But now you can, with the help of Episk Massage!
The brain is not a static organ, as has long been the prevailing view among researchers.
No, it is in fact able to learn new skills through new experiences. The problem is teaching the brain new skills based on old experiences. That is a good deal harder. The brain prefers to use the skills it has already acquired and used most often whenever a familiar situation arises, and it is not inclined to change them. If that skill turns out to be an unfortunate behaviour such as mood swings, stress, anger, low self-esteem and countless other negative reactions of that kind, it would be a good idea to swap those skills for more positive thoughts, feelings and sensations.
So how do you do that with the help of Episk Massage?
We have to force the brain to find new routes to get from A to B.
Until now the brain has taken the easiest route, which means it gets from A to B very quickly, without detours and without thinking about it. So as soon as it experiences an A, it is actually already on its way to B, without giving it another thought.
But more haste, less speed, in so many ways. If we would really like to experience and enjoy the journey, we have to put a spanner in the brain's works. We do that by changing some of the familiar things the brain takes for granted and changing the result, so that 2 + 2 makes 5 and no longer 4.
2 + 2 = 5
If we are convincing enough and keep repeating it, the brain will eventually accept this and build a new motorway that says: 2 + 2 = 5. The more often the brain starts using the new motorway instead of the old one, the bigger and wider the new motorway becomes, while the old road gets smaller and smaller. In the end the new road becomes the brain's preferred choice when we need to work out 2 + 2.
But isn't it wrong to make the brain believe that 2 + 2 = 5?
Not if, instead of numbers, the sum were: tiredness + irritation = outburst of anger, and we replaced it with a new result such as = energy, relaxation and smiles.
