Elsewhere

Elsewhere

Neuroscience of imaginations

At this moment

With all the adjectives

you are just yourself

with your physical state

easy to see and locate

But where and who are you inside your head?

You have got the Power to be here and Elsewhere.

Here is your reality

In this knowable universe, on planet Earth

In this place you state as your world.

But do you have many worlds?

What is that different world of yours?

A different planet, different universe or a next Cosmos?

A written world, a visual world or a wonderland, perhaps?

A real world or fiction?

Exactly! You have got the power of Imagination.

This gives you a taste

Of the desired alternate perspect

You can flee

Away from current time and place

From your emotions and may be from yourself

It gives you a Power to Escape.

Is it a process or an art, in fact?

The prefrontal cortex masters the act

It shifts your ‘reference point’

Projects ‘self’ to ‘someone else’

From ‘now’ to ‘then’

And turns ‘here’ to ‘there’

A Power of changing reality to Elsewhere.

With every shift you make

A different neural network you create

You build up your mental workspace

New ideas are born

Resulting in setting new plans, goals and actions

Hence, “Intelligence isn’t knowledge

But the Power of Imaginations”

It also has a way through

The medial temporal lobe

That which can ‘remember’

And retrieve long term memories

A keeper of hope

A center of navigation

A part that gives you direction

A Power of well-directed Imagination

You can imagine whatever you desire

And for a moment you let go your fear

Thanks to oxytoxin that gets released

It calms you down, makes you happy

And you feel at ease.

So, when at times, in this overwhelming place

You feel helpless, depressed or powerless

I hope you don’t forget yourself entirely

You must remember this act of Infinity.

You may escape, create, wander or navigate

With your perfect imperfections

All you have is the

POWER OF IMAGINATIONS!

Breathe Bliss

BREATHE BLISS

BRAIN AND BREATHING

Breathe in deep

Clarify your clutter

See how that creates space in your life

It shall diffuse disturbance

Induce ambition

Also can give you abundance

But how does breathing influence your cognition?

--------------------------

A breathing cycle

Inhale and Exhale

Two nostrils, periodically through each,

But never from both at once

Involuntary and repetitive

Hence, a rhythm

More than once throughout a day

Hence, ‘Ultradian’.

-------The Nasal cycle------

Owe to contra-lateral Brain-Body axis

Breathe through right nostril, activate your left brain

Account your intelligence, manifest the logic

And expressing in physical activity

Mark your verbal abilities.

What happens when the flow shifts to left?

You create art, write poems, dream and

may have thoughts of sky, moon and rain

Nothing much, you activate your right brain.

What if we don’t breathe deep?

Aah, then my dear, you live shallow

Disturb your sleep, dream less, Work low

Smile half and remember nothing.

Also, but don’t haste, inhale at rest

Stop breathing fast

It makes you angry or scared

Your heart beats quick

Be worried, it gets you all panicked.

----------------------------

It is an absolute Science

The flow initiates brain activity

Stimulates neurons around hippocampus

A region involved in memory and creations

Hence, Breathing influences Cognition as well as Emotions.

Pay attention

You can regulate and rewire

Since, you are considered ‘normal’

‘a sane-human’, ‘with no abnormalities’ perhaps

Think, and help those

‘A valued breath’ who won’t understand.

Fine-tune your body-clock

Regulate your ultradian rhythm

Because you are your sole-creator

  Your breathing shall boldly matter

Inhale. Exhale. Be aware of the space-in-between

It’s a cycle, focus on the turns

You shift your energy

It gets you at ease

You shall now slowly breathe at peace

I wish, after understanding all this, you may all

------ Breathe bliss! ------

3 pounds of Infinity

3 pounds of Infinity

We think infinity isn't measurable?

It’s far stretched beyond our reach?

---NO--

It is concise, perfectly in our reach,

Probably the most closest

and can be weighed.

shapeless, but can be structured.

It is 3 pounds, with 100 billion neuronal cells around

no globe but has 2 hemispheres

no distinct pointing but 135 areas all mapped and marked.

with some white and grey stuff all bound.

Its Brain

the controlling unit

which tells you to work and sleep,

to breath and break

to feel and love

to wander without moving

to dream and be lost

protected in a hard shell

when imaged, resembles a cosmos.

Do we need entire of it?

or a part, a piece, quite tiny

since, an infinity cut into half

is still an infinity!

ability to change itself, grow, deepen, intensify,

but also shatter, disorder and mis-align

the best beyond perfections

if not, finitely flawed.

to whatever, whoever, wherever you are

-- unlike Dr. Frankenstein--

you cannot change what's physically in your head

but (happy realization) you can rewire it.

Yet that being said

fortunately and unfortunately

you are just yours

3 pounds of infinity.
