Over the last few years there has been an enormous amount of research showing how brain activity radically changes when we bring attention to even a routine movement. This research shows that the more attention we direct toward our movements, the higher the vibrational frequency becomes – much like a light that grows brighter as you turn up the dimmer switch and so increase the flow of electricity.
“So much of what people realized intuitively can now be scientifically proven.
Each time we combine attention with movement, millions and millions of brain cells are activated.
Imagine for a moment that you have the capacity to look inside your head and see the trillions of brain cells, each one like a tiny light bulb that becomes brighter when active. At rest all the cells emit a nice faint flow with those controlling our muscles and other organs of your body glowing a little bit brighter than the rest.
Now you begin moving perhaps just your right arm.
Suddenly a cluster of cells begins glowing brighter and brighter.
When you stop moving the lights dim back down.
Now you move your arm as before. Approximately the same cluster of brain cells lights up.
Then you add a new element: attention.
No longer running on automatic pilot you are now aware and awake, experiencing your movement with your five senses and your mind. You turn this attention to how it feels to move your arm, as well as how fast, slow, or how far you extend it.
With attention, the brain’s organizational functions are spurred into action.
Now you see brand-new clusters of cells lighting up, in many different areas of your brain.
You might even imagine at some point, something like a beautifully choreographed fireworks display, as clusters of brain cells begin communicating with one another, exchanging information and reorganizing the patterns of the clusters so that they will signal more refined movements of your arm.
As improbable as it seems, this metaphorical play of energy and lights offers a pretty accurate mental image of what happens in our brains as we move and bring attention to our movements.
The more we combine attention with movement, the greater the number of brain cells that light up, joining to form new patterns to create new possibilities for our lives, be it a new action, a new idea, a different feeling or emotion, or new knowledge.”
When we begin to pay attention to our movement, the way we move and posture ourselves changes.
We change, and life becomes more interesting and exciting. This is turn becomes apparent to those around us.
How could you not notice someone with billions of brain cells lit up?
As an added bonus – paying attention is the prerequisite of memory: the sharper the attention, the sharper the memory.
What more could you want?
