Here’s an easy-peasy exercise for us to do today. I am talking heady, brainy stuff – the kind of thing spy thrillers thrive on. Brainwashing!
Mind you, I’m not talking about mind control. I’m talking about washing out all the junk our brains fill up with: TV jingles, something somebody said, self criticism, environmental toxins, etc. Our brains can grow heavy, distracted, and tired under the weight of all this stuff.
So today, let’s change that and do a little brainwashing.
Take a deep breath and close your eyes. Breathe into your body and feel your breath reaching into your lungs, filling your blood with rich oxygen. Take a few more breaths.
Now bring your awareness into your brain, and see how it feels today. Does it feel relaxed or wiry? Can you sense the fluids and electrical pulses between your synapses? Take your time as you tune into your brain. Are there any areas that are not being used, or have been shut down? Make a mental note of these places so that you can examine the functions that area performs in the colorful diagram below.
Allow yourself time to become acquainted with your brain and the activities going on in your cranium. Take another deep breath and begin to imagine a waterfall of light pouring in from the universe into your head. Imagine this light clearing away any residues or toxins that may be stored in there. Feel the light moving around the curves of your grey matter, thoroughly washing out all your synapses and cerebral fluids.
Continue washing your brain until you feel a sense of clarity and freshness. Be patient and gentle with yourself if you cannot sense or feel a shift immediately. Being able to direct your consciousness inward is like learning a new language – while it can be challenging or feel awkward at first, press on. Over time, you will become very fluent.
Now take a moment and visualize your brain being filled with light and operating at light speeds effortlessly. Enjoy this experience for as long as you would like, and then when you are ready, open your eyes.
We can energize our brains and map new ways of being by using our minds in this way. Wishing you a lighter, brighter week!
