We know that God has designed our brains and bodies to our advantage. Well, sleep – including little naps during the day when you are tired – is one of our greatest advantages. It has a multiplicity of benefits: our brains and bodies restore; our systems reboot; our processing and creativity ability increases; our chances [...]

The deeper you think the more intelligent you become. This is a scriptural and scientific truth: scripturally we are told throughout the Bible (see Proverbs specifically) to get knowledge, understanding and wisdom; scientifically the deeper you think the more thoughts and memories you will grow inside your brain. This means we are not designed to [...]

I am certain most of us have heard the scripture: “…my people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). Well, it is this scripture that has prompted me to write a blog to encourage you to increase your awareness of what you are exposing your mind and bodies to; and to encourage you to follow [...]

Pushing through hard times or challenging situations is not always what we want to do. And I am not just talking about emotional situations, but also about learning situations in school, university or corporate environments. We all know the bible rightly exhorts us to “keep on keeping on” through “hell and high water”, as the [...]

Mind is what the brain does, with the mind being our intellect, will and emotions (our soul realm). This is an interesting concept posing huge challenges and implications for our lives because what we do with our mind impacts our spirit and our body. We use our mind to pretty much do everything. So… It’s [...]

I don’t believe in New Years resolutions…I believe in lifelong resolutions. I believe in making lifelong resolutions that will move me in the direction of being able to successfully step into the excitement of living out my destiny. I recognize that my destiny lies in my passion for researching and understanding the mind and brain [...]

Over the last few years research has been showing that a belief in a loving and benevolent god has many health benefits. A large proportion of these studies have been done in the USA but now in a large Norwegian longitudinal health study called HUNT, researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) [...]

This is a staggering and eye-opening statistic because it also means that only 2-25% of human mental and physical illnesses come from the environment and genes! Scientists are discovering the precise pathways by which changes in human consciousness (thinking) produce changes in our brain and bodies. This consciousness activates our genes and changes our brain. [...]

We process and build thoughts all day long, which become physical realities inside our brain. At nighttime we also think, but in a different way: we sort out the thoughts we have built during the day. Dreams occur during REM sleep (rapid eye movement). And, just as you think in your own unique way, you [...]

Scientific research has shown that 87-98% of mental and physical and behavioral illnesses come from our thought life, which is indubitably a large and frightening number, and contrary to what many of us have been led to believe. In fact, few human processes are turned on or off by a single gene. Most processes require [...]
