Ronya Banks Mind Power - The Brain

“The mind craves for formulations and definitions, always eager to squeeze reality into a verbal shape.”
                   _Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Resembling a soft wrinkled walnut and weighing less than 1600 grams, or about 3 pounds, your brain controls every action and feeling you have ever had or will have in your lifetime.

This amazing organic “super computer” contains over 100 billion neurons (brain cells) who communicate to each other with a complex system of electrical and chemical reactions occurring constantly. These electrical messages travel at the amazing speed of about 220 miles per hour, which is 323 feet per second!

Loaded with genetic potential at birth, your brain began developing and learning by taking in the stimuli it received from your senses during experiences, and processing this information until it came up with conclusions.  These conclusions then got stored as perceptions, memories, or beliefs within the subconscious mind. Based on these new perceptions, memories, or beliefs you formed, you chose your desired reactions, which led you to the next experience.

Neutral Pathway Formation

Stimulus/ Experience

 

Brain Activity
Comparisons

 

Belief/ Memory Perception

 

Behavior Response/ Action

Stranger pops up
to Toddler

See Stranger

Stranger frightened me

Cry and run away

 

Smell stranger

 

 

 

Hear stranger

 

 

 

Hear stranger saying “he is shy”

 

 

 

Etc.

 

 

Within the brain, this process from original stimulus to decided reaction takes the shape of neural pathways.  Neural pathways become more well-worn either by repetition or from an intense experience. 

The process that develops a neural pathway occurs so quickly that the human being is usually not even aware of all the steps that got him or her to the Behavior Response/Action.

Because your brain is genetically programmed to be efficient, it will be drawn to using these well-worn pathways first.  Once a pathway becomes well-worn, your brain tends to bypass the brain activity process and skip right to an old Automatic Behavior Response (ABR) (much like that of Pavlov’s dogs’ Conditioned Responses).

For example, young children will learn that if they touch something hot, they will get burned after either having been told several times by their parents not to touch something hot or by having had the experience of touching something scalding hot once.  Thus, the child has formed a well worn pathway - from “Hot” stimulus – to - its Automatic Behavior Response (ABR) which has them avoid touching hot things.  This is how ABR Patterns are formed.

Automatic Behavior Response (ABR) Pattern

Stimulus
Something as hot

 

Automatic Behavior Response (ABR)
Do not touch it

Because these neural path processes are happening under the surface of the person’s conscious mind, they are occurring primarily in the Subconscious mind

As a result, in order to reprogram these neural pathways requires working with the Subconscious Mind.  Learn more about reprogramming the Subconscious Mind to achieve the results you want.
