Expanding the Potential of Brain Power
Mind
Mind is a powerful force, it can make the worst of the best or best of the worst.
We have power over our mind-not outside events. Realize this, and we will findstrenght.

Brain

The brain is the most complex part of the human body and main organ of thehuman nervous system.
It is located in the head, protected by the skull. It has the same general structure as thebrains of other mammals, but with a more developed cerebral cortex.
The core component of the nervous system in general, and the brain in particular, isthe neuron or nerve cell, the “brain cells” of popular language. A neuron is anelectrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electro-chemicalsignalling. Unlike other cells, neurons never divide, and neither do they die off to bereplaced by new ones. By the same token, they usually cannot be replaced after beinglost, although there are a few exceptions.
The average human brain has about 100 billion neurons (or nerve cells) and manymore neuroglia (or glial cells) which serve to support and protect the neurons which ismore than 100,000 KM of interconnections and has estimated 1.25 X 10^12 bytesstorage capacity.
Each neuron may be connected to up to 10,000 other neurons, passing signals to eachother via as many as 1,000 trillion synaptic connections, equivalent by some estimatesto a computer with a 1 trillion bit per second processor.
Estimates of the human brain’s memory capacity vary from 1 to 1,000 terabytes.
One human brain receives 11 million bits of information per second from environment,but it can only process 40 bits per second.
Information transmission within the brain, such as takes place during the processes ofmemory encoding and retrieval, is achieved using a combination ofchemicals and electricity.
10% of what we READ
20% of what we HEAR
30% of what we SEE
50% of what we SEE and HEAR
70% of what is DISCUSSED with OTHERS
80% of what is EXPERIENCED PERSONALLY 95% of what we TEACH TO SOMEONE ELSE

The brain learns by constructing knowledge through sequential stages.
Stage 1: Motivation/watch, have to, show interest
Stage 2: Start to Practice/practice, trial and error, ask questions
Stage 3: Advanced Practice/practice lessons, read, confidence
Stage 4: Skillfulness/some success, enjoyment, sharing
Stage 5: Refinement/improvement, natural pleasure, creative
Stage 6: Mastery/teach, recognition, higher challenges

Dendrites (fibers) grow out of the neurons when you listen to/write about/talk about/ practice something.
Dendrites can grow only from a dendrite (fiber) that is already there – from something the learner already knows.
As we learn, specific dendrites grow so that specific neurons connect at specific synapses to create large and more complex networks.
Synapses can change in number minute by minute. Some synapses are strong, and some are weak – so weak they
don’t even send a signal. Through learning, weak synapses can become strong. No matter how many synapses a neuron has, it also has the
potential to grow more.

If We have not had the opportunity to grow the foundation dendrites for a new topic or skill, they don’t have the basis from which to grow – on which to connect and construct – the dendrites for the higher levels of skill and knowledge.
Should we judge students as incapable or of less intelligence or talent and throw them and their potential away because they never had that opportunity?
No one can understand anything if it isn’t connected in some way to something they already know

Benefits of Meditation
Everything in the universe ispulsating and vibrating – nothing isreally standing still!The sound Om, when chanted,vibrates at the frequency of 432 Hz,which is the same vibrationalfrequency found throughouteverything in nature.

Running stimulates the creation of newnerve cells and blood vessels within thebrain, an organ that tends to shrink as aperson ages.
Running helps increase the volume of themidbrain (which controls vision andhearing) and the hippocampus (which islinked to memory and learning).
Help to build strong bones, as it is aweight bearing exercise
Strengthen muscles
Provide
Improve cardiovascular fitness
Burn plenty of kilojoules
Help maintain a healthy weight
Benefits of RunningRunning is a popular form of physical activity.

Healthy Foods to Boost Brain Capacity
40
A Healthy foods that attends to the specific needs of the brain may help neurons toachieve the most desirable chemical balance naturally.
Healthy foods boost brain circuits capacity and control the neurological disorders.

What we think then we become.
Nothing is impossible, we have to do only to make it possible.
Negative emotion is five times prominent than positive. We should avoid
or replace by positive thinking.
By doing practice and more focus, neurons cells are connected and
formed a track, once track form it is very easy to understand.
Our believe systems which have been created million of years, we really
dont understand many things even we dont want to understand or have a
kind of fear.
We can only understand or process the information what we have in mind
in some form. It helps to make us intelligence or stupid.
If we think positive, doing better and believe ourself then at the end we will
100% succeed.
