Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy: Overview, Process, Benefits - The Human Condition

“Music replays the past memories, awaken our forgotten worlds and make our minds travel.”

The relationship between music and memory is powerful. Music evokes powerful emotions that then bring back memories. When we listen to a piece of music from years ago, we seem to travel back to that moment. We can feel everything as if we were there. Isn't it?

Music And Memory

Our long-term memory can be divided into two distinct types, namely implicit memory and explicit memory. Explicit memory is a deliberate, conscious remembering of the past. Which fades in the absence of recall.Implicit memories are our unconscious and automatic memories.

But How?

Implicit memory is a form of classical conditioning. An event, an emotion, and a song get connected through implicit memory. When a piece of music is paired with a very emotional event, it can be an effective cue to bring back the strong emotion that was felt at that moment.Also, we may even develop a preference for certain music pieces simply because they have been repeatedly played in the background. This psychological phenomenon is known as the mere exposure effect. People tend to like best what is most familiar.

The Exposure Effect

I'm starting with composing rain themed instrumental tracks bringing in the nostalgia feel while we hear!Do listen to it (link below) and let me know in the comment section what does my music remind you of when you listened to it?<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4YUz25qGaRwo8hOxhBoltJ?si=wcPkZUm7SymzHF6PtHZi9g&utm_source=copy-link">Spotify link</a>

How About A Small Experiment?

Because each memory has a soundtrack of its own ;) PLUS A BONUS EXERCISE IS AWAITING AT THE END OF THE STASH.

Songs from the past can trigger powerful emotions and transport us back in time.

Why Does Music Evoke Memories?

The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.

We refuse to believe that which we don't understand.

There are no limitations to the mind except those that we acknowledge.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

"Think and Grow Rich!" is the most widely acclaimed, influential book on success ever published. For a quarter-century, Napoleon Hill interviewed hundreds of successful men and women under the guidance of the richest man of his time, Andrew Carnegie. In this timeless classic, he reveals the secret to their great achievements—a powerful, proven formula that can empower you to achieve your own most cherished goals, too. If there is one must-have guide you need on the road to high achievement and success—to real riches in every aspect of your life—this is it. Unlike most versions of Dr. Hill's book, this edition restores his masterpiece to its original form and intent. It includes essential material on how to thrive in challenging economic times that was taken out of later versions but is incredibly relevant today. This is the only edition of "Think and Grow Rich!" that is fully annotated and indexed, providing key details about Dr. Hill's life and times, his life-long research, and the leaders of business and industry he studied to learn the invaluable principles of success you'll discover here. "This is the best single book on personal success ever written: it made me a millionaire—starting from nothing."—Brian Tracy, author of "Getting Rich Your Own Way" “It's the classic of all classics.” —Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "Swim with the Sharks without Being Eaten Alive" “Reading 'Think and Grow Rich!' many years ago helped me to become the world's greatest retail salesperson. A must to read if you want to become somebody.” —Joe Girard, World's #1 Retail Salesperson, as attested by "The Guinness Book of World Records" “I thought 'Think and Grow Rich!' was a classic and could never be improved. I was wrong. I am sure Dr. Hill would be greatly pleased to see how his work has been honored and enhanced by this outstanding new edition.”—Wally Amos, founder of Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies and author of "The Cookie Never Crumbles" “This book is a jewel! Buy lots of copies for your friends and clients.” —Dottie Walters, CSP, Founder of Walters International Speakers Bureau

The predominant state of mind displayed by those people on the failure curve is blame. The predominant state of mind displayed by those people on the success curve is responsibility.

As you walk your path, it is always, every moment of every day, curving either upward or downward.

The Slight Edge is a philosophy; it represents a way of thinking: what we know, how we hold that knowledge, and what we do.Consistently repeated daily actions + time = unconquerable results.The secret ingredient is straightforward: to do the small things over and over again until success kicks in. Most of these small things are extremely easy to do – such as choosing between a salad or a packet of French fries, saving a penny or spending a penny. Yet, compounded over time, they can produce massive results.

The Slight Edge

Every day we are either moving towards the direction we desire or further away from it based on the decisions we make which determine where we end up. No one fails overnight – nor do you succeed overnight. The difference is in creating our own formula of daily disciplines in seven areas for success that we decide and then design for ourselves: your health, happiness, relationships, personal development, finances, career and our impact on the world. The best news: you can start anytime you choose.

The Seven Daily Disciplines For Success

<ul><li>Things that are easy to do are just as easy not to do. </li><li>For the slight edge to work, you have to do something, and keep doing it until you succeed. </li><li>The results are not immediately visible. The small activities seem insignificant, so it’s easy to give up or stop doing the small actions required to deliver results.</li></ul>

The Slight Edge: Obstacles

<ul><li>Closing the gap: Leverage the natural tension between Point A (where we are) and Point B (where we could be).</li><li>Harnessing the 5 sources of power: Momentum, Completion, Habit, Reflection, and Celebration.</li><li>Focusing on philosophy, not results. Focusing on results = focusing on the past).</li><li>Continuous learning: How to develop yourself continuously.</li><li>Turning your dreams into reality. How to set goals.</li></ul>

The Road to Mastery

There is a natural progression to everything in life: plant, cultivate, harvest.

Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success & Happiness

If knowing there's always something new to learn means you're more intelligent, then, by the same pattern of logic, aspiring to learn more means the same thing. To back this up, plenty of research on the topic has confirmed a positive correlation between inquisitiveness and higher levels of IQ.In other words, the more curious of a person you are, the higher the chances you are more intelligent. What is implied here by curiosity pertains not only to everyday peculiarities, but also philosophical questions that often have no definite answers to them.

You’re Inquisitive

It's always best to let the other person communicate their thoughts in their way and refrain from interrupting them. With that being said, if you sometimes have to fight the urge to finish other people's sentences, and you can distinguish what the other person wants to communicate before they've even said it, it's a sure sign that you are insightful and empathetic. In other words, you have a high level of one of the many, equally relevant types of intelligence - emotional intelligence.

You Can Finish Other People’s Sentences

Smart people tend to have a pronounced control over their feelings, thoughts, and actions when faced with impulses and temptations. In a 2009 study conducted at Yale, psychologists tried to stipulate a correlation between self-control and intelligence. The participants had to take an IQ test in exchange for money.Participants could opt for immediate, smaller payment or wait out, and get paid a higher sum of money. After the study was finished, the analysis of the results revealed that the participants who chose the latter option tended to score better on their IQ tes

You’re high in Self-Control

Another characteristic often observed in intelligent people is being broad-minded. Such people tend to analyze things from multiple perspectives rather than readily adopting opinions as absolute. They thoroughly consider several alternatives before formulating their beliefs and opinions.Moreover, they avoid making generalizations, and they abstain from accepting stereotypes and prejudices. Having such a mindset allows them to be welcoming toward different ideas and concepts, which ultimately supplement their awareness and add to their intelligence.

You’re Broad-Minded

If you have a knack for coming up with innovative ideas or creative solutions to problems, it's an indisputable sign of your intelligence. Creativity is one of the highest expressions of intelligence as it demands you to step outside the box and adjust your thinking patterns according to a given task. Moreover, intelligent people tend to skillfully translate unique ideas into reality, which is a skill that takes more than being book smart.

You’re Creative

Yes, even though you might see procrastination as a terrible habit, it turns out that putting off work and doing it at the last minute might actually be a sign of intelligence. Studies have shown that procrastinators are more likely to ponder over things, rather than opting for the simplest solution. They also prefer spending time on tasks they see as more important, while delaying those that they perceive as trivial.

You’re No Stranger to Procrastination

If you don't mind working while the music is playing or while your next-door neighbors are renovating the apartment, you're in luck! As it turns out, people who can concentrate for lengthy periods and block out the distractions might be more intelligent. Thus, if you're not an easily distracted person, and you can keep your focus on what's relevant while filtering out the things that aren't, it's might be a sign of a higher intellect.

You Can Ignore Distractions

If you can make out connections and patterns that others can't, you probably have an exceptional eye for detail and excellent associative abilities, both of which signify a sharp intellect. Making connections between ostensibly unrelated topics requires abstract thinking and a lot of creativity. What is more, this ability also points to a very conceptual, and open mind, which can discern patterns at a fast rate, and seemingly, in everything.

You Can Make Unapparent Connections

Research has shown that highly intelligent people don't have a problem with being alone, and it doesn't make them feel bored or anxious. They are individualistic and feel comfortable with their own company as they derive satisfaction from socializing to a lesser extent than other people.Essentially, human intelligence has plenty of aspects to it; however, there are some common characteristics and patterns of behaviors that can be recognized in highly intellectual individuals. Therefore, be sure to look out for them as you might be a lot smarter than you realize.

You Don’t Mind Being Alone

Intelligence is not something limited to intellectual, study has found that some behaviour can be considered as intelligent - even procrastination!

10 Signs You Might Be More Intelligent Than You Realize

Unlike the natural philosophers preced him Plato describes the world cognitively. He proposes  Plato's ideas are still the bedrock of psychology today. When we think psychology our mind usually gravitates to people like Freud or Yung, but all modern ideas can be traced back to Plato. He was among the first to discuss the soul, about God as a abstraction of perfect form etc ....

Plato and the beginning of psychology

We have all sorts of divisions we operate with:<ul><li>short term interests (governed by pain& pleasure) vs our long term desires</li><li>subconscious vs the conscious mind, </li><li> reptilian vs the mammal brain</li><li> etc... </li></ul>All of these started with Plato. He looked into diferent ways of knowing, and looked into which states of mind are more reliable than others. He divided the world into:<ul><li>the intelligible, best understood through reason</li><li>the visible, best understood through our senses</li></ul>Our senses are not good enough to understand true reality. What we may take as reality might as well be just shadows of the real thing.

The platonic division: the intelligible vs the visible

Is Plato's most famous parable -  about getting more connected with reality: Imagine people are chained sitting in a cave looking at a wall on which they see nothing but the shadows of real things behind their backs. One of the people breaks free and experience true reality. But he can not explain it to his fellow men, because they lack the experience and the vocabulary to understand him. This is the Matrix story: People living in a simulated reality. Neo escapes the matrix and gets on the journey to free the others.

The Myth Of The Cave

Plato is such an influential thinker: our version of Christianity and some of the most popular movie franchises can be traced back to him.

Ep. 5 - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis - Plato and the Cave

So many of Millennials with housing regrets. What are they? Why do they feel this way? How does the broker community help?

Housing For Millennials 

<ul><li>A new <a href="https://www.realestatewitch.com/2022-millennial-home-buyer-report/">survey </a>found that 82% of millennials regretted something about buying their first home. </li><li>Those who rushed to buy were more likely to have buyer's remorse, and most regretted their location. </li><li>It's a byproduct of the housing crisis, which pressures millennials to buy what they can. </li> </ul>

Stat

Buyer's remorse is real.Just ask millennial homeowners, the majority of whom regret buying their first home. So finds a <a href="https://www.realestatewitch.com/2022-millennial-home-buyer-report/">new survey </a>by the real-estate education platform Clever Real Estate that polled 1,000 people about their homebuying plans. Of the respondents who already owned a home, 82% had at least one significant regret about their home purchase.

82% Have Regr

One in four millennials said their home value decreased while the same amount said their mortgage was expensive. Since buyers often had to shell out more than the asking price to outdo competition, many now realize they overpaid. The survey found that one in six millennials would offer at least $100,000 above asking price for their dream home. Almost half of millennials anticipate maxing out their budgets to buy a home, with one-third planning to spend more than the median US home price of $405,000 at the time of the survey in November.

Biggest Regret Is Financial 

I want to learn how to truly help this generation build wealth through homeownership that doesn't create this regret. 

A Clever Real Estate survey found that 82% of millennials had at least one big regret about buying their home, such as location or rushing to buy.

More and more millennials regret buying their first home

“If you added up all the time wasted searching for shortcuts and trying to cheat the process, the hard work could have already been done by now.”

“Have no single point of failure.Have no single path to success.”

“In the middle, it feels slow.In hindsight, it feels fast.”

“Many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”

“Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer.Put your principles into practice – now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You aren’t a child anymore. The sooner you set yourself to your spiritual program, the happier you will be. The longer you wait, the more you’ll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better.Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do – now.”

A question from <a href="https://barrettbrooks.com/">Barrett Brooks </a>on choosing your heroes:“Here’s the thing about your heroes: You have to know about them to look up to them. The candidate pool is 100% limited by your exposure. That’s why so many kids look up to athletes, I think. They haven’t been exposed to enough other people to look up to them.Here's how I think about that: Who haven’t I been exposed to that would inspire me if I knew they existed or knew the details of their lives? And how could I learn about those people?”
