MIND: THE PROCESSING POWER
There is no way you can talk about the mind with a brief article/write up of the Brain.
1. Brain in conjunction of the mind
2. Levels of the mind
3. Mind and Body
4. Influence of the mind
5. Mind diseases
The mind is seat of emotion and consciences of a human. When we talk about the mind is all about the intellect. The cerebrum is the seat of reasoning but the mind is a wide word to discuss. The cerebrum is the part of the brain that is involved in perceiving, remembering, considering, evaluating and deciding. The mind is the same as the way a spirit is life of a body, so also the mind is the functioning unit of the Brain. No matter how big/small a brain is, if its not acute for the mind, it is useless. The mind is the same as the cell, the functional unit of the Brain.
LEVELS OF THE MIND
1. Consciousness: This refers to personal awareness of different taught, memories, feelings, sensation, the awareness of yourself and your environment i.e if you can describe something you are experiencing in words/action, then it is part of your consciousness. This is the part of the mind that is aware of person’s self, surrounding and thoughts for example, for you to know you want to urinate, is that you are conscious. Consciousness as a physical process caused by the Organization of Energy is the Brain.
Research have known that the Cerebral Cortex of the brain is the seat of consciousness.
Changes in consciousness can sometimes be a sign of medical conditions or they may even be a sign of an immediate medical emergency. Sudden changes in consciousness might be a sign of
Aneurysm
Brain tumor or injury
Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease
Epilepsy
Stroke
Poisoning
Heart stroke
Lack of oxygen in the brain
The unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urguess and memories that are outside of our conscious awareness
Psychoaral: The part of the mind containing instincts, impulses, and ideals that are not available for direct examination.
Psychoanalysis: a method of analyzing psychic phenomena and treating emotional disorders that involves treatment sessions during which the patient is encouraged to talk freely about personal experiences and especially about early childhood and dreams The method of studying the mind and dealing psychiatric and emotional disorders based on revealing and investigating the role of the unconscious mind.
2. Sub conscious mind: Is the part of the mind that makes decisions without our needing to actively think about them. This is the part whereby our body can relate/react/respond without thinking about it. E.g. reading of Alphabet is already in our sub conscious mind, where we can recite it even when we are waken up from bed.
This level of sub consciousness mind is where addictions take place. When we learn anything it beinging to start from our conscious mind, by the time it enter the sub conscious mind, it becomes a mastering act. You standing to walk or eat without shaking or leaping.
When our physical sense organs are exposing to anything at all being written, video or audio, it stays in our conscious mind i.e we are now aware of it, by the time it enters to the sub conscious mind, it is hard to stop. It is the point where people who are addicted to smoking, drugging, watching porn etc get to. The sub conscious mind is connected to the heart; who so ever can get your heart/sub conscious mind can get/control your body. Scientist says the only or prominent work of the heart is to pump blood all around the body. But research have proven it clearly that the heart still have a lot of work or control in the body, like the emotions and love angle, the heart is deeply involved. When love is deep and is affected to the heart, it is that point they say “love is blind” because a man can be controlled at that time. The heart pump blood; blood is life when the love is induce to the blood, emotions and activities in regards to the love always put the man in a shock process that is why you can feel our partner at sense romantic point.
Heart breaks affects the heart, because the sub consciousness as send a flow of feelings to the heart.
Your sub conscious mind can cause your body to move. There has a saying that says “whatever you can think, you can have it” that is the point of the power of the sub conscious mind.
How powerful is your sub conscious mind:
Our sub conscious mind makes up around 95% of our brain power and handles everything our body needs to function properly, from eating and breathing to digesting and making memories.
When you believe in your sub conscious mind and using it, it can result in amazing and long term effects on your health, happiness, prosperity, holistic growth, relationships, unlimited capacity to gain knowledge, higher thinking etc.
How to influence the mind:
Meditation: Finding a peaceful place, sit in a comfortable posture and close your eyes, empty your mind of all thoughts, while you practice breathing in and out for few minutes.
Visualization: The act of bringing unseen things to your sight as if they are existing, creating of image. Start doing it by using a few of your senses initially, like nothing sound and smell.
Affirmation: To state positively; motivating and encouraging yourself with talk-winning team spirit. Engaging in positive self-talk towards your goals and happiness; surround yourself with people who think positively e.g footballers always act like this by circle and putting winning sport themselves. Do it while showering, walking etc.
Music: Like the melody soothing music to empower your sub conscious mind. Use instrumental/strings only; spiritual gurus use it all time. Find out what kind of music suits you best and immerse on it.
Sleep it: This is very effective, for example, if you have a problem but you are unable to find a solution to easily, just let it be and sleep over it. Let the sub conscious mind take over and find solutions and decisions.
Indulging in Art: To unleash the power of your sub conscious. Painting, sketching, drawing, singing and dancing are some ways to control your sub conscious mind. You must not be an expert, just try and allow yourself to enjoy it. This helps to open up your sub conscious for greater benefits to your body, mind and soul.
Try again: Try to repeat exercise till they give the desired results, reach out to your life goals. Know what you want, identify the obstacles, search for possible reasons.
Plan your life Goals: Create a plan for a period of time, decade, quarter, years, whatever suits you best. Be realistic about the plan so that it is something you can safely keep and implement over time. Focus on your principles, values and motivation factors.
Self fighting : also called mind fighting, keep questioning yourself, why do you feel uncomfortable to do something: How can you overcome it, keep asking these questions repeatedly.
Be thankful: Learn to appreciate efforts of others towards you, being little or not, and also to your effort.
Work with God (Holy Spirit): Allow His Spirit to talk your mind and bring you to the achieving side.
Research have found that, in the first 15-minutes space when you are sleep and awake, the brain waves are slower, At this time, there are around 7-14 electrical waves each second called Alpha Waves. This is when the sub conscious mind is highly receptive to messages. So communicate with your sub conscious mind at this time.
The sub conscious mind is the part which operates without your awareness and over which you could not have active control. The part of your mind that creates your dreams below the level of your conscious perception.
MIND DISEASES
Bipolar Disorder: also known as mood swigging, Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly. Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year. While most people will experience some emotional symptoms between episodes, some may not experience any.
Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, you can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder is treated with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy).
