Double Your Brain Power

Do you think you have an average or perhaps an above average mental capacity?Actually you have far more brainpower than you can begin to imagine. You have close to, or perhaps even beyond, genius potential.
You don’t believe me? The past ten years could well be called the decade of the brain. Neuroscience now has the means of observing a healthy living brain in action.
Physicists have discovered parallels between the human brain, and Einstein’s quantum universe. Biological scientists are demystifying the brain’s chemical and electrical mysteries.
Trying to define our brain’s ultimate capacity is like trying to place your finger on a globule of mercury. The human brain is infinitely complex and subtle. And your amazing brain is no exception.
The Amazing Capacity of your Brain
Your brain contains a minimum 1,000,000,000,000 individual nerve cells neurons.
But this figure is even more astounding when you consider that each nerve cell can connect with as many as 100,000 other nerve cells.
If we add upthe potential capacity of your brain cells to make interconnections the resulting number will stretch at least 10.5 million kilometers long. Isn’t that remarkable?
No known person has even approached using their full mental capacity. The human brain is virtually limitless.
It was once estimated that we use about 10% of our mental potential. Today neuroscience has dropped that estimate to less than one percent. And even that figure seems overly optimistic.
Your Thinking Cap
You’ve heard the expression thinking cap. That term refers to your brain’s cerebral cortex the cortical grey matter neuroscientists consider to be the source of your logical thinking capacity.
Your cortex is actually split into two separate sides that are connected by a fantastically dense and complex highway of nerve fibers called the corpus collosum.
In most people, the left side of the cerebral cortex deals with logical matters words, numbers, reasoning, and analysis. It spends a lot of time in the beta brainwave range.
The right side of your cerebral cortex, on the other hand, deals with imagination, images, color, day-dreaming, visualization, and pattern recognition. It tends to focus quite a bit in the alpha brainwave range that’s so highly developed in meditators.
Was Einstein Right-Brained or Left-Brained?
There’s a common assumption that most people are either right-brained OR left-brained.
If that’s true, then we must assume that the great scientific genius Albert Einstein was left-brained while the great creative master of photography Ansel Adams would then have been right-brained.
But was this the case?
An examination of the notebooks of Albert Einstein and Ansel Adams pokes huge holes in this common theory. In fact, Einstein did NOT credit his greatest scientific insights to his left-brain logic but rather to right-brain highly creative daydreaming.
And Ansel Adams credited his greatest art photographs not to his right-brain artistic eye but rather to his left-brain detailed analytical note taking.
The Whole-Brain Secret
Actually – your most powerful and expansive mental activities are those using both sides of your cortex.
If you describe yourself as primarily creative or intuitive right-brained, or analytical and logical left-brained, you are just describing the side of the cortex you have most successfully developed.
With the correct nurturing, the other side of your cortex can also flourish and develop! This has the potential to double your mind power.
Get Immediate Results
There’s an outrageously powerful way for you to immediately refine the non-dominant side of your cortex. Great athletes do it. So do top executives, famous artists, and people from all walks of life who seek to excel in their lives.
On first reading, the following solution may seem too simple to be effective. But just give it a try, and you’ll be amazed at the expanded depth of your mental capacity.
The solution? Do what Einstein and Ansel Adams did.
If you’re analytical encourage yourself to daydream. And if you’re instead predominantly creative encourage yourself to begin to logically analyze your creative efforts.
Notice as many details of life or a problem as possible. Activate your mind and ask yourself what if. And begin to pay more attention to your mental wanderings.
Build Your Mental Focus
A really big key to making this work is commitment and mental focus.
Here’s why: The instant you commit, and focus your amazing brain on a single thought, you fire up laser-like mental power. In that millisecond you actually physically strengthen your brain’s neural networks attached to that thought or goal.
This is the true key to peak performance and masters-level performance in all areas of life.

Whole Brain Thinking and Mind Power

Do you think you have an average or perhaps an above average mental capacity?
Actually you have far more mind power than you can begin to imagine. You have close to, or perhaps even beyond, genius potential.
The past ten years could well be called the decade of the brain. Scientists have discovered some amazing parallels between the human brain and Einstein’s quantum universe. But still, trying to define our brain’s ultimate capacity is like trying to place your finger on a globule of mercury. The human mind is infinitely complex and subtle.
The Amazing Capacity of your Brain
Your brain contains a minimum 1,000,000,000,000 individual nerve cells (neurons). And each of those tiny neurons  is capable of  interacting with as many as 100,000 fellow neurons. If we tabulate the potential capacity of your brain cells to make interconnections — the resulting number would be at least 10.5 million kilometers long.
It was once estimated that we use about 10% of our mental potential. Today neuroscience has dropped that estimate to less than one percent. And even that figure seems overly optimistic.
Your Thinking Cap
You’ve likely heard the expression thinking cap. That slang term refers to our brain’s cerebral cortex — the grey matter neuroscientists consider the source of our thinking capacity.
Your cortex is actually split into two separate sides that are connected by a dense, highly complex highway of nerve fibers called the corpus collosum. In most people, the left side of the cerebral cortex deals with logical matters — words, numbers, reasoning, and analysis. It spends a lot of time in the beta brainwave range.
The right side of your cerebral cortex, on the other hand, deals with imagination, images, color, day-dreaming, visualization, and pattern recognition. It tends to focus quite a bit in the alpha brainwave range that is so highly developed in meditators.
Build a High Performance Mind
There’s a common assumption that mostÂof us are either right-brained OR left-brained. But if that’s true, then we must assume that the great scientific genius Albert Einstein was left-brained — and the great creative master of photography, Ansel Adams, would then have been right-brained.
But examinations of the notebooks of Albert Einstein and Ansel Adams pokes huge holes in this assumption. In fact, Einstein credited his greatest scientific insights not to left-brain logic — but to his right-brain highly creative daydreaming. And Ansel Adams credited his greatest art photographs not to his right-brain artistic eye — but rather to his left-brain detailed analytical note taking.
When you describe yourself as primarily creative or intuitive (right-brained), or analytical and logical (left-brained), you are just describing the side of the cortex you have most successfully developed.
So what’s behind an Enstein or Ansel Adams high performance mind? And is it possible to actually develop such a mind?
Yes, such a mental capacity can be built. Our most powerful and expansive mental activities are those using both sides of our cortex. And with the proper training, both sides of your cortex can flourish and develop. Such whole brain thinking has the potential to virtually DOUBLE your mind power.
If YOU seek to excel in YOUR your life, whole brain thinking is a primary key. This involves developing the electrical signals that pass through the massive corpus collosum connecting your right and left cerebral hemispheres. One way to work on strengthening the capacity of your corpus collosum is to focus on developing your creativity if you tend to be logical, and your logic if you tend to be a creative type. This will encourage the whole brain thinking characteristic of geniuses like Einstein and Adams.
