(BB)’s Main Objective: To re-acquire the Art of natural breathing in order to remove stress, anxiety, and information overload. Rapid and/or shallow breathing reduces mental alertness, because it reduces the amount of energy and fresh oxygen fed to the blood. Insufficient chest movement causes (a) the rib cage and surrounding muscles to get stiffer and weaker,…

An artificial neural network is software designed to mimic how our brain works. After proper ‘training’, it can learn how to recognize certain objects or patterns in a huge dataset. Our neuronal pathway network is made visible via brain scans and looks similar to the fractal (self-similar) networks of: star studded skies branch stuffed trees…
When the brains recognize the image of an aggressor, they simultaneously trigger the bodily state of fear as a response to that image. For future action planning, the brains must create a representation of the threat. This representation must contain info about the externally perceived image plus the internal emotional response to that image. By…
The Somatic Marker mechanism works when perceptions interact with emotions. Unlike animals, humans are aware of the presence of their bodies and their “selves”. Damasio concluded that inwardly-directed attention comes from an awareness of both the external environment and the internal milieu. It enables us to use our emotional response to mark and evaluate information coming…
Recent imaging results have identified the insular cortex as a central player in the experience of bodily self-awareness, like: the awareness that our arms and legs belong to us and not to someone else. Though this sounds silly, some stroke patients with damage in this area are convinced their limb(s) do not belong to them…
It is Antonio Damasio’s and our own conclusion is that our emotions are ‘equal partners’ in our intellectual lives, especially in practical decision making. Our Somatic Markers appear to be the mechanism by which emotions conspire with thought to produce all the decisions we make. Every goal, every means to that goal, every intermediate or…

We Came 2 the Conclusion that the c2C: Is Self-help, without Self having to cultivate sufficient God-awareness to remove spells/obstacles. Is spiritual, without organized religion + their God-image performing the ritual of forgiveness of sins. Is true self-help, because you do not have to go somewhere, just be, because no-body but you can fully feel the…
The result can be: Another sensation. Repeat the same c2C exhortation until no more sensations or impressions arise. New insights, more experiential clarity, or answers to earlier stated questions. Quietness of mind and a sense of oneness with the Here & Now. Thought or impulse to act. Apply the c2C exhortation to the accompanying sensation….
