Advances in Understanding the Brain

By Matthew Ferguson

It is remarkable to me just how far we have come in the last decade and the incredible potential for the future in how we think of the brain and neuroscience. Old truths have been proved false. We can generate new neurons, we do have brain plasticity and our mental state i.e. stress, does really affect our physical health by it’s effect on our molecular biology and much more controversially it effects our genetic expression. These are all scientific truths that were once dismissed as pseudo-science by a sceptical audience.

A compelling new book ‘The Scientific American Brave New Brain’ by Judith Hortsman and Scientific American has been recently published by the Scientific American group. It is a well put together compilation of the most up to date scientific discoveries about the brain and follows a format of past present and future knowledge.

It also holds some easy to follow irrefutable discoveries that meditation and exercise are probably the most significant keys to good brain health. I therefore happily conclude that hypnosis and NLP process that help put us in more positive and resourceful states bring all kinds of “consequences” and as you know I often joke “some of them are even good!”

I hope all the people that have trained with me, and those of you who have not, will find this an interesting read and an encouragement to continue to develop your abilities in hypnotherapy, NLP, coaching, meditation and exercise because not only will you be doing yourself a power of scientifically backed good but also be part of a journey as Buzz Lightyear would say” into infinity and beyond”!
