God bless you 😊.

I’m a recovering addict and I actually stumbled upon self re-wiring today. I had a trigger moment and I got ready to self medicate as now “was the time.” As I was about to, I paused, focused on my breathing, and wrote an apology letter to myself that acknowledged why what I was about to do was unhealthy. It didn’t make the anxiety or my heart rate reduce… but it did start the process of rerouting my neurons. I’m going to use this strategy moving forward on my recovery journey. Currently about to make it to day 7.

Faith in humanity restored. For deaf parents, siblings and grandparents to get a visual on their lil’ bubs chatter is huge. The bond would be so much stronger and the positive mental health benefits could be life-changing for both parties. Kudos 👏👏👏

You can fix a lot of issues using your own thoughts, I know you can for a fact. It does take a little time to show huge effects and you have to keep away from any extreme situations that you know upset you as much as possible but it works. Workout relax take walks breath a little. I talked to people but I pretty much stayed to myself for a year with kids at home you can do this too and people told me they saw some changes in me and by the end they stuck. Eight years later and I still feel the difference.

Benny M If you persist it will pay off. If you don't end up sticking with it, you will still experience changes and benefits from your limited practice as well as simply knowing about the practice and how to recognize issues. If you meditate and just focus on your breath, not trying to change it, just observing it. Observe your chest rising and falling, the feeling of cool air entering your nostrils and warm air exiting your mouth or nostrils, your lungs filling, your belly inflating, notice anything at all that is being changed by the breathing process. You might also notice that at the end of each inhalation and exhalation, there is a span if time, seconds, where you have stopped breathing. Observe that time and it will begin to increase with practice. It is important though, for you not to try and put effort into breathing or mediation. It should be a time of observation. It shouldn't be strict unless you find peace in that, but you can meditate any time, place, sitting, laying down, morning night, while walking, even chores like dish washing. Once you practice and get used to it, it is possible to enter into a meditative state anywhere, loud or quiet, comfortable or not. Now, while you are observing your breaths and subtle body changes your mind will inevitably begin to wander. When you're beginning it happens more frequently. It's normal and it's important. You will catch yourself in thought and not even know for how long or why. It's like when you're reading a book and halfway down the page you realize you have no idea what's happening because your mind was off somewhere else. That happens during meditation but your mind is not lost somewhere else, it is caught within. When you catch this, it is your conscious mind recognizing your subconscious and what your subconscious mind is running through your head is very important. Why? Because those thoughts are the true influencers of our moods and habits and we almost never recognize them lurking or understand how much they are affecting us. Try, during your meditation, when you catch these obsessive subconscious thoughts running around, to simply recognize them, don't judge or overanalyze or dive deeper into them. Just say hello, make a little note that it was on your mind, and let go back to your breath. If it returns don't become frustrated, you can even pause an write it down. Another Zen technique is to speak to your emotion. When you recognize that you are becoming anxious, instead of wondering why and fixating on it, simply acknowledge it with compassion by saying "Hello anxiety. I recognize you. Don't worry, i will treat you well." You will experience immediate relief because your emotion is inseparable from "you", so the manner in which you react to and treat your feelings and concerns is the same as how you are treating yourself. I know this was long, i hope you had the chance and patience to read it and that i made some sense. It can be difficult to describe, but suffering from similar issues, I've tried anything and just about everything and meditation and breathing truly help in a way that is less like the band aid that medications can provide, and more of a life changing perspective and a chance at lasting peace. Just remember, your negative thoughts and behaviors are there for some reason. Rather than hide from them or fight them, try acknowledging them with compassion as you would a cut or scrape, and get closer to the negative things. They will eventually reveal their true causes and nature to you and by then you will be at peace with them and able to actually heal, adapt, and let go. I wish you the best of luck on this rough journey, but your attitude in your comment suggests you are already well on your way.

I’m holding back on learning sign language becuz few, if any persons around me are able to converse in/ comprehend same. I have yet to find another device or technology that effectively supports my disability in most parts of my life. Affordability is another barrier to those devices that would help somewhat. It’s a whole new world, a new level of understanding disability (I have a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling) and a stark reality of how people judge others. I am often treated as if deaf- tho I communicate that I can hear. Or. I am treated as if I have an intellectual disability. It’s often frustrating; it inspires creativity in solving problems; the rest of me forgets that I am now ‘different’ from before…❤

I'm also extremely interested in Neural plasticity but not from an academic view point. I'm interested in personal growth and how to get there. I don't have any note worthy impediments like stroke or epilepsy. I just want to do specific things better. My focus at the moment is playing drums at age 70 which is frivolous but please keep reading. Decades ago, George Stone wrote a book called Stick Control which is a collection of RLRR LRLL and other examples of this idea. His instruction was to play each exercise a few times and move on to the next in precise metronome time where there is no stress. Of coarse I rejected all this when young wanting to get to the good stuff and be playing at the Hollywood bowl with Cream asap! Shockingly, it never happened! Fast forward to age seventy and Neural Plasticity, I clearly know where I went wrong. I didn't do the right process to make the connections for my extremities to do what I wanted them to do. Apparently, some people have the capacity to do what they are told like practice Stick Control diligently without question with total belief in the outcome. I'm not one of them! The missing information for me was the "How is this going to work and what is happening when doing it?" Certainly George Stone didn't know either but somehow he had some inspiration or special knowledge ? Anyhow, I recently started working through his book. First time I tried, it seemed impossible. My coordination and timing was totally off. I persisted with it only by trust there would be improvement and it did. Six months later, I was exposed to Neurol Plasticity and found the missing link to my learning deficiencies. Two days ago, I challenged myself to applying Stick Control exercises but, this time using my left hand and right foot. Day one, it was once again seemingly impossible however, I told myself, I know how this works. I'm creating the necessary neural connection in my brain. It's not an extremity problem, age related deficiency or any other perceived (I can't) reason. I worked this 4 times the first day for about 5 minutes each time. I mixed the exercise up by playing it for eight measures without stopping and stop for a measure. Then I played it for one measure and rested for one. I did this because I noticed a lack of accuracy when starting. I struggled with that some. The next morning, I started again and to my joy, it had become remarkably easier and the accuracy was superb. I realized that in a very short period of time and effort and in a very controlled and disciplined way, I had established the pathway in my brain for this task. The confidence this brings to light is invaluable.

Joel Pierson Along a similar method, I recently read a book written in “layman’s terms” of the brain, conscious and subconscious, vibrational energies related, etc. The book was written by Carolyn White, PhD and titled “Think It... Say It.... Be It”. For a shorter book of about 125 pages, it took longer than normal for me to read - this was because the information she presented in the book was succinct, without “filler, fluff or medical jargon”.

We can change brain function with TMS and DBS. But neuro feedback, as amazing as it is, needs time and energy just like meditation to show any consistent effects. Just imagine you had a TMS in the palm of your hand that can change brain structure on demand. We are just steps away in creating such machines that gives us a major control over, at least, our cortical areas.

The way to crush sugar addiction is to stop encouraging it, thereby halting the insulin roller coaster that hijacks our minds by hijacking our bodies. Our bodies are a great barometer for this. If you eat a meal and it leaves you sated, calm, and with a steady supply of energy, eat more of that type of meal. If you eat something that leaves you hungry, craving, or moody, stay away from those kinds of foods. Over time, the sugar cravings will subside on their own. It happened for me about seven years ago and hasn't returned even when I consume sugar. And I'm definitely not strict with my diet!

Don Vaughn This is very interesting. I would like to try this for my PTSD, if and when costs go down..I would also be very interested in my son (almost 11) trying this. He has been diagnosed O.D.D., A.D.H.D., and possibly ASD (in the middle of a 90day evaluation) and I see him suffer depression and anxiety like myself. Have there been case studies for children or for these types of issues? I have also heard of brainmapping..not sure if this is similar..but all I know is that I wish nothing more than for my son to have an MRI because I have no doubt that all of his issues have to do with something neurological. I have had him in cogitive behavioral therapy for YEARS and he has an IEP and wrap around therapy, and I just do not see any positive life-changing results, despite him trying his hardest. This leaves him feelings hopeless, and leaves me feeling overwelmed and fearful for his future. I wish there were more options available for mri case studies and close to where I live, because it is simply not something I can just pay for like that *snap*. I don't exactlt have everything going for me with my own issues, and it's a disheartening reality many parents with any mental illnesses, like myself, face today. I wish you the best in all current and future endeavors! Keep making positive changes possible with your research!

Communication with in the brain waves allows you to use telepathy of mono phone vibrations which centralizing the firing and rewiring to any part of the functions which the placebo cortex radio activates the hollow graphics vocabularies and the cranial lines through the spine and optical levels of interference interchanges the frequencies to rotations and sound effects to its healing points of the gravity systems of the activations of the individual circuits this will balance out all center positions to the framing of your digital electrical systems !!

Keep getting referrals until you find a neurologist who can work with you well. I have extreme problems with colourants, my neurologist has gone through almost every available medication available, one *pharmacist* advised him to "try" a particular variant of one medication, and we worked with that for quite a while, for one condition, before realizing it was *the*aggravating factor in another condition we'd previously had under complete control, so he quickly switched right back. I'm very fortunate. I know me. He knows his field. We work well together. He also understands that although I'm a patient and not a doctor, he doesn't resent that I was on an accelerated path to that white coat, and do know more than most patients about *myself* and *my condition.* and respects both, isn't insulted by it at all, thank goodness! He actually treats me more like a colleague than a patient. Which is enormously helpful for both of us!

This is reinventing the wheel with the addition of tech use and scientific jargon! All this brain rewiring stuff and brain plasticity is known in ancient meditation techniques and practices.

Science operates on the principal of confirmation. It makes it harder to misunderstand or over estimate your level of understanding. Many people find the apparent overreach or massive generalizations of theology and cultural teachings frustrating and counterproductive.

I know it because I live it. And yes changing what you eat can help significantly. Is it easy? Not always. The foods that taste good are very addictive. What you believe is the most important. If you believe the lies, then you lose the battle in your mind. Energy is also tied to what you eat. Eating out and eating certain types of "food" like corn syrup zap me of energy. Going to bed late. Not drinking enough water. Lack of sunshine. What we focus on with our thinking. What we decide things mean. Was that person being intentionally mean, or were they trying to be helpful. Pills don't treat the root causes, and in fact eventually make things worse. Sometimes it's as simple as going outside for an hour. For me, the winter is the worst, but vitamin D supplements seem to help.

Vitamin D works with other vitamins and minerals as cofactors. A magnesium deficiency can inhibit the bodies use of vitamin D.

14:26 'when you scan the brains while blind people are feeling braille, you don't just get their touch parts of their brains active, you see visual areas active as well'. Interesting, I have good vision, but I'm pretty sure that if you would scan my brain while I'm trying to do something complex with my hands while I'm not able to see them directly the visual areas are active as well. When you have a keychain with several keys on it in your pocket for example and you have to select the key to your house, using only touch, I don't think it would be possible without using visual parts of the brain.

+erwinvb09 Great question! While both Braille and touch object recognition (TOR) require tactile sensation, they're processed differently, as Braille has semantic meaning behind it. It's true that some TOR studies have found low-level visual areas to be involved (www.neurology.org/content/52/7/1413.short), which as you point out seems intuitive when you construct a visual sense of a 3d object. However, the same is not true with blind people - although it does appear that reorganization of visual cortex is, as seems obvious, not just Braille-specific: "Whereas anterior regions showed preference for Braille, posterior regions (including V1) showed preference for verbal-memory and verb generation (which both require memory of verbal material). No such occipital activation was found in sighted subjects. This difference between the groups was mirrored by superior performance of the blind in various verbal-memory tasks." For a good review see www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304394005010499

+Ethienne Racine Thanks Ethienne! The analogy is: an effective way to fix a highly complicated system that you don't understand (e.g. the brain), is to induce it to fix itself (TMS / plasticity / rewiring). Similarly with other highly-complicated problems ( interdependent social issues), you might have success with the same approach (recruiting those on the inside to manifest change, rather than legislate it from the outside).

I'm glad that he didn't go off on a biased rant about medication. I'm glad that he recognised their efficacy in many cases.

He's talking about Neuroplasticty. I believe NLP therapy uses this principle and and a course called The Lightnng Process.

I am fascinated by all the exciting prospects ahead as more is learned about Neuroplasticity. But, I think we need to guard against over 'egging' what seems to be achievable if brains can rewire or otherwise relearn. There are lots of TED talks about 'neuroplasticity' and each one is exclusively positive and optimistic. Nothing wrong with being positive and optimistic provided the science is right. The strong message is that anyone, anywhere can rewire their brain. But perhaps that isn't true. Following cerebrovascular accident (whether Haemmorhagic, thrombotic or embolism), diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's or other neurological insult severe damage can be done which may have reversible aspects and irreversible aspects. Are people who have had a severe stroke being told they can overcome this if only they try hard enough? I reiterate my message is not to be pessimistic but realistic with today's knowledge. This gentleman is very excited (and that's good to see) but it might be we are looking too crudely at 'damage done' and 'damage undone' by reviewing brain scans. We know which parts of the brain do what job. But there is much overlap and it is too simplistic to say we can discretely dissect away specific problems (although that can be done to some extent).

great!

Plasticity is inversely correlated with age. So one disadvantage of targeting neuroplasticity is how old you are. Yes, when you have brain damage at a very early age, your brain rewires itself in a way that makes you function almost normally. However, when your brain damage happens at a late age, the consequences are clear. When stem cells were used on recent stroke patients, it didn't work wonders although the stem cells population was expanded (stem cells give plasticity).

@donvaughnofficial

+Raggy You are correct: plasticity does decrease with age. Fortunately, it doesn't decrease to zero, so we are working with what's still available, which is sufficient to make some impact.
