WHERE Do You Live?
Hello, LWA Seekers of Greater Well-Being!
Disappointed? Anxious? Stressed? Maybe even on medication just to feel level? If that's you, the cause isn't “out there” — it's in where you live. At any moment, your brain is running one of two distinct programs, and each one runs the show differently.
Down or depressed? You're living in the past — childhood, last year, or five minutes ago. Anxious or stressed? You're living in the future, bracing for some outcome that hasn't happened yet. Either way, you're in your Survival Brain, letting outside events run your inside world. Every negative thought fires off thousands of neurochemical reactions — physically and emotionally. That's dis-ease, literally. The Survival Brain thinks it's protecting you. In reality, it's just working overtime creating havoc in the short term (acute disease) and long-term (chronic disease).
Here's the thing: your Survival Brain was built for the Stone Age — predators, food shortages, staying warm. None of us are worried about starving, freezing to death, or being eaten walking to the mailbox. But that same wiring now runs on modern fuel: what someone might think of us, what might go wrong, what we don't have, who disagreed with us. Ridiculous, when you think about it. Life is short. Why do we keep doing this? WHY? Our Programming! But programming can be changed.
The past is over. Dump it. The future hasn't happened. Stop rehearsing it. Simple — not necessarily easy. The programming runs on autopilot and convinces us there’s no other way. So what's the alternative?
THE ANSWER: Your Thriving Brain. Per Harvard neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, your Thriving Brain is your connection to Source — to the Divine — where Oneness exists. It's all about “WE.” It's the neural circuitry for peace, joy, and success that's already built into every one of us. We just have to learn how to access it.
Want to:
Feel what you've never felt?
Think what you've never thought?
Understand what you've never understood?
Who wouldn't? And here's the great news: you don't need to be a psychiatrist, neuroscientist, or quantum physicist to get there. Kids can understand this. The tools have been around for thousands of years — most people are simply unaware of the simple daily practices that switch these circuits on.
We live in both worlds — the sensory world that helps us navigate day-to-day decisions, and the Divine world where Peace and Joy already exist. We can have “on Earth as it is in Heaven.” The world we were created to experience. How? We need the manual to operate both worlds. They need to talk to each other. The circuitry exists for our worlds to communicate. We have to understand the operating system.
Learn how to run your entire brain for Peace, Joy, and Success — that's the heart of Living WELL Aware at Cedarbrake. STOP the struggle. STOP the complacency. STOP the mediocrity. Start doing what 99% of the population isn't. Be an outlier. See ya at Cedarbrake!
