LIFE IN FOCUS

If my mind can conceive it and my  heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.  Muhammad Ali                   THE NEUROSCIENCE We, as humans, are hard-wired to perform any well-developed or learned skill. Interest and motivation increase with competency. Competency requires repetition and rehearsal, and these take time. Is there an efficient method to accelerate the desired skill set? The answer is   yes !  Originating from the brain  are a set of 12 cranial nerves; each serving a different function for sense and/or movement. Of the 12, 6 cranial nerves innervate motor, sensory, and autonomic structures in the eyes. So... when half of the cranial nerves dedicate themselves, either partially or entirely, to vision, we cannot ignore the power of the visual system.  What we see in our mind's eye is truly powerful. The process of picturing or imagining things increases the potential for manifestation, mainly through the application of focus. Through focus, we obtain clarity.   VISUA

   The brain and body need rest to fully function. The brain and body need sleep. Sleep is a crucial biological phase. Sleep researchers are continuing to make powerful, and even surprising, discoveries about the science of sleep. It wasn't long ago that sleep was described as a passively dormant body and brain state, in which little, if anything was occurring. But as it turns out, the various intricate and coordinated activities occurring during sleep are vital to life, affecting both your mental and physical health.  Your brain operates 24/7 without taking a break. While you're sleeping, there is a coordinated, systematized, and highly productive factory occurring deep within your brain and body whose entire function is to keep you healthy, energized, and alive.   Throughout sleep, we cycle (several times) through five stages, all of which are necessary for restorative sleep to occur.  These stages are divided as REM or Non-REM sleep, with REM standing for Rapid Eye Movement

Music has been known to capture a mood, punctuate an experience, stamp a time! Music plays an integral role in our everyday lives. It knows no age, time, or cultural bounds. It has a distinct and unique ability to evoke emotions, trigger memories, and magnify social experiences. This can be a high-school dance, beach party, cross-country drive, graduation, wedding, or any other memorable event.  Music evokes and often intensifies emotions. It creates a sensory experience that brings us back in time, recalling memories otherwise long forgotten. While interest in music is universal, musical taste, is an individual experience, which is heavily generationally and culturally influenced. Depending on the type of music we are listening to, we can feel energized, mellow, happy, sad, nostalgic, aroused, l
