The document discusses the power of the human mind and brain. It states that mind power is one of the strongest human abilities and that thoughts influence behaviors and actions. The brain contains around 100 billion neurons and has the ability to create ideas, concepts, and interpret the world. Practicing mindfulness through activities like meditation can improve emotional regulation, concentration, and cognitive processing speed by changing how the brain functions. Mindfulness reduces anxiety and stress and provides physical health benefits like improved immune system and cardiovascular health. The human brain and mind are highly complex but also have immense potential.
3. • Mind Power is considered one of the strongest
and most valuable powers that a human person
must possess.
• The human brain has the capacity to create
ideas and concepts and the thoughts that pass
through our mind are responsible for the
execution of your actions or everything that
happens in your life.
• Your thoughts influence your behavior/ attitude
and at the same time control your own action.
4. • According to Franklin D.
Roosevelt, “men and women
are not prisoners of fate, but
only prisoners of their own
minds”.
5. The question of what we
already know about our
brain is still very relevant.
6. • According to Chopra & Tanzi
(2012), - our brain contains
roughly 100 billion nerve cells
forming anywhere from a trillion to
perhaps even a quadrillion
connections called synapses.
7. • Our brain doesn’t only interpret the
world, it creates it (Chopra & Tanzi,
2012).
• In order to understand our brain, we
need to usee this gift of nature. Our
brain leads us to mindful as we act as
leader, inventor, teacher and user of
our brain as purported by Chopra &
Tanzi (2012)
8. Left Brain vs Right Brain
The brain is one complex part of
our body system which is
considered essential and vital. All
functions of the human body such
as thinking and motor skills are
interconnected to the human brain.
9. • Our human brain contains billion
of nerve cells known as neurons.
The brain consists of two cerebral
hemispheres- the artistic (right-
brain dominant) and linear brain
(left-brain dominant).
10. The left side of the human brain is responsible for
controlling the right side of the body.
It also performs tasks that have to do with our
reasoning skills, the way we communicate or
construct speeches, and improving skills in
problem- solving.
People who have superiority of the linear brain are
described as logician and mathematician,
analytical, and objective.
The right side of the brain also coordinates the left
side of the body and performs tasks that have to do
with creativity and aesthetic purposes.

15. • Injuries on the left side of the brain can
cause the following:
1) Difficulty in understanding and expressing
the spoken and written language;
2) There are changes in terms of speech;
3) Experience a verbal memory issues;
4) Impaired logic and the sequencing
difficulties.
16. • According to Feldman
(2008), what makes the brain
astounding is the ability to
allow the human intellect to
flourish by guiding our
behavior and thoughts.
17. • Injuries on the right side of the brain
can cause the following:
1) There are impairments in terms of
attention;
2) Experience of memory issues; and
3) The decrease of awareness in terms of
art and music.
18. Mindfulness, the Way
of the Brain
• Mindfulness has emerged as a popular
component of psychology as well as the
guidance and counseling profession
(Schuldt, 2018).
• Psychotherapeutic techniques such as
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Acceptant and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
make good use of an activity called
“Mindfulness”.
19. • According to Davis & Haynes (2011),
mindfulness is a moment-to-moment
awareness of one’s experience without
judgment. The regular practice of
mindfulness develops changes in how the
brain functions that contribute to emotional
regulation, concentration, and cognitive
processing speed (Davis & Haynes, 2011)
20. • In studies of Grossman, Niermann, Schmidt
&Walach (2004) and Hoffmann, Sawyer, Witt
& Oh (2010), mindfulness reduces
individual’s anxiety, stress, and symptoms of
mood disorder, and the positive effects are
maintained long-term.
• Physical health benefits of mindfulness
include improved immune functioning and
improved cardiovascular health.
21. • Most of the time, the mind is in
the saddle. Conscious control is
ours and always has been. There
is no limit to what we can inspire
the brain to achieve.
