain the process of creating a future memory by stepping into a new, better version of oneself.

• Letting go of the past and not allowing it to predict the future is highlighted.

• The deep work required to change neural pathways over time is discussed.

• The analogy of overgrown pathways and creating new ones for a better future is used.

Conclusion and Resources

• I conclude by summarizing the key points of the vlog.

• Links to the books mentioned in the vlog will be included in the newsletter.

• I hope the information will be helpful. Be well.
