Balance Your Left-Right Brain Hemispheres For A More Powerful Mind

If you grew up like most of us, in a traditional public school system, then chances are high that the left side of your brain has received much more attention and exercise than the more creative and intuitive right side.

The role of public schools has been to prepare students for jobs. Children are trained to listen and follow instructions, and to perform repetitive tasks. They are not taught how to think by or for themselves. To do so would simply obstruct the students ability to follow instructions and do their job.

In today's rapidly changing world, left hemisphere functioning is no longer enough. The jobs of tomorrow will require creative and intuitive thinking and action. Successful individuals can and must learn how to integrate and use a fully functional brain.

Those on a spiritual path have known this for a long time. Without intuition and emotion, choice and creativity cannot happen. While spiritual teachers of the past sought only to still the mind and discover the soul, today's spiritual seekers are ready to put the power of spirit to work in their physical lives. To do so requires balancing and fully integrating the left and right brain hemispheres.

The mind is "enlightened" when leadership is given to the Heart. But a healthy brain, including integration of left and right brain hemisphere functioning, requires exercise.

There are a number of companies that provide technologies for this purpose. They include Centerpointe's Holosync technology, Equisync by the EOC Institute, Real Mind Power's Super Mind Evolution System, and my all-time favorite, the Focus and Insight CD's by Immrama Institute.

There is also iMusic, by the Volition Neuro Research Institute, which has been shown to improve IQ, focus and attention, and increase overall performance using a sound technology that is NOT binaural beats. I have sampled this one, and did experience some immediate benefits. I would need to use this product longer before making a personal recommendation, but the research is compelling.

Of course, meditation is the time honored method for achieving the same results. Combining sound technologies with meditation can save time and produce even better results. All you can really do is try it and find out what works best for you.

The brain is also the place where perception occurs. Signals received from the five senses are interpreted and used to create a physical experience. Emotion is then added to create meaning and motivation. How you perceive the world shapes how you feel and act within it.

There is so much more to explore about the brain and the role it plays in our choices, actions, and happiness in life. Check out the links below to learn more about how you can balance your brain hemispheres.
