Understanding your own mind can be one of the hardest — yet most rewarding — journeys to take. We all know how easy it is to get caught up in thoughts, emotions, and habits that don’t always serve us well.
That’s why Brain Management Training was created: to give you practical tools to notice your patterns, shift your perspective, and strengthen the connection between your body and brain.
In this article, we’ll explore what Brain Management is, how it works in practice, and the ways it may help you build a healthier mindset and lifestyle.
Brain Management Training is a practice designed to help you become more aware of how your brain works and how you can guide it toward healthier patterns.
Rather than focusing on memorizing information, Brain Management is about planting the seeds of positive habits in your mind and nurturing them through daily action, practice, and self-care. By learning new habits, such as reframing thoughts and practicing mind-body connection methods like body tapping and meditation, you can begin to recognize that you are the master of your own brain. Read on to find out more about these methods.
Over time, the awareness you develop with Brain Management can shift how you respond to stress, emotions, and even physical sensations, allowing you to feel more balanced, resilient, and connected to yourself. These habits may also help you feel more energized and focused.
“You are the master of your brain” is one of the wellness principles taught in Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi classes and workshops. You can learn much more about how this principle works in the Brain Management Training workshop.
Many people go through life without realizing they have the power to guide their thoughts and emotions rather than be controlled by them. By practicing the brain mastery techniques you’ll learn in Brain Management Training, negative thoughts can become less bothersome, and you can regain a sense of choice in how to respond to day-to-day challenges. Three simple-to-learn techniques for developing brain mastery are:
Many people overlook just how powerful their thoughts can be, yet our internal dialogue plays a key role in shaping and creating our reality and how we perceive it. The way we think can influence our choices, emotions, and even the possibilities we see for ourselves.
In Brain Management Training, becoming more aware of your thoughts and learning to guide them makes it possible to gradually create the kind of life you truly want to live.
According to Brain Management Training, how we view the world around us can be impacted by the answer we give to these questions: “Who am I?” and “What do I want in life?” Our thoughts, feelings, and even the assumptions we make each day grow from these answers, which eventually transform our core beliefs. When we want to change how our brains work, we need to start by strengthening or transforming the answers to these questions.
An essential part of Brain Management Training is learning how to stay mindful, in other words, stay aware in the present moment. Through mind-body connection techniques, we can open the door to deeper layers of consciousness. When we learn to turn off external distractions and create internal awareness, we can see our unproductive patterns more clearly and make new habits that reflect our true nature. Mind-body connection practices you can learn in this workshop, and in Body & Brain classes, include:
As we keep practicing these methods, our sense of inner calm becomes stronger and more empowering, and that inner shift may gradually transform how we experience the world.
Brain Management Training is also about awakening and developing the “three bodies,” a traditional East Asian perspective which you may find helpful:
As you learn more about this way of viewing yourself and develop a stronger mind-body connection, you may discover more peace, clarity, and motivation for positive change.
Brain Management training begins with simple awareness, but eventually it can become part of your natural way of living. As you start to notice how your thoughts shape the way you experience life, it becomes easier to let go of patterns that don’t serve you. Even if your circumstances remain the same, your perspective may shift, helping you feel more grounded and in charge of how you respond.
A key part of Brain Management is developing sufficient internal awareness to observe external information inputs and phenomena without reacting. In Body & Brain practice, this ability to notice your thoughts and emotions without immediately reacting to them is often called “observer mind.”
When you observe the emotions and information arising in your brain and actively intervene in the processes, you can finally make more positive choices in your life. And that’s when you can say, “I am the owner of my brain.” - from The Power Brain
By developing this kind of internal awareness, you can become better able to pause and reflect rather than being carried away by reactive thoughts or emotions.
To learn Brain Management requires more than reading about it ~ you need to experience it. Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi instructors can help you explore these techniques in a supportive setting — whether at one of the 70+ nationwide locations where Body & Brain classes are offered or from the comfort of your own home through online classes. Each session is designed to help you strengthen the connection between your body and brain, build positive habits, and discover a lifestyle that supports balance and growth.
