If  brain can function better and faster, it will. The healthy brain naturally seeks to operate as efficiently as possible if you expand brain capacity and connections, the brain will take advantage for new resources every time it faces a processing task. Since academic performance is dependant on cognitive skill function increasing the brain’s capabilities leads to improved the academic performance.

Researchers have been astounded at cases where portions of a patient’s brain were damaged or surgically removed following disease or stroke. Yet memories of the skills in the remaining part of the brain remained and could even be improved!¹ With deliberate training, these individuals were able to retain or relearn skills in other parts of the brain. These cases show not only that knowledge can be transferred between parts of the brain, but that the remaining parts can be strengthened as well.

Application: LearningRx training primarily concentrates on increasing and strengthening brain function and efficiency. This leaves the secondary activity of academic tutoring to others if such help is still needed to catch up. By focusing on the foundation of a student’s capacity to learn, learning is ultimately (and quickly) enhanced for a lifetime.

Increase Brain Power – Progress
Big, fast changes are important
The brain has the potential to expand -- and do so quickly. Very few people have maximized their innate learning capacity, which is actually designed to grow. Good training simply takes advantage of these inherent qualities of the brain.

The brain recognizes big change as important change. When facing the call for big, fast changes, people may at first be apprehensive. But, when the big, fast changes happen, they are rewarded with pride and increased motivation. You can call it the “payoff for taking the risk.” The bigger the payoff, and the sooner it is realized, the greater a student’s willingness to go through the training procedures. Big, fast changes maximize the brain’s tendency to adapt to important information. They also maximize the student’s motivation and self-esteem.

Here’s a question we received regarding our intuition training course that helps with developing intuition.

Peter Anderson provides insight into balancing heart and mind.

We hope you enjoy this Q&A session.

clara: I really need help with the “heart” aspect. My main challenge at the moment is identifying when I’m “in heart,” and knowing how to open up to my heart and its intelligence. I’ve read the six steps to intuition in your “Developing Your Intuition” eBook and have done it a few times, but I feel like I’m a bit off the planet when I do this; out of touch with reality.

Are there certain indicators that can let me know when I’m really coming from a heart space, as opposed to a head space or a “needy” space? My biggest challenge is to identify this so I can manifest what my heart really wants, not what I think I want in my head. I get so confused.

Peter: I love how you phrased, “…open up to my heart and its intelligence.” Entering altered states of consciousness and the subsequent shift in really will really help.

Love your “head.” It just wants to help. When you ask a question and your mind provides an answer, just thank that aspect of your being for its contribution. Mind is used to being the provider of answers.

Love all aspects of your being that seem to be “needy.” You have needs and wants and desires. Allow them to exist. Give them space to be. (Not space to run your life…space to be.)

My suggestion is to give yourself permission to play with learning to develop your intuition. See if you can play with temporarily setting aside the important questions in life, like what your heart truly wants. Instead, begin with play and keep things fun and light.

Act “As If” You Can

Learn to run through the first five “Developing Intuition” steps quickly:

Grounding
Centering & Releasing
Affirming
Aligning
Asking
Don’t worry about doing these steps perfectly. Just pretend that you can do them quickly. Act “as if” you can. After some practice doing the first five steps slowly, you’ll be able to do them in one slow, deep breath in…and out…

Then you can finish the sixth step of “receiving” as you once again breathe in…

Breathe in the answer. This is your receiving.

Here are some example areas of life where you can play:

When your phone rings, sense the energy and ask yourself who is calling. Your receiving (the sixth step) is what you guess as the answer. See if you can let go of having to get the “right” answer. Just enjoy noticing what you receive.
When you see an email message from someone, sense the energy of the message and ask what they’re writing about. Your receiving (again, the sixth step) is what you feel is the answer.
