How Brain Training Works

Brain training is one of the most valuable commitments that you can make on your journey of healing and self development.

You don’t need to understand how the sessions work for them to work, but you can maximize their benefits by increasing awareness of the mechanics behind them.

The information presented below, will explain to you what’s happening, as well as the deeper problem you are solving as you use the sessions to tackle situations.

What’s happening in the sessions

Brain training sessions involve two main activities that are fairly simple to do.

The first is scanning through information in your memory based on your focus for the session.

The second activity involves editing this information with breath sequences called directive breaths.

Directive breaths are linked to directives that have authority over the information in your memory that you are scanning.

Doing a directive breath gives your brain instruction to deactivate a directive, which helps reinstate the self directive as the authority of the information.

Scanning through your memory, then following up with the appropriate breath, is done for several layers, until you feel relaxed, empowered, and energized to take action.

As you edit each layer of a memory using directive breaths, the memory changes in how it looks and feels.

As a result of deactivating the directives controlling the memory, it will play out differently, shifting your mind from a disempowered to empowered state.

By the end of the session, the challenges you are working through should feel more manageable, as you reclaim your power to create your desired reality.

This all comes as a result of turning off directives that were overriding you, taking this power away.

While this process appears simple on the surface, there is quite a lot of depth under the hood.

In order to understand how the breath sequences work, the first step is opening your mind to the possibility that there is more to memory than you already know.

The second step, is understanding what directives are, and why it is important to reinstate the self directive as the leading authority directing the flow of you life.

Let's dive right into it.

The mechanics of memory

Memory is generally thought to be stored in the brain through physical and biochemical changes in neurons and their connections.

However a different perspective suggests that memory has a definite physical structure, within which our brains store all of the information accumulated throughout our lifetime.

This is new perspective is tricky to grasp, because it takes us into a field that involves structures imperceptible to our senses and even our most advanced technologies to date.

Did you know that your memories are organized using quantum mechanics?

Memory is an incredibly complex quantum system, where your memories exist in a wave state, as multiple unique brain wave states co-existing at the same time.

Once you observe a memory, this memory will change from a wave state into a particle state, and the memory then exists as one of these unique brain wave states.

We call this particle state with a single brain wave a bit, as it is now a unit of information that you have consciously observed.

All of your memories exist in wave form, and each memory you reflect on gets converted into a custom sequence of bits that becomes your version of that memory.

It’s important to understand that a custom bit sequence is a version of your memory and not exactly what happened in your timeline.

Regardless of how accurate you believe you are when sharing something that happened, the information comes from the bits you have customized to serve your goals.

In the sessions, we are not editing your timeline memory, but editing your bits extracted from your timeline memory.

Bits are a form of intelligence your brain creates to walk you through unlocking the consciousness required to achieve your goals.

You can think of bits as like little helpers that pop up in your mind when you make a goal, and start to reflect on the memory associated with your goal.

Each bit is responsible for a certain task that you need to perform to reach your goal, and its purpose is to provide you with consciousness to perform this task.

If you are unable to perform this task, or need to improve it to a higher standard, the bit will continue to increase in consciousness, to guide you with more depth.

Ideally, once you’ve performed a task and it is something you can do without the need for guidance, the bit for that task would then be deleted - poof!

However, this is not the case, and where the problem actually begins.

The default operating system of the brain lacks the function to delete bits once they are created.

Consequentially, they keep getting smarter: increasing in complexity, depleting brain power and overriding the self.

Data Networks

When you start a goal, to organize all of the bits for tasks included in that goal, your brain uses an organizational system called a data network.

Data networks are like file folders for organizing your memory, kind of like the ones on you have on your computer to organize files.

Your brain creates millions of unique data networks, to store all the information linked to each thing and action that is in your life.

A data network can essentially be any noun - a person, a group, a place, an object, a pet, an idea, a relationship, your job, etc.

A data network can also be any verb - talking to a person, walking your dog, writing a text, doing laundry, drinking a cup of coffee, etc.

The data networks we primarily focus in the brain training sessions are the ones allocated for your goals.

When you focus on a goal, your mind is traversing a data network organized by your brain, and in this data network, there are bits customized to assist you in reaching this goal.

What’s important to understand, is that data networks are like file folders, and the bits in them accumulate information to increase consciousness.

Gradually, as the bits in a network accumulate information, the network itself eventually becomes full.

A bit deeper into information overload

Information overload is generally thought of as the stress we go through from dealing with more information than our brains can manage.

The solutions for this are pretty straightforward: take a break, reduce the clutter, limit information consumption, get out in nature, connect with your body, and practice mindfulness.

While these are temporarily beneficial strategies, they come from a very oversimplified understanding of what information overload is, what causes it, and how it is actually affecting the brain.

Our brains are accumulating a lot of non-functional information from modern technology, such as smartphones, that gives us nearly instant access to massive amounts of data.

Our brains are also accumulating lots of non-functional information, in a non-verbal format: from our toxic food, water and air supplies, electromagnetic fields, and various pressures.

This information is accumulates in our bits daily, and since the human brain has not evolved to manage this much information, everyone is struggling with information overload, unaware of how deep it actually goes.

Functional vs Non-Functional Information

What determines if the information your bits accumulate is either functional or non functional is the source of the information, and if the information has energy you can use.

Functional information is real-time information that is generated from your body, whenever you are physically active, exploring something new, and having a hands-on learning experience.

Exercising, going out in nature, using your hands, and learning a new skill, are all examples of activites that generate functional information.

Non-functional information is information outside of real-time, generated from other sources such as chemicals, storylines, electromagnetic frequency and pressure from various things, like deadlines.

As you do things like eat food, learn information, talk with others, walk in the sun, interact with digital screens and try to meet pressured deadlines, your brain is accumulating non-functional information.

Functional information is information that you can use, because it is your information that has your energy in it, since it is generated from you when your body takes action.

Non-functional information can’t be used by you, unless you supply it with energy from an external source. Since you did not generate this information, it lacks functional or usable energy.

The ratio of functional vs non-functional information in a bit, determines how functional the bit is, which is the amount of natural energy you have available to perform the task that bit is responsible for.

This natural energy is your brain power.

If you try to perform a task, and the information in the bit for that task is mostly non-functional, meaning it has low brain power, then you will struggle with that task and have a bad experience.

The functionality of information and how it affects your performance is different way to view life, because you would think that by eating food you are giving your body the energy it needs to perform.

Chemically, you are to a certain extent, but along with this, food will also generate quite a bit more non-functional information, requiring you to supply this information with energy to use it.

While eating healthy and organic food is a step in the right direction, it is only reducing the amount of non-functional information that your bits are accumulating.

To wrap your mind around this, you have to start viewing reality as a construct of information, not chemistry.

Why we lose passion

The first time you start something, your brain creates a network, the information generated inside the bits of that network are mostly functional, from physically taking a new action and exploring something new.

Once you repeat that thing, although it is technically an action in real-time, it is also something you’ve done before, so the bits associated accumulate more non-functional information.

‘I wish I could go back to the first time I did this’.

We've all heard ourselves or someone else say this before.

The reason we say this, is because starting something for the first time generated mostly functional information, but then generated more non-functional information as we kept taking actions.

When we first had that experience, the network had a lot of brain power, but as we repeated the experience, the network decreased in brain power, gradually dulling the energy of the experience.

When you start a new thing, such as a business or a relationship, you create a new data network that is functional, because it has more functional bits than non-functional bits in it.

But as the bits accumulate more non-functional information in that data network, the bits become non-functional, causing the data network to become full and a non-functional network.

When a data network non-functional from being full, it becomes a lot harder to be present, productive, adventurous, lighthearted, and naturally in a good mood when focusing on it and taking action.

The importance of brain power

Every area of your life has its own network with a certain amount of brainpower in it, determining the state of mind that you generate when you focus on that network.

Have you ever focused on a goal, a certain person, or an area of your life, and then suddenly, your energy and mood just drops?

Sucks doesn't it?

When you are low on brain power in a network, focusing on it will cause you to be in a low-energy and unstable state of mind.

This is a disempowering state, where you will feel powerless and find it hard to take responsibility to change the situation you are in.

Once you are in this state, your brain goes into escape mode, to escape this reality.

Escape Mode

When you have brainpower for a goal, your brain is in creator mode: you are in an empowered state, performing tasks is enjoyable, and you have the energy to keep improving.

You are focused, productive, challenging yourself with a time-bound goal is fun, and you take the time to celebrate your accomplishments, which happen pretty often.

When you lack brainpower, you will connect to all of this potential to achieve your goals, but then later find it difficult to make any real progress due to mental congestion, burnout, and anxiety.

This is what escape mode is - a constant tease, where you know your potential, but when it comes to taking action, you don't feel like are enough or have enough information to make things happen.

So your brain forces you to escape this shitty reality, by getting you to either:

Temporarily increasing your brain power, to aqcuire energy:

• with chemical escapes (e.g. drugs, sugar, obsessive healthy eating)
• high intensity escapes (e.g. drama, gambling, adrenaline-fueled activities)
• repetitive escapes (e.g. scrolling, tv-series-binging, videogames)
• physical escapes (e.g. meditation, travelling, getting new things)

Or lowering brainpower requirements, to conserve energy:

• isolating yourself
• reducing your standards
• avoiding responsibilities
• cutting off connections with others
