To determine consciousness levels, Hawkins uses a process called kinesiology, which shows the connection between the body, the brain, and its various states of consciousness. He determines the level of a person or object by testing its effect on human musculature. a lower consciousness level will cause muscle to go weak, while a higher consciousness level will strengthen the muscle. Even when the subject is not aware of the object used in the test, consciouness levels calculate consistently.

 I would contend that this method of evaluation works because the subconscious brain possesses abilities to evaluate the relative vibrations of consciousness far more accurately than even than the most well-developed thinking mind. The rational mind can make evaluations with some level of accuracy, if given proper information about an object. But the intuitive mind can sense the relative truthfulness of these things immediately. this ability is evidence of amazing internal wisdom, which the thinking brain can never hope to attain, even after years of experience and study.

  The question then is how to return to this place of oneness. I believe that it is through quieting the mind and the experience of energy that we can return.

  Brain Wave Vibration can open the door to this possibility because it offers a way to stop the thinking mind, even if only for a few minutes. When you practice well, you will fell a disintegration of the surface of your body. Of course, it is not a literal disintergration – your skin and the rest of your body will remain intact. What you will realize, howerer, is that you do not end there, that your being goes far beyond the confines of your body. You will experience that directly, not just as an intellectual concept.

The great news is that you have infinite power to change and refine your brain. A few decades back, scientists
thought that people could have very little influence over their brains. It was assumed that by the time people reached adulthood their brain connections were permanently and indelibly in place.

 In childhood, one might be able to exert some influence over the development of the brain, but for the most part these things were genetically determined. It was thought that the old adage “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” was literally true.
More recently, scientists have discovered that the opposite is true. There is a quality to the brain called neuroplasticity that allows you, right up to the end of your life, to restructure and adapt your brain according to your needs. You
can learn new things and adapt to new environments, even in extreme old age

Live in the moment

- We all rush around at such great speed that we are always looking ahead. What’s next? What’s on my list? At least once each day, stop and be in the moment, using all your senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. It might be in the produce section at the grocery store-it doesn’t matter. Stop and just be. Appreciate being where you are, doing what you are doing. Ask yourself what is memorable about this moment.

As you get older, it is as important that you have a dream for your life as it was when you were young. You may have a better chance of achieving it, now that the basics needs of life – financial security, starting a career, raising a family, etc. – are no longer of primary importance to you. Make a plan for who you want to be one, five, or ten years from now. This does not have to mean starting a new career or taking on some huge project. More importantly it means becoming the kind of person you really want to be in terms of character and your interaction with world round you. If you have ever thought to yourself, “I want to leave the world a better place than I found,” now is the time to act on that desire. To find your vision, find what really fills you with a sense of joy and contentment. For most, this will probably involve contributing something of value to your community or the world. Don’t be afraid to set your goal high and to dream big.

The goal of Brain Wave Vibration is to completely quiet the mind so that the latent powers of the brain can come to the forefront. However, this is not so easy for most people, since there are accustomed to constant, habitual chatter in their minds. Instead of vainly trying to shut off your mind, you can concentrate on a single positive thought. Choose something highly empowering that relates to your personal vision. For example, it could be something as simple as, “I am whole. I am one.” Chant this to yourself, either silently or aloud, as a personal mantra while you practice. Through this process, the vibrations of your own voice will add to the overall effect on your brain waves and will strengthen your transformational intent.

I remember one time when I was a young man there was a bridge under which people threw a lot of garbage. The garbage just piled up week after week. People complained about the garbage, but no one ever did anything to change the situation.

 So one day, I decided I would do something about the problem. I began to clear the garbage away, one piece at a time. When all the trash had been hauled away, I buried it in a hole that I had dug in the mountains. I then planted pumpkin seeds in the ground covering the trash. Soon, big, beautiful pumpkins were growing there.

 This was a huge moment of discovery for me. It came at a moment when I felt truly hopeless about my life. In my early twenties, I had failed the college entrance exams three times. I realized that all I really needed was the opportunity to do something positive for peopel, and that something positive could even come from a pile of trash.

 True brain mastery is the ability to see possibility, even where others see only trash. Those pumpkins grew so well precisely because the garbage had been there before; the trash added nutrients to the soil.

 For real brain mastery, you must learn to see your life in the same way, realizing that all the difficult, ugly parts of life can become the compost from which grows your own fulfillment. The trick is to keep a positive mind so that all the beautiful possibilities of life can be seen.

If you want to be happy, stop waiting for others to make you happy.

Just decide to be happy. If your life seems too dreary, smile anyway.

This may seem like Pollyanna, pie-in-the-sky nonsense at first, but it is very much rooted in the physiological reality of your brain.

Also, smiling is contagious.  Very few people can resist urge to smile back when you smile at them.

As wonderful as a smile is, laughter is even better.

The old saying “Laughter is the best medicine” is literally true.

Laughter boosts the immune system and reduces the stress response, and thus is excellent for brain health.

Furthermore, good attitude and lots of positive social interaction seem to reduce the risk of dementia and other aging-related brain disorder.

A happy brain, it seems, is a healthy brain.

Be Truthful

Once you have really clarified for yourself your new identify, you must work diligently to stay true to it.

This is more easily said than done.  There may be many forces at play that would like to redefine your new identity.

Some of those forces come from outside of you. There may be many people who are invested in having you act and think in the way that suits them.

Of course, if you go along with these forces, you are not managing your own brain at all.

You are letting someone else manage it for you.

The most formidable opponent to your true identity, however, may come from within yourself. This is called your ego.

Your ego is not a bad thing in itself; it is there to ensure your physical happiness in life.

But your ego does not want you to take an unusual path because it is far less comfortable. From your ego’s point of view, it is far better for you

 to take a safe route in life that ensures basic security and status within society.

To avoid the pitfalls of the ego, try to recognize when your need for control, recognition, or security has taken over.

Brain Wave Vibration is a rhythmical training method; it begins with moving your body to the beat of music, and from there the sensation expands as you find your body’s natural rhythm. In a sense, you could say you are calibrating your brain to get back in sync with your body.

  People use rhythm instinctively to help calm their own brainwaves. When a baby cries or fusses, what does a mother do? She rocks and gently bounces the baby until the baby quiets down. No one had to teach the mother how to do this; she does so very naturally. Children will also rock and bounce themselves on their own to calm themselves, if the parent is not there.
